Chapter 348 Wherever the Lamb Goes, Wolves Will Follow.
"You can still sense death?" Morgana asked with a surprised look on her face.
Although there are many gods of death in this world, the Twins of the Everhunter are undoubtedly a well-known symbol of death throughout Runeterra.
Not only in the continent of Valoran, they are also active in the Freljord Icefield. Bilgewater has a celebration to celebrate them, "Kindred Carnival Night", and even Ionia has a "Kindred Cult" that specifically believes in them. group".
In fact, if we really want to talk about it, on the battlefield where Demacia and Noxus fought some time ago, there must be a pair of spirits, a wolf and a sheep, active.
The sheep spirit is responsible for sending those who are willing to accept death to put aside their pain and leave the world of the living, while the wolf spirit hunts and tears into pieces those souls who try to escape the laws of time and resist death itself.
Of course, people like Morgana who have received the blessings of the stars have already gained immortal lifespan and completely separated themselves from death. Naturally, they will no longer see death and basically cannot perceive them.
But Zoe actually said that they were nearby...
Morgana was stunned for a moment, then stared at Zoe's "innocent" face, "You seem to be a little different from me."
"Each of us is different, just like there are no duplicate stars in the universe." Zoe replied nonchalantly.
In other words, her attention was always on Li Lin, and she didn't pay much attention to Morgana at all.
"Do you know where they are?" Li Lin asked curiously, but he really wanted to see the incarnations of these death spirits.
You know, among the gods of death created by the Masked Spirit Mother, the incarnation of death, only Qian Jue is famous throughout the world.
Are their true images the same as what I remember?
Li Lin wanted to know.
Moreover, Qian Jue will not take away the souls of those whose life spans have not reached their limit, so there is no need to be afraid even if they see their true forms.
"Of course! Fluffy puppies and cute lambs!" Zoe snapped her fingers and formed a golden portal behind her, "Follow me!"
Later, when Li Lin and Morgana followed Zoe into the portal, they found themselves in a village.
To Li Lin, this is a very familiar village.
He called up the map coordinates on the battle armor's display screen and was surprised to find that this was Hengfeng Village.
"Huh? Isn't this the village I mentioned?"
"No wonder, I didn't feel the breath of any living beings, but there were traces of black magic remaining." Morgana blinked and looked around at the surrounding buildings with a slightly sad expression, "The villagers here..."
"They were all devoured by Fiddlesticks." Li Lin also felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
No matter how much Andel resented them, if the story Isidor told was not a fiction, then these people were innocent and they did not harm Qin.
Just as he was sighing, a song that sounded familiar, but the singer was replaced by a little girl's child's voice came from a distance.
Li Lin and Morgana looked at each other, while Zoe happily leaned forward and flew in the direction of the source of the sound.
The two followed closely and soon arrived at the gate of a courtyard at the entrance of the village.
This is the courtyard where the drone found the parchment printed with devil hymns and magic circles.
Andel, Natalie and Jean's original home.
Li and Lin stopped outside the decaying fence of the yard. A petite, slightly transparent girl stood at the door of the main house, with her back to them, humming a tune.
"Although the light is calling and the melody is ringing, it's a pity that it's too late, it's too late..."
Morgana narrowed her eyes slightly, "Sure enough, the aura of the soul, she is indeed a revenant."
Li Lin's eyes were quite complicated, "Qin..."
Zoe picked up a lollipop from somewhere and just stuffed it into her mouth. She looked in one direction and said, "Death is coming."
At this moment, a cold breeze suddenly blew in the silent night.
Even though Li Lin was wearing a battle armor that could maintain a constant temperature, he felt a chill that seemed to penetrate his soul.
"Three beating hearts, sheep, can I eat them?" A hoarse, deep male voice came from an unknown direction.
Then, an ethereal and transparent female voice responded: "That is not our purpose, dear wolf."
The next second, on the roof of the main house of the mansion, two magic powers, one black and one white, twisted into a whirlpool, quickly gathered and transformed into an entity.
A sheep with a human shape and a wolf mask squatted on the eaves, holding a black and white long bow without a bowstring in his left hand.
And right next to Him, protecting Him, was a wolf head with no body, only a head, a sheep mask on its face, and blue flames burning in its mouth.
Li Lin immediately started digital thinking to view their personal panels:
[Name: Everhunting Twins·Qian Jue (common title)]
[Race: Death Incarnation·Creation of the Masked Spirit Mother]
[Occupation: God of Death]
【……】
Just when Li Lin was observing them, they were also looking here.
"Who are they?" Wolf Spirit asked.
Yang Ling's eyes first stayed on the little girl's soul below, and then looked at Li Lin, Zoe and Morgana outside the house, with a faint blue light dancing in his eyes.
Li Lin could easily feel that Yang Ling's eyes stayed on him for the longest time, as if he was examining something.
There were not only goosebumps on the surface of his skin, it was an instinctive reaction of his body.
"The immortal person who inherited the power from outside the world also has a... beloved son of the world." Sheep Spirit was silent for a long time before answering.
As soon as Zoe saw them, regardless of anything else, she jumped into the circle of light excitedly, and the next second she appeared on the roof where Kindred was, less than ten steps away from them.
"Hi, my name is Zoe, can we be friends? You guys are so cool!"
Seeing this, Li Lin below couldn't help but sigh.
"You're too close!" The wolf spirit protected the sheep spirit, its voice became deeper, and the tone was full of warning.
"She's just an innocent little girl, dear wolf, she doesn't mean any harm."
After calming the nervous wolf spirit for a while, the sheep spirit first looked down at Li Lin and Morgana who entered the yard and were only a few steps away from Qin's soul, and then focused their eyes on Zoe again.
"My name is Yi Na, and his name is Abni. These are the names given to us by Westerners." Yang Ling said calmly.
"We have a lot of names!"
The wolf spirit dodged and swayed quickly around Zoe. The moment she reached out to touch him, he immediately disappeared and regrouped next to the sheep spirit.
"If you want, you can call us according to the Eastern names. I am Shi Ji and he is Yiya."
"Hmm... it's such a hard name to remember." Zoe's little face showed a little distress, and then she opened her eyes wide and laughed, "I'll call you little sheep and little wolf!"
Kindred fell into a brief silence.
"I have always had a question, what is the relationship between you?" Zoe blinked, "I can feel that the connection between you is very close. Are you one?"
Yang Ling did not answer the question and changed the subject: "We still have tasks to be busy with."
His figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Qin's soul, and the wolf spirit followed her closely, never leaving.
Even though the little girl's back was turned to Li Lin, he could still feel that Qin didn't seem to be afraid of Qian Jue.
She just raised her head and looked at the sheep spirit who was slightly taller than herself, "Are you here to take me away?"
"It depends on your choice." Yang Ling said in a hollow voice, "We already know your name."
Wolf Spirit circled around Qin and took a deep breath of air, "Your name is Qin, your soul smells delicious."
As if he didn't want such a little girl to be frightened by the wolf spirit, the sheep spirit waved at him and asked him to return to her side.
Then, she continued to ask Qin: "Are you willing to accept the pursuit of the wolf, or my flying arrow?"
"As long as I can get rid of this...any way."
There was a hint of crying in Qin's voice, "I knew I was dead because I didn't listen to my parents and went into the forest.
“But I don’t know what happened, but when I regained consciousness, I was lying on my bed at home, with my parents holding the other... dead ‘me’, right next to the bed.
"I have never seen them so strange. My mother cast a magic on me that is taboo in Demacia, but judging from my mother's expression, she didn't seem to succeed.
"Dad is by mom's side. He was originally a kind and gentle man! But now he has a fierce expression, muttering that he wants to kill all the murderers, all... the villagers.
"I cried and begged them to look at me, but my voice was so hollow and weak. They couldn't hear me or touch me. The same was true for everyone in the village."
At this point, Qin was already crying.
Qianjue listened silently to her cries and did not take away her soul at this time.
"It has been three years. I witnessed my father leaving my mother for a long time and bringing back a sheepskin scroll, which was used to summon demons. They wanted to sacrifice the entire village to resurrect me...
"They succeeded, but what they summoned was a demon that could not be controlled... Fiddlesticks, the head of the demons sung in ancient songs."
Qin covered her face and cried bitterly, but as a spirit body, she had long lost the qualification to cry.
Even if she didn't tell what happened next, Li Lin could sort out the causes and consequences and make a general deduction.
Natalie's soul was taken away by Fiddlesticks in the field, which was the first time it appeared.
Later, for some unknown reason, Andel approached Jarvan IV and wanted him to lead his army to Mount Everest.
But to Andel's surprise, Hengfeng Village at this time was already the domain of Fiddlesticks' dark magic. Perhaps it was because of this magic that Qin was able to condense a spiritual body that could be seen by others.
As soon as he entered the village, Andel was killed by Fiddlesticks, which he deserved.
It's just a pain for Qin, who has been "imprisoned" here for three years by them...
"What a stupid human being." The wolf spirit snorted and cursed, "No living being can escape the law of life and death."
Just when Li Lin was thinking about the group of immortal souls on Shadow Island, the sheep spirit spoke: "You have forgotten those cursed ones, dear wolf."
"What a clumsy trick!" said the Wolf Spirit, "I can't wait to eat them alive!"
Yang Ling shook her head, looked down at Qin, raised the bow with her left hand, and pulled the bow string out of thin air with her right hand. A silver-white short arrow that looked like moonlight appeared on her fingertips and rested on the bow.
"Do you have any last words?"
Qin pursed her lips and looked back at Li Lin, "Back then, I saw those Demacian demon hunters and Noxians together in the mountains and forests."
Demonseekers and Noxus?
Li Lin's heart was filled with turmoil.
When he was about to ask for more details, Qin had already turned around, and the sheep spirit's sharp arrow pierced her soul. Only the last words lingered in Li Lin's ears:
"Thank you……"
