Salinger's Hair-Removal Technique

Memory can influence personality, but it cannot fully represent personality; this is what Neph is most concerned about in the case of Azik.

The other half of the soul belonging to the "Artificial God of Death" contains Azik's memories as the "Death Archon." Retrieving those memories would likely transform him into that ruthless "Death Archon," but if these memories were erased, would Azik remain the same?

Neph wasn't actually confident.

However, this is only one aspect of the problem. She shook her head slightly and continued, "Moreover, whether that door can be opened, and whether it should be opened at this time, should be left to My Lord to decide..."

So, Lord, please say something!

The "True Creator" remained silent, and Neph seriously considered the possibility of taking this as tacit agreement—logically speaking, Azik should at least have the Evernight Goddess and Adam watching over him, and for these two to send Azik to her at this time, they must be prepared...?

Should I ask again...?

While Neph was still struggling with her decision, Azik spoke up, "I want to go and take a look at that Mausoleum first."

Neph forced a smile and replied, "I need to pray to my My Lord first."

Mr. Azik seemed to have anticipated this; he nodded slightly and said:

No rush.

"Tell me about Klein's situation in detail first."

"Although I am unfamiliar with the ascension Ritual of the ' Miracle Invoker,' as far as I know, the ' God of Wishes, ' Kotar, occasionally appeared during the Third Epoch, but has not appeared since the Fourth Epoch. Some even suspect that He has perished... How did Klein find Kotar?"

Neph answered without hesitation, "Of course I told him."

Mr. Azik did not respond, but looked at her silently, gesturing for her to continue. Neph hesitated for a few seconds, then said:

"Since the Fourth Epoch, Kotar has remained in the ' Forsaken Land of the Gods,' a space completely isolated from the outside world. This is why you cannot contact Klein."

The "Forsaken Land of the Gods" is isolated from the outside world not only in space but also from the Spirit World. When Klein first obtained the "Staff of Stars Staff of Stars," he attempted to use it to travel to the outside world, but clearly, he failed.

Moreover, even prayer was forbidden in this land. The Seven Gods and the "True Creator" were thus separated at opposite ends by the "Giant King’s Court." Everyone was curious about the current state of the "Dark Angel" Sasrir behind that door, but no one dared to touch it.

Speaking of which, I'll have to remind Klein later that when fighting Sasrir, we should grab the stone tablet first... and also, don't let Lovia go in...

A jumble of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Neph continued speaking:

"Kotar is very cautious, and killing him won't be easy. Klein might be stuck inside for a long time. If you want to contact Klein... his Messenger have a way to get the letter in. Of course, I can also deliver it for you if needed."

Azik for a few seconds, then immediately stated, "I will confirm this with his Messenger."

"Then remember to have him give you the Copper Whistle as well," Neph said.

The matter was settled, and this is how the "True Creator" responded to the decision:

"The Death God possesses the Authority over death and pallor; under this Authority, resurrection becomes more difficult, and some methods of resurrection may even fail."

"However, it can also pollute the holder, so you need to be extra careful."

This response left Neph somewhat bewildered, because she wasn't asking for precautions, but rather for advice, but the "True Creator's" attitude...

Neph hesitated for a few seconds, then summoned Klein from the Pure White Space.

"I have good news for you," she told Klein, "I might have a way to help you solve the Kotar problem."

"Maybe?" Klein repeated, his expression curious.

>p/<". Say you'll come back to me again": said vaguely, not saying in detail, shaking her head slightly, Funai

>p/<". The news is good, I hope it's true", and I agree with Enlake ", okay"

>p/<. Enlake went back again, and Funa nodded silently.

>p/<... This is a question, but it is a matter of fact that Enlake is targeting this plan, and she is almost certain that it has a very strong hidden meaning in her response to "the true nature of the creator". Only when Funai and her surroundings were left with their own entanglements did they become entangled.

>p/<? Without Him, the only path is "the death of God" --

>p/<... It is not good to believe in the opposite of what is said, but to believe in the truth. The difference between Him and the symbolic "God died and created man" is too great. He would not accept the symbolic origin of "God died and created man." On the other hand, blind faith is very unjust to Him. His nature is solely focused on the ultimate truth. It is easy to obtain His oneness through this. Logically speaking...

