Chapter 58 Chapter 55 I won the second bet

"elder brother?!"

After receiving Ni Lan's call, Xu Kuiaya immediately rushed from the temple to the Oceanus Tavern. The sight of her brother covered in wounds made her burst into tears.

She wanted to throw herself into her brother's arms as usual, but she was afraid of touching the wounds on his body.

"Brother! What did they do to you!"

The girl screamed and burst into tears.

Podali is not willing to see Xu Kuieya now, but Ni Lan still needs to go back to help his friends. In this situation, there is no one else he can trust except Xu Kuieya.

"Sorry... sis, didn't you see the message I left you?"

Before being caught, Podali returned to the church to pick up an item for Father Asclepius, until he could not see his sister and chose to leave a message.

Although he was happy to see his sister, Podali still wished she had left Shouyu Island by now.

"No! What on earth did you and the priest experience? Why didn't you tell me..."

For a whole month, a month in which she lost her appetite, a month in which she was terrified, a month in which she was filled with despair and fear. The girl was alone in the silent church of light, with no other hope except her own prayers.

She can help, too!

But it was useless to say all this now. She wiped her tears and said, "I'll go find a doctor right away! Brother, you will be fine!"

Xu Kuiaya felt that her emotions were on the verge of collapse, but her brother had obviously suffered more serious injuries, and she couldn't, at least not in front of her brother.

Ni Lan grabbed Xu Kuieya.

"Your brother still needs you. I've already called the doctor."

He couldn't really understand other people's minds, and he had already asked Uncle Cher to find a doctor. Ni Lan was just worried that Xu Kuieya would accidentally bump into the Lightless One.

Podali sighed slightly. His injuries looked serious, but not fatal.

He endured the pain from the wound and hugged Xu Kuiya.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept this from you and made you worry."

The tears that had been held back with great difficulty burst out again, and Xu Kuieya cried and shook her head.

"How can it be my brother's fault? It's not, it's not!!!"

They talked a lot, but Ni Lan didn't listen much. He just stared at the two of them blankly.

Podali and Xu Kuia are blood siblings, and according to their mother, they are the closest people to each other in the world.

Just like him and his brother.

It’s just that his younger brother couldn’t worry about and love his brother like Xu Kuiya did.

——I can't even talk to him.

The emotions that were bound by blood became rigid due to the loss of soul.

Ni Lan lowered her eyes slightly, and the light in her eyes seemed to disappear as her thoughts spread.

——

“Brother…brother…brother…?”

"younger brother."

"Brother...Brother..."

The young boy stood in front of another bloated child who was curled up on the bed.

The boy's flesh seemed to have been swollen and appeared pale. He was squirming on the bed, as if trying to get closer.

He was only two years younger than himself, yet he still couldn't stand.

For no reason, the boy remembered the caterpillar he had caught when he sneaked into the garden.

The waiter told him that was what a butterfly looked like before it emerged from its chrysalis. He happily showed it to his mother, but his mother screamed and knocked it away.

The sharp nails accidentally scratched his cheek.

——

Now that I think about it, maybe the younger brother didn't know what his older brother meant at all, and he was just annoyed by his own desire to call him "brother", so he repeated his words.

"Ni Lan."

Podali's call pulled Ni Lan out of the abyss of memory.

"What's wrong?"

"Go help your friends, they need your help."

Ni Lan nodded and turned to leave.

"Ni Lan!"

But before leaving, Xu Kuieya called him, her voice already a little hoarse.

The girl's eyes were filled with tears but gratitude.

"Thank you for saving my brother."

Ni Lan was silent for a while, not knowing how to explain.

"Thanks to Amo and Ez, I just..."

But in Xu Kuieya's eyes, there is no difference between Pomo, Puis, and Ni Lan.

"Thank you!"

Finally, he stopped explaining.

"You're welcome."

"And Father Asclepius, I'm counting on you too!"

Xu Kuia has seen his brother, so Father Asclepius must be fine too, definitely.

Ni Lan didn't know what to say anymore. Father Ascle had already turned into the image of a golden cicada. There was no way he could touch the One-Moon Honggou.

One month, thirty days.

What was he doing at that time?

But it's not that there is no way out, but he can't say it directly.

"You can save Father Asclepius."

Ni Lan left after leaving these unclear words.

Xu Kuieya was stunned, and even Podali behind her didn't understand what Ni Lan was saying.

——

Even though he knew that he was not respected by the people of Shouyu Island, he still chose to sacrifice himself at this most critical moment.

