The roar of the wind and snow became more and more violent. Even from the level of energy agitation, Li Xuan could clearly feel that it was angry.
Frostfather quickly gathered energy again, but this time it wasn't an icicle that condensed, but a giant reindeer. The reindeer's body was like a skyscraper, and its massive, branching horns alone were the size of a small square.
The reindeer suddenly charged towards Lonai. Although it seemed to be very powerful, in fact, Frost Father, who was an energy body, could only use energy attacks. Even if it was wrapped in some snowflakes, it was mainly energy.
As long as it was an energy attack, Lonai could absorb it. With the blessing of the spring water, the efficiency and upper limit of absorption were greatly improved. There was no need to worry about it being filled up all at once like when fighting the Emperor.
The reindeer rushed towards Lonai like a tidal wave, and then were absorbed by the barrier at a distance of dozens of meters, and then transformed into cherry blossom energy and shot towards Frost Father.
This time, Frost Father's entire form was shattered, and it became even more angry. Li Xuan could even hear its roar through the wind and snow.
"Sure enough, it doesn't have much intelligence. If it were an intelligent creature, it would have tried to delay time after noticing Lonai's ability and would have attacked after Lonai's liberation." Li Xuan shook his head.
This time, Frost Father used all his strength, and a deer cart that covered the sky and the sun appeared in the sky. There were nine giant deer pulling the cart, and each one was the same size as the previous one.
On the enormous deer cart sat a gigantic old man in red clothes and a red hat. His hair and beard were all white, and his expression was majestic without anger. However, his expression seemed a little stiff, more like a statue than a living being.
"Unforgivable!" The old man spoke slowly, his huge voice like a bell ringing in his ears.
"Why do I feel...it looks a bit like Santa Claus?" Li Xuan said, scratching his head.
"What is Santa Claus?" Liaoying asked curiously.
"It's the old man who stuffs gifts into socks at Christmas. Secretary Li would probably like it. Her obsession with socks is incredible," Qimo explained.
"Such a big creature, how big a sock must be needed to hold his gift." Liaoying looked up at the deer cart that had covered the sky. It was so big that even from a long distance, only a part of the whole picture could be seen.
However, even such an astonishing attack was still absorbed by Lonai's barrier.
However, the energy this time was too huge, and Lonai almost suffered from indigestion. In the end, Li Xuan helped her stabilize herself, and then all the energy of this attack was compressed into a giant pink ball.
The energy inside this ball has been compressed to the extreme, but even so, its volume is as big as a truck.
This level of energy was beyond Lonai's control, so Li Xuan simply raised it with both hands on Lonai's behalf.
This attack had obviously consumed most of Frost Father's energy. At this time, Frost Father's size had shrunk a lot, and it looked like just a small blizzard covering a radius of several kilometers.
Li Xuan was about to strike when he suddenly realized that using this energy for attacking would be a waste. Lu Che needed the energy, so giving it to her would also save her from constantly urging him to hand over his rations.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan opened an oversized portal, threw the light ball into the void of the illusory evil land, then switched to cannon form, and a volley of thermobaric bombs reduced the range of the blizzard to the size of a building.
"Liaoying, you kill it! I don't know if it is your enemy, but you have paid so much for revenge, it's time to put an end to it." Li Xuan said, stuffing the still hot cannon into Liaoying's hand.
"Hmm..." Liaoying looked at Li Xuan gratefully and held the handle of the barrel with her small hands.
"The shells have been loaded. You just need to inject the evil energy, aim and fire. Be careful when aiming. The trajectory of my cannon is off to the left, so I need to correct the error." Li Xuan taught.
"Why is the trajectory to the left? Wouldn't it be difficult to aim?" Liaoying asked curiously.
"If one day I die on the battlefield, I don't want the enemy to be able to pick up my weapon and use it." Li Xuan said seriously.
"Master, have you even calculated this?" Liaoying said in surprise.
"I was lying. Actually, it was because your good sister Shayue kicked it crooked... I had to manually fix the error." Li Xuan said, pointing to the slightly bent part of the barrel.
"Oh..." Liaoying nodded, not quite understanding, and then with the assistance of Li Xuan, aimed at the small amount of energy left in Frost Father.
