But a complete living person, as well as one death or two deaths, are unbearable.
"I'm sorry... I don't know how to tell you the truth. I agreed to the fake person's request and had no choice but to pick up the demon sword. I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. Sister Beichen said that I was training in there and would come back sooner or later, but the training turned out to be like this..."
Ling was very depressed, which was part of Li Mo's plan.
Li Mo walked to the front of the car, brought the driver to Ling, and said calmly: "I have a way to bring Ying back to reality, but I need something."
Ling was smart. Seeing Li Mo staring at her, she asked, "Me?"
Li Mo shook his head in denial. "It's not you. It's you who can abandon worldly morals and your human identity. Now tell me, how far can you go for your sister?"
"I want to rescue my sister, no matter what the cost, as long as I can do it! Anything is fine!" Ling shouted.
All tragedies occur because the parties involved are unable to act.
If they had been a little more clever, if they had been a little stronger, the tragedy might still have happened, but it would never have been so tragic.
"Then 'eat' him, absorb his vitality, and use that vitality to counteract the contamination of the demon sword. You can do it. The strange laws do not need to be taught. Just let your body follow its instincts and you will be able to do it."
Li Mo threw the driver to the ground and used "Usurpation" to create a restraining device to block his movements.
The driver is not dead yet, of course, only his body is alive, but his soul has long disappeared, becoming a derivative of the ghost bus and a part of the ghost bus's laws.
The strange original law keeps it alive, allowing humans to retain some vitality.
And vitality is exactly what Li Mo needs.
Back then, outside Yae Village, Yae Sakura relied on Akazome Sakura to kill several demons unscrupulously, and the price was provided by the vitality of these outsiders.
To offset pollution with human lives is the law of the seeds of lament.
But this is obviously incomplete and incomplete.
Ling maintained her identity, and the law of the Seed of Sorrow was to offset pollution with the lives of living people. If Ling lost her identity, she would probably allow the law to run freely, as we had seen before.
Once that happened, Li Mo had to speed up his plan, eliminate all the fake people, and then kill Ling.
"I won't wait too long. If you can't do it, just pretend I didn't say anything before. I will find a way. You don't need to bear the responsibility and pressure."
Li Mo's calm words made Ling, who was already blaming herself, feel even worse.
What do you mean by not having to bear responsibility and pressure? Obviously... she is the closest family member to Ying! She is the person closest to her sister!
Li Mo didn't look back. Feeling the strange aura surging behind him, he slowly lowered his left hand. He originally wanted to use other things to stimulate Ling, but now it seems unnecessary.
In this way, there is no need for the so-called ceremony.
Just push it away.
Two minutes later, the ghost bus roared, even though the driver was dead.
This is normal. The driver is at best a derivative. The ghost's body is still the bus, which can still operate even without the driver.
"get off."
Li Mo and Ling returned to the reality platform.
"vomit!……"
Ling covered her mouth, her face twisted, a feeling of nausea rolling in her stomach. This feeling... was like swallowing all the sewage from the sewer into her stomach.
Li Mo pulled out the Akazen Sakura, aimed at the Ghost Bus, and rushed forward to cut it off with a sword the moment it started.
After a while, the ghost bus disappeared from sight and was completely swallowed up by the demon sword world.
"..."
Li Mo glanced at Chi Ranying coldly, his eyeballs gradually swelled, and the bloodshot seemed to be about to explode, and blood would splash onto Li Mo at any time.
"The contamination on the purifying knife, Sakura can't hold on any longer."
Hearing Li Mo's instructions, Ling did not dare to slack off at all. She immediately transformed into the Seed of Sorrow and used the vitality she had just absorbed to offset the pollution.
However, that little bit of vitality was just a drop in the bucket. The eyeball was still expanding, but the speed had slowed down a little.
Ling bit her lip and looked fierce.
Ugly wrinkles and pigment spots appeared on the face, the hair became dry and gray, and the body's bone structure became increasingly deformed, with a hunched back.
If the vitality absorbed is not enough, use your own to fill it.
Li Mo watched everything coldly. This change was irreversible. Even if Ling's vitality was replenished later, the essence of her life would still be this old and frail appearance.
At most, the appearance can be changed by absorbing a large amount of vitality, but the organs in the body will not change.
That's how weird it is. No matter whether it's a human or a ghost, once you take the first step, there's no turning back.
Power comes at a price.
"Let's go find Beichen. Then I'll help you replenish your vitality in case you need it."
After confirming that the demon sword was silent, Li Mo carried the elderly Ling on his back and headed towards the Fire Moth.
Beichen knows so much about ghosts and the Fire Moths, which means that she herself may be a member of the Fire Moths and has a high status.
According to the normal timeline of the original work, Mei was still attending classes at Qianyu Academy at this time, and the third collapse had not yet occurred.
But the world is distorted, and the plot will naturally not proceed according to the script.
So we need to find out whether Mei is the person in charge of the Fire Moth. If so, then things will be much easier.
If not, he can use another extreme method to make the top leaders of the Fire Moth his puppets.
The power of ghosts is superior to that of humans, so it is not difficult for them to do such things.
"..."
When passing by his home, Li Mo stopped.
The villa was brightly lit, all lights were turned on, as if telling passers-by.
The owner is at home.
Li Mo didn't look up, but his "eyes" had already seen Beichen dying under the light.
"It seems to save a lot of trouble."