Finally, there is the tiny possibility that someone might notice something is wrong at Shouyu Island and come to investigate.

Pomer opened his mouth, unwilling to accept this fact.

'Finally...will you fall into another world?'

'Yes, this is the price of forcibly stopping the sacrifice, it will always consume life before it stops.'

The 'it' here is not an alien world, but Father Asclepius's supernatural power.

Superpower【Equivalent Exchange】

Ascle can achieve what he wants to do through "negotiating" with his own abilities and in the form of equivalent exchange.

Preventing the outbreak of the alien world is a nearly impossible task, and what needs to be exchanged must be a miracle.

Life is also a miracle.

Falling into another world is better than the entire Shouyu Island and even Shennan being swallowed up. This seems to be a deal that cannot be over-calculated.

So Asclepius did not hesitate.

Pomo promised Xuquiea that he would help her find Podali and Father Asclepius.

But he was unable to fulfill his promise to bring Father Asclepius back safely.

They arrived too late.

It wasn't Pomo's fault, but the boy was unwilling to accept such an outcome.

He lifted Hector's hand and gradually applied force, and the man cried out in pain.

"What the hell are you doing? Let me go!"

Hector would not accept his status as a prisoner and began to struggle again.

Pomer lifted him up and grabbed his collar with both hands.

"Where is the sacrificial formation?! How can we stop it!!!"

Puis did not stop Pomo. He looked at Hector coldly, without any sympathy for the bastard who coveted the peace of Shennan.

"Hahaha, are you getting anxious now? It's too late!" Hector started laughing, even though this posture made him extremely uncomfortable. "Once the last alien world is opened, nothing can stop it! Go to hell with your God of Light!"

He finally felt relieved, no longer afraid that these two little devils would kill him if they got excited!

Maybe they can find a way to make sacrifices, but they definitely can't stop it! They still need themselves!

Along with this twisted laughter, [Foresight] hit Pomo's mind like a heavy punch.

The entire Shouyu Island and all the people in the surrounding area were instantly engulfed by the surging flames, melting into sticky flesh and blood, and began to corrode the land.

People's cries and screams rushed into Pomo's eyes like an explosion. The vast ocean was dyed into a pool of blood-red paint, gurgling out more zombies.

I want to live! I want to live!

Go kill! Go chew! Go kill! Go devour!

Resurrection, resurrection, resurrection!

Devour everyone!

Resurrection, resurrection, resurrection!

Devour the world!

Resurrection!!!

Resurrection!

"ah!"

[Prediction] The resentment of countless people was as mad as endless death. Pomo threw Hector out, knelt on the ground, covered his head with both hands, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

What is that? It's an alien world! It looks like an alien world has exploded!

The [Sign of Blessing] told him the future of this place, a future that would 'definitely' happen.

Puis immediately went to support Pomo, but he also did not forget to control Hector to prevent him from running away.

"What's wrong with you!"

Pomo was gasping for breath, unable to believe what he had just seen.

But it doesn't matter, his [forecast] is not immutable.

[Prediction] It has already changed once! Lanster did not turn into ashes in the alien explosion! Shouyu Island will definitely not be the same!

'I know how to break this formation, but we don't have much time.'

Ascle also linked the thoughts of the two people, and he also saw the pictures in Pomo's mind.

Maybe it's this kid's special ability, he reacts quickly. If they don't want Shouyu Island to become what they predicted, they need to act now!

Even he would be powerless to reverse the situation once the conditions for the next alien world outbreak were met.

Pomo finally regained his consciousness and got up from the ground.

"Is, I'm fine."

His voice was eerily quiet, more filled with anger than fear or terror.

We must stop the alien world from breaking out!

"Um."

Puis raised his hand upwards, and at the same time, Hector also flew into the air.

"You're not going to say anything?"

"Haha, you can't do anything! You..."

Before Hector could finish his words, he felt something strangling his throat.

He could only make painful 'ho ho' sounds, just like the countless people who had been tortured to death by him.

But Hector never thought that he would become like this one day.

"Then you never have to say it again."

No matter what, Puis will not let Hector go.

A cadre of the Lightless Ones, an enemy who attempted to subvert the entire Shennan. No matter which identity he is, it is enough to kill him a thousand times.

Hector started to struggle. This kid really wanted to kill him!!!

Survival is the most important thing! Dignity is just an excuse for the weak!

He wanted to shake his head to indicate that he was willing to show them how to make contact with the formation, but Puestard didn't see it.

The man fell to the ground limply.
