Chapter Ninety-Seven: Prophecy of the End Times
Weak and deep despair frantically grabbed the heart, almost for the first time, Li Xinyi shook her head desperately, tears welled up, as if hoping to get rid of the inevitable tragic ending in this way, but she couldn't think of any hope, choked up until she couldn't speak intermittently:
"But...... It's not everything...... Final...... Is it inevitable to end up......"
"That's the difference between life and death. What exactly is life? Those who are mediocre, ignorant and at a loss for what fate drives will never understand. In my opinion, more worthy of respect than them are the green bamboos that stand proudly in the harsh winter, the weeds that grow hard in the crevices of the stones, and the silent cacti in the desert scorched by the scorching sun. The true meaning of life lies in the struggle, in the desire to never give in, in the desire and attempt to control one's own destiny. ”
Li Jie raised his head and looked at the fiery red that was burning and radiating light and heat above his head.
This is what it means for us to nurture our souls and think about them. I don't deny that the vast majority of lives end up failing. But what I am giving you now is the possibility of getting rid of the shackles of fate and transcending the sinking of all things. There may be hardships, long years, endless blood, and many tests, and if you don't have an unshakable determination, then you don't deserve this possibility. ”
Li Xinyi's whole person fell into a state of madness, like a statue standing in the wind, letting her tears dry, and finally waking up after I don't know how long it took to ask:
"That's what you're after, isn't it?"
Li Jie nodded.
"Then I am willing to accompany you on this path."
Li Xinyi said this softly, without a high tone, but Li Jie clearly sensed her pure and unquestionable belief at the moment.
For the girl's answer. He was somewhat unexpected. But at the same time, she was sure that she was ready.
His fingers lightly touched Li Xinyi's forehead. The delicate and strange blood-colored lines of the Dao faintly grew from under the skin, Li Xinyi was shocked, but she closed her eyes tightly, gritted her teeth and did not make any sound, only her trembling body exposed the pain she was suffering at this time......

San Jose Business District, Santa Clara Valley, California.
"Bang!"
There was a violent sound of glass shattering, and the two arrogant thugs who covered their faces with black cloths and only showed their eyes completely ignored the warnings of the security guards. With his bare hands, he smashed open the hard tempered glass on the outer layer of the jewelry cabinet, grabbed boxes of neatly arranged expensive jewelry, and dumped them into his pockets.
The glittering jewels slid down the worn pockets, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
"Hey! Stop it! Say about you! I...... I'm going to shoot! ”
The uniformed security guard with a shotgun trembling leaned over, seeing that his warning had no effect at all, these arrogant gangsters still did the same, gritted their teeth and pulled the trigger, and shot at the leg of one of the robbers with a loud bang, but what surprised him happened, the dense projectiles obviously hit most of them. Even the ground is broken through many tiny holes.
Only the robber who was shot did not react, and the imaginary screams and blood did not appear.
The two robbers scavenged most of their targets at breakneck speed. Then one of them rushed to the stunned security guard, punched him more than ten meters away, and fell behind the counter in a state of confusion and unconscious.
"That's what meddling ends!"
The masked man shouted angrily, and when he saw that no one dared to stand up again, he laughed and walked out with a swagger, and the whole process took no more than two minutes. Behind him were the piercing alarm bells, and the squirrels of customers and clerks who were trembling and clutching their heads and didn't dare to stand up......
――――――――――
Detroit Police Department, Michigan.
Two terrifying giants were rampage through the police station, and the sound of those ping-pong gunshots brought countless bullets flying, but there was nothing they could do, and the police officers in uniform, civilian clothes or even body armor were knocked away by terrible brute force one after another, showing the spectacle of flesh flying in mid-air.
The brutal giant roared loudly and violently, smashing the desk, doors and windows, staggering, and the scene was chaotic.
"Damn it! These monsters are not afraid of bullets at all! ”
"Oh! My ribs are broken! Come and help me......"
"Support needed! Support needed! Call the Guards! ”
"Where did they go?"
"Looks like going downstairs!"
After the two arrogant giants wreaked havoc, they walked through the most densely populated office area of the police officers, went straight downstairs, and soon turned into a makeshift detention cell.
