Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Battle
A shallow wound about an inch long was cut on the right side of Chi Nu's cheek, and blood soon oozed out.
When she saw clearly who the attacker was, the smile that seemed welded to Chi Nu's face finally showed signs of breaking.
He couldn't believe it: "Xiao Run?!"
Meng Ji's influence is irreversible unless one of them dies. Normally, Chen Run would love him more than her own life, and he simply couldn't imagine that she would attack him.
Sensing the danger to its master, an extremely thick vine automatically stretched out towards Chen Run. Fortunately, she reacted in time and rolled away.
Immediately, seven or eight slightly thin vines gathered around and tightly bound Chenrun's limbs.
One of them climbed up her neck and tightened silently.
Chi Nu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart. She raised her hand to stop the vines from tightening further: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Chen Run's expression was extremely painful. She didn't want to attack Chi Nu at all, and didn't want to go against his ideas at all. It was just like the instinct to eat when hungry and drink water when thirsty.
But she didn't give in.
Her chest heaved violently as she squeezed out each word from between her teeth: "You can't...use your abilities...to harm ordinary people."
Even though she has become an S-class expert, Shen Run still cannot empathize with the superior mentality of people with special abilities. Just a few months ago, she was just an ordinary person, relying on working to earn a meager living. Every month, she had to worry about food, commuting, rent, utilities, and her biggest dream was to break away from her original family and have a small house of her own in a big city.
She had experienced working overtime in the office until two in the morning, working part-time as a deliveryman in temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius, and being unable to find a job for two months due to a bad working environment. Everyone had tried their best and was living such a hard life, but they still had to lose their lives inexplicably because of the ambition of a powerful person.
From the very beginning when she came into contact with superpowers, she didn't think it was a good thing for humans to have superpowers.
After hearing her words, Chi Nu frowned slightly.
He had already prepared for the worst, even the extremely melodramatic plot that Chen Run would remember her love for Chi Shuangliu and get rid of the influence of 'Meng Ji'. But he never expected that the reason for her loss of control was actually her lofty moral standards.
He thought she was emotionally weak, lacked subjectivity, and longed for love and recognition from others, but the facts seemed to be a little beyond his expectations. Shen Run's subjectivity was a little stronger than he thought.
However, there is no turning back. The big commotion he caused must have alerted the patrol teams from surrounding provinces and cities. Soon other S or S+ strong men will arrive. Even if he can handle it, things will become very tricky.
What’s even more terrible is that Chi Shuangliu’s all-seeing eye opens from time to time.
Chi Nu decided to end the battle quickly and send her back to the space for confinement first.
He softened his expression and coaxed with a gentle voice, "Xiao Run, stop making trouble, okay?" His voice gradually deepened, "Except for me, no one else would love you this much. Do you want to disappoint me?"
Shen Run pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyebrows moved slightly, and a little struggle appeared in his eyes.
A genuine smile flickered in Chi Nu's eyes as she continued to put pressure on her mentally: "I gave you the affirmation and love you desired most. I've always been patiently by your side, taking care of you meticulously. Is this how you repay me? You attacked me. Isn't that ungrateful?"
She had heard similar words too many times at home, and she lowered her head as if she could not bear the pressure.
Chi Nu's lips curled slightly, and she wanted to continue this secret mental abuse, but the next moment, the dense mycelium gave the answer. The mycelium continued to climb upwards, almost covering his calves. His legs seemed to have taken root in the ground, and he could not move at all. According to the growth rate of the mycelium, within half a minute, his entire body would be covered and eroded by the gray-white mycelium.
His expression was slightly gloomy.
Chen Run wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly raised his head to look at him: "If you really love me, why do you remember every bit of your efforts so clearly, like settling accounts?"
Although every word Chi Nu said was so reasonable and fluent, Chen Run had the illusion that she had seen a loophole, as if she had enjoyed more sincere love before, so when she had a disagreement with Chi Nu, she immediately recognized his false and shallow love.
A vague image emerged in her mind.
Chi Nu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "I didn't want to attack you."
Chen Run reacted quickly, and a ten-thousand-volt current surged from her body, lighting up her entire body. Once the vines approached her, they would be burned into a piece of ash carbon by the excessive current.
With her as the center, a piece of open space was cleared within a three-meter range.
Chi Nu raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a look of approval, and praised generously: "You have improved a lot compared to before."
He raised his hand, and countless vines spontaneously weaved and connected within a range of three meters away from her, soon forming an emerald green cage.
At first, countless silver snake-like electric lights flowed out from the cracks in the cage. Soon, the cage was woven tightly, and only the crackling sound of electricity was muffled inside.
Chi Nu walked up to the cage and whispered, "Don't waste your energy. You can't escape."
He can be said to be the human with the longest lifespan and is infinitely close to being a god. Even if Shen Run is promoted to S-level, he is still no match for him.
The crackling sound of electricity still did not stop. Chi Nu raised an eyebrow and said, "Unruly children will be punished."
He raised his hand and made a pulling motion, and the cage was quickly lifted into the air. The cage woven with vines tightened further, and finally became a whole without a single gap. The entire cage took on the shape of a soft pocket, and the entrance closed tightly, like a pitcher plant that had caught its prey.
