Lin Sanjiu had actually walked into the encirclement of the two officers. None of them noticed this, nor did they expect it.
This was because they were all busy.
With a "swoosh" sound, a strong gust of air suddenly exploded. Marcie, who was running for her life, hit her head on the air and almost fell.
She reached out and touched the air. The invisible air seemed to have turned into a wall, and she had no idea where the boundary was. She covered her nose and turned around to look at Chen Jinfeng, who was not far from her.
The latter couldn't stop smiling. He rubbed his hands in satisfaction and took two steps forward, "See, we meet again."
Marcie looked at him coldly and lowered her hand. Her fingernails were long.
Even though the searchlights were trying their best to illuminate the oasis, it was hard to see her fingernails clearly in the dark. Only when Marcie glanced over could she see that the nails on her two little fingers were broken and two were missing.
Chen Jinfeng did not care about her battle stance at all. His eyes lingered on her chest for a moment before he smiled and said, "By the way, I've met Septimus."
Marcie raised her head.
"It seems like the two of you are not on good terms. This morning, not only did he tell me why you disappeared, he also told me something about your fingernails … "Chen Jinfeng's smile was very annoying, and his voice was very sticky," Anyway, if I break your fingernails one by one, you won't be able to hurt me, right? "
12 went to meet Chen Jinfeng? Where is he now?
Marcie knew that he would not answer her question, so she did not bother to ask. Her tone was flat as she spat out a sentence, "You want to dodge my nails? Come and try."
The smile on Chen Jinfeng's face faded. He clapped his hands twice. As the sound gradually disappeared, with them as the center, ripples of colors spread out. In less than a breath's time, the scenery around them had completely changed.
The factory district, which was originally dark with the searchlights from the upper floors, had disappeared. It was a jungle with a bright sun in the sky. Tall and strange-looking plants stood in clusters, and beneath their feet was a patch of wild grass that reached their ankles. The place where Marcie was at was quite spacious. She looked up. Between the thick green branches and leaves, there was a small patch of azure sky.
The place where Chen Jinfeng had been standing was now empty except for a few tender yellow flowers.
She cautiously took a few steps forward, listening intently for any movement around her.
Chen Jinfeng's voice suddenly came down from the blue sky. "… The nest you saw me open last time was only the most basic appearance. Today I unfolded it completely. What do you think? Pretty, right? "
As soon as he finished speaking, a high-speed shadow suddenly shot out from behind her. Although it was fast, the sound of the wind was almost inaudible. When it flew to the back of Marcie's head, she was startled. She suddenly moved sideways, and the thing flew past her and landed on the ground.
At this time, a trail of blood slowly seeped out from the tip of her nose.
Marcie was still in a state of shock. She then realized that the thing turned out to be a wildflower.
After hardening, the petals of the wildflower spread out stiffly, and the edge of the flower shone with a sharp blade light. Once it spun, it was simply a beautiful meat grinder. She picked up the flower and gently cut her hair. The red strands of hair immediately fell to the ground.
"Haha, how is it? Not bad, right? Let me tell you, everything in my nest can be turned into weapons … Don't just be careful of the wildflower. "
She looked up at the source of the voice. The next second, Marcie suddenly took a step forward and dashed forward. Behind her, pieces of sharp, densely packed flakes fell from the sky.
It was as if they were chasing her. She ran for at least 20 meters. Only then did she stop.
She turned around and saw that there was a forest of solid white clouds standing on the ground.
'Everything' really could be turned into a weapon! She cursed under her breath as she quickly scanned the entire nest with her eyes.
Although the blue sky seemed endless and the jungle was getting deeper and deeper, this nest could not really be infinite. It must still be limited by reality. Take the infirmary as an example. The nest only occupied one room, and there were still people coming and going outside …
The problem now was, where exactly was Chen Jinfeng hiding in this space that wasn't vast and boundless?
"I said —" His voice rang out again. Just as Marcie raised her head, a green shadow whipped towards her. She hurriedly rolled away, only to find that this attack was not aimed at her, but at her hand. The curled vines stopped in the air, and with a shake, two long fingernails fell out.
She looked down and saw that the ring and middle fingers of her left hand were empty, leaving only the stubble of the fingernails.
"There are eight more —" Chen Jinfeng's proud voice was amplified, "When your fingernails are gone, I will go out and see you. Let's have some fun, okay?"
No, actually, she only had six fingernails left.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Marcie's forehead, and she started to feel a little anxious. She could not keep her fingernails. Once she did, she would not even have the last weapon to defend herself.