The small ball of energy that remained seemed to be trembling, and the cold wind had a hard time even lifting large snowflakes.
Liaoying slowly injected evil energy into the cannon. In her mind, she recalled the hardships and pains she had experienced in pursuit of revenge, the monsters that died at her hands, and the people she accidentally injured while trying to kill the monsters.
"Let me go... I am the same as you... both are... the other side of the coin..." Frost Father, who was left as a small ball, suddenly spoke in human language and begged for mercy from Liaoying and Li Xuan.
"What did you say?" Li Xuan asked with a frown.
However, no matter how he asked, Frost Father's answer was always the same, and Li Xuan doubted whether he could understand what he was saying.
Liaoying looked at Li Xuan, asking him whether he wanted to take action.
"Kill him." Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of him, Li Xuan killed him by slitting his own throat.
So Liaoying activated the shell in the barrel, and with a thermobaric bullet, the last remnants of Frost Father were completely evaporated.
Liaoying put away her weapon and handed it to Li Xuan, then she let out a long breath, so long that it seemed as if she was going to exhale all the air in her lungs.
After completing her revenge, she felt relieved, but she couldn't help feeling a little empty. Fortunately, she had Li Xuan to fill her up - both mentally and physically.
Chapter 610 False Memory
"Thank you, big brother." After a long silence, Liaoying suddenly smiled cheerfully, turned around and hugged Li Xuan tightly.
"Thank you, Ronai and Qimo." Liaoying said, and hugged Ronai and Qimo respectively.
"I didn't put in much effort." Qimo smiled a little embarrassedly.
"So Liaoying, after you killed your enemy, did you remember anything?" Li Xuan asked.
Liao Ying shook her head: "It's still the same as before, I can't remember a single word. Instead, the hatred I have for Frost Father has gradually faded and become vague, as if it had never existed..."
"Hei Chao, check her memory again." Li Xuan requested.
"Memory, false. Implanted, disappeared, so." Hei Chao could not communicate fluently like Mian Yin, but Li Xuan still understood what she meant from her confusing words.
"Liaoying, maybe it's hard for you to accept this, but your hatred for Frost Father is most likely an implanted false memory." Li Xuan said seriously.
"If it were the old me, I probably wouldn't be able to accept this after knowing it, right? But after being with the master, revenge is no longer everything to me." Liaoying said with a smile. The smile was very natural and not forced.
Seeing Liaoying's appearance, Li Xuan felt very relieved - it seemed that he had underestimated this little Lolita, she was not as fragile as he imagined.
"But master, what good will it do to implant false memories into Liaoying? Anyone who can completely change a person's memory for such a long time can also kill Shuangfu himself, right? I don't think there is any need to kill someone with a borrowed knife." Qimo asked curiously.
"Impeccable." Lonai replied subconsciously.
"It's just a game of Three Kingdoms Kill." Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Luo Nai and turned to look at Qi Mo. "Assuming someone implanted false memories, let's speculate: how would the situation have developed if I hadn't intervened?"
"I will continue to collect frost crystals and then summon Frost Father. I don't have the ability to stop Frost Father, so I can only watch it destroy the city... and kill innocent people. Until it disappears naturally or is destroyed by other magical girls." Without waiting for Qi Mo to answer, Liaoying began to imagine the terrible consequences.
"Then, my false hatred will disappear. Revenge is everything to me, I will lose everything, and then... I can't imagine what will happen to me..." Liaoying hugged her head. Although the temperature around her had gradually returned to normal, she was still shivering.
"Oh my God, if that were the case, Liaoying would definitely be driven crazy. But what's the point of doing this? If that person wanted to kill Liaoying, wouldn't he have done it before she grew up? Who is it..." Qimo said puzzledly.
"I already have an idea of who that person is. It's most likely Belldandy, the president of the church. She has the ability to rewrite memories, and the rewritten memories are very real, so real that the person almost never doubted it - Lilika's memory was modified by her. And I've seen her in Liaoying's memory before - this woman, I shouldn't have let her go so easily!" Li Xuan said with a firm tone.
"As for her purpose, I'm not sure yet. But the secret of Liaoying may be bigger than I thought - Hei Chao, is there any way to restore Liaoying's memory?" Li Xuan asked.
