As the words "Soul Scatter" fell, the Evil Being I had grasped began to dissipate, causing the White Dots blooming from my hands to multiply, white flowers flourishing in the night.
Chen San drew closer, his appearance becoming increasingly terrifying.
The blood vessels crisscrossing his face made him look like a monster. The Evil Being transformed into White Dots in the darkness, and my gaze remained fixed on Chen San.
The Evil Being was actually afraid of Chen San to this extent.
Previously, it had been fearless, but now, with nowhere to hide, it finally felt fear.
I could no longer hold onto the Evil Being; when I finally opened my hand, only a mass of White Dots remained. Countless White Dots filled the air, and I stared in awe.
The White Dots glowed.
Was the Evil Being truly dissipating? I felt a twinge of curiosity.
But what surprised me was that Chen San suddenly seemed to become the center of a vortex. He muttered incantations, and the sky full of White Dots began to descend upon him.
“Chen San, after all these years, you’re still like this.”
Chen San remained silent. At that moment, I felt that the blood vessels on his face resembled a gaping black hole, ready to swallow all the White Dots scattered in the sky.
“Chen San, do you have to be so ruthless?”
Chen San did not respond.
The Evil Being seemed to have gone mad, as a white Light Spot suddenly descended upon me without warning, while a golden character for "Pardon" pressed down towards me.
It just happened to block my path, the golden light preventing the White Dots transformed by the Evil Being from advancing any further.
The golden light and the White Dots collided, and I watched as golden sparks and White Dots flew everywhere. It felt like I was watching a movie.
I was a bit dazed, standing still in place. As Yihua Ba.
In my daze, I heard Xiaoru shout, "Saning, get out of the way!"
But at that moment, it seemed I heard Lin Li telling me not to move. I stood my ground, and finally, the golden light was torn apart by the white Light Spot.
In the end, the White Dots fell towards me, heading straight for my eyes.
I instinctively resisted.
Yet I heard the voice of the Evil Being: "Saning, let me in."
I replied, "Why should I?"
The white Light Spot descended upon Chen San, and the Evil Being said, "Chen San is not human. If I perish, it would be fulfilling Chen San."
I retorted, "You deserve to die."
The white Light Spot formed by the Evil Being continuously divided and surged towards Chen San. Finally, the Evil Being said, "I should die. Then let me die by your hand. Don't you hate me? Don't you want to kill me yourself? If that's the case, then let me in."
I stared at the White Dots.
The Evil Being finally made a threatening remark: "Unless you do not hate me, fear me, or dare to kill me."
Once he finished speaking, I no longer hesitated. I opened my eyes and saw the White Dots rapidly falling into my gaze, converging into a river that poured into my eyes.
Xiaoru seemed anxious and called out, "Saning, what are you doing?"
Xiaoru hurried towards me but was blocked by the Clay Bodhisattva. Ke'er also stopped Xiaoru.
Time passed second by second, and the sky full of White Dots finally dissipated. The darkness in my eyes was completely washed away by the White Dots, and my vision seemed to become clearer.
At that moment, I felt a chill in my eyes, penetrating to the bone. When I looked into the distance again, the world in my eyes seemed to change. In a daze, I saw a path lined with bones; on this path stood a stone tablet with two words inscribed on it.
"Underworld."
The Underworld Road was filled with many bones, but apart from the bones, it seemed there was nothing else on the Underworld Road.
I glanced at the road before me and took a step forward. Instantly, the Light Spot beneath my feet blossomed like a lotus flower. However, after only a few steps, Ke'er suddenly grabbed my arm.
I looked at Ke'er in surprise.
Ke'er said, "Husband."
That one word seemed to awaken me. As I stared at Ke'er, when I looked ahead again, that path had already vanished.
Looking at Ke'er, I suddenly remembered that two souls of hers had fallen into my eyes.
I said to Ke'er, "Ke'er, your soul..."
Ke'er replied, "Husband, my soul in your eyes has not perished."
"What do you mean?"
Ke'er explained, "Husband, your eyes are not hell. The entry of souls into your eyes does not signify death, unless you intend to kill them. Otherwise, some souls will not die."
