Chapter 95: The Prophet's Back-up Plan
After returning to reality, Li Li's first reaction was that it was impossible.
Was Yu Xiao chased by the big goose all the way from Zhusheng City to Ranmu City? !
Are you kidding me? What a coincidence!
She doesn't believe it.
Just like she didn't believe that her arbitrarily fabricated life story was related to Yiming, she didn't believe that Yu Xiao could get lost from Zhusheng City to Ranmu City. What kind of genius is this?
Although Yu Xiao's character does seem to have this extremely small success rate.
In the bedroom, Li Li turned on the desk lamp, spread a piece of paper on it, and started scribbling on it with a pen to sort out her thoughts.
"Black and White" has been serialized to date, and many new characters have been added in the middle, but the most senior character among the protagonists is Yu Xiao.
He has been by Ikmin's side since the beginning of the comics. He is Ikmin's first companion, a tough guy with lots of troubles and extremely fluctuating luck, and a popular character who ranks high in comic popularity polls just for his face.
It was Yu Xiao who accompanied Yi Ming in the beginning and went on adventures with him. To a certain extent, he gave Yi Ming the motivation to grow and move forward. After all, he had to clean up the troubles caused by Yu Xiao.
Although Yu Xiao often fails to keep up, Yiming is shocked at first but then becomes calm.
Wu Bodong even said that he didn't care about him, but as long as Yu Xiao was in trouble, Yiming would definitely go to save him, just like in the virtual and real chapter.
The image of the character Yu Xiao was determined from the beginning of the comic, and readers never doubted it. After all, the fact that the sunfish traded its intelligence for beauty has become a meme.
Li Li was first a comic reader, and then she entered the comic and played the role of a character in the comic.
Her first impression of people in the comic world comes from the comic world, including Yu Xiao's silly beauty character.
Why did he appear in Somemu Castle? Was it really a coincidence?
Why does he appear in every event but disappear at the critical moment? Is it just a coincidence?
If you think about it carefully, the beginning of the Jiaohuang chapter is that Yu Xiao found the letter from Tang's father, the Zhusheng chapter was also Yu Xiao's suggestion, and the confrontation between the Jinyue and An families in the Xushi chapter, in which Yiming and others intervened, was also because Yu Xiao was arrested.
What a coincidence.
The white paper was gradually filled with words, and then she put down her pen, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket.
She admitted that she had made a preconceived notion.
She regards the comic world as false, and then observes this world from the perspective of a comic reader.
To her, that world was just an illusory stage, but when the cartoonist didn't reveal the foreshadowing, everything was possible. Just like the relationship between Li and Heigl, and the turmoil six years ago that had not yet been revealed in the comics.
She should be more careful, and she should be.
Her experience in Somemu Castle made her feel that things were even more confusing, whether it was the imperial family, the whereabouts of high-level psychics, her arrival, and the existence of the system.
But she was not unprepared.
No matter what Yu Xiao's purpose is, whether he is a real fool or a fake fool, as long as he is in front of her, she can see what kind of fish he is.
After sorting out her thoughts, Li Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The next comic update will be about Sang Feiling and the prophet, and she might be able to get some information from it.
A few days later, the comics were updated at midnight on Wednesday night.
Today's update is the main story of the comic, which continues the content of the previous chapter. The comic begins from Yan Changxiao's perspective.
He was instantly at a disadvantage due to his opponent's unexpected supernatural power, and the situation on the field was instantly reversed. The nobles of the Sang family sat high up, admiring the blood and violence, as well as the challenger's final despair.
But he miscalculated.
In the arena of life and death, the man who had been determined to fight to the death from the beginning was pinned to the ground.
The opponent raised his fist high, and he, like a wild and untamed wolf, raised his body and bit his opponent's neck.
Give up? He won't give up.
Yan Changxiao's strength lies in his physical training and excellent physical skills, and more importantly, in his rich combat experience.
And at this point in the battle he hasn't even started using his special powers!
The supernatural power of this seemingly muscular man is like soft grass, vibrant flowers and their fragrance.
The flourishing of life brings new life to the arena forged by blood and death.
The soft and boneless flowers and plants climbed up the human limbs, absorbed the blood and grew, irrigated them with their own hot blood, shed their fragile outer coats, and became extremely strong.
Mimic type, hot-blooded flower.
It is a sacrifice, but also a stubbornness that never gives up.
When he is at his weakest, that is also when he is at his strongest.
The scene changed, and in the cell at the bottom, Yiming asked Sang Feiling the question that all readers were concerned about.
"Do you know me?" he asked puzzled.
The chain made a trembling sound, and Sang Feiling subconsciously smiled brightly and gently, but his facial muscles seemed stiff as if he had not moved them for a long time.
"Yes, six years ago, before my husband decided to die, he told me a prophecy," she said.
The scene changed, and Sang Feiling's narration came to six years ago, when she received a letter from an unidentified person.
