Chapter 088 Helping Hands
sonorous!
The iron chain was locked together, and each link was tightened inwards.
Crunch, crunch, crunch... a teeth-grinding sound rang in the ears, and the devil's smile gradually spread.
Is this your backup plan?
Snap, crack.
Sinaya thrust her wrists into the chains, struggling against them—how about using pure force to counter your flash of inspiration!
CRACK--CRACK!
The iron ring shattered to the ground with a crackling sound, scattering into fragments under the violent force. Xinnaya turned over and pinned Chen Xiao'e down.
"it's over?"
The devil looked into Xiao'ai's eyes and grinned: "It's over." Finally, she held Chen Xiao'ai's throat while asking and answering herself affirmatively.
Tighten, keep tightening.
This touch made Xinaya unable to stop. The satisfaction of holding the destined prey in the palm of her hand far exceeded any other act of eating.
No, no, no, how can those ordinary things compare to her?
Chen.Xiao.Ei.
You are the first and only human being whose name I can remember.
You are really special, even your name is so special.
"I will never forget you." The devil whispered in her ear.
“…”
Chen Xiao'er couldn't breathe and couldn't answer. She looked at Xinnaya's emerald eyes in despair.
This despair is not so desperate, because at least... at least she protected the child... right?
Memories keep floating in the suffocation, and the first half of life turns into a rotating kaleidoscope, flashing through scenes of colorful images.
Friends from the orphanage, teachers, high school classmates, my adoptive mother, sister, Sister Lan, netizens I haven’t met yet... and many more, all finally stopped in the light-filled classroom of Taoli University.
I really, really, really want to grow up... I want to have a happy college life, graduate successfully, find a good job, and become a useful adult to society...
I also want to...watch Xiaotong grow up.
I want to survive
…
It was that feeling again, that overwhelming sense of crisis.
Xinnaya leaned over Xiao'ai's ear, feeling the violent vibration coming from deep within the core - the location connected to the abyss.
[This swallowing must be extremely dangerous]
Both the devil and "humans" can clearly understand this.
And this time, the feeling of uneasiness, no, fear deep in my soul has gone even further than last time.
It's not just because Chen Xiao'er's special abilities have grown, she seems to have other cards in the abyss.
Last time he was in too poor a condition to see clearly, but this time the devil could see a glittering spot of light in the fog.
That wasn't just any ordinary particle of light; it represented a coordinate in the abyss. Anyone who killed the target locked onto that coordinate would be acting against the owner of that coordinate.
Xinnaya understood this feeling; she had marked Chen Xiao'er for death in a similar way. If anyone dared to kill Chen Xiao'er before her, she would fight them to the death, even if she killed them a thousand or ten thousand times.
The devil didn't care much about the coordinates, after all, Chen Xiao'er was her prey.
We are all creatures of the abyss, and hunters use their own methods to eliminate hatred between each other: at worst, I can catch up and eat one more.
The problem lies in this inexplicable fear, the root of fear that can scare the devil.
Now she is lying on Chen Xiao'er and can use her willpower to fight the fear, but once she eats Chen Xiao'er, the truth corresponding to the fear will come.
I may not be able to afford the price
But devouring is inevitable. I must devour Chen Xiao'er and let her bones and blood mix with me.
Xinnaya quickly figured out the problem: "Oh, right, I noticed that before. There's also a Chen Xiao'er who's not really Chen Xiao'er."
Although she disliked the individual who was not cute and not as good as Chen Xiao'er, as long as she killed them at the same time, this fear would disappear, right?
Although I don't know if this is the correct answer, the devil's core has been very stable when conceiving this clue, and seems to be expressing his approval in his own way.
That should be the key to solving the problem, it makes sense.
Many abyss creatures have multiple bodies. The main body can only be killed by killing all the bodies. Otherwise, either the body cannot be killed or the main body's backup plan will be triggered.
Sinaya loosened her fingers and watched her breathe hard and gulp air like a fish falling back into water.
"Okay, call for help quickly." The devil flicked the human's face boredly.
"Ha, huh, huh, huh..." Chen Xiao'er covered her neck in disgust. Even swallowing hurt. She really didn't know why this guy was so crazy.
She coughed a few times and cursed in a hoarse voice: "If you want to kill, kill quickly. If you want to do something disgusting... just kill me first! Anyway, cough cough, that way I won't be so sick that I vomit!"
"hehe."
Sinaya looked her in the eyes interestedly.
Although the dead Chen Xiao'er is the best, you who are still alive and struggling are also very cute. So cute that I want to crush you to death bit by bit.
"What are you laughing at? What do you want?"
Chen Xiao'e stepped back twice. Even now, she was still searching for any weapons that might be useful, trying to put up another fight. Xinnaya's strength was truly outrageous, even more outrageous than a python's!
"I told you to call for help."
Xinnaya looked at her little face and suddenly realized: "Oh, you still want to act? Then hurry up and shout, let her come to save you."
"!" Although I don't know what's wrong with this guy, I don't care about her!
Chen Xiao'er immediately reached for her phone. Thankfully, ever since she lost it last time, she always kept it in her pocket wherever she went.
She took out her phone and swiped as fast as she could to the name marked with an asterisk at the top.
At this time, she couldn't think of anyone else, not even her teachers, classmates, and seniors.
There is only one person, only that person will come to save me, will definitely -
【Sister Lan】
Chen Xiao'er couldn't wait to press the name, one second, two seconds.
At the moment when 0 became 1 and before the first second had passed, the call was connected.
