Due to physical factors, even if his mental state is temporarily restored to a relatively normal state, he will sooner or later fall back to his original state.
The "commandments" cannot save the dead, just like Aponia was unable to change the fate she had foreseen.
"Boss Kevin...is everything okay now?" Paddy approached cautiously and asked softly.
Although they had only been together for a few days, the image of her boss Kevin as being almost omnipotent had already been deeply rooted in Paddo's heart. If it was a little more serious, she might have swelled up like a pufferfish.
However, this time, the omnipotent Kevin in her eyes shook his head regretfully: "Unfortunately, his obsession is too deep. Almost at the moment of being affected by the rift, he completely fell into the 'devil'... There is no way I can save him."
Even Kevin, who has been entrusted with the wishes of countless people more than once, is essentially just an ordinary person, not an omnipotent god.
According to Xianzhou, being possessed by the devil through thoughts... the stronger the grief and obsession, the more likely it is that a person will be completely dragged into the bottomless abyss at this time. It is even a mental state that Kevin now thinks is completely irreversible.
That is to say, his memory and spirit have been shattered into pieces. How can a broken mirror be put back together?
The elixir that Xiao Longnu mentioned before, which can block emotions and physically cut off a person's sexual desire - that might actually be the best way to prevent and treat the evil spirit body.
Even if his state of mind was barely restored to lucidity under the restraint of the "Precepts", at this moment he probably couldn't remember who he was, why he was here, and what his purpose was.
Seeing the old man staring blankly at the flower bud not far away, Paduo obviously felt a little bit sorry for him. But just when she was about to go forward and try to say something to him, something unexpected happened suddenly -
Rumble——!
The entire hall... no, it should be said that the entire cave seemed to tremble suddenly. At the same time, the roots in the hall kept surging, as if brewing something terrifying.
Next, the golden buds in the hall...they bloomed.
Chapter 117: The Dead Look Up at Jianmu
Even though he was in the hall and had no idea what was happening outside, Kevin could clearly guess what was happening by looking at the flower buds that were inexplicably blooming.
It seems that the implementation of the Medicine King's secret plan was extremely successful at this time. Jianmu, which was dead in everyone's eyes, has revived. Otherwise, the flowers here would not suddenly bloom and bear fruit.
Looking at these charming yet deadly flowers, the dazed expression on the old man's face suddenly regained some spirit - he walked out of the restraints that Kevin had already freed him from, dragging his strange body covered with branches and twigs step by step towards the blooming flowers.
With every step he took, the branches on his body would fall off in large pieces...until he finally reached the flower nearest to him, and his posture had completely returned to its unsightly human form.
He sluggishly reached his palm into the pistil that was surrounded by golden light and could not see the specific things, and then picked out a golden fruit from it. It was not very big, but it seemed heavy in the old man's hand.
Perhaps at this moment, he himself didn't know what he was doing, but there was a will that supported this broken body to stand in front of the flower and hold the Jianmu fruit in his hand.
"This is the fruit of Jianmu... Is it something that can heal all those children?"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Paduo really didn't know what to say... Even though she had only known the other person for less than a few hours, and had not even been in the Immortal Boat for a day, the things that appeared before her completely overturned her long-held ideas.
"Legend has it that after swallowing the fruit of Jianmu, not only can one transform one's body into an immortal species, but one can even gain miraculous powers like an immortal. I don't know if it's true or false?" Qingque's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear.
She herself would definitely not touch this thing, not to mention that it was just a legend. Even if it was true, she was an immortal and was over 200 years old. Why should she think so much about it?
As for the so-called magical skills...Miss Qingque is well aware that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If she really gains some powerful power, she will probably be dragged to a more dangerous place to do hard labor!
"Oh right! Jianmu's fruit! If it's so powerful... Boss Kevin, it can definitely cure this old man, right?"
Paddo immediately turned her head and looked at Kevin beside her, her eyes full of hope.
Even though she may know a lot of things, and even has experience and talent in business...but Padre is still that innocent child from beginning to end, and her simple ideas have not changed at all.
But facing her evil eyes, Kevin could only lower his head and shake it silently.
"It's no use, Paddo, he's dead."
After all, that body was already exhausted, and the spirit was gradually entering the end of the devil's Yin - but Kevin directly interrupted the process of being transformed by Jianmu... Being able to perform such a series of actions again can already be called a miracle.
"Nonsense! Boss Kevin, he is clearly still standing there, his eyes are still open, how could he be dead?"
Paddo rudely rejected Kevin's conclusion, then ran forward regardless of the danger. Just as she put her hand on the old man's shoulder and wanted to say something, her face suddenly froze.
"So... so hard?"
She pulled her hand back blankly, staring blankly at the things left on it...it wasn't even blood from a wound, but just pieces of dry sawdust.
