254 defeated
At this moment, the bite of blood is still in a state of wandering outside the object, sitting helplessly on the floor next to the sofa like a runaway child, as if he is still wordlessly digesting the impact of death.
I also remained silent, just quietly observing her, looking at her upright face, her unusual hair and eyes, her slender body and hands and feet. If you just look at it with the naked eye, probably no one can imagine her real situation.
Now she is a ghost, and a ghost, as the name suggests, is a spirit. In most cases, it is easy for a warlock to tell the difference between a living person.
Since it is said that "most cases", it means that there are still a few exceptions, and she is now such an exception. The reason why I didn't immediately recognize her as a ghost at first was because she gave me almost the same feeling as a human with a physical body, so even if I had the slightest suspicion, it was difficult to reason about it as a solid train of thought.
However, as long as you continue to think on the basis of believing that she is a ghost, you can analyze the mechanism. She was able to split her body into countless spirit bats, and then reconstruct her body from countless spirit bats, and it was as easy for her to use spirit body as she was to breathe. I remembered how her flesh had suddenly become uncertain during the battle, and I was completely sure of my assumptions. Her "flesh" is the product of ghostly mimicry.
Her mimicry deceived not only me, but also herself, and she really thought she was a living person. Even if such a mimetic must seem flawed to her, she must have unconsciously deceived herself in order to avoid realizing her own death.
If she was half-demon, half-human in the past, now she is not even half human, but completely human-like and inhuman.
However, if I had to say that, the sirens were about the same as her. The siren's young girl is also a mimic, and the body is still a mystery, and even if it is really regarded as a weapon, it has nothing to do with humans. And just as I can't think of the sirens as truly extrahuman, I'm still adamant that the bite of blood is human.
And the person who bites the blood, this sinful, bloody, inherently evil man, died on a strange path that ran counter to the dark ideas of her past in order to be praised by me, to be embraced by me, and to be accepted by me from the bottom of my heart.
I used to think that she had to meet her own punishment. It's like me.
If her most taboo is death, then she should usher in her most taboo end, to be like a mouse in the gutter with her eyes wide open and die in an unknown corner.
So, is she now ready for her real punishment?
If yes, should I forgive her for her sins? Or is it that even though she has been punished in this way, she still can't repay the bad karma she has accumulated so far?
I want to forgive her.
Even if not all, just a tenth, a hundredth, a thousandth, I want to forgive her a little bit.
It is clear to me that I am not qualified to forgive her on behalf of anyone. Even if I had forgiven her, it would never have been possible for anyone else to be as moved by her sacrifice as I was. Because she sacrificed only for me, not for everyone else.
At the same time, if I really decide to forgive her, then it will be equivalent to breaking the bottom line that I have held on to so far. Because I can forgive even a witch like her, and I may want to forgive myself in the future. This is an exception that must not be made.
And on top of that, I still want to hug her as she wants. Even though she would be fierce as soon as I did so, enjoying her own blood and tears while trying to kill me, I still wanted to fulfill her wishes.
Because I want her to be rewarded.
I'd love to stop myself from thinking about this deviance, but I can't do that anymore. From this, I may have lost to her.
The demon Li Duo was defeated by the half-blood demon and bit blood.

However, I still have to face a very real problem.
Generally speaking, ghosts are divided into earthbound spirits and obsession spirits, but ghosts transformed by arcane methods are not in between. It can be seen that the current biting of blood retains a fairly complete pre-life personality, that is to say, what she would do before her death, and what she will do now.
It's just that since she was a ghost specially transformed when she was dying, she should still have some kind of obsession of "wanting to achieve it even if she dies" as her internal driving force, probably to achieve her unfulfilled wish in her life. And even she herself admits that her real desire is not to be hugged by me, but to wait until I hug her and then turn her head and bite my throat.
Suppose I die under her counterbite, or fall into a state where I can't fight, or take a step back, even if she becomes the enemy who has me as the top priority, I will be hopeless to stop the dawn after that.
I must stop Dawn's plan within a dozen hours, preferably killing him along with Fazheng, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
And after killing Dawn, I'm bound to be caught up in its self-destruction, which means I won't be able to repay the bite until the end.
If only there was a way to deal with Dawn's self-detonation. That way, after killing Dawn, I can safely repay the bite blood. As for whether the bite will try to kill me at that time, I'll talk about it then. And now I don't know if I should show an attitude of accepting the bite of blood, whether if I do this, the bite of blood will immediately show my fangs.
In addition, it is still not clear to me how exactly Dawn intends to use the "pollution" vortex over the ruins of the broadcasting tower.
"I should be able to guess what that vortex is for." The siren suddenly said, "If nothing happens, Dawn will most likely use that vortex to become a Stage 3 undead." ”
"Why?" I asked.
"Well......" she thought for a moment, and then said, "First of all, the undead can't use their own 'pollution' in principle. ”
"Because the 'pollution' of the undead is too deeply integrated with their physical and spiritual bodies." I nodded, "If the undead can manipulate their own 'pollution', it means that they can use their own power to strip the 'pollution' out of themselves and get rid of the identity of the undead as they please." ”
"Yes. Therefore, even if Dawn can simulate the operation of the power of pollution, it will not be able to use the 'pollution' itself, let alone follow a mysterious path to inject its own 'pollution' into other people's bodies. "But in my opinion, there are two exceptions." ”
"Two scenarios?" I can't even think of a scenario.
