Chapter 1761 Every single time!
The fox-man's dry laughter, like an electric drill, slowly penetrated into the ears of everyone present.
Seemingly engrossed in the conversation, Smir showed no sign of stopping.
Turning to look at Oink, who was frantically searching not far away, he continued his rambling:
"Hey, you pig, yes, I'm calling you."
"Your name is... Oink, right?"
"Haha...I remember you have children, I think you have two, right?"
"One of them can already talk; he's a very energetic little guy."
"What... what did you say?!" Oink paused in his rummaging and mechanically turned around.
His eyes were bloodshot from emotional distress, and his usually kind face was filled with fear.
"What did you just say? Say it again!"
"Where are my children? And where is my nephew, Xiao Xuan?!"
“Look.” Smir patted his stomach, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, a look of relish on his face:
"Of course it's inside my belly."
"Thump." Oink's knees buckled, and he completely lost the strength to stand, collapsing to his knees.
His chest heaved like a broken bellows, and his face was deathly pale.
Smir's voice continued:
"So that older child is your nephew?"
"No wonder, I had no recollection of that sow ever having piglets before. It turns out I was mistaken."
"But it's okay, they're all pigs anyway, just a few years apart, it's not a big difference."
"Oh, by the way, when they later kidnapped that sow, ah, that is, your wife."
"When she found out I was going to use your child to make soup, she kept crying and begging me to spare her child."
"She also said that as long as I keep my promise and ensure that the piglet lives, she is willing to do anything."
"I said yes."
Hearing this, Oink felt a glimmer of hope, and immediately looked up:
"So where are my children? Where are my children?!"
"Don't be so hasty, you idiot, let me finish." Smir's lips curled into a sneer, his smile utterly contemptuous.
Aren't you curious about what your wife promised me?
Oink's face grew increasingly pale, and even his nose trembled slightly, driven by his lips.
"Oh, I have only two requirements for food: one is nutrition, and the other is freshness."
"I originally made soup and stewed your baby for nutrition."
"Since the sow wasn't willing, I could only do it for the novelty."
"So she promised me that she would slice off pieces of her own flesh, one by one, to make hot pot for me!"
"That taste, um...it was so delicious it made my eyebrows fall off! Hahaha..."
"Of course, I also had some of the soup at the end, and it tasted really good!"
The crowd of onlookers in Palu fell into a deathly silence.
It was as if even breathing had stopped at that moment.
Ma Han felt as if something was blocking his chest, and he felt so suffocated that he felt like he was about to explode.
The atmosphere was suffocating.
Just then, a question suddenly came from afar, breaking the current stalemate.
"I didn't realize you were such a foodie... What's so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall off?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Nikita approaching with Lin Cheng.
The two clearly hadn't heard what Smir had said earlier; otherwise, given Nikita's fiery temper, he wouldn't have been in the mood for jokes at this point and would have already lashed Smir across the face with a whip!
Xu Xiao's expression remained unchanged, revealing nothing of her inner turmoil.
Before Smir could respond to Nikita, she spoke first:
"Oh, nothing."
"Let's not waste any more time. Since they're all here, let's bring them back to life as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope immediately appeared in the gloomy eyes of the crowd of Palu.
The pig-man Oink, like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, crawled to his knees before Xu Xiao, repeatedly kowtowing and saying:
"Sir, I beg the Chosen One!"
"Please, please save them...please, please save them!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring everyone back, I promise not a single one will be missing." Xu Xiao used his mental power to lift Oink up and took half a step forward.
White thorns, forged from the power of authority, sprouted rampantly from her body.
Just like the resurrected corpses before, it spread rapidly towards the mountain of bones.
The white thorns intertwined and wove into a net, like a pair of large hands gently enveloping the wound.
The power of authority came into play quickly.
The woman frowned slightly.
The entire process of reviving the Palu people did not encounter any obstacles.
It involves the remodeling of flesh and blood, which takes longer than before.
Moreover, the further he went, the more pained Xu Xiao's expression became.
In the end, he couldn't even hold on any longer and knelt down on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Nikita instinctively reached out to help Xu Xiao up.
But as soon as his hand touched the woman's arm, he screamed and quickly pulled it back as if he had been electrocuted.
"Ouch! That hurts..."
"What's going on with you..." Lin Cheng couldn't help but scold him when he saw this.
Xu Xiao is currently using his authority to save people!
At such a crucial moment, Nikita is still so unreliable...
That's really going too far!
however,
This thought did not linger in Lin Cheng's mind for long before it was quickly dispelled by a piercing pain!
The reason was that his hand also touched Xu Xiao's arm.
That's right,
When Lin Cheng saw that Nikita was unable to help Xu Xiao up, he instinctively stepped forward to help.
When he reached out, he realized he had completely misunderstood Nikita!
"What's going on?"
Lin Cheng stared at his palm in disbelief, unable to figure it out for a long time.
He tried touching Xu Xiao again.
The pain came quickly and showed no signs of abating; in fact, it became three times stronger than before.
"Why does it hurt so much when I touch her?" Lin Cheng looked bewildered, completely at a loss.
"Not only my hands hurt... my whole body aches..."
Instead of receiving a reply, they were chased away by Xu Xiao:
"Stay away from me, don't touch me!"
Lin Cheng and the others looked at each other, not understanding what he meant, but still subconsciously took a step back.
Only Ma Han, with a complicated expression, took half a step closer to the woman.
"Those who repay evil with good will suffer the pain of others and bear the karmic burdens of others."
"Great power always comes at a great price."
"When the squad leader uses his authority of 'leniency' to save someone, he will also suffer the pain that the other person felt when they died."
"You mean that every time the Virgin Mary resurrects someone, she is actually experiencing what it felt like when that person died?" Nikita asked, her face full of shock.
"Yes." Ma Han nodded slightly and extended his right hand.
"Every single time?" Lin Cheng asked, his face filled with disbelief.
“Every single time.” Ma Han nodded again, adding:
"But most of the time, authority will wear down this painful memory."
"So the class monitor will forget about it afterward."
"But when she experiences it again, the pain accumulates, and she will recall it."
