Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Darkness descended upon the mountains, and a thin mist clung to the vermilion threshold of the Shirare Bell Shrine.

The girl with the flower snake had just returned from the foot of the mountain when, the moment she looked up, she ran straight into the figure standing at the entrance of the shrine, and into the other person's cold eyes.

Their eyes met, and the two stood silently facing each other.

The wind around them suddenly stopped, the air became eerily stagnant and oppressive, and even the chirping of insects vanished without a trace.

After a long silence, Su Lingbai's cold voice broke through the stillness, carrying undisguised scrutiny: "Why did you take so long?"

Xiao Caihua's eyes darted around, and she subconsciously turned her head away, stammering, "I... I did as you instructed, throwing the pot and meat far away, which is why it took a while."

"Yeah?"

Su Lingbai's lips curled into a cold smile: "I think you ate the whole pot of braised pork yourself, which is why it took so long."

"You're talking nonsense!" Little Caihua immediately looked up and retorted, her tone stubborn.

Su Lingbai's gaze locked onto the corner of her lips, her words clear and distinct: "Then how do you explain the bits of meat stuck to the corner of your mouth?"

"Huh? Really?"

Xiao Caihua was startled and hurriedly raised her hand to touch the corner of her mouth, and sure enough, her fingertips touched a bit of meat.

Her eyes darted around, and she simply picked up the remaining shredded meat, stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it quickly, and confidently raised her chin: "It's gone now!"

"But your swollen belly can't lie."

A cold voice rang in my ears instantly, carrying an undeniable pressure.

Before Xiaocaihua could react, a tearing pain suddenly exploded!

A slender, cold hand cut open her abdomen.

Warm, fresh blood mixed with dark red organs gushed out instantly, and viscous intestines slid down, staining the ground crimson—a shocking sight.

"What are you doing!"

The intense pain caused Xiao Caihua to convulse all over, and she cried out in agony.

Su Lingbai ignored this, his expression indifferent, as he reached into her ruptured abdominal cavity and began to grope through the flesh and blood.

A moment later, she tightened her grip on a heavy object and pulled hard!

puff-

The sound of warm flesh and blood was extremely jarring.

"That's my stomach!"

Excruciating pain swept through her entire body. Little Caihua was completely exhausted and collapsed, curled up in a pool of blood, her whole body trembling violently.

"What I want is your stomach."

Su Lingbai remained expressionless, casually placing the nearly 100-pound stomach on the ground and lightly tracing a line with her fingertip.

The stomach was instantly ripped open.

Everything that had been stockpiled inside spilled out: chewed meat scraps, bits of bone, and all the food that the little cauliflower had been eating in recent days.

The murky stomach acid, mixed with food residue, emitted a nauseating odor that made one feel disgusted just by looking at it.

Su Lingbai looked down at the mess on the floor and said in a cold voice, "I told you to throw it away, and this is how you threw it away?"

"Throw it into your own stomach?"

Little Caihua dared not meet her cold gaze, curled up in the pool of blood, and whispered her explanation: "The trash cans down the mountain were all full, I had no choice but to resort to this..."

She paused, then tried to justify herself, saying confidently, "You know I'm a good snake. I hate littering and I hate wasting food!"

Su Lingbai remained silent for a moment, her eyes growing even colder, before she coldly questioned, "When you were making that pot of raw marinated and braised meat, did you know that the corpse was Chu Ge?"

"I know," Little Cauliflower replied casually.

"Know?"

Su Ling's eyelids twitched violently, and she said, enunciating each word clearly, "Knowing that, you still made her into braised pork and ate it?"

"I wasn't familiar with her to begin with."

Little Cauliflower pouted, a hint of grievance welling up in her eyes, carrying the unique stubbornness and indifference of a demon: "She's your friend, not mine."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her voice, lay in the cold pool of blood, letting the blood flow freely, and instead looked up to question him in return:

"Besides! She ate my flesh before, so it's only natural for me to eat it back now!"

"Su Lingbai, you always say that life and death are predestined, that cause and effect are cyclical, and that everything in the world is predetermined!"

"If she can devour my flesh and blood, why can't I eat her shell?"

"Just because I'm a monster, am I born inferior?"

"Just because I can heal myself and am unable to kill you, does that mean I deserve to be someone's prey?!"

"Her fate, to be eaten by me, is her just desserts!"

"If she hadn't died in the sea and couldn't heal herself, I would never have had the chance to eat her. Didn't she deserve it?"