"He said that he would die and their guild would be taken over and become a pawn of the nobles."
"Our companions died, were enslaved and killed, and our dawn is beyond our reach."
Under the scorching sun, the companions who were smiling at each other closed their eyes forever in the next screen.
Blood, broken limbs, and the unstoppable sorrow that precedes death.
The sun that belonged to them sank below the horizon. The long-haired man whose face could not be seen knelt on the platform. Under the sharp blade, he finally turned his head and looked at the disappearing afterglow.
"This is a desperate situation, an inevitable future, and a final destination that cannot be changed."
The candlelight flickered, and the woman with half of her face destroyed had a dim look in her eyes as she spoke.
Then it lights up again.
"But this is not the end." She looked at the young boy and girl outside the cell, and at the brown-haired boy standing in the front, looking at her without avoiding or dodging.
"In six years, we will have a rising star, a life that belongs to us."
"Our death will have meaning. The fire we left behind will carry on our unfulfilled wishes and lead us to see the glory of dawn again."
She seemed to have memorized these words for a long time. In this dark space, she closed her eyes and recalled them over and over again, engraving these words deeply in her heart.
"And I will stay here, alive and well." She extended her hand to Yiming.
Even if it's painful, even if it's numb, even if it's despairing under the destruction day after day.
She still stayed in the prison, waiting for the person in the prophecy to appear.
Afterwards
"Tell you the truth, everything you want to know."
In the picture, outside the range illuminated by the candlelight, Yiming stood in the shadows outside the prison cell, his eyes slightly widened.
He lowered his head and asked, "Six years ago?"
This was the time when his adoptive father Frost left without saying goodbye.
"What does the fire left behind mean?" he asked.
Sang Feiling asked, "Do you still remember your adoptive father?"
It actually directly revealed the existence of Frost Buyan!
In this small prison, Sang Feiling brought Yiming news that he had never known.
His adoptive father had already died, in a corner unknown to him.
Just like his adoptive father's education and the rules of the world, he sacrificed his life for ordinary people and low-level supernaturals in places that no one could see, and they shed their blood in places that no one could see.
The former members of the Superpower Guild fought, and then fell in the darkness before dawn.
Ichimiya recalled what the black-haired young man, whom he once regarded as an enemy, had said.
If he is not strong, he can do nothing. He can't save anyone, not even himself.
"But a strong person cannot protect anyone," he whispered.
Just like his adoptive father, just like Yan Changxiao, just like An Huyu's brother, and just like many people he met along the way.
It was also like Li Baige who had her back to him and refused to let him get close to her in the name of being weak.
"It is useless for individuals to be strong. All the injustices they experience are because of this social system."
Why didn't you ask him to protect himself? Because he was so weak that he could only protect himself.
He had never thought about why before, but now he seemed to understand.
He doesn't like this world that separates him from his family and peers.
Because he had lost something, he didn't want others to experience the same feeling.
The only way is what Sang Feiling said.
Overthrow the existing system and usher in a new dawn.
"The master said that he would give you the right to choose." Sang Feiling said. Even though she had wasted six years here, she still did not force the person she was waiting for to do anything. Instead, she said, "I will not force you, because it is very dangerous, but I hope..."
"I'll join." Yiming raised his head, his eyes determined.
The perspective changed again and the scene returned to the ring.
The flower that absorbed the blood of the mutant showed its sharp side. Its soft branches surrounded the enemy and the arena was shrouded in vibrant green between its branches and leaves.
They blocked the view from the audience seats, and also blocked the amusement-seeking eyes of the Sang nobles.
The member of the Sang noble family sat up straight, the mockery in his eyes faded away, and for the first time he looked seriously at the green.
And in this space wrapped by vines and flowers.
"The weaker I am, the stronger my powers become."
Yan Changxiao did not hide his supernatural powers, but told the truth to his opponent.
He had fallen to the ground, the blood spreading out under him and then being absorbed by the branches, becoming even thicker.
He looked at the enemy who was surrounded by branches and flowers, all attacks were ineffective, and even his face was covered with green.
“When I’m about to die, my powers become invincible,” he said. “That’s my essence.”
In this era where weak people have no way to survive and everything is controlled by powerful superpowers, his will. ▃
The branches tightened and his opponent groaned in pain.
All his attacks were unable to cut through this fragile branch, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from its shackles.
This is the powerful force that erupts from life and an indestructible soul.
Bones make snapping sounds.
"Switch!"
In the end, the superpower chose to retreat.
In an instant, the two people's states were reversed, and Yan Changxiao's physical strength returned.
The branches became so fragile that they would fall off with just a slight shake.
But the wolf had already locked onto its prey.
The fist came in an instant, breaking through the green plants and piercing his opponent's heart as he stared in astonishment.
The green plants that blocked the audience's view on the perimeter withered, revealing the two people standing on the stage.
The noble Sang family stood up on a high place and looked down at the two people below.
"Sang Feiling's disciple, a commoner, can do this." he said.
