Chapter 222: Sixty-six Have a good rest, son (5K)

“Rest in peace.”

When these three words escaped from Gerard’s lips, the entire world seemed to freeze for a second.

The flesh that fluttered down like dandelion seeds fell in heaps, turning into puddles of mud returning to the earth, while Yong Xin… more accurately, the vitality in Ian’s eyes was rapidly dissipating.

As a result, his face immediately took on a look of cleavage, half filled with relief and liberation, while the other half showed fear and madness.

“What have you done?! What have you done?!” The madness quickly overwhelmed the relief, and Yong Xin once again took the upper hand, screaming desperately at Gerard, “How could you dare?! How could you possibly dare?! You don’t think you’ve won, do you! I’m telling you it’s impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Though his vitality continued to wane, Yong Xin did not yield, still struggling fiercely. The dissolving flesh seemingly began to gather strength once more.

Gerard didn’t understand why this was happening; he had thought everything would end right after those words were spoken. Then he heard Bai Wei sigh inside his heart: “You said the wrong thing.”

“What?”

“You should not have used a soft word like ‘rest’,” Bai Wei said. “At his core, he was corrupted by a new god and possesses that god’s power. You should have used more decisive and explicit language, like— ‘Just die already,’ which would then correspond to the initial ‘Don’t die.'”

Listening to the phrase “Just die already,” Gerard couldn’t decide if Bai Wei was serious or joking.

But still, he gripped the Chainsaw Sword’s hilt tightly, staring with an ugly expression at the increasingly maddened Yong Xin: “Is there nothing we can do now?”

If it was because of this that Yong Xin survived and Ian could not find peace, Gerard would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

“That’s not necessarily true, after all ‘rest in peace’ essentially is another way of telling someone to die. It’s just slower, but the process is irreversible,” Bai Wei spoke with a casual tone. “And I can understand, what father could bear to tell his son he hasn’t seen in ten years to ‘Just die already’? By telling him to rest, at least you granted him some time to speak with you. Alright, let me help you. Relax your mind; well, I mean, empty your brain.”

Gerard hesitated for a second and then looked again at the Yong Xin in front of him, who seemed ready to pounce and bite, becoming increasingly chaotic like a Pollutant’s raw instincts. He hesitated momentarily.

To empty one’s brain in front of contamination of this level was indeed highly risky.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but if such a high level of contamination was left behind, that would be…

“He doesn’t have much time left,” said Bai Wei calmly. “Don’t you have anything you want to say to him?”

Hearing Bai Wei’s words, after a brief silence, Gerard slowly closed his eyes and spoke softly: “I’m troubled.”

He suspended his mental defenses.

Seeing this, Yong Xin was taken aback.

He never expected Gerard to dare to do such a thing, to empty his mind in his presence.

Did this man not fear my mental invasion?!

Although Yong Xin sharply sensed that Gerard’s action was strange, it was too late for further thought, as he realized Ian’s body at that moment was like a house on fire with no way out. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t avoid the fate of being burned alive inside.

But now, the door of the house was open, and outside was another house with its door wide open.

So the choice was simple.

Yong Xin rushed in like a madman.

Regardless of what Gerard was planning, his body was endowed with the power of a new god; was there anything left for him to fear?

And so, Yong Xin plunged into Gerard’s mind.

Then, he saw a huge ancient tree.

Under the ancient tree sat a humanoid shadow.

It smiled and greeted him: “Yo, welcome to Taoyuan Village.”

…

Gerard could feel Yong Xin entering his brain.

The feeling of being invaded was clear.

But it was only clear for a moment.

Soon, he couldn’t feel Yong Xin’s presence at all, as if he vanished into thin air, just like the previous time with Ocot.

…Is this the work of Visas?

Gerard was originally going to check carefully to see if Yong Xin truly had disappeared, but he suppressed the thought as he had more important things to do.

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

And indeed, he saw Ian smiling at him.

“Father,” Ian said softly, “finally… I see you.”

At that moment, something struck deep within Gerard’s soul.

“Yes,” he replied softly, “it has been a long time.”

As his voice faded, Ian began to cough violently.

“Ian!”

Gerard tried to support Ian, but as soon as his hand touched Ian’s shoulder, the spot began to decay instantly.

And after the violent coughing, what Ian spat out was not blood but shattered viscera.

“Father… it seems I really don’t have much time left,” Ian said with a troubled smile to Gerard. “Let’s skip the unnecessary talk. I will tell you… everything I know.”

Gerard clenched his fists tightly.

But then he let go.

“Okay.”

…

It was raining in the Polluted Land.

This made the march of the Devil’s Army even more difficult.