I said, "But these souls can't stay in my eyes forever, right?"
Ke'er responded, "No, they won't. It's just that some souls willingly enter your eyes. Also, what about Lin Li? Is she really dead?"
I asked Ke'er how she knew all this. She said she could sense that the other two souls had not vanished.
Just then, I suddenly heard a painful wail.
I turned to see it was a chubby man.
Jianjian had already rushed towards him, and the chubby man seemed to be struggling.
Worried that he might lose his mind and harm Jianjian, I called out to Wang Wei to hurry after her. Wang Wei quickly took off in pursuit.
As for the Evil Being incident, I never expected it would lead to such a result. I glanced at Chen San and wondered what kind of person he truly was.
To think that I could force the Evil Being to this extent, and then there's Xiaoru. I suddenly hesitated about whether to save Chen San.
At least until now, I still didn't know who Chen San really was.
Xiaoru had already walked over to Chen San's side, and the sound of Zhang the Fatty's wailing was still echoing. I lay down in the coffin, allowing my soul to possess it. Then, I crawled out of the coffin.
It felt like I was truly in a dream.
After the Evil Being perished, the Paper Men instantly seemed to lose their souls, collapsing to the ground.
The torches they held ultimately led to their own demise.
The Paper Men were burned away, but the Clay Bodhisattva managed to retrieve my black-and-white photo. The Clay Bodhisattva approached me, seeking recognition for its efforts. Afterwards, Xiaoru said to me, "Saning, I hope you won't go back on your word."
I knew what she meant. The blood streaks on Chen San's face were fading; earlier, I had devoured the White Dots, and at that moment, he said nothing.
The Evil Being had been vanquished, yet it was strange that the Evil Being did not wish to be killed by Chen San.
What kind of person was Chen San? I looked at him, and he looked back at me; in the end, neither of us spoke.
Xiaoru supported Chen San as he seemed injured, and together they left.
After taking a few steps, Chen San said, "Saning, I have seven days left. Within those seven days, I must go to the East City Ruined Temple." With that said, Chen San didn't wait for my response and walked away.
The Clay Bodhisattva remarked, "Saning Brother, this person carries an evil aura; he's not a good person."
I told Clay Bodhisattva to go check on Wang Wei.
After Clay Bodhisattva left, Ke'er said to me, "He's an undead, not a good person at all; he's just very strange."
I asked what was strange about him.
Ke'er replied, "He's undead, but it seems like he’s going to die soon."
As I listened to her words, I was momentarily taken aback. Chen San wasn't a good person, and Wang Wei didn't believe Chen San was a good person either. Clay Bodhisattva didn't believe it, and neither did Ke'er. Yet I felt a hint of hesitation.
Zhang Fatty walked to the edge of the rooftop, ready to jump.
Jianjian called out Zhang Fatty's name. He covered his eyes with one hand, as if his senses were returning.
At that moment, I also felt somewhat weak. Ke'er and I walked towards Zhang Fatty together.
I called out, "Fatty."
Jianjian urged me, "Saning Brother, please help me talk Zhang Fatty down."
Zhang Fatty stood at the edge of the rooftop, the wind blowing fiercely around him.
"Jianjian, after I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself," Zhang Fatty said with a tone of finality, determination etched on his plump face.
As I got closer, Zhang Fatty noticed my presence and called out to me in a low voice.
Zhang Pangzi said, "Saning, I was wrong. I am a sinner. I’m sorry for you."
"You bastard, son of a dog," I cursed back. Everyone looked at me in shock; while others were contemplating jumping off a building, here I was cursing someone out. Was I even human?
Ke'er called me "Husband," her eyes filled with a hint of pity.
Zhang Pangzi was momentarily stunned by my words, staring at me without daring to respond. However, there was someone else here who seemed just as carefree as I was—Clay Bodhisattva.
Clay Bodhisattva chimed in, "Saning Brother, well said."
I glanced at Clay Bodhisattva in surprise. He looked quite pleased with himself, and I found myself at a loss for words.
Of course, I didn't genuinely want to insult Zhang Pangzi. Well, I did want to insult him, but my intention wasn't to wish him dead.