"I can't do it. If, but all four of them are together, and Alice is here, then." Hei Chao tried hard to imitate Mian Yin's tone, spouting words one by one, just like a primary school student who only knew words but not grammar.
"You mean, if all four Alices are here, Liaoying's memory can be restored, right?" Li Xuan asked.
Kuroshio nodded.
"That's right, there's nothing that can't be expressed with a nod." Li Xuan smiled with relief. It seemed that if he wanted Liaoying to recover her memory, he had to get Alice together first. But the other two Alices were also in the Zhenshou Temple. After the two Alices were lost, they would definitely keep a close watch on them. It would not be easy to take them away.
After some thought, Li Xuan decided to go home first and ask Lu Che by the way - she might know Belldandy's plan.
After returning to the Witch Academy, Li Xuan first asked Luo Nai to take Liao Ying to have a good meal to calm her nerves, and then he went to Hong Zhen's cabin to look for Lu Che.
At this time, Black Cat and Hong Zhen were still watching cartoons. It was the old version of Tom and Jerry, and there was almost no dubbing throughout, so it was easier to understand.
But even so, there were still a lot of concepts that Hong Zhen could not understand, so Black Cat patiently explained them to her one by one.
On the mat in front of the two of them lay Lu Che with a slightly protruding belly. She had already digested most of the essence, but the remaining part was still not digested - judging from her appearance, she was probably a little tired.
"3.5 liters...is that the limit? No, I need to work harder...The goddess needs me, and the world needs me too..." Lu Che said in a daze.
"Don't sleep anymore, I have something to ask you." Li Xuan stepped on Lu Che's lower abdomen, and the latter made a "ugh" sound, and the plug in the house almost burst out.
Lu Che's first reaction was to reach out and plug the plug, then press it back hard. It seemed that the energy was indeed very important to her.
"What are you doing? Your energy is almost leaking!" Lu Che said to Li Xuan with dissatisfaction.
"If you leak it, I'll give it to you again. I want to ask you something." Li Xuan carried Lu Che to the sofa and told her about Liaoying.
"This matter involves the goddess, I can't answer you." Lu Che refused.
"Stop talking in riddles! I'll give you something good! Look at this! This energy is at least fifty liters, right?" Li Xuan said as he opened the portal and showed Lu Che the ball of light left by Frost Father.
"Assuming the energy density inside and outside is uniform, there will be less than 20 liters left after purification, and we don't know whether the energy inside is pure or not." Lu Che curled his lips.
"Do you want it or not?" Seeing that she looked like she wanted to bargain, Li Xuan simply closed the portal.
"If your energy is pure, I will definitely want it! But what if it's impure?" Lu Che saw that the energy in his mouth was about to run out, so he stood up hurriedly and said.
"If it's impure, I'll eat it myself. Are you satisfied?" Li Xuan said helplessly.
"It's a deal! Then I'll make an exception and tell you - Liaoying and Hongzhen originated from the same soul."
"Like Lilika and Alulu?"
"No, it's not a simple case of having the same soul. The relationship between Liaoying and Hongzhen is one positive and one negative, just like the two sides of a coin. Only the World Messenger can shape the soul in this way. As for the rest, I really can't say any more." Lu Che explained.
Chapter 611 Planting Trees
"Frostfather said something similar before he died... The only messenger capable of such a thing is Belldandy! Hongzhen was raised by her, and she also has no memory of the past." Li Xuan paced back and forth in a somewhat restless manner, and suddenly stopped to ask:
"Can't you really say more? This matter involves Belldandy, so it should be within your mission, right?"
"My mission is to bring her back, and that mission is now accomplished." Lu Che shook her head and stroked her slightly protruding belly.
"Li Xuan, it's not that I'm inflexible. The power an envoy can wield is too great, and human affairs are too complicated. I feel like I'm driving a dump truck on a complex road. If I'm not careful, I could send someone to another world."
"Okay, I understand. From your perspective, it's better to do less than to make mistakes." Li Xuan spread his hands, opened the portal, and handed the ball of light to Lu Che - it was useless for him to keep it anyway.
