Godslayer: A random filename extension?

“This person is a ruthless and vicious murderer among the believers. You, Instructor Yuan Gang, caught him for him. He has a long history of bloodshed. You can just stab him to death with your knife in a moment.”

"As for this one, he was originally Han Shaoyun, the captain of the night watchmen in Gusu City. He was enslaved by Yiyu through some kind of soul contract. I brought you here to ask if you have any way to break free from it."

"If possible, that would be best. If not, at least give him a quick death. His heart is already dead; living is torture for him."

Chen Muye briefly explained the situation of the two to Lin Linhou.

Lin Linhou nodded, indicating that he would give it a try...

Half a minute later, Si Mengqing's scan results for Han Shaoyun came out.

[There's a minor problem, but not much. He's suffering from severe cognitive impairment, and part of his soul is missing. Most importantly, the missing part has merged with the soul of another individual, ultimately forming a new entity.]

Si Mengqing basically analyzed the other party's so-called control contract principle.

It involves extracting a portion of a person's soul and then merging it with a portion of another person's soul.

This ultimately forms a master-slave contract that has a similar effect of cognitive rewriting.

However, if the part of the soul that has been polluted and merged is rashly removed, it will dissipate directly due to the incompleteness of the soul, meaning that Han Shaoyun will die immediately, just like a tall building suddenly losing its foundation.

The result of killing Yiyu is the same. Another part of Han Shaoyun's soul comes from Yiyu. Yiyu's death means that this part of the soul will dissipate, and Han Shaoyun will still die.

Furthermore, Han Shaoyun's soul has been affected and fused for too long, making separation very difficult.

[His soul is now like a clear broth hot pot, but a spoonful of spicy broth has been poured in and completely mixed in.]

Lin Linhou: ...What a vivid metaphor.

"How to solve?"

[There are solutions, of course. After all, it's just a simple master-servant contract. Although the effect is powerful, in other fantasy worlds, you could easily buy a whole bunch of them from any Beast Taming Sect or Joyful Union Sect.]

[Solution 1: Use a more powerful contract to override the effect, directly transferring Han Shaoyun's obedience target.]

[Method Two: Utilize overwhelming divine soul power to completely and precisely eliminate the foreign parts of Han Shaoyun's soul, then use certain spells, medicines, or magical artifacts to repair Han Shaoyun's soul.]

[Method Three: To completely isolate the influence of the contract, tear up the contract scroll or kill the contract's owner. In this way, Han Shaoyun's divine soul sovereignty will once again be undisturbed.]

[Of course, there are many other methods, but they are either too costly or too difficult to implement, so I won't go into detail.]

However, Si Mengqing then stated that nowadays, it is difficult to achieve even one, two, or three.

Currently, Lin Linhou's skill list does not include any contract-related abilities.

The second requirement would require Lin Linhou's spiritual realm to surpass Han Shaoyun's by at least one major realm.

The third option is possible; she can now construct a space that completely shields the contract's influence. But how do you take the contract book or scroll from the whispering voice, or simply kill the other party?

Based on current intelligence, the opponent is likely a powerhouse at the level of Klein.

Lin Linhou: ...

Lin Linhou sorted out his thoughts and told Chen Muye about Si Mengqing's result.

"That means it can be resolved, but due to limitations in strength, you can't do it at this stage."

Chen Muye had also expected this result; it was neither good nor bad.

Then, Lin Linhou was asked to try severing the influence of the contract first, as he wanted to talk to the real Han Shaoyun himself.

Lin Linhou nodded and instructed Si Mengqing to activate the shielding field.

[Domain space construction, all communication interference severed.]

[Special Target: Han Shaoyun, Soul Locked On, Negative Interference Status Shielded.]

[alright.]

"Alright, Captain Chen, he has recovered for now."

……

Just after Lin Linhou activated the shield, the whispers from afar suddenly sensed something.

Let's forget about the other one; Han Shaoyun is dead too?

"So they ultimately chose to kill him? I thought they would lock him up in a fasting place again."

"Interesting. It seems that not all Night's Watchmen are pedantic."

After all, ordinary people, or criminals whose crimes don't warrant death, are simply arrested and imprisoned.

But what about criminals with superpowers, or even thugs whose crimes are inherently murderous? After they are caught, are they not executed, but instead imprisoned in a fasting center?

Do we really expect these villains to repent? Is that fair to the innocent victims who died?

Furthermore, at this level, the excuse of preventing perpetrators from having no way out and endangering more lives before being caught is no longer valid.

Kidnappers and rapists are not sentenced to death, which can be excused by concerns about the safety of hostages.

But a murderer's purpose is to kill. Whether you sentence him to death or not, he will still kill. In fact, he will kill with even more joy and without any scruples.

Just like those who attacked Baili Pangpang earlier, some of them were released from the fasting center or escaped.

Once a murderer is released from prison, he will definitely continue to kill, and he will kill with even more peace of mind and with more skill.

This was an inevitable outcome.

If this is true for ordinary people, how much more so for the criminals in the fasting camps, who are all "people of the motherland" in the ordinary world.

For example, right now, the babbling is planning to release all the prisoners from the fasting place.

I originally thought that these two important pawns would just go to the fasting center for a while, and then they would be able to sneak out and continue to do things for me after a while.

I didn't expect them to actually kill me?

……

On the other side, Han Shaoyun felt a sense of lightness throughout his body, and his thoughts became inexplicably clear. All sorts of ideas and confusion in his mind slowly faded away.

Lin Linhou and Chen Muye did not hide their conversation from others, so he understood that he had temporarily escaped the control of his delirium.

But so what?

When all these effects fade away, what awaits him is not relief, but even greater sorrow, regret, despair, and even a loss of will to live.

"Thank you, but there's no need to trouble yourself. Even if I can completely break free from the control of delirium in the future, I will commit suicide immediately."

Han Shaoyun's eyes were lifeless. He remembered all the murders he had committed over the years, the tens of millions of innocent people who had died at his hands, and the tragic scene when his team members sacrificed their lives.

"No, I understand how you feel, and I don't mean to persuade you not to die. I just want to ask for more information about the delirium."

Chen Muye immediately said, "I never said I wanted to tell you to be strong."

Your decision to commit suicide is your business, I understand and support you. I'm just here to ask for information.

"Now that you are no longer controlled by your delirium, before you die for love and righteousness and atone for your sins, please tell me more information first."

Han Shaoyun: ...
