269 Chapter 269
"You'd better stop provoking me, old man. I know what you want to do, but I'm going to punch you in the head before you detonate those bombs and I'm eager to do that......"
Reddeer whispered coldly to Redbeard.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The old man coughed a few times, his breathing was a little rapid, but it wasn't out of fear, in fact, he was particularly dismissive of Red Deer's warning.
Even though the latter had already left three hot wounds on his head, Redbeard didn't even change his expression.
"My death is nothing ......"
Redbeard muttered.
"Even the one you claim to be the culprit, the little fool named Joshua, is nothing. It has nothing to do with that guy. If Calvin could control his dark side, that clumsy clone wouldn't be able to do anything. That guy is a mirror image of Calvin, and everything he does is Calvin's own desires. β
Redbeard seemed to be completely oblivious to the gun in Reddeer's hand, and he quickly calmed down after a brief emotional runaway.
He met Calvin's eyes.
Then he gave a particularly terrifying, distorted smile.
He made his own judgment.
"Calvin, you must die. I'm sorry, but I have to. β
Redbeard held out his hand towards Calvin, and the detonator was held in his palm.
"I have to save the world......"
What is certain is that Redbeard did intend to die in the explosion along with Calvin and the red deer.
As he stretched out his hand, he moved his footsteps slightly, ostensibly adjusting his center of gravity, but with Calvin's now acute senses, he had no trouble hearing the small mechanical sound of a real detonator at the heel of Redbeard's shoe.
Redbeard seemed to be intending to get closer to Calvin - he reserved a few seconds to trap Calvin while all his attention was on the fake detonator in his palm. His plan was perfect, and if all went well, in a few seconds he would be shattered with Calvin in a violent explosion.
But Calvin wasn't going to let Redbeard do that.
He winked at Redbeard.
Click...... Click......
Redbeard let out a muffled whisper in his throat.
In fact, he was ready, he was already waiting for the heat and pain to come.
However, the scheduled explosion turned out to be far away.
All the plans fell through at the very beginning.
Redbeard was surprised to realize that he couldn't feel his limbs anymore. An unusually cold, unusually pure power exploded in Calvin's veins the moment he lowered his eyes.
He could hear his wrists and ankles freezing rapidly inch by inch.
And his feet remained in a very subtle motion, just a little bit away - just a little bit before he could detonate the bombs on his body.
But he couldn't move.
He was like a bug that had accidentally fallen into amber, unable to move no matter how much he struggled.
"You...... You're ...... me What did you do......"
Redbeard's heart sank in an instant.
He finally understood one thing, from the very beginning - he had no way to threaten Calvin in the first place.
"At first, I just wanted to know the truth. But now it seems that the truth is not a particularly important thing, is it?"
Calvin whispered palely.
He stared into Redbeard's eyes, his expression unreal and detached.
"I know you're secretly setting off the bomb, but ......"
Red Deer had already put down his gun, and he walked up to Calvin's side step by step.
But Calvin continued to speak to himself as if he had not seen him.
"I want to say, useless. Even if you kill me, Joshua will do everything for me. Like you said, he's my half, my mirror image, my emotional outlet. He's a poor kid, but we have to admit that he has what I can and what madness I don't. If there is anyone in this world who will rejoice at the end of the world, it is him. Joshua really wanted to send everyone to hell altogether, and he ...... He had despaired of the world. β
"He depends on your abilities......"
"After my death, all the power will surely flow over him. As he spoke, Calvin smiled strangely and coldly, "His appearance was not accidental, but predestined. β
Calvin said, surprised that he had only figured it out at this moment.
ββ¦β¦ Whether it's me or him, there's always someone who's going to do it all. β
"The only way to end this apocalypse is to destroy me and him at the same time, but this is ......"
Calvin didn't have time to finish that sentence.
Because Redbeard bites the spare detonator that he has been holding in his mouth in front of him.
