After chewing for a while, the Book of the Dead gurgled and swallowed the piece of meat in its mouth.

Even the illusory expression was forced to reveal an indescribable disgust.

"It's so disgusting! Ugh~"

In full view of everyone, the Book of the Dead swallowed up Li's body fragments, and everyone stepped back repeatedly when seeing this scene.

Even Xiaoli, who was most worried about Li's situation, kept a distance from the Book of the Dead, for fear that this disgusting thing would touch her.

"Yes...it's confirmed. These corpses and fragments are indeed Li's, and he is really dead."

Although others cannot confirm Li’s condition, the Book of the Dead still has a way.

Seeing that the Book of the Dead admitted that Li Zhen was just a pile of mosaics lying here, everyone's expressions became subtle again.

Tears fell from Xiaoli's eyes, Lilith turned her head away in disbelief, Lian fainted again, and only Theresa snorted coldly.

"No, we must help the young master. As long as we help, the young master will definitely be able to survive!"

"Okay Xiaoli, we will help."

Lilith took Xiaoli into her arms and gently comforted the sad little maid.

Lian, who had calmed down, ran over to grieve with them, leaving Theresa and Book of the Dead staring at each other in confusion.

"Teresa, don't you want to go and cry?"

"…If Li is really dead, there is no point in being sad. If there is a chance that Li can come back to life, why not just find a way?"

Teresa's words immediately stopped the others from crying.

"Theresa is right! Only if we cheer up can we help the young master!"

Lilith touched Xiaoli's head with satisfaction, thinking that Xiaoli had done a great job by notifying everyone as soon as possible.

"That's what we said, but what can we do to bring Li back to life?"

Lian's question cooled down the excitement that had just risen up. Xiaoli was about to cry again. Seeing this, the Book of the Dead stood up.

"Don't panic at the critical moment. You youngsters have never seen anything like this, but I have experienced many separations and deaths."

This is not something to be proud of!

"Hey~ I think the most important thing to do now is to make Li whole again."

Not to mention the girls, even the Book of the Dead was somewhat fed up with Lee's current state.

This proposal was immediately supported by all the staff, and several large plates of minced meat were placed on a large table.

"Xiao Li, you have learned necromancy, right? You should be able to put the broken pieces together."

Xiaoli put a lot of effort into learning necromancy, and she was able to piece together the body parts.

Xiaoli asked Lilith to get some fresh sheep's blood, picked up a pen, dipped it in the blood, and drew a magic circle in the room.

The bloody and strange magic circle emitted a strange light under Xiaoli's control.

"You need to stand at the marked point."

Upon hearing the command, the girls each took a step forward and stood at the node of the magic circle for the sacrificial ceremony.

In order to make the sacrificial ritual more effective, Xiaoli also dragged the half-dead Amber into the magic circle.

Under Amber's horrified gaze, the sacrifice ceremony was successfully initiated, and all the people standing in the magic circle felt the pain like being cut by a knife.

It was like countless knives cutting off their flesh and blood, and then filling Li's missing body with this flesh and blood.

The girls gritted their teeth, and no one made a sound.

"Great, you can stop now!"

With so many people replenishing Li's flesh and blood, the energy required was not very much. When the Book of the Dead saw that Li had recovered to normal, it hurriedly stopped the dangerous sacrifice ceremony.

The girls wiped the cold sweat from their heads, and Amber lay down again. Their results were still very gratifying.

"Master!"

At this moment, Li, who was lying on the big table, had returned to his normal shape.

There is no more unpleasant smell of blood and rot, and no more maggots crawling around.

Xiaoli cries with joy, but the Book of the Dead interrupts her.

"Now is not the time to be happy! Li's soul is not here!"

The knowledgeable Book of the Dead saw through Li's condition at a glance.

The body has recovered, but the soul is no longer in the body. What is in front of us is just a living corpse.

"What should I do? Only the young master knows how to awaken the soul!"

Xiaoli has done everything she could, and there is nothing she can do about the rest.

Others were even less able to help, as their abilities were not enough to reverse life and death.

After a long silence, Theresa stepped forward and broke the quiet atmosphere.

Theresa walked forward and gently stroked Li's cheek. Her gentle expression revealed a rare charming emotion.

"Li is too tired. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to just let him sleep peacefully like this."

This time, Xiaoli rarely refuted, because for Li, a peaceful rest was indeed a luxury.

Xiaoli still remembers that the young master wanted to be a lazy guy at first, but she doesn't know when the young master started to be endlessly busy.

Even if he wasn't running around outside, the young master would light a lamp and stay up late, constantly writing down his strange ideas.

Xiaoli also stood over, looked at the young master's peaceful sleeping face, and slowly became dazed.

Only Lilith remained calm, grabbing a table cover and covering Li's naked new body.

"Don't linger on. Li is gone. We still have a future."

Life and death are irreversible. Perhaps it was Li’s previous outrageous magic that gave rise to unreliable hopes in people’s hearts, but under normal circumstances, death is death.

In the kingdom, countless people are experiencing death at all times. Li is nothing special, so it is natural that death will happen to him.

Gradually, everyone began to accept the fact that Lee was dead. Even Lucy, who had only recently gotten together with Lee, accepted the current result.

"Let's say goodbye to him."

The girls stood in a row, with the Book of the Dead standing in the front with its hands clasped together.

Teresa, a professional nun, recited scriptures to mourn the dead.

“To everything there is a season, a time for everything: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to rejoice…”

The mourning scene was solemn, with faint sobbing sounds heard from time to time.

Lian, the girl who had not yet married Li, cried the most sadly. On the contrary, those who had contact with Li were the first to accept this result.

"Well, we should give him a grand..."

"Excuse me, I'm here to visit Vizor Lee. I..."

The sudden appearance of a figure interrupted the solemn ceremony. Everyone turned around and saw Saint Mary inexplicably appearing at the door.

Maria felt frightened by the gazes of these people and subconsciously hugged the holy book around her waist tightly.

"If you are doing something important, I can come over later!"

After saying this, Maria turned around and was about to run away.

However, the magic power released by the Book of the Dead closed the door directly.

"Catch her, don't let her escape!"
