Pushing the hospital bed, Chen Qing's face was calm, but his mood never relaxed at all.

He was constantly observing his surroundings.

And just as the hospital bed was about to be pushed over and walked into the stairwell.

In the next second, a black light suddenly flashed in front of Chen Qing!

It seemed to be a rounded sphere of pitch black, out of place with the gray hallway, but with great concealment. When he walked through the corridor, he didn't bring a little fluctuation, as if he suddenly appeared, and then came straight towards Chen Qing!

If people with bad eyes may not be able to detect the black figure.

But at this moment, Chen Qing, whose five senses had been strengthened like never before, saw the clear trajectory of the round sphere.

He could even see the orb in a blur.

I don't know if it's his delusion.

Chen Qing always felt that this thing seemed to be ...... before Seen something like this?

Such a thought crossed my mind.

In the next second, the carving knife condensed by Qi in Chen Qing's hand suddenly slammed upward, as if hooking his hand to touch the basket.

And with his stroke, the carving knife tore through the air from the bottom up, quickly leaving a silver arc of light, like a crescent moon rising in the corridor.

The moonlight was cold, and it was only a moment of flickering that the small black ball in front of him was completely cut in half.

With a "snap", the rounded sphere split into two equal parts. The smooth scars at the incision indicate what kind of attack split it in two, like a knife into butter.

And the remaining two small balls also became wilted when they fell to the ground. Not only did the body turn into ashes, but even the original roundness gradually dried up.

This also proves from the side that it is probably a "creature", and it was cut down by Chen Qing just now.

Gently waving the carving knife in his hand, Chen Qing lowered his head and glanced at the ball on the ground.

Soon he noticed that the two little things on the ground were rapidly turning white, as if the wood had been burned, and only pale ash remained.

Staring at the white ash in front of him, Chen Qing was thoughtful.

"No," he muttered to himself, "I've seen something like this before." ”

Memories from days ago came back to his mind, and he remembered what this familiar thing was.

After a moment of silence, Chen Qing released his soul state.

Standing up, he turned his head to look at his desk.

And then from the corner of the table, where the forbidden objects were placed, pinched something, and carried it out of the body again.

In his soul form, he was able to pass through the mirror even with forbidden objects.

And this time, Chen Qing, who was carrying that taboo, discovered a rather interesting phenomenon.

Pinching the taboo that he had brought from the outside before, and then comparing it with the thing in front of him, the corners of Chen Qing's mouth hooked slightly.

He felt as if he knew what it was.

And just when he wanted to bend down and take a look at the white ash on the ground.

The next second, behind him.

Countless orbs like the round little ball on the ground flew towards Chen Qing like an overwhelming swarm of flies!

The small black balls were connected together, like a large net that had been completely opened, densely packed without gaps. And at this moment, this net is stretching out towards Chen Qing's side, as if it wants to engulf him and Colin together!

The orbs quickly stained the pale hallways their own black, and even the walls were soaked and still eroded at a rapid pace.

Seeing the white quickly fade and the black suddenly hit the abnormality, Colin, who could only lie down, was shocked.

It's like seeing a giant python swimming towards them along the wall, and it's about to swallow them all in one gulp!

"What kind of monster is that?!"

Although he couldn't speak, Colin's eyes expressed a similar meaning.

His eyes glanced to the side, and when he saw the shop window, he suddenly came back to his senses.

At this point he knew what those black monsters were.

It was clearly the black "X" that had been pasted on the window like a mark!

Now the signs all jumped down from the window and unfolded into rounded spheres, heading straight for them.

And their purpose is definitely not to clap hands with Colin!

Under the fear of the unknown, the polluting energy in Colin's body boiled again.

This energy quickly became violent, completely different from the peace he had been. It was a more terrifying, weirder, more gloomy power.

Compared to the transcendence he had attained through the "Hippocratic Oath", the current fluctuations in pollution on his body were more like ...... The feeling of "apocalypse" in him before!

Under this fluctuation, Colin miraculously slammed into the obstacle that bound his body.

His throat could start moving.

Struggling, Colin's Adam's apple swelled little by little.

Then, a sound came out of his mouth as if he hadn't drunk water in days.

"Quick...... Run ......"

"That's the old black ...... X。 Gotta run...... Hide behind a glass window......"

Before the dark shadows could rush in, Colin barely managed to utter a coherent word.

He didn't know exactly what to do, but it was clear that since Colin hadn't triggered the markers on the window before, it meant that the window must have a way to suppress the black balls.

It's still a long way from the stairwell, and after leaving this level, the hell knows if those black balls will follow.

Finding the secret of the window is the only chance Colin can think of at the moment to survive!

"Hurry ......"

He snorted, using all his strength.

Yet directly above him.

"No, you don't."

Chen Qing spoke calmly.

His left hand naturally hangs down to his side, and his right hand manipulates the Qi in his body, volleying into the void.

What is the most convenient way for him in his soul form to enter the future world?

It's not just about being able to explore the world better and know what your contractor really looks like.

These are actually not too significant for Chen Qing.

What really means the most to him is the forbidden knowledge in his head in the final analysis.

This is the capital of his life, and it is also his biggest reliance on this trip.

And once he entered this world in his own soul form.

