Chapter 87
87 Chapter 87 pacifying the soul
Perhaps it was because the spider was a creature from another world, but even though it had been dead for a few days, its body did not rot at all, even though it was soaked in water. The entire body of the spider was as hard as cement. After turning black, it showed a strange trend of hardening and hardening.
Although it was a corpse, the demonic fire spider’s ferocious appearance was still very frightening.
Xia Pingan first jumped into the mud in the river and rolled two times, making himself look a little disheveled. Then, he cut off the huge head of the demon Fire Spider bit by bit. Carrying the ugly and ferocious head of the demon Fire Spider that weighed 70 to 80 kilograms, he walked along the river and headed to the nearest town.
Half an hour later, Xia Pingan drilled out of the reeds by the river, which startled a few soldiers who were standing guard on the roadside.
The soldiers with guns were dumbfounded when they saw Xia ping ‘an come out alone with the head of a demonic fire Spider.
“Who are you?” The guns in the soldiers ‘hands were already pointed at Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan’s appearance was really scary. Xia ping ‘an grinned at the soldiers, revealing his white teeth. I’m Xia ping’ an, the summoner of the demon-suppressing camp in Yizhou. I just came back from a mission. By the way, how do I get to the military control Committee? I need to report to them!
……
At noon, Xia Pingan changed into a clean military camouflage uniform without any military rank. He sat in a military off-road vehicle and crossed half of xinchuan city before being sent to xinchuan Stadium by an officer from the military management Committee.
The huge xinchuan Stadium was the city’s landmark. It was shaped like a huge shell and was the largest single building in the entire xinchuan city. At this moment, the stadium and the surrounding square had been requisitioned by the military to become a huge military camp.
Around the stadium, tanks and soldiers were busy coming and going everywhere, and the atmosphere was somber.
Xia Pingan was actually a little dumbfounded. He had only wanted to return to the Army and earn 10 more military work points, but he had just reported to the military management Committee, taken a shower, and changed his clothes when a major appeared in front of him. He said that general Tang Guofeng wanted to see him, and then brought Xia Pingan here.
Yizhou province was currently under military control, and general Tang Guofeng was the chairman of the military control Committee. He was the most powerful man in Yizhou province. Xia Pingan was a little confused as to why Tang Guofeng wanted to see him.
He was just a new Summoner and wasn’t that famous. In the eyes of people like Tang Guofeng, he shouldn’t be considered a rare talent, right?
Could it be that what he had done last night had been discovered?
That’s impossible!
If that matter was discovered, it would be the military police and the law enforcement team who would come to find him.
Xia Pingan had such doubts until he was brought into the stadium. When he saw the scene inside the stadium, he vaguely guessed the answer.
In the huge Stadium, on the ground, on the running track, and on the lawn, there were many bodies covered with white cloth.
All the corpses were laid on the ground in rows and columns. Not a single hair was out of place, like pieces of white mosaic embedded in the ground, full of the style of a soldier.
The atmosphere outside the stadium was noisy and restless, but inside the stadium, the atmosphere was depressed and sad, as if the air was about to freeze.
Among those bodies, there was an old man in a military uniform with two stars on his shoulders. He was not wearing a hat, revealing his white hair and black knife-like eyebrows.
The military officers just stood aside and watched.
Countless armed soldiers were standing around the stadium.
The old man was walking among the bodies. He lowered his head and used a pained gaze to sweep over the cold bodies on the ground.
Occasionally, the old man would squat down and gently brush off the dust and blood stains on those young faces. He would close those eyes which had lost their brilliance and tidy up those people’s military uniforms and looks for the last time.
Death was not peaceful. It was filled with pain, fear, suppression, struggle, and even despair. Even soldiers could not avoid it.
The faces and bodies of the corpses on the ground carried the physical and mental feelings of their victims at the last moment.
The stadium was completely silent.
The soldiers standing in the stadium were like javelins nailed to the ground, their expressions solemn and stirring.
general, we’ve brought him here. the major immediately brought Xia Pingan to Tang Guofeng.
Tang Guofeng tidied up the collar Badge of one of the sacrificed people on the ground before standing up and looking at Xia Pingan.
There were two reasons why Tang Guofeng decided to meet Xia Pingan. One was that he heard that Xia Pingan had killed a Demon Fire Spider by himself and brought its head to the military administration, which caused a sensation. He felt that this young Summoner was quite interesting.
The summoners of the Yizhou demon guard who had stayed in xinchuan had either suffered heavy casualties in the battle two days ago or had not returned to the team for various reasons. Xia Pingan was the first person to return after completing his mission.
The second reason why Tang Guofeng wanted to see Xia Pingan was that he needed a Summoner with a soul-soothing armor. The priest of the 87th Division had been stationed in the barracks for the 15th day and night. Unfortunately, he had died in the explosion of a fiery meteorite. The huge fiery meteorite had turned the surrounding 1000 meters into scorched earth, and even the summoner was not spared.
