Chapter 168 Resurrection of the Dead
As for the curse from Liu Bai's mouth, Alechino, who carries the blood of the Red Moon, actually doesn't care. She imitates Nashida's actions just for show.
However, the reason why Nashida asked Liu Bai to do this was because she knew that when he questioned Crevy, this sentence would cause Alechino's disgust, thus destroying their relationship as colleagues.
And just as Nashida worried, even though Alechino was known for his cold-bloodedness, after hearing what Liu Bai asked Clevi, anger burned in his eyes, and his strength gathered in his right hand, condensing into the shape of a dark red sickle.
But before she could move, she found that her right hand holding the sickle had been entangled by vines that appeared out of nowhere, so she had no choice but to look at Nashida beside her.
Narcida shook her head at Alechino but did not explain, to avoid accidentally replying to Liu Bai's words.
"Eh……?"
Hearing Liu Bai's question, Krevy looked a little confused.
But looking at Liu Bai's expectant expression in front of him, he had no choice but to nod.
"I'm human."
According to Liu Bai's request, Krevy answered like this.
Just when she thought her wish had been fulfilled, Clive's body had already begun to show signs of dissipating, from an appearance that was no different from a real person to a slightly transparent state.
But as her answer came out, the illusory body immediately began to solidify, and white light bloomed from its body.
After just a few breaths, Krevi gave people a completely different feeling. Liu Bai, who was closer, could feel her gentle breathing and regular heartbeat.
"Is this... a Word Spirit?"
Liu Bai only asked a question, and Krevie began to breathe and have a heartbeat. After being slightly shocked, Alechino realized that this might be some kind of power attached to language, and subconsciously thought of "the spirit of words".
At the same time, she also remembered the information brought back by the children. Liu Bai once turned Vashie, who was not a Fontaine native, into a Fontaine native in court, causing Vashie to be dissolved by the primordial fetal sea water.
"Here, shake hands."
Liu Bai raised one hand and spoke to Krevy.
Krevy also noticed the changes in her body. She looked down at her hands, and after a while she reached out and placed her hand on Liu Bai's.
"So warm, just like before~"
Touching Liu Bai's hand, Klevi couldn't help but smile happily. She hadn't felt the warmth of someone else's palm for a long time.
"Yeah, that's good. I can finally give it to you."
Liu Bai took Krewei's hand and stuffed a bottle of milkshake into her hand as he wished.
"…Thank you. Now, I didn't even taste her."
After taking the milkshake, Krevy bowed to Liu Bai and thanked him.
After answering Liu Bai's question, she felt her mind became much clearer. She understood that her previous self was actually a ghost-like existence and all her feelings were false.
Then, she turned and looked at Alechino, who had put away his sickle without her knowing.
"Pepe!"
Klevi called out excitedly, then rushed forward and hugged Alechino, but as she was still a child, she was much shorter than Alechino and didn't even reach her chest.
"Well, I'm here."
Feeling Krevie's heartbeat and breathing, Alechino gently patted her back with one hand, as if comforting a child.
After a long while, Krevy finally let go of Alechino and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
I don’t know if it’s because of excitement, but her little face is flushed and her expression is much more lively than before.
"...Why can she talk to her little sister even though the thing on her ear hasn't been removed? Girl, why don't we run away!"
Looking at Alechino whose ears were still sealed by elemental power, Liu Bai suggested to Nashida beside him guiltily.
"No, I don't think she will mind."
Nashida held Liu Bai's hand and shook her head gently to prevent him from escaping first.
"Pepe...do I have a chance to go with you to see the northern lights on a winter night?"
Krevy raised her head and looked at Alechino, with her hands on her chest, asking her uncertainly.
"Of course, if you want to see it."
Alechino answered affirmatively.
Although she was not sure what the language ability Liu Bai had just displayed was, after coming into contact with Krevie, she could be very sure that the other party was a living person, not the original embers.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward! ]
[Resurrection of the Dead: When holding this item, all creatures killed by the host will be listed. You can also select the enemy as the target and list all creatures killed by the target. When using this item, the host can choose a creature to revive.]
[Targets sent to the graveyard by the host: Mosquitoes xN, Heavy Armored Crabs xN, Hillmen xN... Dotore (sliced), Azar, Vashj]
While Alechino was talking to Krevy, the system listed a large number of creatures' names and displayed them in front of Liu Bai.
Many names can be seen among them, but Liu Bai basically can't remember who they are.
“Oh, that’s amazing…”
When Liu Bai saw this prop, he found that it seemed quite powerful, so he turned around and looked at Nashida without saying a word.
[The target that Nashida sent to the cemetery: ...Liu Bai's son x N billion]
"...?"
Nashida, who has been imprisoned for five hundred years since birth, has obviously not caused the death of any animals, but this item listed by the system made Liu Bai raise a question mark over his head.
Shaking his head, Liu Bai looked at Alechino again.
[The targets sent to the cemetery by Peruvian: ***, ***, ***, ***... Krevy, Kugavina... ***, ***...]
"Fuck..."
Looking at the large number of names listed at that moment, Liu Bai subconsciously exclaimed.
The names at the top are most likely the other children in the experiment of selecting the king, while the names at the bottom are probably from after Arlecino became an executive.
After all, her job is actually closer to that of a killer.
Liu Bai's exclamation attracted the attention of Alechino and Krevi, and the two who were talking turned around and looked at Liu Bai.
"...I'm sorry, girl. I can only save our child next time."
Seeing the looks of the two people, Liu Bai had to turn around and say to Nashida regretfully.
"Hey... what are you talking about?"
Liu Bai's sudden words made Nashida blush, and she was unable to understand what Liu Bai meant for a moment.
But Liu Bai did not explain, but looked at Alechino and Krevi seriously.
"Don't be too happy, both of you. The ability I just used can only last for one day. Once midnight passes, she will return to her original form unless I use it again for her."
Liu Bai explained to the two of them.
Regardless of when the skill takes effect, it will end at 12 o'clock that evening.
"Eh?"
Krevy showed a lost expression on her face and subconsciously grabbed Alechino's hand.
Originally, she could have left calmly, but after regaining her life, she was told that she only had one day to live, so she felt reluctant to leave.
"You mean...she needs to be scolded by you once a day?"
Alechino frowned slightly.
Although verbal abuse would not cause any substantial harm, she did not want to maintain Krevy's life in this way.
