Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 196 As long as it is alive, I will kill it for you

By night.

Surrounded by groggy darkness, today even the sound of footsteps walking in the corridor cannot be heard.

On a night that was as calm as a lake standing deep in the mountains, the two rituals were thinking about their conversation with the woman who claimed to be a speech therapist.

No, exactly that last sentence.

"Why did Orikai die instead of Shiki?"

Ori who answered this question is no longer around.

Weaving who is no longer there.Why did he disappear?What is it exchanged for, and why should it disappear?

Unlike Shiki who dominates her body most of the time, Ori likes to dream and always falls asleep for it.However, he, who likes to dream, gave up even the act of dreaming, and died on that rainy night.

The self that will never be seen again, the self that has never been seen from the beginning.The person named Zhizhi is the real self...

Consciousness is becoming increasingly blurred.

I want to go to the conclusion that Oriza reached, but I'm just looking back at my memory.

The door of the ward opened.

Dull, slow footsteps gradually approaching.

Is it a nurse?No, it's past midnight.

If it's a visitor, it's—

At that moment, human hands wrapped around Shiki's neck.The cold palm and the neck bone that wanted to be broken gradually increased their strength.

"what."

The pressure on the neck made Shi-shi gasp.

I can't breathe, my throat is strangled, and if it continues like this, the posture of being strangled will be broken one step before I can't breathe.

Shiki stared at each other with invisible eyes.

...not...human.

No, the shape is human.However, the human being who pressed on her body and stuck her neck should no longer be a living person.

The dead are driven by unknown forces to attack the ritual on the bed.

The force that strangled the neck did not stop.Although Shishi grabbed the opponent's hands to resist, the difference in strength was clear at a glance.

Wait, isn't this exactly what I want?

It was difficult to breathe, and Shiki stopped struggling with his face flushed.

It's good to be killed just like that, even if there is no point in living.The feeling of not being alive but still exists, that is pain, it is better to just disappear.

Strength increased.

In fact, a few seconds did not pass, time seemed to become very slow, flowing slowly like rubber.

The neck of the deceased was strangled, without body temperature, and the fingers like wood were stuck in the throat.

There is no mercy for this kind of murder, and there is no will from the beginning.

The skin on the neck was cracked.The blood shed was the surest proof that he was still alive.

Die...die like weaving...abandon life.

throw it away?This word brings back the consciousness of style.

Suddenly a question arose.

After all, did he die happily?

Yeah, he shouldn't think that way.

Whatever the reason, does his consciousness really exist in it?

Should not, to seek death.

Because... death is obviously so lonely and worthless.

Death is obviously so dark and disgusting.

Death is obviously more frightening than anything else.

"sorry."

In an instant, Shiki's body was injected with vitality.

Grasp the wrist of the deceased with both hands, and kick the victim's abdomen from below with one foot.

"I, just thinking of falling into that place makes me sick...!"

Kicking desperately at the hunk of flesh, the dead man's hands, covered in skin and blood, came away from the neck.

Shi got up from the bed.

The deceased immediately rushed to the ceremony.

In the unlit ward, the living and the dead wrestle together.

The body of the deceased was that of an adult man, two heads taller than Shiki.No matter how hard he tried, Shiki was still at a disadvantage.

Both hands were caught, Shiki kept backing away, and in the narrow room, he quickly hit the wall.

The moment she hit the wall, Shiki prepared herself, and she consciously turned her back to the window where she could escape.

This strategy is made at the beginning of the battle.

The problem is—this is on the third floor, which is about ten meters above the ground.

"Do not hesitate."

Saying that to himself, Shiki let go of the dead man's hands.

The dead man stretched his hand towards her neck.Sooner than that, she opened the window with her free hand.Just like that, the two entangled together and fell towards the outside.

The moment it fell.

Grabbing the dead man's collarbone, he threw it underneath.Now the dead body is facing the ground, and Shiki is on top of it.Soon the ground was within sight.

The blindfolded Shiki jumped up without hesitation, even though she couldn't see her, her intuition was still accurate.

The body of the deceased was knocked down in the flower bed in front of the ward building, and Shiki's body jumped out horizontally before landing, and slid to the atrium a considerable distance away.

Amidst the flying dust, the girl in a hospital gown landed on all fours. Even if she landed with a skill she had never done before, Shiki's limbs were still paralyzed by gravity.

The night was still so silent, as if nothing had happened.

Shi lay on the cold and hard ground, motionless, just feeling the pain from his throat.

"Ah... I am still alive."

And... the dead man is not dead yet.

Since he didn't want to die, it was clear what he should do - kill before being killed.

Just thinking about it made the emptiness in his chest disappear.At the same time, all kinds of emotions gradually faded away.

"what the hell."

Mumbling to himself, Shiki figured it out.

The answer is obviously that simple, and I am an idiot for worrying about it for so long.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind Shiki.

"Scare me, are you a cat?"

Shiki didn't look back, desperately enduring the impact of landing on the ground.

"It's you, why are you here?"