That means that forbidden knowledge can no longer be relied upon by the contractor or books, but can be used by himself!

So.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Qing's eyes opened.

There seemed to be flames in his eyes, and the crimson flames slowly advanced with the light in his eyes.

And when the invisible words are traced in the air.

The fire in his eyes burned into the real world along with the forbidden vision!

[The heart is the king's fire, and it is said to be the upper ear, the kidney is the subordinate fire, and the middle is said to be the ......]

The fingertips of the volley painting were faintly flamed.

The flame, though not intense, was unexpectedly bright.

It's like being able to burn everything.

And that's exactly what happened.

Because this is a "divine flame" in the true sense, an unquenchable fire that cannot be extinguished by many means!

The shades of black are getting closer.

The pale walls have been completely overrun by these small black balls, losing their former color.

The nearest ball was even close to Colin's bedside.

It was at this time that Colin saw what the orbs looked like.

It looks rough and covered in thorns. The spines were so sharp that the mere thought of them sticking to a person made Colin's scalp tingle.

And the most important part is that these spines are alive.

They're opening their mouths, they're spinning, they're screaming.

They are hungry and want to eat the two people in front of them. Eat these two human beings, eat their souls, and fill their greedy desires with humans!

It's amazing that Colin can feel these crazy, twisted thoughts.

Perhaps because his pollution has changed its tracks, it is no longer as pure as it used to be, and it has acquired new characteristics.

With his eyes rolling, he looked at Chen Qing behind him.

Although he couldn't see Chen Qing's face, Colin could still feel the calm of the man in front of him...... Excited thoughts.

Excited?

Why get excited?

Colin was a little puzzled.

But he soon understood why.

When the shadow was about to stick to the hospital bed.

Chen Qing finally spoke slowly: "The three qi gather into fire, and disperse into qi." ”

"Therefore, Samadhi is true fire."

This is a very calm sentence, without too much embellishment, and without any passionate ups and downs, as if it were a simple explanation and a minimalist declaration.

But it is precisely this explanation that makes a note on the forbidden knowledge.

Like the last stroke of the brush, the dragon that has not yet left its eyes is carved by this annotation.

And the divine fire that learned his real name was also burning in the world in response to the monotonous and bland announcement!

"Wow".

The originally faint flames on Chen Qing's fingertips quickly skyrocketed!

In the blink of an eye, it swelled enough to burn half the sky.

The red flame burned all over the place, and the fiercely burning flame turned into an impenetrable barrier, forcibly separating the two of them from the black balls.

But it's clear that isolation alone isn't enough.

So, in Colin's jaw-dropping eyes, the flames gradually burned above the black orbs.

The ball, which was burned, soon fell weakly to the ground.

The thorns on their bodies are weeping, struggling in pain.

"It's so hot......" "It's so uncomfortable......" "Don't burn!" "Why can't it be extinguished?"

All that's left in Colin's head is this cacophony of noise.

The black flesh of the giant snake that had been roaming the walls was like rain, and on its body, the flames burned brightly, showing no sign of extinguishing.

Between this sheer light, heat and noise.

Colin's fragile nerves finally snapped at this moment.

He fainted very simply.

I don't know how long later.

When Colin woke up again, he found that he was no longer in the hallway.

He was about to lift his head, but soon realized that it wasn't easy to pull off the action.

Nanding's medical orders are still with him, and they are still strongly binding.

However, compared to before, this sense of loss of control of the body is still a little less. At least he regained control of his throat, as well as his eyes.

The Adam's apple agitated up and down, and Colin's voice was hoarse like an old man: "Here...... Where is it? ”

Only then did he realize that he was so thirsty, and his throat felt like smoke.

And wait until his voice falls.

A moment later, a calm voice echoed in his ears: "Top floor." ”

A man walked up to Colin and lifted him up while holding a jug to his lips.

Drinking water, Colin couldn't help coughing: "Ahem......"

After a little rest, he felt that his throat was a little better.

He wanted to take a look at the man, but found that he couldn't move his head, and in the end he had to give up.

With a sigh in his heart, Colin asked, "Who are you?" ”

He quickly added, "I know you're an apostle like me, but ...... There should have been only one apostle at the same time. Aren't you from this era? ”

Hear the words.

The man was silent for a moment, as if he didn't expect Colin to be so straightforward.

It took a long time for him to sigh: "As Ling said, I am not from this era. ”

Fingers pinched the coin, and the man's tone rose and fell with a hint: "I am a contractor like you, through ...... The Hand has come to this era. ”

"To search for some information and make up for some regrets. and, to fulfill the promise that was once made, but has not been truly fulfilled until today. ”

After saying this.

The man walked up to Colin and stood next to Colin's hospital bed.

It was at this time that Colin really saw what the person in front of him really looked like.

It was a face that looked unusually calm, very young, but unexpectedly gave a sense of vicissitudes, like a rock at the bottom, standing there enough to resist the rapids.

And the most important thing is his eyes.

It was a pure gaze that saw through life and death.

And he used these eyes to look at Colin calmly.

"My name is Zhongli." The man said to Colin in a quiet tone, "I'm here to fulfill my first and final contract. ”

The work is busy, and there are only two shifts in these two days

It is estimated that tomorrow will not be too busy, and then I will prepare to resume the third watch
