Chapter 367 Monster Hospital (Sixty-Six)
"Back then, I wanted to keep you, so I let it do this for me," Nan Huan seemed unwilling to say more about this matter, "Don't find fault with me now. If it weren't for it, who knows how many people would have been hurt by such evil thoughts for so many years?"
Bei Xi obviously didn't like Nan Huan speaking well of Tian Dao in front of her, but she still didn't show it, "You must have been mad at it back then, how could it still be willing to help you?"
"It had no choice but to help. We didn't have any other choice at the time," Nan Huan didn't know whether she was dissatisfied with the system because it didn't give her personal skills, or because of the other party's previous actions. Now that she finally had a legitimate opportunity to complain, she was not willing to let it go.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Bei Xi didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly became serious. "I know you told me this because you didn't expect that one day you would become such an ordinary human being, and would want to try again when faced with hopeless things. Although we are back to the dot, what I want to say is that maybe for all humans, the ending is still facing disaster. But for me, these years are my luck, and I am really happy to have you by my side. If I were you, I would also want to try for myself once. Even if I fail, I have gained so much time, right? So I am very happy, especially happy."
Bei Xi knew what Nan Huan wanted to say, and without even waiting for him to finish explaining, he took the lead in expressing his own opinion, and at the same time brought the topic back to the question he originally wanted to confirm, "So this time it's my turn. I know what this choice means to me. I'm not as great as you think. I just want you to end this painful cycle, to live in peace, to see for me what kind of beautiful world those who are dissatisfied with the way of heaven will create, and to see that after the struggle, mankind will usher in a brand new world. Promise me, okay?"
Nan Huan had already burst into tears because of Bei Xi's words. She nodded randomly, as if she couldn't bear to see Bei Xi continue talking, and as if she didn't want to have too many beautiful visions of the future, because that would only make her nostalgic. She just wanted to deeply engrave Bei Xi's appearance in her mind, thinking to herself that you will definitely see that new world.
I don't know if it was because the system, Tiandao, finally couldn't stand the scene of the two people stabbing each other in the midst of being affectionate, or it was because the owner of the biochemical area, who had been waiting for a long time for the guests, finally couldn't help but take the initiative to attack.
The extremely sticky black air first awakened the surviving players of the Anti-One Guild Alliance. These players were originally more seriously infected than others. Although Nan Huan had left a golden protective circle on their bodies just now, the effect was not very great. On the contrary, as soon as the black air approached, those players seemed to be suddenly possessed, and their eyes instantly turned pitch black.
Like a headless fly that finally found its target, it began to approach Nan Huan and Bei Xi.
The evil thoughts in their hearts were completely aroused. Whether it was the fact that they were always suppressed by a guild alliance in the game, or the deaths of those teammates who were not very important at all, and even the situation in which they were controlled now, all were blamed on the two of them.
With the support of evil thoughts, the personal skills of these players were further enhanced. Flying knives, poison gas, and spears attacked the two without any hesitation. After all, these players were bewitched. It was not easy for Nan Huan to defend them. Moreover, in her current view, these were nothing, so she stretched out her wings first and jumped up with Bei Xi.
Bei Xi intended to give the other party a taste of pain. The Scepter of Infernape slipped out from his sleeves and hit those people hard. The black air retreated from the players' bodies like a tide. However, after being hit by the Scepter of Infernape, those people stood there for a long time and could only feel the pain slowly wandering around their bodies.
However, Nan Huan and Bei Xi no longer cared about what was happening behind them, but went straight to the biochemical area. Even though the other wards of the Monster Hospital were fully open, this area was still covered with thick black fog, as if it was a well-protected area, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
But when the two people approached, it opened its left and right tail wings like a butterfly, welcoming the two people to enter. But when the two people were blinded by the black mist, Bei Xi seemed to have sensed something, and drew out the long dragon bone knife, blocking the two people.
The violent sound of metal collision scratched everyone's eardrums. Nan Huan instinctively closed his eyes, feeling the sword in front of him, not worried about being hurt at all.
A moment later, the two of them landed on the ground. She opened her eyes and saw Man Wugui holding a sword made of black air in his hand. Apart from being forged from black air, the sword was no different from the dragon bone knife in Bei Xi's hand.
The evil god standing next to her had a leisurely look and a hint of impatience on his face, as if her wish of many years would be fully realized in the next moment.
Bei Xi did not let this state of confrontation last too long. She gathered up the dragon bone knife in her hand, and before anyone else could react, she had already stabbed it directly at the evil god's chest, "Give me back the heart fragment..."
Man Wugui was originally one with Beixi, but separated from Beixi because he had his own spiritual orifice. However, the fundamental connection, even if both of them did not want to admit it, actually existed. So even though Nan Huan and the evil god did not expect it, Man Wugui reacted in the first moment, holding his dragon bone knife made of black air and directly blocked Beixi's attack.
