[I'm reaping what I sow. Now, I'm flipping through my notes and writing at the same time. My progress is so slow … After all, the author spent a whole chapter explaining the problem, and I'm trying to fit it into the plot of a web novel. Those who are curious can wait. It's the weekend anyway. Also, I would like to recommend you guys to listen to a song when you read this chapter. I think it's very suitable. After I update the chapter, you guys can take a look at the title of the song.]
Lin Sanjiu had actually walked into the encirclement of the two officers. None of them noticed this, nor did they expect it.
They were all very 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 air seemed to have turned into a wall. 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 grew long.
Even though the searchlight was trying its best to illuminate the oasis, it was hard to see the transparent fingernails without the reflection of the metal. 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 you two are not on good terms. This morning, not only did he tell me the reason why you disappeared last time, he also told me something about your nails … "Chen Jinfeng's smile was very annoying, and his voice was extremely sticky." In short, if I break your nails one by one, you won't be able to hurt me, right? "
12 went to see Chen Jinfeng? Where is he now?
Marcie knew that he wouldn't answer her question, so she didn't 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, and he clapped his hands twice. As the sound gradually disappeared in the air, with them as the center, circles of color rippled out. In less than a breath's time, the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
The factory district, which was originally dark and illuminated by the searchlights from the upper floors, had disappeared. Instead, there was a jungle under the bright sun. Tall and strange-looking plants stood in clusters, and there was a field of wild grass that reached up to his ankles. The place where Marcie was at was quite spacious. She looked up and saw a small piece of blue sky between the thick green leaves.
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 to her surroundings.
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 fully unfolded it. How is it? Beautiful, right? "
As soon as he finished speaking, a high-speed shadow suddenly shot from behind. Although it was fast, the sound of the wind was so soft that it was almost inaudible. When it flew behind Marcie's head, she was startled and suddenly moved sideways. The thing flew in front of her and landed on the ground.
At this time, blood slowly oozed out from the tip of her nose.
Marcie looked at it in shock and realized that it was a wildflower.
After hardening, the petals of the wildflower spread out stiffly, and the edge of the flower shone with a sharp knife 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 transformed into a weapon … Don't just be careful of the wildflower. "
She looked up at the source of the voice. In the next second, Marcie suddenly took a step forward and ran. Behind her, pieces of sharp flakes fell densely from the sky, as if they were chasing after her. She only stopped after running for about twenty meters.
She turned around and saw that there was a forest of solid white clouds standing on the ground.
Damn, "everything" can really be transformed 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 forest was getting deeper and deeper, this nest could not really be infinite. It must still be limited by reality. Take the infirmary for example, the nest only occupied one room, and there were still people coming and going outside …
The problem now was, in this space that was not so vast and endless, where was Chen Jinfeng hiding?
"I say —" His voice sounded again. At the moment when Marcie looked up, a green shadow whipped towards her. She hurriedly rolled away, but found that this time, the attack was not aimed at her, but at her hand. The curled vines stopped in the air, and with a shake, two long nails fell out.
She looked down and saw that the ring and middle fingers of her left hand were empty, and only the stubble of the nails was left.
"There are eight more —" Chen Jinfeng's proud voice was amplified, "When your nails are gone, I will go out and see you. Let's have some fun, okay?"
No, actually, she only had six nails left.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Marcie's forehead, and she felt a little anxious. She could not keep her nails. 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 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, and she did not dare to use her nails 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, there are only seven left!" Accompanied by Chen Jinfeng's laughter, another nail broke off and stuck in a branch.
Five — this was the number of nails 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 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 nails was wrong?
What was he blocking that he could not see clearly …?
Marcie gulped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If she continued to resist passively, her nails 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 violently, and her chest was trembling — Marcie looked left and right. Suddenly, she quickened her pace, turned around, and dashed towards the dense forest.
This time, she did not have any scruples. She exerted her maximum speed and rushed into the depths of the forest like a shadow.
Behind her, countless leaves, branches, and flowers floated in the air at the same time. They were so dense that they covered most of the sky — it was a ghastly 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 to be 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.
Even she did not know how she moved forward.
Her two forearms, which were protecting her head and face, were already dripping with blood. Some of the wounds were so deep that even her 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 rainstorm of attacks, revealing the snow-white and blood-red skin underneath.
However, Chen Jinfeng did not even mention her half-naked appearance. 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 nails 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 and shimmered under the sunlight.
Looking at the river, Marcie's blood-covered face revealed an almost sinister smile. The only remaining nail 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 everywhere. A figure jumped out and fled to the other side.
"Even you 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, the figure of a woman covered in blood leaped in the air. At that moment, it was as if time had frozen — her prey tumbled and fell to the ground.
Chen Jinfeng only felt a burning pain on his back, and then from the corner of his eyes, he saw a drop of his own blood. He had just opened his mouth to scream "No —" when the sunlight disappeared.
The blue sky also disappeared.
The grassland, the jungle, the river, everything became blurred and gradually faded from his vision.
The buildings and searchlights of the factory district appeared in front of him again.
The air suddenly became scorching hot, and every breath seemed to be self-torture — before the skin that touched the ground could even feel the pain, it had already started to emit white smoke.
Is this how people who have not evolved to adapt to high temperatures feel?
Chen Jinfeng gasped for air, he felt like a fish out of water, and his internal organs were about to shatter — at this moment, 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 …"
