Suddenly, the Paper Men knelt down in unison. Ke'er hurriedly stepped in front of me, her face pale with fear.
I asked her what was wrong.
Ke'er said that the funeral had already begun. My heart sank at her words, and just then, Wang Wei's wails echoed through the air as he called out my name, Saning.
Even though Ke'er was blocking my way, I had promised Wang Wei that I would help him reclaim his body.
The scene before me was terrifying, but I couldn't go back on my word. Besides, this funeral might not even be for me. I reassured Ke'er that everything would be fine.
Ke'er anxiously called out to me, Husband. I responded, telling her not to worry.
Jianjian looked pale and terrified, while Wind Tree clearly had never seen anything like this before. She called out to her brother and tried to follow me but was stopped by Ke'er.
I stepped forward and approached Wang Wei.
I heard Wang Wei shout, "Damn it, you're finished now."
"You're the one who's finished," the Evil Being within Wang Wei sneered.
Last time, I had almost instinctively pulled Wang Wei's soul from his body. As I got closer, Wang Wei said to me, "Saning, don't think about anything. Just pull his soul out of my body."
Clearing my mind of distractions, I followed Wang Wei's instructions and reached for the soul occupying his body. As my hand made contact with the spirit, it slowly began to break apart into countless tiny sparks.
The screams grew louder as his soul became increasingly faint, the scattered sparks falling into my eyes.
Ke'er and the others were left in shock.
Only Wang Wei laughed maniacally. As he laughed, he began to wail again; after twenty years, he would finally reclaim his body.
"Ke'er" called me "Husband," and she looked at me. I calmly replied, "Ke'er, this is my secret." After saying this, I felt a sudden sense of relief, as if the dark corner of my heart had been illuminated.
Even now, those "Paper Men" kneeling on the ground were already emitting mournful wails from their mouths, but I still paid no attention.
Revealing this secret had lightened my burden significantly.
"Husband, what happened to your eyes?" Ke'er asked.
"My eyes can devour souls, and they have no sclera..." I intended to continue, but the expression on Ke'er’s face changed.
Suddenly, with concern, Ke'er said, "Husband, why is there blood coming from your eyes? Are you going to be okay?"
I looked at Ke'er’s worried expression and assured her that I was fine.
"But the funeral has already begun."
I then asked, "Ke'er, can you accept my strange eyes?"
Ke'er gazed at me and replied, "Husband, no matter how you change, Ke'er will accept you." Just as I was about to say something else, Ke'er reminded me again, "Husband, the funeral has already begun..."
At this moment, the noodles also began to make noise because after the "Paper Men" finished their lamentations, they started bowing down—bowing towards me.
Wang Wei couldn't care less about anything else now; he directly took over his own body. However, I could tell that his body and soul had not fully merged yet.
Nevertheless, Wang Wei was still very excited. He said, "Let's go."
But I couldn't move because I saw the Spirit Tablet shaking. Then I felt a bit of pain in my body; there were two characters missing after "Wu."
However, once it was stained with my blood, it meant that the last two characters referred to me.
Together they formed the name "Wu Saning." Previously, the target of Live Burial was indeed not me, but now it was.
The Spirit Tablet trembled, and with it came a wave of pain. Sweat began to bead on my forehead, and my heart raced as the frequency of the Paper Man's bowing increased.
The pain intensified, and I couldn't help but cry out. Ke'er asked me what was wrong.
I shook my head, cold sweat pouring down my face. Wang Wei and Jianjian also sensed something was off. Jianjian exclaimed, "This is bad; Saning Brother's soul is about to separate from his body."
At that moment, I was still carrying the Wooden Box.
Wang Wei's expression changed as he called out to me, "Saning, are you okay?"
The pain grew stronger. I felt as if my soul was weakening, and my body was slowly unable to bear the agony brought on by this separation.
I began to breathe more heavily.
The sensation felt like thousands of ants gnawing at my body and soul, and my breaths became increasingly labored.
Then I heard Ke'er say, "Jianjian, support my Husband."
Jianjian immediately helped me up, but the Paper Man continued to bow. Wang Wei reacted quickly, charging into the pile of Paper Men, but it had no effect; they seemed nailed in place.
The Paper Men kept bowing their heads while Wang Wei shouted and cursed, yet nothing changed.
Just then, I suddenly felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy. I saw starlike points radiating from around Ke'er, shining like the brightest stars in the night sky.
As the star points moved forward, the Paper Men ignited upon contact with them as if they had encountered flames. Yet I sensed Ke'er’s soul weakening.
And I was weakening too.
I began to feel pain and whispered Ke'er’s name, urging her not to do this.
It seemed that Ke'er was burning her own spiritual power. This "Live Burial" was far too grand for me as the main character. But at that moment, I witnessed something strange: a faceless soul detached itself from Ke'er as she burned her spiritual energy and stood beside her, watching.
"Don't!" Ke'er cried out.
Wind Tree also sensed something and called out "Sister." I let Jianjian release me and walked towards Ke'er, while Paper Man continued to be destroyed.
At that moment, Ke'er was growing weaker by the second.
She was on the verge of fading away, yet I felt a bit better.
However, Paper Man suddenly seemed to multiply endlessly; in reality, it was the Souls that were increasing.
Just then, I heard someone whisper in my ear, "How do you like this funeral?" I couldn't help but shudder.
But the person who spoke was silent and invisible.
Wang Wei seemed to recall something and suddenly smashed the Bronze Mirror in his hand. Once shattered, the Soul inside quickly transformed into Wraiths as he had said.
In an instant, the space was filled with countless star-like points. To me, it felt as if I were amidst a sea of stars.
Wang Wei shouted, "Saning, quickly devour these souls!"
I didn't even need to consume them myself; blood had already begun to flow from my eyes, and the darkness had vanished. The Light Spots of the souls fell into my gaze.
At that moment, Ke'er said to me, "Husband, open the Wooden Box."
The pain seemed to be countered by these Wraiths' star points as I walked towards Ke'er. I couldn't help but glance at the faceless soul; she seemed utterly oblivious, even as Ke'er suffered here in torment.
I pulled Ke'er behind me with one hand. She looked at me for a moment, but instinctively I turned away because my eyes were no longer concealed. I possessed a pair of bloodied white eyes.
A pair of terrifying and eerie eyes; the star points came towards us, landing in my gaze like heavy snow falling onto a lake, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
I turned my head away, unable to meet Keer's gaze directly. She was already very weak, and she called out to me once more, "Husband."
I let out a sound of acknowledgment.
"Husband, let me see your eyes."
I slowly turned my head, and my gaze crossed over to the faceless soul. I nodded towards her, and the faceless soul remained still.
It wasn't until the starlight around me fell upon her that she reacted, then she walked towards Ke'er and finally attached herself to her.
Ke'er's soul appeared to grow stronger.
I told Ke'er not to be afraid.
One of Ke'er's hands reached for my Wooden Box, wanting to open it, but I pressed down to stop her. "Don't open it."
"Husband, your eyes..." Ke'er said, tears welling up as the blood streaming from my eyes had already stained half of my face red...
The Paper Man continued his endless bowing...
I wiped away Ke'er's tears and said, "Ke'er, this is my final secret; it is as terrifying as this..."
