Chapter 105: I'm no longer a man
"I've learned one thing from my short life."
"The more you play with trickery, the more you will realize that there is a limit to what human beings can do...... Unless beyond humans. β
"So ......"
"I'm not a human anymore, JOJO!"
In the darkness where no fingers could be seen, a crack suddenly opened, and the blinding sunlight penetrated and shone on a shriveled corpse.
Well? Is this light?
The dry corpse slowly opened his eyes.
I remember that before I fell asleep, I should have been lying in a coffin, sinking into the Atlantic.
At this time, a voice from outside came from the crack:
"Captain, come and see, what's that?"
"Well, this coffin is ......."
I heard the sound of someone rubbing the coffin with his right hand outside, and it seemed that the captain was wiping off the seaweed and other debris covering the surface of the coffin with his hands, trying to see the marks on it.
"Oh, yes, that's it!"
"Quick, go and inform the guests that what they want has been fished up."
"Okay!"
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly opened the lid of the coffin, and at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, it sprang out and pounced on the bearded captain.
This black shadow is the dried corpse lying in the coffin!
"Ah, what's that?"
Who would have expected that the corpse that should have died would still be able to move, and the sailors at the scene instantly panicked.
And the dried corpse, apparently very interested in the essence of the living, bit the panicked captain's neck in one bite and sucked the blood in a big gulp!
In just a few seconds, the old captain was sucked into a dried corpse, and all his blood flowed into the dried corpse's body, making his body gradually full.
Of course, the captain's blood alone would certainly not be enough to fill the stomach of a dried corpse.
So, after sucking the captain's blood, the dried corpse immediately pounced on the sailors, and in an instant, the salvage ship was full of corpses.
At this time, the dried corpse had returned to its human appearance and turned into a blonde man with a height of 1.95 meters.
Having absorbed the blood of the crew, the strong man had already read the information from it and understood the cause and effect.
It turned out that he had been sleeping for a hundred years.
As for this salvage ship, it was hired by a man and a woman a few days ago to come to the Atlantic Ocean and salvage the coffin containing his body.
"Huh? How do they know I'm sleeping here? β
The strong man frowned, sensing that something was unusual. In fact, as early as a few months ago, the strong man sleeping at the bottom of the sea felt some strange fluctuations, and then woke up for a short time.
It's just that at that time, the coffin was still sinking at the bottom of the sea, and the strong man couldn't get out, and he didn't know this fluctuation himself, so he didn't pay attention to it, but chose to continue sleeping.
"Could it be that the fluctuation has something to do with the man and woman who hired the salvage ship this time?"
Suddenly, the strong man stood up straight, stretched out the palm of his right hand, spread out his five fingers and placed it in front of him, and then tilted his head slightly to the left, looking behind him with the corner of his eye.
There stood a man and a woman!
The man was dark-skinned and dressed in a suit that looked elegant, and the woman standing next to him was wearing a sailor suit worn by the goddess of Toei, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and interestingly, the woman was carrying a slender cloth bag on her back, which looked like a weapon like a long knife.
"Although there were some twists and turns in the process, we finally met!"
The man took a step forward and introduced himself to the blond man, "Hello, my name is Latipu and I am your companion. β
Speaking of this, Latttip also pointed to the woman next to him and introduced: "Her name is Xiaoye, and like you, she is also a companion. β
However, after hearing Lattip's words, the strong man suddenly burst out laughing:
"Hahahaha!"
"Companions? That's all for you! β
When the last word came out of the strong man's mouth, a strong man in golden armor suddenly appeared behind him, this strong man in armor seemed to have the ability to float, and he could float in the air without a single click!
With the appearance of the strong man in armor, the strong blond man immediately turned around and shouted arrogantly:
"Be the nourishment for my recovery!"
"Smash Valudo!" οΌThe worldοΌ
With the roar of the blonde man, the golden-armored man floating behind him raised his left hand, and then the space of the entire ship turned black and white, and even the surrounding ocean stopped flowing!
This is the power of the blonde man: time stands still (the caster himself is not affected)!
Of course, the current strong man has just woken up, his strength has not yet recovered, and the time pause is only a few seconds, at least in the eyes of the blonde strong man, this little time is enough to kill the other party.
But!
"Bang bang bang!"
In a black and white environment, there was a clapping applause! You know, when time stops, not even the sound travels, and it stands to reason that there should be silence, and this shouldn't happen.
The eyes of the blonde man were full of solemnity, because the guy who clapped his hands was looking at the blonde man with admiration!
"You're unaffected?"
Rato didn't answer the blond man, but first turned his head to look at Xiao Ye, who had already pulled out his wooden knife and was about to make a slashing motion.
