Chapter 31: Choosing the Wrong Path
In the huge room where Qi Gao was sacrificial, there were three people standing, and two of the researchers in white coats looked at Qi Gao nervously.
At this time, Qi Gao's face was hideous, his mouth kept emitting a beast-like roar, his right hand, holding a huge oracle, was constantly waving, and in his left eye, blood kept flowing out like flowing water.
The barrier that bound Qi Gao had been loosened, and the ripples of divine power continued to vibrate around him, and the huge force caused the entire room to begin to shake.
"He's out of control! If it goes on like this......" said one of the researchers, with a gloomy face.
But before he could finish speaking, Shi Tu immediately interrupted him.
"Strengthen the enchantment."
"The formation and the enchantment are one, and if the enchantment is strengthened, the power of the formation will be weakened. We are peeping at the power of God, and if discovered, no one knows what the consequences will be. The other replied.
Shi Tu frowned and looked at Qi Gao unwillingly.
"It must be stopped immediately, if this continues, not only will he die, but we will also be in danger." The researcher said helplessly.
"Is that acceptable to you? The source of the power of sacrifice may come from the true God, and now we may be able to get a glimpse of the true face of the true God. Shi said with a calm face.
"We've drawn too much power to be worth the risk." One said.
"We've always been on a tightrope." Shi Apostle said.
"Apostle! We are curious about the existence of God, but let's not forget our real mission. One of them shouted at the almsgivists.
"Has the plan to reach the true God through sacrifice have failed?" Shi Tu asked.
"It's just a whim on your part."
"And what about his sacrifice?"
"Give it up."
"I've promised him."
"Not because of you? The sacrifice was difficult, but with the boy's original foundation, it was easy to succeed. ”
"It doesn't matter, since it's already started, there's no reason to stop." Shi Tu smiled, "Untie the enchantment, maintain the formation with all your might, and open the confinement." ”
"But in his current state, if he unlocks the enchantment, once the confinement fails, the entire room will be destroyed." One of the researchers reminded.
"It's okay."
Suddenly, the barrier that restricted Qi Gao was lifted, and Qi Gao jumped up violently, waving a huge oracle with both hands.
However, the chain that appeared out of thin air locked Qi Gao, and the chain tightly strangled into Qi Gao's muscles, and even made a "click" sound, as if even Qi Gao's bones were about to be broken.
"It's amazing power." One sighed.
"The divine power of sacrifice is still entering his body, and if it continues like this, he will burst out." The other worried.
"The rampage is only temporary, and after stabilization, the excess divine power will disappear." Shi Tu said.
"Divine power does not flow backwards."
"We can collect the evaporated divine power."
Qi Gao, who had already fallen into madness, kept struggling, and his red pupils had no other feelings other than destruction. Suddenly, the chains broke, and they forgot that Qi Gao's oracle had the "sharpness" that could cut almost everything.
At this moment, one of the white-jacketed researchers pulled out a small pistol and fired a shot at Qi Gao.
The bullet hit Qi Gao in the chest, but Qi Gao had no other reaction except for a physical shock.
"The anesthetic on the bullet is enough to make an adult humpback whale unconscious for three days and three nights! Even if you are a god worshipper, you have to get dizzy for a while. But he? …… The only way to stop him is to use tougher means. The white-coat researcher said helplessly.
"Then he will be crippled if he is not dead." Shi Tu shook his head and vetoed the plan, "Let's go, get out of here." ”
"If you leave it alone, he'll destroy the whole room."
"Our mission in Nanyuan City is almost over, and the value of the existence of this room is not great, and if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed." Shi Tu walked out of the room first.
The two researchers took a deep look at Qi Gao in a frenzy, and followed him out of the room.
"Put on some nice music for him, and it will be my last gift to him."
The two researchers glanced at each other, knowing that Shi Tu had given up on Qi Gao, stopped talking, and left one after another.
"Hope you're lucky." Shi Tu said thoughtfully.
……
Late at night, inside an abandoned building in Namwon City.
The ground was covered with dust, the walls were full of cracks, and there were countless cobwebs on the head.
It's a dirty and dilapidated place, and no one wants to stay here for long. However, there is also something more beautiful than anywhere else in the city, and that is the clear and beautiful sound of insects all around.
"It's been a long time since I've heard such a nice sound." Liu Haitao, whose hands were tied to a stone pillar, said.
“…… It's not worth mentioning compared to my hometown. Next to him was Yang Huacheng sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"I heard you dropped out of high school?"
"Hmm."
"We have a good fate, and I also dropped out of high school." Liu Haitao said with a smile.
"Is it fate to die in my hands?" Yang Huacheng asked.
"There is no such thing as fate, which is good or bad."
“……”
"Do you think Chen Mengyuan will come?"
"Yes."
"I don't think so."
"Obviously you don't know her well enough."
"You're wrong, you've only met her a few times? How many times have you spoken? I, every once in a while, I can meet her in the evening, say a word or two, and sometimes go to the bar for a drink or two, who do you say knows Chen Mengyuan better? ”
"Proximity does not mean understanding." Yang Huacheng retorted.
"At least I know that she is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals, and she will never put herself in a desperate situation for anyone, even if it is in the face of me who saved her." When he said this, Liu Haitao did not show his disgust for Chen Mengyuan, on the contrary, there was a faint longing.
"She won't put herself in a desperate situation, but she won't let herself regret it, she is not weak, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will try her best."
"I think it might be more effective for you to catch her little henchman."
"You want to die?"
"How is that possible!"
"Then you should pray that she will come and kill me."
Yang Huacheng's expression was very flat when he spoke, as if he didn't care about the victory or defeat between him and Chen Mengyuan.
"Because all of a sudden I don't want you dead."
