The entire city was shrouded in the ever-increasing pollution.
Around Du Danping, the melody became real and formed a barrier to resist the storm that alienated all things.
Hippocrates' swarm of insects was swaying in the wind and rain, struggling.
The pollution turned into a tornado, with countless thunders flickering in it. The howling wind destroyed the houses built of sand and stones. Above the wasteland, a storm beyond the limit was forming.
If you could look down at the planet from the universe, you would see a huge storm across the earth, as if the planet had opened an eye and awakened from a long sleep.
In this overwhelming storm, even the clouds were stirred and a gap appeared.
This creates a wonderful situation.
Outside, a thunderstorm raged and the wind howled.
Inside, in a true utopia, the sun sets, shining brightly, illuminating the earth.
Only half of Cleopatra's body was left, the upper part had been consumed by pollution, and disgusting flowers made of tentacles bloomed.
Lu Ban was torn into pieces, and his flesh splattered all over the city, slowly coalescing at a snail's pace.
Du Danping knelt on one knee, the illusory piano in his hand shattered into pieces. He gasped and looked at Cleopatra's corpse.
As for Hippocrates, the remaining flying insects gradually gathered together to form his broken form.
"This storm is about to dissipate under the impact of pollution. At least we have protected the people of other city-states."
Du Danping said softly that he was already weak and had no strength left, and at this moment, he could not rescue Hippocrates.
The doctor also had no intention of treating himself.
Once the saints of the wilderness transform and the worms in their bodies fully mature into insects, it is irreversible. Next, they will either become insects and hover in the wilderness, or commit suicide and leave behind insect eggs.
“Did we really do that?”
Hippocrates asked.
He did not expect an answer. In this doomsday world, who could give him an answer?
But he felt that there was still something he could do.
The flying insects on Hippocrates' body scattered again, and he completely lost his form. The insects flew in all directions, picked up Lu Ban's flesh and blood, and gathered together.
Immediately, the scales on the flying insect spread and landed on Lu Ban's body, emitting a green fluorescent light.
Lu Ban's fusion process was accelerated, and he soon turned into a human form, lying on the ground.
Opening his eyes, Lu Ban looked at Cleopatra's corpse, and at the storm that was gradually spreading outward but whose momentum was decreasing. He roughly understood that at least he had survived the storm.
In the field of vision, silver words appeared indifferently and coldly.
[Survive until the rainstorm ends: 1/1]
Seeing this, Lu Ban knew that everything should have been settled.
He got up and stretched his body.
The flies of Hippocrates are dying, and the insects are falling to the ground one by one, like the last rain of Utopia.
Du Danping glanced at Lu Ban with a complicated look in his eyes.
"I have never seen anything like you."
He said.
Although Du Danping had seen all kinds of God's Chosen Ones in foreign lands, he had never seen one like Lu Ban.
This can no longer be considered a human being, nor even a monster. Only those evil gods hidden in the shadows and those indescribable great beings have such power.
When being severely polluted, Lu Ban did not experience corresponding erosion and alienation phenomena. There is generally only one possibility, that is, the pollution deposited by himself has long surpassed those he has come into contact with.
A Great Old One cannot be corrupted by beings of lesser rank than Himself.
"I have seen you in the future."
Lu Ban thought about it and said.
"I know Song Yunyan. She is your lover, right?"
Hearing Lu Ban's words, Du Danping's expression froze for a moment, but soon softened again.
"All I did was to allow her to live a peaceful life."
Du Danping said, he suddenly hesitated, swallowed his saliva, and looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
Lu Ban knew that Du Danping must want to ask about his future.
But Du Danping also knew very well that once he learned something from Lu Ban, the future would be determined.
If something bad happens to you, there is no way to avoid it.
He was silent for a moment, then finally asked.
"How is Yunyan doing in your future?"
When Lu Ban heard this, he was silent for a moment.
"She's fine."
"……That's good."
Du Danping did not ask any further.
He already knew why Lu Ban only mentioned Song Yunyan and didn't say much about himself.
In all likelihood, he had already passed away during Lu Ban's time.
He sighed a little, but soon cheered up again.
Since Song Yunyan's future is fine, everything he does next will be valuable.
He thought about it and took out a harmonica from his pocket.
"This is an extraordinary item I once obtained. It can help me maintain my sanity in the midst of pollution. I hope you can hand it over to Yun Yan."
Lu Ban took the harmonica, and in his field of vision, the cold and indifferent words of "A Place of Silence" emerged.
【Du Danping's Melody Fragments 4/4】
He looked at the harmonica carefully, and there seemed to be a light brewing inside it.
I didn't expect that the last piece of Du Danping's melody was here.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lu Ban was able to figure it out. After all, [Du Danping's Melody Fragment] must be something left behind by Du Danping.
And now, Du Danping himself is right in front of him, so it would be easy to obtain the last fragment of the melody.
Lu Ban saw that in his field of vision, words like a waterfall were pouring down again.
Just as he was about to confirm the words, he saw a man standing in the ruins of the utopia in this surviving world.
The man had dark skin, was tall and thin, had a handsome face, and was wearing a slim-fitting bright suit. He looked very polite.
He walked slowly towards here, strolling leisurely, like the only ray of light in a decadent world.
But Lu Ban knew that this was not light, but the deepest darkness.
"Go!"
Lu Ban said, he pushed Du Danping hard, causing him to fall into the void between the foreign realms.
The next moment after Du Danping disappeared, Lu Ban raised his head and saw the dark-skinned man standing within reach of him, showing his bright white teeth.
"I got you."
The next moment, Lu Ban felt a sharp pain in his head and he lost consciousness.
…
…
When he woke up, Lu Ban found that there was an unfamiliar ceiling in front of him.
He is not dead.
Lu Ban quickly realized this fact.
It is said that after a person dies, he or she will go to a cinema and watch the last movie about himself or herself there. Only when the movie ends and the crowd disperses will he or she leave, thus ending his or her long life.
And Lu Ban is now lying on the bed.
He sat up and found that this seemed to be a single room.
Lu Ban was wearing striped pajamas, which were the hospital gowns for patients.
He felt like there was something on his wrist. He raised his hand and saw that it was a plastic bracelet, light but sturdy.
There is some simple personal information written on the bracelet.
Subconsciously trying to find his cell phone, Lu Ban didn't find anything relevant.
Lu Ban had no idea how he came to this ward, nor what the "Man of Darkness" did to him afterwards.
Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open.
A doctor walked into the ward with a nurse. He was a little surprised to see Lu Ban sitting on the bed, but he quickly calmed down, came to the bedside and spoke to Lu Ban.
"How do you feel?"
Lu Ban did not answer.
Because he found that the doctor in front of him was the dark-skinned man.
That is the [Man of Darkness]!
