【145】 The correct way to use your ex
Nanke destroyed the amulet and pointed out the high priest's motive for murder. In addition to being shocked, Jade also deeply blamed himself for not discovering that the high priest was a bad person as soon as possible.
(Is it the high priest who pretended to be friendly and humor that confused me? As a demon, I should be extremely sensitive to magic, but I did not sense a powerful defensive barrier in Zanti Village, but I never thought that the defensive barrier might not exist at all. If the resurrection corpse does not approach Zanti Village, maybe it just follows the orders of their master!)
In those years when Nan Ke was an otaku, he read comics a lot. He took good care of both Chinese, Japanese, and American comics. The various conspiracies and tricks in the comic plot can be said to be familiar with them. As long as he starts to recall the plot of the comic, he will enter the "suspicious mode", it will become extremely difficult to imply him.
While watching the American superhero comic "Justice League" series, Nanke also discovered an interesting rule: that is, whenever Batman is present, Superman's intelligence will decline terrible, as if Batman has a "wisdom reduction halo", reducing Superman's IQ by 20 points per second, resulting in many obvious suspicious points that Superman cannot find.
(Superman, your daily identity is a Planet Daily reporter, okay? The reporter's eyes are not sharp, how can you make a living! Don't just stare at Batman when you go on a mission with Batman! No matter how long you keep your eyes on Batman, Batman won't marry you! This little bitch has secretly saved a lot of kryptonite to deal with you!)
However, whenever Superman doesn't stay with Batman but goes on a mission with other heroes (such as Aquaman), Superman's IQ will be online immediately. In the face of messy clues, he can make logical reasoning that is no less than Batman, showing that his years of journalism career is not a decoration.
The situation of Nanke and Qianxue is similar. When Qianxue is next to him, Nanke unconsciously handed over the brain-using work to Qianxue, and was responsible for being funny (Superman made Batman a detective and a thug himself); when Qianxue is not next to him, Nanke has no military advisor to rely on (replaced by foodie Xia Chi and Jade who obeys orders), so he has to assume the responsibility of a temporary think tank for the team.
When Qianxue was fighting with Gu Kangming, she once commented on Nanke, who was cheating and said, "People are forced out." This sentence is suitable for the Milky Way. Even the Kryptonians are unwilling to use their brains to be lazy even if they have Batman present.
"Master Emperor," Jade reported after self-testing of the remaining magic power, "Now the magic consumption of [Snake Demon Scale Armor] has returned to normal value. It turns out that the high priest has tampered with you... It's about 400 meters away from the bottom of the mine pit, and there is no more fork in the road ahead. As long as the number of resurrected corpses does not suddenly increase, we still have the possibility..."
Nanke shook his head and interrupted Jade:
"According to the psychology 'Murphy's Law' taught by Teacher Chading in Chinese class, the more you worry about, the more you will happen. As long as the situation is likely to get worse, it will definitely get worse! Since the high priest is the mastermind behind the scenes, then we are completely ambushed by others. How can we still childishly believe that the number of resurrection corpses will not suddenly increase? And I always feel that these resurrection corpses are strange, and they may not be the real resurrection corpses..."
"What's the point of this... isn't a soul-resurrect corpse?" Sudden surprises changed the tone of jade. "I didn't get a blood sacrifice from them, so they are definitely not living people. If they are zombies, their actions are too agile..."
When Nanke talked to Jade, he had already started to move forward. He swung his knife to cut off a soul-resurrect corpse in the middle, and practiced to avoid the dirty blood splashed out from the incision - dry and sticky, and it was definitely not the blood of living creatures.
"Yes, these are not zombies. Zombies are walking dead without souls, while resurrection corpses bind the souls of the dead inside the corpse. Soulless zombies without souls move slowly, while resurrection corpses with chaotic souls move quickly... But don't you think that the resurrection corpses who fight with us are agile, but do not show the characteristics of the soul-containing ones?"
