Once encountered, eliminate it.
This was the warning given in the Immortal Method Records.
At the same time, this explained why there had been no news of the Evil Spirit after the Second Primordial War.
Ye Ming looked at the frail girl lying on the bed, lost in deep thought.
He had already witnessed the horror of the source of evil. If it truly reached the point of backlash, few people in A'in's world would be able to withstand it.
The bloody examples recorded in the Immortal Method Records were constant reminders that he had to kill her.
Not only that, but A'in's existence had the potential to cause him immense trouble in his future endeavors.
From any perspective, Ye Ming had no reason to spare A'in.
"Are you planning to kill me?"
At some point, A'in had already woken up. Ye Ming had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed.
The current A'in was not as panicked as when she had first met Ye Ming. Instead, she was surprisingly quiet.
Her eyes showed almost no ripple.
It seemed that Ye Ming's previous suppression of the source of evil had temporarily stabilized A'in's emotions.
"How did you know?"
Ye Ming did not turn around, still facing away from her, his tone indifferent.
"Hehehe!"
A'in chuckled twice, then looked at the ceiling, her eyes still calm as water. "Because I am too familiar with this killing intent!"
She murmured, "When I was little, my parents abandoned me! When I was a few years older, the people in my village wanted to kill me! As I grew up, people I interacted with also wanted to kill me! Unfortunately..." At this point, A'in turned her head, looking at Ye Ming's profile, and smiled self-deprecatingly. "They all died!"
"And now, you want to kill me too!"
After saying this, the starlight in A'in's eyes seemed to dim. "Tell me, am I truly deserving of death?"
Do I deserve to die?
The past A'in had also asked herself this question. She had also given up resistance and chosen to end her own life.
But in the end, she found that this cruel fate had still allowed her to live.
And the person who saved her had died because of it!
Every time she thought of this, A'in always felt how ridiculous and pathetic she was!
Since she had been allowed to live, what was the meaning of her existence?
Was it merely to cause more people to die because of her?
"It's better now! I have a premonition! If it's you who kills me, no one will be able to save me!"
When A'in said this, there was no sorrow or fear, only release.
For her, this was liberation in the truest sense.
"If I kill you, will you... hate me?"
Ye Ming still did not turn his head to look at A'in, and his voice clearly trembled.
"Are you... pitying me! You can't bring yourself to do it?"
A'in did not answer Ye Ming's question, but rather heard the subtle tremor in his voice.
Ye Ming remained silent.
He was silent!
"Hahaha! Someone actually pities me!"
A'in laughed, her laughter even bordering on madness. "Is this heaven's mockery of me?"
At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly turned around, placed his hands on A'in's shoulders, and stared intently into her eyes, growling, "If I kill you, will you hate me?"
Ye Ming's eyes were even bloodshot at this moment.
This time, A'in was a little stunned.
She didn't understand why the man in front of her had suddenly... become enraged.
Nor did she understand why he was looking at her like this.
She could even see a hint of indignation in his eyes.
These were things A'in had never seen in anyone else's eyes before.
If he really killed me, would I hate him?
Isn't this a release for me?
Why would I hate him?
A'in thought this and prepared to answer accordingly.
But for some reason, she felt that something was missing in her heart.
But this was already... not important.
It should no longer be important!
"I... don't... hate... you!"
A'in clearly enunciated each word.
Having said this, she should be able to find release.
However, upon hearing this, Ye Ming froze on the spot.
Then, he gently raised his hand and stroked A'in's small face.
At some point, A'in's face had become wet with tears.
When Ye Ming touched it, a cold sensation entered his palm.
"Since you don't hate me, why are you crying?"
At this moment, A'in's vision had already blurred.
"Alas! How... how strange, why am I crying? How... strange!" A'in kept wiping away her tears with her hands.
But no matter how desperately she tried to stop the tears from flowing, the tears in her eyes were like a bursting dam, and they simply wouldn't stop.
"No... no! Why? I should feel relieved, I should feel happy, I should thank you, but why..."
"Ah... woo woo woo!"
With a mournful cry, A'in's emotions completely broke down.
She didn't know why she felt sad.
Only at this moment, the missing piece in her heart seemed to become more important.
Seeing the helpless girl before him, Ye Ming's heart felt as if it had been pierced, experiencing an unprecedented sorrow.
"It shouldn't be like this!"
Ye Ming clenched his fists, his eyes burning with furious anger. "A'in's life cannot end here."
At this moment, a massive white energy suddenly emanated from Ye Ming.
Pure!
Holy!
"Fine, I'd like to see what this damned fate can do to me!"
Then, this energy began to spread outwards, engulfing the two of them and isolating them from the outside world.
"Wuchen World! Activate!"
Slowly, the surrounding scenery began to disappear, and all darkness was swallowed. In the end, only a white world remained.
Tranquil!
Peaceful!
Mindless!
Dustless!
Everything in the mortal world would be purified here.
When A'in slowly regained her senses, she felt an unprecedented warmth enveloping her.
"Is... is this heaven?"
A'in's eyes were still a little dazed, and she murmured, "With my sins, shouldn't I be going to hell?"
At this moment, she hadn't noticed that she was in someone's arms.
"Are you feeling better now?"
At this moment, a gentle voice entered her ears.
Hearing this, A'in finally realized her situation.
"I... why am I in your arms!"
A'in looked down and saw that the other person's arms were still around her.
"What happened?"
She didn't struggle, her mood was surprisingly calm.
It seemed that in this place, everything she was troubled by was being diluted.
The scars left by past experiences were also being slowly smoothed away.
"Don't worry, I brought you here because I want to help you find something!" Ye Ming explained.
"Something? What thing?"
A'in didn't know what he was referring to.
Ye Ming gently stroked her small head and said softly, "The meaning of your existence!"
