Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 168 The Song of Death
"Are you feeling a little disappointed?" Beatrice folded her hands behind her back.On the black nails, blue-green blood dripped, flowing on the cheeks of those torn murlocs.Her blood-colored pupils shone brightly at night, like the light shining on a goblet filled with red wine.She rested her chin on Arianna's thin shoulders and looked at the creature in front of her with a smirk.

"I didn't expect the real siren to be so... ugly." Beatrice bit the word siren hard, with a mischievous tone in her words, as if she wanted to kiss Arianna on the face.

In front of the two sisters, the monster sitting cross-legged in the dank lair was bloated and fat.The lower limb of her body is a fat water snake tail, or an elongated maggot is closer.Gravel-like dark yellow scales covered her back, and her body was covered with dirty mud.The humanoid upper body looks ridiculous against the plump lower body, and her face is like the ugliest mermaid, a protruding tentacles the size of a light bulb fish hanging in front of her bulging white eyeballs, illuminating a picture hidden in the darkness The big mouth is like shark teeth forcibly assembled together.Murlocs and human-shaped sea monsters surrounded her, and the stars held the moon.

Arianna looked into those cloudy eyes, with no sense of beauty. The inside of this monster is empty, and the empty soul cannot compose music. It seems that her thoughts are about to fail again.

"Let's go, Beatrice, there is no need to stay here any longer."

"They don't seem to want to let us go, dear sister." Beatrice smiled and looked at the monsters that surrounded her. From the corpses under her feet, the blue-green blood was drawn out and gathered into blood cells in her palm.

Arianna doesn't like the way Beatrice is being taken over by bloodthirsty urges, and she decides to strike first.

"The Greatest Sound." The waving magic wand summoned a howling ghost, and she roared, the sound waves she made were like invisible blades, cutting the murlocs who were constantly charging into pieces.

"Come on, Beatrice, or you're going to drink again."

Beatrice clapped her hands indifferently, "Well, a battle of this level is not worth drinking to celebrate."

The two sisters turned and were about to leave.

A melodious and beautiful voice appeared in the ears of the two of them, as if a moon appeared in their hearts. The sweet voice washed away the fatigue of the listeners and also distorted their will.

The two sisters turned around at the same time, looking at the swollen banshee who was speaking.

"If I'm not wrong, sister, this lifeless siren is charming us. Can I understand this as a provocation to Naslan's daughter?" Beatrice's eyes were filled with malice, "I Can I teach her a lesson?"

Arianna also recalled the moving singing voice she heard just now, "She seems to be able to communicate, Beatrice."

"Communication is based on the willingness of both parties, sister. I don't think..."

The dispute between the two sisters was not over yet, the siren siren started to move, it didn't look like an attack, she moved very slowly.Dragging his bloated body, he moved towards Beatrice step by step.

Beatrice showed her razor-sharp nails, but was stopped by Arianna.

"elder sister?"

"Let's stand back, Beatrice."

The Siren slowly wriggled out of her cave, with Arianna's tacit approval.She stood on the beach, and the mania that had been in the dark cave was gone.Her ugly head looked at the sea, as if thinking of something, she turned her head and looked at the tall building standing on the cliff behind her. The tall spire connected with the thick cloud, covering the whole Hamlet with haze.

A ray of moonlight shone on the banshee, and white smoke came out of her fat body. Under the moonlight, she changed into another look.

"A human?"

It was a long-haired woman in a soaked dress, with seaweed mixed in her hair, rough skin with the makeup of the years, and a pair of gentle eyes.

Her appearance is not beautiful, but there is a kind of gentleness between her brows, even though this kind of gentleness has been distorted into horror by the world, and it can only return to its original state under the moonlight.

The long-haired woman bowed to Arianna and Beatrice, and her perfect etiquette showed that she had received a good education.

Her voice was a little hoarse and trembling, like trembling in the cold.

"I'm sorry for the harm I caused you. I can't control myself many times, and there are other crazy voices in my head." The woman said, hugging her head in pain, with a muffled groan , a crimson spike sprouted from her shoulder blade, wrecking the poor creature's body beyond recognition.

After several deep breaths, the woman finally got rid of the pain of tearing her body and returned to sobriety.

She looked at Arianna and made a far-fetched smile, "Please leave quickly, before I change, before I hurt you."

"Are you a human?"

"It used to be..." The woman looked at the silent Arianna, "You seem to be disappointed..."

"I wanted to find a way to improve my singing ability, so I was looking for a real siren."

"Can you show me your singing voice?" The ugly woman smiled, maybe it was because she felt lonely after being in a monster state for a long time, maybe it was because she was a warm-hearted person. "I have received music practice for a period of time. Decades ago, the human beings, maybe, the good memories that I linger in the corner of my mind can have some good effects on your singing skills."

Arianna recalled the touching singing voice she heard not long ago, and she actually nodded at this former human being.

She folded her hands on her chest, looking at the moon showing its profile behind the cloud.

Arianna started singing.

---------

Lyle was crouching in the tower of the bandit camp, facing the campfire, when suddenly he clutched his chest.

"What's the matter, Lyle?"

"My heart skipped a beat."

"...I hope your heart is fine and you can stop." Kevin's expression of worry turned into contempt, and he shrank back into his blanket.

"It's true, I have a hunch that something is going to happen."

--------

In the bay, the murlocs who were still awake scrambled to escape back into the water, while the rest fell unconscious on the ground.

Beatrice squatted aside covering her ears, the woman struggled to get up from the ground, and looked at the girl in white in surprise.

The deformed bone spurs on her body were twitching, and following the principle of helping others to the end, she listened to a song by Arianna in its entirety.

Almost ended his own monster life.

Patting her brain, which was like paste, she spoke with difficulty.

"You... are not a living thing."

"Yes, I am a lich, does this have anything to do with my singing?"

"There is an absurd legend among human musicians, a perfect singer, after death, her voice will be favored by the god of death, and she will continue to sing in the kingdom of the dead, for those obsessed dead."

"Her singing will become the sound of death, it will awaken life's most instinctive perception."

"That is, pain."

"The dead will feel happy because they experience the feelings they had in life, while the living will endure this unbearable torture."

"Ma'am, your voice is a sound that the living cannot bear. No matter how hard you refine it, it will not help. It only belongs to the dead."

Arianna seems to have taken a hit.

"It only belongs to the dead?"

"He, doesn't he belong to the dead?"
