Chapter 204: The Cautious Awakener Begins to Doubt Life



The fresh tomatoes seemed to have a juicy sound that reached my ears.

This made Liu Xinyue, who was walking in a large vegetable market in Linjiang City, pick up a tomato from the stall in front of her with a little interest.

The proprietress at the stall smiled warmly at Liu Xinyue.

The voice of his inner thoughts also entered Liu Xinyue's mind: "It seems that he is a young man who has no concept of weight. He can do something with it."

Hearing these words, Liu Xinyue's face remained calm.

She had seen this kind of inconsistency too many times in the past six months.

Looking at the tomatoes in her hand that made sounds like "juicy" and "fresh", Liu Xinyue's thoughts couldn't help but reminisce a little.

She is an ordinary online writer.

At least half a year ago, she thought she was pretty average.

Every day when I wake up, I find myself owing thousands of words, and I work all year round just to get that little bit of royalties.

Usually I’m either thinking about the plot or wondering whether to order takeout today.

But until one day more than half a year ago.

She found herself changed.

When she was relaxing in a mountain area and almost missed a step and fell into a deep abyss, she suddenly found herself becoming completely different with her trembling body.

There is great terror between life and death, but some great opportunities also come along with her turbulent mood.

Sitting on the edge of a desolate cliff, at that moment, the world became clear.

Many "voices" that should have been inaudible kept pouring into her mind.

She thought she heard the wind calling.

I heard the flowers, plants and trees humming.

I heard the blue sky singing.

This ability to listen to the sounds of all things opened the door to a new world for her.

Everything seemed as if she had been stripped naked and was allowed to experience the truth.

On the way back to Linjiang City, the chaotic sounds became more complicated.

Different sounds coming from tall buildings, busy traffic, and people coming and going continuously break into the mind of an ordinary person like her.

This made her feel uncomfortable.

But maybe it’s because I’m an online writer.

Or maybe it's because I have some hidden talent.

In short, she found that she had extraordinary receptiveness and extreme emotional calm.

She accepts calmly the ability to hear the voice of all things.

What followed was a period of adaptation and habituation, and she soon mastered this ability to the point of basic proficiency.

So, she is just an ordinary person.

From then on, life became more colorful.

The sky will tell her today's weather, which is more accurate than the weather forecast that broadcasts yesterday's weather conditions.

The plants and flesh in the market will tell her how fresh they are, allowing her to always choose the freshest ingredients.

Even the inner thoughts of every person passing by were clearly visible to Liu Xinyue, showing her all the different faces of each person.

After this, Liu Xinyue plans to continue living like this.

Apart from the fact that she has changed from a stay-at-home girl to someone who is willing to go out, she is still leading an ordinary life that is no different from usual.

She did not pursue any high-end enjoyment, but was careful to keep a low profile, almost no different from her usual self.

Because the day she gained the ability, she began to think that everything around her might be dangerous.

There is no reason why there is only one special her in the world.

And in fact, it is true. The world is indeed more terrifying than she originally thought.

Occasionally, she could hear the presence of some inaudible people on the street. When she wanted to investigate carefully, her ability to hear the sounds of all things began to frantically remind her of danger.

Therefore, she became more cautious, knowing that she could not develop much combat power.

This world is more complicated than she knows.

Being cautious is the way to deal with people.

Even though she has no social interaction as an online writer, she still carefully handles and disguises all her behaviors in society.

Such peaceful days did not last long.

One day later, she heard a sound that sounded like a wail in the river that had been rushing for thousands of years in Linjiang City.

This cry does not come from the river, but from the ocean bordering the river. It is the cry of countless creatures in that vast ocean.

After that, she learned about the news about nuclear wastewater.

She understood that the cries she heard came from countless lives in the ocean.

Within two days, news about Godzilla followed.

The whole world was shocked.

Liu Xinyue nodded seriously.

This made her, who had always been cautious, take a deep breath and secretly affirm her cautious behavior.

That’s right, the water in this world is indeed too deep!

Such terrifying monsters appeared!

The cautious style must continue! So, she became even more cautious next.

Even when those boastful friends in the online writer chat group came to her to discuss Godzilla, she simply chose not to care.

Even after Godzilla appeared, there was no news, as if he was dealt with quietly.

She also looked like she didn't want to care too much.

It's nothing more than the absurdly deep water in this world "drowned" the ignorant Godzilla. Sometimes, the less you know, the safer you are.

She didn't want to care too much.

To live a good and peaceful life is her greatest wish after gaining the ability.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinyue looked at the proprietress in front of her, whose face was still enthusiastic, but in her heart she had impatiently scolded her a thousand times.

Just as she was about to put down the tomatoes as if nothing had happened and decided never to come to this store to buy vegetables again.

A chaotic and extremely confusing sound suddenly filled her mind.

It was a sound she had never heard before.