Jade looked at the two bodies of the resurrection corpse under her feet, and the face of the corpse did not show any wisdom above instinct. What drove them to act was obviously a simple command or a primitive desire to kill.
Although I cannot be sure what the living zombie in front of me is, when it comes to the soul, Jade suddenly had an idea and had an idea.
"Mr. Master Yuuka Ishii's soul is still wandering on the edge. According to the contract, as his former ring spirit, I have the power to drag his soul from the edge! The human soul can be used as a prop to replenish magic. As long as I devour his soul, my magic will be quickly replenished!"
"So that's it," Nanke nodded, "The nearby resurrection corpses have been cleared. I will create two more ice walls to sandwich us in the middle to avoid sudden attacks... You remove the [Snake Demon Scale Armor] from the ring, devour Yuuo Ishii's soul to replenish the magic power, and then let's continue moving forward!"
Time is precious. Nan Ke first aimed the snake ring on his little finger with his right hand at the ground to release the ring spirit, then used the white ring on his middle finger to release the bone-permeable cold air, and used two half-foot-thick ice walls to separate the mine path into a safe space.
Jade also knew that she had to race against time. She knelt on the ground according to her usual habits, raised her hands flat on her chest and palms, and began to recite a spell in the magic verb.
Nanke, wearing the Emperor Ring, could understand the Demonic Interpretation, but he devoted more energy to defending the enemy, so he only heard a short paragraph behind:
"The mortal who has made a contract with me, you have entered the valley of death, and in the name of Solomon's Code, please keep your promise..."
As the spell approaches, a lilac sphere slightly larger than the heart appears between the palms of the emerald. Its shape is very similar to a flame, with darker edges, and lighter core colors, or even translucent.
"Is this the soul of human beings?" Nanke widened his eyes. "It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. It's very similar to the kind that often appears in comic books."
Suddenly, the soul ball trembled violently, and Yuuo Ishii's twisted and painful face appeared on its surface. The jadeite ex-Prince seemed to be roaring something loudly, but the sound was like a thousand mountains away, and the strange scene seemed to be watching a silent movie.
"I originally planned to let you suffer more torture on the edge," Jade's eyes showed some coldness that belonged to the Avengers, "but in order to protect my current emperor, I had to eat you in advance."
Yuuo Ishii's face was sometimes far and sometimes close on the soul ball, whirling left and right, twisting and twisting. Nanke didn't know what he wanted to express, but the only thing that was certain was that he had no future.
"Crack!" The jade cherry-red lips slowly opened, and then with the pleasure of revenge, they suddenly bit hard.
Yuuo Ishii's soul ball burst instantly, and turned into a handful of soul fragments emitting faint light in Emerald's hands. Nanke seemed to hear Yuuo Ishii's silent howl.
When the jade put these pieces into his mouth and chewed them, each piece of soul fragment felt boundless pain, and the ultimate recipient of all pain could only be Yuuo Ishii.
It only takes a few seconds for jade, but it is as long as several centuries for Yuuo Ishii. After swallowing Yuuo Ishii, Yuuo Ishii began to digest the soul at an astonishing speed and transform it into its own magic.
During this period, Nanke almost treated jade as an ordinary human girl. Only after seeing jade devouring the soul with his own eyes did Nanke realize that jade is a different species from him and a demon who can treat human souls as food.
"Will this happen again after I die?" Nanke suddenly asked Jade.
Yuro Ishii's soul is violent and crazy, not particularly delicious, but it is still fresher than the soul of Kazumiya that he had eaten in the wilderness. Jade is sucking in the taste between his lips and teeth, but he suddenly heard Nan Ke ask again:
"Will you eat my soul like this in the future? After I die?"
"I..." Jade felt extremely guilty about the enjoyment expression she had just shown inadvertently. She knelt on the ground and turned to Nanke to beg for forgiveness.
