destiny
Labril knew he was dying. After all, the heart was the organ that transformed energy for a psychic. Without it, a psychic was doomed to die.
He also knew that if his abilities were stronger and his energy limit was higher, there might still be a chance of survival.
This was the third time he regretted not training as hard as those psychics without family background.
"Grandpa...I really...know I was wrong..."
Ying Yungui was closest to him and heard his last whisper before he died: "Ying...I'm sorry...before..." Then Labriel lost his breath.
Ying Yungui knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't intend to forgive him. However, Labriel didn't need forgiveness either.
"Execute Bai Wan immediately!" Lynch Filler emphasized the order again. This time, without the interference of the stone platform, everyone could hear it and carry it out.
But the live broadcast to the association was cut off. Lynch Filler, the decision-making group, and thousands of other psychics and non-conscious staff members found that they could not receive any information from the island.
Christopher had already fainted in the corner, and the venue was in turmoil. Some people wanted to wake him up, some wanted to kill Bai Wan first, and some were concerned about the situation at the association.
Bai Wan knelt on the ground, her arms hanging weakly. She looked up at the purple-black sky. A hint of coolness penetrated into her left eye socket and fell straight into the void, making her brain, which had been numb for a long time, clear up for a moment.
It's raining.
For some reason, Ying Yungui was so shocked by the scene of her looking up to the sky and praying that he didn't take action immediately.
The darkness in the sky and sea dissipated simultaneously, revealing their original appearance. The purple flame barrier cast by the association disappeared.
A person appeared in the air above the venue.
"Destiny, recognition." No one heard the words he said clearly, but everyone stopped at the same time.
The murderous intent in the eyes of those who went towards Bai Wan disappeared, those who went towards Christopher turned back in confusion, and those who tried to communicate with the association withdrew their hands.
Time didn't stand still, and space didn't freeze. But at this moment, the individual consciousnesses in the meeting hall no longer differed. Everyone's thoughts became the same - let Bai Wan leave.
...
...
Ying Yungui saw someone appear next to him and Bai Wan, but he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.
"He wants to take her away." Ying Yungui was clearly aware of this, but he couldn't think of stopping him no matter what.
The man stretched out his hand towards Bai Wan...
Ying Yungui couldn't accept that he couldn't do anything and just watched the person being taken away. A strong will to fight against his own thoughts surged through his body, prompting him to raise his hand and point at the person who suddenly appeared.
"Oh? You want to defy fate?" The man was a little surprised when he noticed Ying Yungui's actions, then he thought of something and said, "Let me give it a try."
——
Ying Yungui opened his eyes and found himself at the edge of a cliff, with a sea of clouds below the cliff.
This is... the Lincaros Mountains.
After Ying Yungui reacted, his breathing became rapid and his eyeballs quickly became bloodshot.
Do you like the scenery here?
[Just like it. I also like this place. It’s very free and close to the sky.]
【You must always be free. 】
【Goodbye, Yungui.】
No, no, no, no way...
Why do I remember this?
Why should I remember this?
I don't want to remember this.
don't want.
don't want.
don't want.
Don't leave again.
Ying Yungui couldn't shake the voice in his head, so he could only run desperately. But no matter how hard he tried, he never felt tired at all, and he could still clearly hear Shi Youchen's voice.
He arrived in front of a completely dead grove, and a man walked out of it. He had black hair, dark eyes, and a cold expression. It was Shi Youchen.
"Listen to me." Shi Youchen held Ying Yungui's cold hand in his warm palm. "Labriel simply doesn't have enough energy to summon the Hun Tian Lock again to seal it. He will escape before reaching the target. If you and Kulin go further east, you will encounter greater trouble."
"Yun Gui, what you need to do next is to collect evidence of his mission failure and then pass the evidence to the decision-making group of the headquarters."
"Remember, don't trust anyone or anything except yourself."
Shi Youchen looked into those bright purple eyes and smiled, a rare moment. His inky black pupils seemed to be dotted with starlight, and the slightly curved eyebrows and eyes were mesmerizing.
Ying Yungui was willing to do anything for him as long as he could keep smiling like this.
"There is a beautiful scenery over there. Do you want to go with me to see it?" Shi Youchen invited with a smile.
Ying Yungui couldn't possibly refuse such an invitation.
Soon the two of them arrived at the edge of the cliff. Below them was a thin sea of clouds, with occasional spots of green showing through, like an ink painting.
"Do you like the scenery here?" Shi Youchen looked at the floating sea of clouds and asked the person standing next to him.
"..." Ying Yungui didn't even realize that he nodded. He was just led away by Shi Youchen in a daze, his eyes never moving away.
Ying Yungui held Shi Youchen's hand tightly, but Shi Youchen still jumped down.
——
Ying Yungui opened his eyes and found himself at the edge of a cliff, with a sea of clouds below the cliff.
...
This time, Ying Yungui ran to the edge of the grove as quickly as possible and met Shi Youchen. He then rejected Shi Youchen's invitation to see the scenery and tried to take him away from the Lincaros Mountains.