Where could he be?
She touched her pocket and was immediately disappointed. She had spent too much time in the oasis, and was already used to the electric lights. She did not even have the habit of carrying a lighter with her … Otherwise, she could try lighting a fire.
In the corner of her vision, there was another shadow flying towards her. Marcie did not know what it was, so she did not dare to use her fingernails to block it. She could only turn around and escape. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, a dozen branches whistled towards her. In a moment of panic, she hugged her head and rolled on the ground —
"Okay, only seven left!" Accompanied by Chen Jinfeng's laughter, another fingernail broke off and stuck in a branch.
Five — this was the number of fingernails she still had. Two on her left hand and three on her right —
Huh?
Marcie was suddenly stunned.
In Chen Jinfeng's nest, the warm sun was not too strong. The warm sunlight shone on the green leaves and branches, reflecting the blue sky. Everything was very clean and clear. It was different from the dim light in the oasis. Everything in this nest could be seen clearly.
So, why did Chen Jinfeng not notice that the number of fingernails was wrong?
What was he hiding behind that he couldn't see clearly …?
Marcie gulped. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If she continued to resist passively, her fingernails would soon all be broken. By then, she would really become a fish on the chopping board — it was better to take a risk.
Her heart was beating so violently that her chest was trembling — Marcie looked left and right. Suddenly, she quickened her pace, turned around, and dashed into the dense forest.
This time, she did not have any scruples. She exerted her maximum speed and dashed into the depths of the forest like a shadow.
There were countless leaves, branches, and flowers behind her. At the same time, they floated in mid-air, densely packed, and covered most of the sky — it was a shocking sight to behold.
"What's wrong? Are you trying to hide? "She did not know if it was an illusion, but Chen Jinfeng's voice seemed a little different from before. Immediately, hundreds of flowers and plants behind her, which had turned into deadly weapons, rushed straight into the dense forest with a swoosh.
Not only the pursuers behind her — there were also countless branches and leaves flashing with knife light from within the forest. They gathered into a terrifying number and rained down on Marcie like raindrops.
Even she did not know how she moved forward.
Her two forearms protected her head and face. They were already dripping with blood, and some of the open wounds were so deep that bones could be seen. Her thighs were pierced by a few steel-like flowers, and every step she took was as painful as cutting the nerves in her legs. Needless to say, her clothes had long been shredded by the rain-like attacks, revealing the snow-white and blood-red skin underneath.
However, Chen Jinfeng did not even mention that she was half-naked — instead, he counted more and more quickly, and there was even a hint of uneasiness in his voice, "Six, five, four —"
He counted the number of fingernails that Marcie had lost.
"Three!"
When he counted three, and Marcie actually only had one left, it was as if the endless forest had finally stopped at a river.
The surface of the river rippled. Under the sunlight, it shone with a golden light.
Looking at the river, Marcie's blood-covered face revealed an almost ferocious smile. The only remaining fingernail was already protected by her body, no matter how crazy the attacks behind her became. Chen Jinfeng could not continue counting down.
"In the end, I still found you …"
Almost at the same time when she said this, the rhythmic golden light on the river surface shattered, and the water splashed. A figure jumped out and fled to the other side.
"Do you also have times when you are afraid?" Marcie laughed. She had never felt so much power in her body before.
Under the blue sky that projected a halo of sunlight. A woman's figure covered in blood leaped into the air, and at that moment, it was as if her prey was frozen — her prey tumbled and fell to the ground.
Chen Jinfeng only felt a burning pain in his back, and then he saw a drop of his own blood from the corner of his eyes. He just opened his mouth and screamed, "No —", and the sunlight disappeared.
The blue sky also disappeared.
The grass, the forest, the river, everything blurred and gradually faded out of his vision.
The buildings in the factory area and the searchlights appeared in front of him again.
The air suddenly became scorching hot, and every breath seemed to be self-torture — the skin that touched the ground did not even have the time to feel pain, and there was already a burnt smell of white smoke.
Is this how people who have not evolved to adapt to high temperatures feel?
Chen Jinfeng gasped for air, and he felt like a fish out of the water. His internal organs were about to break — At this time, a foot stepped heavily on his throat.
"We meet again." Marcie looked down at him. Although she was injured, her expression was calm. "But, I don't want to see you again next time …"
"No, no … please, please …"
Ignoring him, Marcie stabbed the last long nail deep into the center of Chen Jinfeng's forehead as if she was cutting tofu. (To be continued.)