Li Mo carried Ling on his back and returned to his once familiar home.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Beichen sitting on the sofa with a dull look in his eyes. It was as if he had known that Li Mo was coming back and had prepared his makeup in advance.
It’s a pity that no matter how gorgeous the makeup is, it can’t hide the rotten skin underneath.
Of the three people present, Ling looked the ugliest, yet the most beautiful. The corruption in her body had not yet fully manifested itself, waiting for time to ferment.
Li Mo and Beichen, both of them were evil spirits with one foot stepping into the forbidden realm, their bodies already riddled with holes and in tatters.
"Li...Mo."
Seeing Li Mo coming back, Beichen's eyes moved, and then he showed a helpless smile again.
"You seem to have changed a lot, becoming... more and more unfamiliar."
Beichen stretched out his hand in the direction of Li Mo, his beautifully painted arm trembling slightly, like a dead leaf swaying in the rain.
Li Mo stood there motionless, neither moving forward nor responding.
"I won't change." Li Mo said calmly.
Unexpectedly, Beichen didn't refute him. Instead, he said in a more emphatic tone, "Everyone changes. 'This time' is different from 'next time,' and 'next time' is different from 'the next time after that.' Only three people have remained unchanged from beginning to end."
"Which three?"
"You, Irene, and..."
Beichen's gaze shifted slightly, and he looked meaningfully at the white moonlight shining through the window.
"Why, you ask, was K423 born into this world?" Beichen changed the subject and asked a question that was completely unrelated to the previous one.
Li Mo directly gave the answer from the original novel: "Because Xilinshan's will wants to extend. Also, this is not something you should know. This will happen, but it will happen 50,000 years later."
Li Mo thought for a moment and added, "It was Irene who told you. She travels through time and space, so she can naturally witness the birth of K423."
Beichen smiled and replied softly, "The answer is wrong. But... perhaps in the original world, the answer was correct. She was the first weird, but not the source."
"Who is the source? Is it me?"
"No, you are not the source of the weirdness, I am sure of that."
"Is that so? You know a lot more than I thought. But there's a loophole in what you just said, and that's in the 'first strangeness.'" Li Mo said with conviction, "Before Kiana became a strangeness, Otto gave me a stigmata called 'Type 2.' That stigmata possessed strange powers, allowing me to tamper with the laws of the Cocoon of the End."
The memories from the past... Li Mo has never forgotten them at all.
Kiana will not be recognized by the Cocoon of the End. This girl who endured pain and continued to move forward for a better world, sacrificed her teacher and left her lover... If in the end, she can only watch her family and friends all destroyed by the Honkai, and the reason is simply because she did not receive the recognition of the Cocoon of the End...
She shouldn't have to endure this kind of pain, and Li Mo wouldn't let her endure it.
"..."
Li Mo vaguely remembered that he had arrived in front of the Cocoon of the End in a state of extreme humiliation, with the destruction and erosion spreading to his internal organs——
----
"Hello, my name is Li Mo."
The Cocoon of the End did not respond. It was like a god high above, never bowing its head to listen to the words of the common people.
Whether it is a request or a prayer.
God is indifferent to any suffering and sorrow.
Yes, it just acts according to its own rules, has no emotions, and hardly ever has any emotions.
"Next, you have to choose a girl to be your new master. Her name is Kiana Kaslana..."
I speak very slowly.
"She's a foodie, but she's lost her sense of taste. You have to help her regain it."
He bit his finger, and the dark red blood still left twisted words on the Cocoon of the End. Every word he wrote polluted the rules of the Cocoon of the End.
"She is lively and outgoing. The lonely life on the moon is not suitable for her. You must allow her unlimited freedom."
"She has many companions around her, and even after I left, there are still companions who will stay with her, so you must provide them with some assistance when they face the opponent who stole your power, so that they have enough strength to overcome 'Ikaros'."
The scarlet holy mark pattern became distorted and gradually faded, twisting and turning like several coiled vipers overlapping each other.
He fell to his knees, and with the last bit of strength he had, he turned around and sat with his back against the cocoon of the end, so that his final posture would not be so ugly.
I took one last breath with all my strength, but my lungs had already stopped working. I was like a drowning person, pitiful and painful, struggling but with no hope.
The flames behind him burned his flesh and blood, and his dried-up internal organs stimulated his brain to make a sad groan.
Despite this, Kiana's innocent smile still remained in her dilated pupils.
It is said that people will have a quick tour before they die, and he is no exception.
However, I did not see the whole life, but only the short yet long seven-year wandering journey.
The morning birds flying in the woods, carrying lingering white mist, wet the girl's white eyelashes.
The trickling stream mixed the starlight into the girl's bright and clear eyes.
The half-eaten chicken leg was snatched away by the girl;
the teeth marks on the back of his hand from losing a game;
Walking side by side on a deserted park path late at night;
Instinctively hiding in your arms and instinctively hugging you when you sleep...
Chapter 60: The person is gone, but the thoughts remain
Yes, before Kiana was twisted into something weird, that holy mark was the beginning of all the disasters.
The strange stigma is the first source of pollution.
……
I always feel like I'm overlooking something...
"Do you think so?" Beichen asked back.
Li Mo said confidently: "Yes, the weirdness may have a source, but at least, the first weirdness was not Kiana, and that weird stigma is the best proof."
"Who gave you the stigmata?"
