Chapter 60: Death
The heavenly thunder slashed down on the head of one person and one demon, and Lin Zuzu pushed Bai Jiu, who had not reacted, out of the range of the lightning strike.
With Nuo's subtle assistance, she found that her fighting spirit was running efficiently and with low loss, and her qi and blood had never been as full as it was now.
But even in such a state, the moment Tianlei wrapped Lin Zuzu with absolute power, her thoughts immediately changed from "The old lady is going against the sky today" to "This TM is still a fart......
The whole process was so neat that it didn't even take a second.
The power of the lightning struck instantly burned her flesh, squeezing her fragile internal organs, destroying her retina and eardrums, depriving her of all consciousness, and only the pain would not die.
She thought that the pain caused by triggering the prohibition of demon blood was already at its peak, but it was only now that she realized her innocence and stupidity.
The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow seemed to adhere directly to the soul, but it was this pain that made her know that she was still alive.
Ha ha...... It's "heaven" on the other side......
I want to live......
"Well, we'll get it." No's voice came, pulling the girl's consciousness back a little as she was about to fall into darkness.
She had already entered a state of locking blood, but it was only delaying the destruction of her by the heavenly thunder, so that the healing effect could barely match the rate at which the injury increased. She suddenly understood that this state was not a guarantee that she would not die, but that serious or fatal injuries were slowly deducted from her body in several or dozens of parts.
The seventh heavenly thunder lasted for a full eight seconds, and the vigorous recovery power frantically repaired Lin Zuzu's body under the stimulation of the fighting spirit, and she persevered in the contradictory state of destruction and rebirth for eight seconds.
With all the buffs added, I finally barely survived.
But...... High up in the sky...... Have you ever thought that even the smallest human beings could withstand this so-called divine punishment?
Lin Zuzu couldn't sense whether he was standing or falling at all, and he couldn't look at Bai Jiu anymore, and the pain of eating away at his soul was not alleviated with the end of the lightning strike.
She really ...... Withstood the catastrophe...... For me.
But why...... It hurts......
Bai Jiu looked at the charred black figure with blurred flesh and blood, and felt something strange in his heart, which was a different pain from when his best friend died.
He felt a wetness on his face, and two lines of tears rolled down uncontrollably.
It turns out that I don't want to ...... You really died for me.
"Damn,, no, I'm going to die if I do it again!" Nou exclaimed, and it really felt the girl's real desire to live, so it didn't blame her for her recklessness.
"What to do...... This thing seems to hold a grudge, is he coming to me again?"
I've just changed my ways, and now I'm going to die if I set a flag, what kind of thing is this?
Lin Zuzu smiled bitterly, but he didn't know if he pulled the corners of his mouth.
Above the black clouds, thunder was about to move.
Tianlei seemed to have really attracted the attention of this strange girl who was neither human nor demon.
So, is my mood like love like this? Bai Jiu remembered the girl's negation of her words.
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
The eighth heavenly thunder fell as promised, and before the thunder completely enveloped the girl's thin body, Bai Jiu pinched his hand and threw himself into the thunder light with all his might.
The only remaining three clusters of fox fire unfolded into a translucent round shield around a person and a demon, and the fox fire struggled to dissipate the heavenly thunder, but kept narrowing the range.
Lin Zuzu felt that the pressure around him had decreased sharply, and he barely opened his eyes a slit, and vaguely saw Bai Jiu beside her, perhaps hugging her tightly.
But she couldn't feel anything......
Hearing, smell, perception...... All of them were burned by the brutal Apocalypse, and only the vision was restored a little.
At the same moment when the fox fire shield broke, Bai Jiu completely resisted the eighth heavenly thunder.
The entire rooftop was overwhelmed by the tremendous force and collapsed, and the lightning struck them several floors.
The smoke and dust were filled, and among the ruins, a man and a demon collapsed.
Bai Jiu's spiritual power was exhausted, and the last three fox fires completely dissipated, and the fox demons who were not good at physical skills were not much stronger than ordinary humans at this time.
The girl was unconscious from her injuries, and despite the exhaustion of her fighting spirit, her powerful healing power was still working, and the charred black scabs occasionally peeled off, revealing the tender pink flesh underneath.
Bai Jiu could feel that her heart was still beating faintly.
That's fine. He thought.
At this time, the demonic aura on the girl's body completely faded, and Tianlei no longer targeted her.
Bai Jiu stiffened his weak body and stayed away from the girl as much as possible.
He leaned against a crumbling wall, reluctantly looking in her direction through the cracks in the ruins. He shifted his head, finally finding an angle from which he could barely see her face.
Although his beautiful face was covered with scabs and scars, and his long black hair was burned away, he was still reluctant to blink, because his eyes would probably be closed for a long time.
Although the ending is still the same, thanks to you, I have one more thunderbolt.
We're amazing!
Thank you, little mouse.
Bai Jiu knew that if he resisted the seventh thunder, then the remaining spiritual power would not be able to support him through the eighth realm, and then he would dissipate into the majesty of the "Heaven" in advance.
It turns out that the help of humans really does not increase the power of the heavenly thunder.
It's a pity that this failed catastrophe will keep this secret sealed, right?
……
Hey, at the end of the day, I still think you're something special to me...... However, if you say I don't understand love, then I don't understand.
……
Yes...... Nice to meet you, Zuzu.
So, if there is an afterlife......
Please let me meet you again.
Bai Jiu looked at the girl gently, and a light smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Above his head, the last thunder fell, without the slightest mercy.
***
In the darkness, Lin Zuzu silently screamed and regained consciousness.
She heard......
Before she lost consciousness completely, she heard—
Bai Jiu's heart-rending and soul-piercing screams.
It was a situation she had never imagined, and the fox demon had always been synonymous with elegance and calmness in her heart, as if everything could be solved with a touch of her fingers.
Impossible, no, Xiaobai is very strong......
He's not going to die, he says he's coming back.
But......
Calm down, Lin Zuzu, you have to live first.
Yes, we have to live, and then find him again and take him home.
She noticed that she was in a silent darkness, just as she had been during her last near-death experience on a verified exam.
So......
"Hello?" She tried to ask.
"I'm here."
The lukewarm voice soon appeared, and the man in black entered the girl's field of vision.
"You...... What do you call it?"
"Haha, you just call me Ling."
That's not the name you called me......
"The spirit of the soul, according to your words." As if sensing the girl's doubts, he was the first to add.
"Who are you? Why can you only show up in my NDE? What kind of existence is the will of the human world?" Lin Zuzu still remembered his inexplicable answer to the question "Who are you" last time, so he asked in a different way.
"The will of the human world is the master here, and I am the god of death who has been empowered by him, so it can only appear when you are uncertain about life and death."
"Did he also send down the demon clan's thunderstorm?"
"Yes."
"Why do you call me 'ling'? What does that mean? I remember, what you said at the beginning, what "body", "variable", what is the special mystery about me?" She seized every minute and every second to throw out her questions.
"Haha."
This time, the knowing spirit chuckled and did not answer immediately, and Lin Zuzu did not dare to ask any more.
This is a real Grim Reaper...... I've been helping her, but it's not too difficult to send me away if I get impatient, right?
In the darkness, the two consciousnesses fell silent.
Lin Zuzu found that this time he had been in a dark state for a lot longer than the last time.
It looks like he's really hurt badly...... She shuddered as she recalled the pain.
It won't be saved, will it?
Don't...... I still have a lot to do.
At this time, the spirit spoke, and the voice sounded very gentle for some reason.
"Zero, to me, you are the most precious being."
