"I know you're worried about me, but that's okay, I know my state best, I'm actually fine."

Lao Cao raised his voice, looking very relaxed and pleasant.

"I've never hurt anyone. As you know, the 'Blood Ritual' can also achieve the purpose I want, but that method is too cruel and bloody, and I, as a member of the Quiet Society, cannot take the initiative to do the kind of thing that harms ordinary people.

So, I just built a 'new' world for myself, a world with Xiaoli and the children. I really, really miss them."

Lao Cao's voice gradually weakened.

"Chang'an, do you remember? When I first became a spirit master, I didn't know much about the attributes of spirit beasts, but I gave you an example, and I told you little by little. ”

"Lao He, although we usually quarrel constantly, you and I both know that this has become our habit and a way for us to establish bonds with each other."

"Team Fish, you are very young and very capable, you became the vice-captain, you became the acting captain, I first proposed it to the captain, do you remember?"

"Bamboo, have you run out of snacks in the drawer? I haven't been back for a long time recently, and I forgot to make it up for you, so I'll make it up to you right away when I'm done with this paragraph."

As he spoke, he pleaded again:

"Please, my requirements are really not high, I just want to, I just want to have Xiaoli and the children for a while longer. I promise that I will never hurt anyone, and I will never do anything that violates the rules of the Quiet Society, so please go back, go back! ”

Bai Zhu's tears slipped down like pearls on a broken line.

Her body trembled slightly, and she almost fell, but Lao He clung to it.

pounced on Lao He's chest, and tears instantly soaked his clothes.

Ran Swordfish slowly closed his eyes, moved his lips, and finally asked:

"Lao Cao, do you really know what you're doing?"

"Clear! I'm well aware! ”

Lao Cao almost rushed to answer, and a strange madness appeared on his face.

"You know what?" Boundary Analysis Red Pupil'! As long as I hold the 'Red Pupil', I will keep thinking of Xiaoli and the children's smiles, and they keep saying in my ear that they miss me.

The alternation of red moons, which you are afraid of every time, is actually the warmest and most desirable time for me, because then I can see them again.

This time, this time I really couldn't help it, I secretly made a replica of the 'Boundary Analysis Red Pupil' in advance, and I dropped the bag before you put it back in the equipment room.

But I promise! I didn't really want to be greedy, I just wanted to, just wanted to see them more."

Li Changan gritted his teeth, and the hand holding Xiao Phantom involuntarily tightened.

The little guy was a little painful to be hugged by him, but he endured it silently and did not make a sound.

It can feel that Li Changan's heart is like a knife.

"Lao Cao, this is all false."

"Fake? Fake? Fake."

Lao Cao kept chattering, his face gradually became crazy, and shouted:

"Nope! It's not fake, it's real! It's all real! Chang'an, let me tell you, the end of 'knowledge' is omniscience! It's almighty! When I see it, I will! As long as I use the power of the 'Boundary Analysis Red Pupil', I can concretize Xiaoli and them, and I can make them appear in my world again!" ”

As he continued to roar, more and more white threads spurted out of his mouth, and the room was filled with more and more filling.

Lao Cao's body, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, became thin and weak.

But he didn't know it.

"Okay, okay Lao Cao, I know, you can do it, you can do it." Li Changan hurriedly appeased.

He's going to make a final attempt.

He felt that Lao Cao still had a chance.

No.

There must still be a chance!

"Lao Cao, Lao Cao! You listen to me, you listen to me! ”

Li Changan shouted:

"'Ritual of Blood'!" The Blood Ritual is truly revital! Do you remember what I told you? The owner of the diary succeeded, and Xiaowen's bones were not found! It means that it works, you can too, and you can do it too! Together, I'll help you, I'll remember the ritual drawing of the 'Blood Ritual', and we'll help you resurrect your wife and children together, okay? ”

As he spoke, Lao He's eyes widened and he looked at Li Changan in disbelief.

What is he going to do?!

Crazy?

But when Lao He wanted to say something, he was stopped by Ran Jianyu with his eyes.

She watched deeply as Li Changan gradually approached Lao Cao's back.

Pull Lao Cao out of the complicated information of the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil" first, so that there is a chance to save him.

"But so much blood"

Sure enough, Lao Cao hesitated to speak.

The red eyes that were bound to the Seven Star Butterfly began to tremble slightly.

"It's okay, it's okay Lao Cao, we will have to deal with a lot of bad guys, a lot of evil spirit beasts, we can use theirs, use theirs, it's okay Lao Cao."

Li Changan gradually approached, but the little illusion in his arms became extremely vigilant.

"Really, really?" Lao Cao muttered.

"Really! It's true! ”

Li Changan said firmly:

"Lao Cao, open your eyes, open your eyes and take a look."

Hearing this, Lao Cao struggled extremely much, and the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil" also began to shake violently.

Suddenly.

Lao Cao's closed eyes trembled slightly, and a cloudy, confused, and longing gaze slowly opened.

He stared blankly at the scene in the room.

Lao Cao seems to have finally come to his senses.

After being silent for a long time, he looked at Li Changan who was close in front of him, revealing a touch of bitterness.

"It turns out that this is the truth."

"Lao Cao, there is still a chance, we still have a chance, come with me and give me your damn hand!"

Li Changan almost roared and stretched out his hand to him.

Looking at the slightly trembling hand, Lao Cao was stunned again.

Immediately, he showed a flattering, scared, and timid smile, and his body slowly retreated under the pull of the silk thread.

