Siren Blade

Chapter 272 The Final Chapter Sincerely For You
A month later, I found a way to restore the piston.

Let's start with what happened after the Nightmare Liucheng incident.

The first is the most important part, about the millions of people who evaporated in the nightmare Liucheng, they all returned to the real Liucheng safely after the nightmare Liucheng collapsed.Because Baiju originally planned to make them undead, he didn't let the demons attack them, but just moved them to the deepest part of the nightmare Liucheng.

It is said to be "deep", but from their perspective, it is actually Liucheng in the middle of the night that suddenly became empty.After they were liberated, they still remembered their mysterious experience for a period of time, and a huge public opinion storm broke out in the whole society against Liucheng, which had been turned into an empty city for a while.However, only a month has passed, and public opinion has turned to a new hot spot.It's not that the government is manipulating public opinion behind the scenes, it's just that everyone has gradually become indifferent to it.The citizens of Liucheng who experienced the huge turmoil will still talk about it from time to time in their lives, but after a while, it will completely become as if it never happened.

They don't know what threatened them, and what saved them, they just returned to their old life unchanged.Looking at these changes, I sometimes think of what Fazheng said.Is it because he is tired of such a contrast that he pursues the new world crazily?But I still don't think his approach is correct.

As for Baiju, his purpose is probably just to "go home".

Lie Que did not sacrifice himself in the battle with Fazheng, but he forced himself to activate the secret burst method under the condition of being seriously injured, and was once in a near-death situation.I heard in the hospital the other day that he was barely out of danger.Life is saved, and it will not work to fight like in the past.This time he was really seriously injured, and he could no longer return to the realm of a super main-level warlock.

Fazheng was confirmed dead.The person who killed him was not Lie Que, but Blue Bird.

In fact, Fazheng really had the upper hand in the battle with Lieque.Lie Que was originally fighting with wounds, even if he used the secret method of explosion, he could not exert the power beyond Fazheng, not to mention that Zheng used a huge demon to consume a lot of Lie Que first, and then he could win by adopting delaying tactics to slowly figure it out .Under such conditions, Lie Que still forced Fazheng to the point of exhaustion.

Compared with Lie Que, Fazheng has regarded him as an imaginary enemy since a long time ago, and has prepared countless means of restraint; not to mention that he still knows Lie Que thoroughly, and he is even more aware of Lie Que's weaknesses and possible hole cards. Knows well.With the blessing of many advantages, Fa Zheng almost killed Lie Que.

At this moment, the Blue Bird, who was far away in the Liucheng Security Bureau, sensed that Lie Que's spiritual fluctuations were being suppressed to the point of being exhausted, attacked without hesitation.For Qingniao who could transform into Thunder and grasp the road map, the distance between herself and the battlefield was just one step away, and she protected Lie Que in one breath.

In order to recover enough to fight, Blue Bird originally planned to attack after us.At this moment, although it is not entirely true that she is fully recovered, it is just that Fazheng has consumed more in the battle with Lie Que.

And Fazheng didn't expect the blue bird to appear in front of him at all. He probably thought that the blue bird had lost the ability to move because of the secret burst method last time.When it comes to real combat power, he is half a level above Jade Bird, but at this moment he has become powerless, even if he wants to escape, he can't run with Jade Bird's speed.In the end, the blue bird killed it with his own hands.

The nightmare Liucheng incident also came to an end.

It was not only Lie Que who was sent to the hospital due to serious injuries, but also me.Super-speed regeneration is the power given to me by the siren support. Although I still have an extremely fast regeneration power today, it is not so absurd in terms of recovery efficiency.And I can't absorb and burn the fragments of the spiritual body by myself, and I can't use so much spiritual power to regenerate my physical and spiritual body.

As far as the result is concerned, my spiritual body did not fall into the point of disintegration, but still suffered from quite severe burns.A burn of this degree was previously an injury that could be repaired with just a thought, but now it is a lot more troublesome.Until today, a month later, I can finally take care of myself.

The fact is the same as the "worst possibility" I thought of before, it is not me who really pays the price for the "complete combustion mode", but the siren.

Not only "Complete Burning Mode", but even "Soul Burning Mode".

In the past, I had several doubts, why I, who could not even become a warlock, can erupt such a powerful force by burning my soul?Although I have doubts, I have never delved into it.After all, I, an "ordinary person", can use the power of the true spirit that almost all warlocks cannot use. Even if there is some unscientific power hidden in the soul, it is not worth making a fuss about.Furthermore, I have probably subconsciously thought that even if the Siren really hid some destructive consequences from me with the skill "Soul Burning Mode", I am willing to use my own skills on the road to crusade against evil. All of life is borne.

