I used a little more force.

Norlinxi's hands seemed to have been severed, and his other hand was similarly slashed open. Shattered galaxies surged from his body, power and soul intertwined. So be it, let more souls tell me...

"...Please tell me, please tell me...who can help my child from the past, so that she can return safely..."

"...I'll do it..."

The soul responded, and the person in despair raised their head, as if seeing their own light in the empty darkness.

"Please bring her back, and whatever the cost, I'll give you everything..."

"Your child will kill you in the future, will end your life, will want you to come with us. Even so, would you still be willing to give everything you can to save them?"

"...I am willing not to be a continuation of my life, but an independent individual, a beautiful hope, a child with his own life, and not a copy of me...I believe that child can do everything well, that child can have happiness, so I am willing to pay any price."

"...I can tell them, but they might not believe me. That's normal. Not everyone will believe the words of the dead. Even so, are you willing to do that?"

Norlinshi nodded. So what should be done?

"More souls allow me to temporarily get closer to reality..."

The abrupt end of the words confirmed everything. Where were they going to cut me with the knife? Were they going to cut off my head?

The knife in my hand wasn't trembling, it shouldn't be trembling, so why would it be trembling? Why am I afraid?

Yes, it's not frightening; a beautiful knife is aimed at the heart, forcefully piercing the soul.

What flowed from my heart was a dazzling galaxy, its brilliance even more beautiful than before. My chest felt empty; my heart was dead…

Norlinxi belatedly realized all this when the undead came closer and ate it with both hands.

Is this enough? Is this enough? Is this power sufficient?

"I'll help you finish it. Go back first."

"..."

He opened his eyes but remained kneeling. Blood continued to flow from his hands, and for some reason, blood was also flowing from his chest. The other person just stood there quietly, unsure of how to react.

“You’re back, I can feel it.”

“It’s nothing serious. I’ve found a way. I want to ask you a question, a question I’ve wanted to ask for a long time. I need your answer to this question now, and it can’t be changed or regretted.”

Norlinxi's wound stopped bleeding quickly. He stood up, looking taller and taller, staring intently into the other person's eyes, earnestly hoping for a response.

"Teacher, please speak... No matter what the question is, I will give an answer, and it will definitely be the answer in my heart."

He didn't want to lie too much in his later life, especially in front of his closest teachers.

"If... after I die, my child truly loves you, would you be willing to do anything to make my child happy? Would you be willing to give everything so that my child will no longer suffer?! Even your life!"
