"It's all over now, I can finally get some rest."

As Lin Yu was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Is someone calling me? But I'm so tired, let me rest for a bit."

He still showed no intention of opening his eyes; he retained the last vestige of consciousness but chose to ignore it.

"Xiaoyu!!!"

The faint voice became clear this time. This call actually roused Lin Yu, who had been corrupted by the original sin of sloth, and he tried hard to open his eyes. He wanted to see with his own eyes who was calling his name!

Once again struggling against laziness, Lin Yu's body was less than two meters away from the sea surface. Just as he was about to fall into the sea, a fiery red figure flew over at high speed and caught him in its arms.

A familiar sensation came from his body, and Lin Yu, who had been consumed by sloth, miraculously opened his eyes. The familiar Flame-Haired Burning Eyes appeared before him.

The moment the innocent, serious face saw Lin Yu open his eyes, an amazing smile appeared on it.

Welcome home.

The familiar smiling face, the familiar feeling—Lin Yu's pitch-black eyes, which had become seemingly capable of devouring everything after absorbing the Flame of Sin, finally regained their luster…

[Sorry, saying I don't care about the results is a lie. Having 14,000 favorites but only so few subscriptions is a huge blow, so my updates have been quite infrequent lately. It's a vicious cycle: bad results lead to a lack of motivation to write, which in turn leads to even worse results. Well, to break this cycle, I'll start by resuming 4000 words a day tomorrow. I hope everyone can support the official version and support this starving nobody!] (To be continued.)

193. Resurrection! [Two-in-One]

"Am I back?"

Opening his eyes, this was the first thought that came to Lin Yu's mind. He remembered his experience after receiving the Flame of Sin very clearly. When his consciousness was devoured by the original sin of sloth, he finally reunited with that person.

"Shana!"

Lin Yu tried to sit up, but felt a sharp pain in his head, as if being pricked by needles. He had barely lifted his upper body when he fell back down.

"Xiaoyu! You're awake!"

A familiar voice sounded beside him, and Lin Yu turned his head to see the look of surprise on Xia Na's face by the bedside.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

Lin Yu smiled wryly. After calming down, he realized how foolish he had been. He had always known that the power of the Flame of Sin was a double-edged sword, but he had actually accepted it willingly.

Lin Yu was quite lucky. He met Shana when he was being corrupted by the original sin of sloth. At that time, his mind was on the verge of collapse and his thoughts were almost stopped. His only obsession was to return to Shana's side. It was under these circumstances that the two met and fulfilled Lin Yu's greatest obsession, thus freeing him from the influence of the Flame of Sin.

It's fair to say that if Shana had met Lin Yu earlier, he would have had a much harder time escaping the state of the Flame of Sin. His solo journey across half the globe was what allowed the Sin of Sloth to become dominant. However, if he had met Shana, the Sin of Sloth would have been suppressed again, and among the other sins, Lust would probably be the most likely to become dominant...

Lin Yu felt a pang of pain at the thought that he might be corrupted by the original sin of lust and force himself on her. His feelings for Shana had long surpassed those of an ordinary couple. If it weren't for Shana's loli appearance, which made it difficult for him to make a move, Lin Yu probably would have already taken advantage of her. However, being in a normal state and being blinded by lust were two different things. He was sure that if he really dared to force Shana, this loli would definitely carry the Ninja Palace and chase him for half the world before she would stop.

Don't doubt it, even in his Black Sin Flame state, Lin Yu is definitely no match for Shana. Just thinking about that miserable end makes Lin Yu shudder.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyu? Is something bothering you?"

When Lin Yu shuddered, Xia Na immediately panicked, thinking that he had left some hidden dangers after his rampage, and looked at him with a worried expression.

"N-nothing, but thank you so much, Shana. If you hadn't come to pick me up, I might have fallen into the sea and drowned."

Lin Yu was too ashamed to face Shana's worried gaze. If she knew that after their hard-won reunion, Lin Yu's mind was filled with all sorts of nonsense, Shana would probably draw her sword again.

"It's good that you're alright. Don't push yourself next time."

Shana breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't the kind of person who was good at understanding others, and she couldn't bring herself to comfort Lin Yu. So she could only show her concern for Lin Yu in her own way.