"Wooha! You're finally here, get me out of here! ”
A black man with curly and dyed hair rose unkempt from the ground and shouted excitedly.
The sturdy steel railing was broken one after another under the terrifying power of the two giants, and soon a gap was revealed, allowing the black man to easily get out.
"Yes, give me one, I'm going to teach that guy a good lesson! Let them understand that Doham is not to be messed with! ”
"Here you go, don't waste time!"
"Alright, alright, get up there!"
Just had time to emerge, the police officers who wanted to rearrange soon saw them rushing up again, and fell into a helpless circle again, as if they were holding toy guns in their hands, and after a rain of bullets, there was still nothing they could do, and they watched a few people laugh and leave, but once again left more mourning everywhere.
The entire police station is like a disaster area swept by a hurricane, a mess and dust billowing from it.
"These damn bootleggers!! I'm going to take drugs next time! ”

New York, Times Square 42nd Street subway station.
"This is an NBC special broadcast, and there were two more superhero robberies in the city yesterday, but fortunately there were no casualties...... The police warn the public that if they encounter an irresistible situation, try not to clash head-on, and call the police in time to wait for rescue......"
"It is a great sadness and dereliction of duty that the police are still helpless and inactive in the face of today's rising crime rate of superpowers! The federal government should take strong measures to control it as soon as possible, and the general public should no longer be allowed to face these vicious gangsters at any time! ”
"Jehovah's Witnesses, a religious group, once again emphasize that the end of the world, despite its repeated postponements, is inevitable and that supernatural terrorist attacks are just one manifestation of the real end of the world in 2018......
"There are more and more groups protesting in front of the Capitol, and the artificial genome bill has once again been submitted to the parliament for consideration......
"The federal government appeals to the general public, please do not listen to rumors, there is no indication that the end of the world is coming, and there is no need to rush and hoard daily necessities, at present, the country's important production and living materials are in sufficient stock, and the US government has the confidence and ability to ensure a good living environment for its citizens......
"The NYPD has successfully locked up three suspects in the Madang Street Super Sabotage Case, and officially issued a nationwide wanted warrant, please contact the police if you see or can provide clues related to the above wanted criminals, and pay attention to protect your own safety, the hotline is ......"
Deborah? Clark tightened the bag she was carrying, her long blond hair wavy down her ears and a pair of beautiful blue pupils, and she walked into the subway car to the sound of the TV news overhead, her mood was not affected by the seemingly horrific images and news. However, the words of the surrounding passengers who watched the TV news and talked about the superpower's crimes were very clear in their ears.
It's the weekend, and Deborah has just finished his weekly initiation ceremony and is on his way home from the denomination building.
Yes, Deborah is a devout Enlightenment believer, almost one of the first believers to participate in denominational activities, and the 23-year-old is actually an employee of an advertising agency, but she has successfully passed the denomination's test and officially became a naturalized monk. Of course, as a newcomer, she was still in the process of learning from the full-time clergy, but it was enough to make Deborah excited and her companions envious. You see, even the most prestigious and beloved priest of Occia admired and encouraged herself, praising her as the most gifted person she had ever met.
For this happy occasion, many close friends and church friends clamored for her to be treated, but Deborah, who was in a good mood, simply agreed, and made an appointment to meet tomorrow night to celebrate her becoming a monk.
With the gradual familiarity and growth of the soul magnetic field, Deborah really felt that she had changed in the sect for so long, not only gradually becoming more deaf and clear, but also getting better and better, her thinking ability and memory became much stronger, and she was more handy in work and life, which made her heart full of gratitude to the sect and the priests.
Seeing the chaotic scenes in the news and the wreaking havoc of the superpowers, Deborah felt some heartache and regret, also had abilities beyond ordinary people, and the priests used them to help others, while these superpowers acted recklessly, which was too despicable in comparison, and also highlighted the greatness and nobility of the sect.
Towards night, there are many people rushing to get off work around, it is the peak period of dense crowds, there are many passengers in the subway, holding books, mobile phones to read and browse the news, and some young people and hippies chatting together.
Deborah didn't even find an empty seat, but Times Square was the most crowded place, so she was used to leaning on the side shelf of the chair, taking the teachings out of her satchel and starting to review them. (To be continued......)
