Tell You the Truth!
As expected,
Lin Xiaowei didn't reply immediately; there's always a slight delay in cross-industry chatting.
Li Yao put away his phone, and it wasn't until he returned to the hotel that Li Yao received Lin Xiaowei's reply, "Oh, why are you being so dramatic? Tell me, what's wrong? Tell me so Daddy can be happy~"
This is fucking...
The gloom that had accumulated at Jiang Zhiying's house vanished instantly.
Li Yao held back for a while before telling Lin Xiaowei about Jiang Zhiying.
Then,
Lin Xiaowei also fell silent.
Lin Xiaowei and Li Yao are not very old—oh, Lin Xiaowei time-traveled. Because of the misalignment of the time point she jumped into, Lin Xiaowei lived for more than ten years.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Xiaowei is a woman with a soul in her thirties? Wow! Compared to her, I'm practically a greenhorn! Feeling smug! But no matter what, neither of them has ever deeply experienced the dark side of this world.
Li Yao had just graduated from university, while Lin Xiaowei, whether on Earth or in this other world, was lucky enough to meet people who could protect her from the storms of life. They were fortunate, but there were many unfortunate people in this world.
The two of them held their phones for a long time, unsure of what to say.
Finally, Lin Xiaowei asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "Send Jiang Zhiying to your place? Is there any way to do that?"
Lin Xiaowei: "..."
Bro!
"Your imagination is truly boundless! Are you planning to open an ' Earth Otherworld Affairs Office ' on Earth?" Lin Xiaowei paused for a moment and said, "Given our current abilities, the Summoning Altar is the only means we can use. However, there are limitations to summoning and teleporting intelligent life through the Summoning Altar."
Life without intelligence—
Summoning things like germs or animals is not a big problem.
Previously, Li Yao asked Lin Xiaowei to send him some otherworldly creatures, and Lin Xiaowei readily agreed.
However, if an intelligent being is teleported through Summoning Altar —at the moment of being summoned, the soul of the intelligent being will be imprinted on the root of the summoning law. In other words, when an intelligent being is summoned from one world to another, then the intelligent being that becomes the summoned object belongs to the summoner in both body and mind.
Even if the summoner breaks the summoning contract, it cannot restore the summoner's freedom.
Because after the summoning contract is broken, the summoned intelligent being will be sent back to the source of the summoning law, becoming a mark, trapped there, like being imprisoned.
Until the next summons with a similar description and matching cost.
When you get to that point,
The only way to escape is to be completely destroyed, even the chance to return to the source of the summoning will be erased.
This is why Lin Xiaowei didn't allow Li Yao to summon her back to Earth through the Summoning Altar.
Once that happens, Lin Xiaowei will no longer belong to herself, nor to Li Yao.
She will belong to the rules and will never be free unless she is completely destroyed.
After Lin Xiaowei explained these things clearly, Li Yao felt a slight pain in his tooth roots.
After thinking for a long time,
Li Yao then asked, "What happens to ordinary people after they die? Is there reincarnation?"
Lin Xiaowei replied, "No... After a living being dies, the soul of most living beings will quickly dissipate, decompose, and return to the spiritual realm. Only in very special circumstances can they naturally transform into undead, or through the transformation of liches or Death Knight."
Even if the transformation is successful, it will be a completely new life form.
Most undead forget their past lives, but as they grow stronger and their soul fire grows more powerful, they begin to remember things from their previous lives.
But that's no use now.
That's just a side effect of the undead raising their own rank.
Past lives and present lives
It's not the same anymore.
After hearing this, Li Yao couldn't help but curl his lips: Sure enough, the Netherworld, hell and reincarnation are all lies.
Therefore, Li Yao asked, "What's the difference between death and dissipation and being erased?"
Lin Xiaowei: "..."
Okay, okay! You're absolutely right!
Lin Xiaowei: "But you have to get their consent first!"
Li Yao confidently declared, "Leave the rest to me!"
For some reason, Lin Xiaowei had a bad feeling, but when she sent a message to ask, Li Yao had already silenced his phone and tossed it aside—he was so busy! His days were fully scheduled, leaving no room for waste.
The next day, Li Yao packed up and headed to Jiang Zhiying's house.
Jiang Zhiying wasn't there this time; the nanny opened the door instead. When Li Yao saw Jiang Zhiying again, the pale-faced, thin girl suppressed a laugh and said, "Wow, Group Owner, you come here so often!"
Li Yao sat down familiarly and asked, "Where's your sister?"
Jiang Zhiying: "I'm going back."
Li Yao: "Let her come over. I have some important things to tell you."
Jiang Zhiying was stunned. "What's the matter? Why are you so serious?"
Li Yao said, "We'll talk about it when we get here, so I don't have to say it twice."
Jiang Zhiying: "..."
She took out her phone and called her sister.
Jiang Zhiying has some things to take care of at home today, so she will be delayed for a while.
Li Yao didn't care. He usually studied magic in the tavern anyway, so this was just a change of environment.
Jiang Zhiying's place is quite nice, and the decoration is also quite stylish.
He went to the living room to study magic...
This is where the superiority of smartphones becomes apparent.
Holding a mobile phone allows you to study all kinds of magical knowledge, which is much more comfortable than carrying a thick Magic Book.
In some respects, technological products are indeed much more convenient.
after all,
To boost sales, you have to consider the aspect of user-friendly operation.
If users are satisfied with the product, it will sell well! This is one of the unchanging truths in marketing.
This pleasure isn't limited to physical sensations; psychological experience is also crucial. This is the principle most luxury brands utilize.
It wasn't until almost afternoon that Jiang Zhiying arrived at Little Stone City. She pushed open the door and came in, her breathing unsteady, having lost her composure.
Li Yao looked at Jiang Zhiying, and his eyes narrowed immediately!
Jiang Zhiying was wearing a loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt with puff sleeves and a beige wool coat. When she hung up the coat, the loose sleeves slipped down, revealing long and ugly whip marks.
The whip marks were bluish-purple, a deep, dark color.
It's obvious that they put in a lot of effort.
Li Yao lowered his eyes, pretending not to see anything.
After hanging up the clothes, Jiang Zhiying smiled and said, "I told you yesterday to come often, and I didn't expect you to come again today. Have you eaten yet? Are you having dinner here?"
Li Yao put away his phone, stood up, and said, "Let's talk in Jiang Zhiying's room."
Once everyone had arrived...
Li Yao closed the door and faced the Jiang Zhiying sisters, saying, "I'll tell you the truth today. Do you know who I am?"
Jiang Zhiying and her sister were stunned.
you...
Who is it?
Li Yao said calmly, "Actually, I am a Soul Ferryman."
Jiang Zhiying: "???"
Jiang Zhiying: "???"
