Chapter 408 Will Love Be Inherited?
"professor."
The weak raven looked at Zuo Xi with anger in his eyes.
It saw several strangers wearing Special Management Bureau gear approaching, but their temperament was clearly inconsistent with that of regular Special Management Bureau members.
"Failed?" one of them asked.
Moriarty shook his head slowly, a sad, mocking smile playing on his lips. "No, quite the contrary. It's been more successful than we expected."
Looking at the two humans who were kneeling in an embrace but were already separated by life and death, Moriarty felt a surge of sadness in his heart, but more of it was the excitement of the chain reaction triggered by their relationship.
"So what should we do next? Bring this man back?"
Another person suggested.
"He is not perfect now, but the personality reconstruction experiment is very perfect. Perhaps... to express gratitude to them for providing such valuable experimental data..." Moriarty slowly squatted down, and his fingers gently slid across Zuo Xi's hair, which was trembling with despair, grief, pain and anger.
"I should give him a gift."
In his hand he held a fiery red seed, like a burning flame.
"Although this is only a replica, if it can withstand the baptism of the True Lunar Fire, it will become a very valuable experimental specimen."
After saying that, he slowly placed the seed on Zuo Xi's face. The seed seemed to have life and instantly blended into the skin without leaving any trace.
Raven was unable to continue describing the subsequent scene at this point, but Li Muhan had already guessed it.
But Li Muhan also understood what had happened.
Shuo Bai had worked with Moriarty before, and he could tell at a glance that the affairs of Team 7 were closely related to Moriarty.
But in order to prevent this man's evil from affecting his own plan, after all, he had too many handles on him, Shuo Bai chose to quickly get rid of Zuo Xi to avoid future troubles.
The Special Management Bureau's method of executing the death penalty at that time was unique and cruel. It used the scorching power of the Taiyin True Fire to turn the souls of humans or aliens into ashes.
It's just that Moriarty had calculated everything.
Under the gaze of three witnesses, Shuobai, Baihu and Xuanwu, he performed an exquisite show of covering the sky.
As the Taiyin True Fire ignited the seeds, causing them to take root and sprout, he managed to regenerate Zuo Xi in the flames and took him away, eventually transforming him into what he is today...
Li Muhan opened his eyes again and was surprised to find that Raven was no longer the same as before, but a girl with black hair like a waterfall. Her appearance was exactly the same as the photo of Mo Xuan in his memory.
However, Li Muhan knew in his heart that this was not Chang Yue's little apprentice, but an incarnation chosen by Raven.
"...After Moriarty took Zuo Xi away, he steadily eroded his memory and reshaped his personality. He convinced Zuo Xi that Chang Yue, Shuo Bai, and even the entire Tianhai City Special Management Bureau were responsible for Team 7's tragedy. The seed that grew from the burning of the Taiyin True Fire completely suppressed my power."
The girl slowly curled up, a few black feathers occasionally visible between her arms and hair, her eyes revealing endless loss and sadness.
"I wanted to... help him, but I couldn't. I could only watch as the fake eroded his brain day after day. To keep him alive, I had no choice but to lend him my power..."
Having said this, the girl's face showed even more sadness and sorrow.
Her eyes were filled with self-blame and pain, as if the unfulfilled promises and unfulfilled protection were tearing her heart apart.
"I failed to fulfill her last wish... I failed to protect him... I watched him transform into... a monster..."
However, the demon slowly crouched down and gently placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, trying to comfort her: "No, he didn't... turn into... a monster. Under... Moriarty's torture... he didn't really... give up."
This was also the reason why Li Muhan put away his knife at that time.
He knew that Yin Qi was behind Zuo Xi, and he also had the ability to make the Thunder Strike accurately hit Zuo Xi without touching Yin Qi.
However, Zuo Xi did not run away, nor did he fight to the death.
He chose to give up using his power in order to protect the ravens in his body.
He turned around and used his body to block Yin Qi, which was his adherence to the oath he had made as the captain of the Seventh Team.
"Whether...as a member of the Special Management Bureau or...as the lover of your former master, he...is not...disqualified in any way."
The girl slowly raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. "...Thank you, devil, at least he finally met you..."
Finally, Li Muhan slowly took back the chains scattered on the ground.
"But... this doesn't mean... your sins and his will be forgiven!"
Li Muhan stared sternly at the girl in front of him.
The girl nodded slowly. "I understand... I will accept any ruling from the Special Management Bureau, and this time... I will face it together with him."
Li Muhan felt something was wrong.
Wasn't what he saw in the girl's eyes the same look as the one she had when Mo Xuan decided to use the raven in his body to protect Zuo Xi and decided to die herself?
What do you mean? Is this love transferred?
"Excuse me.....I'd like to ask..." The devil scratched his head and asked a question that left the raven speechless.
"Are you...in love with...Zuo Xi?"
The girl opened her mouth slightly, then her cheeks turned slightly red, and finally she nodded generously.
Oh my god, this is so exciting.
Li Muhan complained in his heart, but the bandaged face of the Soul-Eating Arbitrator was completely unable to express any emotions. Finally, he slowly released his hand on Raven's shoulder and stood up.
"...I hereby pronounce you guilty, Raven. However, this crime is not mine to punish. Return to his body and face the Special Management Bureau's trial with him."
Clang——
The chains broke at this moment, and at the same time, Raven felt that his broken strength was actually returning to his body little by little.
“…..What is this?”
She looked up at Li Muhan in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.
"The soul of the Wendigo... the soul of a sinner whose death could never redeem him. You come from the other side, and the power of the Void Soul is enough to heal your wounds."
Raven slowly raised her hand and watched her damaged skin gradually recover. The surprise on her face gradually turned into tears of gratitude, flowing out like a spring.
"...Thank you...Thank you. No matter how the Special Management Bureau decides on us, this time...I will face it with him. I will definitely do it!"
At this moment, seeing the girl's face with a smile in her tears, Li Muhan was unable to tell for a moment...
Is she Raven, or Mo Xuan...
But this is no longer important, at least Zuo Xi should understand it.
The world has not truly abandoned him. There is always a silent presence in his body that protects him.
That was the love that Mo Xuan poured everything into in the last moment of his life.
It is Raven's love for him that has been protecting and accompanying him selflessly for ten years.
It is also a love that is formed by two broken souls entwined with each other, coming together at this moment and blooming with the light of new life.
"...Alas, I never thought... that there would be a day when I would be... fed dog food. What karma..."
Looking at the Raven's restored soul, Li Muhan sighed softly. Although the black bracelet had the power to repair Baal's soul, it was only a replica of the soul after all, and its quality could not be compared with a pure soul.
Just as Li Muhan was lost in thought, the girl suddenly held his hand gently.
"...Mr. Devil, thank you. I know what you want. Let me give you a gift as well."
