The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

The golden light is nothing but the [holy] that protects Li Nali in the crystal.

The sudden change made everyone run towards Li Nali regardless of Q Zhu who fell into the sea.

The intense light made it difficult for everyone to approach for a while, but soon, the beam of light burst out from the crystal became thinner and thinner.

Like a rapidly melting ice cube, the huge crystal slowly became thinner, and then Li Nali, who was lying in it without knowing her life or death, leaked out.

No... It's not that life and death are unknown, Li Nali is still alive.

Snow clearly watched the other person's eyelashes tremble, and then his lips slowly moved.

"Li Nali!!!"

Snow rushed over at the fastest speed, then hugged her, and at the same time covered her with his coat.

"Snow?"

As if she had just been awakened, Li Nali slowly raised her head, and her confused eyes became clear.

"Great, so you are here! So... am I still in this world!!!"

Two lines of tears flowed down the corners of each other's eyes. I don't know whether it was because of joy or fear—after facing the pressure of death.

"Idiot, since you have already seen me, how can there be a second answer to this kind of question?"

Snow couldn't help but hugged him fiercely.

"Welcome back, Li Nali!!!"

"Ok!"

Sitting on the deck, Li Nali looked around at the people around her, sniffed and smiled in relief.

She did it successfully, she destroyed that powerful Level 3 demon, and protected everyone as she wished.

Phyllis and Belin stood far behind, and after meeting her eyes, they nodded with friendly smiles.

Miss Anita was also sitting on the deck, and next to her were the sailors gathered together, as well as her personal bodyguard, but compared to before, the crew members also lacked a lot of familiar faces.

The old man and the rabbi stood there side by side. Although they looked a bit miserable on the outside, their overall spirit was not bad.

Both Miranda and Kulouli had big dark circles under their eyes, and their skin looked too pale...

It turns out that everyone...is still there.

"Congratulations... It's great that Miss Li Nali is fine."

At some point, Assistant Q climbed onto the boat from the sea, and congratulated everyone with a resentful tone!

When she was kicked off the boat by [Holy] just now, no one cared about her, it's so pitiful.

Li Nali saw a strange demon suddenly climbed up on the stern of the boat, and her face couldn't help becoming tense again.

But then, Snow patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

"It's okay, although you may not believe it when you say it, this guy is really one of our own."

"So... ah!

So, are we going to arrive in Japan soon? "

Li Nali turned her gaze away from Assistant Q, and saw that everyone seemed to be surprised, so she didn't continue to ask questions.

"Yes, it will be here soon. This guy is a liaison sent by Marshal Kulos. He is a transformed demon, and he can still be trusted for the time being."

Snow pointed to the demon who was posing behind him, and specifically mentioned the man Kuros to dispel Li Nali's doubts.

"Hi, my name is Assistant Q!"

The distinctive demon waved his hand as a greeting.

"Hello……"

Originally, Li Nali wanted to learn more about the current situation, but Snow suddenly stood up, picked her up, and interrupted what she wanted to say.

"Eh?"

Snow's sudden behavior immediately made the girl flush.

"Don't move around, didn't you notice it yourself?"

Snow's tone sounded very serious, as if he had discovered something serious.

"You...you can't walk anymore, can you?"

After hearing what the other party said, Li Nali looked at her legs belatedly.

I don't know when, the legs where the [Black Boots] was originally equipped, are now covered by dense black ring-shaped textures.

It seems to give people an uncomfortable feeling.

At the same time, Li Nali subconsciously wanted to move her legs, but found that she had completely lost consciousness there.

"My legs...are not working."

"I'm afraid this is the sequelae of forced liberation... You must have used power that doesn't belong to you to become like this.

It is quite dangerous to start the second liberation without authorization when your synchronization rate does not exceed 100%. "

Snow's tone was very serious, and at the same time, there was a lot of joy in his voice.

It is not unheard of to forcibly activate the second liberation exorcist in the history of the church. On the contrary, this is still a relatively common thing.

After all, in war, exorcists often encounter situations that require unscrupulous means in exchange for power.

However, the price is the price, which is unavoidable, and it is not uncommon for exorcists to die because of the forced start of the second liberation.

Rather, Li Nali's current situation is already very lucky.

It's just that the legs have lost their mobility.

"Well! In that case..."

"I know, I'm not blaming you..."

Snow paused for a moment, and then continued to speak softly. Even he himself didn't realize that this was the first time he showed such a gentle look.

"After entering Japan, there are still more difficulties waiting for us, but we can choose whether to advance or not.

Li Nali, you better stop here, there are other people, the rabbi, the old man...you are also seriously injured..."

Snow turned his head to look at the two mummies wrapped in bandages.

He hoped that everyone could turn around. After all, in their current state, even if they successfully arrived in Japan, it would be a very dangerous thing.

Although everyone has a firm will, many situations cannot be resolved by relying on will.

And now everyone's situation is likely to drag Kuros back.

Even if they have the firm determination that Kulos said, the situation there is undoubtedly a dead end for them now.

According to Assistant Q, Level 3 has already built a base camp there, and enemies of this level are just Chinese cabbages that can be seen everywhere.