But what if this power comes not primarily from my burning, but from the burning of the Sirens?
Maybe the reason why Bai Ju can't see through my "complete combustion mode" is not because my "hidden" is better than his "awareness", but simply because it is not my soul that is completely burned.

Just as I wanted to sacrifice myself for the Sirens to live, the Sirens wanted to sacrifice themselves for me to live.

I didn't notice the abnormality of "full combustion mode" until the end, probably because the siren confused my perception.Ever since I knew she could control my perception last year, I speculated that she could even control my perception in the future.It stands to reason that I would not misjudge my own life and death.Maybe it was through this trick that she made me think that it was my soul that was completely burned, and she specially fabricated the illusion that I would die because of it.

Even after guessing these things, I still have a lot of questions that I can't understand.For example, who is the Siren, why did she pay so much for me, and why she became my weapon...and what does her last sentence mean.

As for the last part, I actually had a vague answer the moment I heard it.

And her suicide note answered all my above questions.
-
There are no sirens in the siren's dream, replaced by mysterious books lying on the grass.After opening it, I just glanced at it, and I immediately understood that this was the suicide note of the Siren.

Since I decided to believe her, I have never asked her about her real background, and she never mentioned it.And when she was about to disappear, she organized her past memories into a book and left it in the dreamland waiting for me to read it.

By the way, after I killed Baiju, she got all the fragments of his spirit body, but it seems that there is no memory of Baiju in it, and I don't know if Baiju deleted them all by himself, or she was too late extract.Even if it is the latter, it is not a serious problem. Bai Ju himself said that the ritual knowledge about resurrecting "it" cannot be deleted.So she extracted it when it was about to be wiped out, and put it in the appendix of her suicide note.

Let's talk about her real history first.

In fact, the answer is already obvious, the siren is the heir of me and "it".

Strictly speaking, the Siren is not a specific offspring.There have been many descendants between me and "it" in the past, and the siren is a fused individual formed by the entanglement of the echoes of these descendants.

I mentioned this to Blue Bird before.Of course, the offspring between me and "it" are not human beings, not even humanoid, not even viviparous, but ugly and terrifying, twisted and broken oviparous monsters.Just like their mother, they have cruel and crazy habits, and love to eat human flesh.My instinct tells me that if these monsters are allowed to remain in the world, sooner or later a terrible disaster will be brewed.In addition, although I love "it" deeply, I don't have the mentality of loving my family and my offspring, so I "deal with" all of them.

Although they all have unimaginable immortality, but at that time I believed that I had completely killed them.Because my murder weapon is the Siren Blade, a terrifying weapon capable of bringing double destruction to the body and spirit.

Later, I realized that there are monsters in this world that will not really die even if their physical and spiritual bodies die.This is true for ghosts from other worlds, and it is also true for stage three undead.Even if both the physical and spiritual bodies are destroyed, they can still exist in the world in the form of "echoes" that cannot be explained by theory.Not even the Siren Blade could kill such a subject.

Under the influence of "it" in the devil period, I was an undead person in stage three, and the offspring born from the union between me and "it", how could it be possible to die easily after being destroyed by the physical and spiritual body? What about life?
Those offspring didn't really die, but turned into "echoes".At the same time, although they were full of doubts and fears when they were killed by me, they haven't had time to learn hatred when they were just born.They are still looking forward to the acceptance of me and "it", entwining around me all the time, sometimes whispering illusory ravings in my ears.They dare not approach "it", because unlike me, "it" can be aware of "resonance", and even its own essence is some kind of extremely terrifying "resonance".

It's just that even they can't think completely in the pure "echo" form. In fact, "echo" is not a form of existence that can retain rationality. Just pain and despair.And the reason why they can still "hope" and "babble" is because after being killed by me, they retain some of their own spirit body fragments.

Absorbing, devouring, and digesting spirit fragments was not the power of the Siren Blades from the beginning, but their power.The spirits killed by the Siren's Blade will turn into countless fragments, and after they are killed, they keep some of their own spirit fragments, thereby preserving their thinking ability.

Now, however, the Siren's spirit body has been completely burned even to fragments, and she is in pure echo form.From now on, she can only maintain this distorted form in a daze forever—if nothing happens.

Closer to home, at the end of the demon period, I was arrested by Lie Que and trapped in a healing dream.And they wanted to be useful to me, so they rolled up the remaining fragments of the spirit body and integrated themselves, turning into the "Ren Sai" I saw in the healing dream.

Thinking about it now, she had already given hints about her true identity at that time.She said that her spirit body has been damaged to the point where there are almost only echoes left, and later, if I can combine the information about ghosts from other worlds and undead people in stage three, I can easily deduce that "those descendants are still alive" Possibility, even directly associated with Siren.

However, I never thought of this layer.Is it because there are not enough clues?Or is it because my reasoning skills are not strong enough to reason to this level?Maybe there are such factors, but I know what the main reason is.

