Half of the dragon's body poked out from the roof of the hospital building, and the green ghost fire that made up the body almost condensed into substance, covering the gray bones, constantly eroding the remaining parts of the dragon.

"Tut-tut......"

Ye Baiyu stood on the roof of the building, poking the ghost fire in front of him with a knife, and constantly shaking his head.

A sea of fire burned on the snow-covered rooftop, and the warm orange flames and the cold and biting green ghost fire were entangled with each other, unable to dissolve or suppress each other's stalemate, rolling on the snow below.

No matter what kind of flame it was, when it touched the tattered long knife in Ye Baiyu's hand, it was like touching a black hole that could absorb everything, and it swirled and disappeared on the rusty blade.

There was a satisfying swallow in the air.

"I made this thing a bargain ......"

He whispered to himself as he looked into the flames beneath the dragon.

This flame seemed to be connected to another world, and the ghost dragon that caused a huge vibration struggled to pull its lower ~half~ body out of the blazing~hot flames over there.

Streams of transparent water formed the shape of chains, poking out of the flames and wrapping around its body, stopping it from moving forward.

The "chains" were constantly evaporated by the surrounding flames, and with a harsh sound, white water vapor filled the roof, forming a thick fog.

Ye Baiyu only stood in it for a moment, and the clothes on his body were already soaked with water vapor, dripping down.

"What the~ is this~~ something!"

He swung the long knife in his hand and slashed at the ghost dragon. The green ghost fire quickly melted into the blade, and the blade of the long knife that was originally like scrap iron gradually appeared. Dark red rust fell, revealing the intricate lines below.

There are constantly ghost fires gushing out of the huge body of the ghost dragon~, and the little flame absorbed by the long knife is simply not worth mentioning in comparison.

"I'm in trouble!"

The hilt of the knife in his hand trembled dishonestly, and he shouted "buzzing" to break free from his master's grasp. Ye Baiyu held the hilt of the knife with both hands, but he still couldn't calm down his weapon, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

If you can't beat the monster in front of you, let's not talk about it for the time being.,I'm afraid that this thing in my hand that doesn't listen to the call will make something happen after a while.,And the ghost king who said before that he would let himself hold on here for a while.,And then come to solve the matter is gone.。

That guy shouldn't have fooled me into helping him carry this monster and run away first.

Ye Baiyu thought secretly, raised the long knife in his hand and slashed at the broken horns of the ghost dragon.

The blade slammed into the dragon's hard horns, leaving only a shallow white mark on it, only to anger the monster that was bent on breaking free.

The monster roared and lowered its head. It raised a flaming "front paw", and the two "eyes" dangling from its skull stared at the tiny creature below, as if trying to slap him away.

Ye Baiyu looked up, only to feel that the dazzling ghost fire quickly occupied all his sight and pressed down from the top of his head.

A transparent stream of water wrapped around the ghost dragon's front paws in time, briefly stopping its attack, and sparing Ye Baiyu from the fate of being slapped to death here by one claw.

The water that hit the flames quickly evaporated, Ye Baiyu took two steps back, and the fierce claws of the monster behind him also fell, leaving a scorching mark on the snow.

The biting ghostly fire swept across his back, scratching a few blood marks on his back.

"Aren't you cold when you're only wearing such a dress?"

The ghost king, who had walked around nowhere, stood on the edge of the rooftop and made a provocative gesture towards the ghost dragon.

"Where did you just go?"

Ye Baiyu turned his head and raised his knife with bad intentions: "You'd better have a valid reason, otherwise I wouldn't mind driving you away as an evil ghost." ”

"You can try, I'm leaving soon, anyway."

The Ghost King shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and raised his hand to throw something into the sea of fire below.

"Where are you going?"

Ye Baiyu put away the knife and asked suspiciously: "I finally came out once, and I have to go back to your cave where the grass doesn't grow so soon?" ”

The Ghost King chuckled and shook his head, holding out a hand to the angry and struggling Ghost Dragon.

As if the water around the ghost dragon had received some command, it changed shape and weaved a fine net, enveloping the monster immobilly.

The slender line of water fell from the net and condensed into a transparent bead in the Ghost King's hand, making him look like he was walking a horse with the reins.