Even though the branches seemed to be completely detached from the body, the old man's body had already been completely transformed. Except for the head that was forcibly cut off by Kevin, the rest of the body could be called a vegetable.
But at least, he can still be called a human being, right?
"How could it be, Boss Kevin, how could it be..."
How could Pado accept the fact that the old grandfather who was still smiling at her just a few minutes ago died in front of her eyes the next moment?
Even though she had traveled in the universe for several years, she had never seen anyone die little by little in front of her?
"If the normal lifespan of the fox people is really only 300 years, then he can be considered the longest-lived one..." At the moment of freezing the other party, Kevin could clearly feel that the other party's lifespan was definitely more than 300 years, but his condition was so uncharacteristically old. It seemed that the Medicine King had already used some other means.
"If you really want to do something, do you have to watch the fruit in his hand disappear?"
This so-called Jianmu fruit has no appeal to Kevin at all, but this does not prevent him from feeling that the originally pure energy in it is dissipating at an extremely fast speed after leaving the mother body.
"Yes, yes...at least we have to cure those children!"
After Kevin's reminder, Padu, who was gradually falling into a state of emptiness, immediately realized what she should do now. She hurriedly held the fruit in the old man's hand, and then turned her attention to other blooming flowers.
She even called Xing and Qingque to help. Finally, after picking all the flowers in the hall, the group, led by Padu, ran to a sheltered door in the hall - presumably the children were also hidden in a relatively safe place.
But Kevin didn't want to take care of the child. He waved his hand lightly in front of him, and the old man who had passed away was sealed in the ice coffin. Even his eyebrows were relaxed, and he looked like a person who was sent to the coffin to rest his soul after his death.
After doing all this, Kevin walked out of the hall, looked up at the sky which was almost completely obscured by dense roots, and frowned slightly.
"...This is really annoying."
boom----!
Almost in the next instant, the roots of the Jianmu tree that spread for nearly ten thousand meters were uprooted with a loud bang, leaving no trace at all, without even a piece of wood chip left. They disappeared without a trace under the impact of the huge energy.
After doing all this, Kevin still did not move, but just stared at the distant horizon quietly.
There, the Jianmu tree that was supposed to be cut off has stretched out long branches again, looking brilliant and shining, reaching up to the sky...
Chapter 118 He can kill me, Kafka.
Combined with the sudden shaking of the earth just now and the fruits grown on the roots, and then seeing the Jianmu tree regained its vitality in front of us, it is natural to have a feeling of "as expected".
It was just a little surprising that Kevin originally thought that Jianmu was no more than a few thousand meters in size, but what actually appeared before Kevin was a gigantic plant that seemed to be tens of thousands of meters high, with branches covering the sky.
There is a clear difference between the new buds on the top and the half-dead branches below. The countless branches are like lines in an ink painting, which fully lives up to the name of "Jianmu Shengfa".
If nothing unexpected happens, it is the power of the star core that brings Jianmu, which has long been dead in everyone's eyes, back to life, and even its original form has undergone a considerable change.
In order to make the star core that just exploded not long ago achieve such an effect, it goes without saying that the location of the star core is most likely at the roots under Jianmu.
Kevin really couldn't understand why such a powerful immortal boat could be invaded to this extent...it didn't seem that the secret teachings of the King of Medicine had such ability.
Or the various negative influences have caused the Immortal Boat to be completely ill, and at this moment it is not as strong as it appears.
Or... the real mastermind behind this disaster is far more than just a secret of the King of Medicine...
"Xianzhou hid this place really well. If you hadn't made such a big noise just now, I wouldn't have been able to find it. Thank you very much." Suddenly, an inexplicable female voice reached Kevin's ears.
"...Kafka?"
A black coat, a white shirt, purple socks, and a pair of iconic sunglasses on her head... This is how the bounty orders from the "Company" and "Rov" describe the star core hunter named Kafka, and she has almost never changed her most classic outfit.
In fact, he had to admit that the other person exuded a mature and dangerous aura almost all the time, so much so that Kevin couldn't help but become alert subconsciously.
Haha, maybe the grown-up Alicia would like to make friends with girls like this?
However, the noise Kevin had just made was indeed quite loud. As another different dimension, the Rift had the function of isolating the inside and the outside, but the power Kevin had just used had forcibly blasted open this restriction.
It is also possible that Pado's performance just now really affected him...
Before Kevin could calm down his strange emotions, the star core hunter on the opposite side began to greet him: "Mr. Kevin, right?"
"Silver Wolf told me about you not long ago. She has always been confident in her gaming skills. The blow she received from you last time was not small at all. She even said that she must get back at you... This makes me curious about you."
"Blade, can you see anything?"
