"Ethan, I found him!"
The vision became bloody and chaotic. After wading through the blood river and reaching a deeper place, Yulia saw the figure lying in the blood. When she found out, Jiang Chenchuan was almost unconscious.
She and Ethan spent all their efforts to get to the mermaid's tail. When they saw the penetrating wound on Jiang Chenchuan's chest, they showed disbelief and sadness. They did not dare to move Jiang Chenchuan and could only focus on his around.
"Evel..."
Even the voice calling him became trembling.
Jiang Chenchuan struggled and used the last bit of strength to open his eyes, looking at the two bewildered faces in front of him. Perhaps, this moment was the real despair.
Seeing that life is in your hands is the biggest punishment for Yulia and Ethan.
The attack of the formation attracted the attention of the mermaids, and they had time to escape using the Spear of Perutru. However, at this moment, leaving had lost its meaning.
Even Yulia, a doctor, was unable to do anything about Jiang Chenchuan's fatal injuries.
Another wave of sleepiness hit him. Amidst Yulia and Ethan's sorrowful calls, his life was rapidly declining. Jiang Chenchuan slowly closed his eyes.
He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, lying under the warm sun, and the wounds on his body no longer hurt, and he just fell asleep peacefully.
"Wake up, don't sleep. If you sleep again, you will really die."
"original sin!"
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was back in a familiar dream.
There are stars shining above the head, and at a glance, the frightening eyes are also closed in the darkness. He just leans on the park bench, as if he just slept, what kind of infected person, what kind of mermaid, as if Neither exists anymore.
He could stay here quietly for a long time, all the better without the chirping person next to him.
"I went to remind you, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn that you actually went to recycle that thing. The result... is just as I expected, you really risked your own life."
"..."
There was silence in response. Jiang Chenchuan looked forward. Original Sin tilted his head to look at him, completely unaware of what was going on in his mind.
"Don't think about it. As I said before, time in the conscious world does not stop. In reality, you will still die regardless of your death. In other words, the time you have to wait for your choice is limited."
Original Sin said with a smile.
"Besides, you have no chance to be reborn. In other words, if you continue to reject me like this, your body will be as cold as ice in a few minutes, and you will not be able to be saved no matter how hard you try..."
"...Ah...Yes, maybe you don't care about your own life or death, but have you ever thought about Julia Decapo and Ethan, they are unable to leave Rona because of your death? Erke Chengcheng, they will also die...but it will be one step later than you."
It seems that original sin is like a seducing demon, with cruel reality and the power of pollution.
"Jiang Chenchuan, don't think that your death will solve the problem. Once I lose your cage, who do you think can trap me again in this broken world?"
"I will destroy everything you cherish, whether it is people or things..."
"...Don't forget, as long as you live, you have a chance. If you die, you will have nothing. Moreover, I don't want much, only 5%, just 5% of your humanity."
Original Sin was still chattering.
Looking into the eyes of Original Sin, Jiang Chenchuan was silent for a long time.
"Five percent?"
Hearing Jiang Chenchuan's words, Yuan Sin slapped his thigh excitedly.
"Yeah, five percent."
"no."
The decisive refusal made Yuan Sin's entire face look down. No one had ever thought that they could see such a dark and vivid expression on Jiang Chenchuan's face.
"Are you mentally ill? You are going to die. Do you understand the seriousness of this matter? You! Are going to! Die!"
Original Sin was so angry that he stood up immediately, waved his arms and walked around him, shouting.
The only one who can force it to be like this is Jiang Chenchuan.
"Three percent, no less. Otherwise, you won't be able to recover that broken mermaid at all. You don't want to live on your own and have to fight for a long time and then take the lives of your companions, right?"
Seeing Jiang Chenchuan's indifferent reaction, Yuan Sin could only sigh and said in a compromised tone.
