385 Burning
◎ "Woof..."◎
In Pei Shu's world, ashes fell, and the flames burned to the extreme, colliding with the mycelium and emitting burning ashes.
Lin Xiaofeng disappeared.
He wanted to stop Lin Xiaofeng from doing something stupid, but her body suddenly stiffened, and she was as dazed as a puppet, and then disappeared as if she had evaporated from this world.
Prometheus took over her body. He was so powerful that his mycelium invaded her nerves and he understood the body structure of the mutants better than they did themselves.
Pei Shu was empty-handed and couldn't find Lin Xiaofeng's location. Prometheus was so despicable that he must have controlled Lin Xiaofeng for assassination.
The transparent-type psychic is best at playing the role of a killer. Will Prometheus kill Zhu Ning or Pei Shu?
Just as he guessed, the next moment, a sharp knife light appeared behind Zhu Ning.
The Invisible Man holds a transparent knife and becomes Prometheus's puppet.
Prometheus's goal has always been accurate. Lin Xiaofeng and Pei Shu are not important at all. The only important person from beginning to end is Zhu Ning.
But the knife light did not get closer, and a wall of fire rose from the ground. Pei Shu tried hard to stop it. He could not let Lin Xiaofeng kill Zhu Ning, otherwise all of them would be doomed.
The knife light disappeared, Pei Shu's heart beat violently, he looked around, and lost sight of Lin Xiaofeng again.
Bai Cheng's suicide was the right decision, otherwise Prometheus would have two knives in his hands now.
Pei Shu waited for a while, looking around vigilantly, but Lin Xiaofeng did not appear. She must be lurking, looking for a new opportunity.
The current situation is like a volcano that is about to erupt at any time. Everything is about to reach its peak. Pei Shu must find a way to break through.
Pei Shu was unexpectedly calmer than ever and continued with his previous thoughts. Liu Yu must have been coerced by Prometheus with some kind of power and was forced to return to the kingdom of God.
Judging from Lu Yuan’s subsequent experience, the mother and daughter assumed corresponding responsibilities, and Prometheus’ plan was successful.
The place where Pei Shu was standing was the longest distance that Zhu Yao, Huo Huaiying and Liu Yu had ever walked. The three of them had created the current situation.
Zhu Ning's precognitive eye most likely comes from Huo Huaiying. Zhu Ning is not just Zhu Yao's creation. She has Zhu Yao's genes as well as a part of Huo Huaiying.
She was created by three women.
Zhu Ning must be the future, Pei Shu is firm on this point, even though he knows that Zhu Ning will feel exhausted because of this mission, but at this moment Pei Shu believes this as the truth.
Only when Zhu Ning goes out can the kingdom of God fall. Only when she goes out can Lu Yuan's cage be opened and she can be truly free.
Huo Huaiying has the ability to foresee the future. Her death will not be unclear and will definitely lead to a certain ending.
Had she foreseen this? Had she ever glimpsed this history?
Everyone can influence history, not just Zhu Ning himself. They are all variables around Zhu Ning.
Bai Cheng is, Lin Xiaofeng is, and Pei Shu is too.
Not only great men can influence history, but small people can too.
Pei Shu's heart was about to explode. Every beat shook off the ashes, and the hot magma became less and less.
He looked at Zhu Ning, who was half-kneeling like a sculpture, with a giant made of black slime behind him.
She didn't make a sound, but Pei Shu could roughly feel Zhu Ning's condition. His flames wrapped around Zhu Ning, using the fire to feel Zhu Ning's current situation.
Zhu Ning was on the verge of collapse. She was much calmer than when they first met. She did not panic when Bai Cheng died, and did not stop when Lin Xiaofeng was controlled.
She just walked firmly on her own path, groping for the foundation of Prometheus, and never relaxed for a second.
Zhu Ning wanted to find a way out. She wanted to take everyone away from here. She wanted to leave with the precious information. She hadn't lost yet.
Pei Shu took a step towards her and suddenly felt the silk thread around his neck tighten. Zhu Ning didn't say anything, but was silently trying to stop him.
Go back and don't come over here.
Although he couldn't see it, he seemed to be able to feel Zhu Ning's gaze, which must be fierce.
They agreed to be ordinary teammates and would not have any emotional fluctuations even if the other party died, so they deliberately kept their distance. Zhu Ning didn't want to make friends with anyone at all.
She must have been staring at him. With Bai Cheng dead and Lin Xiaofeng temporarily gone, given Zhu Ning's personality, Pei Shu would leave immediately.
Just like Pei Shu’s captain Yi Linghe.
