Leaving one after the other, to most people this would be normal, but … after Shui Ruo contracted the Isrock Disease, Ling Chen had never left her side. No matter what they did, day and night, he had never been separated from her. Ling Chen viewed Shui Ruo's safety as more important than anything else, and would never allow himself to be too far away from Shui Ruo. Over the years, there had only been one time when Tian Tian had asked for chocolate in the middle of the night, and he had no choice but to get up and go buy it himself … Apart from that time, he had never been more than 10 metres away from Shui Ruo.
And now, they were in the wilderness, and Ling Chen had asked them to leave first. Adding on Ling Chen's unexpected reaction … Shui Ruo felt suffocated, and her heartbeat sped up.
"Ah? Why do you want me and big sister to leave first? Big brother, do you have anything else to say? "Tian Tian asked.
Not far away, the car that had brought them here slowly drove over and stopped by their side. Shui Ruo grabbed Tian Tian's hand and said softly, "Listen to big brother and let's go back first. Big brother definitely has something important to say."
"Oh." Tian Tian was filled with confusion, but she could feel that the atmosphere wasn't quite right. She nodded and looked at the silent Ling Chen as she followed Shui Ruo towards the car door.
"Ruo Ruo, Tian Tian."
Ling Chen suddenly called out to them. He rushed over and stood beside Shui Ruo, looking at her trembling eyes. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. If I'm tired, I'll sleep in the car. Who knows, I might even get home before you guys."
"En." Shui Ruo lightly nodded, her lips slightly pale.
Ling Chen bent down and caressed Tian Tian's face as he said in the most gentle voice possible, "Tian Tian, you have to listen to big sister, okay?"
This was the first time that Ling Chen had touched her face so intimately, but she didn't reject this feeling. She wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "I've always listened to big sister … big brother, you're acting a bit strange right now, and why are you saying such strange things to me?"
"Haha, because I'm afraid that you won't listen to big sister when I'm not here and make her angry." Ling Chen said as he laughed.
"Hmph, I like big sister so much, I won't."
"Alright, I got it. Get in the car." Ling Chen lightly patted Tian Tian's face as he carried her into the car.
Shui Ruo finally stepped into the car. She turned around and looked at Ling Chen. She bit her lips and said softly, "Big brother, you'll definitely … come back safely, right?"
Ling Chen's chest tightened as he laughed, "Haha, what are you talking about? I just want to see a friend by myself; what's there to worry about? Alright, you and Tian Tian should go home first. I won't be away from you for too long. "
After saying this, he made a hand signal, and the car door was closed by the person standing by the side. As he returned to the front passenger seat, Ling Chen said in a very soft voice, "Take them home and be on high alert … I have something important to do here, and I don't want anyone to disturb me. After you go back, protect them day and night. Before I go back, don't let anyone come near to disturb me, and don't contact me. Understood?"
"Yes." Ling Chen replied in a low voice as he opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.
The car started to move. It went further and further away, until it completely disappeared from sight. Ling Chen silently stared in the direction of the car for a long time, his eyes gradually losing focus …
Wait for me at home …
I'll be able to go back soon … I'll definitely go back …
In the car.
Only when Ling Chen could no longer be seen did Shui Ruo turn around and hug Tian Tian tightly.
"Big sister? What's wrong? Are you sleepy … ah? Big sister, your hands are so cold and sweaty … "
When Tian Tian touched Shui Ruo's hands, she was given a big fright by the coldness. Shui Ruo's soft voice sounded in her ears, "It's a bit cold, Tian Tian … let me hug you for a while …"
Shui Ruo's entire body felt cold, and her heartbeat became erratic. This was the first time she and Ling Chen had separated like this, and it was the first time they had met. Currently, her heart was filled with fear and unease that she had felt when she had faced the Isloka Virus …
In the driver's seat, the two people looked at each other, their eyebrows deeply furrowed. In their memories, this was the first time Ling Chen and Shui Ruo had separated like this.
… …
Bang!!
Ling Chen forcefully gripped the phone, causing it to shatter into pieces. He then threw it into the nearby stream. He then took out the keys from his pocket and looked at them before breaking them and throwing them into the distance. He then opened his left hand, revealing a small and sharp fruit knife that was so thin that it could easily break. Then, he took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly became cold. An extremely frightening hazy aura was suddenly released from his body, causing the surrounding air to freeze in an instant.
If the people around him were here, they would definitely tremble with excitement. This was because it had been too many years since he had released such a terrifying aura.
Looking at the forest in front of him, he smirked as he coldly said, "Come out."
As he spoke, the sounds of birds and cicadas all stopped. In that instant, it was as if they had arrived in a completely different world … an incredibly silent, deathly silent world. The originally scorching air had also become incomparably cold. If a person with normal senses were to stand here, they would definitely curl up and shiver as they curled up.
