An Yu's hand trembled, and the blade cast a cold light on Ling Qiu's face, lighting up the dark eyes again.
Ling Qiu finally laughed in relief.
"Thank you." He said softly: "Kneeling down is also a gesture of victory. It's you who will protect my dignity this time."
"If possible, take my place and break this miasma."
When the knife fell, Qin Zhilu wanted to stop it, but in the end he allowed An Yu to cut off the neck of the only person he was bound to with his own hands.
The line between the human part and the abnormal part has finally been completely drawn.
In the past ten years, every time An Yu said he wanted to sleep, Ling Qiu was helpless, but in the end he said good night gently.
"Go to sleep." An Yu closed his eyes amid the dripping blood and whispered, "Have a sweet dream, Ling Qiu."
"Good night, brother."
The author has something to say:
【Snowflakes】Ling Qiu (2/3) Little Character
The time spent with An Yu playing around with each other, bickering, and grabbing bread was the most memorable time.
Although in the eyes of others, those muddy days stink, I enjoy them.
I have always understood that I am just a little person who was born with a bad hand, and even saying something ordinary is really a plus.
But I just played this bad hand of cards to the extreme - everything I could pry, I could touch, and I could protect, everything was done to the extreme.
In the last few seconds of my life, I saw the solemn and respectful gaze of the commander of Spire No. 1. Death had no weight in front of the sense of accomplishment at that moment.
This short life is like an ideal amusement park. I managed to win with ease all the way to the end. Although I feel somewhat regretful that time has been rushed, it cannot be said that I am not happy.
I had known that there might not be a way back, but if I had to do it again, I would still choose to go all out.
************
【Snowflakes】Ling Qiu (3/3) Farewell
Even though I was born in mud and buried in dirt, my ideals remain noble.
An Yu, I'm very happy that you live next door to me.
Chapter 15 Lost Area 53·15
Under Ling Qiu's body was a heavy sniper rifle. The flame pattern was an honor exclusive to the new recruit king.
While destroying street lights in the inner city, he was accidentally infected with the octopus gene. However, not only did his mental strength not decline, he also used this heavy sniper to headshot hundreds of octopus men until he ran out of bullets.
He originally planned to go straight to the spire to report when he returned, but he didn't want to wait - those weak octopus anomalies paralyzed his nerves. If he had known that he would encounter a brass octopus, he would have at least saved a bullet.
Even if it’s for yourself.
An Yu lifted the heavy spy from the ground and looked up at the corner of the container.
Frog Tongue, who lost his big boy, went into a state of frenzied production. Jiang Xiao's murderous intention exploded. His pupils were stained crimson to the whites of his eyes, and the snake's tail soaked in octopus mucus began to bulge with granules.
A grape vine clung to him, and Zhu Tao shouted: "Stop! You are losing control!"
"It's too late." Jiang Xiao said coldly: "I can't stop, so let me do the last thing."
The snake's tail doubled in size again, dragging the frog's tongue into the air and slamming it to the ground!
The frog's tongue shattered silently, and before he could heal himself, he was thrown again! The huge explosion mixed with Jiang Xiao's crazy laughter, and the entire container roared.
Frog Tongue's chest was shattered into pieces. He leaned on the ground and dragged his broken body to the corner, looking at Jiang Xiao.
"Welcome."
This was the first time An Yu heard the sound of frog tongue, like a paranoid teenager.
Or, like 0313.
His gloomy gaze slowly swept over everyone, "Welcome."
The vitality drained rapidly from those eyes, and transparent epithelial tissue grew between the fingers, and then quickly shriveled up.
The moment it died, the miasma that shrouded Area 53 also faded away.
The terminal in An Yu's pocket suddenly screamed crazily, and hundreds of messages rushed into it in an instant.
All from Shangfeng, the latest ones——
[The communication has been disconnected for more than 12 hours, and reinforcements have been dispatched. 】
[Already synchronized with Xi De, rush there immediately after completing the previous tasks. 】
[Temporary leader of the reinforcements: Bo. 】
An Yu clicked on the ladder and searched for "fight".
