I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

#413 - 405. Borrowing a Soul

With a sharp sound of tearing through the air, a long sword transformed into a cold light, ripping apart the air as it flew towards the back of Ma En's heart. However, before it could actually reach his body, it paused for a moment as if it had hit something, but immediately shattered the obstruction and continued forward.

But this pause wasn't the only obstacle the long sword encountered. As soon as it regained its original speed, it seemed to hit another invisible wall, and this time, after breaking through the obstruction, it didn't have time to accelerate again, immediately starting to pause repeatedly.

By the time the long sword approached Ma En's back, it only had a third of its original speed left.

Buzz.

Turning around, Ma En effortlessly raised his hand and easily caught the long sword that was trying to pierce his heart. Then, with a calm expression, he looked at Zhong Ruixue, who was holding the sword hilt:

"Your sword has become slower."

Zhong Ruixue, holding the sword, looked at him and said:

"If you weren't prepared, this move would have been enough to take your life, so I'm a little curious…

"When did you notice?"

Sometime earlier, Ma En had quietly begun to set up a telekinetic defense circle centered around him, and had withdrawn the telekinetic shields that were originally used to protect Guan Yi.

Ma En replied:

"When I felt your presence on Yu Weijie, and…

"You know you're already dead, right?"

The person in front of him wasn't the real Zhong Ruixue. Her corpse was still lying on the ground in the distance. This figure was more like the clone that Yu Weijie had created when he attacked him earlier, but the one guiding her words and actions seemed very much like Zhong Ruixue's will.

A male voice came from behind Ma En:

"Of course, I and all of them are already dead, but in that case, it's better to change the way we think, after all, life and death only describe the specific state of the three souls, but when I see those lonely ghosts, I can't say that they are completely dead.

"So, why bother so much about your own life and death?"

Ma En turned around again, looking in the direction of the speaker.

The girl who had been talking to him just now to distract him had disappeared. Replacing her in the original position was a young man who looked carefree, with a faint smile on his face.

It was none other than Du Jin, the chief disciple of Xiaoyao.

Ma En said:

"This is Xiaoyao's conspiracy, to revive you in your junior sister's body?

"But as far as I know, your soul has actually been completely destroyed. You know you're still Guan Yi, right?"

As he said this, Du Jin's face blurred for a moment, revealing Guan Yi's terrified face under the rolling mist, and then Yu Weijie's desperate cheeks also emerged, but as he shook his head violently, he returned to Du Jin's appearance.

Then he began to murmur with his head lowered:

"I am Du Jin, I am Du Jin, I am Du Jin…"

Ma En narrowed his eyes and looked at him:

"You're just a segment of memory and consciousness."

Du Jin, who had slowly stabilized, looked at Ma En again:

"Don't waste your efforts. It's true that my three souls are my junior sister's, but there are currently four people's seven spirits in this body, but none of them can compare to me after my seven spirits are complete. No matter who I really am…

"Now I am Du Jin."

As he declared decisively, "Zhong Ruixue," who was standing behind Ma En, was also distancing herself, and in the distance, there was a ball of mist rolling, slowly transforming into the shape of a male body, gradually turning into Yu Weijie, who had just died.

Ma En looked at him calmly and asked:

"So this is Xiaoyao's purpose, to create a madman who doesn't know who he is."

Du Jin sneered:

"Master gave me a chance to live. The me of yesterday is not me, the Du Jin of the past is not me, the Guan Yi of the past is not me. The guy in front of you now who uses Guan Yi's soul and Du Jin's consciousness is me. You can call me a madman, but I know very well who I am…

"I am who I feel myself to be now, nothing else matters."

In fact, Du Jin felt that he was no longer completely Du Jin at this moment. The seven spirits of his other junior brothers and sisters were also influencing him. He had deliberately stuffed Zhong Ruixue and Yu Weijie's seven spirits into the clone in order to maintain his "purity" as much as possible.

In fact, for Master, it didn't matter who "he" was at all. Du Jin just didn't want to become a mixture of the four of them. The Xiaoyao secret technique was too exquisite. The mixture of their seven spirits didn't have any abnormalities at all, as if they were originally one person.

If he didn't deliberately stop it, he would soon no longer be the him he was now.

But even if he had taken measures, he couldn't completely erase the influence of his other junior brothers and sisters, especially Guan Yi's seven spirits. She couldn't simply be placed in an incarnation, because she would directly "betray" him.

Therefore, Du Jin was suppressing Guan Yi in his heart, but this inevitably caused him to be slightly influenced by her, which was why he was answering Ma En's questions so honestly at this moment, because this was what "she" wanted to say.

Ma En looked puzzled:

"So this is what he did? I don't see any need to pull me into this."

Du Jin smiled and said:

"If you think so, you're underestimating my master. What he cares about is not how the seven spirits and three souls get along, what he wants is to integrate our cultivation experiences. As long as we add your body, we will definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Unfortunately, your seven spirits haven't been vaporized yet. If you want to seize your body, you have to forcibly melt your soul, which may take me some effort, but in front of me with complete seven spirits, you don't have a chance to turn the tables.

"I wonder if you ever thought there would be a day like this when you killed me back then."

In fact, Du Jin said these words also under the influence of Guan Yi, and what he didn't say was that this secret technique also had another side that was beneficial to Ma En, which was also a backup plan left by Xiaoyao to ensure that his efforts wouldn't be in vain.

Ma En asked curiously:

"My body, does this have anything to do with you trying to kill me back then?"

Hearing Du Jin's words, he finally became a little worried, and even began to prepare to escape from here through teleportation, because if Xiaoyao was interested in his body, then he might be interested in the Abnormal Control Bureau that was connected to him.

If this was the case, then staying here to plot for anti-spirit metal manufacturing tools would be like walking into a trap.

Du Jin couldn't restrain himself and said:

"Of course, your Outer Dao Heavenly Demon Body is the best physique for cultivating the Xiaoyao Heavenly Demon Technique. As long as I can obtain it, I will immediately become a Tier V ability user that you barbarians from the Barren World dream of, and being able to become a stepping stone for a Nascent Soul cultivator can be considered bringing glory to your ancestors.

"And you've also seen that dying at my hands doesn't really mean that nothing is left, so don't make any unnecessary struggles. The moment you killed me, you personally dug your own grave."

But Du Jin didn't expect that when Ma En heard these words, he would instead show a relaxed expression.

He breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Revived, probably.