Whoosh — —
In the forest, countless birds and insects flew up in a chaotic manner, frantically scattering in all directions as if they were greatly frightened. At a glance, the sky was covered by dense black dots, and then these black dots gradually became sparser as they flew away, until they completely disappeared. Ling Chen's gaze left the sky and looked in front of him. Just ten steps in front of him, a pitch-black shadow appeared … It was like the shadow of a demon, appearing without a sound.
The surroundings were deathly silent, and even the flow of air seemed to have stopped. That's right, all the birds, insects, and beasts in the surroundings had already fled, and they could no longer hear any other sounds. This kind of scene should only appear in sci-fi movies. Normal people would never believe that all this was caused by one person.
Ling Chen quietly clenched his fists. He stared at the silent black shadow in front of him, as if it did not exist, and said in a low voice, "You … really didn't die."
This person was tall, and wore ordinary night clothes that covered his entire body. On his head, only two eyes that emitted cold light could be seen. He couldn't be more familiar with this pair of eyes.
In this world, there were only two people who could make him feel fear. One was that madman doctor, and the other … was this person in front of him!
The person who should have died, who should have died in his hands!
"You know I'm not dead?" The man in black coldly replied. His voice was hoarse, like the sound of coarse gauze rubbing against each other, incomparably obscure and unpleasant to the ears.
Ling Chen's voice was equally cold. "You once taught me that without seeing the target's corpse, I should never believe that he is dead! Back then, your right hand was blown off because of our scheme. You, who only had one hand left, lost nearly half of your blood in the long battle with us. You were stabbed in three vital points, one of your arms was cut off, your right eye was stabbed blind, and the last blow pierced your heart … An ordinary person would have died more than ten times over. You fell into the sea in the end, and at that time, we also believed that you were dead … However, after so many years, there has always been a terrifying shadow in my heart. Because we couldn't find your corpse back then, and more importantly, because you are … HELL! A monster that the madman called a god among men! I knew that you wouldn't die so easily! "
That's right, back then, his right hand had been blown off, his right eye had been stabbed blind, and his entire right arm had been cut off by Eve … However, this person, he clearly had two eyes! Under the night clothes, there were two arms!!
What was going on!?
However, this was clearly the aura of HELL! Such a terrifying aura, no one in the world could imitate it, and no one had the ability to do so!
"Hehe, hahahaha." The man in black laughed in a low voice. His voice was even more unpleasant and terrifying than the howling of a devil. "As expected of the strongest killing machine I've cultivated, and as expected of someone who could even break free from the mental control of a madman. You can actually remain so calm when you see me again. To be honest, I really don't want to see you trembling in fear. How can someone who can kill me be a useless piece of trash? I'm very satisfied with this, Adam! "
"I'm called Ling Chen, the Adam that you know is already dead!" Ling Chen said coldly.
"Ling Chen? Heh … "the man in black laughed coldly," What you disappoint me the most is that you've already started to become a mortal, and are no longer the 'Reaper' that I've painstakingly raised. You've abandoned 'Adam', and now have a mortal name and feelings! There's indeed no need for you to remain in this world. "
"Hmph, don't waste any more words. Since you're here, then between us, only one of us can live past today. Let's get this over with, I'm in a hurry to go home. "Ling Chen said coldly, at the same time, he slowly held the blade between his fingers.
"That's right, between us, only one of us can live past today. But do you think it's you, or me? "
Ling Chen: "…"
Cold sweat had already covered Ling Chen's forehead.
"I've taught you before, as long as you can achieve your goal of killing, you can use any means possible. You and Eve did this very well back then. First, you used explosives to break my hand, and then fought with your life on the line so that I couldn't stop the bleeding. In the end, I lost too much blood, and my consciousness and physical strength were greatly weakened. Although it was despicable, you guys did almost succeed. When I fell into the sea, even I thought that I was dead for sure … But unfortunately, I still came back in the end. Not only did I come back, but my eyes are sharper than before, my strength is more violent than before, and my body is hundreds of times harder than steel. "
The man in black slowly raised his arm that was wrapped in a black cloth, opened his fingers, and pointed at Ling Chen. "And after six years, whether it's your body or strength, not only did you not improve at all, but you even regressed. I'm really disappointed. But even if you were ten times stronger, you wouldn't be able to live past today. Now, it's time for me to settle the score. "
Ling Chen knew that he wasn't exaggerating at all. The man in black's strength and aura were at least two to three times stronger than when he was at his peak.
And he had been accompanying Shui Ruo for the past six years, and hadn't been stained with blood. Whether it was his killing intent, strength, or physical strength, they were all slowly regressing …
