Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 126

Seemingly adopting a "what's the use" attitude, Lingyu shouted very loudly.

The birds in the forest were startled and flew away in all directions.

However, her choice of words was still extremely cowardly, clearly indicating that she still harbored a lingering fear of Muzan.

However, this is understandable, since apart from Upper Moon One Kokushibo, who is clueless and thinks he is Muzan's partner, and Upper Moon Two Doma, who is emotionless and doesn't care about life or death.

Every demon harbors a deep-seated fear of Muzan.

"Am I alright...?"

After calling out Muzan's name, Zero touched and examined the barren body, checking for any abnormalities.

"Thank goodness! I'm still alive!!!"

Only after confirming that there were no problems and that he was still alive and well did he show a smile of relief.

Xia Yan, who had been observing Ling Yuzi from all angles with his white eyes, nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the potion seemed to be very effective.

“Indeed, it seems there’s no problem. Let’s try calling him by his full name this time.”

"Are you a devil!?"

Ling Yuzi's laughter stopped abruptly. The intense emotional turmoil even made her temporarily forget Xia Yan's terror, and she glared at Xia Yan with a look of grief and indignation.

However, it only gave her the courage to glare at Xia Yan.

Seeing that Xia Yan seemed to have no intention of changing his mind, she could only whisper Muzan's full name.

"...Kibutsuji...Muzan."

Nothing happened.

Lingyu couldn't help but recall the night she had just become a ghost.

The man with scarlet vertical pupils and hair like instant noodles spoke those words to me in a cold tone.

'You absolutely cannot say anything about me. If you dare to, I'll know immediately. I'm watching you all the time.'

The fear of being killed at that moment was etched into every cell of my body, almost flowing with my blood.

The ensuing curse, like a heavy shackle, bound him.

But now,

It seems the curse has been broken?

"Kibutsuji Muzan!"

Lingyuzi uttered Muzan's full name once again.

This time it was more coherent and the sound was louder.

But nothing happened. He had indeed broken the curse that Muzan had left in his body!

"Hehehe...I'm not dead! I'm really alright!"

Thinking of this, Lingyu even laughed out loud.

She felt a sense of complete relaxation, but her happiness did not last long.

Because it's already daylight!

The weather is very clear today, with not a single cloud in the sky, making it a perfect day for watching the sunrise.

But that only applies to Xia Yan.

As she watched the faint glow of the rising sun appear on the horizon, Ling Yuzi's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinholes, and she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Panic once again filled her blank mind.

She instinctively looked around for something to shield her from the sunlight.

but none!

After her Blood Demon Art destroyed the area, there wasn't even a tall tree left.

Without a doubt, it's too late for her to escape now.

"What should I do?! The sun is already up?! What should I do?!"

Driven entirely by the instinct for survival, Ling Yuzi subconsciously turned her gaze to Xia Yan.

"Huh!? What does that have to do with me?"

Looking at Ling Yuzi, who was staring at him with teary eyes and pleading in her gaze, Xia Yan's lips curled into a wicked grin.

"I promised you that if you did as I said, I would spare your life! Haven't you done that now?"

"The reason you're facing this predicament is entirely because you're too slow! If you had just listened to instructions from the beginning instead of running around aimlessly, you wouldn't have encountered this problem."

"So, you brought this all on yourself!"

"Let me just watch as the sun slowly burns you to ashes!"

This is a lie.

Xia Yan was just saying that on purpose to scare Ling Yuzi.

Putting aside the fact that Xia Yan had already planned to capture Ling Yuzi and raise him.

Even if it wasn't Zero, but some other strange-looking Lower Moon demon, he would still take them back.

After all, Tamayo and Kanae Chocho need to conduct a final check to fully determine whether the drug has truly achieved the expected effect.

He will carry out the destruction after the inspection; it's not a very humane way to destroy a person.

This is also one of the important reasons why Xia Yan set his sights on the Lower Moon demons, since even he couldn't capture an Upper Moon demon alive.

Unless he stops being a human being altogether.

With the help of Blood Demon Arts and various Stand abilities, as well as the magic from the Harry Potter world, capturing an Upper Moon demon should be no problem if we go all out.

But if he stops being human, then there's no need for this medicine to exist.

Chapter 199 Packing the Loli Away

However, Lingyuzi naturally had no idea what Xia Yan was thinking.

Her mind wasn't very sharp to begin with, and after hearing Xia Yan's words, her eyes looked like they were dead.

She even held back her tears.

When emotions reach their peak, they become impossible to express through words or actions.

She just clung to Xia Yan's leg, her eyes glazed over and her body trembling, as if she was preparing to write the word "misery" on Xia Yan's thigh before she died.

"However, it's not like we can't give you a chance to survive..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light appeared in Ling Yuzi's empty eyes.

However, it seemed that she had been criticized by Xia Yan too many times, and her mind was not working properly. She didn't say anything, just stared blankly at Xia Yan, waiting for him to say something next.

Seeing this, Xia Yan stroked her short, silver-white hair a couple of times, tested the feel, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I need a maid. If you behave well from now on, I can save your life..."

"Master! Please save me, Master! Lingyu will definitely listen to you from now on!!!"

"I'll do anything for you, please save my life!"

Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Ling Yuzi shamelessly changed her tune.

Seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope for life once again, Lingyuzi howled like a sloth and clung to Xia Yan's leg, as if afraid that if she spoke too late, Xia Yan would change his mind.

Clearly, he had taken Xia Yan's words to heart.

Seeing her like this, Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction, then took out a backpack from behind him.

"In that case, you'd better be prepared..."

Swah——

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling flash of light appeared.

Lingyu's crying expression froze on her young face.

The hands and feet that were originally wrapped around Xia Yan's legs lost all their strength and collapsed to the ground.

Then, due to gravity, her head rolled downwards, where Xia Yan caught it.

"His head... was chopped off..."

"I'm about to die..."

The head held in Xia Yan's hands murmured to itself.

Ling Yuzi looked at her headless corpse lying on the ground with an extremely complicated expression, and tears welled up in her eyes once again.

At that moment, all the memories of her life flooded back to her.

She was born into an ordinary farming family, and the whole family relied on the harvest from the land for a living.

Because the land was barren, the whole family barely managed to feed themselves.

Even so, the family lived a simple but happy life.

Until she was ten years old, a natural disaster struck.

The land yielded no harvest, and many people in the village died of hunger.

The dead bodies then caused a plague.

This created a vicious cycle.

Lingyu's parents also died of hunger because they left all the food for her when she was young.

Witnessing the villagers die one by one before her eyes caused Lingyu to have an extraordinary fear of death.

It was a bitterly cold night.

Having gone three days without food, Lingyu was forced to reach out her hand towards the corpse of her own kind...

That same night, a man with red eyes found her...

"Waaaaaaahh ...
