Chapter 128 Sadness
"Hasta!"
Shihui's eyes were cold, and he suppressed his anger as he read out the name word by word.
As the name was recited, the strange totem on Roots's head shone brightly, almost enveloping the entire room. Only the faint film on the lime's body blocked the strange light from its body.
The rest of the people in the room fell to their knees after hearing the name. They covered their heads with their hands, their faces full of pain, and kept groaning.
"Well……!"
"Head...head hurts..."
"My head feels so swollen... so uncomfortable..."
The shrill buzzing sound beside my ears seemed to be the praise of countless voices, which were thirsting for the untouchable knowledge.
For mortals, even hearing the false names of these indescribable things is not something their mental strength can endure.
This is especially taboo in a world that has been severely invaded by the Old Ones.
Even to mention his name could result in the most despairing curse.
But Shihui was completely unaware that even calling out the names of the most special existence among these taboos would have no effect on her.
It's just that she herself didn't realize it.
Seeing the painful expressions on their faces, she had no choice but to close her magic eye and pull them up from the ground.
"You guys go to the next room first. This matter is a bit tricky. Staying here will only affect you and me."
Lixia rubbed her temples and responded with difficulty: "Okay, Ms. Hilde..."
For things that are beyond her knowledge, she also knows that it is not necessary to know them to be good. Sometimes fools have their own happiness.
Once you are involved in something that you cannot understand or bear, you will definitely collapse or die without a burial place.
Lixia held her child and quickly left the room with the help of Yi Ke. Her expression eased a little after she reached the next room.
Whenever she tried to recall the name, she would feel intense pain and dizziness, and gradually the name seemed to be forcibly erased from her mind.
This made her even more wary, and her suspicions about lime continued to rise.
After sending a few people to the next room, Shihui finally turned his attention back to the ring.
"This ring is indeed closely connected to Hastur..."
She noticed that the Ring of Evil Thoughts in her hand was moving again, which gave her a headache and she didn't know what to do.
She tried to take off the ring more than once, but no matter how hard she tried, it seemed to be grown on her finger and could not be taken off by brute force.
No one can accept the idea of having a time bomb tied to their body.
Mambo jumped out of the system and analyzed the Ring of Evil Thoughts for a long time. His expression kept changing. After a while, he slowly said, "The material this thing is made of is very evil. It seems that the guy imprisoned the souls of countless believers in it, and then created this weird thing."
Shihui frowned slightly. She didn't have high expectations for the props made by those monsters, so she was not overly shocked after Mambo's explanation. Instead, she felt it was very natural.
If Hastur had made this ring out of perfectly normal materials, there would have been serious problems.
—What should we do? This thing seems to be closely connected with the totem, and it seems to be reviving!
Mambo scratched his chin with a frown and said, "The reason why this thing resonates is because the large number of souls melted in the ring sense the master's call. If you can find a way to isolate it, it can be easily solved."
"After all, this is just a mark that guy left behind carelessly, so the energy isn't particularly strong. There's no need to worry about him sensing it or causing backlash!"
After hearing this, Shihui nodded thoughtfully, which made her feel less threatened by this mark.
"Isolation? How exactly can I isolate the ring?... How much energy and skill would it take to block the perception of countless souls..."
—With Mambo, if I use that green soul fire, can I isolate it?
Mambo shrugged and said, "Who knows? You try it first. I can't be here for too long, as this will only increase your mental fatigue and weakness. I'm leaving now!"
After she finished speaking, she went back into the system interface and shut down the entire system.
'Soul Fire'
Shihui silently recited the skill in her mind, and as her palm turned, a wisp of light green flame appeared out of thin air on her palm.
This flame is like the most common flower in the countryside, quietly blooming with this faint light. There is no temperature or fluctuation on the flame, as if it was frozen there.
Shihui felt that something inside him seemed to be burning, as if his self was being eaten away bit by bit. All kinds of negative emotions came flooding back into his heart like a tide, and the feeling of loneliness and despair continued to hit his soul.
