Chapter 24 Out of context (3)
origin.
Still the starting point.
The raging fire has been extinguished, and heavy rain is pouring down on the broken walls. Ant-Man moves his huge body, and his roar resounds through the sky.
An hour ago.
Xie Mian carried E Shifang and rushed towards the exit quickly. He didn't know whether the ghost wall was still there, but he had to give it a try.
When passing by the milk tea shop, Xie Mian stopped the car and took out the backpack containing the strawberry bear and roses.
With a backpack slung across his chest and E Shifang sitting behind him, the shops on both sides unfolded rapidly behind him like a watercolor painting.
The colors of the watercolor painting are rich, magnificent and eye-catching, but as the scroll gets longer, the colors begin to fade, gradually leaving only black and white.
The black is the ruins left by the raging fire, and the white is the heavy rain pouring down.
The rain doused the raging fire and patted the thick black smoke to the ground.
Ant-Man roared, raised his head, and swung down with his claws, which were covered with countless pale hands.
Xie Mian suddenly braked and turned the direction of the electric motorcycle, taking E Shifang to avoid Ant-Man's attack.
The electric motorcycle went around behind a building, and the building collapsed with a loud bang. Xie Mian took E Shifang and hid again.
"Jingyan is ineffective..."
Ant-Man's roar sounded like thunder from the sky, almost bursting people's eardrums. Xie Mian hid under a big tree holding E Shifang.
The tree cover temporarily blocked Ant-Man's vision, giving Xie Mian a moment to breathe.
"Even a huge fire can't handle it. What is its weakness?"
Xie Mian looked at Ant-Man's huge body through the treetops. Every time Ant-Man moved, the ground trembled, as if a destructive earthquake was about to erupt.
"This feeling..." Xie Mian muttered to himself.
He remembered that when he was in the welfare home, many children liked to play with ants.
They would find an ant hole, put some food at the entrance, and watch the ants carry it; or they would get a bottle of water and pour it in and around the ant hole.
The ant's body would float on the water, and they would pick up an ant and crush it between their fingertips.
When I don't want to play anymore, I stomp on the entrance of the ant hole a few times, and the ants and their nests are buried in the pile of soil and can no longer be seen.
Perhaps now he and E Shifang are those ants, and the ants have become the "people" who control everything.
"...Swap the game?"
From the moment they entered Cambridge Street, their identities changed from human beings to ants.
How can ants' time be the same as human time? The time controller here is Ant-Man, who is a "human", so in the eyes of ants, time is still.
Time, time covered by black paint...
Twisting and wriggling black...
Xie Mian suddenly understood. Those black things covering the cell phones and clocks were nothing but ants, black ants!
"Ant time... Ant time..."
His brain was working rapidly to find a solution. The rain penetrated the leaves and poured onto Xie Mian's back, forming a transparent film that seemed to be glowing.
E Shifang stared at Xie Mian intently, from the two bright red cherries to the snow-white behind that was watered.
It seemed to be trapped in a strange time and space. The people opposite, the scenery opposite, the sound of rain hitting the leaves, the roar of insect monsters... everything seemed familiar.
It was not until the heavy rain stopped and pale arms fell from the sky, grabbing Xie Mian like a net, that it suddenly woke up, and a captivating light appeared in its goose eyes.
"Discovered? Impossible. With Fluorescent here, Ant-Man can't possibly discover us. Unless..."
Xie Mian pulled E Shifang away from the noodle-like arm and ran back to a tree in the green belt.
Strawberry Bear was taken out of the schoolbag and turned over - on the back of Strawberry Bear, the dim glow of the firefly was curled up inside, motionless, as if it would go out at any time.
"How could this happen?" Xie Mian gently picked up a firefly and placed it in the palm of his hand.
The firefly no longer flickered with a yellow-green light, but was as dim as a grain of sand that could be found everywhere on the street.
"Did they leave their master for too long? Or were these glows also attacked by Ant-Man?"
Xie Mian held up the firefly on the back of his hand and asked E Shifang.
E Shifang stared into Xie Mian's eyes without saying a word, until he saw the worry hidden deep in Xie Mian's eyes, then he spoke:
"Ga ga ga ga!" She was going to die.
After spending some time with E Shifang, Xie Mian has basically understood the meaning of E Shifang's various quacks.
Therefore, after hearing Goose Shifang's call, a trace of panic appeared on his calm face, a kind of panic that he had never experienced when facing Ant-Man.
"What does dying... mean?"
“Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!”
The strength of insect energy is closely related to its followers. If the power of insect energy weakens, it means that the followers are injured.
The glow inside the strawberry bears was very weak, and some had even gone out, indicating that their owners were seriously injured and dying.
"Heh, heh."
Xie Mian took out all the fireflies in the strawberry bear. The gray, round fireflies lay in the palm of his hand, as if they would disappear in the next second.
"The glow hasn't disappeared yet. Does that mean Xiao Xing is still alive?"
Xie Mian asked E Shifang again.
He wanted to kill Ant-Man, break Ant-Man's ability, and leave here. How could he forget that the power of the fluorescent light is the same as that of the Ant-Man, and the power exists when the master is alive, and dies when the master dies.
A single leaf blocks the view!
However, since the firefly has not completely disappeared, it means that Xiao Xing still has a chance to be saved.
He had to hurry up and get out of here. He had to save Xiao Xing. This time, whether Xiao Xing agreed or not, he would take her away.
Hearing Xie Mian's repeated question, E Shifang nodded hesitantly.
Maybe it shouldn't give Xie Mian hope, but it really couldn't bear to see any sadness in Xie Mian's eyes.
Ant-Man's huge body crushed him. This time, Xie Mian did not choose to dodge. Instead, he grabbed the hook on Ant-Man's foot and climbed up quickly along Ant-Man's foot.
His target is Ant-Man's eye.
Since the fire can't burn through Ant-Man's skin, let's start with his eyes.
The eyes are often the softest part of a living being.
The pale arm danced towards Xie Mian, but Xie Mian dodged left and right, avoiding the attack of the arm with an extremely flexible posture.
Just as Xie Mian jumped from his arm to Ant-Man's abdomen, a human hand suddenly grabbed Xie Mian's back.
The nails on people's hands were extremely sharp, and five bloody scratches appeared on Xie Mian's back.
Goose Shifang was watching from below with bloodshot eyes. He spread his wings and grabbed Ant-Man's hind legs, then jumped up along the needle-like hairs on his hind legs.
Ant-Man's attention was all on Xie Mian, so he didn't care about the fleas crawling on his body.
After jumping onto Ant-Man's shoulders, Goose Shifang unleashed his insect energy "gravity", and Ant-Man, who was as big as a mountain, fell to his knees in an instant.
Ant-Man knelt on the ground, roaring, his eyes rolling, and grabbed Goose Shifang.
Shock flashed in E Shifang's eyes.
