No matter what Zhuang Li did, Xuan Ming's expression remained unchanged. He was like a towering mountain, shielding his lover from all wind and rain.
He had long known that Zhuang Li was a born devil, but what did it matter?
Smoker sincerely admired Xuanming's courage. Dating a manipulative demon like that was no good, and most people couldn't handle it, right?
She shook off these distracting thoughts, raised her phone, pointed at Lin Shiyu, who smiled happily for the first time on the screen, and asked in a trembling voice, "Her despair has been broken? Your mission was successful, right? Can we leave now?"
The stranded people standing behind her all had expressions of extreme longing.
Zhuang Li remained standing within the magic array, eyes closed as he pondered, "It's still too early. Even if someone is determined to die, their essence remains despair, no matter how happy their smile. Alleviating Lin Shiyu's inner despair is pointless."
"If it's useless, what are you doing now? Haven't you spent so much energy on her?" The smoker retorted quickly.
She wanted to leave this hellhole so badly. She couldn't bear to fall from the pinnacle of hope to the abyss of despair again.
She couldn't hold on any longer. If time reset again, she might jump off the roof holding Yu Chuan's body.
Intense desire and immense fear battled within her, causing her to tremble constantly and nearly burst into tears. She fiercely wiped away the tears from her eyes and stared intently at Zhuang Li, who was at the center of the magic circle.
Everyone on the rooftop stared at Zhuang Li, hoping he could perform a miracle.
Stranded residents of several nearby buildings ascended to the rooftops, using binoculars or special abilities to peer intently at the glowing white magic array and the man within it. They, too, were waiting.
Zi Wei looked around and soon discovered that the rooftops of several nearby buildings were full of people. They were a sea of black people, their expressions were still numb, their limbs were still stiff, but there was a light in their eyes, although it was only a trace, very weak, but it was enough to wash away the deathly aura that permeated the air.
Zi Wei then asked anxiously, "Captain, you must have a solution, right? Can you take us away?"
Hearing these words, the light in everyone's eyes became bright and flickering. What a huge hope, as if the weight of the entire world was pressed on Zhuang Li's shoulders alone.
But he didn't feel any pressure at all, still smiling cheerfully: "Of course. If there is really someone who can take you out, that person will only be me. You are lucky to meet me."
This sentence was too arrogant, but it instantly aroused everyone's desire to survive.
Under the gaze of countless blazing eyes, Zhuang Li placed his index finger between his brows and continued his conversation with Lin Shiyu. "Are you satisfied with this? But don't forget, if it weren't for the instigation of those believers, how could your husband have become increasingly distant from you and even betrayed you? If it weren't for their instigation, how could your husband have thought of killing your son and eating his flesh and blood? Therefore, these people are sinners too. You should send them to hell and turn them into true devils. I think they will definitely be grateful to you."
Hearing these words, Lin Shiyu, who had been leaning against the wall and silently weeping, suddenly opened her eyes and smiled wickedly. She got up and went to the supermarket outside the community to buy a lot of disinfectant, laundry detergent, mold remover, and other items. Then she returned home and used her husband's phone and social media apps to find the cult members one by one.
Then she used hacking skills to create an audio clip and sent it to the church group formed by her husband.
This audio clip perfectly reproduces Liu Jizu's voice. He asked all parishioners to go to the activity room to celebrate Black Mass at 12 o'clock tonight.
The church members all expressed their willingness to attend on time, but no one knew that the real bishop was already dead.
After making sure that all believers would come without exception, Lin Shiyu rushed to the activity room and sealed the vents, exhaust fans and window gaps one by one. Then she draped her husband's black robe on a mannequin and placed it at the innermost side of the activity room. She then stuffed a recorder into the pocket of the black robe.
Afterwards, she bought many scented candles, lit them one by one, and placed them on the long table. Then she carried a large bag of disinfectant, laundry detergent, mildew remover and other items, plus an empty bucket, and hid them in the cabinet in the activity room.
