"......"
Lingyi first looked for someone familiar in the crowd.
For example, a little fat boy - found it.
Lingyi released the restraints on the other party, and the first thing Hirano Toda did after gaining his freedom was to gasp for breath.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be imprisoned, especially when you know that danger and the unknown are approaching.
But now, Hirano Toda is no longer afraid.
Now that Lingyi is here, there is nothing to be afraid of!
"Lord Lingyi! You, you are finally back!"
Compared to a month ago, Hirano Toda, who looked a little thinner and haggard, was almost crying with joy.
This is how he feels, and even more so how others feel.
Hirano Toda knew at that time what Lingyi's protection meant to them, and he also knew how cruel and desperate this end of the world was.
Others may not know this, and they may even sympathize with the zombies.
After a month of beatings, they almost regarded Lingyi as a savior, but he was the savior they missed.
"Hirano, where is your lover?"
Lingyi was very happy to see that Hirano Toda was still alive and there was no black energy coming out of his body, but she did not see the girl next to Hirano Toda.
“Aiko…Aiko, she was by my side before—!”
Hirano Toda immediately came back to his senses from the great surprise of seeing Lingyi again. He looked around hurriedly, but did not see his lover, which made him even more panicked.
However, Lingyi's brows were smoothed out.
It's enough to be alive. The reason why the other party disappeared is because he was dispersed by the teleportation.
"Now, you can move your hands. Who is Hirano Toda's lover? Raise your hands."
Perhaps out of fear of Lingyi, or perhaps because they had been taught a lesson by the end of the world, the others did not act capriciously or panic-stricken at this time. Only one person raised his hand.
Rei freed that person from his confinement, allowing Hirano Toda to reunite with him.
Afterwards, Lingyi lifted the ban on everyone.
"Now, I ask, you answer. Don't talk about anything irrelevant to the question, or I'll feed you to the zombies."
As he spoke, Ling Yi swung his sword and slashed out a huge sword energy that tore through the earth and was dozens of meters long.
"......"
The crowd, which had just started to make noise, soon began to boo.
"You seem to be very afraid of these crows. What's the reason?"
"..."
"They are the gods of death... They will bring death..."
The crowd began to make trembling sounds.
People are always accustomed to deifying the unknown and fear.
Lingyi also listened to some ambiguous nonsense before learning that [crows follow the pile of corpses, and people will hear the sound of crows when the pile of corpses approaches].
The sound of the crows was like a death knell to the people of Bedlord City, and that was not even a metaphor or exaggeration.
Ling Yi slammed the Flash Blade into the ground, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Besides that, what else have they done? Have they ever attacked humans?"
"this....."
Someone immediately wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly as soon as he opened his mouth.
There is no doubt that people are afraid of crows, but when asked whether crows have ever attacked humans, people go from being fearful and secretive at the beginning to being confused.
They looked at each other, and were surprised to find that no one said anything.
"It seems... the crows haven't attacked people. At least I haven't even seen them attacking people..."
Hirano Toda spoke first hesitantly.
Then came her lover.
"I haven't seen them either... Every time I see them, they're always surrounding a pile of corpses, or they're parked on the side of the road looking at something, or they're eating corpses..."
Others also talked about their own views of the crows.
Without exception, flocks of crows have never attacked people, and people have even seen scenes of mountains of corpses attacking crows.
However, only two people have seen it. Although it can be explained that it is difficult for the mountain of corpses to prey on flying crows, so this kind of thing happens rarely, the reliability is still not very high.
Lingyi looked at the crows and vultures that were perched nearby.
They were like ordinary flying birds, stopping there to look around and jumping around.
When they saw Lingyi looking over, they tilted their heads.
It actually never attacked humans...
Even if the survivors said so, it cannot be guaranteed that the crows will not harm people.
For example--
The behavior of the crows can be interpreted as them alerting people around them that danger is approaching, and they are then classically seen as bringing bad luck.
But it can also be explained that the crows are actually helping the mountain of corpses to find prey, and then they do not hunt themselves.
Lingyi tends to believe the former. After all, there is not even any black mist on them, which means that they are not accomplices.
But why is this so?
It will eat human corpses, but even after mutating it will not attack humans, and it even seems to help humans.
100. Let the wailing souls become the cornerstone of the new world!
It is impossible that humans and nature are really so harmonious, and that crows really do not harm humans spontaneously and want to protect humans.
Lingyi quickly thought of another possibility.
While she was chopping zombies, she would also protect humans - although such behavior was rare, because most of the time she would chop all the zombies and humans would naturally be safe. She didn't need to pay too much attention to them at the time, and she didn't have the time.
Perhaps these crows were really smart enough to realize from her occasional words and actions that she was protecting humans.
What? I’m still very protective. Even these little crows can see it.
Lingyi no longer had anything to ask, so all that was left was to clean up the pests—
She snapped her fingers, and a huge magic circle unfolded again under the feet of the survivors.
Then the entire group of survivors were teleported to both sides, directly divided into two distinct groups on the left and right.
There were about 4,000 people on one side and about 500 people on the other.
Everyone was puzzled by Lingyi's actions, but they were horrified to find that they were silenced again and even their bodies were restrained.
Then Ling Yi suddenly blinked thoughtfully, and the transmission light lit up again - the two people were separated and isolated.
When she was teleporting just now, she clearly felt that the energy response of these two people was much higher than that of other ordinary people. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be reincarnations from the main god space.