Jiang Chenchuan raised his eyes and looked at the face of Original Sin that was exactly like his own. He was in a daze for an inexplicable moment. Then, he saw his empty body under the lifted windbreaker.
"Three percent?"
Jiang Chenchuan spoke slowly.
"Yes, three percent, no matter how low you are, you can't beat it."
Most of the emotion on Yuan Sin's face was still helplessness. If it were another person, he would have succeeded long ago. He was still bargaining with Jiang Chenchuan here, not selling vegetables in the market.
When he thought of this, Original Sin also looked a little bored, but he couldn't show it. He could only try to squeeze out friendly emotions and mix them with various complicated thoughts, which made his expression very distorted.
"Don't make that look on my face, it looks disgusting."
Jiang Chenchuan also added heartily.
"Okay, I give up. You can still enjoy half an hour of leisure time in the conscious world."
Original Sin was like a deflated rubber ball. He spread his hands and sat back on the bench helplessly.
"die."
"Um?"
Hearing Jiang Chenchuan's voice, Yuan Sin raised his head and responded in confusion.
"After you die, the next person who gets into trouble is Julia Decavo. Ethan can escape smoothly, but then the relic gets out of control. It will leave the royal city and go to Ronark City to kill everyone, and then spread the curse to Outside the city, Berito will be infected, and then... the surrounding countries will suffer first, and then slowly the infection will reach England and Northern Ireland."
"...See, Evel, your presence is so important."
Just like a little butterfly flapping its wings, a subtle variable can determine the direction of the world.
Whether it is 3% human nature or 100% disaster, the choice is self-evident to everyone.
"I seem to have no choice."
Jiang Chenchuan sighed slowly, feeling a little breathless under the heavy burden.
“What do I get after the transaction?”
Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and asked.
"Almost...everything."
Original Sin said with a smile.
"everything?"
"Yes, but because I got too little, the time you can use your power is also limited. It is more than enough to clean up the fish."
It was just a relic from the deep sea. It was washed up on the shore by accident. Original Sin showed a thoughtful expression.
Perhaps, it's not necessarily such a coincidence.
Xinlan sea area... deep sea...
"How have you considered it?"
Original Sin retracted his thoughts and looked at Jiang Chenchuan with a smile on his face, waiting for his response.
"..."
Jiang Chenchuan fell silent.
Original Sin was not in a hurry anyway, it knew in its heart that when he asked, it had already agreed.
Fate will push him step by step towards the trap of original sin.
"make a deal."
As expected, after a long period of silence, Jiang Chenchuan still said these two words.
Original Sin smiled happily and couldn't help but rush to hug him. Something like electricity flashed through his mind, but it was fleeting.
"I will accept your three percent humanity, Captain Jiang."
The voice of original sin rang in Jiang Chenchuan's ears.
He seemed to open his eyes from his sleep. In front of him were the worried faces of Ethan and Yulia. He could feel that something was different. Jiang Chenchuan sat up straight and stretched out his hand to remove the wound that penetrated his body. The spikes came out.
There was no blood splashing as he imagined, and he couldn't feel any pain. It seemed like something was surging crazily, filling the wound the moment he pulled it out.
The same goes for the rest of the injuries, which healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Yuliya, wait."
Pulling Yulia who was about to step forward, Ethan's eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions. Jiang Chenchuan had slowly climbed up from the ground, looking at his back as if staring into the bottomless depths. dark.
The eyes in the darkness slowly opened, and Jiang Chenchuan could feel that its vision was connected to his own perception. Whatever the eyes saw, he could also see it, and he could even see it more clearly.
Just like a god's perspective, he can see through all the materials in the world. The feeling of being above the world is a peak that ordinary people can't reach.
Jiang Chenchuan felt that he could do it...
everything.
He finally understood what original sin meant.
Over all things.
He could clearly feel the overall structure of the mermaid, including its inferior hallucinations, non-existent breathing sounds, and its inherently "dead" nature.
as well as……
The fatal weakness hidden within the huge body.
