Chapter 256 The Corrupted Witch
In another hallway, Chang Lei's palm reached out from the void and suddenly covered the head of a person possessed by the power of shadow.
No one knew how Chang Lei appeared there, and even the shadows attacking him frantically around him didn't react in time.
Immediately afterwards, Chang Lei grabbed something with his hand and lifted it up, and a clump of black, sticky liquid gushed out of the agent's head.
It looked as if Chang Lei had captured the dark soul.
Chang Lei casually stuffed the power of shadow into the magic space. He remembered that Tang Zijun seemed to need this power to improve herself.
Although this level of shadow power was far too weak, Chang Lei still tried his best to collect it, believing that even a small amount was still valuable. He was also quite curious about these powers.
Looking at the detective who had collapsed to the ground, Chang Lei breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This should be the last agent to be possessed. Although he will need to recuperate for a while afterward, he is fortunate to have survived.
Just as Chang Lei was about to deal with the Shadow Clan, he suddenly sensed something and abruptly stopped.
"broken."
"What's wrong?"
Beside him, Lotes, the Royal Guard Captain of the Flower Fairy, asked in confusion.
The two encountered each other five minutes earlier. The moment the Magic Bureau building was attacked, Lotes joined the battle with thirteen Flower Fairy Guards.
To ensure the safety of the Flower Fairy Queen, Ruosi returned to the Mirror Dimension after her brief appearance.
Although the Shadow Clan's purpose was unknown, the possibility of beheading the Flower Fairy Queen was taken into consideration. Therefore, Shangguan Su devised a plan to secretly arrange for the Queen to retreat first.
The one left behind to act as bait was none other than the chief guard, Ross.
As the attack began, Lotes was both surprised by the sudden appearance of the enemy and amazed by human ingenuity.
However, she soon noticed that these Shadows seemed to have no interest in her; they appeared to be there only to cause destruction, constantly attacking everything around them.
Upon seeing this, Lotes, without saying a word, led the Flower Fairy's guards out to meet the attack of the Shadow Clan.
It was precisely because of Lotes's intervention that by the time Chang Lei had cleared his way to this point, the Shadow Clan on this level had been almost completely wiped out.
Although it was the first time Lotes had seen Chang Lei's current appearance, she was not surprised, because the Flower Fairy's talent allowed them to see through Chang Lei's true nature; at most, he was just wearing a mask.
At this moment, seeing Chang Lei suddenly stop what he was doing, she became a little curious.
But Chang Lei seemed very nervous, craning his neck and constantly observing in one direction.
"Mr. Hax, what exactly happened?" Lotes frowned and asked again.
This time, Chang Lei finally reacted, turning around menacingly. "That guy surnamed Qiu is back."
"Deputy Director Qiu Yun?" Upon hearing this, Lotes' spirits lifted. "That's good. With her around, these corrupted beings pose little threat."
"Heh...yeah," Chang Lei said dryly. "Do you think she might just throw me away along with her?"
"Well..." Lotes was speechless.
Perhaps it was because he was too familiar with Chang Lei, as the two had communicated many times in the mirror dimension. Looking at this guy who was becoming more and more like a human, Lotes sometimes forgot that the other party was also a corrupted being.
Just then.
A thunderclap suddenly rang out, followed by a deafening roar, and the upper floors of the building shook violently.
Chang Lei was startled by the noise and trembled like a rabbit as he looked up in the direction where the sound disappeared.
"Old Chang!"
Before Chang Lei could calm down, a soft shout from not far away startled him again.
Turning his head, he saw Qin Nan flapping his wings and flying quickly toward him.
"Qin Nan, you little brat, are you trying to scare me to death?" Chang Lei patted his chest and took deep breaths.
"Miss Qin."
"Captain Lotes." Qin Nan greeted Lotes first, then turned to Chang Lei. "Hey Chang, are you serious? Could Sister Qiu have scared you like this?"
During the time Qin Nan lived with Tan Zhixin, she had heard of Qiu Yun's reputation, but they didn't have much interaction.
Upon hearing Qin Nan's words, Chang Lei immediately jumped up. "How could it be? Do you know how terrifying that woman is?"
"No, you used to be a high-ranking official, after all..."
"You said it yourself, that was 'before,' do you want to see what a mess I am now?" Chang Lei pouted. "By the way, what are you doing here? Where's Tang Zijun?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan said seriously, "Tang Zijun must have thought of something just now, and then disappeared into the shadows. He told me to come quickly and save people first."
"Alright, that's all for me here, I'll head out now." Chang Lei nodded and quickly got up to leave.
