Chapter 21

In the Zerg hive, the white-haired demon suddenly stood up.

The chains that bound him slammed against the wall and iron bars, making a loud noise.

The other high-level Zerg who were arguing fiercely were stunned and fell into a brief silence.

A Zerg jailer was about to go forward to check.

However, looking at the white-haired demon with his head lowered, unable to make out his specific expression due to the fallen hair on his forehead, the four-winged insect felt increasingly uneasy for some reason, and he was about to speak to stop him.

“Dang—”

This was the sound of all the chains breaking, and the chains fell heavily to the ground as a pile of waste.

The next second, the jailer seemed to be hit by an invisible force, and flew backwards and smashed through the opposite wall, revealing the exit.

No one could see how the other party came out of the prison. It was as if he just walked through a mirror or water, and the devil was already standing outside the cell.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise and confusion. It seemed as if something extremely intense was stirring in the air, and everything began to get out of control.

"...Get lost." Finally, the white-haired devil suddenly spoke, his Adam's apple rolling, his voice low and dry like someone who had lost his voice for a long time.

In that instant, all plans, goals, and intentions were thrown out of my mind. They were nothing but idle exile, a madness that paralyzed my self.

And now——

The four-winged insect facing him suddenly took a step back, as if shocked by the unprecedented strong and intense emotion in the devil's eyes.

He saw a scorching dormant volcano officially awaken at this moment, spewing out tremendous heat, and the manic power turned into a sweeping blaze, even burning itself out madly.

--finally……

——Found you.

A smile suddenly appeared on the devil's exceptionally handsome face. No, perhaps it couldn't be called a smile. It was an uncontrollable moment, twitching the corners of his lips and the meridians.

It is the tip of the iceberg that is finally revealed as the intense emotions that have nowhere to vent inside are difficult to suppress.

And above the sky of the insect nest, the hovering dragon shadow suddenly swung its tail.

Suddenly, everyone heard a long dragon roar. From higher up in the sky, it was incredibly loud, shaking the heavens and the earth.

*

The unshakable laws roared above countless doors, rolling like thunderclouds.

On the blue sea, Lu Mi stood in front of the abyss crack and raised the silver tip of his spear.

Suddenly, the calm sea surface was shaken and suddenly lifted up in the air like a curtain.

As the high waves rushed towards them, Salien in the aircraft widened his eyes, and Grant had already buried his head in his seat with his hands covering his face.

At this moment, everyone felt an absurd sense of the world turning upside down. When they looked up, they could even see flying fish swimming in the huge waves leaping over them.

“Crash!”

One second later in slow motion, the sea water fell back into the sea, and huge splashes of water rose up with a loud bang.

The aircraft shook, and Grant raised his head tentatively. "Is it over?"

"...It's over." Salien moved his lips, feeling that after meeting Lu Mi, he should have gotten used to this kind of reconstruction of his world view.

...What the hell!

Could you please tell me before making such a big noise next time? I almost scared him so much that he braked and stepped on the accelerator!

"That's all." Lu Mi withdrew his hand, looked at the huge crack in the sky that was no longer visible, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, while putting away his gun, he glanced to the west - ah, it seemed like... I seemed to have heard a familiar cry just now?

But it shouldn't be like this. It doesn't make sense for me to be here at this time.

...An illusion?

Ji Zhou, who was witnessing all this, took a deep breath. A certain belief that was originally faint became slightly brighter at this moment -

If it's this person, maybe it really can...

"What should we do next?" Ji Zhou asked in a deep voice, bringing Lu Mi back to his senses.

Lu Mi noticed that the man lowered his head slightly when he spoke, and his eyes were fixed on him, and he seemed to be more serious and careful than before.

Although it was a little strange, he didn't care and answered decisively with clear thoughts.

"Return to the Zerg Hive. The Zerg Queen must have noticed something is amiss. Your brothers and sisters might be in danger."

In fact, it was just as Lu Mi expected.

After an almost frantic search in the west, the Zerg Queen found no one.

There wasn't even a trace of the target's presence!

At this time, the Zerg Queen's face was hideous, and she was gasping for breath because of her immense anger that had nowhere to vent.

"……Where!"

"Where on earth are they—!"

"Queen." At this moment, an earworm came up tremblingly and whispered, "Could they have deceived you?"

The Zerg Queen's expression suddenly froze, and she stared at him like a devil, "What did you say?"

"I, I mean...!" The earworm's desire to survive was overwhelming. "Those kids of yours are acting a little strangely! Is there something else going on?"

At this time, the Zerg Queen, who was full of anger, finally calmed down a little, and her huge compound eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, a red-haired Zerg suddenly flew up from the sea.

This Zerg was the one that Lu Mi had knocked into the sea.