"So, is that so?"
It's like a new path has been opened, including the colorful power that pervades the air, and it seems that it is under his control. With just a wave of his hand, he can gather endless power.
He accepted the temptation of the devil. No wonder it is said that once humans have power and power, they cannot accept their own mediocrity.
"Evel's state... is so strange."
Yulia looked at Jiang Chenchuan worriedly.
"All the injuries on his body are gone."
Under the filthy and tattered clothes, his skin had become normal. Just a few seconds ago, he was still in a dying state, but now he has completely changed.
Compared to the mermaid, Jiang Chenchuan was like an ant looking at an elephant, but the aura he exuded at this moment was not as weak as that of an ant at all. He slowly turned around and picked up the recycling box that had fallen aside.
Unlocks with a click.
Open it and set it aside in a dry place where no blood or water will flow through it.
Blood that did not belong to Jiang Chenchuan streaked across his cheek. He found his weapon and pulled it out, burning fire jumping on the blade.
Then, he jumped up.
"Humans...can't do this..."
Yulia and Ethan looked on with dumbfounded expressions. This battle was completely beyond their understanding. A human being could not do this.
However, Ethan felt something unusually cold from the dark aura vaguely coming from Jiang Chenchuan's body.
A light exploded in mid-air, and hot wind waves blew away the accumulated blood. The strong scales on the mermaid's body could be seen instantly shattered, and black aura was revealed in the cracks.
It was as if something was eroding the mermaid's body, and its size was shrinking little by little.
However, Jiang Chenchuan, who caused all this, has found its most vulnerable position through analysis of its internal structure.
The blade of the sword was filled with interlaced light of yellow and green, mixed with a hint of black. In his eyes, the world was no longer what it was originally. Within a certain range, the appearance had fallen apart, and the essence could be seen directly.
Every breath of life, the surging airflow of the wind, and the weaknesses that can be destroyed, it seems that with a little guidance, their essence can be changed.
Just swinging the blade out will solve everything.
In front of the weak mermaid, he is the master of this battle. As long as he wants to, no one can resist or go against his will.
etc.
Before giving the final fatal blow, Jiang Chenchuan was slightly stunned. The thought that just popped into his mind had never occurred to him before.
That kind of unruly and contemptuous speech made him feel extremely strange.
"Don't think too much and concentrate."
The voice of original sin suddenly rang in my ears.
"You don't have much time, don't waste it."
There was a dark shadow falling rapidly in front of him. In the few seconds when Jiang Chenchuan was stagnant, the mermaid seemed to realize his fate and actually launched an attack on Jiang Chenchuan.
A slap hit his body, causing a violent shock. There was a huge difference in body shape. He didn't have time to think too much. He slashed down with a sword, and his whole body fell to the ground hard and was knocked out directly. A deep pit.
Although he was violently attacked, Jiang Chenchuan felt no pain at all, and even the building behind him was destroyed without leaving a single scratch on his body.
This is the power of original sin.
It was just the power he got in exchange for three percent.
So its essence...
How strong is it?
It was difficult for Jiang Chenchuan to explain clearly, but he waved his hand to push away the rubble piled on his body, climbed out of the smashed ruins, and watched the mermaid in front of him collapse.
His sword was inserted into the most fatal weakness, and no blood could flow from the long-dead body.
It just fell to the ground, its empty eyes looking in the direction of Jiang Chenchuan. After defeating it, the mermaid returned to its original size.
"Don't touch it, it still retains the power of bewitching."
Jiang Chenchuan warned Ethan and Yulia that now, only he can do it.
Pick up the mermaid body lying in the blood, approach the recycling box step by step, and put the body into the box.
Click——
"Evel!"
After doing everything, he felt that all the strength in his body was drained away. The helpless emptiness suddenly came over him. His vision went dark, and Jiang Chenchuan completely fainted.
