Volume 2 Rashomon of Yomi Hirasaka Chapter 13: Determination
'The nostalgic blood of madness (awakening):
Your power has now revealed the tip of the iceberg. The splendor brought by the madness and despair in the subspace is like dropping a boulder on the water. Your spirit and blood have undergone an unstoppable change. Any creature you target, if they think they are not as good as you, will automatically bear the pressure ten times the size of their inner fear. And any existence that thinks they are stronger than you will be angered by your unruly gaze, and their inner dissatisfaction will be magnified tenfold. But what the real situation is, I am afraid only the dead know. This is not a problem for you who created a great demon with your own hands. '
When Li Lin saw this skill, his first reaction was that he was going to make a fortune.
This can be said to be a perfect skill for clearing and pulling monsters. It does not require any consumption, sacrifice, coordinates or reference objects, and you don't even need to swing a knife or a sword. As long as you take a look, the soul will automatically touch and perceive it, and the skill will be activated.
You know, recklessly going all out in battle will only lead to death. If the enemy is a semi-elemental creature or a guy who is completely invincible, Li Lin will not use this skill to provoke him. But if it is just a simple human competition of skills, a calm and composed person with special skills can completely defeat several or even dozens of reckless people one by one.
And in the fog at the foot of the mountain, it was obvious that no one felt they could defeat Li Lin with certainty.
Especially the sugar balls and acid bottles gave great shock to these practitioners who were still in the human stage. This method and cruel killing behavior gave these practitioners a mental shock. They were still weak and could not integrate their spirit and body together to condense the essential power of mutation. For this method that could kill mortals instantly, these practitioners were determined, but they could not help but feel a little fear.
But that was enough. As long as there was a slight crack in his heart, whether it was fear or arrogance, it would be provoked and become one of the steps to Li Lin's victory.
First, there was a hint of instinctive fear brought by the shock, and then there was a chain reaction caused by the mental shock brought by the big demon. The originally stable spirit of the monks was actually the best cover for Li Lin to operate his spirit. Because they were too confident in their own cultivation, they would not doubt themselves. The most perfect fortress was breached from the inside, and their fear killed themselves.
Therefore, the dozens of monks who surrounded him, because of the shadow spreading in their hearts, not even one dared to take action, and all became background boards, watching Li Lin holding the girl with a completely dead look in his eyes and swaggering through the city, but they did not feel any shame in their hearts, but just felt a long sigh of relief. Although Li Lin was just an ordinary person, and his ability was probably not much stronger than these monks, these people still walked back with their brows raised, as if they had won a victory.
Although they themselves did not know why they felt so lucky just to be alive, the monks whose minds had been driven by the blood of madness did not realize that their state was abnormal at all, but instead took it for granted.
"You are a demon."
Looking at the monks' scattered backs and Li Lin, he said with an unusually confident voice:
"Only the demons of hell have such abilities and methods, and only the Heavenly Demon can pollute the cultivation and Dao heart of practitioners. You are the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon, the evildoer projected on the earth by the demons from outer space, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
"With just your words and actions, you can shatter the mind of a practitioner and make him lose his true self. With just a glance, you can make a lay Buddhist monk collapse and dissolve. Everything about you is the same as the demons recorded in the heterodox book left by my father. Those demons recorded in the book, who specialize in destroying other people's practice, are like this. Did you come here to destroy everything in Hirasaka?"
"Ah... I want to say that your imagination is a bit too wild, but in a sense it's not wrong. If the mission requires it, it's OK to just tear this place down. It's not the first time I've done it anyway."
"Is that so?"
"What do you think? "
“…”
With that as if-I-know-what expression on his face, Li Lin smiled and didn't bother to explain anything.
It's actually quite interesting. Although these are all far-fetched guesses, they are somehow correct. It's not impossible to disguise yourself as a heretic demon. If it's interesting, maybe you can use this identity to cheat people or something.
Perhaps those people's departure brought some news. After walking out of the fog and returning to the gravel road, the two did not meet anyone along the way. The occasional gods and lay people they met did not seem to be locals , but simply people who participated in the memorial service. They greeted Li Lin and the girl very friendly, and then once again received a large basket of amulets and tokens. The only small episode was that an old woman wanted to give a rope for tying a bond, but was glared back by He.
Making a deal with a demon was the most courage the girl could muster. Facing this completely incomprehensible monster, the little girl felt that her sanity was almost gone in just a few minutes. If she continued to be with this monster, she would probably go crazy if her sister was not rescued in two days.
I walked back along the path and when I got to the hotel, I soon saw Sha walking around anxiously. After seeing Li Lin and He He coming back, I showed a relieved expression.
"He, you went out with this gentleman without telling me..."
"Yeah, I'm fine, sis. No need to make a fuss."
I will definitely rescue you.
Glancing at her sister, who looked just as worried as she remembered, the girl's expression became dark yet tough.
She was his only relative, his sister who depended on him for everything. If the devil wanted to enjoy suffering, he would save his sister even if it meant destroying Hirasaka.
Even if it was a demon from the outer sect, what could it do? If he could save his sister, then what would happen if all the monks in Hirasaka died ? The ghost marriage festival was held every year, and he had already seen the nature of these monks who seemed to be free and easy but were actually timid. If he really had nothing, how could he host such a ghost marriage festival?
So it’s better if they all die.
All a girl who knows nothing can do is to have this kind of awareness.
“How interesting.”
That’s why I like to do tasks.
The NPCs in this game are really good at acting and have a lot of roles. They are my favorite.
Li Lin, who was watching the whole process from the side, could only shrug his shoulders, and then smiled at the sad look of the little girl who was also standing at the door.
