Above the gray fog

Due to the particularity of this tribe, it was difficult for Lin Shan to tell their ages.

He could only roughly judge from their loose or tight skin that the creature in front of him should be middle-aged.

A red light filled the square, and when the red light dissipated, the middle-aged female creature and Lin Shan disappeared together.

"Daughter, my daughter..."

The old creature cried heartbreakingly, perhaps because of excessive emotion, or perhaps because of some other physical problems, the old creature's head went black, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Qi Lao's hand, which was about to help, stopped in the air, sighed softly, and a flame flashed across his face, representing his anger at the moment.

"Bury her well, we are sorry for her..."

On the other side, the middle-aged female creature, who didn't know what was going on, stood by the river, looking at the gray fog in front of her with a blank face.

This was her first time to leave the tribe's barrier, and it was also her first time to face the gray fog.

There was some curiosity in her heart, but more of it was fear of what she would encounter next.

"The old man died because of you. Do you still feel that you are righteous?" Qi Zhuo's voice appeared in Lin Shan's mind. He couldn't stand it. Lin Shan pretended to be a good person when he did evil things.

"So?" Lin Shan replied indifferently, "I'm just doing my own thing."

"From the perspective of cause and effect, she was killed by you. You know this... right?"

"What do you want to tell me?" Lin Shan looked at the moth on his shoulder.

"You haven't really recognized the gap in life levels. What are you working so hard to survive in the gray fog? Isn't it to break through... to become a higher level life?"

"The correct answer to the question I asked you just now should be "What does his death have to do with you?" instead of explaining."

"There are some problems with your thinking. You shouldn't think for them, because your one mistake destroyed them. What you should think about is why you failed, not... why they were destroyed."

"If you keep doing this, you will be very tired in the future. You will disguise yourself as a 'human', and in the end you will lose yourself."

Lin Shan listened to Qi Zhuo's theory quietly, looking at him meaningfully, "Do you feel that you are still a 'human' now?"

"No, when I advanced to Sequence 9, I had already embarked on the road to becoming a god."

"Then why don't you give up all your humanity? Go experience the emotions that only gods have."

"Humanity is an auxiliary tool on the road to becoming a god. One day, when I reach a certain height, I will give up all my humanity."

Lin Shan shook his head and didn't quite agree with his theory.

Qi Zhuo also sneered at Lin Shan's behavior.

"What's your name?" Lin Shan looked at the female creature in front of him and asked.

"My name is Jingxiang." Jingxiang's psychological quality is very strong. In Lin Shan's opinion, she may be stronger than the previous Lu Lao.

Maybe, this is the ignorance of fearlessness.

Thinking of this in his heart, Lin Shan couldn't help laughing. Wouldn't he really become a monster in this way?

"Well, Jingxiang, come with me. I won't do anything to you. I will let you meet the person you want to see." Lin Shan said, and then walked towards the blood river.

Jingxiang's eyes flashed with a strange color, and she slowly followed behind Lin Shan. From her current feeling, Lin Shan is a very peaceful person.

It's completely different from the man-eating monster described by Lu Lao and Qi Lao for her before.

Although his appearance is a bit weird...

Due to the limitation of visual range, she can only see the hazy gray fog, and can't see the wide blood river more than ten meters ahead.

It was not until she stood on the edge of the blood river that she woke up to some bad memories.

Sadness, fear, anger, all kinds of expressions flashed across her face.

Although she had never been out of the gray fog, nor had she seen the blood river.

But she knew that it was this strange blood river that swallowed up her former love.

In the end, fear took over. She slowly retreated, and after a few steps, the blood river disappeared from her sight.

"Don't be afraid, go forward, don't you want to see him again?" Lin Shan's gentle voice appeared in her mind. This voice was very gentle, which could calm her emotions instantly, and it was very tempting. There was an invisible magic that urged her to nod and agree.

This is the characteristic of the Red Moon spectrum, which has a weak effect of controlling the mind.

The Hell spectrum is close to the soul, and the Red Moon spectrum has a special effect on the spirit. Each spectrum under the dominance has its mainstream effect.

Using Lin Shan's sequence 7 mental power to interfere with her, she could no longer tell at this time whether what she was doing now was what she wanted to do or was guided by Lin Shan.

"Just wait by the side, and I'll let you see the person you want to see in a while." Lin Shan said.

"Okay..." Jingxiang replied in a daze. At this moment, her face looked like a TV with signal interference, with many unstable ripples.

Lin Shan began to draw on the ground according to the ritual pattern given on the parchment.

One by one, green spiritual silk threads were intertwined and interwoven to form various shapes.

Circles, squares, triangles, five-pointed stars, diamonds, and some irregular shapes and special symbols.

Lin Shan began to draw from the inside to the outside in circles.

As he continued to fill in the pattern, Lin Shan felt an invisible pressure pressing on him.

There was no spirituality injected, but the whole ritual pattern became brighter and brighter.

When the whole pattern was drawn, it was a square.

"You stand in the middle circle." Lin Shan directed Jingxiang.

"Okay." Jingxiang responded dully and slowly stepped into the ritual.

"Next, I will say one sentence and you will say one sentence."

"Okay."

"The Yellow Spring Road, the Forgotten River, the soul howls and screams in pain."

"... The Yellow Spring Road, the Forgotten River, the soul howls and screams in pain."

"I am not afraid of ghosts tearing my soul apart, I just want to keep you in my heart."

"Blood scattered, flesh gone, soul floating, only a little bit of thoughts for you."

......

As Jingxiang chanted in the ritual, the green light under his feet became stronger and stronger, but he could not break through the limit.

Because Lin Shan had not yet sacrificed his spirituality.

This was a resurrection ritual for the Forgotten River.

The premise was that the target soul was trapped in the Forgotten River, not returning to the source sea.

The Forgotten River is related to the Lord of Hell and is an important carrier of the Hell system. However, after the death of most of the creatures, their souls will definitely return to the Sea of ​​Source rather than the Forgotten River. No one knows where the Forgotten River is and whether there is only one.

Moreover, it is not a good thing for the soul to enter the Forgotten River, but a punishment.

According to the hint of the parchment, the blood river in front of us is a tributary of the Forgotten River, so this ritual can be used to awaken the souls sleeping in the river.
