He would do as he said.
Moreover, Frank's breathing gradually weakened. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that it would really be too late!
Lod carried the dying Frank with one hand and Nemu followed closely behind. The two of them arrived at the secret space below the Spirit Cleansing Pavilion.
Before officially letting Frank become death god, he still needed to ask for his opinion. If he was unwilling, he naturally would not force it!
Because it was in the physical state, his zanpakuto transformed into a cane with the symbol of death god printed at the bottom.
There is only one use for this thing, which is to push the soul of the living out of the body.
In the original work, Rukia and Kisuke Urahara used this method to help the protagonist Kurosaki Ichigo out of the physical state.
At this moment, Frank Castle was just about to exhale his last breath, Lod raised his cane to the forehead and then poked it hard!
Pop ---
A slightly transparent Frank was instantly pushed out of his body by the cane. There was also a long chain on his chest!
"Yo!"
Lod held the cane with both hands and smiled gently. "Frank, how do you feel now?"
"Pant..Pant..."
Frank knelt on the ground, breathing rapidly, his face was pale. "Why... my breathing... it feels so difficult!"
"It's normal."
Lod smiled faintly and said, "After a living person's soul leaves their body, it's normal for them to have difficulty breathing. There's no need to panic."
A living person? Soul? Body?
"What do you mean?"
Frank was confused and could not understand the meaning of this string of words.
"It means..."
Lod pointed his cane to the side. "You are dead, Frank."
"I'm dead?"
Frank looked in the direction where the cane pointed and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle. "Wait... Lod, is that my body?"
"Not yet."
Lod glanced at it and said, "However, just wait."
From the moment the soul left the body, the 'time of death' of the body would come to a standstill.
From now on, there was about one or two hours before Frank's body would completely die!
"I... am dead?"
Frank's face was as pale as paper. His thick lips trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a touch of pain and darkness. "Even you... can't save me?"
Under the man's gaze that was full of hope, Lod shook his head silently.
"No."
"The injury you suffered is too serious and irreversible. I am sorry, Frank."
The last hope in the man's eyes disappeared with this sentence.
"Sigh..."
Frank's face was ashen. There was endless anger and grievance in his heart, but he had nowhere to release it.
He was dead.
However, the enemy who killed his wife and children was still at large, enjoying the life of being under one person and above ten thousand people.
He hated it!
He hated himself for being powerless, hated the law and the government for being unfair, and hated this absurd world even more!
"Ah!"
Frank punched the ground and roared at the top of his lungs, wantonly venting the resentment and dissatisfaction in his chest!
"Ahem... Excuse me."
Lod spoke in a timely manner, "Actually, there is another way to let you live in another form. I just don't know if you are willing."
"What"
Hearing that Lod said that there was a way to keep him alive, Frank immediately widened his eyes and said impatiently, "What method? No matter what price I have to pay, I am willing!"
"Including your soul?"
"About that..."
Frank hesitated.
In the western world, those who said that they would pay for their souls were basically demons!
In Frank's opinion, since Lod said that he was a soul, there was a high chance that he was also a demon!
After calming down, Frank discovered a problem. Since he was in a soul state, how did Lod see him?
This was definitely a demon that ran away from hell!
But so what if they were demons?
When his wife and children died, did God pity them?
When he placed his hopes on the law, when did the government ever be fair?
No! No! No!
Since that was the case...
It was better to fall into hell. Even if he had to sacrifice his soul, he would avenge his dead wife and children!
"Including... my soul!"
Frank did not hesitate and said decisively, "As long as you can let me take revenge, be it the soul or life, you can take it away!"
"Very good, Frank."
Lod nodded with satisfaction, thinking, "Since you agree, I have a few things to tell you."
"Do you want to sign a contract?"
"Contract?"
"Yes, it's the kind that demons often use. The burning parchment has a lot of bullsh*t written in it."
"...."
Lod looked at Frank speechlessly. "Frank, I am very curious. How did you connect me with the demons?"
Frank: "This is how TV shows are played. Demons will pay for their souls."
"Frank... watch less TV shows." Lod rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I'm not a demon, and I don't want your soul."
"Yeah sure, that's what demon says."
Frank's face was full of an expression that he would never believe. "So how do you plan to resurrect me? Do you want to turn me into a demon too?"
"... Forget it."
"Lower your head and look at the chain on your chest." Lod was too lazy to explain to him.
Only then did Frank notice that there was a chain extending from his chest, linking him to his body.
Clang ---
Frank tugged at the chain and frowned. "It's quite sturdy. What is this for?"
"Chain of Karma."
Lod said, "A chain used to connect the soul and the body. Once the chain breaks, you will die completely."
"Oh..."
Frank did not care too much. "Compared to these things, I care more about how you will revive me."
A strange smile appeared on Lod's face. "Frank, I never said that I would revive you."
"What?"
Just as Frank was about to say something, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!
Dang!
A crisp sound, as well as sparks, Frank saw that the chain in front of his chest was cut off by a sharp sword!
"!"
Frank's pupils dilated.
He remembered very clearly that Lod had just said that this chain was connected to the body. Once the chain broke, he would never be able to revive!
"Alright."
Lod said calmly, "Now, you are completely unable to revive, Frank."
"F*ck you!"
Veins popped up on Frank's forehead as he roared, "What have you done? Demon!"
"As you can see."
Lod said indifferently, "I cut off the link between you and your body."
"Lod!"
Frank was so angry that his face twisted slightly. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Bastard! To think that I trusted you so much, and you actually lied to me!"
"Calm down, Frank."
Lod said, "The definition of living doesn't necessarily mean living in the form of a human. There are other ways to do it."
"Hmph." Frank sneered, "So, you intend to turn me into a demon?"
"Of course not."
Lod shook his head, not intending to explain to him. He continued, "If you want to live and have the power to take revenge, then it is best not to have so many problems."
Frank, who came from the army, inherited the fine tradition of the army. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "No problem, even if I will become a demon, I will live!"
"Very good, a good spirit."
Lod said, "Compared to using your mouth, I think it is better to let you experience it yourself."
Instead of wasting his breath and explaining to Frank, Lod felt that it was better to directly make a move. This way, it would be simpler!
"Very good!"
Frank obviously did not like the complicated explanation. He revealed his white teeth and said, "I hate complicated stuff. Just tell me, what do I need?"