Soon, a kind of mucus began to secrete from the inside of the cage, which quickly wrapped around the entire inner wall. When Chen Run increased the current again and condensed it into a light blade in an attempt to break out, the light blade was directly bounced back and hit her.
She screamed in pain and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her arm. Her arm was burned black, revealing the red flesh underneath. Fortunately, the psychic's powerful repair ability came into play, and the carbonized part began to slowly repair itself.
Chi Nu smiled slightly, and placed her palm on the cage woven from vines. Her tone was like she was teaching a disobedient puppy a lesson: "Do you realize your mistake now?"
Pain is the best way to make people remember a lesson. Chen Run is no match for him. If it happens a few more times, she will be obedient.
Chi Nu thought carelessly.
Chen Run did not respond, and there was no movement inside.
Chi Nu frowned slightly and was about to speak when she suddenly felt the injured part of her cheek begin to itch.
He raised his hand and touched it, and a mushroom fell into his palm.
Chi Nu was stunned.
Just as he was distracted for a short time, the itchiness on his cheek became more and more obvious. Clusters of mushrooms emerged from his wound. They grew in a hurry and continuously devoured his flesh and blood, making the wound that was originally an inch long cover half of his face.
A deep voice rang out from the vine cage: "'Parasite' is taking effect."
After swallowing the mother mushroom, she quickly rose to S-level and gained a new mutated ability - 'parasitism'.
As long as the opponent has even the slightest wound, the fungus will parasitize in his wound, constantly devouring his flesh and blood to reproduce, until the opponent is completely devoured from the internal organs to the head - the only weakness of this mutant skill is that it requires a growth period of five to seven minutes.
Because this mutated ability is extremely evil and uncontrollable, and there is a high probability that it will devour the host after devouring the opponent, this is the first time that Chen Run has used this ability.
So after injuring Chi Nu, she knew that she was no match for him, but she still exerted all her strength without reservation, just to attract his attention and prevent him from noticing that the wound was parasitized by mycelium.
Chi Nu's gentle and calm expression finally broke: "How dare you?!"
He took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Untie it!"
Even though he was trapped in a cage, Shen Run showed no weakness: "Unless you promise not to attack the patrol team and the people in the city again, I can temporarily stop it!"
Chi Nu paused, then suddenly revealed a cold smile and asked softly, "Are you threatening me, Xiao Run?"
Shen Run responded instinctively: "If you insist on thinking so, I can't help it."
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she fell steadily to the ground from mid-air. The vine cage that had trapped her had been removed at some point, and she was facing Chi Nu again.
Chi Nu's two pale thin lips opened slightly, and a vine as thick as a thumb emerged from his mouth and directly pierced Chen Run's heart.
She opened her mouth and looked down at her heart in disbelief.
Even if a vine came out of her mouth, it did not affect Chi Nu's speech at all.
Clusters of mushrooms obscured his face, and only his cold voice could be heard: "Actually, it wouldn't have been that difficult for me to extract the divine blood from you. It's just that I couldn't bear to hurt you. I even granted you the privilege of accompanying me."
He paused and gave a slightly malicious smile: "Now, I have decided to take back my gift."
Chen Run's blood and vitality are the best supplements for him. He previously wanted to use a roundabout way to obtain that blood while ensuring her life, but now, Chen Run makes him feel truly threatened.
He was indeed different from Chi Shuangliu. The moment he realized his life was threatened, he immediately withdrew all his pity and love, and decided without hesitation to exchange her life for his own.
——He was once the king of this land and will be the god of the future. No one in this world is more important than himself.
The two of them made quite a noise, which finally attracted Chi Shuangliu's all-seeing eye.
Soon, the space above the conference room began to roll and stir, and soon a small, twisted black hole appeared. Small objects such as stationery, water cups, etc. in the conference room began to tremble and were sucked into the black hole uncontrollably.
A moment later, a pair of endlessly long legs stepped out of the black hole.
Sensing the breath of her mortal enemy, Chi Nu's pupils suddenly shrank and she withdrew without hesitation.
Chi Shuangliu had no extra thoughts for him. His eyes instantly locked onto Chen Run, staring at her straightly. His eyes seemed to have turned into sharp hooks, trying to draw out flesh and blood from her body.
Although his heart was filled with anger, anxiety, pain, and all kinds of negative emotions, the moment he saw Chen Run's body fall limply, he instinctively teleported over and caught her with both hands.
Chi Shuangliu calmly adjusted his posture to make her lean more comfortably, but then he spoke in a full-on sarcastic tone, "Why doesn't the person you love the most want you anymore?"
He said arrogantly, "This is what happens when you betray me so easily. Although I don't care, you can still tell me why you two started fighting?"
Shen Run only had time to open his mouth.
Her young and plump skin quickly became dry and old, her skin became loose and sallow, covered with age spots, and her thick black hair turned into a bunch of dry and withered grass. All this took only half a second.
Chi Shuangliu's astonished and horrified face was still reflected in her lifeless eyes.
His lover died of old age in his arms, completely defenseless.