"The first situation is that the body of this undead person has been forcibly injected with too much 'pollution'." She said, "Once the 'pollution' inside the body is saturated, the excess pollution will no longer be able to continue to integrate deeply with this undead. Under these conditions, the undead will temporarily possess 'pollution' that can be exported to the outside world after entering Stage 3. ”
"Dawn plans to put that 'pollution' into her body first, and then turn everyone else into immortals?" I asked, "But if he wants to do this, he just takes out the 'pollution' vortex and uses it, as if there is no need to put it in his body first, right?" ”
"Dawn had threatened that he had the means to reach the 'upstream' position close to the Great True Spirit to pollute every human downstream, and his ability to attack others using mysterious paths was simulated by observing the power of the Pollution Power, a metamorphosed True Spirit power...... If my prediction is correct, the mysterious path he used is likely to be the realm that is close to the Great True Spirit. She said in a shocking voice, "The Great True Spirit is the prototype of all human beings, and considering that he can use the principle of sympathetic witchcraft to attack others with a fire curse, it is likely that he will use the Great True Spirit as his medium, and then use his own flame as the carrier of 'pollution', and transmit all the overloaded 'pollution' on his body to a large number of humans out of thin air." ”
"Is this true?" I said this reflexively, but other information flashed through my head as well. Both Hakuju and Dawn believe that the power of pollution has the power to redefine the great true spirit, and the reason why the stage three immortals can't even kill the power of the true spirit is because 'pollution' has penetrated into a mysterious realm that does not exist in the existing theoretical framework.
Could that mysterious realm be the place where every human being is connected close to the Great True Spirit?
This is the mysterious path that Dawn touches after observing how the power of pollution works?
I had a vague feeling that I was hitting the bull's-eye, and suddenly remembered something else, and then asked, "What is the second situation where you just said that the undead can manipulate 'pollution'?" ”
"That's how to dismantle one's own spirit." The siren said, "As long as one's spirit body is broken down into spirits, then the tainted spirits can be used as a polluting force of low purity." It's just that this kind of behavior is like an immortal burning himself to ashes, and it will bring extremely great pain to himself, which is generally not done. Unless ......"
"Unless it's time when everything is irreparable." "That is, when Dawn blew itself up, it was likely that the power of pollution would also be incorporated, and everyone involved in it would be reduced to ashes that he could not die to death like himself." ”
This is really in line with Liming's extreme self-centered style, if he dies, he will drag everyone around him to die together, and if he can't die, he can't let anyone other than him die.
"But you don't need to worry about him blowing himself up." The siren said, "Your true spirit power can dispel 'pollution'. As long as he made sure that it was Ling's true spirit power that killed him, his self-explosion would only be a particularly powerful explosion. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was finally movement on the other side.
Slowly getting up from the ground, she patted the dust off the hem of her skirt, then walked up to me and whispered, "I've calmed down." ”
"It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer." I say.
She shook her head, "Time is of the essence, let's discuss the future policy quickly." ”
“…… Good. I nodded first, and then said, "I have a move in my hand that is enough to defeat Dawn and Fazheng, but it will be sealed by Fazheng during the battle, is there any way you can help me solve this problem?" ”
"What move?" She asked.
I told her about my previous battles with Dawn and Fazheng.
"I see, high-frequency continuous firing of Daogang...... If it can be used, it will indeed be enough to make a final decision at the same time. She seemed to have really recovered, and thought about it seriously, "You just said that you sensed your intention in advance for some reason?" ”
"Yes." I said, "I'm very hidden in battle, and I can't usually be noticed so easily." ”
"That's probably not 'awareness,' it's just 'observation.'" She said, "The first time you used your soul-burning move on me, you must have used that hidden ability. At that time, I was able to avoid your surprise attack not because I sensed your threat with my senses, but because I judged that you had a nirvana to turn defeat into victory based on years of experience. It is your position and posture, as well as the look in your eyes, that betrays your intentions. ”
"Is that all it like?" I didn't expect the truth to be that simple.
"It's a gap in skill and experience. You rely too much on your own awareness. I can see that you have a specialized awareness of combat, but even so, you have to master your own rules and accumulate your experience based on that. "Our main weapons are all great axes, and you can learn my memory and use my rules in the future." ”
"Taught." I said, "So, in your opinion, how should we fight after that?" ”
Hearing this, she thought for a moment, and then said, "...... Let's run away. ”
"Escape?" I asked rhetorically.
"There's no way I can kill Dawn as an undead man on my own, and even if I cooperate with you to kill Dawn, I won't be able to take you with him to move beyond the fog when he explodes." She said, "So, let's run away together." ”
"I refuse." Without hesitation, I said, "I will not let Dawn's plan succeed, even if I will fall under Dawn's self-explosion in the end, I will fight to the end." ”
She tried to persuade me again, but I had already made up my mind.
Seeing that I didn't back down in the slightest, she could only give up, and then fell silent. She must have understood from the beginning that there was no way I could escape. I figured that if she really didn't want to fight Dawn and Fazheng again, then I could go alone. Rather, I was prepared for this kind of realization to enter this fog.
But before I could say it, she spoke, "I see...... So, let's fight together. ”
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"I thought of a way to deal with Dawn blowing himself up." She looked at me, "I remember, your weapon can be transformed into a very strong giant shield. And from what I've observed, your weapon will become more powerful when you enter the Super Main Form, enough to withstand all of your strength. ”
"Yes." I nodded.
"I'll find a way to further strengthen my sealing spell and hold him a little longer when Dawn dies." "Take advantage of this gap and get a long enough distance from the center of the explosion, preferably retreat to the edge of the foggy area, and then use your giant shield to defend against the blast's fire, so we should survive," she said. ”
