At this moment, Ren Jie felt that the world was dark, and his body was getting colder and colder, as if a pair of invisible hands were dragging him towards the depths of darkness...

There were whispers in my ears, like the whispers of demons.

About to die?

Death...is this what it feels like? Ren Jie thought to himself...

I can finally take a break... I have been working part-time all year round, trying every means to make money, and sometimes I can only sleep two or three hours a day... ??.??????????.????

I am really tired and can finally have a good sleep.

But I am afraid I will never wake up from this sleep.

What should Aunt An Ning do? Can she take care of Yaoyao by herself?

Without the support of his own source of income, how long can Yaoyao's magic mark disease be sustained?

She would definitely cry when she knew something happened to her, right?

Ahhhh... I really don’t want to die...

I regret so much...

Ren Jie's consciousness struggled hard, but he completely lost control of his body and was unable to recover.

The doctor observed a moment of silence: "At 11.44pm in the middle of the night, the patient's heart stopped, brain death was confirmed, and there were no vital signs..."

"Where are the family members? There is no room in the morgue. Just send them to the cremation room for cremation. Don't bother..."

Wei Pingsheng wiped his tears and said, "Let's burn him. Let's see him off for the last time..."

It's better not to let An Ning see Ren Jie's tragic body. It will only add another wound to her heart.

I'll inform her tomorrow...

It's just that Wei Pingsheng doesn't know how to talk to An Ning...

Ren Jie was stunned at this moment. He clearly heard the conversation between the doctor and Uncle Wei!

Send it directly to the crematorium for cremation? Burn it?

Damn! So sloppy?

I'm not dead yet, I'm still conscious, why don't I just burn it?

Wouldn't that hurt to death?

You can't treat heroes like this!

However, there was nothing Jesh could do and he could only let everyone push him to the cremation room amidst the cries.

Although Ren Jie felt that his consciousness kept falling, his consciousness never dissipated, and he did not know what was going on.

Dead, but not quite dead?

Ren Jie is going crazy, please help me?

I feel like I can still save him a little bit more.

However, Ren Jie was as quiet as... bah, it's just a corpse...

…

In the cremation room, the huge incinerator door opened. At this moment, Ren Jie had been put on clean clothes and his remains were sorted out...

Xiao Ming was still crying, and the mother was also holding Xiao Ming and sobbing. After all, he died heroically to save his child.

Tian Yu and the others also wiped away tears. Although they don't like Ren Jie very much, they are all from the same youth training team and have been training together for almost a month, so they have some feelings for each other.

Unexpectedly...the first time I went out in the field, everyone was gone...

Wei Pingsheng was squatting on the ground smoking cigarettes, one cigarette after another, with a lonely expression...

The staff member tilted his head and said, "Then I'll burn it..."

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was sad and heavy. Wei Pingsheng nodded silently.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the sound of footsteps, and they saw a girl carrying a long sword rushing into the cremation room.

It was Jiang Jiuli, the girl who fought against the demon at the scene of the demonic disaster.

Without the starlight covering her face, everyone finally saw her face clearly.

She has long black hair hanging down around her waist like a waterfall, bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow, a high nose, and perfect facial features that look like something out of a painting.

It was as if a fairy had descended into the world, and with her arrival, the entire cremation room seemed to light up.

However, Jiang Jiuli was somewhat embarrassed at the moment. His white sportswear was covered in black ash, and his white arms were also wrapped with bandages.

Everyone looked at this young girl with a pure demeanor in astonishment...

Jiang Jiuli's big eyes fell directly on Ren Jie, his eyes dimmed, and he glanced at Wei Pingsheng again, he hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything...

He just leaned against the wall silently, covered his arms, lowered his head, and clenched his fists tightly...

Although this person himself

I don’t know, but I was beaten to death by myself. In the final analysis, it was because of my lack of ability...

She was very sad, so as soon as the things over there were over, she ran over...

At least...let me give him a ride...

The staff just glanced at Jiang Jiuli and saw that she had no intention of coming forward, so they pushed Ren Jie directly into the crematorium.

The oven door closes and the cremation begins.

Ren Jie was already yelling curses in his heart.

Damn my legs, I’m not completely dead yet, I’m suffering from a fever, what a quack!

It would be okay to just cremate a dragon for me.

The consciousness is still falling, but this time it seems to have reached the bottom...

Ren Jie was surprised to find that he had arrived on a vast mirror lake. He was standing in the center of the mirror lake. Looking down, he could see his reflection on the lake.

The reflection distorts as the ripples spread.

Mirror Lake is surrounded by endless dark space, with a few wisps of thin white mist floating on the lake...

Ren Jie was stunned!

"Where is this? The world after death?"

Soon he discovered that he was not the only thing in the mirror lake world. There was also a black fragment floating in the dark space, like falling from a lump of coal, with dense double helix patterns on it...

Ren Jie's eyes widened suddenly!

"This...isn't this my pendant?"

Ten years ago, a Class A demonic disaster occurred in Jincheng. His parents and younger brother both died of the demonic disaster, but Ren Jie was desperately rescued by a Si Yaoguan named Tao Ran.

Tao Ran also died to save Ren Jie, leaving behind his wife An Ning and five-year-old daughter Tao Yaoyao...

Ren Jie was adopted by An Ning and brought to live in Jincheng...

As for Wei Pingsheng, he was Tao Ran's comrade who also participated in the rescue, so he became interested in Ren Jie...

Ren Jie clearly remembered that this fragment was accidentally dug out when he was digging randomly in the ruins to dig out his younger brother...

I have worn it on my body for many years as an amulet and as a reminder of my family.

Could it be that this thing is still a treasure?

Ren Jie couldn't help but think of the burning sensation in his chest when he was first hit. Was it all due to the fragments?

A normal person would have died long ago after suffering that serious injury, but his consciousness has not dissipated.

Just as Ren Jie was thinking about the situation in front of him.

The black fragments fell straight into the mirror lake.

At this moment, the entire Jinghu Lake space began to vibrate.

A huge dark tree breaks through the lake and grows vigorously. Its main trunk winds like a horned dragon, spiraling upward, turning into a towering tree in the blink of an eye.

Countless thick branches extend out from the main trunk like devil's claws, almost filling the entire Mirror Lake space.

There are many branches but no leaves, just like a burnt dead tree...

Compared to a holy tree, this is more like a demon tree.

Ren Jie's eyes were filled with shock, and what he saw in front of him was already beyond his understanding.

By some strange coincidence, he not only raised his hand to touch the tree trunk, but the breaths of the two were somehow connected with each other...

The next moment, the largest main branch at the bottom of the Devil's Tree lit up, turned red, and burned instantly.

A flame fruit as dazzling as the sun took shape on the flame branch, emitting astonishing high temperatures.

Inside the flame fruit, a demonic shadow can be faintly seen.
