At the moment when the "Wu Chen" body died, Mao Xingchang left this small world, and Chu Lu, who was pulled over with the help of the connection between the systems, naturally returned to his own body.
Although the situation over there seemed critical, Chu Lu was not too worried.
As early as when he told Mao Xingchang that someone was coming, he noticed Li Shengru rushing over.
As an old monster who has lived for so many years, Han Li is indeed difficult to deal with, but the premise is that he is in his prime.
The current body was about to die, and the ritual of taking over the body was halfway through. That was probably Han Li's weakest state. Even if Han Lenian was in a better condition, he could have fought back, not to mention Li Shengru who had passed so many years. At worst, Han Lenian still had the amulet he had placed on him, so Chu Lu was very relieved to return.
It seemed like a lot of things happened, but the time wasted there was actually not that much.
According to Chu Lu's idea, he might still be on his way home by Qian Ji.
However, the moment I regained consciousness, I didn't feel any bumps. Instead, my exposed skin seemed to be stiff and cold because it had been blown by the cold wind for too long. My body seemed to still be in the open air, and there was more than one breathing sound around me.
One of them had a very familiar aura. It was Qian Ji, the person he asked to take care of his body before he left. The other one was also not unfamiliar, but... didn't Xiang Zhengqi have something urgent to do?
Chu Lu hadn’t yet figured out how to explain his current state, and for a moment hesitant about whether to “wake up”.
While he was hesitating, the talisman on the boy's forehead suddenly flashed with light, and his soul was forcibly pulled into his body.
Chu Lu: "..."
He just knew it.
It's not impossible to break free by force, but...
The moment he returned to his body, Chu Lu immediately noticed that several more stickers were stuck on his head. Because he had just returned, his somewhat erratic soul was immediately fixed in his body.
Chu Lu: "..."
Fortunately, Mao Xingchang's plot was completed, otherwise it would be difficult for the other party to ask him to play as a substitute next time.
…
In the empty outdoors, it was still the corner where the two were about to leave. Qian Ji stood stiffly beside them, his face full of confusion as to "What on earth happened?"
Although he was surprised at Lulu's ability to fall asleep in seconds, he did intend to take the person home as the other party said.
That’s how it was…
If it weren’t for this man who suddenly rushed out.
The other person's face looked very familiar.
Although Xiang Zhengqi rarely appears in public, Qian Ji, a hardcore player of "Jianyi" who has been playing the game for 6 years, still recognizes the face of the game's original developer and the boss of the development company.
The young man was so excited that before Qian Ji could even react, the boy he was half holding fell into his arms, with a piece of yellow paper stuck on his forehead.
To be honest, if Qian Ji had encountered such a thing before today - to be more specific, before tonight - he would have thought that the person was either a "human trafficker" or a "mental patient".
However……
Qian Ji had just experienced a reorganization of his worldview, and now he had to use his little head that was not sensitive to current affairs to think about what the developer of the ghost game "Jianyi" meant in a world where ghosts really existed. In particular, this Xiang Zong, was the one who just bled and opened the big move, right? !
Seeing that President Xiang was holding Chu Lu with no intention of letting go, Qian Ji hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiang... President Xiang, Lu Lu, is my brother okay?"
The other party finally looked up at him and asked, "Your brother?"
Qian Ji: “…”
Why is the focus here?
But the neighbor's younger brother is also a younger brother.
He nodded without feeling guilty, but the young man opposite him didn't seem to care about his response. He lowered his eyes and looked at the child in his arms, saying in a heavy tone, "It's okay, it will be okay."
He paused and repeated, "...it will be fine."
As if trying to convince myself.
Qian Ji: “…”
He wasn't worried at first, but after Xiang Zhengqi said that, he became uneasy.
He tried to comfort the other person, and also comfort himself, "Lulu just said that he was just too tired and planned to take a nap."
But after he finished speaking, the young man opposite turned visibly paler, and even his hands holding the boy were shaking a little.
Qian Ji: ???
!!!
Wait, the "sleep" he said is the ordinary literal "sleep", not the "sleep" in the sense of "sleeping forever"! Really not!
...Is it really not...?
Qian Ji looked at Chu Lu, who was not woken up by the loud noise in Xiang Zhengqi's arms, and suddenly became unsure.
This person is sleeping too soundly.
When Qian Ji was lost in thought about Xiang Zhengqi's performance, he saw the boy's fingers tremble slightly and his eyelids moved.
Qian Ji: ...It was just a false alarm.
Han family.
Han Lenian had just successfully fought with Han Li for control of the body and collapsed on the side, gasping for breath.
The negotiation between Han Li and Li Shengru had obviously failed, so he simply abandoned the ceremony and planned to directly seize Han Lenian's body. Or he actually had this plan from the moment Li Shengru appeared, and had been deliberately angering her, and when she finally lost her mind, he would take the opportunity to escape.
