Doomsday Mage Summons the Undead.

Chapter 272 For the sake of my daughter’s dignity

Late at night, heavy rain poured down, and overwhelming darkness enveloped the dense woods.

This desolate area seems isolated from the rest of the world, with only the noise of wind and rain penetrating the night and echoing in the damp air.

In this darkness, the black warrior carrying the bottle of soul galloped, quickly looking for the place where the next dead soul would appear.

Suddenly, Darth Vader's body stopped in the rainstorm.

Qi Lin's soul descended on the Black Warrior. As the Black Warrior's dead white eyes moved slightly, Qi Lin, who controlled the Black Warrior's body, lowered his head and looked at the bottle of soul in his hand.

The bottle seems to be emitting a faint dark light.

He raised the bottle to his face and stared into the darkness within.

In the darkness, there are stored souls of the dead.

It is different from ordinary dead souls. Under natural circumstances, as time goes by, the dead souls will gradually turn into nothingness and disappear.

But once the dead soul is contained in the soul bottle, the passage of time will be greatly slowed down.

And to a certain extent, some memories of his lifetime are retained.

However, as time goes by, the soul's mind will gradually become muddled, until it becomes a part of the darkness in the bottle, waiting for the owner of the bottle to absorb spiritual power.

Qi Lin slowly poured his mental power into the soul bottle for the first time. Because the soul bottle had been consumed by him before, there were not many souls in the bottle at the moment, so Qi Lin found Cheng Xiao's soul easily.

When Qi Lin was about to call out Cheng Xiao's dead soul for questioning, he suddenly discovered that such questioning would not only consume mental power, but also consume other dead souls stored in the bottle.

Qi Lin didn't think much about it. Compared with the consumption of mental power and souls, he wanted to know why Cheng Xiao appeared here.

With the injection of spiritual power, the bottle of soul began to emit a powerful black mist. The black mist lingered around the bottle, gradually forming a twisted vortex.The black mist spreads outward, like a pair of invisible hands pulling dark energy, shrouding the surrounding trees and grass.

In the vortex, a ghostly figure began to emerge from the black mist.

This is the dead soul of Cheng Xiao chosen by Qi Lin. His body is pale and transparent, as if it is condensed from endless darkness.

The eyes of the dead soul are empty and lifeless, as if they are lost in eternal darkness.

But through the facial outline that was not yet blurred, Qi Lin recognized that this was the taciturn but very principled middle-aged mercenary.

Cheng Xiao.

Even though he was not living a good life, he could still take out all his belongings when facing that robber.
While waiting for the dead soul to absorb spiritual power and restore some mental memory, Qi Lin looked at Cheng Xiao's dead soul, and bits and pieces of Cheng Xiao flashed through his mind.

But those memories were soon interrupted by the anger that arose from the discovery of the silver needle.

The souls of the dead were gradually freed from the black mist, and their bodies gradually solidified.

The dark robe fluttered slowly, as if there was an invisible force controlling its existence.

The eyes of the dead soul flashed with blurred fluorescence, seemingly hiding endless memories.

"We must pay off Lao Tian's debt. We must send the news about the inn to you."

"We must pay off Lao Tian's debt. We must send the news about the inn to you."

Cheng Xiao's dead soul kept repeating these words in a hazy state, like the last wish of someone who would never rest in peace.

Its dead body is as transparent as a shadow, yet it has a sense of existence that transcends reality.

The black mist surrounding the dead souls spread wantonly in the dark night, shrouding the dense woods.

The biting wind blew the leaves, and the rain beat the earth mercilessly.And in the dark energy emitted by this bottle of soul, the blurred eyes of the dead soul gradually became clear.

"Aren't you in the mercenary union?"

"Why are you here?"

"Why was your daughter arrested?"

"How much do you know about the silver needle?"

"Why pay off Lao Tian's debt? Rescue his daughter? What's the news at the inn?"

Qi Lin looked at the soul of Cheng Xiao who was looking at him. He knew in his heart that the other party had temporarily recovered his mind, but this recovery was only temporary and his soul would soon be gone. Therefore, he asked quickly.

The deceased soul Cheng Xiao looked at Qi Lin with very anthropomorphic doubts and kept silent. Although it wanted to ask why its daughter was captured, it always looked at the black warrior who was descended by Qi Lin's soul without saying a word.

And the latter obviously understood this.

"Rui Rui, I rescued you. You treated me to skewers and we settled the bill. Later, you took me to the mobile auction house to look for clues about the inn. Then we went to Laotian for dinner. By the way, we met before going to Laotian. When Wang Dali robbed him, you gave him a silver coin and he didn’t want it. He only took a few copper coins from you. Later, he met Kane at Lao Tian’s place. Lao Tian didn’t want to make the matter bigger, so he let us.”