But the place they finally arrived at was still that cliff and sea of clouds.
Shi Youchen still jumped down.
——
Ying Yungui opened his eyes again, and the cliff was still around him, and the sea of clouds was still below the cliff.
He still saw Shi Youchen walking out of the woods, and still chose to follow Shi Youchen back to the cliff.
"Do you like the scenery here?" Shi Youchen looked at the floating sea of clouds and asked the person standing next to him.
Ying Yungui's eyes turned red and he said, "I like it. It doesn't matter where I am with you." Then, without waiting for Shi Youchen to continue, he walked forward and hugged the person in his arms, lowered his head, and brushed his lips against Shi Youchen's earlobe.
"Wait a little longer, Youchen. Give me a little more time."
Ying Yungui's breath sprayed into Shi Youchen's ears, but the latter did not react at all.
Ying Yungui closed his eyes, one hand around the shoulders of the person in his arms, the other holding the person's head. "Let me do it this time, okay?" The sound of bones breaking rang out, and Shi Youchen's body fell limply into Ying Yungui's arms, no longer breathing.
To escape from the illusion, one must find the key. In this illusion that repeats that day forever, the key is Shi Youchen himself.
Ying Yungui must kill "Shi Youchen" here with his own hands before he can get out.
He knew from the beginning that this was an illusion, but he still couldn't bear to refuse any of Shi Youchen's requests. He tried other methods, but none of them could change Shi Youchen's dead end.
The reason why Ying Yungui chose to do it himself when he opened his eyes for the third time was because he had experienced this day countless times many years ago, many years ago, in the health consultation office of the association headquarters.
——
Ying Yungui opened his eyes. There were no cliffs or sea of clouds around. This was the venue for the Orb selection competition.
Bai Wan had disappeared, and Labriel was lying on the side covered in blood. There was no barrier above the venue, and no live broadcast connecting to the association.
But the surroundings were silent, as quiet as if no one was around. However, Ying Yungui clearly saw the participating teams and their leaders, especially the guy named Sasa and his old leader.
"Those guys from the Maintenance Bureau, I must bring them back to the Association this time." Ying Yungui thought, and saw the expressions of Sasa and Luan Jiang. "Why are they...looking at me like that?"
Ying Yungui's consciousness was a little confused as he had not yet completely recovered from the mental shock brought by the illusion.
Shi Youchen and 07 had the same expression. Or rather, everyone who was conscious in the venue, except Ying Yungui, had the same expression.
What happened to them...
Ying Yungui turned around and saw Zhao Heng Filer with bulging eyes and twisted neck, his whole body limp and falling down.
"..." "He..." "He killed Team Leader Zhao Heng!" "The people of the Feller family are dead!"
Shi Youchen came back to his senses from his shock and knew what situation Ying Yungui was about to face.
Because he really saw Zhao Heng Filer die from the rapid compression of space, and the person who did it was undoubtedly Ying Yungui.
"Don't go over there." 07 stopped Shi Youchen. "Everyone saw it. We can't hide it anymore."
Shi Youchen couldn't break free from 07, so he turned around and glared at him: "Let go!"
07's eyes twitched, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know how much trouble that would cause?"
The broken part of Shi Youchen's wrist began to ache. "I just know that the association won't let him go. Let go!"
07 intercepted Shi Youchen's energy rushing towards his wrist and gritted his teeth in hatred: "If you use 'Time Acceleration', it will really cripple this hand, and I can't save it."
Shi Youchen's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he wanted to turn around and ask He Xian and Yan Zhiyuan for help.
"Don't look for them anymore. I've already sent them back." 07 pulled Shi Youchen closer to him and whispered in his ear, "Calm down. Trust me. I'll find a way."
Shi Youchen looked at the pupils that were beginning to turn from black to white, and his voice trembled a little: "Really?"
07 comforted him and said, "Really, come back with me first."
...
The first to react were Luo Zhao and Lin Zhouze. Luo Zhao ran to Ying Yungui's side, checking him for injuries. Lin Zhouze's brain chip had long been disabled by the stone platform, and he could only infer from the changes in the surrounding environment and the details that something serious had happened to Ying Yungui.
So he could only command his teammates: "Mai Er, Lu Zhiqi, Pei Chanbai, you must protect the scene and don't let anyone rush in and destroy it."
——
At the association's headquarters, in the president's meeting room, besides Lynch Filer and Chief Ryan, there was also a man sitting there, the chief of the Visa clan.
"The Lion Totem certainly resonated with her. She must be a remnant of the 'Cleansing Plan'."
"It seems that the Maintenance Bureau is indeed the gathering place for those people."
"We can't let them disrupt the current order. We must start cleaning up."
...
The three people who currently stand at the top of the power in the entire association were talking about Bai Wan's matter, and the next moment they received a secret report from their family at the same time.
"Ying Yungui killed Zhao Heng Feller?!"