She burst out a cry of joy from her chest: "Sister Lan, help me——"
Click.
Xinnaya suddenly reached out, hung up the phone, and snatched the phone away.
"What are you doing? Didn't you ask me to call? Give it back to me! Give it back to me! How can I save her without the address?!" Chen Xiao'er was completely anxious. She fluttered with both hands to grab the phone, and her nails scratched Xinnaya's shoulders.
"Address? We don't need that."
Xinaya stroked the girl's blood-stained face meaningfully.
I won't always agree with you.
Do you like acting? You can act, and whether I accompany you or not depends on my interest. Your other body will naturally come over after receiving the signal from your original body, without even a word of nonsense.
The devil was originally planning to wait for that "Sister Lan" to arrive, but when she looked at the half-eaten spider projection in the corner, she suddenly had a new idea: since Chen Xiao'er's ability can restrain abyss creatures so well, why not take her to find the spider's real body hiding nearby?
Eat as much as you can. The spider had just fought a fierce battle with an unknown enemy. Its body should be very weak. Only an extremely weak creature could float to this level.
The creatures of the abyss are inherently in a predator-prey relationship, and she was reluctant to give up such a delicious meal.
"Hey, don't rush to die."
Xinnaya lifted Chen Xiao'e up by her collar and said, "Help me find something."
"Why should I help you—get away, I can't move! I don't have the strength to move—"
Chen Xiao'er lay on the ground anxiously. At least they had a bunch of weapons if they stayed here, and the hotel was a landmark building. Maybe it would attract Sister Lan's attention. Maybe someone saw them come in, and Xiaomei had just escaped.
It would be terrible if I was taken to some other place by this guy. No matter how powerful Sister Lan is, she can't find me all over the world.
"Can't walk?"
Xinnaya didn't think much about it. She picked up Chen Xiao'er and held the girl tightly in her arms, as if she was protecting a weak pet.
“…W-What are you going to do!?”
Chen Xiao'er stared at the nerve in disbelief. She placed her hands on her chest with great resistance, unwilling to have any part of the body touched.
Xinnaya walked a few steps with Chen Xiao'er in her arms, then smiled grimly in front of the elevator: "What? I want to play a game with you."
Don’t you like games the most, Chen Xiao’er?
…
It’s so damn unlucky!
Poison Spider limped out of the core area, holding her stomach. She felt like her hair and the hair on her back were about to burn.
The shocking image directly weakened her newly established faith and shattered her false state of fanaticism.
Why was the Dark Spider Queen attacked by another devil?!
Is it possible that the Spider Mother is actually very weak?
After all, she hadn't been through a long period of brainwashing, and this terrifying fact had directly aroused her doubts about the power of God. If other believers were here, they would certainly know to immediately correct such thoughts. After all, once doubts begin, there is no place to hold on to faith.
But the poisonous spider doesn’t care about that!
She had believed in the Spider Mother for the sake of benefits, hoping to gain enough to escape the Church of Light safely. Now that everything was gone, there was no way she could die with the Spider Mother.
I don’t know how long Chen Xiao’er can delay.
The poisonous spider ran faster and faster. She didn't dare to look directly at the devil. She just turned her head and ran. Only then did she save her life from the dead end.
Huh, these days those who act recklessly can’t survive, only people like me who act cautiously can survive.
She had forgotten the feeling of being bound by the gods and was completely absorbed in her new idea: even if she stayed in the Church of Glory for a while, it wouldn't be a big deal. It was nice to be under a big tree for shade, and at worst, she could just wait until the tree was about to fall and find another one.
Snap, snap, snap.
The sound of footsteps could be heard faintly in the thick fog, accompanying my heartbeat, which somewhat eased my tension.
Pasha.
Hmm? Why do I feel like there's someone else's footsteps nearby... Oh, right, today is the day the church's group is doing their daily cleanup! I almost forgot about that.
The venomous spider gnashed its teeth and slowed its pace, choosing to run towards a thicker fog based on years of experience. Those elites were even more afraid of death than I was; even if they heard unusual noises, they wouldn't follow into the thick fog.
Pasha, pasha pasha pasha.
Holy shit, they're following me? And there's obviously more than one person chasing me!
Poison Spider began to panic. Her superpowers had nothing to do with running speed, and her fighting style was more inclined towards assassination and burst, which put her at a great disadvantage when facing an elite team.
The more you fear something, the more it will come.
Whoosh——
An arrow flew past his cheek and sank deep into the darkness ahead.
“Stop it!”
The voice was very familiar. One of the pursuers was the bodyguard on the train, a friend of the target person!
Only a fool would stop!
Poison Spider quickened her pace and fumbled for the injection needle in her waist pocket, ready to give herself an injection in the neck at any time.
If you use this, the aftereffects will be very strong, but if you don't use this, you won't have the chance to consider the aftereffects... uh.
His body suddenly leaned forward uncontrollably.
No, it's not my shoulders or my sternum, it's my feet that are giving out! It's my toes that are nailed to the spot—
Bang!
The poisonous spider fell heavily to the ground, and the radioactive liquid in the cracks continued to spread upwards, corroding her clothes and even peeking at the flesh underneath.
Pasha, Pasha.
A familiar yet unfamiliar figure walked out of the thick fog. Poison Spider raised his head and opened his eyes blankly: This is... the one at school who touched my shoulder...
"If I were you, I would definitely stay still."
Zheng Lu stroked the rag doll in her palm, pinched the doll's arm with her fingertips and pulled hard.
She asked softly and clearly, "Now please tell me quickly, where is Chen Xiao'er?"
