Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 811: Zhong Yu’s Love

The originally bustling village in Xiuzhu Prefecture suddenly fell silent.

The flower pythons that had been perched on the bamboo roofs peered down curiously. When they saw that all the Golden Corpses were being controlled by the same person, they immediately slithered away towards the deepest part of the village.

Beside the huge bonfire, Zhong Yu looked at Lianyi questioningly.

Hope rose in Zard’s eyes. If the Red Heart Gu really worked, wouldn’t it have saved a whole village of people? No matter how it was done, the important thing now was to contain Zhong Yu. Otherwise, if this demon were released, the whole world would be in chaos.

However, Zhong Yu’s reaction seemed different from what everyone had imagined.

He muttered to himself, “Why do I have this inexplicable emotion? In this world, the only person I care about is Xiaoyu, not you… My unwillingness to hurt you is someone telling me that I shouldn’t be unfeeling.”

Everyone was stunned.

When Lianyi fed Zhong Yu the Red Heart Gu, he was unconscious and could not have known of its existence.

But now, Zhong Yu clearly sensed something. He already knew that all this was caused by external forces!

Zhong Yu’s mental will had broken through the shackles of rules with the darkest emotions in the world, almost touching the critical point of merging with the world.

Even someone calling his name in this world could be perceived by him.

Such a being who had been dormant for an unknown amount of time, how could he not sense the Red Heart Gu?!

The next moment, a huge crimson hand materialized before Zhong Yu. A dark red phantom suddenly pierced through his body, grasping something.

As it pulled, a streak of red energy twisted within his body, but the crimson hand forcibly pulled it out.

Zhong Yu’s eyes widened in pain, his gaze unfocused as he looked at the night sky. His eyes were darker and deeper than the night.

The crimson hand continued to pull, and the Lian Tribe people watched in horror as this ‘pervert’ tried to separate the Red Heart Gu from himself.

This scene was terrifying. It was the first time they had seen someone do this, even breaking apart the energy of the Red Heart Gu.

However, the Red Heart Gu, which Lianyi had nurtured with 12 years of painstaking effort and daily feeding, was far more tenacious than imagined.

As the pulling continued, Zhong Yu’s soul seemed to be pulled out. Three phantoms appeared outside his body: the first was himself with purely black eyes, the second was an adult Dayu with closed eyes, asleep, and the third was young Xiaoyu, small and thin, with tear-filled eyes that could not open.

These phantoms appeared out of thin air before Zhong Yu, almost separating under the pull of the crimson hand.

Zard shouted, “No, if you forcibly pull out their spiritual wills, they will have nowhere to go, they will die!”

But Zard was overthinking it. The three spiritual wills were already intertwined and could not be separated, and Zhong Yu could not do it either.

With a loud bang, dark red lights scattered all over the sky, and the three phantoms flew back into Huan Yu’s body.

Zhong Yu gasped, “Interesting little thing… It can’t be separated?”

The Lian Tribe people were all stunned. Everything he had shown had completely exceeded their understanding of the world.

Someone could really be so cruel!

Zhong Yu pondered for a moment, “I can feel that the inexplicable energy is entangled not only with me, but also with you. When one of the energies dissipates, the other will absorb all the energy. In other words, I cannot kill you. What a nuisance, to wake up to such a burden.”

Zhong Yu mused, “I also have to guard against you committing suicide to destroy me. Not only that, I also have to guard against someone killing you… This will become my biggest weakness. Therefore, I can’t make you into a zombie or a wax figure, I have to make you into a ren zhi and keep you by my side. Such a burden.”

But the next moment, Zhong Yu laughed nervously, “I never thought that one day I would be able to feel such a superfluous emotion as love. But when I think of making you into a work of art and keeping you by my side forever, I feel a thrill.”

Everyone’s breath caught in their throats.

Zhong Yu’s words were too bloody and cruel. They couldn’t understand how terrifying the love of a pervert could be.

Love is ethereal. How many people have turned from love to hate, how many people have loved yet parted, how many have betrayed their lovers. Love is never an impregnable shackle.

For the Lian Tribe people, love is the most precious thing. They don’t want to be hurt while giving their all, so they created something like the Red Heart Gu.

But they didn’t know that there is a kind of love in this world that takes pleasure in hurting others.

For example, Zhong Yu.

Taking advantage of Zhong Yu’s contemplation on love, Zard immediately whispered to Lian Xin beside him, “Run, as far as you can. Run to the Forbidden Zone, to the ends of the earth, just don’t come back. I’m sorry, I can’t save everyone, I can only save you.”

“What about you?” Lian Xin asked.

Zard grinned, “I’ve been prepared for this.”

Lian Xin stared blankly at Zard. She felt that the previous madman had disappeared, replaced by a real Zard, the person within him. He had been wearing the armor of a madman to fight against the world, and now he was finally standing up to charge for another person.

He didn’t even have the Red Heart Gu in his body.

Only at this moment did Lian Xin understand one thing: the love brought by the Red Heart Gu might not have a happy ending, it could also be a demon like Zhong Yu.

And there is a genuine feeling in this world that doesn’t need external force, doesn’t need coercion.

It already exists, but because it’s so rare, the Lian Tribe people don’t believe it ever existed. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Zard gently stroked Lian Xin’s cheek, “Run.”

With that, a wave of earth sent Lian Xin far away, while Zard himself ran towards Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu calmly said to him, “You disappoint me. For a woman, you are against me, against Xiaoyu.”

Zard coldly said, “You’re joking. You don’t represent Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu would never turn someone into a ren zhi.”

A ferocious crimson hand materialized out of thin air. It grabbed Zard’s body tightly, as if squeezing a juicy tomato, about to crush him.

