“No sooner said than done.”
Furthermore, Frank’s breathing was growing gradually weaker.
If he delayed any longer, it might really be too late!
Lord carried the dying Frank in one hand, with Nemu following closely behind, and the two of them arrived at the secret space beneath Seireitei Pavilion.
Before officially making Frank a Shinigami, he still needed to ask for Frank’s own opinion.
If he was unwilling, then naturally he would not force it!
Since he was in his physical body state, his Zanpakuto transformed into a cane, with a Shinigami symbol imprinted on the bottom.
This thing had only one use, which was to push a living person’s Soul out of the body.
In the original work, Rukia and Kisuke Urahara had once used this method to help the protagonist Kurosaki ichigo escape his physical body state.
Supporting Frank, who was already at his last gasp, Lord raised the cane, aimed it at his forehead, and then poked it hard!
“Pop—”
A slightly transparent Frank was instantly pushed out of his body by his cane, with a long chain still attached to his chest!
“Yo!”
Lord rested both hands on the cane and smiled gently, “Frank, how do you feel now?”
“Huff, huff—”
Frank knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, his face Pale, “Why does my breathing feel so difficult!”
“Normal.”
Lord smiled faintly, “After a living person’s Soul leaves the physical body, feeling difficulty in breathing is a very normal thing, no need to panic.”
Living person?
Soul?
Physical body?
“What do you mean?”
Frank had a blank look on his face, utterly unable to understand the meaning of this string of vocabulary.
“It means—”
Lord pointed his cane to the side, “You are already dead, Frank.”
“I’m dead?”
Frank looked in the direction pointed by the cane, his pupils instantly shrinking to the size of needle tips, “Wait, Lord, is that my corpse?”
“Not yet.”
Lord glanced at it and said, “However, it will be in a moment.”
From the very moment the Soul left the physical body, the physical body’s “Death” time would fall into stagnation.
Counting from now, it would probably take about one or two hours for Frank’s physical body to completely die!
“I’m dead?”
Frank’s face was as Pale as paper, his thick lips trembling slightly, and a trace of pain and darkness revealed in his pupils, “Can’t even you save me?”
Under the man’s gaze filled with a last glimmer of hope, Lord silently shook his head:
“No.”
“The injuries you suffered are too heavy and have already become irreversible. I am very sorry, Frank.”
The last trace of hope remaining in the man’s eyes also disappeared with these words.
“Heh—”
He was dead.
But the enemies who murdered his wife and children were still at large today, enjoying a life of debauchery, beneath one person but above ten thousand people.
He hated!
He hated his own powerlessness, hated the injustice of the law and the government, and hated this absurd World even more!
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Frank punched the ground, emitting a hoarse and frantic roar, wantously venting the resentment and dissatisfaction in his chest!
“Cough cough, let me interrupt.”
Lord spoke up at the right time, saying, “Actually, there is another way that can let you live on in another form, I just don’t know if you are willing.”
“What?!”
Upon hearing Lord say there was still a way to let him live, Frank immediately widened his eyes and said impatiently, “What way? No matter what price I have to pay, I am willing!”
“Including your Soul?”
“This—”
Frank hesitated.
In the Western World, whenever anything mentioned taking the Soul as a price, it was basically definitely a demon!
And in Frank’s view, since Lord mentioned his Soul, there was a high probability that he might also be a demon!
And after calming down, Frank discovered a problem: since he was now in a Soul state, how was Lord able to see him?
This was definitely a demon without a doubt!
But so what if he was a demon?
When his wife and children died tragically, when had God ever pitied them?
When he pinned his hopes on the law, when had the government ever been fair?
Never!
Never!
Never!
Since that was the case—
Rather than that, he might as well fall into Hell.
Even if he had to pay with his Soul, he would still take revenge for his deceased wife and children!
“Including my Soul!”
Without a trace of hesitation, Frank made a prompt decision and said, “As long as you can let me take revenge, whether it’s my Soul or my life, you can take them all!”
“Very good, Frank.”
Lord nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself that as expected of the person he had taken a fancy to, “Since you have agreed, there are a few things I need to tell you.”
“Are we going to sign a contract?”
“Contract?”
“Yeah, the kind demons often use, a piece of parchment burning with flames, with a bunch of deceitful bullshit written inside.”
“…”
Lord looked at Frank speechlessly, “Frank, I’m very curious, how did you connect me with a demon?”
Frank: “TV shows are all acted like that, demons will take human Souls as a price.”
“Frank, watch fewer TV shows.”
“I am not a demon, nor do I want your Soul.”
“No problem, demon.”
Frank’s entire face was written with an expression of’say whatever you want, I will definitely not believe it’: “So how do you plan to resurrect me? Are you going to turn me into a demon too?” This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
“Forget it.”
Lord couldn’t be bothered to explain to him, “Lower your head, did you see the chain on your chest?”
Only then did Frank notice that a chain extended from his chest, connecting him to his physical body.
“Clang—”
Frank tugged on the chain and frowned, “It’s quite sturdy. What is this used for?”
“Chain of Karma.”
Lord said, “It is a chain used to connect the Soul and the physical body. Once the chain breaks, you will completely die.”
“Oh—”
Frank didn’t pay much attention, “Compared to these things, I care more about how you are going to resurrect me?”
A trace of a strange smile appeared on Lord’s face, “Frank, I never said I was going to resurrect you.”
“What?”
Just as Frank wanted to say something, a flash of cold light suddenly swept before his eyes!
“Clang!”
With a crisp sound and splashing sparks, Frank saw the chain on his chest being cut off by a sharp blade!
“!!!”
Frank’s pupils dilated violently.
He remembered very clearly that Lord had just said this chain was connected to the physical body, and once the chain broke, he would never be able to be resurrected again!
“Alright.”
Lord said leisurely, “Now, you can completely no longer be resurrected, Frank.”
“Fuck you!”
Blue veins bulged on Frank’s forehead, and he roared, “What on earth are you doing? Demon!”
“As you can see.”
Lord said faintly, “I severed the connection between you and your physical body.”
“Lord!”
Frank’s face twisted slightly with anger, and he said through gritted teeth, “Bastard! To think I trusted you so much, yet you actually still deceived me!”
“Calm down, Frank.”
Lord said, “The definition of living does not necessarily mean living on in human form; there are other ways to achieve it.”
“Heh heh.”
“So, you plan to turn me into a demon?”
“Of course not.”
Lord shook his head, having no intention of explaining to him, and continued, “If you want to live and possess the power for revenge, it’s best not to ask so many questions.”
Coming from a military background, Frank inherited the fine traditions of a soldier.
After being silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice, “No problem, even if I turn into a demon, I must live on!”
“Very good, a decent realization.”
Lord said, “Rather than talking with my mouth, I feel it’s better to let you experience it personally.”
Instead of wasting breath explaining to Frank, Lord felt it was better to just take action directly; that would be much simpler!
“Very good!”
Frank obviously didn’t like tedious explanations either, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, he said, “I like things simple. Tell me, what do I need to do?”
