He watched as a bullet hurtled toward him; it was clearly no ordinary attack, capable of drawing a red line through the sky.
"boom--!"
After countless collisions, the bullet was finally able to make the sound it deserved for the first time—the destructive sound of cutting and tearing human flesh apart.
In the reflection of the girl's suddenly trembling beautiful eyes, the sharp, curved bullet was blocked in mid-air by the crimson longsword, but another bullet pierced through Jiang Cheng without any obstruction—a blinding light of blood surged from the boy's thin body, almost heartbreaking, and the shattering of blood and flesh even splattered some of the rotten flesh that had been witnessed before.
The price paid for the superhuman physical strength of the stigmata holder is red blood gushing out like water from a pipe.
Without the sacred marks etched into the genes, or at least not fully modified, the body of an ordinary person cannot stop the bleeding immediately.
……
PSh吾邻镹珊溜韭: Jiangcheng is starting to have these self-defense capabilities, although they are still not enough in this kind of high-pressure situation.
Please vote and recommend me. I will try my best.
Chapter 29 The Third Honkai Impact - Arrival
Raiden Mei still remembers, and clearly remembers, how she used to peek at the boy.
She turned her head to the side, her head turned away.
While he was sitting quietly.
In those pupils, as dark as gloomy clouds and as fiery as flashing lightning, finally, after nearly a month, was a boy who belonged to him alone, to him alone, as his lover.
That familiar profile, that pale skin made pale by the energy and the body's weakness.
Her already thin body seemed even more frail, and her short, messy hair looked like a bird's nest.
Bathed in the twilight outside the window, the boy seemed to block out all the light with his profile, everything had to conform to his side profile, even the fading sunlight had to follow his direction and shine down on his face.
It was clearly long, black hair, an ordinary color, but the night was a dark and gloomy place, the deepest and darkest even in the forest. The innermost part of the forest was dim, and only in the deepest part of the woods could you find this lightless, ink-black hair, yet each strand seemed to be shining, dyed and exuding the color of cherry blossoms. Even her figure became softer, and her whole person seemed to radiate light, conforming to the gentleness of the world.
So ordinary, so plain... there's nothing to praise about it, you'd be easily lost in a crowd, but at this moment it shines so brightly in the light.
The girl watched and watched.
Until another bumpy ride caused her hair to flutter.
It seemed as if the birds were startled, flapping their wings and disturbing the melancholy, lush forest, causing a few cherry blossoms, tinged with darkness, to fall.
Her tousled hair flew about in a chaotic manner, like treetops being whipped up by a gale, with branches and leaves swaying erratically.
Finally, unable to resist any longer and unable to kill time with her gaze, she broke the silence.
Then comes the questioning, in order to find out some of the truth.
Jewel, Herrscher, Cocolia...
The boy had asked me from the beginning if I had any questions, but now that time was tight, I only asked after I was getting a little tired of watching.
The girl felt shameless and despicable. Her father was important, and the people around her were the most important things, yet she couldn't help but want to look at Jiang Cheng more. She wanted to be like a piece of trash who had fallen into a pit and lay there quietly in the mud, savoring and greedily embracing this moment of peace.
I know that as long as I endure it and get through this hurdle, I will have more free time, but perhaps it is because I have endured it for too long and been suppressed for too long.
The function of delayed gratification has been damaged, and the existence of Raiden Mei can no longer be used—just bear with it a little longer and you'll have a good reason to keep going.
I won't need too much.
I just hope this warmth can last a little longer.
She won't be greedy, she really won't... really.
Yes.
Just having this moment go on is enough to make me happy. Even ten more minutes, or even just one more minute, would be fine. I've been alone for so long; all I need is some warmth...
But why is it such a simple wish?
Why is such a small wish not allowed?
……
At this moment, right now.
Her beautiful, deep purple eyes trembled as she gazed at the world, at everything within her sight.
The crimson blade blocking the way, the bullets that had lost power and were still smoking, the car door riddled with holes, and the faint, shimmering silver light that could be seen in the distance, and the boy who had been shot, his lower body pierced by an arc-shaped bullet, blood spurting from his body.
For the first time, the clear and distinct lines and colors were so blurred.
The vibrant blood seemed unreal at that moment.
Raiden Mei instinctively reached out, the girl who had lost her only light wanted to touch—wanted to touch the trembling boy, the pale-faced boy whose eyes held only determination as he looked at her, but she only touched a sticky substance. She looked down and saw the bright red blood on her fingertips.
It's blood.
It is the blood of Jiangcheng.
Jiangcheng was shot.
During the previous spying, Jiang Cheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was hit by a bullet; the sound of flesh being pierced was extremely dull.
—The only happiness is lost.
The only person who didn't hate me is gone.
Ahhh...
Her unkempt, sharp nails dug into her skin, her pearly teeth biting her lips, and her eyes, revealed by the long hair lifted by the long sword, shone with a blinding purple light, exuding an inhuman aura—Raiden Mei could no longer endure it. Her entire self had finally collapsed completely, and even the weak and gentle personality she had been forcibly transformed could not withstand the darkness that was more desperate than despair, a darkness without a shred of hope.
"Why?"
Why does it have to be me who has to go through all this?
"Why do I have to go through so many problems?"
"Father is clearly very wealthy, why does he insist on forcibly raising funds?"
"The Raiden family has already paid the price, so why do my classmates still hate me?"
"ME Company has already been taken over by someone else, so why do people in the city still hate me?"
"I don't understand any of this. I don't know why it has become like this, why... why the world has to operate in a way that I can't understand!"
