Chapter 25: Like a God Descending to Earth, He Saved the World from Collapse
From hell to earth, it only took a dozen seconds. Everyone's face still bore the lingering fear and the pallor of someone who had survived a catastrophe.
"That was terrifying! I thought I was going to die. That feeling was absolutely awful!"
"Yes, I thought I was a veteran of Bureau 749, someone who had been through countless battles, and that I could still put up a fight against the supernatural. But now I realize that I was completely wrong."
Having just faced a tidal wave of crimson, it was utterly powerless to resist!
At this moment, another team member said with deep emotion.
"I didn't really understand the idiom 'being at the mercy of others' before, but now I finally do!"
At this moment, another team member clutched his chest, breathing heavily, and said with a pale face.
Just now, it felt like he had been thrown into a raging flood, and he was like an ant struggling in the flood.
No matter how hard he tried, all his efforts as an ant were in vain in the face of the overwhelming and devastating flood.
Although it only lasted a few seconds, the feeling of drowning and being on the verge of death was still so clear.
"We're only near the entrance; we're still quite a distance from that golden box."
What kind of corrosion would one suffer standing next to the box?
Just then, one of the team members spoke in a trembling voice.
His words immediately resonated with everyone.
Yes, they were already standing at the door, more than ten meters away from the golden box, but the great terror they faced was like the waters of the Milky Way flowing backwards!
What about the figure standing at the very front?
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Everyone looked up, their eyes fixed on Su Nan's retreating figure.
The boy was still standing in front of the table, his back to them, his figure slender, the hem of his black and white school uniform still hanging quietly.
At that moment, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of awe.
This young man is simply too amazing.
"powerful!"
Lin Luoxue murmured as if possessed.
too strong!
That's ridiculously strong!!
He was so powerful that she couldn't even feel jealousy; all that remained was a deep-seated admiration and awe.
And on the other side,
The warmth between Su Nan's brows slowly faded, and the third eye gradually disappeared back under her skin, leaving no trace.
Su Nan turned around, her gaze first falling on Lin Luoxue, who was standing there dumbfounded.
Do you still find those external things useful now?
Su Nan's voice was soft and not at all didactic; it was as if he had casually asked about the weather.
"..."
A slight blush appeared on Lin Luoxue's pale face; she was utterly embarrassed.
Thinking back to how she had just opened her arms and held Su Nan back tightly, calling him "senior" repeatedly, and advising him to hold onto his life-saving item and take precautions.
Now she looked at the things scattered all over the ground that the 749 Bureau regarded as their lifeblood—their life-suppressing objects.
The peach wood sword was split in two, and the red string used to string copper coins rotted into fluff.
Those five-emperor coins were rusted like scrap iron;
As for the black donkey hooves, they're no longer shiny black; they're now stinky and rotten, as if they've been soaking in the mud for over a decade.
These life-sustaining objects they depend on are less than a piece of waste paper in the face of true evil.
"Senior, it was me... I was too superficial."
"Only when you are strong enough can you be truly strong."
Su Nan swept over the pile of rubble, his tone remaining flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.
at this time,
The delicate, white, jade-like severed finger suddenly trembled slightly.
This made Su Nan frown.
Immediately afterwards, a melodious and ethereal female voice emanated from the severed finger, unexpectedly entering Su Nan's mind, soft and tinged with hesitation and reluctance.
"Father, do we really have to do this? Do we really have to bring disaster upon those poor mortals?"
Then came a deep, cold male voice, carrying an undeniable authority, crushing the girl's hesitation: "Daughter, don't be soft-hearted. Kindness shouldn't be found in you. Don't forget your identity, forget your mission."
All mortals will die eventually; it's just a matter of sooner or later.
"Father, is there really no other way?"
The girl's voice was pleading.
"no."
The man's voice remained completely calm as he continued, "Daughter, this is the fate of those mortals. They are destined for it. Go, sow the seeds of suffering."
The sound stopped abruptly, and there was no follow-up.
But this simple conversation caused Su Nan's pupils to suddenly contract, shrinking to the size of a pinhole.
His fingers, which were resting on the edge of the table, clenched tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white, and he even paused for a moment.
This was not a natural disaster.
This strange phenomenon sweeping across the world, these deadly evil spirits, are not a natural resurgence at all; they were deliberately released by someone, a premeditated massacre.
But why?
Why?
Su Nan couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand why those high and mighty beings would use such deadly methods against a group of unarmed mortals.
"Young Master Su?"
Luo Shaofeng cautiously approached, and when he saw that Su Nan's expression was off, he immediately lowered his voice to a whisper, afraid of startling Su Nan, "Did... you figure out where this severed finger came from?"
Su Nan looked up and came back to his senses, repeating the conversation he had just heard word by word, without any extra emotion, his tone flat and indifferent.
But each word struck everyone like a thunderclap in the closed room.
"Clang!"
The rotten, lightning-struck wooden sword that Luo Shaofeng was holding crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
He staggered, his face turning deathly pale, and cold sweat soaked through his training uniform on his back.
"Premeditated...this was a setup deliberately orchestrated by someone!"
His voice was trembling, and the temperature of his entire body dropped rapidly, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The coldness was a chill that emanated from his very bones.
They had always believed that the hundreds of strange events they had encountered in the past few years were natural occurrences, a result of natural resurgence.
But now they realize that they are facing a disaster that someone deliberately threw out.
Who were the man and woman who were just having that conversation?
Where did it come from?
Why sow suffering?
Isn't it good to live in a peaceful and prosperous era?
Why do these things behind the scenes?
Over the years, countless families have been torn apart, countless children have become orphans, and countless infants have lost their fathers and the pillars of their families.
"Young Master Su, could you destroy this severed finger and make it disappear completely?"
Luo Shaofeng looked at Su Nan with burning eyes and anticipation.
At this moment, the other members of Bureau 749 also focused their attention on Su Nan.
Since Su Nan could command those strange crimson creatures to go back with just a word, it naturally means that Su Nan has the same strength.
"Yes, this severed finger is an insurmountable barrier for you, something you can't do anything about, but for me, it's just a matter of putting in a little effort."
However, once this severed finger is destroyed, the ominous and eerie energy it contains will explode like a bomb, engulfing the entire Jiangcheng with its crimson energy.
Su Nan does have a way to destroy it now, although he has only obtained 10% of the integrity of the third eye, but that is enough.
The problem is that once the severed finger is destroyed, the crimson, eerie energy inside will lose its vessel and be released completely.
If it were a complete third eye, this problem wouldn't exist; it could easily annihilate the severed finger and the energy it contained.
The problem is, he only has 10% right now!
