CH 30

There's still a snake...

Huai Shi under the mask couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Under the control of the red gloves, the giant python slowly tightened, as if it was going to slowly break his bones bit by bit, even specifically binding his current left hand, not giving him any chance to move.

The handgun fell to the ground.

"I admit, I almost...lost to you, just a little bit..."

Red gloves dragged his wounded leg and staggered forward, his fierce face full of chilling gloom and cruelty. "But, your fancy tricks end here."

As he spoke, he slowly lifted the fish tank in his hand, showing him the last surviving fish fry inside.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. After all, even I don't have many chances to turn sublimators into bait..."

As he spoke, the source material constantly emerged from the fish tank in his hand.

Red gloves continued to split a part of his own soul, turning it into bait, nurturing the fish fry inside. In an instant, the pink goldfish rapidly swelled up, turning into a dark purple color, with bulging giant fish eyes full of blood vessels, staring straight at Huai Shi.

The fact that the fish fry had been catalyzed to a degree sufficient to parasitize sublimators had obviously overdrawn a lot of Red Gloves' energy. His face was already bloodless, and his footsteps staggered. He could feel his consciousness becoming dizzy and his body approaching its limit.

Thinking that a newly promoted sublimator could push him into such a situation, he couldn't help but feel sad from the bottom of his heart.

But now is not the time to be weak.

He raised his hand, suddenly punched Huai Shi in the face, and then another punch, smashing the funny mask and revealing Huai Shi's young face.

"It's you?"

He was stunned, recognizing the young man in front of him. Immediately, his gaze became more sinister. "It was a huge mistake not to kill you back then! Fortunately, it's not too late to make up for it now..."

"Big brother, you talk too much. If you want to kill, just do it quickly."

As if unable to bear the entanglement of the python, Huai Shi's face was full of snot and tears, as if he had been crying from the pain of his wounds.

"Come on, even if it takes eighteen years, no, seventeen years, you'll still be a true man!"

Red gloves sneered.

Seventeen years? He doesn't have seventeen years left. After the goldfish devours his soul, Huai Shi will become an empty living corpse.

He raised his left hand and pressed it suddenly on Huai Shi's forehead, and the goldfish in the fish tank disappeared instantly.

Huai Shi let out a scream.

"Scream, scream...soon, your five senses will be devoured, and you won't feel any pain anymore."Red gloves laughed heartily, but looking at the chaotic scene around him in the pouring rain, he couldn't help but feel sad again. A feeling of being far from home emerged from his heart.

This was not his hometown after all. Ah, how he missed the moist forest and those little mice...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

But immediately, he was startled to sense where the sadness was coming from... That python was spasming, convulsing as if crying, even struggling to hold onto its prey.

But he didn't have time to care about the snake now, because at this moment, he suddenly remembered his life of wandering and the heavy price he paid to infiltrate the realm after betraying Rome.

Intense sadness overwhelmed him, causing him to shed two lines of bloody tears uncontrollably.

"What's going on?"

He looked at the tears in his hand in astonishment, struggling to restrain the increasingly intense sadness and pain in his heart.

"Ah, it's just a... humidifier, don't mind it."

In the writhing of the sorrowful python, Huai Shi grinned and finally freed his left hand, opening his waterproof jacket to reveal the Coke bottle.

Taped to his bulletproof vest, it had a portable humidifier attached to it, continuously spraying gray mist.

At this moment, Huai Shi was grateful to Liu Dongli, that scumbag who complained about the dry weather and insisted on buying this portable humidifier.

All the ash he had created in these days, as well as 400 milliliters of pure water, had all been poured into the bottle. The two were mixed together, creating a brand new otaku happiness drink.

From the beginning until now, it had been quietly running, but the rain was too dense, delaying its effect. After Huai Shi had procrastinated for so long, the long accumulation finally erupted completely.

Now, there was a snake and you, two different kinds of sadness.

It was simply double the happiness!

With severe pain in his forehead, Huai Shi shed tears and clenched his fist, summoning his axe, adjusting the angle, and hitting his temple with the back of the axe.

Bang!

He felt dizzy.

What was even stronger was the indescribable anger and madness burning from the depths of his soul, as if turning his whole body into a simmering copper pot.

The sharp impact was unreservedly transmitted through the fish tank to Red Gloves' consciousness, as if a broken clock was being struck by a hammer, and in the buzzing vibration, black blood seeped from his ears and nose again.

Immediately after, the goldfish that had burrowed into his brain began to convulse wildly, constantly trying to crash out of his body and escape."You've come all this way, why rush to leave?"

Huai Shi gritted his teeth and raised the axe to his forehead, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The goldfish convulsed wildly and soon stopped moving.

Feeling nauseous, Huai Shi opened his mouth and spit out the purple-black goldfish. Then he raised his axe and chopped it up!