The "horse" he was walking was shrinking as the restraints tightened, and the broken joints that had long been corroded by the ghost fire began to make an overwhelming sound.

"It's ......"

Ye Baiyu looked at the beads in his hand and exclaimed.

"Shark Pearl?"

The ghost king nodded silently, but his face looked a little lonely under the light of the pearl.

The ghost dragon was bound by the water net, and the ghost fire that made up the body continued to drift away, and its size gradually shrank to the thickness of a bucket, and the skeleton that had been compressed to the extreme finally began to break.

When the first keel fell to the ground, Ye Baiyu, who was standing on the side, vigilantly held the long knife across his chest.

However, the monster did not make any dying movements. The first bone was followed by the second, and then the third...... Like collapsed dominoes, the cylindrical vertebrae broke away from the flame-made body one after another, shattering into powder and drifting away in the wind the moment they fell to the ground.

In the end, only a lone head remained, and two flames, one blue and one green, hung in the skull, broke free from their eye sockets, attracting each other and entangled together.

There was a faint cry coming from it, and it sounded like thousands of people were speaking at the same time, and although it was impossible to distinguish between men, women, and children, you could feel the endless pain in it.

It was the resentment and resentment left behind by countless unwilling deceased. They were supposed to have nowhere to go, dissipating into the endless void with time, but they were attracted by this powerful corpse, and they lingered on to wait for the day when they would see the light of day again.

"How could I have allowed you to stay here!"

Ye Baiyu snorted vigorously, pinched out a rune paper and threw it into the flames.

The rune paper ignited as soon as it left his hand, but it hit an invisible barrier halfway through and fell to ashes.

"How could that thing be so easy to deal with?"

The ghost king stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said with a gloating smile: "It's a pity, it's rare to see you serious once, and you actually put a squib." ”

"If there's any way, just say, don't be weird here."

Ye Baiyu pushed away the "evil ghost" behind him with the tip of his knife, stretched out his hand and pointed at the flames under his feet and said, "What did you throw down before?" ”

"Of course it's a good thing to use against it."

The ghost king smiled secretly, lowered his voice and said, "That's a person......"

*********************************************

"This is all the life force in the flesh and bones, essence and blood, and internal organs of a human body."

Xia Yi handed the two bright red bullets in his hand to Xia Beifeng.

They were stepping on a flame. Overhead, the ruins of a hospital loom and disappear, and in front of it is a broken dragon's tail. The fine stream of water weaves a web that binds the monster stuck between the two worlds.

Underneath the dragon's tail, at the end of the water web, is a burning body.

At this time, the mermaid had burned into a charred black skeleton, and the original silver scales were scattered in the fire, melting into liquid like ice, and then evaporating without a trace.

It turns out that mermaids can really turn into bubbles when they die.

Xia Beifeng folded his hands, bowed respectfully to the corpse, and turned his head to catch the pistol bullet handed over by Xia Yi.

"Look no further, maybe I'll be glad she's dying here."

Xia Yi sighed, pointed to the "crackling" falling bone joints above, and said solemnly: "Look at it first, and when that thing comes out, you will shoot it." If you hit it, you can go home and sleep, and if you don't hit it, everyone will play together, understand? ”

"It sounds like a serious thing, why does it taste a little wrong when it comes out of your mouth?"

Xia Beifeng lowered his head and stuffed the bullets into the magazine one by one, looking careless: "Just shoot one shot?" ”

"You only get one chance."

Xia Beifeng glanced at him in surprise, saw his face solemn, and finally swallowed his doubts back into his stomach.

One shot is enough, why are you giving me two bullets?

Xia Yi stared intently at the condensed fireball above, the blue and green colors made him look like a spherical light in a KTV, but it exuded a certain disturbing atmosphere.

The ball of fire above his head was suspended in the empty skull, shrinking, but the light became more and more dazzling.

Cracks began to appear on the skull that was the last remaining piece of fruit.

The cracked skull fell with splinters downward, and the broken teeth and broken dragon horns fell in unison. Under the scorching fire, even the hardest bones of the legendary dragon will eventually turn to ashes.

