Her eyes had long been blinded by the cold wind. When she sensed someone coming, the countless iron chains piercing her body swayed slightly, making crisp sounds.

She desperately wanted to feel the breath of the person who came. Her throat, which had not been used for many years, tried hard to make a sound, but could only make low moans.

"Who is...?"

After a long time, the girl in front of him slowly opened her mouth. Her voice was as hoarse as a machine that had not been maintained for many years.

"kill me......"

"Please...kill me..."

When she woke up from the pain, the first thing she did was to pray for someone to end her life.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to sense something. A ray of clarity flashed across her cloudy eyes, and her chest rose and fell slightly:

"Can you...can you...please come a little closer?"

Li Anxin just slowly stretched out his hand towards the girl.

"Zero...is that you?"

The girl suddenly became agitated. After feeling Li Anxin's breath, she struggled to get up, but dozens of chains on her body suddenly imprisoned her, making her unable to move.

"Zero, zero... zero..."

The girl struggled harder and harder, and the chains made her body covered in blood.

Her blind eyes seemed to be filled with a desire for light, and she kept crawling on her bleeding knees trying to get closer to Li Anxin.

The pain was nothing to the girl, but the desire so close at hand made her gradually go crazy:

"Zero, is that you? Speak, speak up."

"I can feel your presence. It's you, right? Are you back to pick me up?"

"I've been waiting for you here for a long, long time, Zero, are you listening? As soon as I wake up, I will miss you. I wonder when you will come back to me, like before, to stay by my side. You said you would not leave me."

"Why do you leave me here alone? Why, why...why do you leave me here alone? You clearly promised me..."

"Will never leave me..."

The girl's expression suddenly became extremely crazy, and a terrifying aura burst out from her body:

"zero!!!"

"Speak up! I know you are right in front of me! Why aren't you speaking?!"

The girl screamed almost crazily. The iron chain that passed through her body glowed brightly and suddenly pulled her body back.

"You clearly said that you only love me! You clearly said that as long as I teach you necromancy, you will find a way to take me away from here!!"

"You clearly know that teaching necromancy to outsiders is an absolute taboo and will result in eternal punishment. I trust you so much, but what about you?! You have achieved success and become the Lord of the Dead, respected by everyone, but why don't you take me away!!"

"You know exactly what I'll face if you leave me here!"

"Have I always been just a dispensable tool to you?! Were all those wonderful things just a trick you put on me in order to usurp the taboo of necromancy?!"

"I love you, I gave you everything I have, I trusted you so much, why did you lie to me!!!"

"Answer me, why!!!"

Chapter 258: "Winter Cliff" You are not allowed to take my angel out of the birdcage

The girl was hysterical.

But Li Anxin had no idea what to do. Listening to the girl's words, her mind was in great confusion. The unknown and confusion almost swallowed her up. She subconsciously took a step back.

The girl was very aware of her movements. After shouting at the top of her lungs, there was a hint of pleading on her face. Her voice was very soft:

"Please, Zero, don't go... Are you back for me? Take me away now, okay? Take me out of here now."

"I'm not zero..."

Li Anxin shook her head gently.

She was never that figure.

It's not to avoid anything, because this was a mistake from the beginning!

To admit this would mean denying everything about 'Li Anxin', denying all of his past, denying all the pain and beauty he had experienced, denying the meaning of his existence, and denying everything about himself.

Admit that he was just a shadow created by others, and was just a part of ZERO's revival plan from the beginning to the end.

All the memories seem so pale and ridiculous, and can be simply summarized by a fabricated sentence.

Why? Why was everything about her as an individual like Li Anxin so easily denied?

But, even so.

After witnessing scene after scene during her journey, she was still slightly shaken in her heart.

Everyone around her believed that she was ZERO and followed her fanatically.

She really would repeatedly question herself, could she really deceive everyone with her exquisite acting skills, deceive those ZERO subordinates? And deceive the girl in front of her?

Is it true that all I have done is just chasing after someone else?

What is she living for?

Countless questions surged up like a tide, engulfing her frail and helpless figure.

She fell deeper into the sea. Even though she struggled to reach the light on the sea surface, the suffocating feeling that seemed to strangle her throat made her eyes gradually darken and her thoughts gradually slowed down...

Could it be that she has really never been herself, never been 'Li Anxin', and has always been just a shadow of someone else...?

Is she not admitting these things for her own sake or to escape?

Had she been running away all this time? Running away from all the crimes that ZERO had committed?

She felt like she was really about to fall into the abyss and felt so helpless. For the first time, she longed for a pair of hands to pull her back in time, and for someone who saw through everything to tell her the truth firmly.

Li Anxin's eyes slowly closed, and her body fell into the darkness. Countless hands quickly surged up and restrained her body, as if they wanted to drag her completely into the abyss.