But Zard’s body suddenly turned into sand, slipping through the fingers and falling to the ground, seeping into the soil. To resist absolute power, one must use the formless to resist the form.

When the bursting, flowing sand mist fell to the ground, a mound of earth quickly rose, surging towards Zhong Yu like a tidal wave.

Another crimson hand materialized, its huge claws plowing the ground like knives, scattering the newly formed mound and plowing four deep furrows.

The sand and soil beneath the ground were scattered, but quickly gathered together again, constantly changing angles around Zhong Yu, seemingly unharmed.

Zhong Yu smiled, his pure black eyes devoid of emotion, “I know you’re trying to buy time for that woman, but I never intended to kill her. Don’t worry, I’ll give you that much leeway… But if you think I can’t do anything to you, you’re wrong.”

The next second, several crimson hands reached into the blazing bonfire, grabbing countless embers and flying to the mound, forcefully pressing the embers into the soil.

With a bang, Zard couldn’t withstand the high temperature and jumped out of the ground, with more than ten burns all over his body.

Zard was not afraid of physical attacks, but flames inherently countered his abilities.

He looked back sadly at the direction where he had sent Lian Xin, but saw Lian Xin running back frantically.

Zard looked back at Zhong Yu, but saw a wall of sand suddenly rise behind him, completely isolating him from Lian Xin.

The ground began to tremble, and the soil, originally compacted by the Lian Tribe people, began to loosen into sand.

Zhong Yu became interested, “Are you trying to break through to a higher realm? But this isn’t advancement, it’s overdrafting. After the overdraft… you’ll have no life left. And have you thought about it? If I die, wouldn’t Xiaoyu die too?”

Zhong Yu pondered, “When I learn to control zombies, won’t this be useless?”

Earlier, Zhong Yu and Zard had always gotten along well, because Zhong Yu knew that he would inevitably have a new period of dormancy, not knowing how long it would take to find a way to reconcile with the world.

And when he slept, Xiaoyu was vulnerable and helpless. If someone killed Xiaoyu, he would also die, so he needed Zard, his loyal protector.

But if he could control more than twenty Golden Corpses, Zard would be useless and could die.

At this time, Lianyi seemed to know that the disaster was irreversible. She cried, “Don’t do this, please.”

Zhong Yu heard this call, and the dark pupils in his eyes gradually showed whites, returning to his eye sockets.

It was as if humanity was gradually returning.

Everyone felt a glimmer of hope. At this moment, they suddenly realized that Zhong Yu’s mind was shrouded in a thick shadow, and the Red Heart Gu seemed to be able to have some influence on him!

However, the Red Heart Gu’s effect was seven days. It was only the first day now, and its influence was not enough.

But the whites in his eyes disappeared as soon as they appeared. Zhong Yu turned to Lianyi and sneered, “Disrupting my mind? I’ll pull out your tongue later.”

With that, he looked at Zard again. Before Zard could build up his momentum for a breakthrough, he slapped him away, “You can’t die yet, otherwise Xiaoyu will cry and complain to me.”

In this village, Zhong Yu was like a demon king, invincible!

But at that moment, he suddenly looked up at the dark shadows in the deepest part of the village…

…

…

Deep in the village, more than ten flower pythons swam to a two-meter-high wooden carving that was almost weathered away.

The figure on the carving wore a tall top hat and a neat tuxedo, with eyes smiling into crescent moons.

This wooden carving had been placed in the Lian Tribe for an unknown number of years, seemingly existing since Lianyi was the chief. The tribespeople didn’t know who he was, only that this magician was very handsome and kind.

The location of the carving was usually unvisited. Only the large flower pythons would come here from time to time to rest and lay their eggs nearby, as if entrusting the carving to protect them.

At this time, the large flower pythons climbed onto the carving, wrapping their thick bodies tightly around it and tightening their grip.

With a click, the carving shattered, and a silver liquid flowed out. Finally, a man stood up from the silver liquid, all the silver liquid gathering in his body, forming silver hair and a gorgeous magician’s tuxedo.

He smiled and patted the head of a large flower python, “It’s been too long, I don’t know whose children you are, but it seems there is some danger here.”

With that, he picked up a ring-shaped object from the shattered carving. The object had a white glow, like eternally burning stars.

This was a real nuclear-powered mechanical heart, but its creation time was long ago. No one knows when it was produced. Only a small inscription was engraved on the back: A gift from the Qing Family to Li Shentan, commemorating Mr. Li Shentan’s contributions to saving humanity.

Li Shentan smiled and put the mechanical heart into his body. The silver liquid flowing from the carving was billions of Nanobots, but the Nanobots themselves do not generate energy; they need external energy to power them.

Therefore, this nuclear-powered mechanical heart was specially made for him by the Qing Family, who were most adept at nuclear energy research.

The carving was sent by Li Shentan through the founder of Hu’s Organization, Hu Shuo. No one would have thought that such a being was guarding the Lian Tribe.

Li Shentan took out a silver coin from his bosom. The coin jumped playfully between his fingers, “Let’s go, let’s see who is causing trouble in the Lian Tribe.”

He looked at the firelight outside the village, “It seems to be an extraordinary figure.”

There will be another chapter before 12 o’clock tonight. Regarding the controversy over the Zhong Yu plot, I think it’s more due to the serialization. The plot cannot be serialized in 1 go, so I won’t respond much to this. As for many people disliking the Lian Tribe, I think it’s normal. There are characters that people like and dislike in a book. If you only write what everyone likes, there will be no conflict or dramatic conflict. To reiterate, not everyone in the book conforms to universal values, even a little girl like Li Tongyun will have willful, irritable and immature sides. She doesn’t exist for anyone’s liking, she is herself, and that’s all.
