21 Confusion

"Where is that boy named Ye Bai? Where is he?" Old Yi shouted. He couldn't endure it anymore.

Based on how enraged Old Yi from the DarkWood Sect was, things were clear. Xiao Wu spouted everything out. The three of them had agreed before to hide their relationship with Brother Ye. Since both Brother Ye and his maids had disappeared, things were a bit easier now.

"We don't know. In the last room, after talking with Xiao Wu, he disappeared. He accepted the easiest test. Each one of us accepted another test and after we finished them, we appeared together. Ye Bai didn't show up at all, perhaps he's dead?" Li Qi slowly explained what the three of them discussed before.

"Spit out the truth! Right." he turned to look at Xiao Wu, "You can't lie? You said you can tell if someone is telling the truth or not. Is that youth telling the truth?" said Old Yi with a devilish smile on his face. 'Trying to trick an Elder of the DarkWood Sect, they sure think they are smart.'

Li Qi paused, how stupid, they had actually forgotten Xiao Wu's curse. 'Damn it!'

Xiao Wu wasn't an idiot, what's more, she knew they were covering for Ye Bai due to her curse. Blinking as she struggled in her mind, to talk or to shut up. She already made things difficult for Ye Bai, nevertheless, he remained her benefactor.

...

"GET OUT OF MY MIND!" I shouted, spilling blood.

A baby sleeping in his mother's arms started crying due to my sudden shout. Everyone stared at me, I could hear their voices.

"Hurry up, let's go, look at how he's dressed. He's a lunatic."

"Go, let's go."

"Hey, don't come over here."

Someone pushed me, and I fell to the floor. I could feel my mind being silently tortured, the whispers telling me to kill them, to eat them. The piercing pain in my soul was not getting any better. The annoying cries of the baby were too much, any sound making it worse.

'Kill them, silence them, they are annoying...'

Panting, I struggled my way out of the crowd surrounding me, supporting myself against the building, I reached a dark and old alley. The whisper of death invaded my mind, even more, my senses were failing me.

Rolling on the floor, a new wave of pain filled my soul. I was so confused, what happened. Where I am...

"He's there, look that's the lunatic we talked you about."

"Right, he molested a young mother and a baby"

"Impossible..." I muttered. I forced my eyes to look properly at the figure, a cop? Was I back in my previous world? How?

'System! Help me, please!'

[Ding! The s... tem...oov...la...ed...be....ful....Hos...da...co...e]

'System! System!'

What's happening, the system is not working. Right... I could barely notice what those around me were doing, all my focus was on my soul. Thanks to the second soul, it was a little easier to resist the pain. However, my second soul was being damaged at a high speed, at this rate, it would cease to exist. I couldn't think of things properly.

The cop grabbed me...

"Don't!"

My fuzzy line of sight saw how the cop who just grabbed me convulsed and started rotting, several seconds later he turned into a pool of blood and flesh. The guys who came with the cops ran away, yelling for help...

I need to hide, I tried to move, but it was impossible, the pain was too overwhelming. I could only endure the pain... a new wave of death engulfed my soul. Right, it all started because of the Death Core and those stupid mirrors...

"Don't move or we will shoot!"

"Put your hand behind your head!"

Words echoed in my mind, more cops? 'Right... more cops... fuck you!' the whispers finally succeed. I lost my mind. 'Kill them... eat them... they don't deserve to live...'

"Where were you when my mother needed you! You rotten police!" my body was moving on its own. The less I struggled against the death force affecting my soul, the better I felt. Release it, I need to release it. The cops fired the bullets, which were ineffective. It didn't even itch a little bit. They didn't have much time to react. Before their mind could process what exactly happened, I decapitated them with my Scythe.

I couldn't care less, I gave in to the Death Core's wishes, I needed to feel better, the pain was too intense. I expanded my soul, releasing along with the Death Energy in my soul.

[Ding! Sk... ear... Sou... /00...]

I released a dark and profound roar that came from the depths of hell itself. I could feel it, a subtle connection to somewhere. My soul pushed through everything in a 100 meters radius, everything in that area froze, several thousand people's eyes became blank. It happened in an instant, every living being dropped dead to the cold floor. Thousands of souls filled my sight. I wasn't in control of my body, but I could feel a pleasant feeling, control, power. My mouth opened, a black small whirlpool forming inside of it, the souls didn't have a chance to flee, they ended up being sucked inside it. I still didn't know what was happening or where I was. The only thing I knew was that these poor souls didn't have a chance to be reincarnated. They were utterly finished, 3740 souls, women, children, babies, old men. I felt nothing, no sadness or pain, why would I feel something? I didn't know them. What did they have to do with me? My only feeling was confusion and a slight feeling of proudness.

Time went by. I didn't move, I remained in the same spot. The world I was seeing blurred, somehow, I recovered. Was that my world? Was everything real?

For some reason, I felt strange as if something inside of me changed. Looking at my surroundings, I was back, I recognized this place, the Ancient Ruins. This was the last place I remember being in. Broken mirrors where around me everywhere... my memories came back. I was the one who destroyed them with my Scythe.
