Death… And Me Chapter 489 - Catch!

Chapter 489 - Catch!

Sure enough, it only took a few seconds for other cultivators to arrive at the place where the last guy disappeared.

"Where's Fiok?"

"I don't know. He just disappeared out of nowhere."

"His spear is still here, though."

"Spread out. Look for any clues."

Unfortunately for them, Rean and Roan were long gone. They quickly arrived at the walls of the city before jumping down and disappearing in the distance. Once they felt that they had distanced themselves enough, Roan went ahead and complained.

'Are you crazy? What if there was some high-leveled Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator or above close by? Your Spiritual Sense and Light bending skill has a limit. If the Spiritual Sense is too strong, the skill won't be able to bend it completely before touching our bodies.'

Rean didn't care as he replied.

'So what? Did you want me to just watch as that guy pierced the baby? He aimed straight for the head, for crying out loud! My Light ELement might be good at healing, but I can't bring people back to life.'

'Do you think that baby was the only one? There are definitely other survivors in similar conditions back there. Are you going to save all of them as well? The Life Force in the baby was already weak, to begin with, so he would die soon either way.'

Rean shook his head as he said.

'No, he wouldn't. The one I believe was his mother dying while holding him. However, the baby has no injuries whatsoever. I don't know what she did, but the baby's state is due to some other problem. In fact, you probably know more about this than me. Is there any sort of pill that can make you look like you're dead?'

Roan was taken aback for a moment. However, he quickly recovered as he pondered over the question.

'There are a couple of pills capable of doing that. Can you confirm that the baby took one of those?'

Rean nodded.

'I can tell that through my Light Element and his Life Force. As long as I use my Purification skill, he will immediately recover. That being said, I couldn't simply leave him there to die, right? Or are you saying that you would be able to ignore it as if nothing had happened?'

Roan narrowed his eyes as he answered.

'Probably. I always put the end result above all.'

Rean glanced at him and smiled in the end.

'Probably, huh? So be it, then. Well, it was obvious that the baby's mother used it to make it look like her child was dead, so I'm going to at least keep the kid safe until we're out.'

Roan simply stopped caring.

'Whatever.'

The two then moved quite far away from the city. There were two instances where they fell into someone's Spiritual Sense. However, their Divine Senses were not strong enough to break through Rean's Spiritual Sense and Light Bending skill. Finally, they got far enough from the city and entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Sister Orb immediately appeared in front of them.

[What are you going to do with this baby?]

Rean smiled before taking the kid.

'Life Style, Third Form, Purification.'

Rean's hair changed into black and white as Light Element entered the baby's body. Soon after, Dark Element followed and began to destroy all the toxins that were keeping the baby in that faux death state. Suddenly...

*Waaaaa, waaaaa...*

Sure enough, the baby woke up and immediately began to cry.

"There you go, little girl. Sure enough, that was a fake death."

Roan got closer and nodded.

"Seems like it. I only know two pills that can achieve that effect, and one is made for high-level cultivators. In the end, there was only one option left, the Mortal Death Pill. It's quite expensive, so his parents must have been quite wealthy."

Sister Orb couldn't help but ask.

[So, what do you want to do with this kid?]

Rean looked at Sister Orb before saying.

"Isn't that obvious? Sister Orb, from now on, you'll be Mommy Orb. Congratulations!"

[Congratulations... Your a.s.s! I know nothing about babies, alright?]

"What are you talking about? Weren't Roan and I babies in the past as well?"

[Shameless! Where have you ever seen other babies with old geezers' souls? This little girl is the real deal! First of all, we don't have milk in this place to feed her.]

"Well, you'll have to make do with the food we have at the moment."

Roan didn't seem to have the patience for that, so he turned around and headed towards the cage.

"You two can keep discussing what to do with the girl. I'm going ahead."

Rean was taken aback.

"Hey, wait! I want to listen as well! Sister Orb, catch!"

Suddenly, Rean threw the baby in Sister Orb's direction.

[Ah!]

Sister Orb immediately used the Spiritual Energy of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to hold the baby before she hit the ground.

[Are you crazy?! If you're trying to kill the baby, why did you save her in the first place?]

Rean smiled as he headed to the cage as well.

"What are you talking about? The Sister Orb that I know would never let the little girl fall to the ground even if she had to use her orb body to stop it."

[f.u.c.k you! You can't do that to me!]

Too bad that Rean had entered the jail already. Sister Orb then looked at the crying girl, not knowing what to do.

[Well, it's only a temporary measure. Now... what should I do with you?]

Back inside the cage, the man with the strange red patterns on his body was still unconscious. Roan couldn't help but touch it, just to see if it was really part of his body or if it was put there later on.

"Hey, those things are real. They're seriously part of his body. Not only that, but it doesn't feel like his body had transformed, and then these red lines appeared. It's more like he had it in the first place."

Roan nodded.

"All of these guys had the same red lines on their bodies, both men and women. It's just that they have different patterns."

Rean then sent his Spiritual Sense and Light Element inside to examine the man from head to toe.

"Hmm... I'm not sure if I should call him human. Most parts are similar, but there are a few differences as well."

Roan thought up of a quicker way to find that out.

"Forget it. I'll wake him up, and we can confirm everything from his mouth after that."
