Chapter 53 The Little Witch's Encrypted Language
Let him think about what to do...
Li Ming squatted quietly in the corner of the shop, thinking about today's intelligence: Judging from the current situation, the best solution is to leave at dusk tomorrow.
Jiang Huai had met Cui Wanwan before. The fact that they appeared in two different places showed that Cui Wanwan had confirmed Jiang Huai's identity and told him how to leave.
Xiao Yiyan was not quite sure about Cui Wanwan's identity, but according to what he said, he should try to leave and then meet up with Cui Wanwan outside to find out the situation.
But Cui Wanwan never talked about Cui Yinyin from beginning to end.
Li Ming guessed that the sisters must have had a conversation about leaving the area. In this case, they would have to gamble on whether everyone believed that they could leave smoothly.
It's quite torturous.
Li Ming patted his chest with lingering fear: How come the situation outside had completely changed while he was communicating with the monster?
He was like a wild civet that was suddenly thrown into a field full of melons, and he didn't know what to do.
But since it has become like this, I might as well pave the way for my departure. Li Ming thought to himself that he was not conscience-stricken: Now all the faceless people were attracted by the three people running around with flashlights.
He is in a relatively safe state.
So Li Ming pushed the door open quietly and observed the situation outside. The current situation was favorable for him, because he could identify monsters, and he also knew that his companions knew how to leave.
"So the goal now is to find a car..."
Li Ming picked up the water pipe and backpack with one hand and strode outside. In the distance, tall buildings roared, accompanied by a few flashes of lightning, and the dust raised instantly covered the only remaining lights on the roadside.
"It's not like one's own people are fighting against one's own people, right?"
Li Ming, who was gradually moving away from the battle zone, was shocked when he saw this. But he changed his mind and said, "It's okay to fight against our own people. After all, those who will die are not our own people."
Li Ming nodded approvingly.
He continued to move towards the 4S store shown on the map. It was about to rain heavily, and he did not have the mobility and force of the other people.
Huge raindrops quickly soaked the ground, and dense rain poured down from the sky. The open streets were full of broken branches and messy leaves.
There were lightning and thunder outside the store, and the wind was howling.
Li Ming, with his hair messed up by the wind, stayed in the store and calmly thought about the route. He encountered many monsters along the way, but fortunately:
He can identify monsters and will not be fooled.
While others were still hesitating whether to rescue or not, and doubting whether the other party was human, Li Ming took the lead in recognizing the current situation and moving towards the final goal with a calm mind.
"Thanks to the three friends who attracted the hate."
Li Ming closed his eyes and made a sloppy prayer gesture for them with one hand. Although he usually disliked the 'Eye of Truth', the current situation...
It's really thanks to the 'Eye of Truth'.
I can only say that there are pros and cons.
Li Ming glanced at the quartz clock on the wall. The current time was two o'clock in the afternoon, a little before dusk. Because the sky was overcast, he could only rely on the clock to determine the time.
This field...
Li Ming's heart suddenly sank when he saw this: if he accidentally entered the "Rainy Night Horror" area in the future due to a power outage, he couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to leave.
It must be removed.
Li Ming warned himself in his heart, but in reality he remained silent. If clearing enough shadows could open the way out, then does that mean that breaking the domain would also require the same method?
He looked at the heavy rain outside the window, feeling inexplicably irritated.
Amid the fierce rain, several sudden and light sounds attracted Li Ming's attention.
Sitting in the 4S store, Li Ming subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. He closed his eyes and felt the changes in the surrounding environment, but he could not sense the presence of the monster in the direction of the sound.
Li Ming was suddenly confused.
He first folded the unfolded map and put it back into his backpack before heading towards the location of the sound. No matter what the other party was, he had to make sure it would not affect his departure route.
Li Ming couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his palm as he held the steel water pipe.
But something unexpected happened -
Standing outside the closed glass door, she waited quietly for the door to open. The first second she realized Li Ming was approaching, she raised her grayish-white, inhuman eyes like glass beads.
She asked sweetly:
"Brother, can you take me out?"
[The Revelation: Cui Yinyin]
[Identity: S-level Revelation]
[Talent: S-06 Omniscience]
【Note: 'Omniscience' was once the authority of God, and it is still the authority of God now, but it has been delegated to the human world by God. Throughout history, few living beings have been able to obtain it, and even fewer living beings can bring out its value. 】
【Human weakness is not enough to explain His value. 】
[Only mythical creatures can understand, see through, and possess complete 'omniscience'. But for current civilization, the threads dropped unintentionally by the gods are enough to become the rope of 'salvation'. ]
[PS: The change in appearance is the common fate of S-level Apocalypses. They gain power from it, but also become inhuman.]
*
Li Ming felt that he was being used.
Looking back at the current plot, among the survivors who are preparing to leave, whose car is the easiest to ride? It must be him who can identify monsters.