The body in the red gloves shook violently, as if being electrocuted. Another crack appeared on the fish tank.

But it wasn't over yet.

Huai Shi turned and looked at the writhing python on the ground, aimed at its head, and slowly lifted his axe to strike.

A sound like an exploding balloon came from the red gloves. There were no more goldfish in his fish tank, and it was covered in cracks.

After the last bit of incense dissipated, the pain of his shattered soul erupted from his consciousness.

He roared in agony, bent down, picked up his gun from the ground, and fired at Huai Shi repeatedly until the entire magazine was empty.

But under the heavy rain, he could hardly aim due to the pain, and instead hit the sports car behind Huai Shi that had crashed into a container.

The sound was loud enough to send Liu Dongli back to the ICU. The luxurious dashboard was completely smashed into a pile of junk.

Rainwater poured into the car through the broken front window, and the short-circuited sparks kept flying. For a moment, he didn't know what triggered it, and the radio started playing a jumbled mess of noise and even started playing a CD on its own.

The expensive car stereo that he had once paid a lot of money for was completely out of tune, with high and low frequencies mixed together, and even the sound of the electric guitar was muffled.

"We talk of the past and all its glory, on the stairway to heaven on either side..."

Through layers of rain, the singer's voice sounded like a ghost wandering between dust and tombstones: "I thought you were already dead, died alone, a long, long time ago..."

In the midst of the intense darkness, the man in the red gloves staggered backwards, relying on the container, gasping for breath.

He no longer had the strength to escape.

In the end, he fell into the hands of the Astronomical Society.

"You win."

He threw away his gun and looked coldly at Huai Shi. "Whether it's the Lunar Prison or the Abyssal Cage, you can throw me anywhere you want, but don't expect to get anything out of me."

In the silence, only the sound of rain remained.

Huai Shi seemed to not have heard him, just staring blankly at the broken horn in the sports car.

"David Bowie?"He couldn't help but admire Lao Liu's taste. Although he looked like a crude and tasteless prostitute who only knew how to listen to country disco, as long as you loved David Bowie, we were friends!

Unfortunately, his friend was now lying in the intensive care unit.

So...

"Don't say those boring things anymore, okay?"

In the throes of pain and convulsions, he turned his head and sighed wearily, "I didn't come here to take you somewhere."

"I just want to kill you, or be killed by you..."

Either you die.

Or I die.

It's that simple.

In the silence of their gaze, the twisted face behind the red gloves gradually regained its calm. The shattered face was left with only coldness and an indescribable ferocity.

"Another madman? Good..."

He gritted his teeth and took off his broken coat, revealing his bandaged upper body. Under the bandages, the muscles that were riddled with wounds began to bulge.

He beckoned to Huai Shi with a hooked hand.

"Come!"

In that moment, in the pouring rain, the axe blade swung down!

In a daze, Huai Shi felt as if the axe blade had struck something hard. Then, he couldn't help but instinctively...let go and take a step back.

In that moment, he only saw a flash of iron follow the angle of the handle and flick up, cutting through his hair that was blowing in the wind.

He was only a hair away from losing his remaining left hand and eye in that one strike.

It wasn't until now that Huai Shi saw the dagger in the red gloves.

The dagger, which was originally hidden on the inside of his arm, was thrown out with a simple motion and landed in his palm. It agilely spun around and appeared in his other hand.

Like magic.

He was under constant attack.

The muscles under the red gloves were oozing blood again, and the effects of the silver blood potion had been completely destroyed, but there was no sign of stopping.

The direction of the attack was not Huai Shi's vulnerable points exposed outside of his bulletproof vest, but his left hand!

The only thing in the red gloves' mind at this moment, besides the indelible killing intent, was intense fear.

No matter what, he absolutely couldn't let Huai Shi's weapon hit him... That axe-like thing not only had physical killing power, but also had power against source material, producing a similar effect to a soul impact.

A terrifying attack that targeted both the soul and the flesh.

If it didn't look so much like a stabbing sword, he would have suspected that the weapon in Huai Shi's hand was the famous border relic, the Ashes of Return.Now, the Holy Mark's state can no longer withstand the use of the Dissolving Skill. If he is hit by Huai Shi's attacks a few more times, his soul will definitely collapse completely.

However, the more he forcefully attacks, the more he doubts the skills he has honed for so many years.

Although Huai Shi is extremely clumsy and embarrassed, every time he is about to make a sure-kill attack, he always manages to clumsily dodge it, and even narrowly avoids being hit by the axe several times.

His skills are obviously that of a novice... Is it because his intuition has become as sharp as a beast's, or is it just pure luck?

Once again, his piercing attack targeting Huai Shi's left eye fails.

Why was it dodged again?

If Huai Shi knew what he was thinking, he would probably answer him: Maybe it's because you've died too many times?