Pei Shu must be mentally ill. In his eyes, Yi Linghe and Zhu Ning became one person. Yi Linghe's sad expression was still vivid in his mind. The next moment he would hear the familiar sound of gunfire.
All his teammates will die in front of him again.
Death has come, reminding him of the Far North. The rolling heat waves have faded, and it seems as if there is now ice and snow all around. Captain Yi Linghe cast a last glance at him.
Let’s go, Yi Linghe said.
Pei Shu wasn't sure whether this scene had actually happened. Now that defeat was certain and history was repeating itself, his fire ability could protect him. Yi Linghe seemed to be telling him again, let's go.
But he couldn't move his feet.
Pei Shu's spiritual world was being turned upside down. Before his eyes was heavy snow and rolling heat waves. Time and space overlapped in a certain way, making him feel hot and cold, and his heart was also bright and dark.
The red silk thread around Pei Shu's neck tied him tightly like a collar. Even at this point, Zhu Ning did not loosen the thread of consciousness, as if he would be strangled to death if he took another step forward.
Zhu Ning was angry. Pei Shu could feel that she must be in a very bad mood. If she could, she would beat him up.
But Pei Shu took another step forward, as if he was throwing a tantrum at Zhu Ning, saying, "If you have the guts, strangle me to death."
Pei Shu's tense body relaxed, magma flowed out of his heart, and flames slowly moved down his arms.
"Teacher Pei, don't be the Lu family's dog, be my dog."
Pei Shu's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Zhu Ning coming to the second district. She burned all the wool in a fire and invited him to walk out of the wall.
"Pei Shu, go back and don't follow me." In the shelter, Zhu Ning didn't want him anymore and asked him to leave immediately.
Because she doesn't like having people around her who want to commit suicide at any time and she doesn't want to repeat the fate of employee No. 2.
"Your excellent guide, it's time for you to rest." Zhu Ning pressed down on his lower back and covered his eyes from behind. The place where her palms touched her eyes was wet. Pei Shuzeng was crying in her palms.
"You are very tired, go to sleep." Zhu Ning's gentle voice came.
Pei Shu once slept in Zhu Ning's palm. It was one of the rare moments when he felt at peace.
Life within the walls would not bring peace, but that night he felt a long-lost peace, as if he were a normal person who had finally learned to let himself go.
He had always thought that he had to go to the Far North to be healed. He would completely let go of his obsession from the past, but he didn't have to reach a specific place. Just walking along the way was enough.
He had a new captain and new teammates. No one would laugh at his weakness, and no one would deliberately irritate his scars.
Zhu Ning would squeeze out his snacks, and they would gather together to cook instant noodles, each person could only take two bites and drink the warm soup.
Bai Cheng would take them to dig graves and look for his body. Pei Shu was woken up by them in the middle of the night and cursed with a frustrated look on his face.
Zhu Ning was very childish and took a group photo under the Feiyu Line. Pei Shu hadn't taken a photo with anyone for a long time.
Under the magnificent flying fish line, they sat on the flying car to watch the sunrise, like wild cats occupying the car gathered together for warmth.
It was agreed that Bai Cheng would die first, and Pei Shu would be next. The order couldn't be messed up.
Pei Shu took a step forward, and the red string around his neck tightened again and again. Pei Shu felt a weak force, and Zhu Ning wanted to grab his neck and throw him away.
But Pei Shu did not leave. He resisted his master's wishes, his whole body was red, and from a distance he looked like a torch.
The torch approached Zhu Ning, and the flames became more intense. It was no longer accurate to describe it as a torch. It was more like a bonfire at a festival.
Pei Shu had participated in that kind of feast. It was a tribe that retained strange customs. They built a five-meter-high firewood with wood. When it burned, it made not crackling sounds, but roaring sounds, like the howling of life.
The flames shot up into the sky, sparks flew everywhere, and were blown to everyone by the wind, but they would not ignite anyone's clothes. People bathed in the firelight, danced around the campfire hand in hand, and sang ancient songs.
They were praising the most primitive thing, fire. Pei Shu silently recited this word in his heart, just like he was reciting his own name.
Fire, his fingertips trembled slightly, and the flames rose again, dancing on his fingertips, fell to the ground, and merged into a stream of magma.
The magma came to life, gushing out from Zhu Ning's heart and climbing up his body like a volcanic eruption, without any reservation. With a bang, Zhu Ning's skin was burned. The magma burned Zhu Ning's skin and the mycelium on his body.
The mycelium turned into ash when it touched the boiling magma, and the magma wrapped around Zhu Ning's body and flowed into her spine.
The magma touched her bones, burning her flesh and Prometheus attached to it, and burst out in a posture of destroying both herself and the body. She had pain nerves similar to those of humans, and at this moment she felt a sharp pain that made her teeth chatter.
