Volume Thirty-Four
Sixty-seven nights of faith, bit by bit, with the footsteps of time, the darkness is like the devil's claws slowly stretching out, bit by bit, slowly covering the whole city, with screams, panic, and panic.
...The fear of the citizens clawed deeply into Tang Peng's heart and flesh, scratching out a bloody scar, and darkness rapidly expanded in the depths of his soul...Suddenly, a familiar voice
As if pulling him out of the darkness, a glimmer of light appeared in front of his hazy eyes. Tang Peng's heart calmed down a little. That was Chen Xi's voice. Fortunately... at least, he was no longer alone...
....
Tao Ran was obviously surprised by Chen Xi's appearance, but the surprise lasted only for a moment, and a smile soon appeared on his face again:
"Haha! It's getting more and more interesting! I didn't expect you to come. By the way, Chen Xi, your birthday is coming soon. I wish you a happy birthday in advance!"
Tao Ran greeted him with a smile, as if nothing had happened, he walked up to Chen Xi naturally and extended his right hand in a friendly manner... Chen Xi looked at Tao Ran's outstretched hand with a serious face, and his mood at the moment
It has never been so complicated. He slowly closed his eyes and suddenly knocked off Tao Ran's hand:
"I think this has nothing to do with you, Dark God!"
The atmosphere became awkward in an instant, and the weight of time seemed to be concentrated at this moment. The whole room came to a standstill, and it was so heavy that people could not breathe...
Tao Ran smiled slightly, then let out a long sigh, then walked back to his seat calmly and sat down, but his face became serious:
"Because I didn't expect you to come, I didn't prepare a seat for you. Please forgive me."
Chen Xi walked to Tang Peng without any reaction, looking directly at Tao Ran, and then took a deep breath:
"When Cheng Shuai came to me, he asked me to do three things for him... The first two things can be ignored (Chapter 25 of this case), and the third thing is to ask me to investigate a person...
..That person is you - do you remember that I went to find you after I knew you came back (Chapter 15 of this case). At that time, you deliberately diverted my attention to Chang Jing, but then you
But Chang Jing was never mentioned again..."
"So, you already doubted me then?"
Chen Xi did not answer. He closed his eyes and refused to let himself think. The man in front of him was once his lifelong friend...
"Chen Xi, don't you think about the consequences?" Tang Peng suddenly asked calmly, subconsciously crossing his hands in front of himself and waiting for an answer.
"You mean Ao Shuang..." There was a trace of sadness in Chen Xi's eyes, but then he forced a smile and faced Tang Peng, "Since I have decided to come here, I am already dead.
Awakening, last time I gave up the opportunity to fight alongside Cheng Shuai because of my attachment to my family. This time, I am no longer confused - as for Ao Shuang, I believe she will forgive my choice..."
For some reason, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Peng's mouth. It was a sign of relief. He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked directly at Tao Ran with his invisible eyes. Two incomparable rays of light shot out from his empty white eyes, illuminating him.
The strongest belief deep in my heart...
At this moment, Chen Xi's cell phone suddenly rang. Chen Xi's color suddenly changed after hesitating to answer the call. Sweat fell from his cheeks one by one. Tang Peng and Tao Ran only heard a clear girl yelling on the phone:
"Xixi, come back! You don't want your life! Why are you involved in their affairs? Come back quickly..."
Tao Ran then remembered that he had forgotten to turn off the screen just now. Everything happening here was being broadcast live. No wonder Ao Shuang knew that Chen Xi was here...
"Honey, don't be angry, don't be angry, I, it's really hard for me to leave now... If I die, you must live well..."
"You'll die! I'm warning you, if you don't leave there within ten minutes, we will divorce you!"
"Honey, don't, don't do this, I'm helping save our city now..."
"Just leave this kind of matter to Tang Peng, the one who took advantage of you. It's none of your business! Come back here!"
"..." Tang Peng suddenly felt an indescribable feeling and couldn't help but sweat.
The "dispute" between Chen Xi and Ao Shuang continued. Tao Ran finally couldn't help but stepped forward and turned off the screen, then walked over and snatched Chen Xi's phone:
"Ao Shuang, we are now..."
"You're exactly the same size! Tao Ran, do you think I can't see you if you turn off the screen? I'm warning you, if there is anything wrong with my Xixi, I..."
Tao Ran broke into sweat, numbly turned off his phone, raised his head and looked Chen Xi up and down:
"You have been able to 'preserve' her so 'completely' after being married to her for so long. I really admire you..."
Chen Xi secretly lowered his head and burst into tears. Tang Peng coughed a few times in embarrassment and faced Tao Ran seriously:
"Why are you doing this?"
