If Zhou Heng was a rational enough person, then he shouldn't have agreed to Scarlet Ghost's request. Everyone knew that fighting a tiger would not end well. Back then, General Wisdom was also a hero, and in the end, he was also the one who suffered a backlash from the Scarlet Ghosts.

But Zhou Heng was different from General Wisdom. Maybe General Wisdom was good at fighting, but in terms of dealing with ghosts, he was far inferior to Zhou Heng.

Regarding how dangerous these wraiths were, Zhou Heng's understanding of them was far deeper than these mortal generals. Therefore, Zhou Heng was also aware of the help that Demonic Ghosts could provide, especially this kind of Demonic Ghosts who had his own consciousness and could communicate normally with humans.

"Alright," Zhou Heng still chose to nod his head, "You can attach yourself to my sword."

To Scarlet Ghost, Zhou Heng's words were like an order of forgiveness, allowing him to walk back from the edge of death. Back then, the battle with General Wisdom made Scarlet Ghost lose his figure, and he could only rely on living in seclusion and drinking blood. If he did not have the permission of his master, he would not be able to live as a shapeless ghost. Without a host and without a body, he would eventually dissipate into the air.

But with Zhou Heng's permission, the Scarlet Ghost could be considered to have recovered its life. The black mist rushed towards Jade Fragment, and strange changes were also happening on the surface of the silver sword.

A scarlet red line appeared in the center of the sword, as if the sword had an additional meridian. Even without any special ability, Zhou Heng could smell the smell of blood from the thin red line.

Just how much human blood did this Scarlet Ghost drink to be able to do this? Zhou Heng started to suspect if he had made the wrong decision.

When the ball of black mist completely disappeared from the sky, it meant that the Scarlet Ghost had completely entered into the jade fragment in Zhou Heng's hand. Although there was no change on the surface, and even no increase in its weight, Zhou Heng could still feel a strong Yin energy coming from the sword in his hand.

"Scarlet Ghost," Zhou Heng shook the jade fragment in his hand, "Restrain yourself a little."

"Yes, master!" Scarlet Ghost's voice came from the sword blade. At the same time, the Baleful Yin Force was also restrained. The current Scarlet Ghost was extremely obedient, but Zhou Heng would not let down his guard.

"The dodecadecarboxylic acid has already disappeared," Merlin, who was standing by the side, suddenly spoke, "but a new Demonic Knife has been born."

"Jade Break." Merlin smiled and asked Zhou Heng, "What about this name?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Heng said. The current him did not know the importance of "name".

Merlin smiled and did not linger on this topic. Shall we go in together? " He suddenly pointed at the wooden door of the clock tower.

"Can I go in?" Zhou Heng was a little suspicious. Just now, when Merlin used the dodecadecarboxylic acid to slash at the door, the dodecadecarboxylic acid was broken into two pieces.

But Merlin nodded. "As long as you wish."

His strength, his power, his desire, his wisdom, his will. If you hold one in each embrace, you can worship the dead king.

Zhou Heng placed the broken piece of jade into the original jade sheath, and hung it on his belt. Then he walked to the wooden door.

"Push it away." Merlin whispered into Zhou Heng's ear, "As long as you gently push it away, it will be fine."

Could he really push it away? Zhou Heng remembered that when he came here with Qin Fen earlier in the day, he was clearly unable to open that copper lock.

"You can do it." Merlin continued to instigate Zhou Heng.

Yes, he could do it. As if he was woken up by Merlin, Zhou Heng suddenly understood this point. In the day, he was not stopped by the copper lock, but he himself subconsciously refused.

No, don't open it. It was Zhou Heng's rationality that was reminding him.

"It's just like how the dodecadecarboxylic acid and Jade Fragment become one and become one." "You should find yourself whole, too."

Complete self? Zhou Heng pressed his hand on the wooden door, and the copper lock that was obstructing the opening of the wooden door suddenly began to shake violently, as if an invisible key had been inserted into the lock. If Zhou Heng used even a little more strength, his fate would be reversed along with that invisible key.

Zhou Heng's fingertips pushed forward.

Pow! The copper lock suddenly made a sound, followed by a "Yi" sound. The wooden door opened.

It was different from what they had imagined, there wasn't a large amount of killing intent surging out from the clock tower. After the wooden door was opened, the interior of the clock tower was displayed before their eyes; it was no different from a normal clock tower.

Without any hesitation, Merlin's body floated into the interior of the clock tower. Zhou Heng, who was standing at the door, hesitated for a moment before following behind Merlin.

The two of them walked up the stairs. Although their pace was not fast, the distance was very short. Soon, they reached the top of the clock tower.

It had been a long time since someone had been here. The large clock, which had been pushed by the gears, had completely stopped working. The gears were covered in rust and dust.

Merlin's feet did not touch the ground, but Zhou Heng's feet had actually landed on the floor, which was covered in dust. With every step he took, a speck of dust would be stirred up on the floor, leaving behind a footprint.

had thought that the interior of the bell tower would be a strange space like the water throne, but he had never imagined that it would be so ordinary, so ordinary that it had no special characteristics.

Merlin floated slowly through the interior of the clock tower. The Magus who had grown up in Europe should have no idea of what was going on here, but it was as if he was back at home. Merlin's eyes moved between the dusty gears, looking as if they were filled with memories of the past.

In the end, Merlin stopped in front of the largest gear. This gear was the core of the clock tower's operation, but now that the clock tower had stopped functioning, no one would put oil on it to maintain this gear. It was already covered in dark red rust.

It was worth noting that there was an iron ring hanging abruptly from one of the sawteeth of the big gear.

This iron ring was like a rough crown. There were a few indentations on it that could be embedded with gems, but no gems were embedded onto it. Even the iron hoops themselves weren't coated with a layer of silver or gold paint, so they were a dark green color. If Merlin had not taken the initiative to pick it up, Zhou Heng would not have noticed this metal ring.

Ding ding ding - "Suddenly, a voice came from Zhou Heng's waist.
