Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1495: Chapter 811: Zhong Yu’s Love

The once bustling village in Xiuzhu State suddenly fell silent.

The Flower Pythons that used to perch on the bamboo roofs peeked over, observing this direction. After seeing that all the Gold Corpses were being controlled by one person, they immediately slithered towards the deepest part of the village.

By the huge bonfire, Zhong Yu looked at Lian Hua with confusion.

Hope rose in Zard’s eyes. If Naked Heart Gu truly worked, wouldn’t it save the entire village? No matter how it was done, balancing Zhong Yu was the main goal now; otherwise, if this demon were released, chaos would ensue in the world.

However, Zhong Yu’s reaction seemed different from what everyone had imagined.

He muttered to himself, ”Why do I have this inexplicable emotion? In this world, the only person I care about is Xiao Yu, not you... My reluctance towards you is as if someone is telling me that I should be reluctant.”

Everyone was stunned.

When Lian Hua fed Naked Heart Gu to Zhong Yu, he was unconscious and couldn’t possibly know of its existence.

Yet now, Zhong Yu clearly sensed something. He already knew this was caused by external forces!

The spiritual will of this Zhong Yu had already broken through the shackles of rules with the darkest emotions, nearly touching the verge of merging with the world.

There were even people in this world who would call his name, and he would perceive it.

How could such a long-dormant existence not perceive Naked Heart Gu?!

The next moment, a massive Scarlet Hand manifested in front of Zhong Yu, and the dark red phantom suddenly pierced through his own body, grasping something.

In a tug of war, a trace of red energy entangled within his body but was forcibly pulled outward by the Scarlet Hand.

Zhong Yu painfully widened his eyes, staring unfocused into the night sky, his eyes deeper and darker than the darkness itself.

As the Scarlet Hand tugged outward, the Lian people watched this ’pervert’ attempt to strip away Naked Heart Gu from himself.

This scene was terrifying; it was the first time they had seen someone able to achieve this level, to the point where even Naked Heart Gu’s energy seemed to be tearing apart.

However, the Naked Heart Gu, nurtured daily for 12 years by Lian Hua’s painstaking effort, was far more resilient than imagined.

In the pull, Zhong Yu’s very soul seemed to be being extracted. Outside his body, three phantoms appeared in sequence: the first of himself with pure black eyes, the second of an adult Da Yu in slumber with closed eyes, and the third of a young Xiao Yu, small and thin, with tear-filled eyes unable to open.

These phantoms appeared out of thin air before Zhong Yu, nearly separating due to the Scarlet Hand’s traction.

Zard shouted, ”You can’t do this! Forcibly pulling their spiritual will out, they’ll have nowhere to go and will die!”

But Zard worried too much; those three spiritual wills were already entangled, unable to separate, and even Zhong Yu couldn’t do it.

With a loud crash, dark red light and shadows scattered across the sky, and the three phantoms flew back into Huan Yu’s body.

Zhong Yu gasped, ”Interesting little thing... can’t peel it off?”

All the Lian people were dumbfounded; everything this person displayed had completely exceeded their understanding of the world.

Can people truly be savage to such an extent!

Zhong Yu lowered his head in thought for a moment, ”I can sense that this inexplicable energy is entwining not only me but also you. When one of these energies dissipates, the energy in the other’s body will also absorb all energy, meaning I cannot kill you. What a burden, waking up to such a burden.”

Zhong Yu mused, ”I even have to prevent you from committing suicide to destroy me. Moreover, I have to guard against someone killing you... this will become my greatest weakness. Therefore, I can’t turn you into a corpse or a wax figure; I must make you a human swine to carry with me. So troublesome.”

However, Zhong Yu suddenly laughed neurotically, ”I never thought I’d still be able to feel such a superfluous emotion as love one day. But when I think of making you an artwork to carry with me forever, I even feel a bit excited.”

Everyone’s breath caught.

The words Zhong Yu uttered were too bloody and cruel, utterly incomprehensible to them how terrifying a pervert’s love could be.

This thing called love is intangible. How many people turn love into hatred, how many people part in love, how many betray their lover; love is never an unbreakable shackle.

For the Lian people, love is the most precious thing, and they do not wish to be harmed when giving their whole heart, hence producing things like Naked Heart Gu.

But they do not know that there are those whose love inherently takes pleasure in harming others.

Like Zhong Yu.

Taking advantage of Zhong Yu’s musing on love, Zard immediately whispered to Lian Xin beside him, ”Run, run as far as you can, run to Taboo Land, run to the ends of the earth, just don’t come back. I’m sorry, I can’t save everyone; I can only save you.”

”What about you?” Lian Xin asked.

Zard grinned, ”I’ve been ready for a long time.”

Lian Xin stared in a daze at Zard. She only felt that the earlier maniac had vanished, replaced by a real Zard, a person residing in the other’s heart. The opponent wore the armor of madness against the world, and it was finally time to step out and charge for another person.