It's just because I really don't care about them, and I basically don't even remember them.

After all, are they really "monsters with cruel and insane habits and a penchant for eating human flesh"?The siren that appeared in front of me has never shown cruel and crazy habits, and judging from the performance on New Year's Eve, the siren has never refused ordinary food like "it".

So, could they just be imitating me, imitating their own mother?
The reason why the sirens have been resisting revealing their true identity to me is because they are afraid of being abandoned by me, or even killed by me again.So even if it's a weapon, it's okay, or the position of a weapon might make her feel more at ease.

Because she is born with the immortality of stage three undead, so even if I die, she will not die.Yet she always emphasized to me that if I die, she dies too.This is because in her view, she must be something that lives and dies with me in order to gain my unconditional trust.

She worried that if I realized that she was actually an independent individual who "can live without me", I would re-examine her with suspicion, and re-examine this unknown person lurking inside me who can manipulate my perception .In fact, she probably understood later that I would not do that, but she was extremely afraid of even the one in ten thousand chance.She couldn't forget the desperate memory of being stared at indifferently by me and "it", no matter how much she shouted, it was useless.

But she still longed for my approval and wanted to be embraced by me.

I recalled the conversation I had with her in the original siren dream, when she first appeared in front of me and announced her family name to me.

——Who are you?

—I am the light of your life, the fire of your desire,

—Your sin, your soul.

The voice of the past seemed to echo in my ears.Yeah, what you said is not bad at all.

You are the crystallization of my life and desire, the embodiment of my sin and soul.It is my irredeemable past, and it is also what I must make up for in the future.

I want a revival of the Pistons, and I've seen concrete promise.

For this reason, I must first fulfill the agreement with Jade Bird, and I must first revive "it".
-
Naturally, I also told Qingniao all about the whole story of the battle with Baiju and the truth about the sirens.

Knowing that I originally wanted to die with Baiju, Qingniao naturally couldn't calm down.And after hearing that I had injected "pollution" into her body, she showed an extremely nervous expression.

But now I have not become an undead person. It is estimated that the siren transferred the "pollution" to myself.

In the past, I fought the old bone to the brink of death, and then threw myself into a lake under the nameless mountain.At that time, I was actually an undead person in stage three, and in order to prevent me from falling into "death", the Siren did one thing, which was to reawaken my Siren Blade.

"It" can tap my spirit power, and so can the Siren.Even the Siren went a step further by becoming one with my Siren Blade by possessing it, making the Siren Blade a fully awakened power.To describe it, the "it" in the past just helped me open the door to power, so that I could borrow the things behind the door; while the Sirens occupied the things behind the door, and then dedicated themselves and that thing together gave me.

After merging with the Siren Blade, the Siren has certain special attributes, such as being able to simultaneously master the spells I have mastered, and can also support me with my own power, and can also transfer the curse I have received. To Siren Blade and more.

Because "pollution" has a curse-like nature, I once wondered if the siren transferred the "pollution" of my stage three undead.And I later withdrew this idea, the time was not right.The ability of Siren Awakening came after the Fog Incident in Day Town, and after the Old Bones incident, I was no longer undead.

And from Siren's suicide note, I have learned that she has this transfer ability from the beginning.Thinking about it carefully, her ability to transfer curses is also a bit strange, because her other abilities are obtained through her own learning and development, but the ability to transfer curses appears as she grows up.Since her growth will bring new abilities, why didn't this phenomenon continue to appear after that?It is said that it has the ability from the beginning, but it is not so inconsistent.

Her purpose of concealing this information is to artificially design this "time does not match" conclusion.Because if I know the existence of "pollution" in the future, I will realize that she obtained the undead body of stage three by transferring "pollution", and judge her as an independent individual who "can live without me".And she didn't want me to have that judgment.

Of course, even if the "pollution" is not transferred, she still has the undead body of stage three.As a price, she has fallen into a distorted form now.

Every second she wasn't alive was hell for me, as if invisible blades were slowly and delicately shredding my body.I thought, if there was a fate to punish me, why did it fall on the siren.Or is it not the so-called fate that will really punish me, but the sirens?

According to past experience, the stage three undead who turned into "echo" is irreversible, but I saw an exception in the Siren.

What needs to be explained is that although the Siren is now invisible, it is still attached to the Siren Blade, so I can continue to summon the Siren Blade.And these days, I have noticed that the spirit fragments stored inside the Siren Blade are decreasing for no reason and in a small amount, and I have vaguely captured the extremely subtle spiritual fluctuations of the Siren.

I soon realized the truth of this anomaly.I'm afraid, this is something that even Siren himself didn't predict.

