Chapter 171 You Are Worse Than a Dog
"In that war, 10 sentinels died in exchange for a B-rank guide."
"What's even more ridiculous is that this useless guide is no longer able to provide spiritual comfort after this war."
"My daughter died in vain."
"Just like Leon Claude's order, 'protect the guide even to death,' it's meaningless."
Rhodes chuckled mockingly, lowered his eyes, and stroked the air with his fingers, as if he was constantly caressing the face of the dead girl.
"So this was the trigger for you to kill Leon Claude, and it was also the reason why you completely replaced the entire military unit that Claude belonged to." Qianzhi followed Rhodes' eyes and looked at the girl in the coffin.
"That idiot who only knows how to abide by the imperial laws and is inflexible should die." Rhodes sneered.
"But his order was to save the faith of all the Sentinels. The guide means much more than just life to the Sentinels. It is also their hope to survive." Qianzhi said softly.
"Moreover, Xia wants to save not only her guide, but also her lover."
"Lover? The kind that is bewitched by pheromones—" Rhodes' face was distorted.
"-It's not pheromones." Chizhi interrupted him calmly.
Her eyes passed from Rhodes and looked behind him.
The shadow of the girl in the white dress's soul was hazy. Her fingers were holding a young boy's hand, and she looked at Qianzhi with a sad expression.
"Even without the pheromones, she still loves him."
"--You saw it, right!" Rhodes suddenly widened his eyes, his gray pupils dilated wildly with a look of madness.
"You see my little Xia's soul, she is here, right?" Rhodes stretched out his arms and hugged the void in front of him.
"Xia, Daddy is here, come to Daddy quickly and let Daddy hug you."
His voice gradually choked.
Qianzhi sighed softly.
"She can't hold you."
I won't hold you either.
Although her lover's spirit meets her, she cannot fully forgive her father.
But the gentle girl still chose to come to Rhodes' side, hoping that her father would not make the same mistake again.
"But there is still a way, right?" Rhodes suddenly stopped hugging the void and looked straight at Qianzhi. "Qianzhi Guide once gave the soul the ability to reincarnate, and..."
He looked sharply behind them.
"Furthermore, a soul that was once eliminated can return to the world, isn't it with Qianzhi Guide? Is that right, Commander Leon Claude? Or should I call you, Lord Disaster?"
A man in a dark military uniform stood behind them, his tall figure hidden in the darkness, his pupils pitch black, and his thick eyelashes cast a large shadow.
"It looks like you've finally lost your mind and started to go crazy, Rhodes." Lyon grinned with his bright red lips, his eyes dark and gloomy.
"Really?" Rhode sneered. "Two years ago, I watched you die under my gun. Then I threw you into the underground cemetery, letting those Zerg devour you."
"But the next day, you reappeared unharmed before your followers. That same day, the interstellar disaster was dispelled. The black mist representing the remnants of the disaster passed through the nebula, rushed towards the Federation's atmosphere, and finally fell into the underground cemetery."
"Even if I'm just imagining things," Rhode said, stroking the coffin lid with his fingers, "you have indeed been reborn before my eyes."
"Furthermore, at the beginning of your rebirth, you were unable to properly control the black mist that served as your secondary spiritual body, and it was exposed to the sight of my people."
"After all, the spirit of the original Leon Claude was just a stupid killer whale that could only spit out foam."
"——I understand the inspector general's deep love for his daughter, but such a guess is too absurd." Leon's handsome face emerged from the darkness, and the dazzling light could not penetrate his deep pupils.
"Mr. Rhodes said so many things that have nothing to do with your crime. It's hard for me not to suspect that you are stalling for time."
Leon unfolded the communicator and quickly entered the message.
"--delaying time, haha, but aren't you avoiding the topic, Mr. Disaster?" Rhodes sat on the coffin, laughing crazily.
"Aren't you as crazy as me? You're clearly horny for Guide Qianzhi, wanting her unbearably, yet you still endure the pain and smile at her lovers, even sniffing the strong pheromone scent on her body that belongs to someone else."
"In the end, I was even worse than a dog. I couldn't even beg for a smile or a glance. Compared to me praying for the resurrection of the dead, the indifference and ruthlessness of the living from beginning to end are more miserable - uh -"
Rhodes' words stopped abruptly.
Because the black mist suddenly appeared from the air, strangled his neck and made him unable to speak.
"I've already given you a chance, Rhodes." Lyon narrowed his eyes, a scarlet light flashed, and murderous aura condensed into a sharp entity, attacking Rhodes.
But the next second, it was defeated and dissipated.
"Hahahaha, why don't you kill me?" Rhodes leaned over the coffin, gasping for breath.
"Even if I kill you, your daughter will never come back." The vines were entwined between Qianzhi's fingers.
She glanced in Leon's direction, then looked down at Rhodes.
"It takes mental strength comparable to half of the planet's consciousness, at the cost of one's own death, to heal the wound of another's death and pull back the dying soul." Just like what Er did to her when she was about to die.
"Or perhaps one must possess a strong enough obsession to endure having one's soul torn into pieces thousands of times, suffering the same pain as those lives lost in one's hands, before one can possibly crawl out from the depths of hell."
The girl closed her eyes, and every word that came out of her lips was trembling and dry.
Leon Claude is really unlucky.
"So, I'm sorry, Mr. Rhodes, even I can't save Xia."
She looked at the thin soul of Xia standing beside her, and the girl was already in tears.
This innocent sentinel girl, after a brief period of hatred, still naively hoped that her father could live well.
Afterwards, their souls may meet again in hell or at the entrance to reincarnation.
Qianzhi slowly retracted the vines and watched Rhodes lower his head, as if swallowed by despair, or as if defeated by extreme pain.
"But there is another possibility." Rhodes covered his throat and hissed.
"When death came upon the former savior,"
Rhodes' figure suddenly shook, and in an instant, he pounced towards Qianzhi.
A bright white light flashed by, which was the light emitted by the dagger in his hand.
"The past disaster will burst out with terrifying spiritual power, resurrecting the souls around him who have died and have not yet left!"
The short blade stabbed at the girl.
With a puff.
Happy New Year everyone! I really love you all for reading this. Thank you so much!
