Ash put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and looked at the skyline hidden in the steel jungle. The branches with fallen leaves were covered with snowflakes.
There was a bookstore in front of him. Ash glanced at it and his eyes stayed on the poster for a moment.
The poster shows a mysterious person sitting on a high chair wearing dark Gothic clothing. She lowers her head and holds a chain in both hands. Her age and gender cannot be identified. Behind her, there are hundreds of people sitting on high chairs.
Stab the ghost giant on the bench. The ghosts are covered in ulcers and look horrified. Without exception, their hands and feet are shackled. The chains of the shackles are gathered together and connected with the chains on the mysterious man's hands.
Ghost Manual: There is always evil without reason in this world, and there are always demons that go against the grain.J.
Ash looked away, thinking that this surprise was quite consistent with Vichy's true image. After all, she really had a soul-locking spirit.
Vichy is a bad guy, a demon in human skin, he thought silently.
Having lost a quarter of his soul, Ash vaguely felt that he had lost a lot of memories, including all the memories about Vichy.
He simply forgot everything about Vichy, and all traces of her in his memory were deleted. Even if Ash had discovered that there were inexplicable gaps in his memory, he could not fill in the damaged parts with Vichy... let alone know about her.
What role did you play in your past?
But he couldn't talk about it. If it was revealed that he sold a quarter of his soul in hell, Sword Girl and the others would never allow him to continue his adventure in the six hells. He actually knew that the girls didn't believe it.
From what they have said, at least they absolutely do not believe that there is no risk at all in picking up trash in hell.
It's just that Ya Xiu insisted on showing off his strength and seemed to be fine, so they were willing to follow Ya Xiu's wishes.
Fortunately, he was the only one who could enter hell. Fortunately, it was his illusory soul that was sold, otherwise Ashiu wouldn't be the only one who would be troubled.
It's not that Ash doesn't want to rely on the girls. He tells them almost all the truth except for the spiritual transaction. But since they are destined to be unable to help with some things, what's the point of telling them except to increase their self-blame and troubles?
They must go to the six hells, and there is nothing they can do about the soul-trading at the critical moment, but besides hating their own inability to do so in reality, what else can they do?
In the cage of the stars, on that night chasing the speeding train, Ya Xiu had chewed the words "powerless" over and over again... If he could really rely on them, Ya Xiu would never sacrifice alone to move himself.
, he doesn’t like those tragic dramas; but if he can’t share this responsibility, then this trouble should belong to him alone. After all, he can’t have to go to the six hells to fight for his life, and then return to reality and have to appease Sword Girl.
Their emotions, right?
Ash felt like he was a terminally ill patient. He went to hell to fight the disease with Death Maniac, and when he returned to reality, he relied on Sword Princess and the others to heal his body and mind.
But compared to the quarter of his soul that was betrayed, Vichy is the source of Ash's current troubles.
Because his knowledge of Vichy was completely blank, Ash could only make insinuations about Vichy's situation from other people. In addition to Sword Girl, he also secretly visited the Witch and Silver Lantern in the past two days, but the attitudes of the three of them were unexpected.
Unexpectedly consistent.
You can use Ghost Seer.
You can also play with the devil maid.
But trusting Vichy is absolutely not an option.
The witch used the gospel spirit to help Ash search Vichy's past resume. Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg extracted from the ghost manual, the crimes inside were shocking enough.
T Killing and refining souls is Vichy's way of practice, and it is also her craziest sin. You must know that no matter how bad the necromancer is, he only kills people and takes their corpses, but Vichy not only kills enemies, but also refines their souls and uses them.
The desperate energy that erupted during their pain was used as the material for casting spells. Not only could the dead souls not be able to return to hell, they would not be able to escape even if they were tortured until the last moment.
To borrow a famous saying from "Handbook of Ghosts", death is not the end of despair, but the beginning of nightmare. J.
Yin Deng didn’t say much to Ash. She just mentioned a small thing during her intimacy with Ash: the end of Senluo and her sacrifice. Although the main reason was the three gods of white dove, fire, cat and blue bird, this did not hinder her.
Full of disgust for Vichy.
The three gods wanted to exterminate Senluo out of desperation, and she was blameless, but Vichy came to seize the gods entirely out of personal selfishness. This demon not only promoted the end of the world, but also almost killed the two of them on the 18th floor of the Silent Spiral!
If Ya Xiu could not completely control Vichy, and Vichy's value was indeed great, and she had helped Ash a lot, if any of these three conditions were missing, Silver Lantern would not have allowed Vichy to continue to live.
"I don't mind serving you with her," Weisel said with a gentle and sweet voice as she held Ash in her arms last night.
Of course, Vichy is not only guilty of evil deeds, otherwise she would not stay with them. At least during the period when Ash dominated Vichy, Vichy did help Ash a lot, such as the secret poison of hell, and breaking through the star cage.
plans, such as the demigod promotion ceremony... Vichy lives and dies with him, no less than other operators.
That's why Ash is in such a depressed mood.
The way to manage Vichy is very simple, that is, treat her as a dangerous tool, use it when it is necessary, and destroy it when it is not useful. Any feelings for her will become a loophole for her to corrode her shackles... She is not a human being, she is
Ruthless natural disasters are the demons of chaos, synonymous with cruelty.
It can be seen from the attitudes of others that Ash has managed Vichy in this way before, with vigilance and fear), although he is cautious but at the same time he is determined to die together. There are some people in this world, the more you get to know them, the more you feel in your heart
The murderous intent becomes stronger.
However, Ash lost those memories.
Wariness, fear, and determination, these complex emotions were packaged together with memories and sold to the madman. In Ash's heart, there was only a simple emotion left that he was unwilling to admit, but had no choice but to do anything about.
In front of the traffic light, Ash sighed softly, let out a breath of white mist, and followed the flow of people across the highway.
There was an outdoor cafe on the sidewalk opposite. Ash took one look at it and immediately raised his eyebrows. He walked over and said hello: "Why are you here?"
Felix held the hot coffee in her hand and drank it in small sips, but it seemed that it was still too hot. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and blow air. She looked up at Ash and said, "I'm lazy, I don't want to leave."
"Did you pass by here too?"
"Well," Felix took out a map from his navy blue trench coat, looked at it and said, "Look, my and your search areas overlap here."
"Ash nodded, and then he looked at the traffic outside in the wind and snow, not knowing what he was thinking. Felix ignored him and moved her nose. She smelled the aroma of baking in the cafe, and she looked around.
Then he raised his hand and said: V, please have a piece of lava core cake."
"Is there any sweet drink here?" Ash suddenly asked, "It's not bitter at all."
Felix glanced at him, "Only sweet milk meets your requirements... Are you a child? You can't even drink coffee?"
"One sweet milk, one lava core cake." Ash didn't mind being called naive at all. He sat opposite Felix, lightly clasping his fingers on the wooden table, holding his cheek with his left hand, staring blankly at the falling snowflakes.
.
There was silence for a while, and after the drinks and desserts were served, Felix suddenly said quietly: "If you don't want to talk, can you go to the next table? This will make me quite embarrassed..."
Ya Xiu struggled for a while before he made up his mind and said, "I want to ask you a question."
"I actually really don't mind if you go to the next table..."
"If there is a person whose outlook and behavior you are completely disgusted with and find it unacceptable from the bottom of your heart." Ash poked the lava core cake with a spoon and said, "But you like that person for some reason, what would you do?
'"
Felix held the coffee cup in both hands and looked at him with dazzling eyes, speechless for a moment.