"I thought you wouldn't give it to me. I'm so embarrassed that I didn't help at all..." Lu Che took out a leather water bottle and poked the light ball with her finger. A stream of clear liquid immediately flowed out of the light ball and slowly poured into the leather water bottle. Although the capacity of the water bottle was not large, it seemed like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
"If you feel embarrassed, just bring Belldandy back. I have a lot of things to ask her." Li Xuan said with his arms folded.
"You may have misunderstood. I don't have the power to deal with Belldandy. The reason I was able to capture her this time was because I had a mission and she couldn't resist." Lu Che shook his head.
"It's really an advantage to her."
"If you feel you've suffered a loss, I'll compensate you with some gifts." Lu Che said with a smile.
"Gift? Do you have anything else on you besides this clothes and the cane?" Li Xuan asked.
"That's all." Lu Che said, letting the light ball float in the air and automatically injecting liquid, then he took the cane and walked out the door.
Li Xuan followed curiously, and saw Lu Che stick his walking stick into the open space at the door. The walking stick, which was originally a dead tree, took root and sprouted, and quickly grew into a towering tree.
The tree seemed to be set on fire. In just a few minutes, it was covered with flowers. After a few more minutes, the flowers fell to the ground, and the tree was full of big, round apples.
"This thing looks very similar to the apples grown by Belldandy." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at it carefully.
"On the contrary, the apples grown by Belldandy are modeled after this kind of fruit tree. But I'm not going to give you the apple above..." Lu Che said, picking up a leaf, gathering it into a bowl shape with both hands, and began to collect the dew on the apple.
When dew gathered on the leaves, Lu Che broke off a branch from the tree and used it as a walking stick. The whole tree withered immediately and then turned into a point of light and dissipated.
"What a waste! There are so many apples here." Li Xuan said regretfully.
"There's nothing to regret, it's just returning to paradise. This is a gift for you. This water can harmonize all things, and you will need it soon. Remember not to let the water leave the leaves, otherwise it will become ineffective." Lu Che said, handing the bowl made of leaves to Li Xuan.
"What's going on? It's so mysterious." Li Xuan put the leaves into the void and then opened the portal to go back and check on Liaoying's situation.
Liaoying seemed to be in good spirits, chatting and laughing with her friends, but Li Xuan could see that there was still a hint of loss in her eyes.
The life that was based on revenge was stripped of its foundation, and even the memories up to that point were proven to be false. This shock was a bit too strong for a young girl who was inexperienced in the world.
Lu Che's words have fully proved Liaoying's specialness, and gathering all the Alices is the only way for Liaoying to restore her memory.
Looking at Liaoying chatting and laughing with her friends, Li Xuan knew that he had to take action against Zhenshou Temple.
After sitting with Liaoying for a while, Li Xuan opened the space channel and came to the Black Crystal Research Institute to find Tang Xi.
After all, she was still the person who knew Zhenshou Temple best. Also, Li Xuan needed her help fixing this bent weapon; after all, he couldn't always miss his target, could he?
"Master, how come you have time to come here today?" Tang Xi, who was slacking off reading comics, was surprised to see Li Xuan and quickly jumped up to greet him.
"The handle of the halberd is bent, and I want you to fix it." Li Xuan replied.
"Oh..." Tang Xi bent down, skillfully took off Li Xuan's pants, and placed his crime tool in the middle.
"...What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say the halberd handle was bent? It looks straight to me. And it's getting straighter and straighter. It's almost ready to be used as a halberd king." Tang Xi said while holding it.
"I'm talking about the halberd, the handle of the halberd!" Li Xuan took out the weapon with a helpless smile and pointed to the curved part on it to show Tang Xi.
"So that's how it is. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tang Xi said as he helped Li Xuan put on his pants, picked up the halberd and threw it into the portal.
"Master, don't worry. Wang Li and I are already researching the second-generation Military God's five weapons. It's currently in the manufacturing stage, and everything is fine except for a minor problem. You can get the new weapons within a week." Tang Xi smiled confidently.
"Very good, there is no need to rush the construction period, but reliability must be maximized. Because the next enemy I will deal with is Zhen Shouguan." Li Xuan said seriously.
"You want to attack Zhenshou Temple?!" Tang Xi said in surprise.
"Yes, I need Guardian 9999—that is, all the fragments of Alice."
