Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the raging winds seemed to gradually subside, and their oppressive force on Gu Qingwan lessened.
After she felt the immense pressure on her body ease, she hurriedly got up, threw herself behind Jiang Cheng, and clung tightly to his neck, refusing to let go even as his thick, warm blood splattered all over her body.
"Boss, hang in there!"
Gu Qingwan's beautiful eyes were filled with despair.
Even though she knew what was going to happen next, and roughly understood that all of this was inevitable, seeing Jiang Cheng in such pain still caused her unbearable heartache, as if a dull knife was stabbing into her heart.
"Ahhh!!"
Jiang Cheng's agonizing screams echoed throughout the space. Even though Gu Qingwan kept encouraging him, he was on the verge of going crazy as muscle fibers, blood vessel walls, and even the colorless, transparent vitreous humor of his eyeballs were peeled away inch by inch.
This pain is terrifying.
It was ten thousand times more terrifying than any extreme punishment he had ever heard of.
Moreover, under these circumstances, Jiang Cheng was completely conscious. For a moment, he even felt that his soul had detached from his body and was simply gazing silently at everything from the air. But the pain still rubbed against his nerves with exceptional clarity.
He's going crazy...
If he doesn't stop soon, he might really be driven to the brink of collapse...
The wind gradually stopped.
His torso was completely devoid of any biological tissue; only a stark white skeleton floated silently in the red and white space.
The boundaries of space began to twist eerily again. The blood gushing from Jiang Cheng's body seemed to possess a soul of its own, writhing and crawling across the walls, floor, and ceiling, finally converging in the southeast corner of the room. A drop, a stream, and finally a bright red creek, rushing towards the distant corner.
Finally, the space returned to its pure white and flawless state.
The stark white skeleton in the very center no longer seems out of place.
The instant after all the blood disappeared, a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared.
It started as a tiny black dot, about the size of a finger, but then, with the swirling of the vortex, it expanded and spread outwards in concentric circles, shimmering with an eerie luster. As a result of this vortex, the space around it began to flash with iridescent light, a truly beautiful sight.
However, Jiang Cheng could neither see nor hear anything at this moment.
Gu Qingwan anxiously looked around, still clinging tightly to Jiang Cheng, whose body had already ossified.
She was just about to pull him down from the air temporarily to find an opportunity to leave when, in the very next second, she was suddenly sucked into the dark vortex.
"ah!"
Gu Qingwan slipped and was instantly pulled by a powerful suction force, while the ossified Jiang Cheng had no chance to resist. The two of them, or rather, they could no longer be called two people, were immediately swallowed by the vortex.
"Whoosh!"
The vortex closed instantly and vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
In an instant, the last few wisps of breeze in the space vanished completely, and the silence was so profound that even the sound of a pin dropping would echo.
It's like...
Nothing happened just now.
The pure white here remains as serene as ever.
After the pain subsided, Jiang Cheng felt that he had slept a very deep and peaceful sleep.
This sleep was more restful than any he had ever had before, allowing him to completely relax. Every muscle in his body, large and small, gradually loosened, and he no longer needed to do anything. His mind was also blank; he didn't need to think about anything that required effort. Everything in the world was irrelevant to him.
plan.
science and technology.
Technology tree.
Even everything that existed in his mind...
At this point, none of that mattered to him anymore.
"Whoosh... thud."
With a gentle breeze, he fell to the ground and transformed into a small stone in the valley.
The muddy soil around Jiang Cheng was wet and cool, making him feel a little chilly, but the chill wasn't uncomfortable. It was just a faint feeling clinging to him, and there wasn't even a real chill.
That's a bit strange.
Only then did he realize that he did not belong to the category of living beings, which was why all his perceptions had changed so unrealistically, and were not the same as before.
Jiang Cheng was trying to feel the changes happening around his body when suddenly there was a roar in the sky, and dark clouds accompanied by lightning piled up and darkened above him.
Raindrops began to seep through the clouds and slide down.
One drop, two drops.
Then came the sudden downpour.
"Splash—"
Raindrops lashed down on Jiang Cheng, splashing mud around him and threatening to bury him. But he couldn't move; he could only passively endure it all.
Fortunately, his senses are not very sensitive right now, so all of this is nothing to him, just something that seems to float around him in a detached manner.
Feeling the wind and rain battering the city, I suddenly felt a strange sense of peace.
The soft drizzle fell incessantly, like silk threads, enveloping everything in the world, as if to wash away the past glories of Jiang Cheng.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng felt a peace and tranquility he had never experienced in his previous twenty years of life. It was as if everything had been peeled away from his mind—not just worries, but all the thoughts he had pondered. At this moment, Jiang Cheng was nothing more than a useless little stone.
The sounds of wind and rain around me were just background noise, and the fragrance of flowers and birdsong were also insignificant.
