Chapter 24: Demon Spirit
"Because of you, my whole life has been ruined!"
Hatred.
"My father, my mother, my family, all because of you, because of you, because of you, this kind of person…"
Anger.
"You, this kind of person, you shouldn't even exist! I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Intent to kill.
Beating, screaming in pain, collisions, tearing apart, liquid splashing.
When facing death; the cracking of bones breaking; the flow of blood splattering; rest in peace when life is extinguished.
Out of the narrow garage door, walked a swaying figure.
Guan Ling's upper body was covered in blood, gripping a blood-stained knife, eyes lifeless, struggling to walk.
Clang… The knife fell on the ground.
She fell to the ground, as if she had lost all her strength.
The scoundrel died.
The good person also died.
Bai Wei walked out from the shadows and extended his hand towards her, asking, "Can you stand up?"
Guan Ling's gaze fell on his palm, and she stayed stunned for quite a while.
After a while, her eyes regained some vitality.
"I, I…"
She realized what she had done and spoke with difficulty.
She tried several times, but couldn't speak. The consequences of the huge mental pressure that was released were not entirely pleasant. The following nausea, guilt, and sense of wrongdoing almost shattered what little rational defense remained.
When she shed blood and killed with her own hands, she had already broken with the past.
[Avengers]
[All sins will be repaid in blood, no matter what, until death]
Bai Wei could not dispel her sense of guilt and mental pressure, so he gently placed his palm on her hair and slowly massaged it.
"Say goodbye to the past."
"The road to the future is still very long."
"It's like a bad dream, everything will get better."
This is also a part of growing up, but the growth you experience will leave deeper and more enduring pains.
Guan Ling covered her face with her hands, while her hair was gently stroked. She knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, as the sound of her cries was drowned out by the waves and sea breeze.
["People can cry when they are sad."]
["After crying, it's time to grow up."]
["Growing up is not about maturity, the process of growth is accompanied by pain, and the more intense the growth, the more painful it is."]
Perhaps she was really too tired, and drifted off into a tearful slumber.
Bai Wei lifted her up on his back, and glanced at the scene inside the garage.
Daizuke Nishimura is definitely dead, but the scene is truly gruesome.
He was contemplating whether to burn everything here, but suddenly caught a whiff of an unusual scent.
A pungent and putrid odor.
On the body of the deceased Daizuke Nishimura, a red color was spilling out, and he was quite certain that was something not of this world.
The red color resembled a twisted and bloated tumor, outlining a grotesque screaming face.
"No, I can't die yet."
"I don't want to die, don't want to die!"
"I still want to live, to survive…"
Obsessed with life, wanting to continue living, clinging to life, indulging in desires.
The twisting obsession emanating from the deceased Daizuke Nishimura is closer to a demon than a vengeful ghost in appearance.
[Spiritual Beast Egg]
[Overall Level 7]
[Obsession Parasite]
The symbol below the exclamation mark is so clear, it is certainly not a product of normal creation.
Those who die carrying immense resentment will transform into vengeful ghosts, not only in Yingzhou, but also in the folk stories of the Ming Country, such as the legend of the "Wu Pen Ji" (The Story of the Black Basin) …
However, once it involves spirits, it means that they were already manipulated before death, and these traits have only surfaced after their passing.
Bai Wei stared at the Demon Egg as he saw it suddenly twist in a different direction.
"A new physical body!"
"Give me your body!"
It roared as it charged towards Bai Wei, resembling a facehugger that couldn't wait to parasitize its host.
"Idiot." Bai Wei kicked the garage door and Daimon closed it, blocking the facehugger egg.
Daimon made a banging sound, accompanied by screaming.
He bent over and picked up the blood-stained cleaver, then quickly carved ancient runes on the ground with blood stains.
Divine runic language, belonging to the Judgement branch.
The carving of more than ten runes was completed in just under five seconds.
Bai Wei pressed the ground with one hand and spoke coldly.
"You are a heretic!"
"Subject to the punishment of burning at the stake!"
The pardon of judgement, and flames burst forth.
He doesn't look like a clergyman with unwavering faith, yet he was able to cast intermediate level judgment spells just by relying on his writing and pardons.
Bai Wei never cared about the source of power system, as long as it works. The grand name of the Flame Judgment Officer shook the continent of Europa, and non-human races trembled at the sound of it. Whether it was to strike at non-human or non-god groups or to obliterate evidence, this move was too useful.
The raging fire engulfed the garage, burning the corpse and the demon egg to ashes. The flame tornado rushed into the sky, forming a huge and magnificent fiery cross.
Bai Wei clenched his fist without any sense of loss.
He thought to himself that the unwavering faith really gives face, even following him through reincarnation.
As expected, faith and the like are completely irrelevant to the unwavering faith. It's either a system or a natural phenomenon.
Unfortunately, those stupid people in the country… let's not talk about it.
The divine techniques of the Holy Religion system are useful, but the trouble is that the traces left behind are too obvious and conspicuous.
Using this trick in Yingzhou, I don't know what kind of attention it will attract, let's withdraw quickly.
All that's left is the ashes, not even an exclamation mark.
It's a pity I lost a subplot.
Bai Wei carried Guan Ling on his back and quickly left the warehouse by the seaside.
Less than ten minutes after leaving, vehicles from the police headquarters surrounded the area, and the surviving gangsters were detained and sent to the hospital.
…
Walking in the dark, Bai Wei silently contemplated the future implications of this matter.
Yingzhou respects the strong, fears power, and no one wants completely unknown strong individuals to appear in areas they control. Therefore, the Shogunate, Police Department, and Magistrates will all inevitably investigate and inquire.
Also, because of involvement with the gangsters, the Sanada Group and Kanto Federation are like a domino effect, and the ensuing effects will undoubtedly be complicated.
The temple may be small, but the demons are mighty. Yingzhou is only a small piece of land, but with so many people, the conflicts of interest and the power factions will be even more complicated.
In this island country where the strong have been dominating for a thousand years, challengers from the bottom are always looked down upon, let alone this time, as they are outsiders.
If his identity is exposed, he may face the possibility of being expelled from the country.
Although Bai Wei doesn't care about Yingzhou, he also doesn't plan on leaving so soon.
Perhaps, in comparison to Europe or the Ming Country at that time, Yingzhou was more like a secluded corner.
He had to wait until Yagyū Simozi came of age and received a plaque before considering what to do next, so as long as the others remained peaceful, he would be at ease.
No, even if the gangsters caused trouble, he didn't mind using force to fight back, but only in terms of "force", as minor quarrels were insignificant.
Consider it only as a way to add some variety to the boring life.
"Looks like I'm not someone who desires a peaceful life after all," Bai Wei mocked himself.
After knocking on the door, he placed Guan Ling at the doorstep and turned away before opening the door.
Guan Caizi cautiously opened the door and saw her unharmed daughter. Ignoring the bloodstains all over her body, she knelt down and tightly embraced her precious, recovered jewel. The girl was awakened by this embrace and tiredly yet relaxedly leaned into her mother's arms.
Mother and daughter embraced each other and wept.
After the streetlight below the dilapidated apartment, Bai Wei rolled up his sleeves and walked away while humming a song leisurely.