"Don't worry, it won't happen again."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Despite his casual tone, this incident was entirely due to his negligence. If he had guessed earlier that the bomb planted by Ann Rand was hidden in the Tina sisters' bodies, none of this would have happened.

"Let's put those aside for now, the most important thing is..."

Lin Yu looked at the little girl on his shoulder who looked like a doll. Gaia and Alaya hadn't made any moves when Lin Yu wasn't looking for them lately, just sitting quietly on Lin Yu's shoulder like real dolls. He was almost certain that the two little girls' consciousness had long since left him, but he had no idea what they were doing.

With just one glance, Shana knew what Lin Yu was thinking. At the same time, a glimmer of hope rose in her own heart. She knew a little about the abilities of these two. If it were them, there might really be hope to revive the Tina sisters!

"Gaia, Alaya, wake up!"

Lin Yu poked the two little ones with his fingers. They were so small that he didn't know how to call them if he didn't do that.

"Oh dear! I'm busy right now! What are you doing?"

Gaia was the first to start making a fuss. Her dull eyes instantly became lively. With a couple of flaps of her cicada-like wings, she flew to Lin Yu's side. Her little mouth was slightly pouting. Although she was very cute, Lin Yu had no mind to mess around with this little girl. Didn't you see that he even called her by her given name?

"What price would I have to pay if I wanted to resurrect a few people?"

Lin Yu didn't ask if it was possible to revive someone, but instead asked directly about the price that would have to be paid. He was afraid, afraid that even Gaia and Alaya would be powerless to help.

"The cost? They can't afford that!"

Gaia shrugged innocently, looking helpless. The answer he least wanted to hear made Lin Yu's breathing become heavy instantly. He wasn't afraid of heavy costs, but he was afraid of not even having the chance to pay them!

"They are the consciousness of the world; you've come to the wrong person if you're trying to resurrect people!"

Lin Yu didn't react for a moment, blinked stupidly, and then realized what Gaia meant. He almost cried because he was so stupid.

He didn't even understand the concept of responsibilities. Gaia and Alaya are like two completely unrelated departments in human society, or more specifically, like the power supply department and the water supply department. The mistake he just made was as stupid as going to the water bill payment counter to pay the electricity bill.

"Ye-chan..."

"Sure!"

On his shoulder, Alaya's eyes had regained their liveliness, and he winked at Lin Yu with a smile on his lips.

"Really? Is it really possible?"

Lin Yu excitedly cradles the little guy on his shoulder in his hands. He goes to great lengths to avoid hurting the little guy in his excitement. What if he gets too excited and the other party refuses to help him? Where would Lin Yu go to cry then?

"Don't worry, it's very easy if you want to revive the little guys who were blown up."

Alaya nodded affirmatively, seemingly quite satisfied with Lin Yu's attitude. Gaia, on the other hand, pouted and landed on Lin Yu's head. This stark difference in treatment seemed to displease the little girl. After sitting on Lin Yu's head, she began to pluck Lin Yu's hair. However, Lin Yu's attention was entirely focused on Alaya. Although it hurt a little, he was too lazy to care at this moment. In any case, even if his hair was plucked out, he could simply expend some of his existence power to recover.

"So, can we begin now?"

Lin Yu looked on with anticipation, his heart pounding.

"You didn't even ask about the cost? You're being way too trusting of us."

Alaya looked at Lin Yu with a half-smile. Having lived for countless years, she knew perfectly well how wary Lin Yu was of them when they first crossed over to this world, but she was too lazy to point it out.

"Ahem, as long as I can afford it, that's fine."

So much time has passed, and although he still doesn't know what these two little girls need him to do, one thing is certain: even if he doesn't want to, he absolutely cannot refuse. Schemes and such are completely meaningless to these two, so he agrees without hesitation.

"Well, I haven't decided on the price yet. I'll talk about it when I do."

Alaya raised her slender little hand, and a crisp snap of her fingers echoed in the room. Lin Yu suddenly felt his right eye become burning hot, and a faint mist escaped from his eye and then condensed into six shadows in front of him.

The six blurry figures gradually became clearer under Lin Yu's tense gaze, and Alaya's voice continued to ring out.

