Chapter 73 Gunshot Comic Update
The comic follows Tang Yanran's perspective and goes to the pharmacy.
She was collecting medicines when she looked back and saw a stranger approaching her child. Her motherly instinct made her panic and she ran back to her child:
[It seems there is a plot]
[Very good, it looks like something is about to happen]
【Looking at her behavior, I feel that rather than being worried about strangers hurting the child, it’s more like being worried about strangers discovering something. I hope it’s just my illusion.】
【Um? 】
[I think this child should be dead. After all, he didn't even cry despite such a loud noise.]
…
"Come to think of it..." Li Ming said in a low voice, "It seems that the child has a big problem."
There was no sound for too long, and he was hardly ever woken up by the noise of people around him. This did not fit Li Ming's perception of children. There was definitely something wrong with this child.
The aunt who appeared on the stage obviously thought so too. Li Ming watched the two people in the comics arguing about this matter:
[Dead baby?]
[He's not crying or making any noise in this situation, so he can't be alive. 】
[Mad Woman and Her Dead Child]
[Maybe there will be a reversal? I feel like this aunt is even weirder]
…
Readers made one guess after another, but Li Ming just kept turning the pages.
The turning point of the story begins with the first cry of the baby in the cradle. The two women who were wary of each other finally reached a delicate balance at this moment:
[Mother cares about her children the most]
[Both are mothers]
[It felt like the atmosphere had instantly returned to normal. I almost thought they were going to pull each other’s hair out.]
【Auntie smiled with relief. 】
[“Everyone has secrets” is really true, because those who have survived to this day must have encountered many things (sad)]
…
"Our world..."
Li Ming muttered to himself with a complicated look in his eyes. After all, before he joined the comics forum, he never thought that his world might be a comics world.
And in a corner that he didn't know, other people's stories were happening.
[Tang Yanran said she was from Ningcheng]
[Isn't Jiang Huai planning to go to Ningcheng? Could it be that Jiang Huai is going to Ningcheng because of the Queen? ]
[Somewhat weird]
[Did the Queen's derivative appear at this time? 】
[Something is wrong. Although vampires hunt humans, they generally do not intentionally kill them. And they do not release them, they only keep them in captivity.]
[So, was there some other difficult disaster in Ningcheng before the Queen arrived? ]
…
The comic's comments were strangely increased compared to the previous ones. Li Ming frowned when he saw this. His fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and then he suddenly realized something:
Jiang Huai went to Ningcheng specifically, probably not to see Xiao Xiao.
From previous forum information, Li Ming has learned that Ningcheng will become the base camp for the southern survivors in the future. He always thought that Jiang Huai was going to see his sister, and the readers actually thought so too.
But readers do not know the exact time when Xiao Xiao arrived in Ningcheng.
As they claimed in the forum, their understanding of the South is too little hindered by a 'wall of silence'.
What about JAC?
As the future savior of mankind and the leader of the survivors in northern China, would he know more about the situation in the south than the readers? Li Ming thinks: Jiang Huai may not know clearly now, but in the future...
When Jiang Huai finishes his trip to 'Blood Moon', he will definitely look for the root cause of the Queen's fall.
He lost far more in the Blood Moon Realm than he had imagined.
With Jiang Huai's character and Li Ming's understanding of him, Jiang Huai would never avoid this matter. He would uncover the bloody scars thousands of times just to find the most truthful answer.
"No, that's not right—"
Li Ming thought quietly, "The Queen must have revealed something to him."
She could have said nothing, but she chose to reveal her identity. If it wasn't out of revenge, she must have hoped that Jiang Huai could do something.
Li Ming inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart.
[It seems that the boss guessed wrong again]
[Oh my god]
[If the Queen is not in Ningcheng, where would she be? ]
[The South lost its queen, just like losing its left and right arms. I felt from the beginning that it was unlikely to meet the queen now. If the queen left the South, the South would only fall faster.]
[Even if the queen fell in the middle and late stages, don't forget that she was once the leader of the Southern Base and the "hope of mankind" who led the South to overcome difficulties many times]
[Don't deny her achievements just because she is a "mobile disaster"]
【How do you say it? 】
[No one can deny the queen's prestige, but the title of "Blood Queen" is indeed much more famous than her. ]
…
"Uh, there was a quarrel."
Li Ming subconsciously gave an awkward yet polite smile, but he also learned that the queen, Xiao Xiao's disaster name was "Blood Queen".
"So the Queen's S-rank sequence is called 'Blood Queen'?"
Li Ming pondered over this, but he felt something was unexpectedly strange. This realization made him a little annoyed that he had not talked to Cui Yinyin more at the beginning.
The little witch must know more than him.
