Chapter 108 Brothers in Distress
Late at night, Li Li returned to the real world again with the system's prompt sound.
She saw what happened to Ichimura and his friends in a comic.
During the day, Chao Xi got the news that a mysterious noble family entered the city of sighs in a winged carriage. They didn't know where they came from, nor did they know their supernatural powers. Yiming and his team were going to investigate this.
At present, the top combat forces of the tide have their own things to do, so these tasks fell on them. Yiming, Tang, and An Huyu have actually cooperated many times, while Yu Xiao and An Huyu have never fought together, but he and Yiming have experience in cooperation. This time, as long as the appearance and origin of the noble family are confirmed, the mission will be completed, which means that An Huyu can retire after meeting this person, which is not particularly difficult.
But since it was published in the comics, this operation was not going to be smooth sailing.
They ran into the princess, and Princess Wuyu happened to be next to one of the two people who were guarding An Huyu that day. One of them was killed by An Heyu, and he was left behind because of time and energy reasons, so this psychic happened to be full of hatred towards An Huyu.
Princess Wu Yu did not stop them, and Yi Ming and the others faced the S-rank psychic head-on.
Because of the experience of the last enemy, they were able to use their experience to hold on to the high-level esper and look for opportunities to escape. However, as the S-level esper got serious, Yu Xiao was caught again.
Li Li glanced at the barrage of comments, and as expected, they were all "Why are you here again, Yu Xiao baby?", with one person even commenting "On this day, bad luck has returned from Crybaby to Yu Xiao baby."
In the comic, Yu Xiao had a dazed expression at first, the same as when he was arrested in Sitong City.
An Huyu and Yi Mingda cooperated to try to rescue Yu Xiao from the S-rank psychic, and Tang treated them at any time in a place that would not affect them.
She has already reached rank B and can barely perform her special powers remotely.
Princess Misty Rain, who was also unable to participate in the battle, stood in a distance in a jeweled miniskirt, watching coldly as her former childhood playmate stood on the enemy side.
Her eyes were calm and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
The scene changed, and the stunned expression of Yu Xiao, who was under control, suddenly changed.
He frowned slightly, then raised his head slightly, as if looking around.
The plot continues. After this episode, An Huyu thinks quickly and uses his supernatural power [Requiem]. He tries to mark Yu Xiao, hoping to increase his supernatural power and let him save himself with his own supernatural power.
An Huyu's ability can mark people with lower levels than him in the area, adding positive or negative status at will. It is like the control auxiliary in the online game, but facing the same level or higher level, the success rate is greatly reduced, and there is no possibility of success at all.
Unless the opponent voluntarily accepts his supernatural power, how could the enemy be willing to surrender himself to An Huyu, so this ability can only allow An Huyu to add status to his teammates for the time being.
In addition, if a person he marks dies in his domain, the soul will remain sane for one day.
After a normal person dies, the soul energy will dissipate over time, and basically they will not be able to think normally after three or four hours. However, the speed of dissipation of the undead soul under An Huyu's ability slowed down during this day, which is equivalent to the soul energy consumption state of three hours under natural conditions. After one day, the mind disappears and the energy body continues to dissipate.
But on this day, the undead can be controlled by An Huyu and can move freely around him.
Currently, the undead that An Huyu can collect are the Tide members who died in the past few days, as well as the psychics who died on the princess' side.
This is why Li Li did not try to follow them to see the scene. She simply could not accept the supernatural power of a bunch of floating energy bodies emerging from the ground when this area was opened.
In comparison, the object that An Heyu was controlling was at least a physical object, so it wouldn't pass through his hands, nor would it float around like it had no weight.
An Huyu had never fought alongside Yu Xiao before, so this was his first time trying to mark Yu Xiao.
Because this plan can only work when the enemy is not paying attention, the comic shows his psychological activities when making the plan. Then he did not say hello to anyone, but used his supernatural power directly on Yu Xiao.
In the next frame of the comic, An Huyu showed a somewhat stunned expression.
Just because of this untimely distraction, An Huyu was overwhelmed by the S-level supernatural power amidst a nervous cry.
Thick smoke occupied most of the screen. After a few transitional screens, with Kazumi and the others looking shocked and sad, and the S-rank enemy laughing happily, a butterfly's wings flew out from the smoke like a sharp blade and slashed the throat of the S-rank psychic.
That is Uncle Lin Ruye’s special ability. ▓
A large number of butterflies flew out of the screen, enveloping the S-rank psychic.
Princess Wuyu's eyes moved, and she murmured, "Sure enough."
"You were the first person to come to me at that time. I didn't recognize the wrong person."
The smoke cleared and An Huyu remained in shock. In front of him stood a man in a hooded cape.
The wind blew down his hood, revealing a strange face.
"Uncle Lin?" An Huyu, who grew up in the floating city, recognized him.
Then he couldn't help but say: "The nobles of the Rin family in Somemu City should all be dead, why...?"
The undead did not answer; Princess Misty Rain spoke first.
