The dry and rotten branches were trampled into several sections by messy footsteps, and the strong wind followed him like a ghost. Amorphous black shadows flowed among the shrubs and tree trunks, and the eyes of the shadows were emitting dangerous blood-red light, tightly Staring at his thin figure.
It's a dead end.
Hong Yuan hurriedly climbed over the trees in front of him and ran towards an unknown direction. He could desperately feel that he had no chance to get rid of the hunter behind him. The effect of all his struggles was just to prolong his death.
The monster is behind him.
There was nowhere to escape.
His pride and dignity were accidentally dropped while escaping, and were trampled to pieces by the beasts following closely behind him. There was no chance to pick them up again, and he was simply invincible...
When he made that choice, he might have already sealed his current fate.
If he was given a plan to start over, Hong Yuan would definitely stay away from this mess and scold himself for being so obsessed with it. He thought that the first half of his life was too smooth, which gave him the idea that he could make all his dreams come true. illusion.
But this is not true.
In this dangerous and terrifying world, he is actually just one of countless ordinary mortals. If there is anyone in this world who is destined to die, it will definitely not be him.
If he could survive, he would change this idea forever and abandon the arrogance and stupidity of the past, which unknowingly led him to this path of death. No one can change this.
Snapped.
Hong Yuan accidentally stepped on a branch and staggered a few steps.
The hunter behind him also took the opportunity to get a few meters closer. Although he was still not close enough to pounce on him and bite his neck off, Hong Wen could feel that he had already stepped half into the grave.
If you can survive...
At this moment, his mind was filled with the desire for survival, and his body was driven by instinct to constantly shuttle back and forth. Now he could not even remember half of the skills he was usually good at.
But it was all in vain.
No, you absolutely cannot die here.
'My will will be realized, I will survive! '
Hong Yuan roared, stretched out his hands, and violently tore at both sides.
He stepped into the space rift that appeared, and then instantly ended the maintenance of the space behind him.
Hong Yuan didn't even look at the grassland that suddenly appeared. He still kept running at high speed, and within a few steps, he raised his hand and repeated the previous action, and then performed a second space jump.
When he raised his head, he saw the black figure with blood-red eyes in front of him.
Before despair took away his will to resist, the desire to survive drove him to turn around and run towards the back, but the sight that appeared completely extinguished his remaining fighting spirit.
Behind him is a cliff.
The roars of monsters came from the dark bottom, as if they were expecting him to jump down.
Hong Yuan stopped and closed his eyes, then turned to look at the monster behind him.
The flowing faces of the black figure were constantly changing. The first ones to appear were the faces of several leaders of the Investigation Department, and then they turned into the members of the Salvation Alliance beside him, but none of these faces stayed on the monster for more than half a second.
As the monster moved towards him slower and slower, its face gradually became fixed.
"Spare your life, spare your life..." Hong Yuan kept backing away with fear on his face, "I shouldn't have done this to you..."
He had stepped on the edge of the cliff.
The monster's mouth full of fangs reflected a terrifying cold light.
Then leave it to fate.
Hong Yuan fell backward.
He closed his eyes.
…
…………
………………
He opened his eyes again.
"Ah..." Hong Yuan endured the pain in his muscles and stood up, looking at his surroundings in confusion.
This was a suburb outside the city, and he was lying on the wasteland sleeping. This made Hong Yuan a little confused, and he also vaguely felt that he had just had a nightmare.
It seems that he used his ability while sleeping.
Hong Yuan waved his hand and then took an easy step forward.
He emerged into a clean and tidy bedroom.
Fortunately, no one should have noticed his disappearance.
He casually took out his phone and looked at it.
etc……
It seems that I am going to be late.
The man hurriedly walked to the closet and immediately changed into formal clothes that suited his current position. Although his movements were a little hasty, he got dressed in a hurry.
Just like he was being hunted...
What?
Hong Yuan didn't think much. After putting on the watch, he walked directly into the closet.
Space became chaotic in his hands.
"Sorry, I encountered some small problems." Hong Yuan opened the door and walked into the conference room, showing an apology to the seven level IV ability users who were waiting for him at the long table.
Sitting at the front of the long table is a middle-aged man in a suit:
"Understood, after all we are fighting against the Federation."
Hong Yuan nodded to the middle-aged man and the old woman opposite him, and then sat down on the chief chair naturally:
"Thank you, I did encounter some minor problems."
The middle-aged man looked at the other people and nodded slightly:
“So are all the leaders of the Southern Federation on the list here?
"Just the eight of us?"
Hong Yuan raised his hand and shook it:
"No, actually there are twelve, but I can't contact the other four."
The old woman asked calmly:
"Then let's count them, twelve level IV ability users, how are we going to confront the Federation? We destroyed some of the hunting lord's rituals, but after that we didn't make any progress.
"How long can we hide?"
Hong Yuan said to the old woman gently:
"Grandma Li, the number of ability users is not calculated like this. We are just on the list. The Federation listed us because we can represent the Salvation Alliance here, but it does not mean that we are the only ones who have reached level IV.
"Not to mention anything else, the companions who followed me here to resist were not recorded by them. We must have represented more than single-digit Level IV ability users. What's more, there are other members outside who are resisting the Federation alone. We have His companions are naturally fond of solitude."
"Although the Southern Federation has the smallest number of high-level abilities among the Salvation Alliance, we have survived several attacks. Grandma Li, you said we haven't accomplished much during this period, but the Federation hasn't caught many of us.
"We still have a chance of winning, and we must not surrender to the Federation like this."
He looked at the old woman with indignation, like a passionate young man.