Qi Lin quickly talked about his experience with Cheng Xiao, hoping to prove his identity.

The dead soul Cheng Xiao's body was filled with black energy, and he said with a hint of excitement: "Is it your lord?"

Only father and daughter Cheng Xiao and Qi Lin knew these things. At this moment, the dead soul Cheng Xiao already knew that the burly man holding the silver sword in front of him was Qi Lin.

Although it is not clear why Qi Lin changed his appearance, he was clearly dead, but he was able to 'come back to life', and he knew so many things about himself. In Cheng Xiao's understanding, he was able and willing to do this for him. Insignificant little people who do this
Only Qi Lin is left!
"Just call me Dongzhi." Qi Lin nodded.

After learning the identity of the person in front of him, the deceased Cheng Xiao no longer kept silent, but said quickly and happily: "Sir!"

"I found the station news you wanted!"

"I met an apostle earlier, and I bought a hyacinth from her that can take you to the inn!"

When the dead soul Cheng Xiao said this, he lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I was supposed to deliver it to you, but I have other things to do, so I asked Alice to deliver it to you."

The dead soul Cheng Xiao quickly informed Qi Lin of all the information about the inn.

He also reminded Qi Lin that he could check again before using hyacinth to prevent problems.

The words were all for Qi Lin.

I didn't ask my daughter why she was arrested.

There was no such thing as asking Qi Lin to avenge him.

He just briefly explained that the news about the inn was in Hyacinthus, and then stopped talking and waited quietly for Qi Lin to ask questions.

This behavior of the deceased soul Cheng Xiao made Qi Lin, who was filled with rage, calm down a little.

"What are the characteristics of that apostle?" Qi Lin asked.

The deceased soul Cheng Xiao thought for a while and said: "She is wearing clothes with flowers and plants all over her body? There is also a cane. She is an old woman."

Natasha.
When he heard about that iconic piece of clothing, Qi Lin already knew the expected answer.

"Your daughter?" When Qi Lin was about to tell Cheng Xiao that Alice had been arrested but was now safe, information came from the ghost.

Information about why Alice was captured and what happened to those silver needles.

Alice didn't know why she was arrested. She just went to the hotels one by one to ask if Qi Lin lived here, and then she was arrested. When she woke up, she was locked up underground in the factory.

But what’s interesting is that when asked by the ghost, she only said she was looking for someone, but she didn’t say what she was looking for, let alone the hyacinth.

As for the silver needle matter, all the ghost workers in the factory were interrogated.

They got a unified answer: The mayor asked them to do it. Periodically, people, animals, or monsters would be sent underground, and then they would bleed them and store the blood in the blood pool. If they were humans, they would also use The special silver needle slowly bleeds, and the workers don't know why there is a difference between humans and other living things.

Qi Lin put aside the matter of the silver needle for the time being, and looked at the deceased Cheng Xiao, who was beginning to become unstable, knowing that he was about to completely lose his soul.So he quickly asked: "Tell me everything that happened after you joined the mercenary union until now!"

Regarding the apostle's invitation to join the game, Qi Lin needs to know every detail.

The dead soul Cheng Xiao didn't ask why, he just said everything in quick succession.

After hearing all about Cheng Xiao's experiences, Qi Lin just chuckled and said: "It's true that the world is so unkind and treats all things like rotten dogs."

Everything that happened to Cheng Xiao undoubtedly showed that there were apostles who were covering up the situation.

Here in Steam Town, Qi Lin doesn't believe that except for the apostles and some places full of magic traps, who else can cover up the activities of two living people!

"I know." Qi Lin stared at the increasingly unstable soul Cheng Xiao, not knowing how to evaluate this person.

He just said: "I will avenge you."

"Don't worry too much about your daughter, I have already rescued her."

"grown ups."

The deceased soul Cheng Xiao was not happy and joyful, but only had a gradually blurred look of worry on his face.

Qi Lin raised his hand to signal him not to speak, and continued: "The more you talk, the faster the soul will disintegrate. Just listen to me."

"I don't like to owe others."

Qi Lin looked at the dead soul Cheng Xiao with complicated eyes and said: "You are dead. I'm sorry, but people cannot be resurrected. I don't have the ability to resurrect you for the time being. Being able to call out your dead soul is the ultimate of my current abilities. "

Maybe in the future, after Qi Lin summons the lich, he can have the ability to be resurrected by relying on the phylactery or other spells.

But now, the only thing Qi Lin can do is try his best to do something for Cheng Xiao.

"I cannot take your daughter with me all the time, so I will find a place as peaceful as possible for your daughter, and leave her with enough shock and enough wealth to ensure that she has enough food and clothing for the rest of her life."

"I will find the person who killed you, and I will bury all the people involved in your murder."

