Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 327 Cecilia's Placement

The vengeful spirit Steve struggled on the ground, detached from his spirit form, and appeared to be in immense pain. Luzer's magma sword hung above his head, but he paid no heed, only wailing incessantly.

M's figure quietly appeared in front of Lu Ze.

"what happened to him?"

Luze pointed his magma sword at Steve and asked.

"He tried to possess your body, but he was simply unable to bear your inner pain, and his mind was severely impacted."

M said softly, "To put it simply, he's probably gone mad."

crazy?

Lu Ze looked at Steve, who was rolling on the ground and moaning. Although there were no obvious wounds on his body, he looked as if he had suffered terrible injuries and was in extreme pain.

"Is my pain really that intense?"

It was even so intense that it drove a Sequence 5 insane.
M looked at him intently and said:
"some."

"Then why didn't I have such a strong reaction?"

"You've just endured too much, and you've become used to it and somewhat numb."

"."

Luze stopped speaking and looked down at Steve, who was rolling on the ground. Steve's expression was incredibly distorted, his whole body was convulsing, and he couldn't utter a single coherent word, let alone continue to be Luze's enemy.

Is this a true reflection of the pain I feel right now?
He remained silent, gripped the magma sword, and thrust it forward, piercing Steve's head.

"Chichi."

The intense heat instantly scorched Steve's brain. He offered no resistance; instead, he smiled genuinely as he felt his life force slipping away.

Death ended his suffering.

But it was only for a moment.

Luzer won't let the lambs of Sequence 5 get away.

But now wasn't the time to graze the animals. The previous battle had caused quite a commotion, and it was only a matter of time before it attracted attention; he didn't have much time left. After interfering with the divination with the blood mist, he quickly carried the corpse back to the villa.

Lu Ze saw Jason's head drooping in front of his chest as he stepped out through the gap in the wall.

Jason's eyes reflected Sharon's image.

"You take Steve and leave first. I'll go find Count Andes and get some answers."

Luze threw the body to Sharon and quickly gave his instructions.

The other party nodded, took the body, and rushed out of the villa, with what seemed to be terrified screams echoing along the way.

Luze found Count Andes in his luxurious bedroom. He was furious because his house had been attacked, but he did not expect that the intruder would come directly to see him.

"Did you arrange for the attack on that textile factory in the East District?"

"Yes."

"Backlund has many textile factories, why did you specifically target that small one?"

"Because they don't follow the rules! They actually give the workers such good treatment. All the peasants in my factory started a riot because of this. If I don't make trouble for them, who else can I turn to?"

The Count of Andes was indignant, and under hypnosis, he spoke the absolute truth.

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Ze roughly understood what the other party meant, gave a cold laugh, and ended his life.

Security in Queens was extremely tight, and the extraordinary individuals were already on their way. Instead of searching for the Earl's property, he left immediately.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Luzer met with Sharon, handed over the body, and chatted briefly, exchanging contact information. Sharon then hurriedly left to meet her companion. Luzer examined the "zombie" characteristics she had left behind and the corpse of the "vengeful spirit" Steve, preparing to begin herding.

However, my slots are already full, so which one should I take out to replace it?
Besides Cecilia, who was being protected, he also had six lambs grazing inside him:
The "arsonist" was inherent in Ms. M's extraordinary item;
The "Faceless Man" he killed when he first arrived in Backlund and tried to steal the manuscript;
Katie, the "Interrogator," was killed at the Cappin residence;
The serial killer is a giant, "devilish" dog;
Mr. A, the "Shepherd" of the Aurora Society; and Belial, the "Apostle of Desire" who was killed some time ago and attempted to assassinate Duke Negan.

"Um"

Upon closer examination, the priority for replacement should be lambs with lower sequence numbers and those with overlapping abilities. The Inquisitor and the Arsonist are both Sequence 7, while the Demon and the Apostle of Desire belong to the same sequence.

The problem is that arsonists can combine with the flame leaps of faceless men, while demons and apostles of desire, although belonging to the same sequence, have completely different abilities.

If we consider it this way, the "interrogator" should be the first to be replaced.

While the latter's attack on the mental level is rare, its sequence is indeed somewhat low. Moreover, the "spiritual shock" of the "Apostle of Desire" and one's own "filthy words" can produce similar effects, not to mention the "vengeful spirits" that are about to be released, which are themselves spiritual entities.

What are you thinking about?

Just then, he heard M's voice. The other person was standing in the courtyard, looking somewhat puzzled.

"The shepherd's pen is full, and I'm considering which one to replace."

Lu Ze replied.

"Why not leave Cecilia's seat vacant?"

"What did you say?"

Lu Ze suddenly looked up and stared directly at the other person.

"Don't misunderstand, I mean, take Cecilia's soul out and place it in a safer place."

Despite Lu Ze's cold gaze, M maintained her smile.

"A safer place, you mean?"

"That sea."

M said calmly, "That's a space independent of reality, under your control, so it's definitely safer than your body."

"Are you being stupid? The real Creator is on the other side of the sea."

Lu Ze felt that what she said made some sense, but he quickly found a problem and immediately retorted.

"You know that the tides can block out the other party's delirium. Besides, Cecilia is inside your body, aren't you also suffering from the delirium of the true creator?"

"."

Her question left Lu Ze speechless.

“Moreover, if you encounter fierce battles, not only will your body be damaged, but your soul may also be harmed,” M continued. “Sending Cecilia away will reduce many concerns, and you will have an empty slot.”

“Furthermore, there’s something even more important. As you know, no matter how well you protect her, Cecilia’s soul is gradually dissipating within you.” She looked directly at Luze and said calmly, “If this continues, she might lose her chance to be resurrected before you even become a true god.”

"Crack!"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ze's hand shot out like lightning and grabbed her neck, forcing her to stop.

"Shut up."

"Feel sorry."

M's smile faded. "That sea can nourish the soul. There, Cecilia can find a better place to settle down than she does now."

"."

Lu Ze remained silent for a moment.

M is his other personality, who also harbors feelings for his sister. Her words actually struck a nerve with him; he had recently discovered that Cecilia's soul was showing subtle signs of damage, but he had been unwilling to admit it before.

But is it really a good idea to put my sister's soul into that sea whose true nature is still unclear?
"I'll consider it later."

That was all he could say, before setting the issue aside for the moment and focusing his attention on the corpse on the ground.
