Chapter 93: Evil Dog
This is an illusion.
It was clearly an illusion.
Lin Ruye was aware of this, his opponent was an illusionist, and he had just seen Lin Ran's corpse in the early morning.
He had seen the bloodstained face only hours ago.
"How long has it been since we last met?" But the orange-haired woman looked at him and spoke to him calmly in a tone that sounded cold to him but was something he hadn't heard in a long time.
He hadn't heard her voice for a long time.
This is an illusion, he told himself.
But he still lowered his head uncontrollably and looked at the ground.
Just like when we were kids.
"Four years," he whispered.
He hadn't been to the attic where Lin Ran lived to see his mother for four years.
"Why don't you come see me?" asked the illusion of the orange-haired woman.
Lin Ruye couldn't help biting his lips, tearing them hard, filling his mouth with the taste of rust.
He knew it was an illusion, but at this moment, he could not soberly escape from this cursed scene.
His power is called Curse of the Witch, and this is the curse he bears.
"Because..." He recalled that day four years ago.
He still remembered that night, the candlelight was just as dim, trembling like his restless heart.
But when I think about it, I feel so happy, so happy that I want to cry.
"You don't want to see me." But he slowly raised his head, his tone gradually became steady, looking at the phantom, or perhaps speaking through the illusion to his dead mother, "Because I stabbed you here, imprisoned your power, and destroyed your city of order."
"Creating eternal night."
This was the only time he realized that Lin Ran treated him as his son.
Lin Ran, who had the ability to observe everything around him, only realized what Lin Ruye was going to do when he approached and stabbed him in the waist with a dagger.
As the blood spurted, the boa constrictor sank into the body of the SS-rank psychic, and continued to absorb the power of the psychic under the influence of the psychic power.
Lin Ran just widened his eyes slightly and looked at him with a confused and puzzled look.
She had no defenses against him.
She treated him differently.
At that moment, Lin Ruye's heart felt full, as if a bottomless void had been filled.
"I saw you lose everything: money, power, status. The more you want something, the less you get it. The more you hold on to something, the more it will slip away from you."
In the afternoon six years ago, the man with long light blond hair spoke calmly.
He is called the prophet. He is a liar in Lin Ran's eyes, and also a high-risk psychic that Lin Ran is wary of.
He, who had become a prisoner, looked at the half-grown boy outside the cell and smiled.
"You obeyed your mother's orders, and then were abandoned by her, becoming an insignificant corpse in her order."
"And after you died, she treated the man who killed you as her son." The man chuckled, "She completely let you go."
If this is true, then what is he?
"Why not resist her?" he whispered.
Six years ago, the orange-haired boy loudly refuted the man's words.
A few days later, the man was beheaded, Ranmu City was established, and more than 10,000 people were killed in the three days of Ranmu.
Cold and merciless.
At this moment, he looked at the illusion created by the magician, at the phantom of his mother who no longer existed and could not communicate, and said, "You said that man was a liar, but what he said was clearly right."
In her mother's mind, she was no different from the common people.
She would really abandon him.
So he hurt his mother and used insects to weaken her power, leaving her with no spare energy to deal with the situation outside Ranmu City, and she couldn't even fully protect Ranmu City.
Lin Ran wanted order, so he created chaos.
Let everyone indulge their desires, reaffirm the hierarchy, and shatter her order into pieces.
Prove that she was wrong, that her abandonment was unreasonable.
"As long as the night
As long as I exist, you will never forget my existence." He laughed again, "I only regret that I couldn't kill you myself, so that you would see me at the last moment before you die."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tide of insects rose up like a black liquid that defied gravity and filled the small room.
And in the meantime, the phantom's expression was still so empty.
Then it breaks apart in the insect swarm, turning into tiny pieces that are blown away by the wind.
When the illusion was shattered, Lin Ruye stretched out his hand uncontrollably, as if trying to retain something.
But he quickly curled his fingers, feeling ridiculous for his own reaction.
The hut built by the phantom disappeared, revealing the original darkness and ruins. Lin Ruye withdrew his hand and looked around.
"My subordinates were blocked." He said with some surprise.
