Chapter 22: Injustice Forged
Jiang Yao watched in amazement as Xiao Yuan spit out the bead, and the bead emitting a strange white light didn't stay in mid-air for long, and then suddenly flew towards the unconscious Ah Li's abdomen, disappearing in her thin body.
A faint halo gradually enveloped Ah Li's body, and after the beads entered Ah Li's body, her pale face seemed to improve slightly, and her breathing began to stabilize, while Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, seemed to be much weaker all of a sudden, and even her body was unstable
"Hmm......"
Xiao Yuan staggered and almost fell, and the thick smoke and flames that eroded from the surroundings also broke through the direction of the black fog at this time, and besieged the two of them.
"It's not close...... Hold on a little longer......"
Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, he used all his strength to pick up Ah Li, who had fallen to the ground, and looked at the fire around him, and then, something shocked Jiang Yao appeared.
I saw a pair of huge gray wings suddenly break through Xiao Yuan's white clothes and drill out from behind him, in the raging fire, Jiang Yao could only watch in amazement as the transformed Xiao Yuan hugged Ah Li, broke through the window door on the roof, and galloped towards the sky.
The firelight slowly faded, and the scene in front of me gradually dispersed like a mist, and when it reunited, it had turned into a pure white, which was the scene of a hospital room.
Jiang Yao stood quietly at the door of the ward, this time he didn't do anything superfluous, just silently watched the gradually clear scene in front of him, waiting for the upcoming story.
It's still Xiao Yuan, it's still Ah Li, but at this time, Ah Li is already full of medical catheters and is motionless.
In the scene, Xiao Yuan has cut off his long hair, and he looks closer to the image that Jiang Yao knows, but in the eyes of the other party, only Ah Li is dying on the hospital bed, and the worry in his pupils is getting thicker.
"Three years...... The Neidan I gave you can only last for a short period of three years...... Ahri, what should I do? How can I save you......"
Xiao Yuan muttered to himself softly, but did not get any answer, surrounded by busy medical staff, he could only watch as the value representing the heartbeat on the life instrument became smaller and smaller, until it reached zero......
……
The scene dissipated and reunited like a fog, and Xiao Yuan, who reappeared, sat decadently on the edge of the hospital bed, burying his head between his arms, and Ah Li's face on the hospital bed was covered with a white cloth.
"I'm sorry...... Whining...... I'm sorry...... I'm still ...... Can't save you......"
Xiao Yuan's shoulders trembled slightly, and his voice was choppy. Jiang Yao walked to Xiao Yuan's side and looked at Xiao Yuan who was in pain, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only watch all this quietly as a bystander.
"Do you want to save her?"
A deep voice echoed in the cold ward, Jiang Yao raised his head in surprise, and suddenly found a strange black shadow appeared in front of him at some point.
Who?!
Jiang Yao looked at the hazy figure in front of him, trying to identify the appearance of the other party, but he couldn't see it clearly, but the aura exuded by the person in front of him made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
"You...... Who is ......" Xiao Yuan raised his head as if he was dead, looking at the uninvited guest in front of him, without any expression on his face.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's important that I can help you. The black shadow said meaningfully, taking out an object that emitted a faint golden light from his arms, and Xiao Yuan's face changed suddenly the moment he saw the object!
"This—This is ...... 'Soul Stone'!?"
"Yes, with the help of the power of this 'Soul Suppression Stone', I can cast a spell to make her 'immortal'. The black shadow ignored Xiao Yuan's shock and continued. "It's just that you need to pay a price, are you willing?"
"As long as I can save her, I'm willing to pay any price!" Xiao Yuan stood up suddenly, his body trembling slightly.
"Well, that's what you said. The black shadow said, and then spread out his palm, his mouth vibrated with words, and the object in his palm gradually became golden in the spell, and extended the golden chain, instantly rushing into the chest of Xiao Yuan and Ah Li's corpses.
"Hmm...... Hmm, ah——!!" Xiao Yuan's face turned pale in an instant, as if a force was constantly tearing at his soul, bringing unspeakable great pain. Jiang Yao's face changed greatly when he saw this, and he tried in vain to support Xiao Yuan, but his hands penetrated the other party's body, like fishing for the moon in water, without the slightest effect.
Gradually, Xiao Yuan's consciousness began to be in a trance, and he turned his head with all his strength to look at the girl lying quietly on the hospital bed.
The white cloth on Ali's face had been blown away, and there was still no anger on her pale face, but with the surge of golden light, Ali's originally closed eyes seemed to tremble faintly.
"Ah...... Glass ......"
Xiao Yuan trembled and stretched out his hand in the direction of the girl, and in the last moment before losing consciousness, he finally saw the girl's eyes that suddenly opened.
It was a pair of bloody eyes that were like a ghost version of the hollow and godless.
"Bang ——!"
The golden light finally dissipated, and Xiao Yuan fell heavily to the ground, motionless.