"Wait a minute, are you just leaving like this?" Qin Nan couldn't help but ask. "The Shadow Clan hasn't been dealt with yet..."
click!
Another clap of thunder rang out, and the entire building trembled.
By the light from outside the window, one could vaguely see thick smoke billowing from the windows on the upper floors.
At the same time, the shadow power that Qin Nan and Lotes could sense also vanished without a trace, as if it had suddenly disappeared.
After standing there stunned for a while, Qin Nan turned her head, only to find that Chang Lei had already disappeared without a trace, saying goodbye before she could even wave.
"This guy..."
"Miss Qin, what should we do next?" Lotes withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Qin Nan.
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan spoke up. "Please go to the upper floors to help the wounded. I need to rush to the operations room to inform the director that Sister Tan has been arrested."
"it is good."
Lotes was a fiery and impulsive person. After hearing Qin Nan's words, she turned around and flew away with the flower fairies.
Watching the flower fairies depart, Qin Nan sighed softly.
The thought of Tan Zhixin's current whereabouts being unknown made her clench her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she seemed not to feel any pain.
Although she had great faith in Tang Zijun's fighting ability, she couldn't calm herself down no matter what.
Using his magic to summon the wings on his back, Qin Nan took a deep breath.
Sister Tan.
You must be safe and sound...
The dark dimension of eternal night.
A corner with a faint, dim light.
"Sorry, let's stop..."
Tan Zhixin spoke weakly.
"A world shrouded in shadow, a world forever unable to see the light—is this what you want? What meaning will life have then?"
"Life itself has no inherent meaning," Shi said, gently shaking his head. "But I will give it meaning."
"You're crazy," Tan Zhixin said through gritted teeth.
But upon hearing those three words, Shi Que's eyes suddenly narrowed, her face turned ashen, and she stared coldly at Tan Zhixin in front of her.
"No, you're the one who's crazy!"
"How could they choose to cooperate with the murderer who killed their sisters!"
"Yes, I know what you did..."
He took a step forward, his face almost touching Tan Zhixin's.
She stretched out her hands, her fair arms passing under Tan Zhixin's armpits, and gently touched the scars on her back.
"ah."
A slight pain shot through her, and Tan Zhixin frowned.
Her red lips brushed against Tan Zhixin's ear.
"It seems you've forgotten where this scar came from."
"I also witnessed the day the sacred tree fell; it was magnificent..."
"What I never expected was that my 'beloved' captain would actually set aside past grievances, put aside her hatred for her sisters, and stand with the most disgusting person in the world!"
"No, that's not it." Tan Zhixin raised her head. "He's different; he's not a greedy person."
"he?"
He pondered the word carefully in his mind.
Tan Zhixin then spoke up. "He is human, just like us."
"He killed all the greedy people; greed is a thing of the past!"
"I'm sorry, but believe me."
Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed in his eyes.
He seemed unable to believe what he had just heard.
"Are all the greedy people dead?"
"Yes."
Tan Zhixin nodded heavily.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Shi stared at Tan Zhixin, trying to read something from her face.
But she was disappointed; Tan Zhixin's face was full of sincerity.
"No.."
Shi distanced himself from Tan Zhixin, his finger trembling as he pointed at her.
"You...you're lying to me...I almost fell for your lie..."
"I'm not lying to you, it's all true."
"The negative energy that should have been received by the Shadow World was taken by the Reverse World. Those guys are still fighting over the negative energy, how could they possibly die?"
He stared at Tan Zhixin with icy eyes.
"Even now, you still want to lie to me."
"If the Greedy Ones are truly all dead, then why can I sense their power within the annihilated Shadow Clan?"
"I..." Tan Zhixin opened her mouth.
She was about to explain something when she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her lips.
"Hmm."
Their lips met, and Tan Zhixin's eyes widened instantly.
A chill ran through her body, but this sensation did not make her more alert; instead, it made Tan Zhixin's mind somewhat muddled.
Her entire body was embraced by the thief, and Tan Zhixin immediately struggled, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the feeling. Darkness began to surge, and an indescribable terror was quietly being born.
Unseen forces roamed the darkness like ghosts, their cold tentacles gently touching everything around them.
The entire dimension began to be affected.
Tan Zhixin struggled with all her might, but her moans grew weaker and weaker.
The pitch-black energy gradually enveloped her body, and as her resistance faded, it finally enveloped her entire body.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
He looked at Tan Zhixin, who was completely swallowed by darkness, with a complicated expression.
"If it were the old you, even if you lost your power, you wouldn't have been so easily corrupted by the power of shadow..."
She licked her red lips slightly and let out a soft hum.
"really."
"You've fallen in love..."