>p/<... Is it possible that He will take it away and steal it? I'm afraid I'll give Him this kind of oneness, but there's no fusion between Him and Athena, and Athena is not yet a god. It's a problem, but in terms of reason and emotion, oneness is the only way to communicate. From these two perspectives...

>p/<. The world has returned to a new state, her lips slightly pursed, her fingers tapping on the table above her, confused and bewildered.

>p/<. She must be in this place for a long time, this is the meaning, this is the only path to "divine death" in the Pure White of space, which may be absolutely impossible for Funa, the internal source of trouble will be released, this is the only existence in this kind of level.

>p/<. Falling meteorites could cause the heavens to fall, but that's not necessarily true. It's a matter of one level of nature, and if we consider it a matter of principle, then it's possible to directly steal it away. If the goddess of the night doesn't speak of principle, then...

>p/<. She needs a small, thoughtful reminder, like that "real" thing—it's just like that.

>p/<. What is the legal process for handling this matter? It's clear that Enlai received a letter from Enlake before and after that. Everything is in this situation now.

>p/<"? The only path to 'God's death' is not without reason, I can help you with the law, I can say," think all if Enlake "? Go to the tomb of God's death to visit you"

>p/<. Go where, you don't understand it, I've never touched it before, do you know," said Funai, "I don't have a grip."

", Dao Youyou Enlake", "more than the 'lightning Rodorio's technique' compared to what I heard"

"Hmm, it's more reliable than ' Herabergen’s Pest-Removal Technique '..."

Neph's lips twitched. It was actually she who started calling it "Summoning Lightning," inspired by "Herabergen’s Pest-Removal Technique" and "Stiano’s Golden Armor Technique," but it was rare for Klein to address True God so directly, even joking about it.

"I think I've corrupted you," she shook her head, "Of course, not completely. I think this move could be called..."

After a few seconds of hesitation, Neph spoke, "Salinger's Hair-Removal Technique."

"...?" Klein looked puzzled.

Neph explained:

"As you've probably already noticed, the Mythical Creature Form of the Seer Pathway is a cluster of ' Spirit Worm ' huddled together. Therefore, every single wolf hair on Kotar's body is actually a ' Spirit Worm '..."

"But it's not just the fur that's being shed..." Klein subtly reminded him, "While His fur is indeed from ' Spirit Worm,' so are His bones and flesh!"

"That would be more entertaining," Neph said. "Or do you have a good name?"

Klein honestly shook his head.

And so the name of this "Mysticism" was decided. When Mr. Azik appeared with the Copper Whistle, Neph handed over the Ring. Azik picked up the Ring and then revealed the reason for his Oldest One decision:

"I can feel something calling to me, deep within the Berserk Sea, but no matter how many times I pass by, I can't find its target."

"If what you're saying is correct, that should be the Mausoleum we're looking for."

The former "Death Archon" spoke in a low, emotionless voice. Neph looked at him, wanting to say something, but he didn't give Neph a chance to speak, only suddenly raising his eyes and asking:

"You know that place so well, you even know the exact location?"

"I don't know," Neph said.

She, of course, couldn't possibly know that the "Artificial God of Death" sealed within the Mausoleum seemed to have little to no aggregation effect; only Azik could sense it through his other half of his soul.

Azik nodded knowingly and said, "Follow me."

The surrounding colors instantly became vibrant, like a chaotic oil painting. Neph knew this was the Spirit World. She didn't visit often, and after a few curious glances, she followed Azik.

Although Neph once joked with Klein that "Travel" in the Spirit World was essentially like becoming a spirit and running wildly, this analogy is actually inaccurate.

Unlike living beings who exist in the form of flesh and blood, spirits, freed from the constraints of a physical body, are Feather Fall and freer. They are not actually running, but rather "floating"—floating at extremely high speeds.

Colored patches flashed by rapidly. Neph followed Azik for an unknown amount of time, finally entering the Berserk Sea region swept by a black Storm and streaked with dark lightning.

