Chapter 675: The Suzaku Divine Envoy(1/2)
Chapter 675 Suzaku Divine Envoy
The moment the mask breaks.
Ian was stunned when he saw Chu Ling's true appearance. He had walked in the world for more than a hundred years and had never seen a woman with such a stunning appearance.
He could no longer imagine——
How delicious would the soul of such a stunningly beautiful girl taste like?
However!
The moment he bit down, he realized something was wrong!!
Under the ritual of life sacrifice, biting the soul is just an illusion. The real meaning is "transfer of life." Since the immortality technique he mastered is incomplete, a large amount of life force will flow into the void.
In a ceremony, what I can receive is only one-twentieth of the life of the person being imbued.
But this is enough, this girl looks to be less than twenty.
Even if I only live another sixty years.
I can also gain three more years of life...
But after taking this first bite, there was a feeling of "failure". Ian felt as if he had gained nothing... Was it an illusion?
He quickly took a second bite!
Nothing happened. His "life span" barely increased at all. Maybe... it increased by just a few dozen minutes? In the long river of time he had experienced, these few dozen minutes were really like a flower.
spray.
There will be no splashing water.
But soon the “exciting” stuff comes!
Ian's pupils contracted and he grunted. He felt a large amount of "memories" coming from him. Involuntarily, they poured into his spiritual sea. This was the "price" of taking two bites, and it was something he had to bear. He couldn't help it.
Avoid "draining", there is no free lunch in this world, if you want to eat up the "life" of the person being sucked, you need to eat the corresponding memory.
It seems that this is a good thing.
But in fact, on the contrary, it was a disaster.
The longer a person lives, the longer his memory... For an antique like Ian who has lived for 121 years, his spirit has already aged, and his memory space has been filled up.
If you swallow a life span, it means swallowing a memory.
Then his spiritual sea will be filled with a large number of "memories"... He will gradually forget who he really is, and gradually lose his "self" in the memory war in the spiritual sea.
Immortality, this is the most powerful forbidden technique in the world.
Its side effects and costs must be the most terrifying.
…
…
Chu Ling didn't resist. She even stretched out a hand to hold down Gu Shen who was about to take action.
"I feel... my life has diminished."
She said calmly: "About one day missing."
One day is not too little for her.
The life she has is even shorter than Xia Chan.
A complete life cycle only lasts for more than ten days.
Gu Shen was a little hesitant. He looked at the "monstrous formation" emitting blood fluctuations. If Chu Ling hadn't stopped him, he would have tried to interrupt this evil sacrifice of life transfer...
He respects Chu Ling and understands Chu Ling's intention to stop him.
"This formation seems to be the beginning of everything...but in fact, everything is over."
Chu Ling said in a very soft voice: "From the moment he took the first bite."
She could feel that it was not just life that was passing away.
Also, memory.
A massive amount of data that cannot be described in words.
The data, which could almost crush the hard drive of an entire room, crazily crept into Ian's head. In just a moment, the young man's face turned red and it became difficult to even breathe.
A strange picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
A train flashing with electric light roared past the bottom of the endless sea.
Then there were mountains, snowfields, deserts, blue seas, and tens of millions of cutscenes. This was the surveillance picture captured by the [Deep Sea] eyes. These pictures poured into Ian's mind in an instant, and they were still there.
Continuously dividing, the power of the Immortality Technique forcefully dragged him into the soul sea of the original owner of this life, allowing him to experience the original scene of the birth of these memories.
These are the lowest and most useless junk data in Chu Ling's spiritual world.
Ian's forehead had bulging veins and his eyes were bulging.
"Who are you……"
Ian stared at Chu Ling, and he suddenly understood.
Unfortunately, at this moment, his mind has been filled with massive data, and his own thinking space has been squeezed to the extreme. Even talking has become a luxury.
He tried his best to speak.
"Who are you!!!"
The next moment, there was a "bang"——
His head exploded!
All this happened without warning and extremely suddenly.
The bloody formations in the room dissipated at the most intense moment, and the countless scarlets stopped surging and slowly calmed down.
There was just a layer of blood covering the ground, making the scene inside the cellar look weird and miserable.
I'm afraid no one can imagine that Ian, who has been calculating and shrewd his whole life, will end up like this...
Such an ending is really ironic.
"You've guessed it?"
Gu Shen looked at the fallen headless corpse with a complicated expression.
"He ate not only 'life', but also memories." Chu Ling lowered his eyebrows and said slowly: "No one in this world can carry my memories... He will definitely be strangled to death. From eating
From the first bite, it was destined to be like this.”
Blood flowed in front of the two of them.
It also flowed to the withered wheelchair.
An aging body began to tremble violently.
After Ian's death, his "mental control" over his disciple Hooper was also released... The smell of blood stimulated Hooper, who knew very well what it meant for him to wake up.
It's just that now he can no longer hear, see, or speak.
Even my own spirit cannot be passed on.
"Mr. Hooper..."
Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart. He tapped his finger to stir up a ray of fire, which hit Hooper's eyebrows and shared the scene he saw with this "poor man" who had only a short time left.
Ian died, burdened with overwhelming sins, and fell in a pool of blood.
No one tried to kill him.
What killed him was his own greed.
This way of death seems a bit advantageous to him, but for a "greedy person" who is trying his best to live for a few more years, this way of death is the most frustrating and painful.
He could feel the uncontrollable excitement in Hooper's spirit at this moment!
This young disciple came to Linz to serve and follow him because he sincerely admired the talent and moral character of Archmaester Ian. However, not long after, he was killed by Ian using the "immortality technique" and was tied to the prison.
In the wheelchair, he lost his five senses and six consciousnesses, and became a living dead.
Today, he was finally able to see it. He saw the fate of "Ian"!
The fragile body was shaking violently.
"Thank you... thank you..."
Hooper tried his best to convey such a voice in the spiritual sea.
Just by delivering such a sentence, he exhausted the little remaining strength.
The old body in the wheelchair stopped all movements, and its palms slowly lowered...
Chu Ling stretched out her hand, tried to breathe, and then shook her head at Gu Shen.
Hooper died too.
To be continued...