Kafka suddenly turned her head to look at her companion who was a little taller and more handsome than her, and asked.
Although Kevin didn't know much about that, the outfit of this star core hunter called Blade clearly fits the characteristics of the immortal boat. And it also makes people feel like a kind of... dress specially used for attending funerals?
Compared to Kafka, the Blade with the scabbard seemed to have no special interest in Kevin, but he still replied very accurately: "Let me put it this way, Kafka, he can kill me."
This description, which sounded strange no matter how you looked at it, seemed quite normal to Kafka. She not only nodded in agreement, but also asked Kevin with interest, "Elliot said that the universe is actually like a cube with countless faces."
"In an almost infinite amount of time and an almost infinite amount of space, we are all in the same place at the same time. This is what fate is. While it creates miracles, it also makes you think it is just a coincidence."
"Don't you think this is amazing?"
There are often some philosophers and poets who regard this place as sublimation - they believe that since the universe is vast and boundless, and life is countless, then it is an extremely difficult thing for two people to sit together and talk.
But for Kevin...
"Unfortunately, I never believe in miracles."
If any coincidence can be explained in this way, then don't those innocent people who suffer inexplicable disasters also have to be classified in this way?
"I see, so you are a very idealistic type... I thought all the believers of 'Cunhu' would be very fanatical about some belief." Kafka spread out her palms.
It's a pity that even though everyone thinks so, Kevin has never sought even the slightest bit of power from "Cunhu" so far.
Seeing Kevin remained indifferent, Kafka finally sighed and said her true purpose: "Okay, okay... Actually, I just came to talk to Xing about something. You can't even refuse to let me meet her, right?"
Maybe their companion who could see the future had seen something, or maybe it was the strength Kevin had shown before the Silver Wolf that played a role. In short, these notorious star core hunters in the galaxy not only did not attack and hurt people, but also negotiated conditions with Kevin in a very kind manner.
"..."
"These things have nothing to do with me."
But even so, it is impossible for Kevin to push the silly Xing over without even knowing whether these people are enemies or friends.
But before he could open his mouth, Padu's anxious voice suddenly came from the hall behind him: "Boss Kevin... Boss Kevin! What happened outside? Why was there such a loud noise just now!"
Padu hurriedly ran out of the door. Just after taking two breaths, she suddenly saw Kafka and the other person not far away. She raised her head and looked as if she had seen a ghost: "This, this, this... two star core hunters... why are they here!"
There are only five Star Core Hunters on the wanted list. Excluding the one who has never appeared, haven't three of them already appeared on the Immortal Boat?
It’s over, it’s over. Is this huge immortal boat really going to sink?
For Paddo, who is no different from a transparent background in the universe, these star core hunters who offer billions of bounties at every turn are completely different from her species.
What else can she do? A courier who delivers takeout in a small town every day suddenly meets a mercenary who lives on the edge of a knife. What else can she do?
Chapter 119 The Future He Foresaw
Just a few seconds after Paduo ran out, Xing followed her out of the door. However, the expression on the star core hunter's face was completely different from Paduo's.
"Why... is it you?"
That complicated look in her eyes, if you know what she is looking at, you might think she is looking at some Star Wars wanted criminal, but if you don’t know what she is looking at, you might think she is looking at her ex-girlfriend whom she still has feelings for!
So naturally, as a temporary good friend, Padu could not accept the scene before her at all -
"No, you...you really know each other?!"
Padu looked at Xing and then at Kafka, her eyes constantly moving between the two of them, but she could never come to a conclusion to find a little comfort for herself.
Didn't we agree to be undercover together? How did you quietly establish a good relationship with the villain?
"Honestly, I don't know... I don't have any previous memories, but San Yue Qi said that the last person they met before they found me was her..."
When she said these words, Xing's eyes were of course somewhat complicated. After all, she really didn't know what the relationship between her and the other party was.
It is said that even if the brain has completely lost its memory, you will still subconsciously feel familiar emotions when you see those people you once knew very well... But what if that obsession is not a good one, and deep-rooted hatred is actually possible, right?
If someone whom you clearly hate pretends to be unusually close to you after you lose your memory...it's scary just to think about it.
But Xing felt that it was absolutely impossible for her and the other party to have that kind of relationship. She just had this intuition.
"Hi Star."
After finally meeting the person she wanted to meet, Kafka seemed to lose her talkativeness for a moment, but then she started to explain for the other party: "I didn't talk to you on the train, because I knew that here, you and I would have the opportunity to talk face to face. So I thought, why not save everything until now? You seem to have a lot of things to ask me."
"Fortunately, Elio didn't encounter the same situation as just now... Otherwise, if you saw his miserable appearance, I would really feel a little uncomfortable."