At midnight, the cultists rushed to the activity room and saw the bishop standing under the inverted cross, and they bowed one by one in salute.
A strong fragrance filled the activity room, which soon made everyone lose their sense of smell.
"Liu Jizu" stood with his back to the believers and said without turning his head: "Kneel down and recite the Bible." After he finished speaking, he began to pray.
This prayer was naturally played by a recorder. Lin Shiyu, hiding in the cabinet, could control it remotely and make it sound at the right time.
The others quickly knelt down and chanted the Dark Bible loudly.
Lin Shiyu, who was hiding in the cupboard, quickly poured disinfectant, laundry detergent, mildew remover and other things into the bucket, then quietly opened the cupboard door and left quietly.
The congregants were so absorbed in their prayers that they did not notice her whereabouts.
She closed the door of the activity room and blocked the gap under the door with several towels.
Soon after she left, the church members collapsed one after another. Disinfectant, laundry detergent, and other substances, if mixed together, will emit toxic gas, which can be fatal if the dose is sufficient.
Ever since she made a deal with the devil, Lin Shiyu had learned how to use everything around her to kill people. Flour, keys, laundry detergent—these everyday objects were all murder weapons in her eyes.
She can kill whoever she wants to kill, and she can do whatever she wants to do. This feeling is addictive!
She walked outside, took a deep breath, and a relaxed smile slowly broke out on her tense face.
The inmates tasked with monitoring her were filled with fear. Zhuang Li's ability to manipulate people's hearts was truly terrifying, transforming a weak woman who had never known resistance into a murderous maniac.
However, even though things have developed to this point, the despair has not been broken.
Is there really any way out for this world?
As everyone waited anxiously, Lin Shiyu returned to the building where she lived and stepped onto the rooftop step by step.
Seeing that the demon was still standing in the circle of light, she couldn't help but smile with joy.
"Are you still there?" she greeted like an old friend.
"Are you here to jump off the building?" Zhuang Li greeted.
"Yes, I'm going to jump off the building." Lin Shiyu stood on the railing and tried her best to look into the distance, just like every time before.
Zhuang Li spread his huge wings, flew to her side, and said nonchalantly: "I'm curious about what you watch every day."
"I actually can't see anything." Lin Shiyu said frankly.
"This world, whether day or night, is always a despair to you, right?" Zhuang Li asked softly.
"Yes. It's always despair. I want to find a ray of sunshine, I want to see the red sunrise, I want to appreciate the clouds in the sky, I want to know if it will be warm when the sun shines on my face." Lin Shiyu slowly shed two lines of tears.
A cold wind blew by, taking away the warmth of her tears and making her feel even colder.
Then she smiled coldly, pointed into the distance and said slowly, "This world is beyond saving. It will never, ever see the sun."
"So, why don't you try to break it? Perhaps by breaking it, light will shine in from outside. If I'm guessing correctly, this is the last regret in your life, right? Are you willing to leave with this regret?"
Zhuang Li flapped his wings, and his words were more inspiring than his wings.
A wish she had waited a lifetime for, yet it never came true, a regret that would soon be irreparable—this was the obsession Lin Shiyu absolutely could not let go of. She strained to open her eyes wide, gazing towards the pitch-black sky, a flame gradually igniting in her pupils.
"Break the world and let the light in? I can't do it, it's a fantasy!" Her voice trembled, not because of fear or powerlessness, but because of an increasingly strong desire.
At this moment, obsession has become a demon in her heart, deeply rooted in her heart. She has stood here for a lifetime, watched for a lifetime, waited for a lifetime, and in the end, she must get a result!
She gripped the railing tightly and tried her best to look out.
Zhuang Lize whispered in her ear, "Of course you know what to do." He extended his slender fingertips and traced a circle on his temples. He reminded her slowly, "Use my ability to think carefully. It will tell you the answer."
Lin Shiyu turned to look at him, then continued to gaze into the endless distance. Her brain began to work at high speed, thinking frantically and analyzing everything. Suddenly, she realized that this world and herself were one!
