30. The oath of substitution

One person and one spirit, looking at each other for a long time in the dark corridor.

Li Nuo's brow went from frowning to slightly stretched, and it only took five minutes.

He thought of a way to transcend the soul of the original owner on the spot.

That is to carve a "resentment mark" on the other party, and see how effective this mark is, maybe it can just surpass the soul.

Li Nuo walked lightly and walked around the bound spirit, coming to the place where the black tornado disappeared.

Squatting down and groping for a few moments, Li Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the intact rune stick from the ground.

This thing is worthy of the alchemy prop of military specifications, and it actually "survived" from the storm of death...

Li Nuo took the rune stick and came to the binding spirit.

He took a deep breath and raised his arm, pointing the contact of the rune rod at the Spirit's chest.

Touching any part of a limb will cause damage to the opponent's "Soul Sacrifice" skill.

Only by using the contact points of the Rune Rod as a medium of contact can he avoid being affected by the "Soul Sacrifice" and at the same time carve the "Mark of Resentment".

The contact points slowly moved closer to the bound spirits, and finally on the surface of the green glowing spirits.

Judging by the tactile feel of the rune stick feedback... The spirit's body is similar to jelly, but it's a little elastic when poked...

Li Nuo steadied his mind, abandoned distracting thoughts, moved the touchpoints little by little, and began to portray the "mark of resentment".

In the midst of each stroke, Li Nuo could feel that his energy was draining.

The energy that had left him flowed down his arm to the rune stick and fell into the seal.

Just as Li Nuo was secretly guessing what effect this mark would have, the bound spirit suddenly fluttered forward a few centimeters.

The contact inadvertently pierced the Binding Spirit's body, bringing the soon-to-be-completed sigil to a standstill.

Li Nuo chuckled in his heart.

Before he could retract the rune stick, the Binding Spirit lunged straight at him.

Li Nuo immediately let go of the rune stick in his hand and retreated continuously, but the bound spirit did not want to let him go, and chased straight up.

Could it be that the act of portraying the mark was used as an offensive signal by the bound spirits? … Li Nuo's heart sank slightly, realizing that something was wrong with the situation.

He dodged left and right in the corridor, retreating quickly, the bound spirit always chasing after him.

Strangely, Li Nuo found that the flight speed of the bound spirit was not fast.

The opponent did not drive at full speed, rushing over like a mud truck with the accelerator pedaled to the bottom, but slowed down and chased the target in a relatively soft and slow attitude.

Li Nuo was puzzled, but he didn't stop.

Finally, he retreated all the way to the end of the tunnel and crashed into the stone wall that appeared out of thin air.

The bound spirit stopped in front of him.

Li Nuo swallowed his saliva and said:

"Brother, what are you going to do? If you want to beat me, you will beat me directly, don't look at me like this and don't speak... Listen to me, what happened between us was an accident..."

The binding spirit was silent, and instantly accelerated, burrowing into Li Nuo's body.

Li Nuo was caught off guard by the other party's actions.

His body froze suddenly, and he could only rely on the stone wall behind him to maintain his center of gravity.

This bound spirit really doesn't want to fight!

Li Nuo didn't feel the cold touch, and the hot pain at the soul level.

On the contrary, in front of his eyes, scenes of the past in the memory of the original owner began to emerge.

His father, Richard Jarvis, graduated from City College in Berwettin with a degree in business.

Her mother, Bargley, was a child of laundry workers who only became literate after knowing her father.

Since the year he stepped into the society, his father has entered the distribution company under the Sidon Industrial Group, starting from an ordinary salesman, and has always been diligent and sincere.

Mothers do odd jobs to support the family.

They are not qualified parents for the original owner.

They did not do justice when the original owner was treated unfairly, and they rarely bought birthday gifts for the original owner when they were children.

What happened to the original owner was fate.

When the original owner was born and grew up, it was the most difficult stage of the family.

Parents work day and night in order to earn family expenses, and they have to endure the PUA of their bosses.

The mother, on the other hand, is oppressed by her employer.

At the end of the day's work, the two were exhausted.

But the eldest son and the younger son made them very uncomfortable.

The eldest son mingles with the school students all day long, which seriously drains the patience of his parents.

And the youngest son, that is, the original owner himself, because he had just been born, did not understand the distress of adults, and made trouble for his parents with babbling noises and clumsy hands and feet all day long.

This situation continued until the birth of the youngest daughter.

At that time, my father became a supervisor-level figure, and with a good salary, my mother no longer had to go out to do odd jobs.

The youngest daughter became the object of the most love of the two.

As the original owner of the second child of the two, he is a person who has not been loved since he was a child, and he needs to bear the pressure of life alone.

So, did the original owner's resentment come from his parents?

Is he jealous of his sister?

Li Nuo's heart was touched.