The sound of violent metal collision was heard again. Man Wugui was forced to retreat two steps. The knife in her hand trembled slightly, and surprise flashed in her eyes. She seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she was soon caught off guard by Bei Xi's attack again and had no time to think more.
"Fake, do you think the dragon bone knife made of black energy can be compared with the real one?"
Bei Xi had disliked Man Wugui for a long time, and now that she finally had a chance to meet him face to face, she naturally wanted to get rid of him directly. Man Wugui was well aware of the power of the knife in his hand, and although he felt that something was wrong, he was still provoked by the other party's words.
"It doesn't matter if it's a fake or a genuine product. After today, you will completely disappear from this world. I will completely occupy all your consciousness, and you will become dominated by the existence you hate the most..."
Bei Xi stopped talking nonsense to the other party. The knife he took back turned into the Scepter of Infernape. Man Wugui seemed to have a buff that allowed him to update his weapon at any time. In a blink of an eye, the Scepter of Infernape turned into the same one as Bei Xi's, except that it was made of black air.
When the two scepters collided, the entire game space shook.
"You are no match for me," the evil god who was standing still finally calmed down from the excitement she had just felt. She looked at Nan Huan who was not far away and showed no sign of taking action. "Besides, I have already embedded the missing piece of your heart into my own body."
No one knew what the evil god did, but the area of his heart suddenly revealed itself. Nan Huan and Bei Xi both saw that the last piece of heart fragment was firmly embedded in the other party's body, with countless black air entwined on it, greedily absorbing the power of the fragment.
"Back then, I really didn't expect you to make such a choice," the evil god seemed to have made up her mind to chat with Nan Huan first. She took two steps forward but didn't get any closer, as if she wanted to see the expression on Nan Huan's face clearly. "Others don't know the time of my birth, but you should be the one who knows it best. I always thought you would rather kill her directly than let the world be in danger, but I didn't expect that at the last moment, you would make such a fuss for a person. But only I know clearly what the evil thoughts in your heart are. If she knew what you had in mind at that time, would she be willing to give up herself and fulfill your wish?"
Nan Huan's expression had not changed since the evil god started talking. It was not until this moment that she showed a hint of impatience, as if she did not want to face the question raised by the evil god. "Don't think you know me very well. If you could have stayed in the death cave honestly back then, there wouldn't be the situation today. Do you think I don't know that you deliberately let her go that day, but you didn't mean it?"
The two of them were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They were familiar with each other's pain points and everything about each other, and whenever they spoke, they would touch on the points that the other cared about most.
Although the evil god looked unhappy, he calmed down for a moment and then put on a fake smile. "But even if you were brave at the beginning, after so many years, everything is back to square one. You still have to sacrifice her to save everyone. What's the difference from before?"
"So it's meaningless that I've been locked up here by you for so long," the evil god's voice suddenly became more bewitching. "No, to be precise, it still has some meaning. After all, I got your heart fragment and cultivated so many evil thoughts here. You are no longer my opponent. Today I will let you see the true face of this ugly world and let you see that it is not worth your protection at all..."
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Nan Huan to speak again, the evil god waved his hand, and a hundred-foot-high wall made of black air appeared in front of Nan Huan, leaning towards her like a mountain pressing down on her.
The golden light on Nan Huan's body formed a protective layer in an instant, blocking the crumbling high wall with a low front and high back posture. Just when she was about to wave away the black wall in front of her, the black wall seemed to be able to sense it, and with the point of contact with the golden light as the center, a golden matrix spread out in all directions. The golden light with black air formed a protective shield on the surface of the black wall. The black wall hidden behind the protective shield did not retreat at all because of Nan Huan's action.
On the contrary, because of the protective shield on the surface of the black wall, the black wall was moved closer to the direction of Nanhuan. Such a big commotion here naturally attracted the attention of Beixi and Man Wugui. Beixi knew what Nanhua wanted to do. Although the two had not communicated more before entering here, Beixi and the other party were very tacitly connected.
Seeing that the evil god had already attached the heart fragments to the high wall, he instantly ended the futile battle with Man Wugui and chose to rush forward, carrying the Scepter of Wujian, and swooped down from the top of the high wall, directly hitting the center point.
However, the expected scene of the last piece of heart fragment breaking away from the black air and returning to Nan Huan's body never appeared. Instead, the black wall continued to absorb the surrounding black air as it moved forward. The original appearance of the biochemical zone was finally restored. The extremely thick black air that had been cultivated by the evil god for so long and originally attached to this place all attached to the black wall, breaking through the protective circle on Nan Huan's body with a devastating force.
"What's going on?" Bei Xi turned around and stood in front of Nan Huan. "How is this possible?"