Don't worry about them for now. These two seem quite weak and can't break free from Patchouli's restraining magic.
A flock of black crows circled in the sky, like a living canopy.
Lingyi stood high on the ruins, her golden hair dancing in the bloody wind, her emerald green eyes as cold as a knife.
She looked down at the two groups of people below, separated by a magic circle - on one side were the shivering innocents, and on the other were more than four thousand things that were judged to be pests.
Her voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable determination, clearly penetrating the crowd:
“I will give this world a brand new look, freeing it from viruses, zombies, and vicious neighbors. Innocent people will be able to return to the peace and normal life they long for.”
"Pure sunlight will once again bathe the earth, the fresh air will no longer be tainted with stench, the laughter of children will resound in schools, and the bustling hustle and bustle of the marketplace will return—"
Her gaze shifted to those pests, her tone suddenly icy, "And all of this has nothing to do with you. The only people who can be redeemed in Hell are those humans who still hold fast to their principles. As for you, those beasts and pests who have lost their conscience and take pleasure in the suffering of others, Hell is your final destination. You're not going anywhere!"
"It's time to pay the price for what you've done these days. This is the path you chose, so swallow the bitter fruit yourself."
Ling Yi slowly raised the Flash Blade, the tip of the blade pointed directly at the pests, a cold light flashing - "Go, peck away their filthy flesh, and let their wailing souls become the cornerstone of the new world!"
In an instant, a flock of crows covering the sky and the sun swooped down like a black storm, their sharp beaks and claws tearing through the air as they pounced on the pests.
The moment the silence magic was lifted, shrill screams and desperate pleas for mercy suddenly broke out, and bright red blood flowers bloomed among the black feathers, like a feast from hell.
Lingyi deliberately separated the two groups so that they could look at each other.
The innocent people's eyes were filled with fear and shock as they stared at the tragic scene of the sinners being torn apart.
The sinners struggled in agony, their gazes looking through the crows at the innocents who were safe and sound, hoping that their souls would remember what to do and what not to do, if they still had souls afterward.
"Don't let them die easily. The flames of hell crave their souls."
The crows seemed to understand the instructions, and their attacks became more precise and brutal.
They are no longer deadly, but instead peck away at the flesh of sinners, tearing through skin and tendons while deliberately leaving a glimmer of life.
The screams came one after another, gradually becoming weaker from high-pitched, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood and despair.
When the last wailing began to almost dissipate, Lingyi gently raised his hand, and a ball of red fire ignited in the palm of his hand, and the flame leaped like a living thing.
She threw the flames of hell towards the crows. The flames that fell among the crows instantly devoured the half-dead pests. The flames wrapped around every broken body, drilled into the internal organs through the wounds, and began to burn the soul from the inside out.
But the crows were not harmed at all, as if the flames were just a false illusion.
Until the wails of the soul were completely extinguished in the flames, and only scorch marks and ashes drifting in the wind remained on the ruins.
The crows retreated like a tide, circling above Lingyi's head, forming a black vortex.
His eyes swept over the group of survivors separated by the magic circle—
Some people opened their eyes wide, dug their fingers deep into their palms, and felt an instinctive fear of the bloody purification before them.
Some people's lips trembled and they shook their heads, refusing to believe that justice could come in such a violent form.
Some people even closed their eyes, the extreme bloodiness making compassion struggle to awaken at this moment.
Among the crowd, there were many thin figures kneeling on the ground.
Their cracked lips opened and closed silently, and turbid tears washed away the stains on their faces.
When they saw the perpetrators being engulfed by the flames of karma, the victims trembled all over and smiled with pain and satisfaction - that was the complex expression that people with broken spines would show when they finally saw hope.
The end of the world is like a magic mirror.
When the law collapses and morality declines, too many people choose to tear off the cloak of civilization and allow the torrent of desire to break down the dam of humanity.
Too many people easily unleash the beast within them and run wild in the darkness without any rules.
They succumb to greed and desire, impose pain and torture on innocent people, treat the weak as playthings, and bully, plunder and harm them at will.
They act like hyenas when they rob food, like wild beasts when they commit violence, and like evil spirits when they abuse the weak, yet they have human faces.
——In the burning supermarket, there are figures fighting for canned food, shrill cries coming from the dim basement, thin backs forced to kneel on broken glass... and so on.
They are no longer human beings, because what makes them human is the will to restrain ugly instincts, the lofty belief in lighting up the world with morality and civilization, and the beautiful flowers that bloom above ugliness, those beautiful things, beliefs and emotions, those things that are worth singing about.
In this cruel apocalypse, innocent people who have not committed any faults are persecuted by these inhuman creatures simply because they are weak.
There is nothing they can do.
Too weak to resist, stick to the bottom line, unwilling to degenerate and associate with beasts, etc.
In the ruins of the end of the world, the flame of justice has long been extinguished, and no one can seek justice for them.
The wicked go unpunished, doing evil without punishment, because there seems to be no god in this world who will bring retribution to light.
Until Lingyi came.
101. Let’s talk about my evil and fire.
Her flashing blade cut through the eternal night, and her hellish fire burned the inhuman creatures into distorted silhouettes. The souls that were trampled into the mud finally heard the long-overdue bell of judgment, and the poor people who had suffered so much finally saw the dawn of justice again.
The blond judge stood on the scorched earth, with the purifying fire gradually dying behind him.