When her mind was extremely confused, her will suddenly became clear, her pupils turned red for a moment, and the deceivers surged out from all parts of her body, transforming into giant sickles, which suddenly cut off all the black hands that bound her.

Do not......

Her soul was in denial!

The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes again, and used all her strength to chop at those black hands, cutting them off again and again, and finally suddenly broke free from all restraints and chased after the light on the sea level!

She gritted her teeth, her expression was extremely determined at this moment, and she suddenly stretched out her hand and grasped the light in her hand.

The scene before my eyes gradually returned to its clear and bright state.

In the darkness, a figure left.

I saw several wizard elders circling around her with concern. When they saw her wake up, they patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Your Excellency, Lord of the Dead, you suddenly fainted. We thought you..."

Li Anxin held his forehead and slowly stood up, his expression slightly painful:

"What's up with her?"

"Who?"

"What on earth did that girl in prison go through to be..."

"She died a long time ago. She turned into a pile of bones decades ago..." a wizard said cautiously.

"What on earth did you see in there, Lord of the Dead?"

"It is absolutely unforgivable to disobey the will of our ancestors. Necromancer is our foundation, and passing it on to outsiders is absolutely unforgivable, and no one is exempt. But Lord of the Dead, you have revived the glory of necromancy and created countless forbidden magics. That's why we have made you a saint, but her punishment..."

Li Anxin was slightly stunned after hearing these words.

She remembered,

Not long after entering the prison, he saw the girl's dried bones and fell into hallucination again at that moment.

Everything the girl said in the illusion was probably true.

She roughly figured out the story. ZERO came here a hundred years ago, communicated with the girl and captured her heart. The long-term companionship made the girl fall in love and she dedicated everything to ZERO.

After mastering necromancy, ZERO made rapid progress. Before the necromancers came to settle accounts with him, he created forbidden necromancy that could make up for his sins. He was then honored as the Holy Lord of the Dead by the necromancers' descendants.

After taking advantage of the girl, ZERO left this place and continued traveling around the world.

Extremely bad.

Li Anxin thought so, then slowly stood up.

At this moment, alarms sounded in all wizard towers, and shrill horn sounds resounded through the sky.

At this point, most of the wizards came back to their senses from what they had done, with confusion on their faces.

An elder wizard stood up:

"what's the situation?!"

"Report to the elders! An unknown army is approaching our wizard tower from the south!!"

"It's a huge scale, the number is estimated to be over 30,000!"

"Everyone, get ready immediately. Notify other wizard towers to prepare for the battle at level one!!"

The entire tower was mobilized quickly.

At the same time, fear and panic spread, and the crying of babies and the prayers of women echoed in everyone's ears.

A nine-eyed owl flew over from a distance and quickly transformed into a young girl, appearing beside Li Anxin and kneeling on one knee:

"Your Excellency the Bishop, the attackers are from the Hell Legion."

"The Legion of Hell?"

"They are the legion placed in the Red Moon Layer by the twelfth agent of the Burning Apostle. They are extremely large and very aggressive. They are responsible for promoting the will of the Burning Apostles in all layers except the Burning Layer. They are an absolutely violent organization."

"The leader of this army is one of your lackeys who met you before, codenamed Burning Rose."

"Burning Rose?"

"There is no time to explain so much. These guys are all lunatics who are not afraid of death. This place will soon become chaotic. Let's leave here first, Your Excellency the Bishop."

As he said that, Ye Xiao stepped forward and grabbed Li Anxin's wrist, trying to take the girl away by force.

"and many more......"

Li Anxin struggled slightly, but Ye Xiao did not give in at all:

"My Lord Bishop, this concerns your life and safety. Please forgive me for being unreasonable."

A figure slowly appeared from the side, leaning against the wall, and the black ghost energy condensed into substance burst out from his body:

"Let go of my sister's hand."

At this moment, Senlu was wrapped in bandages all over her body, as if she had just woken up from a coma. Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with brutality, and her face looked sick.

Like a demon returning from hell, the hand that was holding the wall suddenly embedded into it, and the entire wall was instantly covered with cracks.

"Don't you understand?"

Blood was oozing from Sen Lu's cracked lips, revealing the madness on her face at the moment.

"I told you to let go of your sister's hand."

Chapter 259: "Winter Cliffs" Hell Legion

"No one can take my sister away from me..."

"I only want my sister, I only want Li Anxin, I don't want anyone else..."

"I won't trade it for anything. I only have one treasure."

Sen Lu slowly loosened his hand as he spoke, blood from his fingertips flowed down, and his body staggered towards Li Anxin.

"Your Excellency, she is not in a good condition..."

Night Owl looked at the girl who was slowly walking towards them as if she was possessed by an evil spirit, and said with a gloomy look.

"Fawn..."

"She is not your bishop, and she does not want to be your bishop. I will never allow this to happen."
