Luo Nan could more or less understand the reason for Yan Fen's shocked and pale expression.
After all, this sort of phenomenon, similar to the reversal of time and space, was quite frightening from a visual perspective. But it was a pity that this was only an illusion. This relatively complete body was merely a temporary carrier to collect Wright's chaotic collapse of energy. The complex and precise functions of the human body were ultimately not building blocks. It was impossible for Luo Nan to bestow a new life force to the already shattered cellular tissues. This already exceeded the limits of the domain that his soul strength could reach.
At most, at most, he could only give Yan Fen and even Wright the illusion that he was mostly mistaken.
And it was precisely this tiny domain constructed from this illusion that still allowed the flow of consciousness and cognition. It even allowed the body to make the tiniest of minute reactions.
Within this tiniest of minute limits, Wright's remnant consciousness and his incomplete body blended together. It was like a spark beneath a whirlwind of ashes. Though it was tiny, it was still bright.
Wright miraculously retained a single breath. This also allowed him to personally experience the marvelous taste of his body disintegrating and reassembling, of his soul burning and reassembling … … This was truly the life and death of a person. It followed a majestic and powerful will. It suddenly died and suddenly existed, treading back and forth on the boundary between life and death.
And all of this was led by the furnace before his eyes … … No, it was the master!
He did his best to widen his eyes. The dim light of the outside world penetrated through the shattered and reassembled crystal. It spurred on the cone cells and a series of subsequent nerve reflexes, combining the fuzzy information of the outside world with the imaginary illusions in his brain. It made this demon, who was already destined to die, let out the most pious sigh of his entire life:
"Oh god!"
The temporarily reassembled soul was annihilated. The reformed body collapsed and dissolved like a pile of mud. It also completely digested the impact force of the abyssal storm, turning the intense turbulence of the abyssal plane into nothingness.
This was undoubtedly an extremely cruel way to die. But before Wright completely disintegrated, his vocal cords vibrated. A weak force pushed through the layers of conduction in the air molecules, transmitting the sigh that was rich with emotions in time. Though the range of influence didn't even exceed a diameter of three meters, it was already enough for Luo Nan and Yan Fen to hear it.
Was this a god? A certain someone's requirements were really low.
Luo Nan shook his head slightly. He wasn't as ignorant as Wright. The virtual brain system involved configuration, Dynamo Core, and all sorts of other deep theories. Luo Nan still didn't fully understand them. He stumbled and stumbled when putting them into practice. He could only advance at a tortoise speed within the labyrinth of clouds and mist. And from his perspective of experience, it was just a brilliant sun wheel within an abyss. The might that came from the endless void was immeasurable.
With such a comparison, if he were a god, the power system of this universe would probably collapse immediately … In the end, it was just an overly delusional delusion of an ignorant person.
This was what Luo Nan thought, but Yan Fen, who was lying on the bed, quivered and her entire face swelled red. At that moment, she was still under the influence of the nerve agent. Her limbs were numb, and it was difficult for her to control them. She could only barely move her vocal cords to spell out two words between hiccups and chuckles. Luckily, Luo Nan's ears were good. After Yan Fen repeated it several times, he was finally able to make out the words clearly.
Cloak, cloak!
Hey, a cloak is different from a cloak!
Of course, Luo Nan knew that what Yan Fen said wasn't the literal meaning, but now wasn't the time to get to the bottom of it. From his perspective, finding the right nerve agent treatment method and antidote was more difficult than anything he had done before.
His gaze turned to the door of the damaged room. There, the Vulcan Ant was controlling the giant salamander to stagger back.
Treat a dead horse as if it were alive. Ah, no, the one who started the trouble needs to untie it. Whether or not tonight's matter would have a good ending would depend on whether or not this old saying filled with empiricism would be useful.
Reality proved that Luo Nan's luck wasn't bad. It was just as Dead Ghost Wright had said. He didn't add too much nerve agent to Yan Fen. Yan Fen herself had a rather powerful fleshly body. Her bodily functions were much stronger than a normal person's. After stopping the continuous injection of the nerve agent, Luo Nan assisted her in combing her neural network, and she slowly recovered.
When she was barely able to move, Yan Fen struggled to get down to the ground. She practically threw herself at Luo Nan's feet. She didn't care about the filth and bloodstains on the ground. She gave a heavy kowtow. There weren't any words of thanks coming out of her mouth. Instead, she piously kissed the corner of Luo Nan's cloak.
Was this a custom of some vagrant tribe or their Xie Luo Cult?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Perhaps it could be said that Luo Nan maintained the principle of acting cool. Luo Nan resisted his instinct to avoid it and accepted it.
Yan Fen gave another kowtow after completing the ceremony. Then she staggered to her feet. She practically used her hands and feet to arrive at a corner of the room. Zhang Liu 'an, who had fallen into a semi-conscious state due to massive blood loss, lay there.