"Why?" Tao Ran looked at Tang Peng with interest and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't you think the world we live in is very sad? Going to school, graduating, struggling in society for survival...
.. A child’s destiny is forcibly arranged by the government and our urban world from the moment he is born... People should control their own destiny, Tang Peng, Chen Xi, I believe you and I agree on this.
, so I want to create a new world, where people can freely control their own destiny, and there is no longer anything forced or that must be completed. It is a completely free and beautiful world! This is my mission and also me
Faith!"
Tang Peng closed his eyes, slowly exhaled, and faced him without changing his expression:
"You have your beliefs, and I have mine. We believe that neither of us will change. And my belief is: No matter how big the dark clouds are, they can't cover the sun forever. There will always be a sunny day...
..Tao Ran, no, Dark God, I want to stop you!"
"And me!" Chen Xi looked at him seriously, his eyes full of passion, "I don't know what you are thinking, but you have killed so many innocent people, and I will never let you hurt again.
More!"
"Boom", suddenly a loud noise came, and then the whole police station shook violently like an earthquake. Tang Peng and Chen Xi felt as if the world was spinning. It took a while to calm down. For some reason, an ominous feeling
The premonition slowly crept into the minds of Tang Peng and Chen Xi. Chen Xi instinctively rushed to the screen. After searching for a while, he found the screen near the surveillance police station. He opened it with trembling hands. Sure enough, a towering
The building has become a ruin in the fire. Countless people screamed in despair inside. The surrounding crowd helplessly looked at the bombed building. There were still weak children inside! Chen Xi was stunned for a long time.
In front of the screen, unable to move...
"What you said is very nice." Tao Ran calmly sat back on his seat, with a complicated smile on his lips, "But is it a bit exaggerated compared to what you can do? By the way, Tang Peng, I suddenly changed my mind now.
, I will subtract a large part of the time I give you - I will press the buttons of the two remote controls at the same time at half past nine, which means you still have thirty minutes - Tang Peng, please hurry up.
Tell me your choice."
Tang Peng was stunned, his mind went blank:
"You bastard!"
As time goes by, darkness swallows people's hopes bit by bit...
The ending of Sixty-Eight is "Wow". A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in the dark night and struck directly into the ground. Then, the heavy rain poured down violently, washing away the fear in the city like a waterfall, but nothing could be washed away.
The fear is still deepening little by little, biting fiercely in the deepest part of people's hearts...
"Oh!? It seems to be raining..." Tao Ran stood up with a smile, glanced at the screen opened by Chen Xi, stretched out his hands and stretched his body, as if everything that happened in the city had nothing to do with him.
, walked towards the exit freely and casually.
"Where do you want to go?" Chen Xi suddenly yelled at him, completely losing his previous politeness and his eyes were full of fiery anger. At this moment, he had fully realized that the person in front of him was not the Tao Ran he knew, but a complete
demon!
Tang Peng was stunned when he heard the voice, and subconsciously turned his head:
"He's leaving?"
"Leave? Haha!" Tao Ran laughed softly, lowered his head and looked ahead coldly, "If I want to leave, no one can stop me, but... Haha! I just want to go up to the roof and take a look.
Rain, completely immerse yourself in the grace of nature, let your body breathe freely in the heavy rain... It is very comfortable, will you come?"
Chen Xi looked at Tang Peng, wondering what Tao Ran was up to, and hesitated to follow him. Tang Peng lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up and groped toward the door with a calm expression. Chen Xi quickly stepped forward to support him, and Tao Ran smiled.
He smiled and walked towards the roof without looking back...
The three of them came to the roof one after another, and stood facing each other one after another, without saying anything. The rain fell more fiercely, rushing straight into the ground like a splash, hitting the floor of the roof of the police station heavily, and the rain seemed to be falling on the roof.
Accumulated in an instant, the continuously falling heavy rain exceeded the drainage speed of the roof, turning it into a shallow pool made of nature.
Tao Ran slowly stretched out his hands, closed his eyes and reveled in the washing of the rain alone. Tang Peng stood there without saying a word, facing him calmly, seeming to be thinking about something. Chen Xi raised his head slightly and straightened.
Staring at Tao Ran, his eyes were already surrounded by anger. The cold wind blew gently, pouring icy chill into the surrounding air. The rain continued...
"How is it? It feels great! Haha! Wonderful nature." Tao Ran smiled pleasantly and squinted his eyes to enjoy the comfort brought by the rain, "Tang Peng, there are still twenty minutes, you have to think about it
?"