"Besides, I was never the one who killed her!"

A barrage of hysterical questions erupted, filled with resentment and bitterness.

Faced with her impassioned accusations, Su Lingbai remained calm, simply uttering:

"Whether she deserved to die, I don't know. But you deserved to be covered in wounds every time."

"Last time you attacked her without cause, she was kind and compassionate, and even spoke up for you afterwards. I'll let her have a taste of your flesh and blood, why are you still holding a grudge?"

She suppressed her fierce aura and softened her tone: "Stop lying on the ground making a scene. Take me to the place where you retrieved Chu Ge's mangled body."

"I'm not going!"

Little Cauliflower snorted heavily, her grievances and anger still lingering, clearly still holding a grudge.

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Su Lingbai, who was always proud and aloof and never bowed her head, softened her stance for once.

She spoke solemnly and sincerely, saying, "Little Caihua, I'm sorry."

"Chu Ge has only been dead for a short time, so her soul may not have completely dissipated yet. If we go to the place where she fell, we might still be able to find a remnant of her soul and try to save her."

The sudden apology silenced the arrogant and sullen Xiao Caihua instantly.

A deathly silence stretched for several breaths before she reluctantly snorted and said haughtily, "Fine, fine! This magnanimous evil god forgives you! I'll take you there."

"……Thanks."

The next instant, space violently distorted and trembled.

……

A pitch-black rift appeared out of thin air, and two figures stepped out one after the other, landing on a deep, silent, endless black sea.

Dark clouds loomed over the sea, plunging everything into darkness, with only the howling sea wind bringing a biting chill.

Su Lingbai looked down at the churning, dark sea below, then turned to look at Xiao Caihua beside her: "Are you sure this is the place?"

"That's right."

Little Cauliflower nodded emphatically, gazing at the dark sea with absolute certainty: "I found her remains right here. At that time, her body had been shattered into countless pieces."

"it is good."

Su Lingbai said no more, took out a piece of Chu Ge's finger bone from her pocket, gently held it in her hands, and slowly closed her eyes.

Lips open and close, softly reciting something.

Soon, a strange, pale white power slowly emanated from her body, entered her finger bones, and then spread outwards.

This is a power unique to the priestess.

【Soul Connection】.

[Summoning of All Spirits]

【Dark Curse】.

[Divine Purification].

It was precisely because of the special power of [Summoning of All Spirits] that she was able to summon Little Flower back from other worlds.

However, there was no medium that time; it was a random summoning, and in the end, a [Chaotic Evil] monster was summoned.

Fortunately, Su Lingbai also had the [Dark Curse], which cursed Xiao Caihua with the rule that "one cannot attack creatures weaker than oneself, or one will surely suffer misfortune," thus preventing the other party from acting recklessly.

[Divine Purification] can ensure that she and Little Flower are not corrupted by the laws of the Witch Game and avoid participating in it.

Of course, if the witch intentionally targets her and increases the intensity of her attack, she won't be able to withstand it.

This time, she used Chu Ge's finger bones as a medium to cast [Soul Pull], which allowed her to accurately pull the soul she wanted.

At this moment, Su Lingbai, although still wearing a black gothic dress, inexplicably had a bit of a witch-like aura.

In the beginning, heaven and earth were deathly still and without waves.

But as the chanting continued, the surrounding air began to swirl, and evening breezes from all directions converged.

Tiny white particles of light gathered in the wind, floating like stars above the dark sea surface.

Countless points of light intertwined and merged, gradually coalescing into a light and faint humanoid phantom.

The phantom lay silently on the dark sea, its white hair scattered, its brows and eyes serene and gently closed.

It is the song of Chu that has fallen.

However, at this moment, her eyes, heart, and right hand are all intact, and her body is complete and healthy.

"Thank goodness."

Su Lingbai slowly opened her eyes and sighed softly, "The three souls have not completely dissipated; only one celestial soul remains."

"If we had arrived any later, the Heavenly Soul would have dissipated as well, and then there would have been no way to save it."

"They're not ordinary people either; they don't even have the chance to become evil spirits."

After saying that, she put away her finger bones, walked towards the white-haired girl's soul, and picked her up in her arms.

The white-haired girl lay quietly in her arms, her body light and weightless.

"I'm gone."

Space twisted and folded once more, the auras of the two figures vanished abruptly, and the Black Sea returned to deathly silence.
