<h4>Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Will You Kill the One You Love?</h4>


    The ck mist appeared over this female.


    Her eyes were pitch ck, gazing deeply into Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes: "You will kill us, kill everyone."


    "Including the person you love."


    The ice de formed from frost, ruthlessly pierced the mermaid’s chest.


    As blood flowed and dripped into the ocean, Shi Xie wiped away the tears from the corner of Xiao Jinsheng’s eye, smiling to console: "Female Master, don’t cry, I am willing to sacrifice for you."


    "I could protect you when I was young." Li smiled with red eyes, looking at the hand that pierced through his chest, tightly holding onto Xiao Jinsheng’s wrist near his heart: "There’s no reason I can’t protect you when I’ve grown up."


    Familiar figures, one by one, fell before her eyes, died by her hands.


    A cold, ghostly voice whispered constantly in her ear.


    "You will... kill everyone..."


    "You will, kill them..."


    "Kill! Them!"


    "Xiao Jinsheng!" An anxious voice echoed beside her.


    But Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t hear anything.


    She could only see her bloodstained knife, and at her feet, Su Ye kneeling in a pool of blood with his throat cut.


    His golden eyes were smiling, even if he couldn’t speak, he was doing his best to appease her with hisst bit of life force.


    "Xiao Jinsheng—"


    The shouts beside her grew louder.


    But Xiao Jinsheng could only see herself walking to the basement.


    With each step down the staircase, her foot would get stained with sticky blood.


    Just as Xiao Jinsheng pushed open the door, her eyes were caught by the flickering ink-purple scales inside.


    A p of thunder suddenly exploded in her ear.


    The echo vibrated, resonating in her mind.


    Xiao Jinsheng sat up, clutching her ears, not yet recovered, only to see Lou Yan Zhi squatting beside her with a gong about to strike again.


    "No, no, no, I’m awake, I’m already awake!" Xiao Jinsheng reached out to stop him.


    "I don’t believe it." Lou Yan Zhi shook his head, and with a loud ’boom,’ it resonated again in Xiao Jinsheng’s mind.


    "Awake now—"


    Xiao Jinsheng shouted: "I’m really awake!"


    "See, dealing with a heart demon requires someone experienced like me, a cultivator." Lou Yan Zhi happily threw the copper gong to Caicai, who had turned back into a scallion.


    "I just felt something was off, like a hallucination." Xiao Jinsheng sighed.


    She stood up and looked around.


    She found that all thirty thousand plus people from Courtyard Ny-Seven were immobilized by her using the intelligent brain.


    "What just happened?" Xiao Jinsheng inquired.


    "Because a Beastman exploded, and then a voice impersonated the world consciousness to issue an announcement."


    "There was chaos here, and for everyone’s safety, the intelligent brain immobilized them temporarily."


    "You are the one who fell unconscious when everyone was immobilized, confronting a heart demon."


    Even though others weren’t far away and might hear them, Lou Yan Zhi spoke discreetly, which Xiao Jinsheng understood.


    It should be that when she was controlling the star system map to control these people, her attention was diverted, allowing the terminal to take advantage.


    "You’re crying." Lou Yan Zhi said as he tossed a clean handkerchief into herp: "So what did your heart demon show you?"


    "Tell me." Lou Yan Zhi smiled: "I have a lot of experience dealing with heart demons."


    "I... I killed them." Xiao Jinsheng choked.


    "Hmm?" Lou Yan Zhi was taken aback.


    Killed them?


    What could cause Xiao Jinsheng so much pain?


    Did she kill her Beast Husband by any chance?


    Thinking this, Lou Yan Zhiforted, "Killing a few Beast Husbands, that’s no big deal."


    "In my previous world, there are two kinds of Heartless Paths."


    "One is the Great Heartless Path."


    "This emphasizes no-self, non-attachment, and great love, a type of transcendental cultivation not feasible for themon person."


    "The other is the path of murdering a husband/wife to prove the path, that’s a sidetrack with a lot of practitioners."


    "Now that you’re cultivating the Heartless Path, eventually, by killing, with so many people, maybe by the advantage of numbers, you can cultivate and ascend in the Otherworld."


