Chapter 183: Let Me Heal Your Wounds!
That golden-haired girl curled up in the deepest part of the icy pool, wrapped in countless hatred and malice, yet still holding onto the kind heart she never discarded!
"Alice!"
Lynn let out a loud roar and call, stretching his hand forcefully toward that girl.
In the icy depths of the pool, amidst the raging hatred.
The girl blankly raised her head.
"I am your doctor!"
"If you trust me."
Lynn's face was full of ferocity as he continuously descended in that ocean of consciousness, constantly reaching his hand toward that girl.
And behind him were the wildly surging black vines, the ferocious hatred from that vengeful ghost, and the sharp, terrifying shrieks.
"Then let me come!"Finally.
At that last moment, Lynn arduously stretched his hand toward the girl.
Her eyes reflected that face, reflected the trace of kindness hidden in the deepest part of those ferocious eyes.
Just like long ago.
The departed family members...
What she had hoped for...
The friendly and gentle hand reaching out to her once more...
"Let me come! Heal your trauma!"
Buzz—
The vast darkness and hatred surged like a violent blood spring, instantly sweeping over his entire body. Dense black capillaries immediately crawled across his face.
His right hand that had pierced into the vengeful ghost's body instantly broke, and his body was flung far away like a snapped paper kite.
The black blood stained with hatred scattered across the firmament.
His body heavily landed on the ground dozens of meters away, dragging out a long crimson trail.
[Ding! Your health points are rapidly decreasing!]
[Ding! Your body is being heavily eroded by ghost energy!]
[Ding! Current ghost energy erosion progress: 67%]
[Ding! Current ghost energy erosion progress: 75%]
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
But Lynn paid no attention whatsoever. He raised his head, his face instantly revealing a frenzied smile. He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbing a broken spear from the System space.
Then without any hesitation, he picked up that broken spear and fiercely thrust it into his own right leg.
The ghost energy wildly surging within his body suddenly activated the power within that broken spear.
Blinding holy light instantly surged through his flesh and blood, rushing toward his entire body.
[Ding! Health points lost!]
[Ding! Holy power interference, current ghost energy erosion progress in your body: 89%]
[Ding! Holy power interference, current ghost energy erosion progress in your body reduced to: 79%]
[Ding! Ghost energy reduced to 68%]
Lynn instantly raised his head, looking at the vengeful ghost shrieking as it surged toward him. He didn't dodge, he didn't avoid, because he knew...
"You've lost!"
His face suddenly split into a crazy, triumphant smile.
Buzz—
Almost at the moment when the ferocious blood hand was about to pierce Lynn's deathly still eyes, that blood hand suddenly stopped.
Her sharp, blood-red fingernails began to tremble, and her ferocious face suddenly showed immense unease and panic.
She found she couldn't advance any further.
She discovered that the endless hatred and malice she drove were actually turning against her at this moment.
"Mommy... was it you..."
A girl's crying voice suddenly sounded from within her body.
The vengeful ghost retreated palely, staring at her own hands in panic, saying:
"No! No! Alice! No!"
That was an extremely sorrowful wail coming from the deepest part of her body.
In the icy pool of consciousness.
At the moment she reached her hand toward Lynn.
She saw everything Lynn had witnessed in Echoes of the Past, and all of that was the truth Lynn wanted to tell her.
Pain.
Grief.
Despair.
Hatred!
She saw the entire process of her birth mother casting curses on her family, heard her soft whispers in their minds, saw the pain they carried beneath their masks before and after their transformation.
Saw them being softly bewitched, saw the curse spreading across their bodies, saw the gentleness of the past gradually turning into painful coldness and madness.
Like a hand manipulating puppets.
Like heavy smog covering the entire sky of the ancient castle.
"Ah!!!"
A bone-chilling, sharp shriek.
Drip—drip—
From the lifeless eyes of Alice's corpse, dripped something that could be either blood or tears.
Instantly, surging hatred pierced through the ancient castle's dome, rushing toward the high sky shrouded in black mist, madly stirring the all-encompassing black fog.
The faces of Bloodsaw and Doll Mistress waiting outside the castle instantly changed drastically.
They immediately felt the overwhelming hatred and resentment that almost broke through the sky.
That kind of chilling coldness even made their hearts palpitate.
"That is..."
Doll Mistress gazed solemnly at the dark clouds enveloping the entire ancient castle's sky, saying: "It's hatred. I've never seen any creature generate hatred on such a scale..."
"If it's an evil ghost... the power derived from hatred of this scale... I'm afraid it surpasses both you and me..."
Bloodsaw's eyes flickered, staring fixedly at the blazing ancient castle.
Doll Mistress turned her head, glancing at him and said:
"Should we intervene?"
Bloodsaw said heavily: "No need."
Doll Mistress looked somewhat surprised, the corner of her mouth slightly upturned: "Haven't you always cherished your disciple in your heart?"
Bloodsaw said deeply: "He had the chance to call for my help. After that incident, I gave him a way to contact me, but he didn't."
"Either he's already dead, or he believes that even without relying on his teacher, he has the ability to complete this mission himself!"
Bloodsaw closed his eyes, his hands already tightly clenched without him realizing.
"And if he really contacted me, I would actually look down on him."
...
Deepest part of the ancient castle.
The vengeful ghost shrieked madly, the flames surging around her continuously being extinguished and suppressed by the hatred emanating from her body.
That evil spirit body kept developing one bulge after another, as if something was crying and trying to break out.
She painfully tore at her own face, leaving bloody marks one after another.
"Alice! Alice! I am your mother! I am your birth mother!"
"Don't be bewitched by that human! Things... things aren't what you think..."
"It's them! It's them!! They are just devils wearing human skin! They deserve to die!! How dare they make you forget your own birth mother!! Daughter! Daughter!"
"Daughter!!"
Lynn arduously pulled out the spear, forcefully leaning on it to stand up, staring fixedly at the vengeful ghost.
"You're just driven by hatred and jealousy, you just want revenge, you have no right to be her mother."
