Chapter 235: The Action is Not Very Auspicious
Seeing this, Chu Xihen hurriedly used his remaining mental strength to prop up a transparent frame, but this time the despair was too fierce. A large piece of black mist just hit it, and the transparent frame shattered with a "crack".
Seeing this, he immediately retracted his superpowers, and then other superpower users used their superpowers to resist despair without any care.
If Chu Xihen had reacted a little slower, all the psychics below level nine would have fallen down.
Lingyao quickly released the maximum number of shields to the people around him. Gu Xingxie threw out the horoscope in his hand, and the runes on it projected a protective circle, covering those who were not given shields by Lingyao but were very close to them.
Each team present was assigned by Xie Ling after careful consideration. Basically, they were equipped with healing psychics and psychics with shields. At this time, they all tried their best to protect their teammates.
However, even the protective ability of Chu Xihen, a full-level clearance player, was vulnerable, let alone theirs.
All auxiliary skills become ineffective in the face of despair. Despair cannot be dispelled by superpowers and attaches to the human body like a materialized virus.
"Ah!!!" The first person who was touched by despair let out a creepy scream.
Because the despair was different from anything they had seen before. It was like concentrated sulfuric acid splashing on the skin, corroding the flesh and blood in an instant, revealing the bones.
Ling Yao saw what happened to the psychic, and then screams rang out all around him. Without much hesitation, he turned into a big white tiger and used his huge body to block the many psychics.
The white tiger is huge, so it will naturally corrode much more slowly than a thin person.
But Ling Yao will endure pain ten or a hundred times more than a normal person!
Some people saw Ling Yao's actions and used their tall bodies to protect their smaller teammates.
But this was just a futile struggle. The black despair was like a sharp knife, scraping off people's flesh and blood, and they had no power to resist.
Xiao Chou's smile mixed in with the despair, echoing in Chu Xihen's ears.
Chu Xihen's superpowers couldn't hurt Xiao Chou who had transformed into a black mist form. He was completely helpless now, and those superpower users standing on the periphery who wanted to protect their teammates had lost most of their bodies, leaving only half of their skeletons.
Including Ling Yao, most of his white tiger form was eaten by Despair, but he didn't die yet, and he kept screaming.
Seeing this purgatory-like scene, Chu Xihen had no expression on his face, because he was full of hope, so no matter how much his heart ached, he could not feel the slightest despair.
He pulled the little Epiphyllum out of his hair and stared at it coldly, "If you keep hiding it, I will die with them!"
The little Epiphyllum trembled for a while in Chu Xihen's palm, then stretched out its petals and pointed to the night sky, where the little ugly palm was still hanging.
"You want me to take you upstairs?" Chu Xihen asked.
He stood in despair with a pale face. The despair transformed from Xiao Chou's body floated around him like a ghost, but could not hurt him at all.
The little Epiphyllum was not corroded by despair. After hearing Chu Xihen's question, it quickly circled its petals into the shape of an "OK".
Chu Xihen looked back again, and saw that Ling Yao's white tiger body had been completely devoured by despair, and now only a huge skeleton was left. Chu Xichi, Gu Xingxie, Gao Lin, Su Yan and others who were protected by him were now being devoured by despair.
Xiao Yan is now the captain. He directly pulled Xie Ling, who was standing far away, to his side and held him tightly in his arms.
He knew in his heart that such protection was useless. All of them would turn into bones. It was only a matter of time. But even if it was just a second later, he would protect Xie Ling first.
There were many people with special abilities doing the same thing as him, but since the white tiger was gone, it only took a moment for their weak human bodies to be swallowed by despair.
Chu Xihen used the last bit of his mental strength to condense a bow and arrow, let Xiao Epiphyllum lie on the arrowhead, and shot it to the crack that was still stuck in Xiao Chou's palm.
When Xiao Chou saw this, he immediately controlled his despair and shrank back into his own appearance, connecting with its palm.
Then he raised his other hand to grab the small Epiphyllum that was drilling into the gap.
Fortunately, the little Epiphyllum was able to turn itself into liquid and quickly drilled into the crack. The little Chou was so angry that he jumped twice on the ground.
Obviously, Chu Xihen's action angered it again. It turned into black mist and attacked, swallowing up all the remaining psychics.
Chu Xihen stared at the gap intently, not wanting to look back at all.
But he knew without even looking that there was no one alive behind him.
The world finally became what Xiao Chou had imagined, with only despair filling the sky...
——
In the time gap, after Lou Su froze Xiao Chou's palm in the time gap, he took the black stone given to him by Chu Xihen and wanted to put Xiao Chou back.
But he found that the huge stone egg that had been sucked away all its despair and turned pure white was completely incompatible with the stone in his hand. If he personally pressed the black stone on the gap in the white stone, it would also roll down.
The huge suction force that was about to fill him up completely disappeared!
"Why is this happening? Is it because the stone has turned white, or is it because this black stone needs to be controlled by Xihen to be effective?" Lou Su couldn't think of the reason for a moment. He turned his head to look at Bai Jinli who was frozen by him next door. The other party was now a statue without breathing and could not answer his question.
Just when he was confused, he saw a white night-blooming cereus suddenly emerge from the white stone egg.
"Little Epiphyllum?!" He recognized it; it was the one that followed Chu Xihen.
The little Epiphyllum climbed up to Lou Su's front with a "whoosh whoosh".
Lou Su asked anxiously, "What's the situation down there? Can Xihen and the others deal with Xiao Chou? I can't seem to control this stone and can't put Xiao Chou in it. Are you here to help me solve this problem?"
The small Epiphyllum stretched out two petals and put its hands together like a human hand. It bowed three times to Lou Su and then flew up, flashing white light and directly hitting Lou Su's forehead.
Lou Su only felt a sharp pain piercing his brain, and he instantly lost consciousness and fell backwards.
The moment he fell, the skill [Time Freeze] was released and Bai Jinli was able to move. He ran over in two steps and saw a white Epiphyllum pattern appear between the foreheads of the fallen buildings.
"Lou Su, you..." Bai Jinli had just opened his mouth when he saw the Epiphyllum emerge from Lou Su's forehead again. After seeing Bai Jinli, it folded its petals and bowed to him.
Bai Jinli couldn't communicate with it, but he subconsciously felt that the action of the little Epiphyllum was not auspicious.
Just as he finished this thought, the crack that was still stuffed with Xiao Chou's palm suddenly expanded, and a huge black despair rushed up instantly like an explosion. Bai Jinli and the unconscious Lou Su, who were right next to the crack, were corroded by despair in the blink of an eye, leaving only two white bones.
The little Epiphyllum took the opportunity to slip out of the gap in time, emitting a dazzling white light and flying towards Chu Xihen in the hopeless darkness.
It hit Chu Xihen's forehead without stopping, and the next moment a white Epiphyllum pattern appeared on his forehead.
Only then did Chu Xihen finally regain the memories he had lost for many years.
"Going back in time? So that's how it works..." He looked down at his hands and muttered to himself.
