Chapter 283: Binding Soul Yu
It was terrifying enough that the majestic giant whale turned into a monster.
When the monster showed the culture dish containing the "living dead" in its body, the monster seemed to have turned into a deformed laboratory.
The gloom shrouded people's hearts. When the deck of the cruise ship was silent, the demons in it collectively bowed their heads and touched their chests, as if they were mourning in silence.
"Is this the revelation you are talking about?" Looking up at the floating giant whale, Mu Hua frowned and asked Barbara and Tina beside him.
"The natural lifespan of demons is longer than that of humans, but their followers will die with the death of their masters."
"These are humans who cannot achieve life transition. In order to ensure the continued survival of their followers, they chose to accept the parasitism of the soul-binding Yu before they died." Tina was silent, and Barbara explained.
"The Soul Binding Yu is not a good thing. These were created by the seventh? They also voluntarily shared their spiritual power with the seventh?"
"I'm afraid there are not only people who voluntarily sacrificed for the demons here? It also includes those who were punished by the contractor?" The cruise ship and the giant whale intersected. Mu Hua retracted his gaze from the giant whale, and said to Barbara with a sneer on his lips.
"I'm not sure about this." Mu Hua's tone was slightly sarcastic. What was more surprising was that Barbara did not deny it outright.
The Soul Binding Yu is the sea urchin-like evil thing parasitic on those people's heads. They can be understood as a magical creation, and they can also be regarded as a ghost.
They were born from a top-level undead magic. Although they have the effect of prolonging life, they are by no means kind.
They imprison the host's soul, absorb the host's thoughts and spirit, and if the host's spirit does not fight against them, they can also transfer the host's spiritual power to their creator.
This is a very bad ghost. They will even absorb the blood of the host. When they absorb enough blood, they will give birth to a certain subjective consciousness and evolve into a half-human, half-demon "flower of the other shore".
The reason why only the heads of the humans in the culture dishes in the giant whale are left is to prevent the evolution and growth of the soul-binding Yu.
This is not to extend the life of the contractor, because the parasitism of the soul-binding Yu is irreversible, and its original characteristic is to erase the five senses of the parasite.
The necromancer usually regards the soul-binding Yu as a means of attack and punishment, which is completely sacrificing the contractor to help the demon prolong his life.
Well, maybe it can't be said to be sacrificed. After all, those contractors were going to die anyway. It's just that before their demon followers died, they became unable to live or die.
"This is the fate of the contract owner. They have borne this fate. They are heroes of the demon clan." Near Mu Hua and his companions, a demon probably heard Mu Hua's words, bowed again in the direction of the giant whale, and looked at Mu Hua with a serious face.
"Get out of here, or I'll beat you up." Mu Hua raised his eyebrows and said to the demon with evil intentions.
Unlike Tina and Barbara, the demon at least looked a bit like a brain-dead fan.
It would be fine to say that this is the price to pay for having a demon family, but his wording and attitude made him look like a brainwashed idiot.
"You..." Mu Hua said rudely, and the other party seemed to want to argue, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that most of the nearby humans looked at him coldly.
After being stopped by a young man next to him, the demon turned his head away in dissatisfaction and ignored Mu Hua.
The young man who stopped the demon smiled apologetically and nodded to Mu Hua.
Mu Hua also nodded in response. The two of them said hello. The young man took the demon to the side and moved away from Mu Hua and the others.
No matter how the demons treat the humans in the culture dishes, as invited humans, the young people on the ship would definitely not like the situation of being parasitized by the bound spirit Yu at this stage.
"The bound spirit Yu will not erase their consciousness. They can make their dependents die at any time, and they have been holding on. They should be respected." A human with Alan ethnic ornaments attracted the attention of the people around him while speaking.
This is a human, a contract master, but he should be a citizen of Alan. In addition to foreign guests like Mu Hua, there are also some locals on the cruise ship who have signed contracts with demons.
After looking at the person who spoke, he was quite fair, and the people around him looked away when they were undecided.
