"I know, I know you actually feel very painful... It was the Haierbo who made you like this, wasn't it? Hey, can you hear my voice? I'm talking to you... "
In a basement, Luna, whom no one had seen all afternoon, was talking to a strange thing.
Since there is a magic lantern hanging in every corner of the basement, this small space is almost filled with even dazzling light, without even a shadow.
And right in the center of this small basement - where Luna was looking at, a large number of golden chains were tightly wrapped around a mantis with dark skin and shell, who looked like a mantis, but whose upper body was human. Strange looking creature.
The human's arms were two dark and narrow blades with a slight curvature that looked extremely sharp. But let alone waving them now, it is not easy for it to even move under the chains.
"Wow-"
Suddenly, it struggled hard, making the chain rattle. But Luna, who was standing right in front of it, showed no fear at all. She still looked at it steadily, with even a little pity on her face.
There is no doubt that this is the guy who secretly chased them, but was later captured by Sarah and brought back to the church, the high-level living corpse who can hide in the shadows.
But now, locked in this light-filled basement, it obviously has no way to rely on the power of the shadow rules.
"I can feel the pain and sadness you hide under your chaotic desires," Luna leaned in front of it, not caring about its ugly appearance, and still whispered softly, "Feel it yourself too. !Don’t be defeated by desire, try to struggle again.”
The mind of a living corpse is chaotic, with no concept of self, only instinctive killing and destruction - this is what Luna herself said.
However, after sneaking into the basement that Sarah had warned her not to approach and seeing the living corpse, she suddenly felt that she should not give up.
This is not because she can "hear" the vague cry deep in the other person's soul - in fact, even her empathy rules cannot reach that deep place, and she is not even sure whether the other person can hear her words.
She just suddenly realized that these living corpses were transformed by the power of demons after people died. If she could clearly feel the other person's pain, but just gave up because she thought she couldn't save him, wouldn't that be too pitiful for the other person
"Can you hear what I'm talking to you? If you can, then please don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you!"
As Luna said this, she suddenly lowered her head slightly, raised her hands and held a card with a rule rune in front of her.
The next moment, a faint blue light slowly floated on the rune, and two wandering lights extended towards her and the opponent's living corpse at the same time.
It can be seen that Luna wants to connect her heart with the living corpse through the rules of empathy - she knows that the root of the heart is the soul, and if she can touch the other party's incomplete soul through the heart in this way, , then maybe we can really bring out the vague "humanity" of the other party that has not been completely lost.
However, this approach is undoubtedly very dangerous for her who has only initially mastered some of the secrets of the rules.
You must know that most of the remaining souls of living corpses are awakened desires. It is extremely difficult to find a trace of humanity among the piles of sins. If she wasn't careful, even her own soul might be contaminated.
It's a pity that with no one to remind or dissuade her at this time, Luna herself obviously has no concerns about this risk.
"Well-"
As the brilliance of the rules gradually approached their foreheads, at the moment when their hearts were connected, Luna snorted.
It must be said that Luna really picked the most inappropriate time - Halbo's anger caused a riot of living zombies, and the guy in front of her was naturally one of them.
Although Sarah trapped it with alchemical chains and a large amount of light, these methods could not cut off the connection between it and Herbo.
Luna should actually be lucky now, because Haierbo never cared about the living corpses he created, otherwise... the consequences of actively exposing her soul to Haierbo are not something Luna can afford!
However, even without Haierbo taking action personally, Luna was already in great pain.
The living corpse's chaotic mind filled with complex desires is almost the opposite of the pure her. The inner feeling of being hit by sin in turn is definitely not pleasant.
Luna, who was forced to endure the attack of violent desires, her originally fair face became bloodshot and red little by little, her eyes slowly became bloodshot, and drops of cold sweat flowed down her cheeks.
But Luna is also extremely stubborn. Sometimes she becomes paranoid, and even Hermione has to give in.
At this moment, she was seen suppressing the feeling of a splitting headache, enduring all kinds of crazy desires that she had never felt in her life, constantly looking for something in the chaos... something mixed with pain, Yet the brilliance of pure humanity.
Just like the speculation from Maka's research - love and sin may be one and the same, and these living corpses are just the product of Haierbo's infinite amplification of the "sin" side.
But no matter how much it is expanded, its other side must still exist.
Luna did not understand these theories, but she could faintly feel the remaining brilliance through the power of the rules of empathy. This was what she was looking forward to trying to awaken.
"Don't give up, I'm looking for you...can you feel it?"
Even though she was in pain, Luna, with her eyes slightly closed, still spoke so softly.
…
"Hannah, are you in Sarah's room? Didn't Luna say before that Sarah asked her to convey that we wouldn't be allowed to enter this room?"
"She said it, so it shouldn't happen... Forget it, let's go in and take a look first!"
"boom!"
The door was pushed open, and Ginny and others rushed in from the outside.
"no one."
Hannah, who was walking at the front, looked around, but although Sarah's room was large, it was clearly visible at a glance, and there was no way to hide anyone.
"Wait, look here—"
Ginny soon discovered that a large number of doll parts that were originally piled near the rocking chair had been partially removed, and a corner of the carpet underneath had also been removed, which looked very suspicious in this seemingly tidy room. .