Cannon fodder at Level 1 doesn't have any soil for survival at all.

With the current state of the crowd, Snow could not just watch everyone jump into the fire pit.

Li Nali suddenly became silent, and she also knew that her current situation was very difficult.

Although she wanted to refute Snow, from a rational point of view, the other party's choice was undoubtedly correct.

"That's not right. Snow!"

The rabbi said with a smile, but his expression was unusually firm.

"Of course we know what lies ahead, but this is the fate of an exorcist, we cannot escape it, let alone refuse to bear it.

If we turn back here, wouldn't it mean that we have trampled on the life that was paid for us along the way? "

Although everyone felt that they were going to be exhausted, at this time they all knew that they must not turn back.

Once they really look back, they will never be able to face themselves in the future, let alone those supporters who have gone forward and died for them.

"But Miranda..."

This time, Miranda looked like she was about to lose her strength. If Snow read it correctly, the other party should have a fever.

[Holy] The excessive overdraft of power has radiated to her physical health, and soon, her time reversal field will be forcibly released due to the collapse of her body.

"It's okay, Mr. Exorcist, anyway, our fate has already been doomed. In this case, we can still accompany you on the last journey."

At this time, an uncle-like sailor suddenly spoke. He touched his nose and looked at Miranda with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Exorcist, can you please hold on for another hour?
Everyone... also wants to say goodbye to each other. "

Miranda stared at her red eyes and nodded in pain, as if apologizing for her powerlessness.

"I... will not leave either, Snow, since everyone has gone, why leave me alone?"

Li Nali took a deep breath, then looked firmly into Snow's eyes and said firmly.

Since the road ahead is already like an abyss, why not let her step into it with everyone.

After all...everyone is her world and the meaning of her existence. If she is the only one left in this world, then what's the point of living alone?

But Snow still seemed to be planning to stick to his opinion, and refused to back down to confront Li Nali.

In any case, he also wanted the girl to leave here.

After falling into a long silence, Phyllis suddenly quietly appeared behind Snow and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

Then he gave a thumbs up to the crew members who had already left the deck and entered the cabin.

"Everyone has to prepare and make their own farewells."

I don't know when it started, the sound of laughter and laughter began to appear in the cabin below, and the sailors started a carnival below.

"Wow, it's amazing! Such a great ice ship is like a dream."

"Using the end in magic, can our experience also become a legend!"

"Hey! You bastard...where did you get the ale!"

Noisy voices came from below, as if there really was a tavern belonging to the sailors somewhere.

I don't know who it is, but they actually got a few drinks for everyone to drink to their heart's content.

This is the romance of men wandering in the sea, even if they know that they are going to face death, they have to face it with a smile.

Except for the sailors, everyone came to the deck and waited quietly, listening to the solemnity on the deck and the laughter in the cabin below, forming a sharp contrast.

"Everyone... If we don't insist on going out to sea like this, will we usher in a different situation!"

Li Nali muttered to herself, she seemed to feel guilty about this, if they could have contacted Snow earlier, they would not have let so many people sacrifice for them.

"Li Nali...it's not your fault."

Miss Anita came to her side and sat down gently. The people below the cabin were all old subordinates who had followed her for many years.

Each of them is a good man who used to be unrestrained in the sea, and the sea may be their best destination.

"Don't be sorry for them, don't be sad for them, this is their own choice, for them this is the most glorious moment of their life."

Anita quietly stared at the cabin that had begun to become silent. Inside, there were also many brave men who died instead of her, blocking the bullets from the devil for her.

If it weren't for the sailors who came and went, she might have become one of them.

So far, there are not many old subordinates who can still follow him.

The entire cabin below suddenly became silent, and sparse grunting sounds could be heard faintly.

"Miranda... Enough is enough, stop, everyone is ready."

Miss Anita smiled and looked at Miranda, who was leaning on Li Nali's shoulder, weeping hard, but there was an unconcealable sadness in her eyes.

This is everyone’s farewell signal to her. In the past, everyone on the ship would often get drunk after working hard during the day. This is the best way for them to release stress and return to themselves.

But today's drinks are obviously not enough for the group of sailors on the sea. Even so, everyone has chosen the most suitable way to the end.

"sorry Sorry……"

Perhaps in Miranda's eyes, this was another time she sent off her companions with her own hands. To the delicate Miranda, it seemed a bit cruel.

In the false grunts under the cabin, Miranda gently unlocked her ability, and countless times flew out from the disc on her wrist—that was the time that belonged to everyone in the past.

As they sank below the deck one after another, the snoring stopped quietly and turned into a dead silence.

Li Nali hugged Miranda gently, and after the other party cried out in pain, she quietly fell asleep.

"Let her rest for a while! Next, leave it to us!"

Phyllis brought a blanket, gently covered the opponent's body, and then signaled to the other search team members who had already prepared.

Everyone had already made all kinds of preparations, and with dozens of serious search team members filing in, the cabin below the deck became empty.

There were only wine glasses scattered all over the place and a few empty barrels.

"Contain everyone and send them home together. We will remember who they died for..."

The captain at the head ordered softly, and then took out the prepared wooden box, and put the piles of ashes on the ground into it...
