Chapter 62: To be a human or a beast?

"It's over, come in."

Youlan's voice came from the courtyard. After hearing it, Lu Xueling and Nana walked in slowly while the other rushed in like an arrow.

When she entered the secret room, the bodies of the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit were long gone, but the knife marks and broken stones on the ground were enough to show that a fierce battle (crushing) had taken place head-on.

"This……"

Nana was stunned. Although she had always believed that the Valkyrie armor was very strong, she was even more shocked when she saw Youlan really overturn the altar by herself.

This girl, who was five years younger than herself, had solved all the problems with only three rings of cultivation and a set of armor.

The whole process took only two minutes, and she couldn't imagine how Youlan did it.

All these changes came so suddenly.

"Nana." Nana was not suddenly awakened until Lu Xueling slowly walked into the secret room and called her name from close range.

"Go find your parents. Time is running out. I have other things to do. If you have anything to say, tell them right away. Youlan and I will wait for you outside."

As he spoke, Lu Xueling had already taken out a gray-black, gem-like object.

"melt."

As soon as he uttered the word, all the evil spirits of death and resentment in the place were immediately absorbed by the grey gem. Of course, the souls of the two evil soul masters were also devoured!

"Even a fly's legs are meat." Lu Xueling put away the gray gem, and then he and Youlan flashed out along the way they came.

After leaving the underground hall, they happened to run into eight holy servants who had gathered together. The strength of these holy servants was still far behind Nana's, and Youlan knocked them all down easily without being able to resist much.

"The Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit are dead. The cult's altar has been broken down. The souls of your relatives have been purified. If you still want to see them for the last time, go down quickly."

Lu Xueling took off their hoods one by one, revealing their young and pale faces.

Seeing their dazed looks, Youlan was impatient and was about to draw her sword again: "If we wanted to kill you, you would have become corpses a long time ago. Why don't you go quickly? If you miss this opportunity, you will never see your loved ones again. This is also the best time for you to get out of this hellhole and be free."

She added some of the emperor's auspicious beast's huge mental power to her angry shouts, and these holy servants woke up one by one and rushed into the underground hall.

With a long breath, Youlan slowly walked out of this seemingly ordinary room. She leaned against the wall outside, her eyes slightly closed, and a strong sense of weakness suddenly came from her brain.

"Are you exhausted?" Lu Xueling supported her with concern.

Youlan nodded and replied: "Maybe the resistance to Honkai is not enough. He used Amaterasu three times in a row and also used the power of the Stigma..."

Lu Xueling nodded with a hint of satisfaction: "How was the experience of using the Valkyrie Armor in its first battle?"

Speaking of this, Youlan seemed no longer sleepy: "Very strong, I like it very much. To be honest, if it weren't for... I really want to go with you."

Lu Xueling laughed and said, "Alright, isn't that the duty of a lucky beast? I won't be like some hypocrites who are always thinking about stealing it away. As long as you ask, I, Lu Xueling, promise to customize a set, no, more sets of exclusive Valkyrie armor for you!"

"……Really?"

"Well... But, do you really not want to think about it? For example, becoming a Herrscher." Youlan shook her head stubbornly: "No need, of course I know Lord Silver Dragon is more interested in Herrschers, but I think that I must have better talent in becoming a Valkyrie than a Herrscher!"

Having said this, Lu Xueling did not try to persuade him further: "Okay Youlan, I respect your decision."

After resting for a while, Youlan finally had the strength to stand up. She looked at Lu Xueling and said firmly, "As long as you don't let me do anything that will harm the soul beast clan, then, no matter what mission you are given in the future, I am willing to take it on!"

Lu Xueling listened to the system's prompts and was in a good mood. He tapped his right index finger and began to charge Scarlet: "A set of armor in exchange for Star Dou Luck and the Emperor's Auspicious Beast's following, I really made a fortune."

This progress, in addition to not being able to match the Herrscher core, of course Youlan has no intention of becoming a Herrscher. Lu Xueling can already bless her, and she will no longer suffer the backlash of the loss of vitality brought by the artificial stigmata.

Youlan answered very straightforwardly: "I can't help it. Who asked you to create something like this that I like so much?"

The conversation was very brief, and the sound of wailing could already be faintly heard from the tunnel inside the room. It was obvious that the holy servants had found the souls of their loved ones.

Nana was the first to come out of the tunnel. She had already taken off her hood and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She came in front of Lu Xueling and Youlan and her knees softened as she was about to kneel down. Fortunately, Lu Xueling was quick to catch her.

"Okay, accept my condolences. This can be considered as the salvation of your parents' souls. They finally have a place to rest."

Nana nodded gently: "Thank you, Master. You helped me fulfill my greatest wish."

"Are you serious?" Lu Xueling was stunned.

Nana looked at him firmly: "I said, as long as you can help me rescue my parents' souls, I will serve you even if I am a cow or a horse. You did it, and you also helped me purify the filth in my parents' souls." , and it also makes me no longer care. This kind of kindness can only be repaid throughout my life. If you insist on refusing, then I will have no love in this world, and I will have to leave this world forever. "

Lu Xueling fell into a brief contemplation after listening to this, while the other pale-faced figures with red and swollen eyes came behind Nana and knelt down in front of Lu Xueling at the same time: "I cannot repay you for your kindness in giving me a new life. I wish to accompany you for the rest of my life and serve you with my soul."

Their experiences were almost the same as Nana's. After seeing the souls of their loved ones finally be liberated, although they did not know Lu Xueling and Youlan before, one can imagine how they felt about him.

And they also learned from Nana that it was Lu Xueling who sent Youlan to take action so that they could escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Master, I don't want this either. But we have been enslaved for a long time, and almost all of us are orphans. We have no relatives in this world. If you don't want us, we don't even know what to do..."

"I definitely can't go back to the academy. Master, please give us instructions, or at least show us a clear path! Among the eight of them, there are four Soul Masters, four Soul Kings, and four of them are Soul Instructors. If you are unwilling to take us in, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape the pursuit of the Holy Spirit Church."

……

Listening to the continuous sounds of the Honkai God simulation system, Lu Xueling's ideas gradually took shape.

He suddenly showed a kind smile: "Okay, but now all of you must answer me a question first. The answer to this question is neither right nor wrong, nor reward or punishment. It will only determine the fork in your future fate."

The liberated holy servants held their breath and listened attentively.

Lu Xueling's question was also very simple: "If there is an afterlife, would you like to continue to be a human being, or be a beast?"
