NOVEL WEB Chapter 178
Chapter 178: I Will Definitely Revive You!
“Boss…”
A man couldn’t help trembling as he looked at Cudi, who stood pale-faced with a pierced throat beside Fei Ren. “What did you do to him?”
“Nothing, just helping him atone better.”
As Fei Ren’s gaze swept over the man, she instantly appeared in front of him and thrust her katana into his neck, just like before.
From an outsider’s perspective, the man suddenly became motionless as if frozen, and then Fei Ren casually walked up to him, slowly raising her katana to pierce his throat…
“Didn’t you also shout about atonement just now?”
After five seconds, Fei Ren pulled out the katana and said, “So, I’ll give you this chance to atone for your sins for a lifetime.”
Although the man was physically dead, his consciousness remained trapped within his corpse, which could be seen as a form of atonement… right?
“What kind of joke is this! You monster!!”
Seeing two people turned into Corpse Soldiers, the remaining individuals could no longer bear the fear and erupted. A man pulled out a heavy hammer and shouted, “Everyone attack together! Kill this monster—”
But before he finished, Fei Ren appeared in front of him, and her katana was already lodged in his throat.
“In your eyes… am I a monster?”
Casually turning the third person into a Corpse Soldier, Fei Ren murmured softly, “But I think you all look more like monsters… Not to mention the grotesque ones, you are far more terrifying than ordinary Magic Beasts.”
After all, even if a Magic Beast attacks a person, it won’t pretend to cooperate and stab them in the back… But perhaps the treacherous and cunning Leader of the Monsters might do such things.
“In my view, you have already mutated into monsters, so I will no longer treat you as humans.”
Piercing the fourth person’s neck, Fei Ren said seriously, “However, considering that you were once human, I won’t kill you directly… Instead, I will give you a chance to atone while alive.”
“Isn’t that pretty good?”
In the moment she turned around, Fei Ren paused the time and attacks of three people simultaneously, then strolled to their front… including those who had been petrified, she sequentially turned them into Corpse Soldiers.
Finally, Fei Ren reached Tang Si, who was almost on the verge of breaking down from fear. Tang Si first opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but realizing it was useless, his extreme tension led him to curse instead!
“You monster wearing human skin! You’re no different from the grotesque ones! I have no problem killing you! You deserve to die—”
“Even though I saved you before?”
Looking at the frenzied Tang Si, a hint of disappointment appeared on Fei Ren’s usually calm face. Honestly… if Tang Si had shown any sign of struggling under threat from Cudi’s subordinates, Fei Ren might have forgiven her…
But in reality, this person not only shot the person who saved her without hesitation but also acted so excitedly and fawning after killing her… Was killing her really that enjoyable?
“Why didn’t you listen to me? Why wouldn’t you be my personal bodyguard!! How can a lowly person like you not listen to me? In the outside world, someone like you wouldn’t even have the right to speak to me!”
Under immense pressure, Tang Si finally couldn’t hold back and screamed out everything she had bottled up inside: “If you hadn’t left me alone in this basement, none of this would have happened—”
Unfortunately, Fei Ren wasn’t interested in hearing Tang Si finish. Although she felt guilty for leaving Tang Si alone in the basement, it no longer mattered now. Later, she gave Tang Si, who had killed her once, a chance to atone while alive.
“Quite a power…”
After turning everyone present into Corpse Soldiers, Fei Ren felt this power within her… a power that could keep someone alive to atone. Getting new power was certainly exciting, and normally she should be happy, but not now…
Slowly walking back to Bai Yu, Fei Ren stared at the young boy’s body, which had healed but showed no signs of life. Suddenly, she raised her katana, intending to strike Bai Yu’s neck—
No… This… He doesn’t need atonement! How could she turn him into that kind of existence?
The tip of the katana hovered in the air. Fei Ren wanted to stab down… this would at least bring his physical body back to life, allowing her to deceive herself that he was alive… to keep him by her side forever…
But after much hesitation, Fei Ren ultimately did not stab. She threw the katana aside, sat on the ground, and took deep breaths to alleviate the fatigue from excessive magical energy use…
“There must be a way to revive you!”
Staring at Bai Yu’s face, Fei Ren muttered resolutely, “No matter what… I will definitely bring you back to life! To let you say what you never finished… to fulfill our agreement…”
“Five years, ten years… one hundred years… no matter how many years pass, I will bring you back to life… I will definitely find a way to revive you!”
“Absolutely!”
—
“Onii-chan, your little sister sure doesn’t give up easily…”
On the sofa, Bai Yu watched the scene with disdain, saying, “When the person you want to protect dies, you don’t want to accept it at all, and you wouldn’t say something like ‘the deceased should rest in peace, and the living should move forward’… Instead, you always think about bringing them back—Hey?”
Just then, Bai Yu noticed Ling Li next to him… crying?
“Lili… are you okay?”
This was the first time Bai Yu saw Ling Li cry like this! Even when she cried before, it was because of joy… He reached out to wipe away her tears, then hesitantly asked, “Do you think I did something wrong?”
“No… Master is always right, and this is something foolish little sister has to go through! I understand that rationally!”
Shaking her head, Ling Li whispered, “But as an older sister… emotionally, I can’t accept Xiao Nai being like this.”
“And your part later…”
“I’m sorry, Master. Today… I’m not in a good state, so I probably can’t perform well.”
Lowering her head, Ling Li apologized earnestly, “Whatever punishment you give me later is fine… I’m serious.”
After Bai Yu finished filming, there was actually a script planned where Ling Li would die protecting Fei Ren. But now, Ling Li’s state… was affected by emotions, causing her to lack the ability to perform?
“Seeing you like this, your little sister is always thinking about killing you…”
Looking at Ling Li’s state, Bai Yu couldn’t help shaking his head, “And yet, you cry for such a little sister. With a sister like you, even if you had to choose between her and all of humanity, you would undoubtedly choose her!”