"No, Chang'an, no. I don't need that much, I just need to be able to see them now. Please, give me three months, just three months, and then I will never think of them again! ”

Li Changan, who stretched out his hand, was silent.

The three Ran Swordfish behind him were also silent.

Sure enough, is it already too late?

Puff ——!!

Suddenly.

In Lao Cao's bony body, behind his back, a pair of colorful wings pierced the skin, broke free from the shackles of the silk threads around him, and rolled up gusts of wind.

Trying to fly towards the window.

On the other side, the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil", which controls the seven-star spotted butterfly, also tried to leave.

The next second.

A black shadow appeared behind Lao Cao, and the dark colors were staggered, and they disappeared in a flash.

Swish!!

Xiao Phantom's face was complicated, but his claws still tore apart one of Lao Cao's wings mercilessly.

"Ah!!h

The pain-biting old Cao roared, and his sharp screams were like piercing insects.

All the glass products in the room exploded instantly.

Bang!!!

Behind Li Changan, a soul bullet shot out.

Ran Swordfish, who was holding the revolver, had a firm expression and sharp eyes.

Puff –

The bullet sank into the shoulder of Lao Cao, who was falling.

Slammed into the ground.

A dark green fishy liquid spilled from the wound and soaked in snow-white silk threads.

Lao Cao, who fell to the ground, seemed to have finally regained a trace of his sanity while suffering from pain.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Li Changan pleadingly.

The voice was hoarse and low:

"Chang'an, help me."

Li Changan's face turned hideous, picked up the revolver, and gritted his teeth.

For the first time, his fingers on the trigger for the first time were trembling, hesitating, and unbearable.

It was as if there was a mysterious force that made it difficult for him to pull and could not be pulled.

Lao Cao pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, revealing an extremely ugly but real smile.

"Don't feel sorry for me. I had a great time in my last moment, I was very happy and content. So, Chang'an, I beg you, help me once, for the first time and for the last time. ”

Bang!!

The silver soul-containing bullet pierced through Lao Cao's skull.

It's just that Lao Cao's current state can no longer be regarded as a human being, he moved his lips and said intermittently:

"To be, to be small-minded. Soul. Flesh and blood."

Gollum –

A bright red eyeball rolled to Lao Cao's side and rolled in front of Li Changan.

Li Changan looked at this familiar face, watching him gradually leave them, and an unreal illusion emerged in his heart.

He just felt more like he was in a nightmare, a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from.

"Check the room."

The sound of the swordfish was like a plugged nose.

Li Changan nodded silently.

With heavy, stiff steps, he walked to the room in the living room.

On the bed, Lao Cao's mother lay quietly on it, breathing steadily, her face healthy, the corners of her mouth turned up, as if she was dreaming a sweet dream, and she didn't realize what was happening outside.

In one corner of the room, there is also a pile of all kinds of food.

Even if Lao Cao was affected by the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil", he still did not forget to ensure his mother's safety and health.

Perhaps, for Lao Cao's mother, the whole family is harmonious in the dream.

Or perhaps, when Lao Cao's mother woke up, she forgot everything.

A few people briefly investigated, and there was nothing abnormal except for the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil".

Go back in the car.

Bai Zhu was too tired from crying, so he fell asleep in Ran Swordfish's arms.

This time, Li Changan was in charge of driving, and Ran Jianyu and He Yongnan both looked at each other with quiet expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Lao Cao." As soon as Li Changan spoke, he was stunned by his own voice for a few seconds, it was so hoarse and low, like a patient with a severe cold.

Cleared his throat.

"Lao Cao finally said, spirituality, soul, flesh and blood."

At the last moment, Lao Cao was not satisfied with the period of living with his "wife" and "children", but he did not forget them quietly.

"Lao Cao is reminding us." Lao He finally spoke.

Since he entered Lao Cao's house before, he has been holding back and not speaking.

Among them, he has the best relationship with Lao Cao.

Li Changan felt that he couldn't accept it, let alone him.

"'Boundary Analysis Red Pupil'."

Ran Swordfish also felt a slight change in his voice, and took a deep breath before speaking again:

"The 'Boundary Analysis Red Pupil' influenced Lao Cao, but it also allowed him to extract some useful information from the redundant information."

No one doubted Lao Cao's reminder, this was the final analysis he gave.

'Spiritual.' Wriggling tentacles', scattered spirituality beneath the giant cocoon. Flesh and blood.' Crimson Rose's 'Ritual of Blood'. The soul." Li Changan said slowly.

He let his mind spin in place of the constant image that kept coming to mind.

"Among the tasks that the fat man has done, there is a case called 'Old Grandma'. That old woman is a wandering 'soul'. Ran Swordfish added.

Li Changan has an impression.

It was the first task he was doing in the Tranquility Society, when he was on the task of the Helong Mine, the fat man was late because he wanted to help the "old grandmother" cross the road, and he almost caused Li Changan to die in the hands of Zheng Chunyue.

"It seems that the three major elements are there."

Lao He tugged at the corners of his mouth extremely reluctantly.

"If you count it this way, the soul lizard of Kexing Electronics Factory is also a soul."

Li Changan also thought of a task he had done.

Suddenly, he seemed to be electrocuted.

"'Wriggling tentacles', in a sense, is it a combination of spirituality, soul, and flesh and blood?"

It has a chaotic spirituality, a physical body, and even a certain sense of self, and a "living" characteristic.

Most importantly, it's just a part, a small part of a living thing.
