Chapter 3 The Devil’s Tree
At this moment, Ren Jie felt that the world was dark and his body was getting colder and colder, as if a pair of invisible hands were dragging him towards the depths of darkness...
There were whispers in my ears, like the whispers of demons.
Are you about to die?
Death...is this what it feels like? Ren Jie thought to himself...
I can finally take a break... I have been working part-time all year round, trying every means to make money, and sometimes I can only sleep two or three hours a day... .??.??
I was really tired and could finally have a good sleep.
But I am afraid I will never wake up from this sleep.
What to do with Aunt An Ning? Can she handle it by taking care of Yaoyao by herself?
Without the support of his own source of income, how long can Yaoyao's magic mark disease be sustained?
She would definitely cry when she knew something happened to her, right?
Ahhhh... I really don’t want to die...
I regret so much...
Ren Jie's consciousness struggled hard, but he completely lost control of his body and was unable to recover.
The doctor observed a moment of silence: "At 11.44pm in the middle of the night, the patient's heart stopped, brain death was confirmed, and there were no vital signs..."
"Where are the family members? There is no room in the morgue. Just send them to the cremation room for cremation. Don't bother..."
Wei Pingsheng wiped away his tears: "Let's burn him. Let's see him off for the last time..."
It's better not to let An Ning see Ren Jie's tragic body. It will only add another wound to her heart.
I'll inform her tomorrow...
It's just that Wei Pingsheng doesn't know how to talk to An Ning...
At this moment, Ren Jie was stunned. He clearly heard the conversation between the doctor and Uncle Wei!
Send it directly to the crematorium for cremation? Burn it?
Damn! Are you so careless?
I'm not dead yet, I'm still conscious, why don't I just burn it?
Wouldn't that hurt to death?
You can't treat heroes like this!
However, Ren Jie could do nothing and could only let everyone push him to the cremation room amidst the cries.
Although Ren Jie felt that his consciousness kept falling, his consciousness never dissipated, and he did not know what was going on.
Dead, but not quite dead?
Ren Jie is anxious and crazy
Okay, please help me?
I feel like I can still save him a little more.
However, Ren Jie was as quiet as... bah, it's just a corpse...
…
In the cremation room, the huge incinerator door opened. At this moment, Ren Jie had been put on clean clothes and his remains were sorted out...
Xiao Ming was still crying, and the mother was also holding Xiao Ming and sobbing. After all, he died heroically to save his child.
Tian Yu and the others also wiped away tears. Although they don't like Ren Jie very much on weekdays, they are all from the same youth training team and have been training together for almost a month, so they have some feelings for each other.
Unexpectedly...the first time I went out on field duty, everyone was gone like this...
Wei Pingsheng was squatting on the ground smoking cigarettes, one cigarette after another, with a lonely expression...
The staff member tilted his head and said, "Then I'll burn it..."
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was sad and heavy. Wei Pingsheng nodded silently.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the sound of footsteps, and they saw a girl carrying a long sword rushing into the cremation room.
It was Jiang Jiuli, the girl who fought against the demon at the scene of the demonic disaster.
Without the starlight covering her face, everyone finally saw her face clearly.
She has long black hair hanging down around her waist like a waterfall, bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow, a high nose, and perfect facial features that look like something out of a painting.
It was as if a fairy had descended into the human world, and with her arrival, the entire cremation room seemed to light up.
However, Jiang Jiuli was somewhat embarrassed at the moment. His white sportswear was covered in black ash, and his white arms were also wrapped with bandages.
Everyone looked at this young girl with a pure demeanor in astonishment...
Jiang Jiuli's big eyes fell directly on Ren Jie, his eyes dimmed, and he glanced at Wei Pingsheng again, he hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything...
He just leaned against the wall silently, covered his arms, lowered his head, and clenched his fists tightly...
Although this person himself does not recognize it
However, he was beaten to death by himself. In the final analysis, it was due to his lack of ability...
She was very sad, so as soon as the things over there were over, she ran over...
At least...let me give him a ride...
The staff just glanced at Jiang Jiuli and saw that she had no intention of coming forward, so they pushed Ren Jie directly into the crematorium.
The furnace door closes and the cremation begins.
Ren Jie was already cursing loudly in his heart.
Damn my legs, I’m not completely dead yet, I’m suffering from a fever, what kind of quack is this!
Is it okay to just cremate a dragon for me? ??
The consciousness is still falling, but this time it seems to have reached the bottom...
Ren Jie was surprised to find that he had arrived on a vast mirror lake. Standing in the center of the mirror lake, he looked down and could see his own reflection on the lake.
The reflection distorts as the ripples spread.
Mirror Lake is surrounded by endless dark space, with a few wisps of thin white mist floating on the lake...
Ren Jie was stunned!
"Where is this? The world after death?"
Soon he discovered that he was not the only thing in the mirror lake world. There was also a black fragment floating in the dark space, like it fell from a lump of coal, with dense double helix patterns on it...
Ren Jie's eyes widened suddenly!
"This...isn't this my pendant?"
Ten years ago, a Class A demonic disaster occurred in Jincheng. His parents and younger brother both died of the demonic disaster, but Ren Jie was rescued by a Si Yaoguan named Tao Ran desperately.
Tao Ran also died to save Ren Jie, leaving behind his wife An Ning and five-year-old daughter Tao Yaoyao...
Ren Jie was adopted by An Ning and brought to live in Jincheng...
As for Wei Pingsheng, he was Tao Ran's comrade who also participated in the rescue, so he was so interested in Ren Jie...
Ren Jie clearly remembered that this fragment was accidentally dug out when he was digging randomly in the ruins to dig out his younger brother...
I have worn it on my body for so many years as a talisman, and it is also a thought of my family.<
br>
Could it be that this thing is still a treasure?
Ren Jie couldn't help but think of the burning sensation in his chest when he was first hit. Was it all due to the fragments?
A normal person would have died long ago after suffering such a serious injury, but his consciousness has not dissipated.
Just as Ren Jie was thinking about the situation in front of him.
The black fragments fell straight into the mirror lake.
At this moment, the entire Jinghu Lake space began to vibrate.
A dark giant tree breaks through the lake and grows vigorously. Its main trunk winds like a horned dragon, spiraling upward, turning into a towering tree in the blink of an eye.
Countless thick branches extend out from the main trunk like devil's claws, almost filling the entire Mirror Lake space.
There are many branches but no leaves, just like a burnt dead tree...
Compared to a holy tree, this is more like a demon tree.
Ren Jie's eyes were filled with shock, and what he saw in front of him was already beyond his understanding.
By some strange coincidence, he not only raised his hand to touch the tree trunk, but the breaths of the two were somehow connected with each other...
The next moment, the largest main branch at the bottom of the Devil's Tree lit up, turned red, and burned instantly.
A flame fruit as dazzling as the sun took shape on the flame branch, emitting astonishing high temperatures.
Inside the flame fruit, a demonic shadow can be faintly seen.
At this moment, a whisper like a devil echoed in Renjie's ears:
"The devil's contract is complete! The contract devil: the devil of fire!"
"The price of demonization: making others cry."
"The price has been paid."
"Fire Demon Gene Injection."
"The spirit of the fire demon is born, and the first contract demonization begins."
Ren Jie:???
Almost instantly, the white mist floating on the lake was absorbed by the Devil's Tree.
On the branches of the Flame Demon, infinite flames rushed along the main trunk and fiercely rushed into the Mirror Lake.
It turned into an endless sea of fire and instantly engulfed Ren Jie's consciousness.
Chapter completed!