There was nothing wrong with Han Li's plan, but he really underestimated the attack power of the rage of the Li family patriarch. Not only his body but also his soul suffered a severe blow. When he fled to Han Lenian in a weak and embarrassed manner, he was easily devoured by Han Lenian to strengthen his body.
But looking at Han Lenian's current collapsed state, it is not accurate to say that it was "easy". Moreover, after swallowing, the amount of information he received at once was too much, and his brain even felt like the CPU was full and couldn't turn.
The default ringtone of the cell phone rang out, Han Lenian groaned in pain, pressed his aching forehead, and reached into his pocket.
He was beaten so badly just now, he didn't expect that even after such a situation, his phone was still intact.
As expected, it was given by Mr. Xiang...
However, I don’t think I’ve seen this brand on the market. I’ll ask when the time comes. If I can buy it, I’ll give one to Lulu as well.
His thoughts were wandering aimlessly, but when he saw the caller ID, he immediately perked up and picked up the call in seconds beside the ruins - it was truly a "ruin". If Han Lenian had not recovered some strength and ran away in time while the two men were talking, he would have almost become a part of the ruins.
He raised his voice and said, "Mr. Xiang!"
"Le Nian," Xiang Zhengqi's tone was a little unstable, but Han Lenian was too tired to tell the difference.
He heard the other side ask hurriedly: "Is Shengru on your side?"
When Han Lenian heard this, he couldn't help but look at the vacuum area in the center of the ruins.
Although he had already created enough distance, he still took a few steps back to be on the safe side, making sure he was still within a safe range before he agreed, "Yes, I am."
He paused and hesitated, "It's just..." He didn't seem to be in a good condition.
Xiang Zhengqi could guess what Han Lenian was going to say.
After seeing Shenglu's body, he roughly guessed what was going on. He thought that Han Li only had a weak part of Shenglu's soul in his hand - this could also explain why Li Shengru's tracking of his soul was intermittent and sometimes absent. When the soul was in danger, it would subconsciously pull the main soul. Only in that situation could Li Shengru be tracked.
Now that the soul has returned to the body, either the crisis over there has been resolved, or the part of the body that was split into two souls has disappeared.
However, looking at the current state of Shenglu's soul, it is probably the latter.
Witnessing his brother's death in front of him once again, even Xiang Zhengqi couldn't imagine how crazy Li Shengru was now.
He had just quickly pasted several talismans to help Shenglu fall asleep again and stabilize his soul (Chu Lu who had just returned:...). After that, Xiang Zhengqi immediately contacted Li Shengru, but only got a busy tone.
He knew something bad was going to happen.
——If the situation back then really happened again, he felt that it was possible that Li Shengru planned to destroy the world... Of course, this option might be a little difficult to implement, but destroying City A was more than enough for her.
Fortunately, I can still contact another person now.
There was no time to explain the situation, so Xiang Zhengqi gave the order directly, "Tell her 'I'm fine, I'm still alive', and then show her the photo I sent you."
In fact, the effect would be better if we could talk directly to each other, but...
Xiang Zhengqi lowered his head to glance at the sleeping boy. His remaining soul had just returned to his body, so it would be better for the child to stabilize for a while.
Moreover, if his soul is incomplete, he may not remember the past.
Although Han Lenian was puzzled, he still did as Xiang Zhengqi said.
But when he finished shouting and turned on his phone, he was stunned for a moment, "... Lulu?"
Why is this a photo of his brother?
Han Lenian suspected that he had opened the wrong photo.
But did he take this photo?
Han Lenian was still confused, and Li Shengru, who heard the noise, had already turned around. The violent and uncontrolled spiritual power also shifted and crushed over with her attention.
Han Lenian had just witnessed with his own eyes how this spiritual power crushed Han Li's body into pulp, so he did not dare to underestimate it at all.
His body moved faster than his brain. He supported himself with his arms on the ground, rolled back a few steps, and held his arms in front of him.
Even so, Han Lenian was still pushed back several steps and hit the ruins of a pillar with a "bang". The impact was not as serious as Han Lenian had expected. It must have been the result of the other party's efforts to control it.
However……
Han Lenian turned his head stiffly to look.
The phone whose quality he had just praised in his mind——
...It, exploded...
Parts and screen fragments fell from his palms piecemeal. Because of the shock wave, blood was dripping from his palms, but Han Lenian no longer felt the pain.
He raised his head stiffly and looked forward.
The woman walked towards him with empty eyes. With each step, the road ahead broke apart. A lot of rubble was added to the desolate ruins.
Han Lenian: !!!
Mr. Xiang only said “shouting” and “showing her the photo”, but he did not say…what would be the consequences if he “[only] shouted” and “[did not] show her the photo”…
Han Lenian: “…”
He felt that he now roughly knew what the consequences would be.
The overwhelming spiritual pressure was approaching, and Han Lenian was having trouble breathing.
Under this kind of fixed gaze, even moving a finger became a difficult activity, let alone turning around and running away.
Han·poor·weak·helpless·Le Nian: If he died here today...
He had only one request.
——Mr. Xiang, please help him take good care of his brother!!!