"Let me give you a heads-up: even I would find it difficult to resurrect someone. This time, it's all thanks to your wild idea of ​​using the Eye of Calamity to look back into the future. Heaven knows where you got such good luck, you actually managed to reverse their souls by accident. However, since they don't have bodies, they all ended up residing in your Eye of Calamity. It's a miracle to encounter such good luck even once. Don't expect to encounter it again next time."

The six shadows gradually solidified, while Alaya was giving Lin Yu a heads-up. Although Lin Yu was very concerned about Tina and the others' condition, he couldn't ignore Alaya's words.

"So don't even think about the idea that 'resurrection is a simple thing.' The conditions for resurrection are much more stringent than you think. This time, all I did was give them new bodies."

Alaya had already been very straightforward. If it weren't for her reminder, Lin Yu might have subconsciously ignored the threat of death. After all, a death that can be resurrected can definitely lower a person's vigilance without them even realizing it. Lin Yu nodded seriously, not believing that Alaya would lie to him about such a thing.

"what?"

Alaya suddenly let out a surprised cry, and then together with Gaia focused their gaze on one of the six figures.

"what happened?"

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, fearing that something unexpected had happened during the resurrection process.

"Nothing, just something interesting happened."

Alaya's playful gaze swept over Lin Yu, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Xiaoyu, where's your vampire? Take it out and let me see."

Alaya's sudden request left Lin Yu completely bewildered, but he complied nonetheless. Alaya was now the boss, and Lin Yu would not refuse any of her requests, especially since she just wanted to see a vampire.

He stretched out his hand and grasped it, and the giant vampire appeared in Lin Yu's hand. This sword was no longer of much use to Lin Yu. In recent battles, there were large armies and behemoths like the Zodiac Gastrea. A sword was really useless, so he hadn't taken it out much.

"Would you like a sword that can communicate with spirits?"

Alaya flew to Lin Yu's front and said with a tempting expression.

"A spirit-infused sword? What does that mean?"

Lin Yu frowned. He could vaguely guess what Alaya meant, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"I don't know if it was your actions that moved that little girl, but now she's actively trying to become a force that you can use."

Although he had some guesses, Lin Yu was still somewhat unwilling to believe it when Alaya actually said it. His gaze subconsciously turned to one of the six figures. The other figures were becoming more and more solid, but this one was still as ethereal as smoke.

"Tina?"

Lin Yu asked tentatively, and to his surprise, the smoke in front of him actually trembled slightly as a response.

"why?"

Lin Yu's eyes were somewhat complicated. He hadn't really done anything for this little girl; at most, he had just kept her company and helped her relax. Yet Tina wanted to become his strength on her own initiative, which felt like she was getting something for nothing.

"When you tried to use the Eye of Calamity to go back in time and revive them, you actually succeeded in a way. However, you were unable to give them bodies to contain their souls, so their souls resided in your right eye. Through the perspective of your right eye, they also knew everything that happened afterward. Now they probably want to repay you."

It was Alaya who offered the explanation. The little one crossed her arms and looked at him with a serious expression of admiration. Although it looked a bit strange, Lin Yu knew that it was definitely a remarkable decision to make her look like that.

"What do you mean by a spirit-infused sword?"

Lin Yu did not refuse directly, but asked Alaya.

"On the surface, you've probably seen the anime 'Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance,' right? It's similar to the sword spirits in it. If this girl's soul could merge with a vampire, maybe some interesting changes would happen."

Alaya squinted her eyes.

"Of course, the decision is yours; whether or not to accept her kindness is up to you."

Lin Yu frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Shana. If she accepted, it would be equivalent to signing a different kind of contract with him, meaning that she would follow him to other worlds in the future. So far, only Shana has been able to do this.

"Why are you looking at me? You decide for yourself!"

Shana crossed her arms, neither accepting nor refusing. However, given her personality, not refusing was tantamount to agreeing, even if she had some minor emotional reaction.

Lin Yu smiled gratefully at Shana. He was quite emotionally intelligent. There was nothing in this world that Tina would miss. Rather than staying here after he left, she would rather leave with him. He believed that Tina, who was willing to merge with a sword, must have made such preparations.

"Tina, are you really willing?"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu asked Tina again seriously. Tina's decision would change her life, and she might no longer be human. Such a choice would not be easy for anyone, but the mist representing Tina directly expressed her determination through her actions.

The hazy mist enveloped the vampire, as if it were impatiently waiting, and even Alaya raised an eyebrow.