As she spoke, she wanted Nan Huan to leave temporarily and think of a way out, so that she could hold on first. However, the hand she stretched out did not touch Nan Huan. Instead, it was just grasped by him. Nan Huan's body had already been pressed against her back without her knowing. "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Her tone was very calm. She didn't seem shocked at all by the scene. On the contrary, she had a feeling of being confident of winning. Bei Xi instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't understand what the other party meant for a moment.
In addition, her questioning seemed to have attracted the attention of the evil god, who smiled maliciously and explained to her very considerately, "How is it impossible? Don't you really think that after her heart is torn into pieces, the number of pieces will still determine the strength of her ability?"
A light sigh came from the other person's throat, and then he waved his hand and stood behind the black wall with Man Wugui, watching the scene in front of them as the two of them were gradually immersed in the black air.
"She is Shenqi, born with power that others cannot match. Her heart is naturally where all power is gathered. As long as she keeps this heart, she will never die. But for you, she was willing to give up her heart. That is something that anyone with a bad heart would want, but she just gave it up in vain."
The black wall in front of him had already pressed down, and Bei Xi could hardly see the evil god and Man Wugui in front of him. He could only listen to the other party's somewhat disdainful voices through the sticky black fog.
"Not to mention how much energy she has wasted in protecting you all, just look at how long ago she found these four heart fragments. Do you really think this is just like building blocks, where you can just find them and put them in place without having to match them or respond to them? But this last heart fragment is different. It has been with me for thousands of years and has long been integrated into my flesh and blood. It is also nourished by endless black energy. It no longer belongs to Shen Qi, but to me. Its power is greater than you can imagine. How can those heart fragments that have finally smelled the same kind of breath after many years be able to stop it..."
"And you are about to get the most naked truth before your consciousness completely disappears. See what kind of attitude the person who you thought held you at the top of his heart has towards your existence. I can't wait to see the expression on your face..." The evil god finally showed a hearty smile, and the black wall had completely pressed down, directly swallowing up Beixi and Nanhuan.
Bei Xi had already changed from being hugged from behind by Nan Huan to holding the person in his arms.
She has always been a little bit bothered by the evil god's words, but she always feels that something is not right. When Nan Huan in her arms was completely immersed in this black air, it seemed as if his heart suddenly had an immune response, and he began to struggle violently like a fish out of water.
The situation here was unclear. Bei Xi didn't want to let go of the person in her arms easily, especially after the other party's ambiguous words of comfort. She could only hold the person tightly in her arms, "Anan, what's wrong with you? Anan?"
She tried to use her voice to make the other person regain his sanity. Nan Huan calmed down after her comfort for a long time. But before Bei Xi could check carefully, the person in her arms suddenly stood up. Obviously, in this environment, she should not be able to see Nan Huan's expression, but when Bei Xi looked up, she saw a pair of extremely dark eyes.
"Do you know?" Nan Huan suddenly spoke. Her voice was not much different from before, but her tone was extremely cold. Even when she looked at Bei Xi's eyes, there were some emotions that she could not understand. "If you had not been born, perhaps everything would not have come to this point today. In a sense, your existence is a mistake."
Although Bei Xi had had such thoughts when she learned all the memories, and had repeatedly had such thoughts in her mind, wondering whether Nan Huan had ever felt this way, but the first time she heard Nan Huan say these words so seriously and look at her with such a cold expression, she still felt that the hand she was holding began to get cold, and the coldness instantly traveled through her whole body. Her fingers began to stiffen, and she watched helplessly as the other person got up from her arms and stood a few steps away from her.
Bei Xi was in a trance, not knowing what to say, and it seemed that all words were extremely pale at this moment. She knew that Nan Huan was right in front of her, and she knew that what he said was because he was controlled by the black air, but at the same time she was also very clear in her heart that these evil thoughts only stimulated the thoughts that existed in Nan Huan's mind. Although the other party had never put them into practice, those words were still like icicles in the coldest days of winter, sinking into her body little by little.
"It's okay," Bei Xi opened her mouth after a long while, not knowing whether she was comforting the other person or herself, "Any normal person would have such thoughts. It's not your fault, it's not your fault."
Nan Huan was still a few steps away from Bei Xi. The cold expression on her face seemed to have a crack because of the other party's words, but it quickly returned to normal. Bei Xi was immersed in her own emotions and did not notice this. She was still muttering to herself and making excuses for Nan Huan.
"I know it was the evil god that influenced you. It was these evil thoughts that affected you. I don't blame you. I don't care. Really, didn't your chest hurt a lot just now? Is it better? Can you let me check you?"
Bei Xi was very concerned about Nan Huan's discomfort just now. Perhaps she realized that she didn't have much time left, and she seemed to be deliberately avoiding Nan Huan's words. She tried her best to hide her uneasiness.