"So this is the side effect, it's like a despair potion..."
She recovered from her stupor and manipulated the green spark to quickly wrap around the Ring of Evil Thoughts.
"Buzz!"
After being wrapped in the soul fire, the Ring of Evil Thoughts was like an ant on a frying pan. Its dozens of centipede legs kept rising and falling and struggling, but it soon completely stopped moving and turned into an ordinary ring again.
Seeing this, Hui Shi was a little shocked and couldn't help but sigh: "It really works, am I a genius?"
Just as she showed a hint of joy, her face turned cold again: "Even if you are a genius, it's useless. It's better to destroy this world..."
That feeling of pleasure was forcibly devoured by the side effects of the soul fire, making it difficult for her to have any positive thoughts in her heart.
Now Maud can only rely on her reason to act, but for some reason she is too lazy to even move. She just wants to lie in bed and sleep until the world is destroyed.
"It's too early to despair now. Let's try to remove this mark first, and then we can question this guy thoroughly..."
Before, Shihui was not sure whether Luo Ci was the culprit, but now after seeing the mark of backlash on his forehead, she was sure that this guy was the culprit. As for whether it was a gang crime, she could only find out after she woke up and interrogated him.
The lime finger gently touched Roz's forehead again, and the soul fire flowed down along the finger. The flame was not affected by the ice at all and easily penetrated through.
-1 Health
-1 Health
-1 Health
Noticing his health points being depleted like running water, Shihui's eyes widened like bells. "Health points are being deducted by the second?! Is this working or not? Let's use the magic eye first..."
Under the observation of the Demon Eye, the Soul Fire began to erode the mark left by Hastur from the edge, but the progress was very slow.
But the strange golden mark was indeed gradually fading, because it was not a mark left intentionally by Hastur, which made it easy to remove.
Seeing this, Shihui wanted to increase the firepower to eliminate it in one fell swoop, but he was afraid that Roots' soul would also be burned and devoured, so he could only rely on this little firepower to waste time.
After all, this kind of flame is not a physical attack, but an attack on the soul level. It is natural to be extremely careful when using lime for the first time.
Because she was very curious about what kind of courage the other party had to betray her and do such a thing.
But even the fire of revenge that had just risen was swallowed up by the huge depression, making him lose all fighting spirit for a while.
Shime couldn't help but think about the pros and cons of this flame, and whether it was suitable for daily use as magic.
"I don't know if increasing the firepower will completely turn me into a dead fish. It seems that this kind of magic can't be used in large quantities during battle. Okay, I will just lose my fighting ability first."
“Mmmmm…!!!”
Rose, who had calmed down, seemed to sense danger. She frowned and struggled and squirmed on the bed, looking very resistant to the flames, trying to break free from her fingers.
Shi Hui could only press his fingers harder on her forehead to prevent her from breaking free easily, otherwise the life value that was being consumed like water might be wasted.
"Is it the mark resisting or is it Rotz himself? Perhaps this big-breasted, brainless fox girl has always been a follower of Hastur."
As the mark was about to disappear, Rotz, who was still struggling, became much more obedient, and even his facial expression returned to normal.
"Is it really effective..."
At this moment, Roz, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly opened her eyes. She quickly jumped up from the bed, grabbed Shihui's neck, and pressed him to the ground with both hands.
The veins on the two arms that were pinching his neck bulged out, and the terrifying power of the third-level demon hunter completely erupted. Even a normal man could not break free from it.
The intense feeling of suffocation caused Shihui's brain to short-circuit again, and she was unable to react for a while. She could only struggle and kick continuously, trying to pry the opponent's arms apart with force, but she could not cause any effect on Roots.
"Damn it... She must be killed!"
Roots rode on the lime waist with lifeless eyes, muttering continuously.
"By the Lord's command... eliminate the heretics..."
