The Qilin incident ended not long ago.
In the eternal night, the young girl and her cheap master were sitting in a daze in the vast open space of the eternal night.
"Master, you haven't been out in the Eternal Night, so how do you know that there will be chaos outside?"
"well…"
Whenever the old man heard the word "Master", his heart would always twitch.
It also didn't expect that the talented and powerful ghost it caught was the one who wanted to seize the corpse of eternal punishment.
Looking at the tightly entangled causal thread, it could only passively accept it and replied with a sigh:
"For most people, the Eternal Night is a place they can only enter but never exit. There are no opportunities, and they can only stay there forever."
"There are also a very small number of people who possess the means to freely enter and exit the Eternal Night. These weird people often live long and are very powerful. Now that all of these few have been dispatched, do you think there will not be chaos outside?"
The little girl's eyelids were wide open, and she looked at the open space beside her thoughtfully, as if she was seriously thinking about what the old man said.
"Why did they go out to destroy the city just because of that human's strange contract?"
"No, the human contract brings disaster to the country, but it has nothing to do with them."
The old man snorted coldly, "That's the bad thing about us guile. We never know how to unite. As long as disaster doesn't befall them, they won't resist."
"Then why are they going out?"
The little girl wiggled her feet and blinked her big eyes with curiosity.
"Some went for Ziming. That remnant soul is a great tonic, rare to come by. Some went to recruit younger brothers, and some went to seize the saber. There were too many. In other words, that human who allowed the contract monster to embark on the destruction of the city was not at fault."
"But... in the process, he brought out too many treasures that Gui coveted."
Although the old man was not interested, he was still moved when he mentioned the saber and Ziming.
The young girl did not understand what Ziming was or what a saber was. She only knew that they were treasures that were not often seen. It was a crime to possess such treasures even if one was innocent.
Anyway, there are too many places in the human race that attract those powerful monsters.
"Then... Master, how long are we going to sit here?"
"Just wait."
The old man's eyes were fixed on the front. Everything around him was white, and the moonlight covered them all over without any scruples.
The young girl couldn't see what was in front of her. She only knew that this place was not as interesting as the mountain of corpses, and even trees could not be planted here.
"Then Master, why are you so afraid of the eternal punishment of the corpse? What is it?"
"You don't know what it is, and you still steal it!"
The old man was so angry that he looked away just to glare at it.
It's so infuriating. Do you think that the penalty for offending the law is the same as the law, and that your sentence should be reduced just because you are young and ignorant?
Bullshit! You still have to punish me the way I deserve!
"I just think it's useful. I told you before, my brother is stupid and not very smart."
"I think you're pretty much the same."
"Woo~"
The little girl pretended to cry, but it did not make the old man soften his heart. Instead, he slapped her on the head.
"Be normal and don't act like an old man like me."
"That's perfectly normal. If I don't remove the Eternal Punishment corpse, how will my brother survive?"
"You're a little trickster, but you care about your brother, a great man who can destroy a city?"
The old man sighed deeply, turned his gaze to the front again, and said helplessly:
"You two are a strange pair. The older brother gave you his tricks, and the younger sister took the body for him."
"The key is, the brother's brain is not good enough and he doesn't know how to use tricks at all. The sister's brain is also not good enough and she doesn't even know what the side effects of the penalty tattoo are."
The old man didn't know how to complain about this brother and sister. One was smart and the other was stupid, but the stupid one had some strange skills.
On the other hand, this smart one has a good brain, but is extremely weak.
He was able to hold on by relying on trickery and penalty marks.
"Only a freak can be worthy of being a master. If I were ordinary, I would have died in your fantasy world by now."
The little girl blinked her cute eyes and shook the old man's arm.
"Just tell me what's so scary about being a corpse in eternal punishment."
"well……"
Hearing this, the old man sighed deeply again, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"You were the one who said if you don't know, you shouldn't go out."
"Actually, you can stay as master and disciple, but you can also choose not to leave."
"Why should I worship you if you don't go out?"
"Hey, you girl."
The old man said angrily: "Then don't regret it, the price of this penalty tattoo."
"I don't regret it. It's for my brother. What's there to regret?"
"But your brother doesn't remember you."
"I know, it's the eternal night."
"I mean, even if you leave the Eternal Night, you won't remember it."
"?"
The little girl listened quietly. She never knew what the eternal punishment of the corpse really meant.
All he knew was that this corpse was very powerful, and coupled with his brother's powerful physique, he could become a leader in destroying the city.
It doesn't have any strange skills, but it doesn't know how to use them, so it can only rely on its sister to give it orders.
In other words, when they were together before, the elder brother was the knife, and it was the ghost who wielded the knife.
Now that they are separated, each of them is actually stronger.
One possesses strange and uncanny skills that he can control freely, and the other possesses a corpse that will be punished forever.
As for the price, the little girl never knew it, but she knew that she could not escape the eternal night, and if she did, she would die.
Now, after hearing that the old man knew the true price of the eternal punishment corpse, its heart also began to get nervous.
"Eternal punishment is the price you pay. Without the protection of the Eternal Night, you will remain immortal, merge into your corpse, and suffer eternal torment."
"Unlike corpses like those that don't dissolve bones, your punishment mark is unbreakable. Even if it brings disaster to the nation, it can't be undone. Once branded, your fate is sealed."
The little girl had expected this, and although she was a little scared when she heard the result, she was able to force a smile.
"I see. This means that after leaving the Eternal Night, I must be extremely careful and follow your teachings so as not to attract the attention of Heaven."
"You girl."
Having said that, there was no way to persuade him to quit. The old man had no other choice but to remind him again:
"If you're discovered, the body will be reclaimed. This means your brother will lose both his tricks and his body, and could become the most useless city destroyer in the world."
"For my brother's sake, I won't be discovered!"
The young girl is determined.
The old man looked at the little girl quietly and suddenly smiled.
"I just told you that you will be forgotten. It's not about the eternal night. What I mean is that corpses are invasive. No matter how strong your brother is, after so many years of resistance, he will eventually forget the precious things in his memory."
“…”
The corpse is invasive.
The young girl never thought there would be such a side effect.
"You mean... even if I have a chance to get rid of the punishment mark in the future, my brother will gradually forget me because he is eroded by the corpse?"
"No……"
The old man opened his mouth, but found it difficult to speak.
After a long silence, he said:
"I guess it has already forgotten everything and become a confused... walking corpse."