Xia Beifeng held the gun in both hands, raised it above his head, counted the broken bones that fell in his heart, and waited intently for the moment when they completely dissipated.

When the flame finally shrunk to a point the size of a coin, the keel that shrouded it was finally completely gone.

There was no movement, no gorgeous and terrifying light and shadow effects, and the last broken bone fell silently into the flames below.

Bright red bullets burst out of the chamber of the gun, and in the blink of an eye, they crashed into the fire that was about to fly away.

For a few seconds, Xia Beifeng almost thought that time had stopped.

The scene in front of him did not change, and the bullet melted into the fire as if it had been engulfed.

Failed?

He held his breath and heard the sound of his heart pounding.

Gunshots rang out in his ears, followed by a deafening explosion.

The fireworks, which had shrunk to the size of beans, exploded, and the flickering sparks drew arcs in mid-air, disappearing into the flames that were rising higher and higher below.

The sound of "boom" echoed in my ears for a long time before dissipating, and the overly dense and bright light intertwined into a bright white canopy, blocking all vision. Even if you close your eyes, you can still only see a bright white.

This is probably the legendary "bright blind". Xia Beifeng laughed self-deprecatingly, and handed the gun in his hand to Xia Yi's position in his memory.

The soft fur swept past his hand, bringing a cool breeze and dispelling the pain caused by the blazing~hot flames around him.

"I have a question."

Xia Beifeng closed his eyes, turned his head to Xia Yi, who was surrounding him, and asked, "Who made that bullet?" ”

"A police officer."

Xia Yi's voice came from the buzzing ears, and it sounded extremely distant: "It's the kind of dead eye that won't regret dying for justice, and it's just right to deal with this kind of thing." ”

"And he...... Already dead? ”

"I'm not dead, but I won't live for a few days."

Xia Yi paused for a moment before he said slowly: "Under normal circumstances, he will find that his body has collapsed after half a year...... In your words, it's called organ failure. However, he will die in a month, and it is impossible to wait until the time when he dies of illness. ”

***********************************************************

Twenty years ago.

Lee woke up from a coma and found himself standing alone in the snow. With his back against the cold and hard wall, the piercing meaning passed down the back that came into contact with the wall into his abdomen, and he shivered with the cold.

The cigarette in his hand has not yet burned out, and everything before is like a dream, whether it is the strange young man who calls himself an evil ghost, or the hand that pierces his chest, it seems so ridiculous to recall now.

A ridiculous but true dream.

He snuffed out the cigarette butt, lowered his head and stroked his intact chest, and sighed in a complicated mood: "I've been so tired lately, I actually fell asleep outside like this, and I really should have ......a good rest after this case is over."

His self-talk suddenly stopped.

The hand in the pocket touched ~ something that shouldn't exist.

A bright red bullet.

Li Shengwu stared at the thing lying in the palm of his hand, recalling what the young man said in the "dream".

"The murderer has become a monster, and ordinary things can't hurt him. If you're willing to help me, I can give you something to deal with him. ”

Is that it?

He smiled self-deprecatingly, held the bullet in his palm, and walked towards the hospital yard.

***************************************************

Twenty years ago.

Xia Beifeng was startled by the "resurrected" child in his arms, and when he was frightened, he saw a black shadow rushing out of the bushes around him.

It was a black beast that looked like a tiger, but its fur was pitch black.

The tiger circled around him, its fangs flashing in its mouth, as if it were expecting something delicious.

The baby in his arms ran and cried at this time.

Probably startled by the baby's cry, the tiger's ears flicked twice, and suddenly his eyes narrowed and pounced on the big and small child in front of him.

There was an explosion in my ears, and the ground, which was already shaking, shook even more.

The tiger that jumped in mid-air grew its mouth, revealing its bright red tongue and sharp fangs, and bit down on Xia Beifeng's delicate neck.

Behind him is the wall, and in front of him is a beast that you can tell you is not easy to mess with.

Xia Beifeng, a ten-year-old boy who had experienced many things in one day, finally felt the despair of being isolated at this moment.

The expected pain did not come, and a long black sword that fell from the sky plunged straight into the tiger's head, smashing its massive body to the ground.