Tang Peng didn't answer, his face remained calm and serious. The rain hit him hard in the face, seeping down his cheeks into his body, and piercing his nerves with a biting cold. Chen Xi turned his head and looked at him who had no reaction, and couldn't help but feel
He frowned:
"When I was outside the door, I heard him talking about two remote controls. One of them can detonate the city and blow up Cheng Shuai's life, and the other can launch his real plan...his real plan.
What is it?"
Tang Peng's face suddenly darkened, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth:
"You definitely don't want to know..."
An ominous black mist immediately enveloped Chen Xi's heart. He was overwhelmed by his inexplicable sense of terror, and his brain began to work rapidly, desperately searching for all the answers he could think of...
"Huh huh huh!" Tao Ran suddenly sneered, looking at Tang Peng and Chen Xi with his head lowered, "To create a world, it must go through the stages of destruction, reconstruction, rebirth, development, and maintenance. As you can imagine,
This was a long and complicated process, so my seven angels and I decided..."
"Click", a huge lightning cut through the sky. Although it only lasted for a moment, it illuminated the entire city, but then left endless terror spreading in the hearts of countless people, gradually swallowing up the remaining light...
...Chen Xi stayed where he was, shocked by what he had just heard, and was speechless for a long time...
"You devil..." Chen Xi suddenly knelt on the ground, his eyes blank.
"Devil?" Tao Ran smiled, raised his head and looked at the dark sky, lowered his head and took a deep breath, looking at Tang Peng coldly, "There are still nine minutes..."
"Ah!" Chen Xi suddenly jumped up from the ground like crazy, and rushed towards Chen Xi, trying to snatch away the remote control by force. But the moment he got up, his body seemed to have increased several times in an instant. He could not move at all and was heavy.
It fell to the ground.
Tao Ran smiled and shook his head, slowly closing his eyes, as if he didn't want to see Chen Xi's embarrassment:
"I have a subordinate named 'Poison Maker'. She has a poison that can poison the opponent just by physical contact. This poison can make the poisoned person weak because of the accelerated blood flow at the moment of anger or strenuous exercise, haha!
It's a perfect poison, but the only flaw is that the poison must be lower than the normal human body temperature for the poison to be effective... Haha! Although I love nature very much, I don't have the habit of getting wet in the rain, huh?
…The weather forecast is really accurate.”
"You bastard!" Chen Xi gritted his teeth and fell to the ground. Two flames shot out of his eyes and rushed towards Tao Ran.
Tao Ran ignored him and turned to look at Tang Peng seriously. The other party still had no reaction, and he was calmly thinking about his thoughts. It seemed that he had long realized that he had been poisoned and was trying to control his emotions.
, In fact, he had already discovered the abnormality in his body in the monitoring room. Whenever he was angry, he would feel a sense of powerlessness. It was not until what happened to Chen Xi just now that he understood. Sure enough, no wonder Tao Ran ignored me and attacked him when he entered the door.
Danger comes directly to help me...
"Tang Peng, there are still five minutes... I'm sorry, your calmness made me feel uneasy, and I changed my mind again..." Tao Ran slowly stretched out his fingers, expressionless.
Looking at him, "I only give you ten seconds, and the timer starts from now, ten..."
"What! You bastard!" Tang Peng finally couldn't help but get angry. His fists were clenched tightly, and veins appeared on the back of his hands.
"Nine......"
"you......"
"eight......"
Tang Peng was helpless and froze on the spot, time was swallowing up his confidence bit by bit... He numbly allowed Tao Ran to count, unable to think anymore...
"three......"
"two......"
"You devil!" Suddenly, Chen Xi, who had already fallen limply on the ground, climbed up to Tao Ran and stood up, with a bag of lime in his hand. Tao Ran was stunned and felt dizzy, and then
My eyes hurt like fire... When I opened my eyes, I could no longer see anything...
At this moment, Tang Peng seized the opportunity and carefully controlled his breathing and speed to prevent the blood from flowing too fast. With his keen sense of direction, he threw Tao Ran to the ground, and then quickly snatched two remote controls from his hands.
device...
"You underestimate Chen Xi..." Tang Peng faced the confused Tao Ran. At this time, Chen Xi was poisoned and passed out because of the excessive blood flow caused by the violent movements just now. Tang Peng tightly
Grabbing the remote control, he took a breath and said, "He has also noticed the abnormality in his body a long time ago. When you led us to the roof, I quietly stuffed the lime prepared in advance into his hand, and he understood immediately...
...There's no way I would come without making any preparations."
"Click", another bolt of lightning flashed through the darkness, breaking through the endless night and illuminating the entire earth again...
Chapter completed!