The next second, the light from the knife tip flickered in the sky, and more than a dozen long knives came towards him.
The tide of insects surged to form a shield, rushing forward to devour the long sword, but the illusion disappeared the moment of contact, and it missed.
"Because I also have a capable helper."
The long skirt of the squinty-eyed black-haired girl was blown up by the wind, and her high heels stepped on the insect swarm on the ground.
The action was smooth and fast as lightning. She grasped the hilt of the knife with her backhand, and in an instant the tip of the knife sank into Lin Ruye's back.
Then her figure disappeared, and the long sword fell vertically, revealing that the tip had been gnawed by insects, and then it fell to the ground and was eaten by the swarm of insects until it completely disappeared.
It's like merging oneself with the supernatural power.
This is an S-rank psychic, and it is also an S-rank that has grown by absorbing the nutrients of SS-rank psychics.
Lin Ruye still hasn't reached SS rank, but he is untouchable, unharmed, and the damage from physical attacks is almost zero.
The ability level is suppressed, this is a very difficult enemy.
but.
The phantom once again enveloped the sky. Behind the phantom, Li Li was sitting suspended in the air. She blinked one of her red eyes and turned to look at Dan who was picked up by her.
She won't pick up a burden for nothing.
The same level of supernatural power took effect on his body, and coupled with the damage caused by his previous self-destruction, Dan's face turned pale, and he couldn't stop shaking, occasionally uttering a few whimpering sounds.
"Does it hurt?" Li Li asked.
"It hurts," Dan whispered.
Similar to the limitations of Li Li's ability, when his ability works on someone of the same or higher level, the opponent must feel remorseful, and the same applies when it works on himself.
He couldn't directly eliminate the insects that Lin Ruye had trapped for him, and could only resist Lin Ruye's control when Lin Ruye was not concentrating all his energy on controlling him.
So Li Li raised her hand.
The handle of the knife lifted Dan's black skirt and made him turn in front of Li Li.
Li Li reached out her hand, lifted Dan's chin, and made him look up at her.
The white-haired boy was no longer the same as when we first met. His expression was calm and his clothes were exquisite. His white hair was stained with blood and stuck to his cheeks because of sweat. He frowned and breathed quickly.
"Remember what I said?" She turned her head, opened her eyes, and looked into Dan's eyes with her cold red pupils.
The gold and blue pupils shrank slightly.
"Don't think about anything, don't ponder anything, just listen to me." Li Li said slowly, with the smile on her lips as always.
Dan trembled and opened his pupils wide, as if absorbing the warmth that could fill his entire heart.
The face of the white-haired boy in front of her was reflected in her red eyes. She said, "Your body has recovered, your pain has all disappeared, you are no longer controlled by the enemy, and your condition has returned to its peak."
The supernatural power can turn illusion into reality, and turn lies and falsehood into reality.
For high-level conditions, success can only be judged as a result of the user's wholehearted belief in the condition.
At this moment, under the dark sky, the trembling eyes of this S-level white-haired boy seemed to glow with red fire.
A strong wind suddenly blew, and the patterns on his body faded away like broken ceramics. The wounds on his waist and abdomen healed visibly, and his dirty white hair became brand new, as white and soft as cotton.
The supernatural power was successfully activated, eliminating all the negative effects of Dan. The injuries left by the self-explosion, the injuries caused by Lin Ruye's two uncles, and Lin Ruye's own parasites and control were all eliminated.
Dan believed what Li Li said, even though it was totally unfounded!
"Now, tear the enemy apart."
Li Li lowered her eyes and looked at Dan, her smile deepening.
"My bad dog," she said softly.
Instantly the long sword disappeared, and Dan fell from the air. He turned around, letting the wind blow his skirt to rustle.
"I will do it."
The white-haired boy hugged his bunny stuffed animal tightly.
Lin Ruye got rid of the illusion and turned around. He saw the white-haired boy whom he envied.
"You?" He was surprised.
He should have looked extremely miserable, but at this moment it seemed as if all the injuries he had just suffered had disappeared.