It seems like a gathering of countless living beings.

It was as if the cries of countless lives before death were gathered together.

Such a sound is particularly harsh.

The change in sound was even more unacceptable than the sudden change from the mountains and fields to the steel city.

Despair, suffocation, pain, anger, sadness, helplessness, fear...

Too many extremely strong negative emotions are rushing in.

It seemed to have condensed the malice of the entire world.

After just two seconds of listening, Liu Xinyue, who was buying vegetables in the market, trembled and felt a sense of fear from the bottom of her heart.

I squeezed the tomato in my hand unconsciously, and my hands were covered with juice.

The next moment, the "sound" became more intense.

Liu Xinyue unconsciously covered her ears and knelt on the ground.

Countless negative emotions made Liu Xinyue feel helpless and suffocated, as if she was going to be washed away to death by this torrent of negative emotions.

Liu Xinyue's body was trembling.

She completely turned a deaf ear to the boss lady's scolding.

Or rather, there is absolutely no way to care.

She used to be delighted by her special ability, but now she wishes she had never had this special ability to listen to the sounds of all things.

At this moment, she just wanted to try every possible way to shut down this special ability that had lasted for more than half a year.

After a long time.

Maybe it's because of the pressure.

Liu Xinyue, who had never been able to turn off this special ability, vaguely found the trick and turned off this special ability to listen to the sounds of all things in one go.

The long-lost tranquility flooded into my mind, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.

A feeling of relaxation fills my whole body.

Liu Xinyue breathed in the air greedily, like a person who had been suffocating in the sea and finally came ashore.

The people around subconsciously cast strange looks at them.

Liu Xinyue, who was squatting on the ground, slowly dragged her weak body to stand up and wiped the tomato juice on the edge of her ear with her clean palm.

Looking at the proprietress who was looking at her with surprise, and at the people around her who were taking a few steps away and unwilling to get closer, Liu Xinyue didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Even though she had now shut down her ability to hear the sounds of all things, she could still understand the meaning behind the look in the eyes of the proprietress looking at the madman.

After pondering for a moment, she didn't intend to say anything more.

The still bustling vegetable market around her indicated one thing: she was the only one who, with her special ability, heard the extreme malice.

Right now, she just wanted to figure out what had happened.

What is this extreme malice?

She turned around and tried to leave.

But when she turned around and subconsciously looked through the glass ceiling of the vegetable market, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

"Hey, you don't want to pay for the tomatoes you squeezed?"

"I'm talking to you!"

The proprietress's voice came to my ears, but it gradually became distant.

Liu Xinyue didn't care about anything around her.

Because her attention was now attracted by the terrifying and majestic existence in the sky.

What she saw through the glass ceiling of the vegetable market was a monster beyond her imagination.

The monster above the horizon was clearly very far away from her, but she felt that she could inexplicably see every detail of it.

Countless eyes were densely distributed on the long monster's body.

In the gaps between the eyes, there are countless hands, feet, tongues, and wings.

Anyone who sees such a monster can't help but gasp.

With just one glance, Liu Xinyue felt as if she had seen the world-destroying devil.

What on earth is this?! When was it there?! The sound just now came from inside this monster?!

Endless doubts kept flashing through Liu Xinyue's mind, and she was trembling with fear.

The painful memories just now came to my mind, and the voice full of endless malice seemed to still be in my ears.

She didn't believe such a monster could be kind.

Her ability to listen to the voices of all things had never deceived her. Such extreme malice simply did not seem like something a single living creature could emit.

Occasionally, she heard the voices of criminals being escorted by police cars on the road, and the malice of those criminals only made her frown slightly at most.

But there has never been a situation where she wanted to die just by hearing the malice.

The Great Demon King of Destruction is probably no more than this.

If it moved while lying motionless in mid-air, Liu Xinyue didn't know how big a disaster it would cause.

And most importantly, she had a vague feeling.

Perhaps, in fact, my ability is not strong enough, and I have not yet fully heard the monster's malice.

She was stunned like this for a long time before she was awakened by the push from the owner of the vegetable stall.

"What are you looking at? Is there money in the sky or something?"

"Hurry up, give me the money!"

The proprietress glanced at the clear sky, then lowered her head and pointed at the tomato juice on the ground, and spoke loudly to Liu Xinyue.

Hearing this, Liu Xinyue was stunned.

The proprietress seemed to really not see the monster in the sky, and the people around her seemed calm and composed.

She couldn't help but wonder if she was the one who was not sober.

What happened to this world? If no one else could see it, then she could see it probably because of her...specialness? Could it be that this world had always been in such a weird and strange atmosphere?

Demons and ghosts have always been showing their presence in corners that people cannot see. They may have been causing incalculable horrific damage in secret.

If this is true, then the truth of this world is somewhat cruel.