It's a pity that due to the influence of time pause, the wooden knife was only held in the air, and it was fixed in place before it could be swung.
"Xiao Ye, although your strength is good, it's a pity that you don't know the ability of time, so you will be recruited."
As he spoke, Latttip turned his head to look at the other side and said slowly: "But you, it's different, you actually know the ability of time, and ...... That humanoid thing behind you is your stand-in. β
When the blonde man heard this, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, not only did his own moves have no effect on him, but on the contrary, the other party even knew everything about himself!
Such a guy is definitely a strong enemy!
But now he is not his opponent!
The blonde man, who realized this, took advantage of the last second of the time pause effect, immediately put away his stand-in, turned and fled, and jumped into the sea and disappeared.
It wasn't until this moment that the surrounding scenery recovered from a blanket of black and white, and time began to flow again.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of the long knife slashing through the air finally resounded all around, but it was too late.
"He ran away."
Lattipu pressed Saya's shoulder, and the latter, too, noticed that the blond man had disappeared, so he reluctantly put away his long knife and spoke:
"Lattipu, you've failed."
Latipu sighed and continued, "Yes, that guy isn't as good a talker as you are, but it's safe to assume that we'll meet him again." β
"I'm sure that when that time comes, we'll be able to sit down and have a good talk."
At noon the next day, in Huahai City, Li Yunfeng, who was still at home, had no idea what was happening on the other side of the earth, and had no intention of returning to the main god space to continue the mission.
Because, Tang Qingyue called last night and wanted to invite Shen Ruyu to attend Sunday's party, and asked Li Yunfeng if he had come back.
As a result, Shen Ruyu agreed without thinking about it, so she ......
"Do I still want to attend the party held by Mr. Tang today?"
Li Yunfeng, who had spent the night with his wife last night, just got up and couldn't help scratching his head, after all, in the original plan, he wanted to return to the main god space today to continue the struggle.
"Yun Feng, today's party is very important."
Shen Ruyu put her mouth close to Li Yunfeng's cheek, pecked lightly with her lips, and then continued:
"Not only will many leading figures in Huahai City be present, such as Li Tianao, the cheap big brother you know, I heard Sister Tang say, and many foreign friends will also come, so the scene is very big."
Li Yunfeng nodded, and then said, "So, I have the opportunity to participate in that kind of party because of my wife's light." β
Although Li Yunfeng's words were joking, he was not wrong in a sense, his wife Shen Ruyu was born in a big family in Huahai City, so she was able to attend the party, in addition to her personal relationship with Tang Qingyue, there was also a certain reason for her family background.
"Hehe, it's good to know!"
As he spoke, Shen Ruyu stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Li Yunfeng's forehead, and then asked, "Hurry up, tell me honestly, who is that European woman named Rose Bernstein?" β
Yes, just last night, Li Yunfeng confessed all the things about his adventures in the Devil May Cry World, and he didn't hide it at all.
"She's a friend of Ghost Dragon Courtyard Gaoyue, so she helped me to repay Gaoyue's favor, of course, for me, she helped me, then I will help her. That's the relationship between me and Rose. β
After speaking, Li Yunfeng also shrugged his shoulders.
Sometimes, it is a good thing to make everything clear, but if you deliberately conceal it for some reason, it will cause your wife to misunderstand, which Li Yunfeng does not want to see.
Moreover, Li Yunfeng also believes that his wife can understand him.
"Hmph, for the sake of your clear explanation, I won't punish you."
Of course, Shen Ruyu understands her husband, and the so-called "punishment" in her mouth is at most just to do housework.
Li Yunfeng immediately hugged his wife tightly and said, "Sure enough, it's best to be a wife." β
"Alright, don't hug it."
Shen Ruyu patted Li Yunfeng on the back and said, "It's already noon, hurry up and prepare lunch, and then I have to rummage through the clothes from the closet in the afternoon." β
"Well, that's right."
Li Yunfeng immediately let go of his wife and said with a smile: "We haven't participated in that kind of party for a long time, is the dress still there?" β
Shen Ruyu pointed to the wardrobe in the corner with her thumb and said, "It should be all inside, after we finish lunch, I will rummage through it carefully." Oh, by the way, we can't use a blue fire for lunch this time, we don't have any spare pots anymore! β
"Hmm!"
Li Yunfeng immediately nodded in agreement.
You must know that last night, Li Yunfeng wanted to use the blue fire he had just learned to cook vegetables, but he couldn't pretend to be forced to do so, so he burned a hole in his cauldron.
Li Yunfeng, who had learned his lesson, decided to study his blue fire after returning to the main god space.
In this way, the evening came, and the couple, dressed neatly, took a taxi and set off to the hotel.