Just then, the dark, cold square Ring and the exquisite, antique brass whistle simultaneously flickered with a faint light, illuminating Azik's face.

This "Death Archon," a survivor of the Fourth Epoch, closed his eyes, listening intently to the calls that seemed to come from nowhere, then clenched his right fist tightly.

All the surrounding Spirit World scenery collapsed inward, transforming into a slowly rotating, boundless dark vortex.

The vortex suddenly expanded, swallowing them whole.

At the end of the vortex lay a dark and chilling Mausoleum, surrounded by open coffins, each containing a decaying corpse with white feathers growing on its back.

Neph looked at Azik, who was gazing at the layers of steps leading into the depths of the Mausoleum, where thick black mist hung in the air, flowing slowly like a haze.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Azik turned around and asked, "How much do you know about me?"

"Not much," Neph shook her head. "I've never actively peered into your memories, nor have I learned about your history. Therefore, I only know your origins and a few episodes in your life."

Azik then asked, "Based on your understanding, what kind of person do you think I am?"

>p/<". Xiang Zhenchu Qing was eager for more, but, having gone through that period of 'officialdom and death', he felt very resistant... I felt: He opened his mouth hesitantly, slightly startled.

>p/<"What kind of person am I? Am I passionate or indifferent? Am I evil or good? Come and see me," said Kezi, "I don't know."

>p/<: Hesitantly opening his mouth, he pondered for a few seconds... I asked you this, is it...?

>p/<"... It is argued that the nature of a person is not determined by their perception of others, and that different people will not appear in the same situation under different circumstances. I tell you that this is what I have learned through learning."

>p/<: The question was asked, but it was clear that she couldn't accept it. She had already tried to answer this question.

>p/<.'The witness of everything'--Your name, the venerable one, has understood the Enlake from me"

>p/<... My life, from the beginning to the end, is that of the 'official' who died in the war? What are your thoughts? I have witnessed the lives of those who came after me. Can you tell me, since you have already said so?"

>p/<"? Who will recognize my true talent?"

>p/<!? I don't know how I can live with this mental illness, but... there's a problem with him now, he let me... let it go... it's over.

>p/<"? Ma'an, I've heard you say this": He opened his mouth and pondered, biting his lip. Funa

>p/<. word this time one repeated kz a"? anchor.

>p/<: Open your mouth slowly, exhale gently, and exhale completely.

>p/<. The origin of the heterosexuality is extraordinary and unique, which is what you possess, your fourth generation, 'anchor' belongs to you and you do not, and the path to your position is very serious and will be affected by the death of the heir.

>p/<. Those are the memories of those who were born, those who possessed their own 'anchor', and those who are constantly reincarnated, you will also lose this identity, and die in the fall of a god."

>p/<". You, the true person, have only just appeared and developed your talents. After that, those memories of you have become stable and certain.

Why would I remember those things again, since that's how it is?

"Am I in Affliction?" Azik continued, "According to you, an 'anchor' should be beneficial..."

"No," Neph denied, "As far as I know, 'anchor' should be a means of combating pollution with pollution..."

"Fighting pollution with pollution..." Azik slowly repeated, "So you still haven't answered who the real me is."

No, you can understand it that way... Neph resisted the urge to kick him deep into the Mausoleum, shook her head and asked:

"I don't really understand why you're so hung up on these things—your past experiences, they all make up who you are, every part of your life that you remember is a part of you, but none of them are the complete you."

"I can see that you don't want your life to overlap with that of the ' Death Archon,' and like I said, if you don't mind, I can help you Forgetting those parts of the past you don't like..."

>p/<. What do you mean by this, Kez? The effect is guaranteed, but you say it's not true. But...

>p/<. "I should agree to let him hold on to whether or not I can control the situation... This matter should be brought up, if you need it, and, who knows if I can guarantee the effect, or," Funa took a deep breath, "I have a way to guarantee the effect."

>p/<. She turned and walked towards the deep mausoleum, not uttering a word, her eyes sweeping over all the thoughts in the world. She seemed to have a deep respect for him, her voice carrying a hint of reverence.