The old woman sighed:
"You are right, Shenxiao still needs us...
"But! Those young people can no longer hold on. They still have a long life to enjoy. If the Federation wants to fight us, I will never give in at all, but the conditions they have given are already very good. .
"Ideals are beautiful. If we can win, then sacrificing for this is nothing to me. I had already retired before I met Shenxiao. I am fighting only because of her at this moment, but the reality It's cruel.
"We can't win, that's the truth.
“Compromise is not surrender, but making better choices.”
Hong Yuan looked at the old woman seriously:
“I am a young man and I can hold on.
"I understand your worries. The people in front of me are all admirable warriors. The cowards defected as early as the Federation took action, and were even approached by them before they took action. For example, the two who followed Shen Xiao The yin and yang twins.
“You are not cowardly, but you know that if this continues, the result will only be worse than negotiating, causing countless fearless deaths.
"I think if there is an opportunity to exchange your own lives for Shenxiao's freedom, none of you will have any hesitation.
"What you are worried about are the young people who follow us. We may not be responsible for our own lives, but we cannot use their lives to exchange for an almost impossible chance of victory.
"You're right."
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, we are walking on a path of death. Maybe we have been mentally prepared for a long time. After all, we are all fools who are crazy enough to choose to follow Shenxiao, but what about those young people?
“They are good people, but they are also human beings.
"The young people fighting today may not have fully thought about it like we did, and it is difficult for them to really put life and death aside.
"The kindness flowing in their bones has brought them to where they are today. In the beginning, they may have only embarked on this path with the support of simple kindness. Many people are not mentally prepared, and they live in fear every day.
"I don't think the young people who follow us are as passionate as you and me, and can sacrifice their lives for unattainable ideals anytime and anywhere. They are as afraid of death as all ordinary good people. This is the right they deserve.
"If this fucking world won't repay their kindness, then it's time for us to do so. They have sacrificed enough, and if this continues, it will just lead them into the abyss together.
"They have not abandoned us, so we cannot fail them either."
Hong Yuan nodded:
"Yes, your ideas are all right, but you all know why I called you here."
A woman who looked to be in her thirties and was wearing a dress said:
"You want to fight the Federation to the death."
Hong Yuan said:
"This word may be a bit biased, I just don't want to give up yet, but I also agree with you, and what supports my different judgments from you is the information I know.
"If this is a losing war, then it would be foolish to continue.
"But we were very close to victory."
The seven people present looked at him, waiting for Hong Yuan to continue.
The words he is about to say will determine the direction of this peace negotiation.
Hong Yuan said:
“Actually, we are not that close to failure, which is why the Federation is eager to sign peace negotiations.
"They have no choice but to do this, because they are the ones who can't hold on if this continues. If you know something about the situation in the outside world, you should know that except for the Northern Federation and us, other regions have fallen into deathly silence.
"But this is actually an illusion. Not long ago, there were serial assassinations of politicians in the Western Federation. You all know that it is unlikely that anything will happen to the bastards in that position, even if someone is really killed accidentally. A politician will also be found immediately.
"Because it was our companions who did this."
The old woman asked:
"How did you know?"
Hong Yuan smiled confidently:
"Everyone knows that I can move in space. Although it seems a bit bragging to say so, I have actually taken care of the safety of my companions very early, so I have enough time to run around.
“I went to various parts of the Federation to search for information.
"In addition to them, there are actually a group of hidden rebels forming underground forces in the Eastern Federation at the moment, and the Federation is not aware of their existence at all. These colleagues of ours have kept their identities secret in the past."
A young man in his twenties asked:
"The prediction machine isn't working."
Hong Yuan shook his head:
“No, and it’s more than that.
"The size of the resistance in the Northern Federation has gradually reached a point that they cannot handle, and it is becoming more and more unstoppable like a snowball. But in fact, you also know very well that the Federation has the ability to handle us. After all, even Shenxiao is in their hands. Lost.
“These three things are somewhat incredible and theoretically impossible to do.
"But they all came true, and in fact there may be countless such things happening around the world, and this is all because..."
The members of the Salvation Alliance at the table looked at each other a few times, and they had a vague sense of what Hong Yuan was going to say next.
The man's expression was a little more solemn:
"She's still with us."
The old woman raised her eyelids and glanced at him:
"Are these your speculations, or do you have any evidence?"
The middle-aged man added:
"Yes, maybe our colleagues have more vitality than imagined, but I have also heard that several other districts want to promote peace negotiations."
Hong Yuan replied:
“That’s what the Federation wants you to see, how can we see the truth in such a situation.
"But you are right. If there is no evidence, what I just said is just unrealistic speculation.
"Yes, I have evidence."
Having said this, Hong Yuan put his hand into his arms and took out a white letter:
"I got her prophecy."
The old woman opened her eyes wide, stretched out her hands tremblingly to take the letter, and stared at the contents. Several other ability users also focused their attention on her.
"It's Shenxiao's handwriting." As she spoke, the old woman handed the envelope to the woman in the dress.
She took it and looked at it a few times:
"it is true."
Several other people couldn't hold back their impulses when they heard this. They stood up one after another and walked to her side to look at the letter.
There was a prophecy left in Shenxiao's usual tone.
“Don’t be swayed by the lies of the devil, and you will lead them to me.”
Hong Yuan said:
"This is the prophecy I found."
Shen Xiao's meaning is already obvious.
The old woman looked at Hong Yuan firmly:
"What are we going to do?"
Hong Yuan looked at her and said firmly:
"We will find her."
Ah, hope...
It can even make people willingly drink poison.