“…… You're weird. ”
"I think so too, don't you...... Is this called long-term love? Ha ha...... Haha......"
Suddenly, Liu Haitao burst into laughter until a violent cough interrupted him.
"If you want to live longer, don't get so excited."
Yang Huacheng flicked the tube inserted in Liu Haitao's wrist with his fingers, one end of the tube was inserted into Liu Haitao's veins, and the other end, in the distance, had already flowed out of a pool of blood.
This tube is used for bloodletting.
Because it is impossible for Yang Huacheng to maintain his transformation and look at Liu Haitao all the time, if Liu Haitao suddenly transforms behind him and attacks him, it will be miserable.
Therefore, with this bloodletting tube, this tube will make Liu Haitao weaker and weaker, so weak that he has no strength to transform, and after a while, if the tube has not been pulled out and continues to bleed, then Liu Haitao may die.
Suddenly, Yang Huacheng stood up.
"She's coming?" Liu Haitao sighed, stopped talking, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Chen Mengyuan has already come to save him, although he is worried about Chen Mengyuan, but the joy in his heart still can't be hidden, but if he dies of excessive blood loss before Chen Mengyuan successfully rescues him, it is not worth it.
Yang Huacheng walked down the stairs and looked at Chen Mengyuan who walked in from the mouth.
"You're still so strong and beautiful." Yang Huacheng said in a low voice.
Chen Mengyuan looked at Yang Huacheng, Yang Huacheng looked really depressed at this time, the clothes on his upper body were not so much a shirt as a strip of cloth, the pants were almost nothing, and he was still dirty, like a little beggar.
"Is it so difficult to change clothes and take a shower?"
Chen Mengyuan could see that Yang Huacheng was still wearing last night's clothes.
“…… Where's your sidekick? ”
"And then there."
"Then you go down there and wait for him!"
The spear appeared, the wind rolled up, and Yang Huacheng stepped on the wind and rushed forward unstoppably.
The Oracle Sealing Demon Sword appeared, and a dangerous light flashed on the sword, Chen Mengyuan sneered and greeted it without fear.
……
"Why? It shouldn't be like this. ”
In the dark sky, raindrops fell, falling on Qi Gao, on the ruins, and on the corpses around him.
Qi Shoushou held the oracle in his hand and stood alone in the rain, looking at the sky with empty eyes, and he didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face.
Qi Gao's body was stained with blood, and around him, there were broken human bodies.
In front of Qi Gao, who has an oracle that can cut almost everything, civilians without guns are absolutely unable to compete with him.
Qi Gao dragged his tired body and walked towards the darkness, the blood around him had been washed away by the rain, but the filth of his soul was not so easy to clean.
"They're not wrong, I'm not wrong, so who is wrong?" Qi Gao whispered.
In front of me, it seems that I can still see the figures who are desperate to move forward, the front one falls, and the one behind rushes up. On his face, he clearly showed a scared expression, but in order to protect his wife and children behind him, and to protect his partners, he still mustered up courage.
How great, how heroic, so moved that Qi Gao was about to cry.
If, if it wasn't him they wanted to kill.
If, if the devil in their eyes is not him.
If, if he hadn't held the oracle.
"Is all this just a dream?"
Yes, it's all just a dream, what happened, it's all fake, if it's reality, it must not, it must not, it must not...... Is it happening?
Qi Gao sat on top of the wreckage of the tall building, looking down at his surroundings.
Screaming, fearing, roaring, fearing, begging for mercy, crying, affection, friendship, love.
The greatness and darkness of humanity were destroyed under his hands.
That, the one who pushed away his brother and was cut into two pieces himself.
That, the one who covered his son with his body.
The one who accuses him with righteous words.
The one, the one who cursed him with a smile.
They tried, they struggled, they had hope, but the outcome did not change.
"Because, they are weak."
A man wearing a black cloak who couldn't see his face clearly came to Qi Gao.
Qi Gao looked at the person who suddenly appeared with empty eyes, he should have been surprised, but his face was expressionless.
"The devil in their mouths is me." The person who came lifted the hat on his head, revealing that delicate face, he actually looked exactly like Qi Gao.
Qi Gao had already understood that all this was just a trial, so he was not surprised that the person who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him.
"Good people, treat me like a demon, bad people, worship me as a god." Qi Gao closed his eyes, as if the past reappeared, "The relatives and friends I was supposed to protect died under my hands one after another, isn't it ironic?" ”
"Because they want to hurt you."
"Is that okay? Such, excuses? Qi Gao clenched his fists, his voice trembled, and the infinite anger suppressed in his heart.
"That's the weak."
Weakling? Haha, weakling? Even if it's a friend, even if it's a relative, as long as it's weak, can you ignore it? Can you see them as ants?
Qi Gao still seemed to refute, but every time the words came to his mouth, he couldn't spit them out.
Who am I to scold him? Isn't what I just did just like what he said? As long as you hurt yourself, no matter who it is, you will not hesitate to wave the oracle.
“…… I have to go. ”
Qi Gao got up and walked in one direction, his eyes slowly becoming firm from the original hollow.
"Do you want to turn your back on the path you have chosen?" Behind him, there was a questioning voice.
"Since you chose the wrong one, isn't it natural to take another path?"
"It's useless, there is only one path for those who worship God, since you have chosen, you can't go back, this is the only direction you can go forward, there is no fork in the road."
"I still have people to save, and people are waiting for me." Qi Gao did not waver, but continued to move forward firmly.
"......" The visitor looked at Qi Gao's back for a long time, and finally sighed unpleasantly, and said, "We will meet again, and then you will pray to me to give you light." ”
"Your light is not for me, but...... Thank you very much. ”
With one step, Qi Gao's figure disappeared from this barren world.
