Li Cheng often went through life and death when he was young, but after all, he was different from the previous extraordinary investigators.
After one arm was turned into a "nothing" state by the power of the evil god at the age of thirty, he chose to retire and was mainly responsible for some behind-the-scenes work and teaching.
But at the age of fifty this year, he had to stand up again.
This era is an era in which the investigator organization as a whole is relatively lacking in high-end combat capabilities. But with the Human Poetry, the mid-level combat effectiveness has increased significantly. Therefore, a commander with superior intelligence like Li Cheng becomes very useful.
Today, in the northwest of the area controlled by the human defense line, a desert suddenly began to expand.
Li Cheng was currently near this desert.
So he came to the scene in person with one arm and his hair had turned quite gray after half a century.
"It's the source of desolation." As soon as he arrived at the scene, Li Cheng read out the name of the evil god. If it were a man with a high level of inspiration like Ace, he might have directly leveraged the power of the evil god with just such a thought. But if Li Cheng recited it, he just recited it.
The source of desolation, Li Cheng's arm was really destroyed by him. This is the evil god who represents nothing. It can make everything develop towards disappearance, non-existence and desolation.
Li Cheng stood on the edge of the desert created by the desolate source. He thought for a moment and immediately thought of a tactic: "Order the headquarters to immediately transport all the items with the power of the immortal sacred tree."
Wu Hui knew about the Immortal Sacred Tree in the joint match before, during the match in Fog City. Offering sacrifices to the Immortal Sacred Tree will give you a chance to be resurrected. The immortal sacred tree itself represents existence and continuity. Just the opposite of the power of the desolate source.
The evil god is more like an incarnation of rules. It's just that ordinary people are too fragile, so if they are affected by evil gods or even look at evil gods, they will have problems. Some of these evil gods represent darkness, death, and nothingness. That poses a greater threat to humans.
But there are also some that represent knowledge, time, existence and so on. Although it also has quite powerful side effects, it can be exploited.
People who pray to the Immortal Tree for immortality usually do not end well. Either become a tree and live forever, or lie in a coffin forever. Perhaps it is because the mortal body cannot carry the concept of eternity and can only undergo some transformations.
Now, these trees and coffins are all being transported to the desert as quickly as possible.
Of course there is something more important.
Balls of strange flesh and blood were locked in a cage and sent towards the desert.
This is flesh and blood cut from the body of an eternal being. It is also what Li Cheng thinks is the most reliable. But it takes time to transport it, and there are other things on the way that cause trouble.
So Li Cheng knew that he had to find other ways to limit the spread of the desert.
"What is the source of the spread of the desert?" Li Cheng muttered to himself, but heard someone next to him say the same thing. He turned around and saw Wu Hui and Wu Tong.
"Oh, is it my turn?" Li Cheng adjusted his windbreaker.
Wu Hui: "Hmm... It seems that the Human Defense Line has records about us? What did you say?"
Li Cheng: "Before every legendary investigator dies, two unknown mourners, a man and a woman, will arrive. Help them complete the final battle. It seems that my end is coming too."
Well, it’s not a surprise that Human Defense Line recorded what happened between itself and Wu Tong. After all, many places are under surveillance, and Wu Hui did not hide himself specifically. Besides, the title of Undertaker doesn't do him any harm.
"That's right." Wu Hui nodded.
"Okay, then how can you help me." Li Cheng reached into his pocket with one hand, took out a cigarette, held it skillfully in his mouth, and then lit it with one hand.
"Help you find your left arm, and then eliminate the source of this desert and reduce its spread speed." Wu Hui said.
"...Then, let's do it." Li Cheng said: "We need to go into the desert to find the source, right. Let's go. I hope my old bones can still be used."
Compared with the curtain calls of the previous legends. Li Cheng somewhat feels like a hero who is still forced to fight in his old age.
fifty years old
, which is already a long life for a legendary investigator. Li Cheng should even be proud of this. But after all, he couldn't really have a quiet ending.
Li Cheng, the legendary investigator with the weakest combat power, needs Wu Tong to use the power of the God of Fire to create a metal ball to protect him when he goes deep into the desert.
Wu Hui, however, was very impressed with his calmness and his ability to make the best choice in just one or two sentences.
"The source is actually...the arm?" After Li Cheng arrived at the center of the desert, he showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Oh, no wonder I need to come in person."
That was an arm Li Cheng lost many years ago, and he didn’t know why it was here.
The power of nothingness was so strong that even Wu Hui felt something begin to flow from the surface of his body, let alone Li Cheng. Even if the body is covered with metal and ice, it will have no effect.
"Something is coming." Wu Tong looked up.
"Well, let's stop it. Pick up your arm as soon as possible." Wu Hui said to Li Cheng, while stepping on the boat and Wu Tong took off.
Wu Tong never talks much about games, perhaps because he is still adapting to how his younger brother has become stronger.
Drink a pot of strong wine and first comprehensively strengthen your own attributes. Then he raised his hand and turned into thunder to greet his opponent. Bolts of lightning lit up the dark sky.
Then comes the sea.
The sea turned into countless ice fronts under Wu Hui's power. Collide with enemies in the void. dissipate.
Attacks of matter and energy are instantly swallowed up and can only have the effect of blocking the opponent's progress. Of course, Wu Hui knew that all he had to do was stop him.
However, Wu Hui couldn't help but start to think, how would Li Cheng resolve this crisis without himself and Wu Tong? The desert will continue to expand and weather everything. If it is not done well, human beings can only squat in a few oases protected by the power of immortal sacred trees to survive.
Now, after removing the arm, the desert will not disappear, but the expansion will be much reduced, and the human defense line will have a way to block it.
It's like treating a disease, it's best to treat it when it's at its mildest.
But it also requires a legendary investigator to risk his life.
Li Cheng made contact with his arm, trying to control and recover this desolate power.
efficient. But his body is also gradually becoming deserted. The protection from Wu Hui and Wu Tong obviously couldn't withstand it for long. He could only quickly take out his communication equipment, communicate with the headquarters, and give his last words.
Including benchmarks for who is suitable to become investigators after him, as well as specific plans to restrict this desert. There are also suggestions for training new people. Some hidden dangers need special attention, and some trends need to be curbed...
At the end of his life, Li Cheng only hoped that he could do more to help investigators and human defense.