"Queen Mother, I saw that damn human running towards the east. You are chasing him in the wrong direction!" The red-haired Zerg was soaked all over. After he finally crawled out of the sea, he had been chasing the Queen all the way.

"...Oh? Really?" The Zerg Queen looked at the red-haired Zerg nodding repeatedly, muttering "the direction is wrong" back and forth. Then, the Zerg Queen suddenly laughed, "Is that so? You are a good child."

The red-haired Zerg was overjoyed, as if they saw hope of replacing Ji Zhou and becoming the new pillar.

This ambition even outweighed the fear of facing the Queen. The red-haired Zerg quickly said, "Yes! Queen Mother, I am different from those traitors. I will always be loyal to you..."

"Squeak—"

A huge insect leg pierced his body.

The red-haired Zerg's expression was forever frozen in ecstasy and astonishment at not having time to react.

The next second, the Zerg Queen threw his body out without even glancing at the splash of water that fell into the sea. "But now, I don't believe any of them."

Then, the Zerg Queen's eyes were cold as she quickly issued an order: "Return at full speed now, to the nest."

Then, it just so happened that—

The two groups heading towards the insect nest from the west and the east met a thousand meters in front of the base camp.

This is truly a scene of fate.

Salien and Grant in the aircraft both changed color instantly.

"What the hell! What the hell is that!" Grant screamed.

At the end of the distant horizon, a huge dark cloud was approaching at an extremely fast speed, getting closer and closer.

When they were about to arrive in front of them, they saw that the dark cloud was actually a swarm of insects that covered the sky.

Many legs, wings, fangs, venom, stingers... all the weapons that insects can think of are endowed on this densely packed army of Zerg, each of which is two people tall.

However, the most terrifying thing was the behemoth in the center of their cluster. Its enormous compound eyes were fixed firmly on the tiny aircraft, not even the size of its pupils, revealing terrifying rage and malice.

Saleen's fingers gripping the steering wheel went limp, and his lips trembled violently. "So this is the kind of monster we have to deal with...?"

What made him think he was ready? Was it Lu Mi? Damn, he shouldn't have come to this auction! What on earth had gone wrong?

The Zerg Queen looked at the familiar figure on the other side, grinned slightly, and spoke word by word with an expression of immense excitement and joy.

"Oh, isn't this Ji Zhou! The Queen Mother has been looking for you for a long time--!"

The noble boy Grant transformed into a screaming chicken and cursed again, "Damn it, it can talk!!"

Ji Zhou's lips were immediately pursed into a straight line. He subconsciously wanted to stand in front of the aircraft, but was stopped by Lu Mi.

"Leave it to me." Lu Mi said slowly as he looked at this unprecedented huge monster.

Ji Zhou's fingertips twitched, he looked at him deeply, then took a step back obediently, hovering behind the silver-eyed young man, as if following him.

At this time, the Zerg Queen finally turned her gaze to the ants in his eyes.

"Is this what you rely on to betray me?" The Zerg Queen could barely conceal her confusion and mockery. "A human!?"

"Ah, it's indeed a human." Lu Mi rubbed the handle of his gun, then suddenly raised the tip of the gun and pointed it directly at the other party, raising his eyebrows lazily, "But, it's a human who can blow your insect head off."

“…”

How long has it been since anyone dared to speak to Him like this!

The Zerg Queen was trembling all over, her eyes suddenly widened, and energy suddenly gathered around her that made Ji Zhou terrified.

"careful……!"

Before Ji Zhou could finish his words, a bright blade of light shot out from the Zerg Queen's mouth.

At first glance, the light blade seemed to be about a hundred meters long. It swept across the air, making a sonic boom. It looked as if it was going to wipe out all the people on the aircraft in front of it.

Grant, slumped in his chair, suddenly rushed to the driver's seat, "Quick, quick, get out of the way! Don't get hit!"

Salien's vision was completely drowned by the white light of the attack. He turned the aircraft madly and roared through gritted teeth: "Shut up!"

Outside the soaring aircraft, Lu Mi stood at the top, motionless as a mountain. He was about to respond when he suddenly felt a familiar yet strange fluctuation in space and time.

...Huh? Isn't this it?

He couldn't help showing a look of surprise for a moment.

The next second, countless mirrors quickly appeared in front of Lu Mi, and in the blink of an eye they were arranged into an extra-large mirror.

The dazzling white light suddenly descended like thunder from the sky, illuminating the dark sea as bright as day, and then rushed towards the huge mirror that covered the sky and the earth without hesitation, slamming into each other with a loud bang.

The two people in the aircraft had already closed their eyes and were waiting to die. Who knew——

“Boom!”

The blade of light that passed through the mirror was suddenly transferred to the back of the aircraft, slashing towards the empty sea surface with great force, splashing waves tens of meters high on the sea, and directly chiseled a huge round hole in the sea surface. Even the suddenly falling sea water could not fill it for a while.