He sensed the original owner's thoughts, and muttered to himself in his heart:

"No, I can feel that you don't resent your parents.

"Reading history makes one wise.

"Your hobbies and professional knowledge allow you to look at what happens to you in a more objective and tolerant way than ordinary people.

"In fact, when you grow up, you can already understand the bitterness of your parents. You forgave them. In time, you have children of your own, and you will never let what happened to you happen to your children repeat itself. This is the progress of history, the experience and lessons you have learned from history..."

Li Nuo sighed:

"So where does your resentment come from? …”

A picture came to mind, a sign, a large logo carved into the exterior wall of a building.

The appearance of the logo is a beaker and an alcohol stove made of letters, which are derived from the word "Sidon".

Leno knew the answer.

The original owner resents the Sidon group.

The original owner's parents and siblings died tragically in a car accident.

Not only did the Siton Group not express any regret for its employees, but it also used the distribution agreement as an excuse to transfer the debt to the original owner through the operation of the legal department.

The Sidon Syndicate took all the property left to him by his parents and turned him into a criminal army.

If you want to say who is the most unforgivable existence for the original owner, it must be the Sidon Group.

But...

Isn't it a bit overwhelming to fight a behemoth of this scale on your own...

Li Nuo sighed softly:

β€œβ€¦ If you're trying to shake the foundations of the Seaton Group... All I can say is that I will do my best in my lifetime..."

Without waiting for Li Nuo to finish speaking, the memory picture suddenly changed, and the image of a middle-aged woman occupied Li Nuo's mind.

The woman was talking to the original owner's father.

The conversation took place at his father's house.

The original owner, the original owner's mother, and the original owner's brothers and sisters were all present.

The memory screen starts playing.

In the beginning, the woman and the original owner's family talked and laughed.

She is the boss of the original owner's father, and this visit is to send a promotion letter to the original owner's father.

It was a great thing to do.

But the picture turned, and after a pleasant lunch, the original owner was reading in his study.

The original owner inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scene outside the window, and saw the cold face of the female supervisor when she looked at her mansion...

Due to the difference in light and darkness inside and outside the house, the original owner saw all the expressions of the female supervisor, but the other party failed to find the gaze from the inside of the window.

The original owner was distressed and uneasy because of the performance of the female supervisor.

The memory screen is suspended at this moment.

Li Nuo immediately understood what the original owner meant.

The other party was suspicious of her father's female supervisor and the accident and reasonableness.

A fluttering and flickering weak voice sounded in Li Nuo's mind, so faint, so faint, as if it would dissipate at any time:

β€œβ€¦ Help me investigate... The truth about the car accident... Please... Let the wicked be punished... Let the good people sleep in peace.

β€œβ€¦ I'm leaving, stranger.

β€œβ€¦ We're going to say goodbye forever.

β€œβ€¦ I don't know who you are.

β€œβ€¦ I don't know why you can occupy my body.

β€œβ€¦ As long as you agree to my request, I am willing to give you my body...

"Please... Investigate the truth and let my family rest in peace... Let me... Rest... I will bless you..."

The binding spirit floated out of Li Nuo's body, and it had already become an infinitely close to transparent state.

Li Nuo couldn't help but reach forward and hold it together with the other party's spirit hand:

"Good! I promise you. There is revenge, there is revenge. If someone had orchestrated your misery, I would have made them pay with blood! ”

The scarlet light in the Bound Spirit's eyes quickly faded, and a clear gaze followed.

He moved Linuo's right hand to his chest and placed it on the rune stick.

Li Nuo was stunned for a while, subconsciously held the rune stick, and completed the last stroke of the "Resentment Mark".

For a moment, a gentle warm wind swept over the two of them, and the green light on the bound spirit's body was blown away by the warm wind that appeared out of thin air, revealing a pure and flawless transparent spirit.

He looked upwards, his gaze piercing the ceiling, as if he were seeing the end of the universe at infinite height.

He spread his arms and floated upward, completely disappearing in a bright ray of sunlight that fell from the sky.

The soul of the original owner rests in peace.

Leno didn't know what he saw when he looked up, or where the warm wind and sunlight came from.

But he was sure that the original owner had rested.

Li Nuo slowly exhaled the air that had been holding his chest for a long time, only to find that his whole body was soaked with sweat.

"It's thrilling.. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that the Mark of Resentment would allow me to talk to the Bound Spirits..."

Li Nuo shook his head and shook off the beads of sweat that hung on his brow bone.

A faint but hard to ignore colorful light flashed across the contact points of the rune stick.

"What is this?"

Li Nuo reached out and caught the light that was slipping from the contacts.

There was a sensation of touching the ice water in his hand, as if a Xiaoice had melted in the palm of his hand.

The icy "ice water" melted into his skin.

System messages surged through his mind.