Li Ming felt that his idea was reasonable.
But in reality, he gently reminded the passenger in the front passenger seat: "Remember to fasten your seat belt."
“Okay.” Cui Yinyin did as she was told.
She looked like a little girl of only twelve or thirteen years old, with legs that couldn't even reach the bottom of the seat, but such a skinny girl was...
The prophet of the present civilization.
Li Ming inexplicably understood Cui Wanwan's desire to protect her sister.
As a sister, Cui Yinyin will not be able to share the pressures she will face in the future. Her sister will have to stand at a height that she cannot reach, and face the expectations and doubts that she is powerless to deal with.
"You...what did you tell your sister?"
Li Ming opened and closed his mouth for a long time before finally finding his voice.
Cui Yinyin had no doubts. She just answered in her usual calm tone: "I told her I could leave in a bumper car."
Li Ming: “…”
Li Ming felt that Cui Yinyin was mocking his driving skills.
"There is no rule that requires us to drive away." Cui Yinyin shook her head and explained, "It's just that vehicles can help us get away from the rainstorm area as quickly as possible. The scale of this area is too large, and people who don't leave in time will easily be trapped again."
"I see." Li Ming nodded absentmindedly.
“If you are worried about being caught up by the Faceless Men, don’t worry.” Cui Yinyin suddenly said, “Their strength has been greatly weakened, and they will not appear tonight.”
"..." Li Ming suddenly got stuck on the words.
He had many questions he wanted to ask the little fortune teller, but now his mind was suddenly blank. The car's windshield wipers were swinging mechanically and at a high frequency, and the sound of rain was so dense that even the two people in the car could hear it clearly.
The humid air, the dead silence, and the dripping umbrella...
"Do you know why I know you?"
Li Ming finally asked a confusing question.
"My sister and I look a lot like each other." Cui Yinyin's eyes were dull. "As for identity, I think it's normal for a prophet to know the talents of the people around him. But if you mean others..."
"I'm sorry, but my ability hasn't reached that level yet."
Li Ming felt inexplicably regretful after hearing this.
Because the little witch didn't see the comic forum on Li Ming, nor did she see that Li Ming had ever had contact with the Lost. But instead of feeling secretly lost, Li Ming was now more entangled in how to continue speaking.
"Can I ask you some more questions?" Li Ming gave an awkward yet polite smile.
"Sure, brother."
After hearing this, Cui Yinyin subconsciously curved her eyes and smiled slightly. But she soon returned to her usual expressionless face and asked softly, "Did you meet other prophets?"
Li Ming: “…”
Li Ming looked surprised: "How did you know?"
“Only a prophet can determine the value of a prophet.” Cui Yinyin replied gently, “but only those who have met a prophet can affirm the value of a prophet.”
"The very act of asking me is an affirmation of the value of the Prophet."
Li Ming was suddenly confused: "Listen, I don't understand..."
But when Li Ming pondered for a moment, he felt that he could understand. Cui Yinyin was saying that because he had met a prophet before, he now believed in the value of a prophet.
Li Ming couldn't help but frown: "Do you all speak so elegantly?"
Cui Yinyin answered frankly: "I have made it very clear."
Okay, let's just leave it at that.
Li Ming was deeply annoyed by his clumsiness, but for some reason, his tense spirit inexplicably relaxed.
"I once met a prophet who thought prophets were useless." Li Ming said casually while driving, "He emphasized to me that fate would never change because of prophecies."
Although that's not the exact words, it's almost the same.
"Um?"
Cui Yinyin turned around in surprise after hearing this: "Then he should be a very powerful prophet."
Li Ming was silent: "..."
Li Ming said with difficulty: "I don't think this is my fault. Do you have any encrypted language?"
He decided to forcibly withdraw the idea of 'feeling clumsy'.
"Because we interpret fate, understand fate, and finally resist fate."
Cui Yinyin's tone was inexplicably tinged with sadness: "Most prophets will stop at the first step. They will present the fate they see to people in the form of prophecies. They don't think that prophecies can change fate, they just think that if the prophecy is wrong, then it must be their own interpretation that is wrong."
"but……"
"There are also very few prophets who, after seeing through fate, choose to rebel against it. At this time, the predictions they make are no longer just the product of interpreting fate, but also the intention to change fate."
“The so-called using one’s life to predict something is just that simple.”
Cui Yinyin's words were very soft:
"What you just said was the frustrated speech of a prophet after he failed in his fight against fate."
"..." Li Ming fell silent after hearing this.
The little witch's explanation alone was enough for him to see the blood and tears the monster had paid for this. He was a warrior who fought for his civilization until the last moment, and he was also a prophet who resisted fate.
A prophet is someone who does something even though he knows it is impossible.
"Are you doing it too?" Li Ming suddenly asked.
“I’m working on it.”
Cui Yinyin's eyes were calm and steady: "That's why I am 'all-knowing'."