Yan Fen didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just used her trembling hands to feel around Zhang Liu 'an's body. Soon, she pulled out a dagger from the leather sheath at Zhang Liu' an's waist … … This should be the weapon that Zhang Liu 'an normally used. He didn't have the time to use it when he attacked Luo Nan, but now Yan Fen had it in her hands.
Without any hesitation, Yan Fen stabbed the dagger straight into Zhang Liu 'an's perfectly fine left shoulder socket. Luo Nan's eyebrows jumped when he saw this, but he didn't seem to have the qualifications to say anything since his feet were a bloody mess.
Zhang Liu 'an woke up from the pain and screamed loudly. But when his eyes reflected the pale and distorted face of his wife, it was as if his throat had been cut open. Only the hissing sound of air leaking could be heard for a time.
Yan Fen pressed the weight of her entire body onto the dagger. The edge of the dagger had long since pierced through Zhang Liu 'an's shoulder socket, stabbing into the ground below. She was very close to Zhang Liu 'an and her husband. She was practically speaking right next to their ears:
"Tell me. Why did you do this?"
"Hiss! Let go! Let go!" Zhang Liu 'an finally remembered to speak, but he begged for mercy from the torment of the pain. His thick and sturdy body spasmed and twitched as he rubbed against the ground.
"Tell me why!" Yan Fen's voice was weak. It was as if she could lose her voice at any time. But the enormous tension of her emotions bombarded Zhang Liu 'an's heart with the piercing edge of the dagger.
Zhang Liu 'an wriggled and struggled on the ground to no avail. He could only scream with all his might: "The Xieluo Order is about to be finished. I told you before. Wright is a member of the Amaterasu Order. The Amaterasu Order … … The strongest of the three great orders. There's no hope for us if we're targeted by them!"
"No hope?"
The breath in Yan Fen's throat trembled. It was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing: "There's no hope for us if we're targeted. You want to sell everyone? Weren't you the ones who insisted on putting on airs? "
Blood gushed out of Zhang Liu 'an's shoulder like a fountain. Blood flowed endlessly from his severed arm as well. His willpower had almost completely collapsed. Tears and snot flowed from the dignified and imposing man's eyes. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even reply for a time.
Yan Fen didn't need to reply either. She was just venting her emotions. "It's you! You used the survival of the tribe as an excuse to push Wu Jun to the top! She's not a member of the tribe. She's just a postgraduate student stranded in the wilderness. She's still pregnant. She was about to return to the city to give Polio a better environment. It's you! You forced her to the top … Ha, it's because of the 'cloak', right? Because she's the only operator in the base who has mastered this technique! "
Once again, Yan Fen twisted the dagger in her hand. Zhang Liu 'an screamed even louder. His waist and legs twisted, he tried desperately to shake Yan Fen off, but it was all in vain. In the end, he just gave up and shouted.
"So what? She should have given me the 'cloak' long ago! "
"… Give it to you?"
"Didn't she want to return to the city? After returning to Spring City, she could have left if she wanted to, but she refused to let go of the position. Those stubborn idiots really treated her like a priest … Fine, even if she was a priest, what did she do? All she did was enchantment! Enchantment! Enchantment! These childish tricks might have been useful in the wilderness, but they're in a big city now. There are so many powerful people in the government, the military, the association, and the church. Enchantment is useless! Give me power, power! "
Zhang Liu 'an's face was purple, and his veins were bulging. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Since she's a priest, isn't it reasonable for her to give power to her believers? If she can't even do that, how can she start a religion? How can she call herself a god? "
Yan Fen screamed back, "We never did that!"
However, Zhang Liu 'an was purely venting at this time. He only roared in his own logic, "That bullsh * t' cloak 'is simply the nonsense of a crazy old man. Only those stubborn fools would worship it as if it were a god and promote it wantonly! Now, the Amaterasu Sect is here. They asked for it, and they got it. Why should I die with them? Of course, I have to sell it for a good price … "
Yan Fen stared at the man beneath her. She stared at her husband and squeezed out the words through her teeth, "You're shameless!"
"Only a useless' god 'is shameless!"
Zhang Liu 'an pushed his head back. He didn't even care about the wound on his shoulder as he scolded, "Useless, unqualified. Compared to a real church, you're just trash that can't do anything! It's trash like this that has delayed me for so many years! My talent and youth have been ruined by this trash, and I still have to struggle in the cave like a worm. To hell with the cloak, to hell with the loyalty … Ugh! "
His voice suddenly changed tone, mixing with the sound of his throat, skin, fascia, and bones being cut open.
Yan Fen pulled out her knife and slit her husband's throat. The airflow and gurgling blood drained the last bit of Zhang Liu 'an's vitality and ambition. At the same time, she used up the last bit of her strength.