"You have confirmed a hypothesis for me." She walked down the stairs, seemingly not caring at all that the nobles covered with butterflies were about to die. She looked at the mess after the battle and the few people who were still alive: "Your purpose is very simple and easy to understand. As a reward, I can tell you."
Lines shot out from behind her profile and rushed towards the people present. The undead leaped forward, and the butterflies seemed to form a wall to block it.
The butterfly was pierced by a thread, and Li Li had already recognized what it was outside of the comics.
The Qu family is a noble family with blood superpowers.
Sure enough, in the next square, a person who looked a bit like Qu Yan appeared next to the princess.
"My ability is not as good as Brother Yan's, and I cannot kill instantly. I can only trace the source." The newly appeared noble, that is, the mysterious noble that Chao Xi wanted to know, said, "But it is enough to find you."
After his bloodline comes into contact with superpowers, he can find the user of the superpowers from the superpowers. Because he has no killing power, he can even see through the double superpowers of the undead.
"Since you are still alive and hanging out with the illusionist," he said as An Huyu's eyes widened, "then you must have contributed to Brother Yan's death."
The thread that penetrated the butterfly suddenly seemed to be on fire, and the tiny fragments that made up the flame were like rays of light refracted by a mirror, zigzagging and disappearing into the jungle behind them.
The bloodline followed closely behind, cutting down and clearing out the covering trees. Under the protection of this, the debris brought up a gust of wind and sank into the brows of the people standing in the woods.
The wind and leaves blew past him in an instant, and his hood was blown down. His reserved and noble posture, his face was very similar to An Huyu's.
The man lowered his eyes and uttered slowly, "Hmm."
The fluttering leaves blew up the strands of hair by his ears, as if reversing the clock of time and taking his thoughts back to the past.
Back to the day they mentioned.
In the mansion whose ceiling had been torn down by a high-level psychic, in the center of the hall with blurry corpses at his feet, he started.
At the end of his sight, there was a black-haired young man who raised his knife and looked down at him with a smile.
"I think I came at the right time?"
...
The comic ends here, followed by a sentence.
'Next issue will be suspended'
Li Li carefully turned back to the first update page, then back again, and finally confirmed one thing.
This episode is really shortened. The cartoonist was really lazy!
The cartoonist is also on hiatus!
"System, do you think the comic family is doing okay?" she said with some empathy.
The manga artist who gets sick and tired and takes a break when the story is progressing well is, as expected, a real person. So the manga artist who updates once every three days is risking his life to draw comics!
Li Li thinks that most cartoonists still have a job.
room, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to the hospital now.
As for why cartoonists can draw these comics, Li Li speculates that it has something to do with the system.
She works hard in the comic world, and cartoonists work hard in the real world. Li Li really feels that they are like brothers in distress.
Hospital beds, this is the destination of overwork!
I think she almost died, in a bed in the hospital morgue.
As for the reason why they work so hard, it has something to do with the system.
[Please explore on your own.] The system seems to have only this sentence.
Li Li was used to it, so she didn't say anything. She entered the chat room, and sure enough, the group was discussing this matter.
She didn't reply, but just glanced at the screen.
[Hanzhi]: It’s really on hiatus! Damn it! It’s stuck in this place!
[Hanzhi]: I want to see Big Brother Heige! Wuwuwuwuwu, I have a feeling that I will appear in the next episode! It will take up a large part!
[Hanzhi]: Why is it on hiatus? Why? Cartoonists, hurry up and get up and write comics for me!
[Lazy]: Lulu, let’s be honest, you know so much information, do you have any special channels?
[Lulu]: Yes, if I must say, this comic website is mine.
[Convenience]:???
[Lazy]: ?????
[Meow]:? ? ? ? ?
...
"System, do you have anything to say?" Li Li looked at the chat room and asked again.
System: [Please explore on your own.]
So Li Li sincerely prayed for the cartoonist: "Live strong, cartoonist!"
She began to want to meet this fellow sufferer in real life.
...
Even though the cartoonist is on hiatus, Li Li still has to go to the comic world.
Li Li made some guesses and she estimated that the cartoonist would have to work overtime to finish the comics after he recovered from his illness.
For a moment, I couldn't tell who was more unlucky.
When Li Li came to the comic world, it was the same time as the last time she left. She had returned to the house, lying on a recliner under the moonlight, looking at the stars outside the window.
"Click." The door opened.
Li Li didn't look. She listened to the footsteps. It was neither An Heyu nor Dan.
"Aren't you going to bed?"
It’s Yu Xiao.
He came over, and his face, which was always confused and looked very stupid, now showed some complicated emotions.
It seems like care.
Li Li recalled the comics and the plots in them.
After being captured by the enemy, Yu Xiao's behavior was inconsistent with his previous personality for a while, as if he suddenly didn't know why he was there, and seemed like he had become a different person.
Just like now.
Li Li turned her head and her eyes met Yu Xiao's pupils.
Then she turned around and said, "No."