"That Lao Tian's daughter you have been thinking about, I'm sorry, my people told me that she is dead."

When the ghost was interrogating Yinzhen, he already learned that Lao Tian's daughter died of blood draw not long after being sent underground to the factory.

Moreover, the corpse was chopped into pieces and fed to the demon-like monster.

Qi Lin simply said that he was dead and did not go into details.

Qi Lin looked at the deceased Cheng Xiao, whose expression changed from sadness to surprise, and said with some shame: "I'm sorry, this is all I can do. I hope you don't blame me."

The dead soul Cheng Xiao didn't understand why Qi Lin's tone was full of shame. Obviously what Qi Lin said was something he couldn't even think about.

Even if he knew that as long as he died, his daughter would be worry-free for the rest of her life.

Even if there was no attack, he really wanted to exchange his life for his daughter's happy life for the rest of her life.

For many people at the bottom of this world, what Qi Lin said is really something they never dare to dream about.

This is a great gift!

But why does Qi Lin feel ashamed in his words?

The doubts of the dead soul Cheng Xiao were quickly dismissed after just a moment's thought.

Rather than trying to understand this matter, the deceased Cheng Xiao wanted to say something to Qi Lin before he disappeared. He already felt that his mind was slowly becoming chaotic.

Maybe not long after, he will really turn into nothingness as Qi Lin said.
"Sir, you don't have to avenge me!"

Qi Lin:?
The deceased Cheng Xiao quickly and anxiously said to Qi Lin, who was a little confused for a moment: "The weapons used by the people who attacked me were stainless steel arrows!"

"I used to work as a groom in the Huangsha Military Camp when I was young. Those kind of arrows are something only the Huangsha Military has."

"Even if this kind of strictly controlled weapon is leaked to the outside world, it has been approved by the Huangsha military, so you don't have to do it for me, sir."

Qi Lin immediately understood that the dead soul Cheng Xiao did not want to get himself into trouble.

After all, since that group of people has such a thing, it means that they are powerful and must have something to do with the Huangsha military.

In Cheng Xiao's understanding, if one offends the Huangsha military within the jurisdiction of Huangsha City, there is only one way to die.

He didn't want to implicate Qi Lin.

But Qi Lin just smiled softly: "I know this matter well, you don't have to worry too much."

Qi Lin didn't want to talk too much to the deceased Cheng Xiao, 'No!I must help you get revenge or something like that. '

There are some things that Qi Lin feels like he just needs to know in his heart. He feels that the soul and body of the deceased Cheng Xiao is about to disintegrate.

He quickly asked: "It's almost time. Do you have any last wishes? Feel free to mention them. As long as it's within my ability, I'll try my best to help you make it happen."

"Sir, you really must not get into trouble because of me." Cheng Xiao, the deceased soul, warned again.

Qi Lin looked at this middle-aged mercenary who thought about others until his death, and interrupted directly: "No wonder you are not gregarious, don't you know that only children who cry can be fed? I told you this and I know it well. , tell me your last wish!”

Maybe it was because of the hostility brought by the silver needle, or maybe it was because Cheng Xiao behaved like that good person whose body was still lying in Qi Lin's space ring.

Therefore, Qi Lin's tone was not good, and could even be called a bit angry. This was something Qi Lin rarely did when dealing with others.

This tone also made the deceased Cheng Xiao sigh heavily, and then said: "Okay, Lao Tian's daughter is dead, and now I don't have any last wishes except Alice."

The dead soul Cheng Xiao looked at Qi Lin, thinking about Qi Lin's promise just now, and finally said softly: "Sir, if you did this because of the news about the inn, then you don't have to do this, because this is what I owe you. !”

"So, you don't have to give Alice a big fortune or anything like that."

"If possible, I hope you can send Alice to the City of Huangsha. Within the jurisdiction of Huangsha, except for the capital city, all other places are similar to steam towns."

"After I die, it will be difficult for Alice to survive in Steam Town alone."

"I have nothing more to give you and nothing more I can do for you."

The dead soul Cheng Xiao floats to the muddy ground.

In the pouring rain, the body of the dead began to disintegrate rapidly, kneeling on the muddy ground.

This middle-aged man who once told his daughter before his death that he should keep his dignity.

Even when he was in poverty, he never joined those middle-aged mercenaries who covered their faces to rob and make a fortune.

On this night of heavy rain, on this night of death.

For the sake of her daughter's dignity, she knelt in front of Qi Lin.

The dead soul Cheng Xiao fell to his knees, but his increasingly blurred cheeks were raised to look directly at Qi Lin, who was dodging.

"Sir, all I ask is that you can help Alice find a job in Huangsha that will keep her from starving to death, even as a cook or a dishwasher."

Not finished.

The body of the dead soul Cheng Xiao disintegrated in an instant.

no longer exists.