[Auntie still misses reality]
[“But compared to my children, I think I’ve lived long enough.”]
[Human nature is like this. Even if you know what is the right choice, you still want to escape. Her behavior of nagging about her life is to convince herself to choose the right path.]
[Can it be interpreted this way? ]
[I think her behavior is a bit pretentious.]
[After all, not everyone can accept death calmly. Some people are still hesitant and need to push themselves or others to push them.]
[I feel like if the human body of the "jumping grid" wasn't a baby, she probably wouldn't do this.]
[It was because she knew it was a child that she couldn't bring herself to do it. As she said, she already had a child. A mother will be gentler to her child, even if it's someone else's.]
…
"Maybe it's because I'm not a mother." Li Ming scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't quite understand why the old lady suddenly dissected her life, but he could understand what the reader said.
Sometimes people just need someone to give them a push.
But if he really encountered such a situation, Li Ming felt that he might as well say nothing. The words left by the dead in the world are just a heavy burden for the living.
The two women in the comic quickly reached a consensus.
Tang Yanran made a prompt decision to leave Lingcheng immediately. If she continued to stay in Lingcheng, both her An'an and the old lady who kindly reminded her would be in danger.
Now she can only take risks.
But after Tang Yanran left, the dignified old lady finally revealed what she had been hiding in her heart. She still wanted to live, and she still hoped that the ending would be a happy one.
The old woman gently took out the glass bead hairband from her pocket.
At the same time, a narration appeared on the cover of the comic: "If everything goes well, everything will be happy; if it doesn't go well, mother, child and rebel will all die on the same day."
[Somewhat difficult to comment]
[She has reminded everyone she can, and Tang Yanran can guess the rest herself. What she didn't say is enough for her to fool other people in Lingcheng.]
[In other words, is he still a good person? ]
【Yes】
[Whether or not to take out the string of glass beads has no impact on Tang Yanran's escape plan. Given the people of Lingcheng's vigilance against disasters, if 'Jumping Grid' rashly approaches Tang Yanran, something bad will happen.]
[And since she didn’t tell him that she was being targeted by the head-destroying disaster, she can still be considered a good person.]
【that is--
So there is such a connection between the disaster and the human body of the disaster? 】
[Can they touch each other's things through the mirror? They are really raising Gu. No wonder they are isolated and can only gather together. But when they gather together, they are just scattered. ]
…
An unexpected piece of information.
Li Ming was inexplicably afraid. He didn't know what his current situation was, but he knew that if it developed into this situation later, things would become very difficult.
In the next episode, the perspective returns to Li Ming.
The little girl saw her mother. She whispered "Mom" in a low voice, and then before Li Ming could react, she suddenly teleported to the street outside the building.
When Li Ming looked at her again, her new disaster name had already been revealed by 'Eye of Truth'.
[Sequence instantly upgraded]
[A-05 Space Operation, old thief, give Li Ming a chance to live! ! ! ]
【Fuck】
[No wonder people release animals. If I were you, I would release animals too.]
[She is already in the A-level sequence now, and may be able to reach the S-level sequence in the future. She is still so young, and the probability of her sequence upgrading is several times higher than that of others. Moreover, she is severely affected by the sequence, which is really a big fat fish with a promising future.]
[I used to think releasing animals was unnecessary, but now I know I was wrong]
[But aren’t spatial operations free of side effects? ]
[Other sequences may have an impact.]
[Big fish must be processed before being released. ]
…
Li Ming suddenly felt a chill.
Even though he had not witnessed the disaster in Ningcheng with his own eyes, his impression of the disaster in that city was at its lowest point. And Jiang Huai was now on his way to Ningcheng...
It really can't be said that it's not a coincidence.
[Ahhh, little girl, don’t go]
[So the perfect tragedy happened]
[Li Ming, stop her quickly]
[I can't stop him. If Li Ming goes up, he will be chopped down.]
[Li Ming is chasing the red skirt, the red skirt is chasing the crowd, and the crowd is chasing the mother in the red skirt. It is a bit funny and a bit sad.]
“She felt like she was becoming human.
She felt alive again.”]
【Sadness】
[“This time, she can protect her mother.”]
[I used to know that I was setting a flag, now I just hope it was an illusion (heartbroken)]
[In just a few sentences, you told the life story of the little girl and her mother... Your description is amazing, but you really have no heart...]
…
In the end, a gunshot ended all the fantasies.
All possibilities were shrunk into a small pool of blood before his eyes.
"Mom..." The girl in the red skirt whispered this word softly. She hadn't run to her mother yet, and hadn't heard her mother calling her nickname softly, but everything was over.
Her story, and her mother's story.
Li Ming watched this scene in silence, then cruelly turned the page.
