"Haha, your pained expression is really disgusting. I still prefer your original, defiant smile."
As the sword pierced through, blood began to slowly flow from the black-robed man's genitals, soaking his trousers.
"Tell me, is this what you want?"
I can't see my own expression right now, but I know it must be incredibly crazy. I'm even a little scared of myself right now.
What am I doing?
Why did I become like this?
Yes, that's how I am.
I am a demon. I have only been pretending, pretending to be a kind person. Only I know how dark my heart truly is.
This madness was so hidden that I forgot it myself; even my master's ghostly eyes couldn't see it.
This kind of emotion shouldn't have appeared in me in my entire life, but why is it here?
The Heaven and Earth Church forced me down this path step by step; it was their choice. Now I've become a madman. Why?
I'm getting tired. I can feel a buzzing in my ears, and I feel like I can't hold on much longer.
The man in the black robe was covered in tears and blood, but to me it was strangely beautiful.
"You're really lucky. I'm a little tired. You can go die now."
I could see fear in the black-robed man's eyes, but also a sense of relief.
"Enjoy it, remember with gratitude my mercy now, and don't forget me after you die. I'm sorry, I will scatter your soul. That's all, goodnight."
After saying that, I plunged my sword into the black-robed man's skull. The moment I pulled out the bronze sword, I felt my eyes welling up with tears. Yes, how was he...?
I don't want to accept any of this, just let me sleep...
I felt everything go black, and in my daze, I felt someone calling my name. I wanted to answer, but I couldn't muster any strength.
I could only listen quietly as the sound grew fainter and fainter. I felt a sharp pain in my head, and it was as if there was a huge noise in my mind.
The enormous sound nearly shattered my skull. The pain in my mind made me furrow my brow. I gritted my teeth and endured the shock caused by the loud noise.
"What? You really think the world is that wonderful?"
"If you want to go to the human world, then I will set a rule for you. I will seal all your memories. Life and death are predestined. You are the rightful heir of the Demon Emperor, but once you go to the human world, you will not retain a single bit of power!"
Are you really sure about this?
I suddenly opened my eyes and gasped for breath.
At that moment, as I lay in the van that had brought me here, I suddenly thought of Wu Shi:
"Where is Wu Shi? How is he?"
I quickly sat up and searched around for Wu Shi's figure.
He lay quietly on the side seat of the van, and it was impossible to tell whether he was still alive.
I clenched my fists and asked in a low voice, "What... happened to him?"
My teacher's wife held me in her arms without saying a word, but I had a pretty good idea of what had happened: Wu Shi was in trouble.
"What exactly happened to Wu Shi?!"
"Master...Senior Uncle!"
I looked at them with pleading eyes, but the answer was obvious from the start.
"Is he... dead...?"
Hearing this, Master sighed heavily.
"Part of his soul was shattered by that zombie, which means he is now missing a part of his soul. Although his body is not seriously injured, it will be difficult for him to wake up."
"Unless his soul can be restored, he will probably remain in this state for the rest of his life."
At this moment, Chairman Fang interjected, "The Taoist Association will arrange a hospital and caregiver for Wu Shi. Until we can think of a way to help him recover, we can only temporarily place him in the hospital."
"This is our fault. We didn't expect that a wandering zombie would be so troublesome. Even my senior brother Chen and I couldn't take it down together."
I felt all my strength drain away in that instant, and I collapsed there, completely motionless.
I closed my eyes, reluctant to believe what I was seeing.
Doesn't this mean that once Wu Shi loses his soul, he will always remain like this, like a vegetable, lying quietly in bed?
"So, what should we do next?"
"We've come up empty-handed this time. Not only do we have to deal with that drought demon, but now a wandering zombie has appeared. Things are getting worse."
I calmly described the current situation, my tone no longer betraying any fear.
It was at this moment that I decided I had to surpass everyone sitting in this car and complete a task they couldn't. I wanted to stand at the pinnacle of Taoist arts. I had been pushed to my limit, and I really couldn't hold back anymore.
I don't even know how I ended up in the Taoist Association; I was completely drained.
I've made up my mind. After this operation is over, I will spend all my time with Wu Shi. I don't want him to lie alone in a cold hospital room.
"Xiaoxi, you need to calm down. You're in a dangerous situation right now. You've been controlled by your inner demons. If you don't try your best to suppress your emotions, you might lose control and do something irreversible. Then, there really won't be any way to undo it!"
My master held my shoulder, and I could tell he was very serious, even a little anxious.
But at that moment, I didn't want to listen to anyone's words; all I wanted was for Wu Shi to be alright.
I can't calm down at all with him like this now.