The 196th floor shimmered in response.
[Codename: Bo (Yasa)
196 layers of supervision objects
Immediate superior: Xide
Aberration: Black-necked Crane
Gene entropy: 30280 (initial value)
Combat specialties: sonic interference, aerial combat, aerial shooting
Comprehensive record: 190 million]
Bo is an output system, and his gene entropy and record are much higher than Zhu Tao's.
The machine alarm sounded suddenly. Zhu Tao held the terminal and panicked: "Lian's mental strength dropped to 33! Jiang Xiao 32!"
They were all severely infected, and their wounds were filled with strange granulations, making it difficult for them to become deformed again.
The genetic entropy of the Brass Octopus is too high, and the risk of being infected by it is no less than that of an ordinary person's first aberration.
An Yu suddenly remembered Qin Zhilu's cold announcement in the car.
If it falls below 30, you will die.
Qin Zhilu stepped on the siren and walked towards Ryan.
Ryan begged: "Maybe I can hold on, Law..."
The alarm is louder.
Ryan 30!
"Sorry, you don't have a chance."
Qin Zhilu touched the holster on his waist and said solemnly: "Thank you for always sticking to the order of mankind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the terminal called the police again, Ryan's mental strength was 29!
Awakening quickly passed from those eyes.
After a dull roar, he finally fell into a pool of blood.
The container was eerily quiet. Qin Zhilu took a step back and bowed his head to the corpse.
Even his gesture of condolence was firm, and his cold eyes were downward, making it difficult to see his emotions.
Another alarm.
Putao said in a trembling voice: "Jiang Xiao's mental strength dropped to 31... No, he's still there..."
"boom!"
The decisive sound of gunfire interrupted the machine alarm.
The strong wind of the bullet caused the hair near An Yu's cheek to rise. Qin Zhilu put away his gun and strode forward.
Jiang Xiao was hit by the bullet against the wall. After a long time, he lowered his head and looked at the hole in his chest.
The shot that hit him turned out to be an ordinary bullet. Although the wound lost blood rapidly, the ballistic path avoided the heart and lungs.
The strange granulation suddenly stopped growing, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Mortal wounds temporarily interrupt the aberration process.
"Sir..." Jiang Xiao looked at Qin Zhilu blankly, as if he wanted to call "sir", but swallowed it back, "Do you want to save me?"
Qin Zhilu looked at the number fixed at 30 on the terminal and said, "You can try it. Are you willing?"
Jiang Xiao smiled.
The look he looked at Qin Zhilu was almost lustful.
"As long as you want."
Qin Zhilu examined the bullet hole in his chest, "My high-chaos human gene can interrupt other aberrations and buy you more time to recover your mental strength. Back then, the brain tried to use this to save all the aberrations that were on the verge of losing control. , but a large number of experiments have found that when my genes enter other people's bodies, there is only a 0.1% chance of shrinking into pure human gene expression. In other cases, the genes are fully expressed and the recipient will fall into eternal disorder in the human body."
Qin Zhilu took off his gloves, made a cut near the knuckle of his index finger, and pressed the bleeding knuckle heavily into Jiang Xiao's wound.
Jiang Xiao choked up and said, "I will accept any result."
Qin Zhilu quickly stopped his hand and brushed away the mucus attached to the joints.
This was the first time An Yu saw him take off his gloves. His fingers were long and distinct, and there was nothing unusual about them.
The genetic infection took effect quickly. Jiang Xiao slipped from the wall and fell to the ground, burying his face in the broken sand and whimpering muffled.
Qin Zhilu looked at his twitching appearance and said, "Find a place to hide yourself. If you can sustain your mental strength until reinforcements arrive, let them take you back."
Jiang Xiao nodded slightly.
"But if you don't hold on -" Qin Zhilu paused, "if you fall into the eternal disorder of the human body, you will die. Thank you for always sticking to the order of mankind. Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Xiao murmured to himself and asked: "Save me, not Ryan, why?"
"You're worth more than he is, and I don't think he'd survive my infection."
Jiang Xiao seemed to smile, "I thought it was because he attacked An Yu."
