Chapter 177 Sending her on her final journey
Humans are truly fragile.
Ji Xingyi only needed to input a tiny bit of power, and the drunken human's body disintegrated.
What a piece of trash.
He experimented on one human after another, until a woman stood by a pool of blood and wept.
The woman's tears fell into the blood pool. As Ji Xingyi watched the glistening teardrops sink into the blood pool, his soul began to ache.
Human tears taste salty?
Ji Xingyi was suddenly confused. How did she know that?
why?
Each soul-searching inquiry caused a shadow to constantly flash in the depths of one's soul.
Who?
The blood pool exhibited an astonishing boiling phenomenon!
"Xingyi..."
A muffled sound suddenly entered Ji Xingyi's soul.
Who is speaking?
This looks familiar, who is it?
Why can't I remember?
Numerous blood tentacles gushed from the blood pool, frantically invading the human town.
What is he shouting?
Koichi...
who is it?
Ji Xingyi felt as if his soul was about to split open, and let out a painful roar. As the power expanded wildly, a large number of blood-red cracks began to appear in the sky. The crimson spider web covered the light at a visible speed!
boom--
The sky shattered like snowflakes.
Like a bubble ball floating in the air, the whole world suddenly exploded!
Jiang Lin was very fast; he completed two days' worth of work in just one hour. Seeing that Ji Xingyi was still asleep, he reached out and stroked the man's hair, gazing at Ji Xingyi's sleeping face with fascination.
Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in Jiang Lin's heart, which made him unconsciously touch the man's cheek: "Xingyi?"
Jiang Lin's bad premonition grew stronger. Seeing that Ji Xingyi was still not awake, she reached out and pried open Ji Xingyi's left eyelid.
The man's entire eye was stained with blood, leaving only the black pupil.
Ji Xingyi was clearly not awake, but his eyes rolled upwards, aimed at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin's face instantly turned furious as he unleashed his powerful mental energy.
Suddenly, Ji Xingyi's entire shoulder trembled violently as he snapped out of the nightmare. He grabbed Jiang Lin's arm and gasped for breath!
Ji Xingyi was covered in sweat, still unable to control the trembling of his body. The accumulated injuries kept erupting, and his soul was like a lone boat on the sea, being mercilessly battered by layer upon layer of tides.
"Linlin." Ji Xing looked up at Jiang Lin, the bloodshot in her eyes gone: "I had a dream."
Jiang Lin turned and glared angrily at the blood pool.
Yingniang shrank to the bottom of the pool, cautiously sending out the message: "It wasn't me, it was it..."
Yingniang cannot fully control the power of the other world. After Ji Xingyi drank the Qingxi Tea, the power of the Blood River within him spontaneously influenced Ji Xingyi's soul.
Jiang Lin: "What did you dream about?"
Ji Xingyi lowered his head and gasped for breath: "It must be its origin... I think I've become it..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin could no longer suppress her anger and pulled the man into her arms.
Ji Xingyi pressed his head against Jiang Lin's abdomen, feeling the warmth emanating from the young man, which slightly eased the pain of his soul being torn apart: "Is it... summoning me?"
"Don't worry about it," Jiang Lin said softly. "You promised me you wouldn't take risks for these irrelevant people."
"I know," Ji Xingyi said with a wry smile.
At noon, Jin Lushan sent someone to deliver food. Ji Xingyi hid behind the cabinet. The visitor dared not approach the blood pool. After putting down the food, he took some of the fan surfaces that Jiang Lin had prepared and left in a hurry.
The food delivered was not lavish; it consisted of only a few steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup. It certainly didn't seem like Jin Lushan's extravagant way of doing things.
"Something seems to have happened outside." During the brief interval between the opening and closing of the underground palace's switches, Ji Xingyi could still smell the smoky, burning smell.
Jiang Lin handed the bowl and chopsticks to Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi shook her head slightly: "You go first."
Jiang Lin lowered her eyes: "Are you worried about the people outside?"
Ji Xingyi: "Wang Zhe and Chen Jiangqiao are our team members."
Jiang Lin glanced at the blood pool.
A tentacle immediately emerged from the pool of blood and slapped the floor twice.
“She said there are still two people alive,” Jiang Lin replied to Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi breathed a sigh of relief. Chi Xuan and Guo Xinwen were here; only Chen Jiangqiao, Wang Zhe, and Zhou Jue remained outside. With Chi Xuan arrested, the possibility of Zhou Jue's death was greater than that of Wang Zhe and Chen Jiangqiao. But he still refused, saying to Jiang Lin, "You eat first."
Jiang Lin got angry, narrowed her eyes, and held the steamed bun to the man's mouth: "Open your mouth."
Ji Xingyi sighed, opened her mouth, and took a bite: "Alright, you eat it."
Jiang Lin chuckled, and the two of them finished their food together.
Because he was dragged into a dream by the Blood River again, Ji Xingyi dared not sleep anymore, so he observed the situation of the four people in the Blood Pool.
The four people had their eyes open but no spirit, as if their souls had been ripped out. Jingkang was having a nightmare, his mouth agape as he let out terrifying screams from time to time. Guo Xinwen and Chi Xuan looked as pale as dead paper, their condition even worse than Su Yuning, who had entered first.
"Does Su Yuning have a chance?" Ji Xingyi looked at Jiang Lin.
“A 30% chance,” Jiang Lin replied.
Ji Xingyi was surprised: "Only 30%?"
Jiang Lin gave the man a strange look: "That's all she's capable of, but even with a 30% chance, she still has a chance."
Ji Xingyi: "Where are the others?"
Jiang Lin: "One-tenth."
At 2 p.m., Guo Xinwen, who was in the blood pool, suddenly let out a painful scream.
Ji Xingyi hurriedly looked over and saw the woman trembling violently in the blood pool. The collagen in her face had disappeared at some point, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were rolling back, and her screams were particularly shrill.
Ji Xingyi frowned: "What's wrong with her?"
Jiang Lin: "Her soul is about to collapse, and her body can't hold on any longer."
In short, he's going to die.
Ji Xingyi was deeply shaken.
"Ahhh—" Guo Xinwen suddenly regained consciousness as if in a final burst of energy before death. She trembled and turned her head, her blurred vision revealing Ji Xingyi. Her dry eyes suddenly brightened: "Help...me..."
Ji Xingyi slightly opened his eyes, and after thinking for a few breaths, he bent down and pulled out the spare dagger hidden under his trouser leg.
Jiang Lin looked surprised and angrily grabbed the man's arm: "Ji Xingyi!"
"Don't save her!"
You promised me!
Once inside the Blood Pool, the power of the Blood River will seize the opportunity to invade Ji Xingyi's soul again. Jiang Lin is restricted by the system and cannot use the power beyond the limit, which will be extremely dangerous!
Ji Xing sighed, looking down at Jiang Lin: "Linlin, she doesn't want me to save her, she just hopes I can..."
Ji Xingyi turned to look at Guo Xinwen with pity in her eyes.
"Help her get out of this predicament."
Guo Xinwen wept bitterly; her eyeballs had begun to dissolve, and blood slowly flowed from the gradually sinking holes.
"Why……"
Is being born poor fate?
Is it fate for the weak to be bullied?
Is participating in this damn game my fate?
"Do not……"
My life...is my own...it's mine!
"Help...me!" Guo Xinwen shouted to Ji Xingyi with her last breath, but unfortunately, her tongue had also dissolved, and she could not make any sound.
Fortunately, Ji Xingyi understood and threw the dagger toward Guo Xinwen's heart, sending her on her final journey.
