Chapter 9: Captive Soul

  "I can?" I couldn't help but laugh a little, "What makes you think I can?"

  "By this." Kakabu suddenly pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on her nose.

  "Your soul vessel?" I asked tentatively.

  "Not bad, a special soul tool - the Eyes of Life and Death!" Kakabu said: "Through the Eyes of Life and Death, one can see the death energy on a person's body."

  "What's wrong?" I asked.

  "Uh, that's a special substance that is completely opposite to the power of life. The more death energy there is, the closer this person is to death."

  I suddenly thought of the legend about crows. It is said that crows can predict a person's life and death, and before one dies, they will perch on the branches of the tree in front of your house, and after you die, they will fly over to swallow your soul.

  It may be uncertain whether it is really so, but since I can see the lotus flower representing the essence of life on people's heads, it is not surprising that Kaka Bu can see dead air.

  I asked: "Because I see very little death energy on you, does that mean you will live to be a hundred years old and naturally be able to help me?"

  "No," Kakabu shook his head lightly, gazing at me with a somewhat frightening look, "the result was just the opposite. I saw a thick death aura on you. Hmm, it's so thick that an ordinary person would have died a hundred times."

  "This......" I was a bit speechless, and after a moment of contemplation, I said: "Just based on this, you're certain that I can help you achieve your goal?"

  Kaka nodded and said: "This is enough!"

  "But why should I help you?" I asked with a puzzled expression.

  But unexpectedly, Kakabu said in a very affirmative tone: "Because I can help you."

  "As early as the first time I saw you, I was deeply attracted to the dead air on your body, and I felt that you were different from others. At that time, I vaguely felt that you were a person who could help me. After you came back from Tang Chao's place that day, I became even more convinced of this."

  "Oh?"

  Kakabu said: "Because at that time I knew that Peter's death had a great relationship with you."

  "Why?" I had already suspected that Kakabu might know the truth, but I couldn't figure out how she was so certain.

  "Because of this." Kakabu pointed at my chest.

  He reached out and felt a small, icy object where she had pointed.

  Kakabu said with a hint of pride: "Friede has a fourth-level soul device. No matter how well you hide it, as long as we meet in person, at least five people from the headquarters can detect the aura of the soul device on you. Hehe, this is also one of the reasons why you need me. You are too unfamiliar with the world of Soul Masters."

  After a pause, Kaka quietly gazed at me and said: "No matter what your purpose is for contacting Lin Muxian, let's cooperate!"

  "Cooperation?" A brief silence ensued, and I extended my hand with a smile: "Hehe, nice cooperation!"

  Kakabu suddenly froze, staring at me blankly and said: "You agreed?"

  "Do you want me not to answer?" I looked at her and smiled.

  Bang!

  Kaka's small hands patted heavily on my palm, her face unable to hold back the enthusiastic and joyful smile.

  She jumped up and down like a little girl, cheering: "Great, great, I'm free!"

  Kakabu looked up at me with his face raised and said, "Brother, what plans do you have for the future?"

  "Brother?"

  "Really?" Kakabu's face lit up with a bright smile, "I've always wanted an older brother who can take care of me. Hehe, I see that the cute girls in books all have handsome, gentle and considerate older brothers by their side, so I want one too. Ha, and it's even a silly older brother. From now on, I'll call you Silly Older Brother."

  Automatically ignoring her change in attitude towards me, I continued with our previous topic: "What kind of plan do you think I should have?"

  "Ha! You're really a silly big brother," Kaka Bu laughed and said: "First, we have to deal with those two troubles. We can't let their souls run off to the Ancestral Temple to inform on us. If that happens, my grandfather will issue a warrant for your arrest, and you won't be able to fight it."

  My original intention was to let their souls go back and inform, so as to pull Lin Muxian onto my ship. It's just that I didn't want them to die so quickly, they had to leave me some time to transfer arrays and increase my strength.

  Before this, I didn't plan on going back to headquarters with Lin Muxian, let alone Anhun Hall.

  Judging from the current situation, my original goal has been achieved. Lin Muxian is now tied to me.

  But if you listen to Kakabu's, what will happen next?

  "So then?"

  "Then?" Kakabu said: "Then just go back like this, and say that we didn't meet them on the road. We'll go to the Anxun Temple, hehe, I have a way to solve your troubles. Hmm, but it's possible that Xunxian sister will make a mistake, her master is being held captive, she definitely can't hide her emotions. Alas, why don't we just kill her? I know how to undo the Soul Servant Seal on you."

  Kaka spoke very lightly, with no psychological burden at all.

  My heart was moved by this proposal, which wasn't bad for me. At first, I had no concept of soul servants at all.

  But...

  I glanced at Kaka lightly and smiled: "Don't make things complicated, sometimes killing people isn't a good way to solve problems."

  No one is nice to others without a reason, and compared to Lin Muxian who appears proud and cold on the outside but is actually simple-minded and childish inside, being led around by Kakabu is even more troublesome.

  No matter how Kakabu plans to help me, there is no free lunch in the world. Although I agreed to help her kill Kaya, it doesn't mean I will definitely do it.

  I wouldn't take this thing to heart anyway.

  Kakabu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly regained his smile. "Heh heh, honestly, have you fallen in love with Miao Xian sister? Haha, Benben brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, but Miao Xian sister is a famous beauty in the Lost Soul Realm, one of the Three Golden Flowers!"

  I glared at her and said, "Stop nagging, there will be a lot of things to do tomorrow, go to sleep quickly." After that, I walked towards Brad.

  Brad lay on the ground, his joints all removed, only his eyes could glare at me angrily.

  Originally, I just wanted him to drag on for a few more days without dying, but now I have to keep him alive, and for a long time.

  There are many ways to keep a person barely alive, but they all have one big premise: someone has to provide them with nutrition. Otherwise, no matter how good the method is, he will die of dehydration in just a few days.

  Uh, I've never actually encountered something like this before.

  "Hehe, really silly."

  Kakabu saw me standing beside Blade with a thoughtful expression, and she walked up to us laughing, saying: "Can't you just use the Soul Devouring Bead?"

  She picked up the silver dagger from the ground, walked to Brad's side, and without even looking at him, she swung her knife in a swift motion. A soft sound was heard, and Brad died silently.

  At the same time, she took out a Soul Devouring Orb and absorbed Brad's soul into it just like she did with Gao Peng last time.

  "Hey, in the Underworld, Soul Devouring Beads aren't used to keep a friend's soul from dispersing."

  Seeing her words seem to have a deeper meaning, I suddenly thought of it and was shocked in my heart: "Soul imprisoned, never to be reborn for eternity?"

  "Bingo!" Kakabu exclaimed with a smile.

  The endless cycle has already tormented me into this state, my soul is imprisoned... I suddenly dare not imagine.

  Yes, just don't know if the soul still has thoughts after being imprisoned.

  I suddenly thought of another question. What if I were imprisoned? After nine years, would I be able to escape the Soul-Devouring Bead's imprisonment and have my soul reincarnated again?

  This problem can't be figured out just by thinking about it, but for now, I haven't tried any ideas yet.

  After dealing with Shui Wuna in a lawful and proper manner, Kaka Bu insisted on sleeping together with me, holding onto my arm, before finally falling asleep.