The life consultant who claimed to be a magician answered the question in a boring tone.

"Because I want to monitor you, I think it's about time for something to happen, so I'm going to try my luck—hey, there's no time to rest. Is it a hospital, or can find useful corpses. Those guys can only be found by the spirit Only when the body enters something with a substance can it exert its power, so I plan to use the corpse to kill you and then possess it."

"Whether it's that or this, it's you who arranged the chess pieces."

Said Shiki, still prostrate on the ground.There, the previous confusion has disappeared like a mote of dust.

"Oh, you already know. Well, this is indeed my mistake. Although I made a barrier to prevent the spirit body from entering, it borrowed a body to bypass the barrier. Generally speaking, those guys should There is no such wisdom."

Orange laughed happily.

"Then you should quickly find a way."

"clear."

With a snap, Cheng Zi snapped his fingers, and the flame of the cigarette engraved words in mid-air.

The words overlap with the body of the deceased like a projector.

The distant place formed by a straight line, the magic engraving in the distant world, the circuit of calling the engraving was activated, and suddenly——the body of the dead person who had fallen on the ground burst into flames.

"It seems that the power of pure Fruen is not enough." Orange said to himself.

The dead man surrounded by flames slowly stood up.For some reason, even though its feet had been broken, it was still able to walk. It seemed that it could control its feet with only its muscles, and walked towards Shiki unsteadily.

The flames disappeared in a short while.

"Hey... you liar."

"Don't get excited, it's very difficult to completely destroy a human body. For a living person, burning the heart can solve it. But it doesn't work for the dead, because they are already dead, so it doesn't matter whether they lose their hands or their heads. The pistol This level of violence is impossible to wipe out human beings, do you understand? To stop it, you can only prepare firepower on the scale of a crematorium, or call in an expert in exorcism... Really, why doesn't that guy come here? It's easy for him to destroy something like this."

"Anyway, you just can't do it."

It seems that Cheng Zi has been greatly traumatized by his speech.

"You can't do it either. Because the deceased is already dead, I can't kill it. Unfortunately, although I can kill people with the weapons I have, I can't make them disappear. It's still the best policy here."

Cheng Zi stepped back, but Shiki didn't move.

It wasn't because I broke my foot falling from the third floor.

She just smiled mockingly.

"It doesn't matter whether it's dead or not, since it can move the corpse, it still means it's still 'alive', as long as it's a living thing—"

Standing up from a prostrate position, it is the posture of a carnivore with its back bent and attacking its prey.

She touched her throat.

The blood was flowing, the skin was cracked, and the marks of being strangled still remained.

But still alive.

That feeling makes people trance.

"—No matter what it is, I will kill it for you to see!"

Gently, he untied the bandage covering his eyes.In the darkness, the magic eye of death is there.

The slender feet stepped on the ground.

For the approaching pose, the deceased stretches out his arms.

Like a piece of paper, Shiki tore the dead with one hand.

With a slash from the right shoulder, her hand pierced through the left waist, and the phalanx was twisted into several sections, but in exchange for several times and dozens of times the damage of the deceased.

The dead fell to the ground as if the thread of manipulation had been cut.Even so, it seemed that only the left wrist was still entangled with silk thread, and the dead man who fell on the ground grabbed Shiki's ankle.

That wrist was crushed by Shiki without hesitation.

"It's just a collection of 'death', get out of my face."

sneered.

live.It was just deceiving my heart before, only at this moment can I feel the real feeling of being alive very clearly.

"Mode!"

Chengzi called out the girl's name and threw something at her.

It was a silver-colored, undecorated dagger.

Shiki pulled out the dagger stuck in the ground, and looked down at the dead man who was immobile like a praying mantis.

Just like that, she stabbed the dead man's throat with a dagger.

The deceased trembled for a moment and then stopped moving.

but--

"Idiot, if you want to kill, stab the body!"

Faster than Cheng Zi's reprimand, the mutation appeared.

The moment Shishi stabbed at the corpse, a mist flew out from the corpse.Mist desperately disappeared into Shiki's body as if trying to escape.

"..." knelt down on the ground.

They were unable to possess Shiki because of her consciousness before, and they invaded her body at the moment when Shiki lost himself in the exaltation he gained when killing people.

"Isn't the attack thorough enough, idiot?"

Orange ran over.

However Shiki's body made a gesture.

That meant not to approach, so Cheng Zi stopped.

Shiki held the dagger with both hands, pointing the tip at his chest.With a strong will, he took back the already empty eyes.

His teeth bit his lips firmly.

The tip of the knife touched his chest.

Whether her will or her body, she oppresses the undead with nowhere to go.

"That way you can't escape."

Not to anyone, but to himself.

Shiki stared directly at the foreign object squirming inside him, what was pierced was Shiki's body.However, that was just killing the sundries that shouldn't exist, and Shiki was sure that he would never hurt himself.

So, she poured strength into her hands.

"I, I want to kill the cowardly me. I will never give the two rituals... to something like you."

The short knife slid into her chest.
