Chapter 153: Eyes
Teng Yunshen opened his eyes with tears rippling in his eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He stared at the back of the Radiant Mage's neck, and then, in a moment's trance, he tied the image of a wire to it.
It is very dangerous to expose this part of the neck. The guillotine is crisper than any torture instrument. It not only separates the head from the torso, it also separates life from death.
Wizards can survive that scene. They are extraordinary people, after all, there is something special about them. However, only the head is left, and they are also not far from death. Whether or not you survive in the end is one thing, and whether you are close to death is another. The lonely head is close to death.
The neck is such an overlooked and yet indispensable part. It's just under the face, but people tend to ignore it. The neck lacks details that can be used as talking points. Stout or slender, swarthy or fair, that's all. People are more interested in the head it holds. However, there is no substitute for the neck. Even if the brain no longer thinks, people can live unconsciously, and without the neck, you have to accept the reality and say goodbye to the world.
Its connection to life is more imperceptible than the heartbeat. You turn your neck to see where you wouldn't otherwise be able to see. And most of the time, you still have to put yourself in fear of the unknown. "There is a heart eye on the back. Isn't there such a saying? This kind of anxiety is always present to a greater or lesser extent, even if it is tiny. Fear stems from the instinct of self-preservation, and the neck is always facing all or nothing behind you.
However, the neck is not a very complicated thing. It has long been clear what it is made of. Perhaps, it is precisely for this reason that it seems so ...... Unique. Blood flows through the blood vessels, and the neck amplifies this scale. It's like a wire that keeps complex electronic components running, and it doesn't take much trouble to get it to stop. A pair of scissors is enough. With a slight cut, click, everything fell silent.
A bundle of colorful wires grew in the neck of the radiant mage. The mystery of nature's ingenuity is gone, and it is no longer a conduit between the material world and a metaphysical world. It's just a shoddy cheap counterfeit, trying to stick the head to the torso.
Teng Yunshen once again fired a beam of dead energy. The sound of burnt ice gave the wizard's neck a mottled sheen. Teng Yunshen frowned, and then came out from behind the wall.
The Radiant Mage's head crackled and flickered, making him dizzy. Teng Yunshen felt like a stack of newspapers by the fireplace, the fire had been extinguished for a while, but who knew if it would come back to life? He froze, threw a shadow, and dragged the Radiant Mage over.
The energies from the bygone world did not cause serious damage to the wizard's brand-new neck. After all, it is made of metal and rubber, and it will neither die from excessive bleeding nor death from suffocation for too long, and at the end of the day, people usually don't give the concept of death to the wire, they just say it's "broken", not "dead".
Teng Yunshen might have been able to dig out the ghosts of wires from the depths of the past world, but he didn't have to. Just to kill the wizard, there is no need to look far away.
He remembered the fire mage's burning and lit a bright flame on his finger. Earth, water, fire, and wind, the first tool that people master in war is fire, it is a symbol of aggression, and people use "war" to refer to the damage caused by war......
Teng Yunshen grabbed the wizard's neck and fused it. Strangely, without the texture of flesh and blood, the wizard's neck became more fragile. Teng Yunshen let go of his hand and let the hot corpse fall to the cold ground. The wizard's hair curled up into a ball, the light faded, and the rapidly spreading flames engulfed him.
Greene had another chance to speak: "Wires?"
"It's a good thing, we can't live without it. Teng Yunshen nodded, "The use of electricity is one of the most significant advances of this era. It is a sign of civilization. Still, we can break it in the old way. It's always easier to destroy than to build. He extinguished the flame on his finger. "You-"
"I'm sorry. Greene muttered, and then hurried away again. He left an entire empty wall in front of Teng Yunshen, as if an angry community service worker had just arrived. In fact, the process of running only appeared in Teng Yunshen's imagination. The Great Wizard is just a thought, a resonance. His life is long gone.
Teng Yunshen waited patiently.
The flames cooled over the corpse, and he bent down to retrieve the Radiant Mage's purse and poured a handful of hot coins into his pocket.
"Safe. ”
Teng Yunshen raised his head, looked over the fluttering ashes and smoke, and looked at the wall. Once again, the great wizard has returned "motionless".
"That means we can take a break. Teng Yunshen picked up a few bones that had been burned crystal clear by the fire, and flicked the corpse of the Radiant Mage, and after removing the black charcoal, the rest of the body shone with a colorful luster.
The fact that people's dead bodies often exhibit a crystalline structure that is unique in nature seems to reveal the sacredness of the work of creation, and once again proves that they are very different from animals. Some religious ideas even claim that this is what humanity really is, and that the animal-like bodies of the dead are nothing more than the tricks of the devil to make them live in misery.
Science cannot explain this phenomenon, and it is the most powerful weapon of superstition, just like the mystery about the elixir. However, there are many, many phenomena that science cannot explain, but it is undoubtedly a weak and foolish act to seek truth from religion, and it is well known that preachers almost never tell the truth. Their promises are only eternal deception.
Even after being exposed to the wonders of the supernatural world, Teng Yunshen still didn't believe that the omnipotent god was not a fictional thing. If God is clearly present in this world, then the fact that humanity has experienced such a long period of suffering can only confirm His wickedness. In any case, it would be a mistake to pin the ideal on the mercy of the gods.
The corpses of wizards are even more dazzling than those of mortals. But Teng Yunshen doesn't think this has any sacredness. Some die great, some die despicable, and you can't tell the difference from the light......
Teng Yunshen noticed Green's silence.
