C115 (1/2)

I subconsciously stopped struggling. The three of us hugged each other for a long time.

I can feel that Liu Qing's body was slightly trembling, and it was only after a long while that we separated.

I saw that Liu Qing's face was actually covered with tears. Lingling's eyes were also red, I, who was infected by this atmosphere, would not feel it.

After releasing us, Liu Qing wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and said:

”Xiao Die, Lingling, no matter what happens in the future, you two … ”Everyone has to believe in me, you have to believe in me …”

Before I could say anything, he suddenly changed the topic and continued.

”At that time, the symbol that you drew represented sacrificing your life, sacrificing the rest of your life to obtain greater power.

Actually, the so-called sacrificing one's life could also be said to be a loss of lifespan. It was all because of something that cost one's life.

In essence, there was not much difference between the two.

But the essential difference was that you had done something that had angered the heavens and caused your lifespan to be shortened.

In the other case, he had given up his life on his own accord.

That was the case with you. As for what you gave your life to, I don't know.

However, over the years, I have heard that there are a few evil sects that have gathered a few believers and swindled them into using a variety of methods to sacrifice their lives to the so-called God.

What you and Old God Wang did just now was contribute to your own life, but the difference is that you contributed to your own, while Old God Wang contributed to those two children's.

”Half a year ago, you drew that rune on the ground so many times that we can't remember how long it was. The situation was too dangerous, but I'm guessing that your lifespan is very close to zero …”

Hearing Liu Qing's words, to my surprise, I wasn't surprised at all. Actually, I had already guessed of this result a long time ago.

I just didn't expect it to be as exaggerated as Liu Qing said. According to him, I probably only have a few years left to live.

Endless extortion required endless hard work. There was nothing in this world that came to him out of nowhere.

Back then, I displayed such great power. Now that I think about it, it is natural for me to have paid so much.

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath. It seemed that I couldn't avoid what was supposed to happen after all.

It would have been better if I had known earlier, but I didn't feel too sad.

Everything is due to fate. I do have a very strong desire to survive, but when there are some things that cannot be avoided, why can't I greet them with a smile?

It wasn't optimism, but I didn't want to be too sad.

Just then, Liu Qing suddenly said:

”This so-called sacrifice is not impossible to reverse, but the crux of the matter is, what did you sacrifice your life for?”

”What is the connection with this book? From these aspects, we might be able to find a solution.”

I nodded and told Liu Qing about the strange things that this book had brought me. After considering it for a bit, it was always better than someone trying to force it out of me.

Including the series of troubles brought about by this book, as well as the various topics related to the villagers' beliefs and my guesses, I told Liu Qing everything.

And then I said,

”You originally knew a thing or two about this Evil Theurgy, right?”

Hearing my question, Liu Qing nodded his head, and said:
