The Journey of King Ashes of Teyvat

Page 591

As Yu Jin said this, he walked over to the side of the “poison”. They were wrapped in a mesh like blood clots and did not look easy to deal with.

“Ember, find the prism next to you and resonate with it. This will solve the problem.”

Erinace reminded Ember that both the reticular tissue and the resonating prisms were part of her immune system.

Unfortunately, due to its current state, the functions of these immune systems are already defective, and a large part of them simply do not obey its commands.

If not for this, it wouldn’t have needed to ask Ember to help deal with the poison.

Ember heard what Erinas said clearly, but he did not move.

“No need to bother.”

“Snapped!”

He placed one hand on the condensed poison, then applied a little force, and the condensed poison along with the mesh tissue on it was pulled off directly.

“Oh!”

The flames ignited, and the poison was burned into a pile of ash. This was repeated several times, and when the last piece of condensed poison was burned out, the pink here had changed to a mysterious purple.

When he saw purple, he felt uneasy. He should blame the world because purple represented dangerous things.

“Ember, here!”

The voice of Erinace suddenly had a source. Yu Jin turned his head and saw a floating shadow in front of the corner of the cliff on one side waving at him.

Without saying a word, Yu Jin jumped from the ground to the front of the cliff corner.

“No wonder Mamehe calls you father, it turns out that Meluseen was born by you.” Yu Jin blinked a few times. The Erinas in front of him was exactly like Meluseen.

No, it’s the other way around, Melusine and Erinaceus are cut from the same mold.

“That’s not the case. A part of Melusin does come from me, but there are other parts as well.”

“Iron and tears. My body alone is not enough to give birth to such a beautiful life.”

“That’s why I met you in the form of Melusin.”

Erinace thought for a moment, then explained to the ember.

“I see. It seems that you like Meilushin quite a bit.” Yu Jin nodded, and his previous statement was correct.

“Of course, they are so pretty and beautiful, they are my favorite!”

When talking about Melusine, Erinace’s face was filled with uncontrollable pride.

“Erinus…, if I’m guessing correctly, you should also be from outside the world, right?”

Yu Jin looked at the dark purple space in front of him and said with great certainty.

“So you already knew it, Ember. That’s right, I was just wandering in the dark universe, but it was my mother who called me here and brought color to my world.”

“Mother?”

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows. Oh my god, I’m not going to meet Du Lin’s sisters, am I?

“Yes, my mother is a very good person. She taught me how to sing and let me see the colorful world.”

“What a pity… I was born incompatible with this world.” Erinas smiled miserably, but it was too late when she realized this.

Lying quietly in the sea and letting the angry people strangle her was the only thing she could do to atone for her sins at that time.

“I understand this.” Yu Jin nodded. This was an old problem of Durin’s family, and now it has been passed on to the Meluseens.

This is really… hard to evaluate.

“But there are still surprises. For example, you are the second person I have met who will not be poisoned to death by my blood. This makes me very happy!”

“Then I guess Jacob must be the first one.”

Ember said, stroking his chin.

“You guessed it right. He and a group of people came into my body a long time ago. But for some reason, they started fighting.”

“It was a serious explosion at the end. A lot of people died, and a lot of steel animals died too. Those who survived became very quiet.”

“I remember he was seriously injured and had my blood on him, and then he became energetic again.”

The scene of Jacob’s recovery is still vivid in my mind. If Erinace was not so weak at that time, she would definitely show up and have a good talk with Jacob, who is not affected by the poisonous blood.

“I’m glad I could help him. I see you guys know each other, could you please pass the word on later.”

“Just say I don’t need anything in return, I don’t need his help to wake up my heart.”

Erinace confided to Ember in a somewhat distressed tone. She felt that the reason why Jacob made her heart beat again must be because of her help over the past few hundred years.

“You really are… just like Melusin. I’ll remember that and tell him not to do that next time I see him.”

Ember marveled at Erinus’s innocence, but Jacob was not as grateful as she said. He made the heart beat again just to make it easier to collect blood.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Hearing Yu Jin praising her for being the same as Meluseen, Erinas laughed heartily.