"Half of the souls in exchange for a puppet, is that your choice?" said the Dark Shadow, seemingly sighing. He put away the golden object in his hand and raised his hand at the fallen Xiao Yuan, only to see three points of light float out from Xiao Yuan's chest, fall into the palm of the black shadow, and then disappear.
"Poor child, there are so many sinful souls roaming the world, and it is you innocent......s who suffer," said the shadow, turning to look at "A-Li" who had sat up from the bed, and the latter had a blank look in his eyes.
"Are you unwilling? resentful? Very good...... I give you a chance for revenge, and the Nedan he gives you is your weapon. ”
The black shadow said, stretched out his hand and pointed to Ah Li's abdomen, only to see a flash of white light in Ah Li's abdomen, and then a white air flow gathered out from Ah Li's palm, lingering around his body like a meteor.
White light...... It turned out that the murderous white light used by Ah Li was from Xiao Yuan?
Jiang Yao looked at everything in front of him, his brain was in chaos, and at this moment, something even more chaotic happened to him.
I saw that Xiao Yuan's appearance on the ground began to change, his originally white and almost transparent skin began to be replaced by dense gray feathers, his delicate and gentle face became an ugly anomaly, with a sharp beak and steel hook-like claws, Xiao Yuan, who had lost his human form, finally revealed his original appearance in front of Jiang Yao.
"Corpse dove".
The bird demon who almost killed him in the villa in the West District, the demon who was injured and lost a claw by him out of control, and the corpse dove who was dying on the ground and was finally killed by the deadly white light is Xiao Yuan, a relative and friend that Jiang Yao has been unable to find.
The corpse dove is ...... Xiao Yuan?!No, no!This can't be——!!
"Boom", Jiang Yao's mind went blank, and he could only watch blankly as the corpse dove that showed its original form slowly got up under the control of the black shadow, and surrendered to the feet of the black shadow with Ah Li like a puppet that had lost its senses, and the black shadow nodded with satisfaction and opened his mouth indifferently:
"If you want to maintain the operation of Soul Binding, you need more blood sacrifices, so go hunt for me...... All this is for your revenge, but also for my plan. ”
No...... Don't go ......! Xiao Yuan...... Xiao Yuan......!!
"Brother Xiao Yuan is dead, you killed him. ”
The cold words sounded coldly from behind him, Jiang Yao turned his head suddenly, but saw that in the chaos, a baby-headed girl with a yellow face and thin muscles was standing behind him, staring at him expressionlessly.
Ali!?
Jiang Yao was shocked, and quickly turned his head to look back at the scene, and saw that the scene had slowly yellowed and gradually dissipated.
"If it weren't for you that night in the villa, Brother Xiao Yuan wouldn't have been implicated, it was you...... It's all because of you that he will die......" The girl said resentfully, raising her hand at Jiang Yao.
"I want you to pay for Brother Xiao Yuan's life!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yao suddenly found that the chaotic darkness under his feet had become muddy like a swamp, and one by one black hands rose densely from the ground, scrambling to cling to his body like a shadow, tearing and dragging him down.
Let go, let go of me!
The memories of the fault slowly connected, Jiang Yao remembered his "bait mission", remembered the picture before he lost consciousness after being hit, he struggled, and the sea of power in his body that had been calm for a long time also rippled under a series of mental stimulation, as the ripples continued to expand, the surroundings of the chaos began to turbulent violently, and then like glass, shattered.
"Boom—"
The sound of water in his ears was deafening, Jiang Yao suddenly woke up, but he was shocked to find a burst of water vapor accompanied by a sense of weightlessness, and he suddenly found that his body was falling sharply at this time!
Jiang Yao, who had been cushioned, stared at his reddened eyes, and his desire to survive made him subconsciously drive the energy veins in his body, only to see his hands flash with purple light, and then turned his hands into claws and grabbed fiercely at the hard rock wall.
"Boom la la ......"
The fallen gravel rolled down, and five long paw prints appeared on the rock wall, and Jiang Yao's five fingers wrapped in purple light were inserted into the rock wall like a steel knife, and Jiang Yao took the opportunity to finally stabilize his body. Jiang Yao, who was relieved, looked down and suddenly gasped!
I saw that he was hanging on a rock wall at this time, and the sound of the dam water boiling under him, if he was half a beat slower, he was afraid that he would be swallowed up by the torrent of the flood in an instant, and there would be no place to bury him.
"You can't escape. ”
The immature voice came faintly again from the top of his head, and Jiang Yao gritted his teeth and raised his head, facing a pair of eyes full of resentment.
"I hate you...... I hate you for taking away my brother Xiao Yuan......"
"Ah Li", who was suspended in the air, stared at Jiang Yao below with empty eyes, and there was an abnormal green and yellow on her stiff face, Jiang Yao could even see her rotten body that could not be concealed under her shabby dress.
"Die...... For my brother Xiao Yuan...... Die!"
"Bang!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yao hurriedly dodged, but he couldn't dodge the blow, but he didn't want the white light to hit the stone wall where Jiang Yao was clinging, and suddenly the broken stone and Jiang Yao, who had lost his support, fell straight into the rushing torrent below.