"Although it may make you feel uncomfortable, this can also be seen as a kind of motivation. Humans do not necessarily die earlier than demons. If there are some emotional factors involved, many of Alan's sad love stories are based on them." Seeing that Taibesha was silent, Barbara comforted her. "As long as the life transition is completed, humans can also have a natural life span that exceeds that of demons." Tina also said to Mu Hua, who looked unhappy. Although he didn't like it, Mu Hua couldn't say that he was too resistant to those bound spirits. After all, between the contractor and the demon, the contractor still holds the initiative. "Oh, just?" Mu Hua chuckled. Tina talked too easily about the life transition.
"Well, for you." Tina's matter-of-fact tone seemed to be comforting Mu Hua, but it also attracted Barbara's sidelong glance.
"Tsk, you demons are really nosy. No wonder your reputation is still mixed in the outside world after so many years." Mu Hua shook his head and said casually like a complaint.
"Haha, this is also a self-protection method that the demons have to take. We should understand it." Before Tina could answer, a tall young man in a tight combat uniform walked up to Mu Hua.
"Hello, Voris." The young man named Voris extended his palm to Mu Hua.
"Mu Hua." Mu Hua shook hands with Voris, but heard Voris invite him.
"Dude, we are going to form a team to fight the exiles. Do you want to join?" Following the direction of Voris's finger, Mu Hua saw a dozen young people gathered together, and those people generally wore white masks.
"Master, we have important matters to attend to outside. We cannot stay in the courtyard for long." Mu Hua did not speak, Tina stepped out, and although she was close to Mu Hua, she spoke to Mu Hua in a voice that Voris could hear.
It was obvious that she was rejecting him, and Tina's attitude towards Mu Hua also made Voris' eyes flash with a strange color.
Mu Hua apologized for the rejection, but Voris did not say much. He smiled and said goodbye to Mu Hua, and walked towards others.
"Those are demons who lack confidence in their own combat power, and their contractors..." Voris left, and Tina whispered, looked around, and lowered her voice.
"I've read their information. They generally come from powerful families outside."
"This kind of people focus on scheming, and their intersection focuses on mutual assistance and connection in terms of power."
"You don't have much advantage in this regard, and it's difficult to establish friendship with them. This kind of people have instinctive ignorance and arrogance."
"They value talents, but they believe that there is no talent they can't create, so apart from power, they have a great degree of contempt for other things."
"You don't need to have intersections with them, they will only delay your growth." Tina whispered to Mu Hua to explain the reason for her interruption.
"Hey, hey, hey, Mu Hua, what kind of magic potion did you give Tina!" When Mu Hua nodded casually, Barbara stepped forward and hugged Mu Hua's neck.
Barbara was very tall, and her arm on Mu Hua's shoulder would not make the two of them stand awkwardly.
"How did you make her give up the idea of going deep into the Court of Exile?"
"And she is so useless now, what handle did she have in your hands?" Barbara looked at Mu Hua and Tina with a puzzled look.
Barbara was puzzled, and Taibesha was also curious. Tina was not as cold and arrogant as before, and she had a natural but professional smile on her lips.
In Barbara's opinion, even if Tina became someone else's dependent, she should not consider Mu Hua's trivial matters so carefully.
"Barbara, you should be more stable." Barbara asked jokingly and did not avoid Tina. Tina said calmly.
"Ha, stable? He is not my master. Look, your master doesn't seem to hate me for being unstable." While talking and laughing, Barbara pulled Mu Hua to her side, put her arms around Mu Hua's neck, and seemed to want to put Mu Hua's cheek against her chest.
Barbara's action made Tina's eyebrows slightly raised, but at this time Barbara was wearing a half-body light armor.
Mu Hua's cheek was pressed against the iron plate on the leather armor. Looking at Mu Hua's depressed expression, Tina curled her lips, ignored Barbara's provocation, turned her head to the side, facing the sea breeze, and looked at the nearby islands. (End of this chapter)