The effects of the poison faded, and the pain brought back reason.
She vaguely saw a shadow in the flames. Pei Shu, as a fire-type ability user, gave all the fire to Zhu Ning, leaving him without any protection.
Pei Shu's shadow was extremely blurry in the dancing flames, just a pitch-black piece, as if the edges were constantly disappearing.
A flash of knife appeared behind Pei Shu. Prometheus only used the same technique. He wanted to kill Pei Shu. Zhu Ning raised his eyes. The thread of consciousness was tightly entangled. Lin Xiaofeng's body was like a butterfly caught in a net, and suddenly fell from mid-air.
Zhu Ning was finally able to free her hands, and Lin Xiaofeng's body disappeared again. She didn't have time to catch Lin Xiaofeng's shadow again, because she had already touched the foundation of Prometheus.
At that time, a human-machine combined device fell to the ground, and white mycelium emerged from the back. The mycelium penetrated into the ground and then grew wildly into a patch.
The magma burned the mycelium and half of Zhu Ning's body. The black mucus gathered into a mass, like a sickle moving forward quickly, rolling in with the force of a bamboo breaking through.
Like a mad knife, it had to be fast. Zhu Ning had to seize the hard-earned moment, fearing that the other party would escape.
The accumulated hatred erupted in an instant, new and old hatreds, along with past grudges and the anger of the previous generation, Pei Shu ignited a fire for her.
The black giant leaned down, opened its mouth at the tip, grew countless sharp teeth, and bit down on the mycelium.
Prometheus's downfall was inevitable. He went from being a hunter to being the hunted. All his counterattacks were so powerless. His originally tense state was broken by Pei Shu's magma. The magma and black slime moved forward together. Zhu Ning carried the real fire forward.
Fire, fire fire!
Flames erupted, a roar intertwined with the sound of the waves beneath their feet, and a cry was heard. In an instant, the mycelium broke inch by inch, swallowed by the black slime, and the fire rushed forward, burning the weed-like mycelium, revealing the skeleton of the giantess below.
Prometheus lay on the skeleton to absorb nutrients, and what they had to do was to drive out the thieves.
This piece of bone marrow has been decaying for many years and this side has not been exposed for a long time. The skeleton is recovering rapidly.
Zhu Ning was terrified. Under the tremendous pressure, she found it difficult to react and didn't know whether she had succeeded or failed.
The mycelium lost its force for a moment and became loose like a weak rope. Prometheus also stopped making any sound. Zhu Ning felt that everything was unreal. Did they succeed?
She couldn't wait to verify it, or to check the status of other teammates to find out where Lin Xiaofeng was.
"Zhu Ning." Pei Shu suddenly said. There was a barrier of fire between them, and they couldn't see each other clearly.
Zhu Ning seemed to have just left her body and was called back now. Her body was still on fire, like a fire man.
Pei Shu looked at his hands, which were already covered in charcoal and would turn to ashes with a touch. He knew he had finished.
Pei Shu raised his head and smiled. The burden that had been on his shoulders for many years disappeared, and he felt extremely relaxed. His throat was blocked for a moment, and he realized that this might be his last words. He reacted quickly, like a tired traveler who finally reached the end.
“Woof…”
He had a lot of things he wanted to say. He wanted Zhu Ning to go to the Far North, he wanted Zhu Ning to kill Prometheus, and he wanted her to get closer to the truth of the world.
He should leave a last word, or his last wish.
But when he got to this position, he suddenly wanted to play another role.
Pei Shu didn't want the atmosphere to be so heavy, nor did he want her to recall employee number two, so he finally responded to Zhu Ning's invitation.
“Woof…”
Zhu Ning was amused by him. Although he shouldn't laugh, a smile appeared naturally on the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, her smile froze, Pei Shu's voice stopped abruptly, and his body became stiff. If a normal person was just stunned, he would also tremble uncontrollably, but Pei Shu didn't do that at all, as if he had completely lost his life.
Something was about to surge out of Zhu Ning's heart, a huge emotion overwhelmed her, and reality soon responded to her.
Pei Shu's figure was blurry behind the flames. It was not a human figure, but a human-shaped piece of charcoal.
Pei Shu's heart was overloaded and could no longer beat, and all his energy was on Zhu Ning. When Prometheus was attached to the main root of the giant's skeleton and was dying, the mycelium burst out with its last burst of strength and wrapped around his body, like a poisonous snake strangling its prey.
The mycelium became tighter and tighter, and Pei Shu's fragile body could be crushed by just a straw. The flame stopped burning, and with a loud noise, it was as if a hammer had gently knocked his body.
Pei Shu shattered like ashes.