As she was thinking, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked towards the edge of the sky where her vision ended.

A huge shadow is approaching at a speed that seems slow but is actually very fast.

Liu Xinyue casually stuffed a bill into the hands of the stall owner, then hurriedly ran out of the vegetable market.

Standing on the roof of an empty and tall building.

Liu Xinyue found that her horizons had broadened accordingly.

Pick up the telescope I just bought at the roadside stall.

The huge, boundless shadow that was pressing down from afar gradually took on a certain shape in her eyes.

It looked like an empty island.

It was a huge monster whose width far exceeded Liu Xinyue's field of vision.

No matter how specific the appearance is, it is too blurry to see clearly.

But what is certain is that she cannot see the edge of this vast land. It is an absurdly huge floating land.

The huge super monster above his head seemed to be a small shrimp in comparison.

Or rather, not even a small shrimp.

As far as Liu Xinyue's eyes could see, she was covered by the huge floating land that was pressing down from afar and covering everything.

Judging from the width alone, she couldn't even see how far the two ends of the huge continent extended.

This monster, which is more than a kilometer long, now looks like an ant.

Looking at such an exaggerated scene, Liu Xinyue couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

ah??!!

How many more things that will shock her will appear today? !

Own……

Was she dreaming? Or had she never woken up? Was there a continent floating above the horizon? Liu Xinyue wanted to deny what she had seen, but she knew clearly that this was not a dream.

The extreme malice she had felt before was not something she could have imagined.

How deep is the water in this world?!

Looking at everything above the sky, before Liu Xinyue had time to express her feelings, she saw a scene that she would never forget.

The monster, which seemed tiny in front of the much larger one, stayed where it was and was then hit hard by the constantly moving floating continent.

There was no collision, no stalemate.

It was as if a wheel had run over a bug, without any unnecessary movement.

The floating continent didn't even pause for a moment.

But as Liu Xinyue unconsciously started to listen to the sounds of all things, all this seemed so shocking.

She can hear it.

Endless malice was crushed by a continent that was so heavy that it seemed like the whole world.

In just a moment, all the malice was gone.

The malice that made Liu Xinyue feel nausea, pain, despair and fear from afar seemed so vulnerable at this moment.

Originally, they could use the secret gate on Sky Island Damocles as a transit point to bring in powerful organization masters as soon as possible. But Sky Island Damocles itself actually chose to crash into it directly.

Flash sales became inevitable.

After all, Sky Island Damocles is a fragment of the world, and its essence is close to the fourth level.

Although the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord is a demigod, he is only a third-level beginner before he fully descends.

There is a gap between them.

Although Liu Xinyue didn't understand the difference between them.

But she could vaguely hear that this seemed like a collision of two "worlds".

The ability to hear the sounds of all things gave her a wonderful viewing experience at this moment.

She heard it clearly.

On one side is the malice that has accumulated after all life in the world was slaughtered, frantically mobilizing a massive amount of so-called spiritual power.

On the other side was a fragment of the real world that had been wandering for countless years, pushed across by pure heavy and powerful pressure.

The result was that the floating continent won instantly.

The endless malice whispered in Liu Xinyue's ear disappeared instantly.

However, Liu Xinyue did not feel much excited about this. Instead, a deep chill slowly rose at this moment.

Even on the floating continent of the victor, she seemed to vaguely hear the long history, brilliant spirit, and immortal will.

Even if the loser is undoubtedly not a good person.

But Liu Xinyue still took a deep breath and felt in awe of the existence behind the floating continent.

After crushing the monster, he looked at the huge shadow that passed calmly over Linjiang City at an unchanged speed.

Looking at the many people in the city who are still unaware of the situation as usual.

Liu Xinyue clearly felt how deep the water in this world is.

In a sense, I am now on the dividing line between real and false reality.

Behind them is the peaceful world of ordinary people. They will never know until they die that a life-and-death battle is going on above their heads all day long. They will never know until they die that at this moment there is a huge sky island passing by their heads that will not affect the sunlight.

Ahead was a brand new world with so many things she didn't know.

One more step forward.

Maybe it's a bottomless abyss, maybe it's a smooth road.

Liu Xinyue was silent for a while.

Looking above her head at the huge floating continent whose edge was still not visible after more than ten minutes, she couldn't help but begin to hesitate.

My unusual behavior in the vegetable market may have attracted attention.

It is highly likely that he can no longer wander along the boundary line as before, but can only move forward being led by the people behind the floating continent.

Then if we move forward into the extraordinary world...

What will be the result?

Liu Xinyue murmured, doubts rising in her heart.

It's not her fault that she thinks too much.

It is true that the extraordinary power that exists is much more beyond the extraordinary power she could have imagined.

How can you use a floating continent to hit someone?! Anyone would be scared and hesitant.

It is fortunate that this world has not been destroyed yet.