I am the world, and the world is me. It is made up of my endless despair! Because there is no light in my heart, there is no light in it either!
Break it and light will surely come in.
Lin Shiyu finally discovered the origin of this world. This incredibly intelligent demonic brain helped her unravel all mysteries. And the solution to breaking this world, this brain also told her, was resonance!
Every atom that makes up this world has a resonance cavity, and she can use her mental power to make these resonance cavities vibrate together, thereby forming an overwhelming resonance.
The essence of energy is vibration, and when all atoms vibrate together, the result will inevitably be the energy that destroys everything.
This incredibly intelligent mind told her the origin and truth of the world without reservation. This was a truth she had never been able to understand in her entire life.
With this brain, she is the god of this world!
She is God!
Lin Shiyu stood in the wind and laughed heartily. She had been so humble, yet after realizing this truth, she had become incredibly arrogant.
As the saying goes, everything goes to extremes, so extreme love breeds hatred, and extreme humility breeds boundless arrogance. This is exactly what happened to Lin Shiyu at this moment.
She laughed wildly as she looked at Zhuang Li and taunted him, "You want to use me to destroy this world and escape safely? Sorry, I may not do as you wish. Everyone in this world must be destroyed with me. I will never see the light in my lifetime, so neither will you."
She used her sound waves to stimulate every atom in the air, causing their resonant cavities to resonate.
Then, she slowly leaned close to Zhuang Li's ear and whispered, "You arranged for me to be destroyed, so I arranged for you to be buried with me. We're even."
After she finished speaking, she burst into even more hearty laughter.
The evil in her heart was magnified infinitely step by step by Zhuang Li, and then transformed into a complete devil.
The sky was cracking, the earth was shaking, and everything around her was shattering. This was the most glorious and joyful moment in her life!
The stranded people who had been hiding in dozens of buildings ran out, stood in the open space, and looked up at the two people hanging on the roof.
Xuan Ming came out from behind the water tank and tried to take Zhuang Li away, but saw him waving his hand slowly.
So Xuanming stopped where he was and waited silently.
Smoker also rushed out from behind the water tank and called his companions, asking them to take Yu Chuan away quickly.
"Now it's over! You've killed everyone! The world is going to be destroyed!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, then let out a miserable laugh. "That's good. Everything finally came to an end today. Disappearing forever is better than being trapped in despair and slowly dying! In a sense, you succeeded."
She clapped her hands one by one, with tears, hatred, but also a hint of gratitude and relief on her face.
Xuanming stopped Zi Wei, Huangmao and Xiaodao who were about to rush forward to rescue Zhuang Li.
Even at this time, his trust in Zhuang Li was still enough.
Zhuang Li also began to clap his hands, but his eyes were looking at Lin Shiyu.
"You did well. At the last moment, you finally stood up for once, proving yourself to be no servile person. Unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten that our deal was already finalized. So now, your soul belongs to me; your power belongs to me; your body belongs to me; everything about you belongs to me. In other words, this world also belongs to me. It will only obey my orders."
Zhuang Li reached out and held Lin Shiyu's branded hand.
So in the blink of an eye, the power to dominate the world that Lin Shiyu had just comprehended belonged to him.
Once a contract is reached, it must be fulfilled. This is the law. The law was born at the beginning of heaven and earth to limit the movement of the universe and the rotation of the sun, moon and stars.
No one, not even a god, can break the power of the law.
"What! What on earth did you do to me?" Lin Shiyu turned into powder bit by bit in extreme horror.
At the last moment before she completely disappeared, she heard the demon whisper softly in her ear like a lover: "You are wrong. This is the ending I arranged for you. May there be no darkness in your heaven."
Yet darkness still descended, and it remained eternal. As Lin Shiyu's eyes crumbled to dust, she lost all connection with the world. She had been completely exploited by this demon, from head to toe.
Never make a deal with the devil - this is not just an empty admonition, but a true saying.
It's a pity that she realized it too late.