"I, we are not dead?" Grant opened his mouth to breathe, then he was ecstatic.

Saleen calmed his pounding heart, feeling surprised and confused. Was his skill useless? Was he being diverted by some kind of spatial force?

"...It's you!" The Zerg Queen looked at this familiar skill, her face filled with fury, as if she wanted to devour him alive. "That demon who killed my army is in cahoots with you!"

At this time, Lu Mi opened his mouth - I want to say that this was not done by me, do you believe it?

Lu Mi followed the mirror that suddenly appeared and blocked the attack for him, and slowly looked towards the insect nest not far away.

There, a huge gap was torn in the huge nest at some point, and gusts of strong wind rushed in through the gap.

Even though they were far away, Lu Mi's eyesight allowed him to clearly see the figure standing in front of the gap -

The corners of the white-haired demon's clothes fluttered in the strong wind, and his fingertips still emitted the fluctuations of distorting space after he had just used his power.

A group of subdued high-level Zerg were lying on the ground with their arms and legs spread out, groaning and trying to look over here, extremely anxious and worried about the increasingly chaotic situation.

The next moment, Lu Mi was caught off guard and met the devil's eyes.

For the demon of "mirror and space", his eyes are the most powerful mirror he can use.

Those colorful pupils were like crystal windows in a cathedral illuminated by sunlight, and the refracting irises were like a kaleidoscope with gorgeous patterns.

The moment they looked at each other, Lu Mi felt the fluctuation of power, but he did not resist.

Then, his consciousness was dragged into the mirror world.

Here——

Countless mirror spaces are arranged in a disorderly manner, like an endless mirror maze.

Each mirror reflects the figure of the silver-eyed young man. Looking around, it seems as if countless of him exist at the same time, creating a weird and terrifying absurdity and mystery.

This was not Lu Mi's first time here.

The next second, a cold body approached from behind, and another soft breath suddenly sounded beside his ear.

"Look." The man whispered in his ear, "I found you."

Lu Mi tilted his head slightly. On both sides of him, rows of mirrors were showing the scene at the moment—

The white-haired demon was holding the silver-eyed youth in his arms. His eyes were slightly lowered, flickering with ambiguous emotions. He leaned most of his weight on the silver-eyed youth, like a silent sculpture.

"No." Lu Mi tilted his head slightly without changing his expression, raised his hand and reached into the mirror on the left.

He said, “I was the one who found you.”

As the silver-eyed young man exerted a little force with his hands, the mirror began to ripple slightly, and then a figure was pulled out of the mirror. At the same time, the figure that was hugging him suddenly turned into shattered mirror pieces.

Among the falling fragments, Lu Mi saw that each fragment reflected a memory image.

In those images, there is basically a figure of a silver-eyed young man, sitting or standing, still or moving.

This even includes the first time we met——

The silver-eyed young man, who had not yet obtained any special powers, finally killed an abyss monster after fighting for several hours.

The power of the abyss creatures over humans is almost overwhelming, but the young man is truly fearless and almost crazy in his ruthlessness.

The bodies of the dead abyss creatures were almost all covered with bloody holes pierced by daggers, including the eyes, hearts, soles of the feet, abdomen, and finger joints... no vulnerable places were spared.

Correspondingly, the silver-eyed young man was also covered in wounds, but his expression showed no concern at all, and he casually used a dagger to pick off the venom-soaked flesh.

Bright red blood flowed down his eyebrows and eyes. He narrowed his beautiful silver eyes slightly because of the pain, and a sense of unsatisfied satisfaction was faintly revealed in his empty eyes.

Restrained and lazy, mixed with a breathtaking beauty.

"……Hello."

At this moment, the silver-eyed young man who was casually bandaging his wound suddenly spoke and looked over here.

"What are you looking at over there?"

Where his gaze fell, a pool of blood suddenly began to shake, like a suddenly confused heart.

The young man lazily raised his eyelids.

"Don't hide, you've been over there since just now..." He raised the corner of his lips impudently, "I've noticed you a long time ago."

"..." After a moment, the white-haired demon emerged from the water.

The two looked at each other from afar. In the silent air, the devil's beating heartbeat echoed in his ears like an unbalanced melody.

"...How did you find me?" After a long while, the white-haired devil put one hand on his chest and asked softly.

"This, intuition?" The silver-eyed young man breathed softly, leaned against a rock to rest, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you want to try again?"

Every time after that, the demon was easily found by the human youth, as if it could not escape no matter what.

Yes, from that time on...

In the mirrored space, the white-haired devil looked at the young man who was staring at him, and smiled with a sigh.

"Well, you found me."

A burning passion appeared between his weary brows, and he knelt on one knee and said.

"I'm here to greet you, Master."

The author has something to say: Ji Zhou, who is still outside at this time: Hurry up and wake up Lu Mi.
