Chapter 1221 – The Counterpart of the Soul
Finally, those blood vessels that spanned the sky, symbolizing the cause of death in my previous life, Vascular Disease. The blood plasma that dripped from those self-moving vessels was the characteristic of Vascular Disease.
The more I feared something, the higher it would be. For instance, Beelzebub’s projection was at the highest point, while the things I cared about least were at the lower points, like the scattered manuscript papers.
Therefore, the Vascular Disease that spanned the sky like a spider web covering Cando City should be the thing I feared and worried about the most, besides Beelzebub. It had always been the shadow of death hanging over me, and I couldn’t escape it.
However, I still had a doubt. Why here? MacDuff’s shack. The core location of my Inner Dark Side was chosen here, yet I had almost no attachment to this place. It was neither a place I feared nor a dark history I was unwilling to face.
Just then, I heard that sound, like the crying of a group of infants. The Beast King had arrived. It had just pounced at me, but Amelia had, along with me, transferred it into my soul.
It was clearly unaccustomed to the change of scene and was wandering and howling on the deserted street, with countless flies buzzing around it.
Those flies were not harmful, but they were incredibly annoying. The Beast King was so annoyed that it tried to suck them up with the black holes on its claws, but the flies here were endless, and it couldn’t possibly suck them all up.
The Beast King was not only annoyed but also seemed afraid. Its movements clearly showed a lot of unease.
My Inner Dark Side was far more terrifying than Amelia’s. If the abandoned hospital was only suitable for filming ghost movies, then my Inner Dark Side was like real hell. Just the scene in the sky could scare a normal person to death.
To be honest, even I was surprised by my Inner Dark Side. I had thought that someone as cheerful, happy, and optimistic as me would have a better Inner Dark Side than that unscrupulous doctor Amelia. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be this bad.
“Older Brother Jayad, it’s ready. The Beast King has been transferred into my soul. Now it’s your turn,” I transmitted telepathically.
“No problem, I’m ready,” Older Brother Jayad replied. He took out a platinum card, a reward from our last visit to the Dream World, the Dream Card.
Although there were occasional strange dreams, the Dream Card had generally helped us a lot. Many times when my sanity dropped, I relied on the Dream Card to recover, but consequently, there was not much left.
This time, it wasn’t about restoring my sanity with the Dream Card, but about using one of its characteristics to remotely connect my dream with Older Brother Jayad’s.
We had successfully experimented with this characteristic before, but now that Older Brother Jayad and I were so far apart, whether it would succeed was uncertain. However, theoretically, it should be fine.
Older Brother Jayad placed the Dream Card on his forehead. My Guardian also appeared. I controlled the Valkyrie to move towards Older Brother Jayad and also placed her forehead on the Dream Card.
The Valkyrie usually wore a gorgeous helmet, with no observation holes for her eyes, just a mask carved with painted patterns. If she needed to place her forehead on someone else’s forehead, she would have to take off the helmet.
However, beneath the mask was not Parul’s face, but the face of that witch from back then. After all, the Valkyrie was made based on the witch’s soul, so their appearances were exactly the same.
This was very strange. Although it was my consciousness controlling the Valkyrie, she had to approach Older Brother Jayad’s face with the witch’s face. I felt something was not quite right.
Older Brother Jayad also had an unnatural expression. Although the witch’s face was beautiful, and he knew that the Valkyrie was essentially Parul’s clone, it still felt very odd.
But time was running out. The Beast King was already in position, and the General was still trying to buy time. The female prisoner was also looking at Jayad strangely in his arms. She couldn’t see the Valkyrie, so she didn’t understand why he suddenly took out a card and put it on his forehead.
I shook my head, dismissing the strange thought. I directly placed the Valkyrie’s forehead on the Dream Card on Older Brother Jayad’s forehead. As long as both of us touched the Dream Card simultaneously, we could enter the same dream together. Furthermore, if we could possess others like Lorna and Via, we could connect with more people simultaneously.
Just as I expected, when the Valkyrie and Older Brother Jayad touched the Dream Card with their foreheads simultaneously, our dreams connected.
A ray of dawn light illuminated Cando City in my Inner Dark Side. The sun rose, and when the blood vessels covering the sky above Cando City were illuminated by the sunlight, they instantly ignited and burned.
Not only that, as the sun continued to rise, the tumor-like flesh masses in the city, the blood flowing all over the ground, the manuscripts containing forbidden demonic knowledge, and the flies flying everywhere all began to burn fiercely.
This was not ordinary sunlight, but pure Holy Light. It seemed to purify all evil in the world. Everything evil that was illuminated by the light burned fiercely.
This included the Beast King. As the entire city turned into a sea of pure white Holy Fire, the wandering Beast King let out a tragic cry. Holy Light also emerged from its body.
But I wasn’t afraid at all. I even opened my hands to welcome the light. It felt so familiar, warm, and sacred. It was Older Brother Jayad’s light.
Indeed, even though the ignited manuscript and river of blood were under my feet, the Holy Fire did not harm me at all. It even felt warm. I could stand in the fire and be myself.
As the sun quickly rose to its zenith, all the evil in the city had been burned to ashes. The Holy Fire also extinguished. Even the two scarlet compound eyes in the sky were obscured by the sunlight and could no longer be seen. Now, Cando City looked as it usually did, except it was empty.
As expected, when Cando City returned to its original state, a ball of light converged. Older Brother Jayad walked out from within. Seeing me, he said, “Parul, that’s great! Our plan was successful. It seems our hypothesis was correct.”
Our hypothesis was that even though Older Brother Jayad and I were far apart, we could remotely connect our dreams through the Valkyrie, who was my alter ego.
As the Holy Fire in the entire city extinguished one by one, there was still one monster whose body was still burning with fierce Holy Fire. That was right, the Beast King. It was indeed very powerful. It had endured the burning for so long and was still fine. Feeling its powerful aura, it seemed like it could continue to burn for a long time.
