Siren Blade

Chapter 130 Joanne
I looked where the zealot's body had vanished, and there was nothing left of him, all I could see was a vast expanse of ruined floors and walls.According to experience, he must die.But I understand that things are not that simple.I didn't feel the spirit fragments go into the siren blade, which means that the cultist is really not dead.

I recalled the resistance I felt just now, it was not from my hands, but from my heart, it was almost like a psychological illusion.However, I had an extremely clear awareness—the power of the Siren Blade, which can kill and injure people in real life even in a dream, was blocked by that unprecedented resistance.

It's not like no one has overcome the Siren Blade's special abilities in the past.For example, in order to overcome the ability of the Siren Blade to create irreparable wounds, Blue Bird chose to cut off the wound itself, and the evil move chose to use his own shapeless body; and in order to overcome the ability of the Siren Blade to kill the main body through the clone, the middleman Choosing to order the clone to commit suicide before the clone is killed, the succubus chooses to use its special body that has been fused with the fog demon.But these strategies are not so much overcoming in the true sense, as they are all roundabout avoiding a direct conflict with the power of the Siren Blade.

However, that kind of resistance is completely different, that kind of resistance does not entrain the slightest moisture, completely defending my strength from the front.

What kind of power can do this?From what I can see, only one possibility can come to mind.

Fanatics have used the power of the true spirit!

With both a dreamy immortal body and the power of a true spirit, could it be that he has become a dream warlock?Impossible, if he was a great warlock, I definitely wouldn't have defeated him so easily just now.Besides, since he has the power of the true spirit, why didn't he use it in the battle just now?Or is it that although he can use it, there are very strict restrictions?
And, why would he call "it" a "visitor"?What about the poisons and curses he spoke of?

How much did he know about "it"?
There are too many things that I don't understand, and I can only leave it to think about it later.At the same time, I also firmly remembered the fanatic in my heart.Perhaps I should hunt down fanatics more than chasing Bite Blood.

Footsteps came from behind.I looked back, it was Qingniao, and she seemed to have ended the battle with Yuchi.But when asked about the specific result, she said with regret: "Let him run away."

I was puzzled, when it comes to moving speed, no matter how fast Yuchi is a hundred times faster, he is still far behind Blue Bird, so how did he manage to escape?After some questioning, I found out that during the battle, Yuchi once again showed his cunning as a seasoned fighter, and even resorted to "escape the shell of the golden cicada".He first escaped from the armor without anyone noticing, and then sneaked away from under the blue bird's nose.From the middle of the battle with the blue bird, it is no longer me, but just an empty blood armor.It wasn't until Qingniao chopped the armor into pieces that he realized that the master had fled far away.

"It's come to this point, there is still a way to escape..." I couldn't help but sigh with emotion for Yuchi's wisdom and execution ability in narrowly escaping from death.

Having said that, it is necessary to put a question mark on whether he can continue to survive.

In his demon-fused form, I felt that the mortal wounds I had inflicted on him had become "innocuous", but that didn't mean the wounds disappeared, just that he gained physical capabilities that he could ignore.And after a huge failure in the fusion, his state fell off a cliff, and the "innocuous" wound became fatal again.Maybe he will die in an unknown corner later, and I will never have the chance to meet him again.

However, not long after, I saw him again.

To be exact, it was seeing the fragments of the spirit body sent over after his death.

He died, and the cause of his death left me speechless.

But I'll talk about that later, let's talk about what happened immediately after the retreat of the fanatics and Yuchi.

With the end of the battle, the collective coma in Liucheng, which affected more than 5000 people, finally came to an end.The Security Bureau started the aftermath work, mainly arresting the eve demon warlocks who had not yet withdrawn from Liucheng, and clearing the dream magic circles everywhere in Liucheng.But Lie Que appeared belatedly in front of me and Jade Bird, and explained why he was late.

At the same time, the Security Bureau also conducted a detailed investigation and search of this stronghold from the inside to the outside, and found a large number of extremely valuable equipment and equipment.According to the analysis, it should be a key item used by fanatics to activate and adjust the collective dream.Looking back, since fanatics have a fantasy immortal body, there is no need to delay Lie Que, as long as he "wakes up", he can escape.Maybe he wanted to take these things away.

It's just that these things are of great value, but they can't compare to the huge amount of spirituality he consumed to delay the list.Thinking about it this way, I feel that there is still something unsound.

Suddenly, I thought of a possibility.

Maybe that vast amount of spirituality has not been "really" consumed.

That spirituality was originally stored in the collective dream, but the time he used it to summon the demon was after Lie Que destroyed the collective dream.In other words, he completed the spiritual transfer before that.So where did he transfer it?It is likely to be transferred to another dream.

If he had transferred it to the dreamland he used to rely on his undying body, that spirituality might also have the property that it would not be really consumed.It was as if Li Yan's spirit body was safe and sound in the real world no matter how many times Li Yan's spirit body was killed in the collective dream.Spiritual bodies are, after all, aggregates of spirits, and the same reasoning must certainly apply to spirits.In other words, no matter how fanatics deplete their spirituality in the real world, the latter will remain intact in the dream world waiting to be used.

But what is the difference between this kind of thing and a perpetual motion machine?Even if a fanatic can do it, he must have limitations that I don't know about, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Liucheng to create a mass coma.

I told Lie Que my thoughts, and he nodded seriously, "This matter must also be taken seriously by the people at the headquarters."

Apart from such "big things", there is another thing that I need to pay attention to.