The Siren has the power to devour the souls of those killed by the Siren Blade, but after a closer look, why does she have such power?I think this is likely to come from "it" genetics.For "it" with a body, spreading death by devouring people who died because of itself is also a part of imitating creatures, and the siren, as the offspring of "it" with that body, eating is not for her Imitation is instinct.

For ghosts from other worlds, "echo" is their most natural form, and neither flesh nor spirit is their essence, so they don't necessarily need flesh or spirit to exert their instincts.As a creature close to ghosts from other worlds, the siren can continue to eat souls instinctively even if she only has "echoes".

As long as you stay inside the Siren Blade and continue to eat the fragments of the spirit body, the Siren can restore its own spirit body and come back to life.

However, perhaps because her current form is too weak, this recovery speed is really too slow.According to my calculations, it will definitely not work this year, at least until the middle of next year.I only have the last few months of my life left and can't wait for such a long time.

Unless I first revive "it" and prolong my life.

I thought I would go through a huge struggle, but actually made this decision very quickly.I immediately decided to implement this method.

To be honest, even if the siren can be resurrected immediately, I plan to extend my life a little bit.Because I not only want to bring her back to life, I also want her to be loved and embraced, and I want to do my best to take care of this child.

So here's my utterly selfish wish: I want to live a little longer for a while.

In the middle of April, in the morning, I went through the formalities of being discharged from the hospital.

In the future, I must take on the responsibility of monitoring and managing ghosts from other worlds, and provide "it" with my own fresh heart regularly every day.Before the siren is revived, it will be a bit difficult, because my own regeneration will not be able to keep up.But as long as I have many magic resources from the Security Bureau and cooperate with my strong regenerative power, it is not difficult to solve this problem.

Blue Bird prepared all the ritual materials needed to revive the siren, and climbed up the Wuming Mountain with me.

We are all 20 years old now, and the blue bird has a new white carnation hair accessory on the side of his hair.

"In the end, the one who saved you was not me, but that child." Blue Bird sighed.

"I always thought I was saving you." As she said that, she turned her head and looked at me, "But I often think about whether my kindness is just imposed on you. From your eyes, Could it be that I am actually a person who is full of malice towards you?"

"Nothing like that," I said from the bottom of my heart, "Thank you for taking me to my parents and thank you for hugging me."

Without Jade Bird, not only would I not be able to take this step today, I would not even be able to take the first step.There is no doubt that the blue bird saved me.

She will probably say to me next time, "What are you thanking me for?"However, this is indeed my sincere thanks without any hypocrisy or politeness.

But she didn't say that, but was a little uneasy.I knew what she was thinking, so I took her hand gently.

"Do you remember that question I asked you in the past?" she asked uneasily. "I know this question will be difficult for you, so it's okay if you don't answer it."

"No matter what you ask, I will answer." I said seriously.

"Then I'm going to ask." She took a deep breath.

"Ask." I said.

"In your eyes, which one is more important, me or the sea monster?" She asked anxiously, "Or if you can only choose one between me and the sea monster, who do you want to choose?"

This is indeed a question she has asked before, last time I was caught off guard, even at a loss, and the blue bird at that time stopped asking as if she could see my hesitation.

But this time, I will not hesitate.

"I choose you." I said.

When I said these words, I felt as if the last shackles in my heart had fallen off, as if I had finally woken up from something.

"—En." Hearing this, she seemed to be finally freed from something, showing a sunny smile.

She took my hand and said, "Well, let's get started."

"Aren't you worried that I'll be charmed?" I asked.

"Now you, definitely not." She said.

In order to deceive people, we found an open space far away from the mountain road, and arranged the magic circle and materials for the ceremony here. Finally, we took the severed hand of "it" out of the miniature space and placed it in the center of the magic circle.

Indigo light began to emerge around the severed hand, gradually weaving a huge egg.

After a while, the huge egg was fully formed, and a fetal movement was brewed from inside.

I recalled that night a few years ago, when I couldn't find the missing blue bird, I could only wander hungry in the forest at night.

And today, Jade Bird and I came to this place hand in hand.It was noon at this time, the sun was just above the head, and the sun was shining warmly and goldenly on the grass. The feeling of hunger and cold in the past seemed like a distant dream.

Despite all the pain I've been through, I don't hate "it".

In countless dark corners, demons and monsters who don't know what hugs are, repeated hugs for an unknown number of times.And now, thanks to Jade Bird, I already know what a hug is.So, maybe this is a wild idea, if "it" can also know, that would be a good thing.In this way, maybe I can also call "she" instead of "it".

After a period of time, the fetal movement of the giant egg stopped and it burst open from the lower half.A large amount of amniotic fluid poured out, bringing out the upper body of the creature inside.

I walked up to it slowly, and it raised its face and stared at me quietly.

Under the immoral and scheming gaze, I took out the clothes I prepared in advance and put them on its body.
