It is extremely difficult to communicate with Liushi now, because he doesn't have any reason at all right now.
I can only be as crazy as he is and give him a kindred spirit.
After making the cruel suggestion with a smile on his face, Liu Shi didn't know if my words had an effect, but Liu Shi's hand holding the knife suddenly lost strength.
I slowly let go of my hand, and he didn't continue to struggle, but looked at me blankly, as if he understood but didn't understand.
It wasn't until the sword on the chopping board made a crackling sound that Liushi woke up like a dream.
And the first thing he did when he came to his senses was to pick up the knife and throw it at his chest again.
This time I was a little late to stop him, the tip of the knife sliced through the clothes on his chest, and made a shallow gash on his chest. The gushing blood was soaked in his clothes, Liushi shook his head and twisted his body desperately. With his arm held by me, he simply slammed directly towards the tip of the knife. As a result, I pulled his arm, his body lost his balance, and his forehead hit the hot anvil.
The sound of the meat being cooked makes one's heart shudder.
The wound from the collision was instantly scalded by the high temperature, and the blood could not flow out at all, but the pain level increased exponentially. Liu Shi leaned on the wall, probably already black in front of his eyes, he squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to feel in the air, and moved slowly towards the forging platform.
Because he couldn't grasp the distance, when he approached the forging platform, the palm he used to explore the way was directly attached to the red-hot anvil. When it was lifted up, part of the flesh stuck to it, and the entire palm was blurred with torn flesh.
The blood on the forging table was quickly absorbed by the unfinished sword, but the sword was far from satisfied, and was still rattling, as if urging Liushi to give it more blood.
Liu Shi also seemed to be encouraged.
He touched the chisel from the forging table and stabbed himself in the eye, but I stopped him.
He took the machete he used for chopping wood and chopped it at his arm, but it was also in vain.
He tried to open his own artery with a file, tried to twist his neck with iron pliers, tried to use all the sharp objects in front of him to mutilate himself, and dedicated his blood and soul to his greatest work. But as long as I'm by my side, these are just delusions.
After using up everything that could be used, Liu Shi gasped for breath, his gaze fell on the gradually tarnished sword.
Just when I thought he was at the end of his rope, Liu Shi let out a wild laugh, opened his arms, and flew towards the forging platform without hesitation.
At that moment, death was as fragile as a blank sheet of paper in his eyes.
Naru is right, the current Liushi is as unreasonable as a brainwashed believer, and it is impossible to use common sense to speculate on his actions. His indifference to life really makes people shudder. If he pushes his wife into the fire pit abruptly in such a state, there is no sense of disobedience at all. After all, people who are cruel to themselves will not be kind to others. This is a universally recognized truth.
But once you take a closer look, it's easy to see what's wrong.
When I advised him to forge with other people's lives, Liu Shi didn't look around at all.
In other words, he didn't even have the idea of subconsciously looking for this "other".
And when snatching all kinds of sharp tools, he never attacked me with the sharp tools in his hand. The tool in his hand was snatched away by me, so he changed it. If there was nothing to change, he rushed to the forging table by himself.
He does have a fanatical demeanor, a ferocious smile, exaggerated movements, and he does not take his life seriously, but this is only for his own life. He is willing to complete the obsession in his heart regardless of life and death. This is his freedom.
What does this sword on the anvil mean to Flowstone
It might have been a way forward, something he wanted to do before, but after his wife died, it had become his reason for living. When he came to Yuxi City, Liushi said that as long as he is given some materials so that he can do some research on his own, he can be driven like a tool without considering his human rights at all.
It can be said that his desire to complete this matter is now higher than ever before.
Even to such an extent, Liushi still won't hurt those who approach him even if he loses his mind.
I couldn't believe that he would have pushed his wife into the fire at that time.
Following this line of thought, the murder case that happened in Ji Hirata's family that year may be very strange.
Just before Liushi was about to hug the hot cutting board, I slapped him on the face, grabbed his head and threw him back. Because of the excessive force, Liu Shi's nose and mouth were bleeding, and he fell into a corner, losing consciousness instantly.
I glanced at the dimmed sword and sighed.
If I hadn't done anything wrong, Liushi's forging should have been successful this time. But in order to test what kind of means he will use to deal with unexpected situations, I forcibly changed the result of this forging.
In that case, let me help him with this final step.
I took out a small reagent bottle from my arms, which contained a bright red liquid. I opened the lid and put a little drop on it.
The strong wind swept away everything in the house in an instant.
Apart from me standing there, nothing in the house higher than the forge survived. Even the roof was overturned to an invisible height, and disintegrated in the air. A red light shot straight into the sky, and the blood-colored mist carried a scalding temperature.
This is the blood essence of the dragon clan obtained from the ninth son of the Dragon King, Offlander. It can be said to be the top forging material that is hard to find. Flowing Stone's blood naturally couldn't suppress the restless weapon, but Offland's blood was completely capable. It's a pity that there are only three or four drops in total, so use a little less.
Dragon horns, dragon scales, dragon blood, plus the heart thrown to the little slime, were all the materials obtained from Offlander. The most precious among them is the dragon's blood, because it is the blood of the orthodox dragon king. No matter how powerful the other dragons are, the blood in their bodies is not as noble as Offland's blood.
After the blood mist dissipated, a red and black sword floated in the air.
I instinctively stretched out my hand, wanting to touch the sword, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
Although I am also full of curiosity about what Liushi worked so hard to make, if I use it now, what Liushi sees after waking up is a used sword. How should I put it... The results of such long years of hard work, success or failure, the answer should be revealed by himself.
I glanced at Liushi, who was still unconscious, and left the forging room that had become ruined walls without looking back.
