Even though Bai Xi was walking very fast, the feeling of being watched from behind still lingered.
Or rather, it never disappeared at all.
Throughout the entire journey, Rilisa silently followed Baixi, as quiet as a wooden doll. No matter how fast Baixi walked, even if she was exhausted, she would grit her teeth and keep up.
Because she could also vaguely feel the hairs on her back, as if a wild beast was eyeing something menacingly.
Just when she was about to give up and wanted to rely on magic to catch up with Bai Xi, Bai Xi stopped walking on her own.
Rilisa was startled and saw Bai Xi looking up at the sky.
Following Bai Xi's gaze, Rilisa saw bats and crows flying in the sky. Things that shouldn't be in the realm of the dead were actually here.
At the same time, Rilisa suddenly sensed that something seemed off about Bai Xi.
She subconsciously looked into Bai Xi's eyes and saw a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"!"
A sense of dread rose in Rilisa's heart, but out of concern, she instinctively tried to stop Baixi. However, just a second before she could cast her spell, Baixi vanished from the spot.
In an instant, a large amount of blood dripped from the sky, accompanied by pure black feathers, falling like blood rain and soaking her clothes.
For a moment, Rilisa was at a loss.
She looked up and saw Bai Xi facing the crow's carcass. Her black hair fell to her waist, and her already cold face now radiated a chilling killing intent.
She tore the crow to pieces.
It was only because she was a ghost that the ravens' carcasses and blood fell upon her.
For a moment, Rilisa was overwhelmed with fear. She instinctively clutched the slave collar around her neck. This was a magical artifact prepared by the undead to isolate them from the presence of living beings, in order to prevent them from being killed inexplicably.
The collar, which originally symbolized shame, has now become her life-saving talisman.
At this moment, she truly realized that Bai Xi was no longer the gentle and kind saintess she once was, but... a spirit with an insatiable thirst for blood.
Rilisa took two steps back, her chest heaving violently, as if she were fleeing.
For some reason, in the end, she didn't leave, but stayed where she was.
At that time, Bai Xi had just regained her senses. A few strands of confusion flashed across her eyes. She turned to look in front of her and at the ground, and then she saw a horrific scene that looked almost like a murder scene.
Torn feathers, a blood-soaked bird carcass, and the memories in her mind told her that she was the one who did it all.
There's also the lingering excitement in my body.
She felt happy and excited about killing the crows, as if she were on drugs.
Bai Xi fell silent.
Although she didn't know when or how she lost her mind and killed the crows, everything she had just done was actually in her mind.
Including the entire process of how she tore the crows apart.
"..."
Bai Xi frowned and covered her face.
She didn't fall back to the ground; she knew where Rilisa was, and she had seen the whole thing.
Rilisa... will be afraid of her.
This was the first time since she regained consciousness that Bai Xi had clearly felt the boiling, irrational, and uncontrollable urge of the undead to kill.
If it was this kind of 'pleasure' that was almost like an addiction, she actually tasted a sense of powerlessness, because her spirit told her that she liked it and she craved it.
Don't resist, kill them, and you will change your dull and boring life as an undead.
"No wonder....."
Bai Xi let her hands fall limply, her eyes vacant, muttering to herself.
She even knew that these crows were either victims sent by Ulysses to test her, or that he wanted to achieve some other purpose.
But she has no time to worry about that right now.
Her mind was now filled with thoughts of how she could suppress this boiling desire and how she could leave this western continent teeming with the dead.
This was the first time Bai Xi had ever felt so lacking in courage to do something.
Because it's really too difficult.
She lowered her head, looking at her translucent hand, which was free of any blood, but in a daze, she seemed to be able to feel the sticky, dripping sensation of raven's blood on her hand.
In reality, as a spirit of the dead, she has no five senses, and of course, the sense of touch does not exist either.
Perhaps... this is also why the dead crave killing, because it allows them to rediscover joy and some of the feelings they had when they were alive.
The air was eerily quiet. Rilisa stood motionless, and Baixi was frozen in mid-air like a statue.
Suddenly, a slightly surprised male voice came from afar.
"Oh? My crow?"
Almost the instant she heard the sound, Bai Xi abruptly raised her head, her eyes still brimming with intense killing intent, and met Ulysses's blood-red eyes directly.
The culprit has been identified.
"Miss Undead, you don't seem too happy?"
Ulysses' gaze swept over the dead crows, their black feathers scattered on the ground still stained with blood, but he remained calm as if he hadn't seen the horrific scene, nor had he received Bai Xi's gaze. His tone even carried a hint of concern.
He didn't care whether these crows died or not, and he didn't care about the deaths of any living beings on the continent.
Ulysses only shows a little curiosity about people or things that interest him.
For example, Maggie.
Bai Xi took a deep breath and landed in front of Ulysses. Her eyes rolled slightly upwards, and the three whites of her eyes were connected, making her look as cold and sinister as a female ghost.
"Vampire, put away your boring and perverse sense of humor."
Her tone was icy cold, almost a scolding.
This time, Bai Xi was really angry. Ulysses' repeated probing of her behavior had crossed her bottom line.
If the 'Nightmare Crescent' were still in her hands, she would definitely plunge it into Ulysses' heart immediately.
"How can it be considered a perverse hobby? Helping the undead lady recognize her own race is considered a perverse hobby?"
Ulysses showed no remorse whatsoever, and with a half-smile, he said things that made Bai Xi's anger rise higher and higher.
Bai Xi had no idea what Ulysses had heard or seen, and she didn't care at all; all she wanted was for this annoying guy to die.
"None of your business, vampire."
Bai Xi closed her eyes, but in the end, she couldn't suppress the urge to kill.
As her words fell, Ulysses' elegant aristocratic dress suddenly seemed to be slashed by an invisible blade, his flesh bursting open at the same time, dark red blood flowing down his arms, thighs and face.
Ulysses, caught off guard, was taken aback.
It seems they didn't expect him to get injured.