The few Summoners with Requiem flags that the order Committee had previously stationed in xinchuan were either not in xinchuan at the moment and had yet to return from their missions outside, or were seriously injured in the hospital.
At this moment, there was no longer a standing Summoner who had a soul soothing banner in Shinagawa.
It just so happened that Xia Pingan came to report at this time. When the military control Committee checked Xia Pingan’s information in the order committee’s files, they found out that Xia Pingan actually had a Requiem flag. The appearance of such a person at this time was simply a timely help.
The officers below immediately reported to him, and Tang Guofeng called Xia Pingan over.
As soon as he saw Xia Pingan’s face, Tang Guofeng’s first impression of Xia Pingan was that he was younger than he had imagined. At the same time, Tang Guofeng also felt a deep aura from Xia Pingan that was not possessed by a young man of his age.
Tang Guofeng was well aware of the demonic fire spider’s combat power. He admired Xia Pingan’s ability to use the river to kill a demonic fire Spider by himself.
“4878!” Tang Guofeng said a number to Xia Pingan in a slightly hoarse voice. Tang Guofeng’s voice was very unique, as if there was a Golden Drum in his chest. His voice was not loud, but it was not angry, but it exuded a sense of power and killing intent.
they are the most loyal and brave soldiers of the Republic. Some of them are from the rebel division, and some of them are from the 87th Division. For the sake of this city, they have all sacrificed themselves in just a few days of fighting. They deserve the most honorable treatment. You should know why I called you here!
“I know, this is what I should do!” Xia Pingan nodded.
“Then I’ll leave ran ran to you!” Tang Guofeng gave Xia Pingan a military salute.
Xia ping ‘an did not say anything more. He just nodded and waved his hand. The soul-pacifying banner appeared in his hand. As soon as the soul-pacifying banner appeared and Xia ping’ an injected his divine power into it, a mysterious aura spread out like ripples and slowly enveloped the entire Stadium.
The soul-pacifying banner in Xia Pingan’s hand moved on its own without any wind, emitting a black and yellow light. The light was like a huge umbrella that gradually grew larger in the stadium. As the umbrella rotated, the shadow of the banner fluttered and gradually covered all the bodies of the deceased in the stadium.
The basic divine power consumption for summoning a soul-pacifying banner was 8 points. The soul-pacifying banner could pacify the souls of 50 people at a time. On this basis, every time the number of people who needed to be pacified doubled, the divine power consumed by the soul-pacifying banner would increase by 8 points.
-100 people need 16 divine power, 200 people need 24 divine power, 400 people need 32 divine power, and so on.
This was the first time that Xia ping ‘an had used up so much divine power. After putting in 64 points of divine power, the soul-soothing flag glowed brightly, and rays of light shone on the bodies of those who had been sacrificed.
Xia Pingan took the soul-soothing banner and walked past the bodies of the deceased. Wherever the soul-soothing banner went, the faces of the bodies on the ground gradually became peaceful and calm, as if they were sleeping.
The pain was no longer the pain, the fear was no longer the fear, the longing was no longer the longing, and the horror was no longer the horror.
Even the various wounds on the corpses gradually contracted.
Those bodies that had already begun to show purple and black colors seemed to have been washed again, and the color returned to normal.
It was not that Tang Guofeng had never seen the appearance of the Requiem banner before. Different Summoners would have different phenomena when they used the Requiem banner. However, the effect and power of the Requiem banner used by Xia Pingan seemed to be very different from those he had seen before. The phenomena were too strange, and the changes in the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were too obvious.
As Xia ping ‘an walked past the corpses with the soul-pacifying banner, a melodious and ancient voice could be faintly heard inside the banner, singing a soul-pacifying song in a tone that had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
“The heaven is kind, and the body is smooth. It was difficult to distinguish between them, floating and sinking repeatedly. Returning to the ancestral nature, deep and profound creation. Wood draws gold, gold leaves wood, and invades each other. He transformed into a wandering soul and entered his heart. It was hard to find traces of him in the dark. Showing something out of nothing, penetrating through the past and present. The soul triumphs over the soul, ghosts and gods worship, and when you enter the heavenly realm, you can calm Qianqian.”
……
Xia Pingan walked around the stadium once, using the light and shadow of the Requiem flag to brush over each body. It took more than an hour to complete the huge Requiem ceremony for 4878 soldiers.
When the ceremony was completed, the moment Xia Pingan put away the soul-pacifying banner, a golden light suddenly appeared in the stadium. Light spots flew out from the bodies and merged with the golden light. They soared into the sky and disappeared into the blue sky in a flash, as if they had entered heaven.
Tang Guofeng raised his head and looked at the golden light that had disappeared into the sky. He could not hide the emotions on his face. This was the first time he had seen such an unusual Requiem.
All the fighters in the stadium raised their heads and watched that golden light flying into the sky, then at the corpses of their comrades-in-arms who looked calm and peaceful as if they had fallen asleep. As a result, their solemn looks had become pious. Many fighters even shed tears at this moment.