No one knows how Redbeard came up with this, perhaps because he had already realized that he would be controlled by Calvin, or perhaps he was just habitually fully prepared to kill Calvin.
All in all, he did it anyway.
A dazzling, blinding white light tore through Calvin and the red deer's eyes, followed by a violent heat and roar.
"Boomβ"
For a brief moment, the former bar was instantly reduced to smashing and flying brick shards in the smoke and heat.
The thick smoke and blood-red fire were particularly dazzling even on a night like this.
"Crunchβ"
However, not long after the explosion, about two or three hundred meters away from the bar, which had been blown up, an old red tin door naturally appeared on a section of the wall that had not been affected by the bomb.
The door was squarely embedded in the very center of the mottled and intricate street graffiti, and it looked like an ulcer that had finally been torn open on the skin of a swollen corpse.
Redstag calmly grasped the doorknob, pushed it open, and turned sideways to allow Calvin to walk out of the narrow door.
The young angel walked silently down the sewage-ridden alleyway until he reached the bar, which was blazing with fire and burning again.
The heat ruffled up the cold air around the bar, and the black charred debris was swept high into the air by the air current, reflecting the bright red firelight, which looked like a flock of black butterflies.
ββ¦β¦ But it's hard to kill me or Joshua at the same time. You're right, your father should have listened to you in the first place. You should have killed me when I was a child. β
Calvin stared at everything in front of him, and he muttered the last sentence he hadn't finished.
"I Should Have Known ......"
Redbeard is not the kind of person who will sit still.
As long as he made up his mind, no matter what happened in the end, he would always try to kill Calvin - no matter what Calvin explained to him, and no matter if it would get to that point.
If Calvin was just an ordinary person, he would probably have turned into worthless fragments under countless ruins just like Redbeard now.
But he, and the red deer, are not ordinary humans after all.
At the moment when Redbeard detonated the bomb, Reddeer grabbed Calvin and fell backwards - the door that suddenly appeared in the void perfectly isolated the heat and fire from the explosion out of space.
The world inside the door was as cold, twisted, and eerie as ever.
This made the other side of the door that had burst out with a dazzling light from the explosion so bright.
To this day, Calvin's retina still has a few black spots left, which are caused by the blinding white light of the explosion he saw inside the door.
This was also the only negative impact that the explosion had on Calvin.
Thinking of this, Calvin stared down thoughtfully at his hands, his skin glowing hazy in the darkness brought by the night.
The transformation of his body by "power" began a long time ago, and of course, the mental change was also the same.
Calvin himself could feel that little by little he was breaking free from the shackles of human emotions and transforming into a colder, more powerful and colder being.
He was sure that by now, ordinary weapons would no longer be able to hurt him.
He was even pretty sure that even if he really let Redbeard detonate those bombs directly today, his body probably wouldn't suffer any fatal damage - more likely, he would completely shed the fragile flesh and blood of the human and transform into a more efficient and advanced being.
All his pains, struggles, and troubles will be washed away in their entirety in this transformation.
But can he really be considered a human being like that?
But even this fear and pervasiveness may have become an emotion to cherish for him.
Calvin felt a powerful sense of fatalism that was helpless.
He really has no intention of destroying everything, but in fact, no matter what choice he makes, he will eventually be the initiator of the end times.
This is called ...... Destiny.
"Calvin. β
Red Deer suddenly spoke beside Calvin.
Calvin tilted his head, only to realize that Red Deer had been watching over him.
Against the pair of deep emerald green eyes, Calvin finally had a vague sense of reality.
"Do we need to go to the pharmacy?"
Red Deer didn't seem to realize what Calvin was doing at this moment.
He gazed softly at the pale Calvin and said.
"Pharmacy ......"
"Isaac. "You told those two fools that you would bring them some medicine. β
Calvin was slightly stunned.
Obviously, the goodbye to Joyce and Han was not long ago, why did he feel that scene was so far away when Honglu brought it up.