The world doesn't need to stop turning because of any individual's thoughts. The cruel earth will devour everyone. The harm of a mere individual is nothing in the eyes of the world, utterly insignificant. Countless individuals may appear every minute and every second, and their entire organs would only be worth that little money.
This is indeed the law governing the world, the cruelest and most real thing that the girl was forced to learn and understand during this period.
But!
Why should I accept such an unreasonable world!
Why should I have to swallow my anger and accept this since ancient times?
Why should we endure everything, swallow all the hurt, and wait to die silently in a stinking ditch like a rat?!
Why……
why?
why! ! !
……
…0Bawu[private; Qi Qi…
……
No one responded, nor was any response required.
Countless times, while hiding in the toilet with a wet body, I had already obtained the answer from Tsumaru Rinjitsu.
The clear blue sky suddenly darkened, and countless oppressive clouds appeared in a way that defied the laws of physics, blurring the boundary between day and night, with lightning faintly appearing in the thick, dark clouds.
Raiden Mei slowly raised her head, roaring and cursing as she looked into the distance, towards the edge of the line of sight where a red light still lingered.
"Since you all want to see me like this, then you'd all die!"
……
Chapter 30 Cocolia: Bronya lost?
"Sigh, I don't know how many years it will be before I can come back after leaving Changkong City this time."
"Dad, can you open the window?"
"Okay, you go drive it."
The weather was perfect, the sun was shining brightly, and a family who happened to be driving away from Changkong couldn't help but turn around and saw this scene through the window—
Like veils, the clouds undulated in the crystal-clear sunlight. The vast sky and the clouds adorning it were like a blueberry cake covered in cream, sprinkled with countless granulated sugars.
Whether it's the occasional breeze, the gentle sunlight symbolizing the early morning, or the damp air... everything has the refreshing crispness of a day after the rain.
This is an extremely beautiful scene, enough to make anyone yearn for it.
Even those who have lost their goals and confidence in life will find some comfort in seeing this scene.
But at the very limit of what the eyes can see, at the junction of the endless sky and the horizon, the gap that appears somewhat blurred due to the soft light suddenly transforms into two completely different paintings, as if they were edited together, piecing together the skies of two different points in time.
--thunder.
What a huge thunderstorm!
It was a scene that would leave anyone who saw it in awe, on the horizon—
The entire city of Changkong was shrouded in massive dark clouds. Even the edges of the cloud layer, where the clouds were relatively thin, looked as if the end of the world had arrived. The sky was blocked out, and in the endless darkness, not a single ray of light or a single dazzling neon light could be observed, and the outline of the city could not even be seen.
Just like in ancient RPG games, the player controls the protagonist and pushes the game forward to the final battle.
The final battle against the Great Demon King, the final enemy, is usually the most thrilling and expensive level to reach.
At this point, in order to highlight the strength of the enemy and the sense of crisis that the whole world would continue to fall if they failed, game developers would design the starting village or important city, which was usually sunny and peaceful, to be shrouded in darkness.
This makes the Demon King appear very powerful, as his mere appearance plunges the world into darkness, while also highlighting the reason for the necessity of fighting the enemy—to ensure that the world does not lose its light and brightness.
Darkness is the most primal fear, a source that is ingrained in everyone's childhood, often associated with falling and noise. It is the villain etched into everyone's instincts.
The simplest way to create a sense of oppression for a scene or a corner is to make the sky darken when it appears.
At a higher level, it involves adding special anomalies, such as unique natural disasters, environmental changes, or terrifying noises.
What appears before your eyes now is the most classic style—countless thunderbolts hanging in the sky. As one of the most terrifying natural disasters in ancient times, the thunderbolts, imbued with countless meanings, vent their power wantonly, adding a touch of madness and rage to the otherwise calm scene.
The endless flashes of light, which should have been fleeting, leaving only a moment of brilliance and a brief thunderclap, instead appeared for a long time in a way that defied the laws of physics, creating a scene resembling a prison-like hell.
At the edge of the field of vision, Changkong City, which is almost one color with the sky and can only be vaguely seen as a blurry shadow, is clearly the place where the Great Demon King's royal city resides, as the darkest and most chaotic center.
On a high-rise building almost right next to the Demon King's castle, just a step away from being shrouded in dark clouds, it seems that a hero is still trying to hunt the Demon King.
The bullets prepared to avoid killing were removed.
It was replaced with pure firepower dance seven (eight) Ming Ni Lu Yi.
But this still seems meaningless.
The cannonballs flying in the air were melted in an instant—as a special product of anti-entropy, the weapon, which was powerful enough to penetrate the temple-level defense, began to deform before it even reached its target. Starting from the tip, it began to twist like fragile paper touching a flame, until it was completely melted into a pool of molten iron and fell to the ground.
Bronya watched this scene coldly, picked up her phone, held it horizontally in the air, and pointed the screen out the window.
"Mom, the level two stimulus was downgraded due to uncontrollable factors, while the level one stimulus was successful. Result: Herrscher personality emerged."
Question 1: She is very strong.
Question 2: Bronya has been discovered.
Beneath the utterly emotionless words, the reflection on the screen revealed a series of lightning bolts. The clouds, which had been barely a step away, had already shrouded the world in darkness in the instant before the words were even finished, and even the reflection on the screen vanished without a trace in an instant.
The electronic device's signal began to fluctuate instantly. The other woman on the other side of the screen only had one command left to issue.
"Knock her out!"
……
……
……
……
Even now, sitting quietly in the command room, Cocolia still believes that she can control everything and that the power of the Herrscher is enough to be defeated by her daughter—a mercenary who has undergone human modification.
She was even fantasizing in her mind about how she would use the Herrscher Core if she obtained it.
Is it meant to be made into a Divine Key?
