Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

This frank and straightforward conversation between the two reached the ears of the ghost general standing nearby.

Like a sharp blade, it pierced through the Ghost General's unwavering commitment that had lasted for over a hundred years.

Already agitated, the more it listened, the more its anger flared up to an overwhelming rage.

The malevolent aura emanating from his body suddenly surged, even the lightning chains binding him...

They were all stretched to the point of strain, making a constant crackling and popping sound.

Its menacing, exposed fangs bared repeatedly at Ling Feng.

"Shut up! What kind of bullshit obsession is this? This is our agreement!"

On what grounds do you dismiss my centuries-long wait with a mere, dismissive "obsession"?

"Did I not deny your waiting?"

Ling Feng looked calmly at the somewhat crazed ghost general, his voice cold and clear:

"I just want to ask you, after all these years of perseverance, have you finally found the one you love?"

"Don't tell me it's her!"

"Isn't that right?" the ghost general roared angrily, his emotions still incredibly agitated.

Ling Feng smiled disdainfully, pointed at Zhou Mei beside him, and said to the ghost general in the same stern voice:

"Open your eyes wide and look carefully. Is she really the one you're waiting for?"

Her name is Zhou Mei. She doesn't remember you, doesn't know you, and doesn't owe you anything.

Are you sure the person you've been patiently waiting for is really her now?

Is she the woman who, a hundred years ago, made a vow of lifelong commitment to you under the blossoming trees, a vow that would last until death?

A sentence as sharp as thunder struck the ghost general's chaotic mind.

The mangled ghostly body, which had been struggling violently, suddenly froze in place.

Even the raging, violent aura surrounding him was completely frozen on the surface of his body.

The ghost general's empty eye sockets held a crimson glow fixed on the girl not far away.

He scrutinized the woman named Zhou Mei carefully, again and again.

The contours of her eyebrows and eyes might be identical to those of her lover from a hundred years ago, but the way she looked at it...

The tender affection of yesteryear is completely gone, along with the barely concealed tenderness and longing.

There was only a complete sense of alienation and fear, and a tiny bit of pity born of sympathy.

This... is completely different from the person it remembers! The form is similar, but the spirit is entirely different!

The lingering, malevolent aura emanating from the ghost general began to dissipate slightly at this moment.

The crimson flames flickering in the empty eye sockets seemed to reflect a state of utter bewilderment and helplessness.

An unprecedented sense of panic, fear, and helplessness swept over its broken soul.

In its narrow and biased understanding, what is the difference between so-called reincarnation and amnesia?

It firmly believed that as long as he could wait patiently, and wait deeply enough,

One day, I will be able to wait for my former lover to return and rekindle our past romance.

Clinging to this sliver of delusional obsession, it endured year after year.

He has been trapped in the past, unable to find a way out.

But in the end, it discovered that what it had been holding onto was nothing more than an old dream that had long since ended.

And its beloved, whom it once cherished deeply and longed for day and night...

It has long since come to a complete end, having weathered the storms of a century ago.

In the cycle of reincarnation, she was no longer the woman who would stay by his side.

For the first time in over a century, the belief that had sustained it was faltering and on the verge of collapse.

"No...no way...how could this be..."

Soft, hoarse murmurs escaped from between the menacing, exposed fangs, carrying an undisguised fear.

The tattered ghostly body trembled uncontrollably, and even the lightning chains shook along with it.

"They're... exactly the same... their souls share the same origin, how could it... not be her..."

Ling Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes, shimmering with lightning, showing not a trace of pity.

His tone remained indifferent yet deeply hurtful: "The agreement was made between her and you back then."

But after hundreds of years of reincarnation, the woman who made the vow with you back then has long since vanished into the next life.

After the karmic consequences of past lives are shed, all that remains in the world is a story from the past.

Ling Feng sighed, his voice less cold and more comforting:

"Zhou Mei today is a completely new person."

She has her own life, her own joys and sorrows.

Debts and karmic ties from past lives have long been severed and obliterated through reincarnation.

Why should she bear the burden of a century-old obsession and shackles for a past that doesn't belong to her?

"The promise belonged to the two of them back then, and now only you are still clinging to it!"

Ling Feng walked over slowly and pointed to the malevolent aura swirling around the ghost general:

"Look at yourself, you're full of resentment and malevolence, all born from your obsession."

The girl you've been longing for has already embarked on a new chapter in her life.

Only you yourself are trapped in the same place, still stuck in the old times of a hundred years ago, unwilling to let go and leave.

You think you're deeply in love? In reality, you're just consumed by obsession and stubbornly clinging to your delusions!

Ling Feng paused slightly, gazing at the utterly defeated ghost general before him, his tone tinged with regret:

"If you could have let go of this insistence sooner, a hundred years would have been over long ago."

If fate allows, why not meet them again in the midst of the bustling world?

But you chose the most foolish path, turning your longing into resentment and your waiting into a monstrous threat.

The ghost general fell completely silent. After waiting for over a hundred years, it had all come to nothing.

What it's holding onto is nothing more than a one-man show where it's deceiving itself.

It had countless ways to escape, but it blocked all its chances of survival with its own hands.

Zhou Mei, who had been following Ling Feng closely, looked at the ghost general's dejected and dazed appearance.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings: fear, sympathy, and sighs.

But in the end, he was also a pitiful person, because of a promise he made.

They willingly remained trapped in this desolate mountain wilderness for over a hundred years, enduring endless loneliness and pain.

For a moment, she really didn't know what to say.

This deep affection, spanning a century, is simply too heavy a burden.

It was so heavy that she couldn't bear it and had no way to respond to this affection.

……

Under the chains of lightning, the ghost general's violently trembling body gradually calmed down, and he no longer struggled or resisted.

That pent-up resentment, bitterness, unwillingness, and anger accumulated over a century

As Ling Feng dismantled it, the water receded from it like the receding tide, quickly disappearing into thin air.

The crimson light in their empty eye sockets had completely dimmed.

There was no longer any ferocity or savagery, only utter desolation and sorrow.

It stopped struggling and roaring, and its menacing fangs slowly closed.

A century of madness, a dream shattered in a single day!

"So... I was wrong..."