This was the first time that anyone other than her mother had praised Erinaceus. It was beautiful praise and made her very happy.

“By the way, if you don’t need Jacob’s help, do you want my help?”

Ember asked suddenly while sitting on the ground.

“Of course! That’s why I called you here.” Erinace nodded quickly and continued:

“Ember, it was very hot here before, like the sun. So, could you please use this heat to burn me to death?”

“This way, I won’t hurt anyone, right?”

Erinace pointed to her chest and said calmly, “Her vitality is beyond imagination. Even after hundreds of years, her body and soul have not completely died.”

Those immune cells roaming in the body continue to attack foreign objects uncontrollably.

Sometimes it’s real poison, and sometimes it’s just an unlucky person who got in by mistake.

“Um… I remember that Fontaine killing Meilushin was a super serious crime. Are you trying to lead me astray?”

“So, I refuse!”

“Eh?”

“What? Who would ask someone to kill themselves? Isn’t that just pushing someone into the fire?”

Seeing Erinus’s stunned look, Yu Jin spread his hands helplessly. As expected, Erinus had some mental problems.

“But I can’t commit suicide.” Erinaceus responded somewhat frustratedly. She also wanted to commit suicide, but she couldn’t do it at all.

While the body still existed, it might be possible to leave this world by physically killing it, but the key point was that Erinaceus was now left with only consciousness.

How does consciousness commit suicide? Erinaceus didn’t know. She tried many methods, such as suffocation and hanging, but in the end, it was useless except making her feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, the distress on Erinace’s face became even more intense, but there was no trace of fear on her face, as if she was only thinking about a difficult problem, not a matter concerning her life.

Hearing this, Yu Jin looked up at Erinath floating in front of him. She looked like Meluseen on the outside, but she was illusory on the inside.

The entire spirit body was just a hollow one. So he asked.

“You should ask yourself, do you really need to commit suicide?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Erinace trembled slightly as if some secret had been exposed.

“It must have taken you a long time to be so conscious, right? Shouldn’t we talk about something happy? Why are you always so hung up on whether to commit suicide or not?”

Ember continued. Erinace looked fine on the outside, but he knew it was all illusion.

The reason why Erinas was able to talk freely in front of Yu Jin now was probably because Jacob had forcibly activated the heart, which invigorated Erinas’ consciousness.

As long as the heart stops beating, the physical Erinaceus before him will probably disappear into thin air.

In this case, there is no need to resort to such special measures as killing Erinaceus.

“Let’s talk about something happy?” Hearing this, Erinace tried to recall the beautiful things in his mind, but unfortunately there were too few of them.

The only good times were those I had with my mom, but those times were short and easily eroded.

Erinace began to recall the memory of his first coming to this world, a vague, gentle and beautiful time.

But how can blur compete with clarity? And the gentle tones are no match for the bright red bloodstains.

Those vague memories were gradually replaced by clear images, and the memory was gradually filled with the things that Erinaceus feared.

Fear, grief, and overwhelming hatred were so clear in his memory, and the key point was that these things were summoned by Erinace himself.

“Die! You monster!!!”

“I……”

“Why are you still alive!!!”

“right……”

“Something like you shouldn’t be born in this world!!!”

“Snapped!!!”

A crisp sound of brain explosion resounded in Erinas’ mind. The questions that suffocated her and the countless people she dared not face finally disappeared.

After taking a breath, regret and the thought of death filled her heart.

“You have a very good memory, you know? The expressions on their faces, whether they were angry or sad, were all very vivid.”

Ember retracted his arm and said with emotion.

Erinace nodded: “That’s why I don’t dare to go see them.”

As she spoke, she covered her eyes and squatted down. The two horns on her forehead were trembling because of her inner agitation.

“So… please kill me, Yu Jin… so that I can answer them directly.”

Curled up in the air, Erinace said tremblingly. Every time she faced these questions, she was like a deflated ball, unable to say a word.

If she really died, and there really was an afterlife in the world, then surely she would be able to respond positively to those who died because of her, right?

“Tsk, if all the guilty people in the world were like you and your brother, I think Star Tears would have no market at all.”

Yu Jin looked at Erinas’s autistic appearance and shook his head with emotion.