The beast roared in despair, raising its eyes to look into the air.

Xia Beifeng subconsciously raised his head with it.

A figure on the roof of the building behind him jumped down, his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, just like a hero who descended from the sky to save people from fire and water in a martial arts drama.

It's just a pity that I'm not a beauty.

Xia Beifeng thought regretfully, and moved a few steps to the side to make way for the people or corpses that fell from the sky.

The tiger who was nailed to the ground by the long sword smoked~ twitched his body and shrunk into a ball, and black smoke continued to seep out of his body, enveloping its body.

The "hero" who jumped from the roof of the building did not turn into a corpse. He walked slowly towards the "Tiger", and with a wave of his hand, he dispersed the thick black smoke, revealing what was pinned down by the sword below.

The giant tiger was gone, and only a withered skeleton remained in the black smoke.

The "hero" drew the long sword~ out, and the skeleton that was nailed to the ground also drifted away with the black smoke, leaving only a gray mark left on the snow.

"Hello."

"Hero" smiled and stretched out his hand to Xia Beifeng.

"Hello ......"

Xia Beifeng hurriedly wanted to free his hand to shake hands with him, but he almost dropped the child in his arms to the ground.

The child stopped crying, twisted his body and stretched out a hand that put it on the hand of the "hero".

"I'm going to trouble you later. But today's events, you still have to forget. ”

The man grabbed the baby's little hand and disappeared in front of Xia Beifeng in the blink of an eye.

Xia Beifeng blinked, looked down at the baby in his arms, and only felt that something very important in his mind was disappearing rapidly.

The crying baby suddenly fell silent, blinked a pair of dark eyes, and smiled at him.

******************************************************

Right now.

The sound of the wind sounded in his ears, and he couldn't see anything in front of him, and Xia Beifeng could only vaguely feel that he was moving rapidly. It seems to be rising, it is like falling, or it can be a purposeless spin. The feeling of weightlessness made it almost impossible for him to judge where he was and where he was going, and could only guess the situation by relying on the colder and colder air around him.

Am I walking back? Or is it falling?

Then again, can I still go back?

The answer, of course, is yes. Just when he was worried about his future, he heard Xia Yi's voice in his ear.

"You've arrived, fuck off."

He reopened his eyes, only to see a wisp of white tail slicing past his eyes and disappearing into the sky.

He left without saying goodbye...... Xia Beifeng awkwardly put down the hand that wanted to say goodbye, feeling very tired.

His vision was still blurry, but it didn't delay him from identifying where he was.

There were still sporadic flames burning in the dilapidated hospital, and the sound of things falling from it kept coming from inside, and faint shadows were leaving it and floating into the air.

After the cage collapsed, the undead who had died tragically in this hospital finally walked to where they should be at this moment.

"Aha......"

When the tension is relaxed, a sharp feeling of exhaustion ensues. Xia Beifeng stretched his waist and yawned, just wishing to just block the ground and sleep.

But no.

He looked back and saw the off-road vehicle parked at the entrance of the hospital.

The bright headlights illuminated the white snow in front of them, and a voice could be heard faintly from the dark window.

That's my car.

Xia Beifeng thought angrily, strode to the side of the car, and pulled the car door.

Shen Luotian and Ye Tianlang, who were playing games together, raised their heads in unison and expressed their protest to him with their eyes.

"Yo, I'm back."

Shen Luotian smiled and raised his hand against the car door: "Come back, come back, why are the car doors open so big, do you know that the air conditioner is turned on in vain." ”

"If you're so afraid of the cold, you can go outside for a run to keep warm, and we'll just drive back."

"Get in the car, instructor."

Ye Tianlang put down his mobile phone and stretched out his hand to open the rear door: "It's past twelve o'clock, but after I go back, let's cook a bowl of noodles for someone for supper." ”

"It depends on the mood."

Xia Beifeng lay down on the back seat, pulled up his coat and covered his head: "I'll sleep first, and call me when it's time." ”

"I won't call you, you can just sleep in the car for the night."

Shen Luotian complained quietly, and reached out to turn on the air conditioner to the maximum.

The buggy started in the thick snow, leaving the ruined hospital behind and heading for the brightly lit city.
