Chapter 110: Little Sister’s Embrace
Chapter 110: Little Sister’s Embrace
“Can it be handled like this?”
Beneath the southern wall, Lu Xin wasn’t considering anything else.
At this moment, he only wanted to deal with this psychic entity before it devoured everyone under the wall.
Having promised to lend his ability to Little Sister, or rather, fully trusting Little Sister and letting her lead this cleanup, Lu Xin felt an unusual sense of relaxation. He could sense Little Sister’s joyful emotion. To some extent, he also had to admit that he himself felt very relaxed right now, a feeling of liberation, as if a kind of shackle had been removed.
He hadn’t felt this way for a very long time.
In this state, he was like a spectator, completely detached from the battlefield, observing the fight.
The sight of the two monsters grappling together felt to him like watching a play.
It was a strange scene. Both monsters were stitched together from clusters of human faces.
Only, the faces on one monster were like normal people, densely packed, displaying various expressions. The one Little Sister had contaminated, however, each face was distorted and sinister.
It was also more aggressive than the slightly more normal psychic entity…
Thinking this, Lu Xin even found it somewhat amusing.
Facing a huge and terrifying psychic entity, he actually found one of them more normal…
The two monsters pressed together, tearing at each other with limbs made of faces, biting the faces on the other’s body with the faces on their own bodies. Like two beasts, but clearly, the monster on Little Sister’s side, though smaller, appeared fiercer.
It was like a twisted Chihuahua.
While the other, just a large but clumsy Golden Retriever.
So, Little Sister’s monster quickly pinned the other down, seeming to engulf it completely.
Countless struggling, distorted faces gnawed at each other.
The psychic entity pinned beneath almost completely lost any room for resistance.
“Little Sister is really formidable…”
Lu Xin couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, thinking at the same time that he could help Little Sister in this way.
It seemed there were many secrets about himself.
If he got the chance, he should really try to understand himself better…
…Although saying things like “finding out I have many secrets, studying myself” sounded quite peculiar.
…
…
“Buzzzzzz…”
Just as Lu Xin was slightly reassured and even starting to contemplate some things about himself…
A faint, elusive signal seemed to transmit from afar.
Lu Xin saw the large psychic entity suddenly stop moving.
It allowed the distorted psychic entity controlled by Little Sister to bite and gnaw at it, remaining motionless.
The faces composing its massive body now all wore expressions of stupor and confusion.
Then, its body suddenly began to release an intense signal, as if an invisible force started radiating outwards, accompanied by a vibrating sound that might or might not have been auditory hallucination. Every face began to blur, turn turbid, like ice sculptures melting, coalescing, collapsing inward, concentrating unimaginably terrifying power.
Lu Xin watched from a distance, frowning slightly.
“Bad…”
Outside the wasteland beneath the southern wall, although those who had withdrawn weren’t actively peeking at Lu Xin at this moment,
everyone, whether members of the Special Operations Team, soldiers of the City Patrol Army, or the Investigation team, still held specially made spirit detectors in their hands. Consequently, they also simultaneously detected that intense and urgent signal of mental fluctuation.
This made them realize a problem: “Is the psychic entity releasing its final burst of radiation?”
Earlier, the Information Analysis Team had predicted the final reaction of this psychic entity.
The release of psychic radiation was no different from a bomb.
Not only people under this wall, but anyone within a ten-kilometer radius affected by the radiation could be in dire trouble.
Lu Xin had stayed here precisely to defuse this mental contamination bomb.
But now, the precursor to the radiation had appeared… could it be…
…
…
“Little Sister…”
The moment Lu Xin sensed something wrong with the psychic entity, he instinctively called out in his heart.
A thread of nervousness arose within him, and he felt himself already lunging towards the psychic entity.
But with a slight shake to clear his mind, he realized he hadn’t actually rushed forward. What rushed out was Little Sister…
Little Sister, wearing a messy and dirty white dress, surged out from within his body into the air. Staring at the facial mass of a psychic entity that looked about to explode like a bomb, she giggled happily.
Then, she stretched her body with force.
“Crack!” “Crack!” “Crack!”
Her body seemed pulled apart by an invisible force, stretched with tremendous strength.
But her small body had its limits. Subjected to such stretching, it naturally couldn’t endure.
In the next instant, her body shattered into many pieces.
Her tiny limbs and torso scattered into numerous fragments, floating in the air.
Like a solid block of building bricks broken apart into separate pieces.
Yet, Little Sister’s delighted laughter still echoed in the surrounding air.
“Haha, Brother look, there are so many me-s-s-s…”
Amidst her laughter, the enormous, twisted face-monster formed under her contamination also began to stretch and tear apart at multiple points simultaneously. It voluntarily split itself into many pieces, yet didn’t dissipate because of it. Between these disparate parts, there still seemed to be an invisible but resilient connection.
Once disassembled, its coverage area enlarged.
Then, fragments of the warped psychic entity flew out one by one, wrapping around the about-to-explode psychic entity.
The terrifying surge of radiation released within Little Sister’s embrace…
…
…
Watching this scene, an exceptionally sharp, stabbing pain suddenly pierced Lu Xin’s heart.
It felt like a steel needle driving into his brain and violently twisting.
He saw Little Sister happily embrace the entity poised to unleash its immense psychic radiation, containing its force and preventing it from raging unchecked into the surroundings. He recognized the ability. Yet, he couldn’t comprehend why, he felt an intense aversion to seeing this unfold.
…
…
“It’s over…”
At the same time, Qin Ran and the other ability users had already made preparations to withdraw.
Thick ropes and hooks were anchored to the edge of the thirty-story high rooftop. Using highly professional techniques, they rappelled downwards.
Qin Ran was the last to leave the rooftop.
He waited two seconds longer than the others. After pressing the detonator button, he had kept his eyes fixed on the display of his spirit detector.
After a long while, he observed no change in the data.
“The waters in Qinggang City run deep…”
This discovery made him deeply exhale. Without any further hesitation, he stepped directly to the roof edge.
Just as he was about to turn and rappel down, he suddenly jerked his head back, glancing behind him sharply.
He wasn’t sure if it was hallucination, but he vaguely felt as if a woman had just been staring at him moments before.