    Xiao Jinsheng didn’t speak, just looked at him with a cold, ghostly gaze.


    Lou Yan Zhi was unfazed by her murderous look, and took back the copper gong, striking another ’boom’ before Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes.


    Shaking Xiao Jinsheng to the point where golden stars appeared before her eyes, he then nodded satisfied: "Looks like this time you are really awake."


    "I was just joking earlier."


    Lou Yan Zhi exined: "Someone trapped by a heart demon, it doesn’t mean you’re awake just because you opened your eyes, your consciousness has to be clear to be truly awake."


    If she wasn’t clear-headed.


    The things he just said.


    Xiao Jinsheng wouldn’t just be hostile to him.


    Instead, she would pick up a weapon, going to kill her Beast Husband, trying to prove her path and be immortal.


    "But your heart demon was you killing them." Lou Yan Zhi pondered: "Have you been under some psychological pressuretely?"


    "Why do you speak in such a mishmash ofnguages?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.


    Lou Yan Zhi was puzzled: "What do you mean?"


    "You have a hint of the Cultivation World vor, and a bit of the Interster World vor." Xiao Jinsheng chose an exnation he could understand.


    "It’s normal, I’m cultivating interster." Lou Yan Zhi replied.


    "The reason behind my heart demon, I probably know now." Xiao Jinsheng murmured.


    She quickly pulled up the star system map and checked around again.


    She didn’t find any trace of the terminal.


    Puzzled, she said: "The data for the terminal, I’ve already recorded through the star system map, I can confirm the terminal didn’t infiltrate the Mist Base at all."


    "It didn’te, but it released fear inside." Lou Yan Zhi answered.


    Hearing this, Xiao Jinsheng understood the problem.


    These people from Cloud Ind were all exploited through their emotions by the terminal.


    And the terminal itself is a Negative Energy Body.


    It loves nothing more than feeding on negative emotions.


    Likewise, it can travel through negative emotions, even possess a body to manifest.


    "Let’s arrange them first." Xiao Jinsheng sighed.


    Also, knowing through the star system map that her Beast Husband was unharmed, she felt relieved.


    However, these people from Cloud Ind were bombs delivered by the terminal.


    Yet she, from the very start, reached out to receive them.


    It was naturally impossible to just throw them out again.


    "Let’s start the work clock." Lou Yan Zhi held a brush in his mouth and a stack of yellow paper in his hands.


    "I’m the only one who knows the Heart rity Spell here." Lou Yan Zhi used the brush to gather energy and drewplicated runes on the paper.


    The runes glowed with azure blue light and automatically flew to the forehead of someone immobilized by the intelligent brain.


    "Stick it on for a quarter of an hour before taking it down, guaranteed he’ll have a clear heart and no desires for the next three months." Lou Yan Zhi said.


    "Hey! Sticking the talisman!" Caicai excitedly reached out: "Let me stick it, let me stick it."


    This is its favorite kind of work.


    Xiao Jinsheng also loved doing it.


    Taking a stack ofpleted talismans from Lou Yan Zhi.


    She walked towards a red-eyed, snarling Beastman who looked like trouble at a nce.


    Once the talisman was applied, that fierce gaze instantly became clear.


    Just now, when Xiao Jinsheng fell into her heart demon right beside him, Ying was afraid to leave her side.


    While Xiao Jinsheng applied the talismans, he helped hold them and stayed by her side.


    Thirty thousand people’s talismans.


    Lou Yan Zhi’s hand was so overworked from drawing.


    Only one person, a cat, and a scallion to stick them.


    There were still a lot of negative emotions here.


    Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t dare let otherse.


    Even she herself just fell into the trap earlier.


    That kind of fear steeped in regret still surged into her heart from time to time.


    Frightened, Xiao Jinsheng immediately pped a talisman firmly onto her own forehead.


    The crisis at Courtyard Ny-Seven is temporarily resolved.


    And the terminal Xiao Jinsheng was searching for, floated leisurely in the corner where the insect brain camped.