The young man in a little black dress with puff sleeves raised his eyes and looked at Lin Ruye with his pure gold and blue pupils.
"Correction, no insects should live here," he said.
In an instant, a strong wind spread out from his small leather shoes, creating a clearing in the dense swarm of insects.
Then it expanded and expanded, revealing ruins and also the dry grass burned by the fire.
"Dan, you're as annoying as ever." Lin Ruye said with a gloomy face.
"Correction, there should be an abyss rift under the orange-haired man's feet." Dan said calmly.
A huge noise came from underground, and cracks appeared on the surface. With a crackling sound, the ground instantly split open under Lin Ruye's feet, revealing a dark depth with no end in sight.
His puppet was blocked outside, and the insects on Dan, which he should have been able to use, were cleared out, and he was instantly in a complete disadvantage.
“Tsk.”
The orange-haired young man fell down, and when he raised his head, a tide of insects spread up from the depths of the abyss and built a bridge under his feet.
He found a loophole in Dan's supernatural power, and his insects were still able to move below the surface.
At the same time, bugs emerged from the ground and were eliminated by Dan's power the moment they appeared, but the next second the bugs swallowed Dan from the soles of his shoes.
The white-haired young man retracted his foot in pain, and at the same time he raised his voice while Lin Ruye's special ability was not activated.
"Correction! The orange-haired guy should be dead by now!"
Ability error correction initiated.
However, because Lin Ruye showed no remorse at all at this time, the supernatural power was judged to have failed!
"Although I don't know how the illusionist got rid of my insects, can he do this all the time?" The tide of insects lifted Lin Ruye's soles, allowing him to gradually come to the ground.
Dan stared at Lin Ruye, and at this moment the hallucinations began to flow between them again.
The candle flame trembled slightly in the darkness. Behind the candlelight, the orange-haired woman tilted her head slightly and looked at Lin Ruye blankly.
“Ruye,” the illusion said, “I don’t blame you. I just think you’ve been deceived by the prophet.”
Lin Ruye paused slightly. Even though it was the second time, he still couldn't avoid being disturbed.
"It's fake, she will only hate me." Lin Ruye murmured.
He remembered how Lin Ran got angry for the first time after Yong Ye appeared, and he also knew how deeply she hated and resented his behavior.
She just couldn't stop him, so she didn't kill him.
"I always thought you were a good kid." The illusion was deceiving him.
Lin Ran would not say this to him, Lin Ruye knew that.
This is fake, he knows it is fake, but his heart is extremely eager for it.
Desire it to be real.
At this moment.
The tip of the knife emerged from behind the phantom, as if piercing through the phantom's neck.
It was as if he was going to kill his mother all over again right in front of him.
Lin Ruye stretched out his hand subconsciously.
It's too late.
The illusion dissipated, and several long knives appeared in an instant, piercing Lin Ruye's skin and penetrating his chest.
Only then did he realize from the pain that penetrated him why he reacted the way he did.
He kept saying that he wanted to kill Lin Ran, wanted to seize her Ranmu City, and wanted to completely destroy her City of Order.
but
"If she dies, who am I doing this for...?"
The long sword smashed to the ground continuously, and the dust surged upward, gradually dispersing the phantom.
The candle and the person behind the candle disappeared.
He didn't want to lose his mother at all.
The sound of the wind seemed to slow down in his ears, and then sped up the moment he noticed it.
Lin Ruye fell to the ground, his body was in pain, but he didn't feel it.
He seemed to see through the smoke and dust the person floating in the air, looking down at him with a smile.
When he looked over, the man's shape changed, the red wings at the corners of his eyes turned into a silver mask, his hair became longer, and his face became sharp and assertive.
The black long skirt fell to the ankles and turned into a black long windbreaker. The pair of red pupils looked at him, and the smile on the corner of her mouth remained unchanged.
Illusionist, Heiger.
Blood spread behind him, and Lin Ruye's voice became weaker and more unreal.
"You look just like that man," he said.
He looked very similar to the man he had met in prison six years ago.
Just a few words stirred his emotions and then tempted him to go down a path he shouldn't have taken.
"Really?" The illusionist answered vaguely.