I found Joan outside the stronghold.Calling him to the Security Bureau today was originally for the separation ceremony. Although he was involved in the battle of the Security Bureau by accident and there were so many fierce conflicts, it was almost time for him to go to the Security Bureau. It's time for a decision.

"Have you made up your mind?" I asked, "Do you want to turn back into a human, or continue to be a succubus?"

He pondered silently, and I waited patiently, but I was also mentally prepared that he still couldn't come to a conclusion.When the protagonist of the hot-blooded comics encounters a dilemma that needs to make a major decision on his own heart, he often has already prepared the experience needed to make a decision.It's as if the detective who reasoned the story must have collected all the clues in advance when he had to tell the reasoning in public.Even if it seems that he has encountered difficulties in reasoning, it is just that he has not connected the existing clues in series for a while.

But in the real world, things are often not so just right. People often have to make decisions when they are not prepared enough, and Joan may not have the conditions to make a suitable decision.I can see that he hopes that he can be like the protagonist in the story, he can immediately clear up his confusion, and immediately transform into another self.But he doesn't need to decide his life so quickly, he can take a step back.

"Yuchi told me that if I had strength, I would not have encountered such danger before. With strength, I can also protect the people around me," he said.

"You are still a child now, there is no need to be so anxious to protect the people around you from wind and rain." I said.

"I'm almost 14." He protested softly.

"You haven't even reached the age of 14." I said, bringing the topic back on track, "So, are you going to become a succubus for this?"

"My sister and my parents really want me to be a succubus, I..." He was silent for a while, and then said my name again, "Li Duo..."

"Huh?" I responded.

He turned his head anxiously, as if expecting something from me, "Do you also think it would be better for me to become a succubus?"

"What do you think?" I still wanted to find out his inner voice.

He said blankly: "I... don't know. Although there are many problems in becoming a succubus, it is very convenient to get power..."

I can already see that although he has such and such thoughts, in general, he really doesn't want to be a succubus.On the other hand, those closest to him are looking forward to his transformation.

After becoming a succubus, all human relationships become distorted under some invisible filter, gradually tinged the same color, which in turn changes his own psyche.Those closest to him were delighted by the change, and he must have been vaguely aware of some distortion lurking in it.

Maybe, this is also the world that succubus once saw.

He is scared.I can seem to hear the small cry for help coming from his heart.

I don't intend to call his own life, and I don't want to watch him decide his own too soon.If so, what should I say to him?Or, as Li Yan said, instead of giving wrong arrangements and control, it is better to leave it to the children to decide for themselves?To properly weigh this is really very complicated and difficult to grasp the scale.

But at least, I think it is clear what I should do now.Although I still won't make decisions for him, but when he wants to refuse something but can't muster up the courage, I might as well support him behind him and provide him with a little courage.

"Go back to being human, Joan," I decided to tell him. "I want you to go back to being human."

"Really?" His shoulders finally relaxed, "I see."

He glanced at me with dependent eyes, walked to the open space in front, and took out the black disc prop from his arms.The security bureau's separation ceremony was an alternative plan based on the premise that he himself could not make up his mind to use this disc prop, and at this moment, he seemed to believe that he could already make up his mind.He raised the disc prop, closed his eyes as if praying silently, and injected spirituality into the disc prop.

The engraved black runes on the disk props gradually turned into glowing white, and gray mist slowly released from his body.

And Lie Que came behind me. He seemed to have heard our conversation just now. At this moment, he glanced at Joan who was not far away, and said to me: "Sheltered from the wind and rain... Although what you said is very reasonable, But you're not an adult either."

"Huh? I'm almost 20 years old." I said.

"It's not even 20 years old." He said.

I watched this man who was at least three times my age speechless, so I selectively ignored his words and continued to look at Joan.

The white light from the black disc became brighter and brighter, covering Joan's surroundings.In the light, the gray mist slowly gathered in front of him as if it had life, and finally formed a gray, fist-sized mist ball.I think that should be the gray that Joan once described to me.

A pair of black spots the size of mung beans appeared on the surface of the mist dumpling. The black spots blinked twice like eyes, as if they hadn't realized their situation yet.Then, when it saw Joan standing in front of it, and Lie Que and I standing not far away, it immediately "exploded" like a frightened little animal trying to hide in a safe place, panicked He threw himself into Joan's arms.

Perhaps it wanted to hide directly in Joan's body, or even return to the state of fusion with Joan, but under the influence of the disc props, it still failed after all.Joan put the glowing disc prop on the ground, then gently picked up Huihui, and slowly stroked its body.Gradually, Huihui's undulating mist body calmed down, as if he had regained his calm.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, no one here will hurt you." Joan said gently, "And... Huihui, you gave me strength before, thank you. But it's no longer needed."

Hui Hui looked at his face suspiciously.

"I want power very much, and I have also thought about why I pursue power. In fact, I have so many reasons, I want to protect my sister, my parents, and one day I want to protect Li Duo in turn, so that he feels that I am It's also very powerful... I even thought about doing something bad, but at least..." Joan thought for a while, and her voice became firm, "At least, I definitely don't pursue power just to distort my surroundings and let them distort me. "

The light of the disk prop finally reached its limit, and his horns, wings, and tail turned into gray mist as if weathered, and returned to Hui Hui's body together with the last trace of mist that was pulled out of his body.

The light gradually faded until it disappeared.He first picked up the disc props, then put Huihui on his shoulders, then smiled and waved in my direction.

Joan turned back into a human.

It wasn't until this moment that the feeling of ending finally emerged in my heart.
