Life is always accompanied by all kinds of helplessness, or missed opportunities, or loss of true love, or loss of oneself... It is because of such an incomplete life that it teaches us to cherish, seize opportunities, and change ourselves.
But there is some helplessness. Once it happens, there is no turning back.
Thirteen looked at the two girls in front of him, as well as Zhang Tianshi's palm that decided their life and death, and felt as if his heart was in someone else's palm.
If given a choice, Thirteen really wished that he had never been to France or Paris, and just stayed in the imperial capital with Lin Xi, bickering and catching ghosts, doing nothing and wasting his time. That way, Lin Xi would not be put in danger.
Put yourself in pain and let people who don't deserve to die lose their lives.
Similarly, life does not accept reversal, nor does it accept escape. When pain and facts are in front of you, all you can do is face them.
"Tell me? Who do you want to see die?" Zhang Tianshi has almost lost interest. Maybe he will let the two girls endure more pain to urge Thirteen to make a choice.
At this moment, Lin Xi finally understood that the so-called calamity in Dao Yichi's mouth should be this situation, right? Although she didn't know how the resurrection effect of the Golden Silkworm King was activated, she still knew that there was some kind of poison in her body.
Luckily.
Perhaps this was Thirteen's crisis, but it was also a turning point in the incident. When Lin Xi was about to tell Thirteen to choose him through lip language, he suddenly found Thirteen staring at him. Wait, Thirteen didn't know about the Golden Silkworm King.
He didn't know that Lin Xi could be resurrected. At this moment, he was really considering...choosing Lin Xi.
"We are investigators..." Thirteen's tears... fell.
"I understand..." Thirteen said very little, but Lin Xi understood it. Because he was an investigator, he had already made it his duty to protect civilians when he set out on this road. They died saving people and died in the line of duty.
, they killed people and were called greedy for life and afraid of death. Although we are all born to parents, our different identities lead to different definitions of life.
But even though she understood, Lin Xi couldn't help but burst into tears. Perhaps she was still hoping that Thirteen would not be such a responsible investigator, and that he would make a selfish choice to keep her alive.
But just like Shisan said when he was walking in the car on his first mission, he was a born investigator. This was the only profession he was good at and could not give up.
"I've put your candies in the refrigerator. The weather in the Imperial City has gotten hotter recently, so chocolates can't be left outside. I've put last month's utility bills on the third floor of the shoe cabinet. Remember to take them to the logistics department for accounting. Don't forget them.
Yes. And more... don't tell my dad this, don't say anything to him... okay?" Lin Xi begged.
Thirteen's whole body was trembling, and he nodded until his teeth were almost broken...
"It's really touching, then, let's get started." Zhang Tianshi smiled and pushed Li Xiaowu towards Thirteen, and the fingers that were stuck in Lin Xi's neck were pulled out. Before she could react, his arms were like blades, coming from behind.
It pierced Lin Xi's heart and opened a big hole in his chest.
Blood dyed Lin Xi's combat uniform red and dripped onto the ground along her toes. Thirteen's pupils widened as if her body had been pierced. What was the feeling of emptiness in her chest?
Zhang Tianshi's attack was clean and neat, and he did not make Lin Xi suffer any more pain. He also did not let her lie in the hero's arms and talk for half an hour before dying like in the TV series. With just one move, her life was instantly killed.
After losing the heart, ordinary humans, even Daluo Jinxian, cannot save it. This is what Zhang Tianshi wants to see. The expression of despair, anger, pain, and fear on Thirteen's face is so pleasing to Zhang Tianshi.
.
"Lin Xi!" Thirteen called Lin Xi's name, but he could only take Li Xiaowu and hold her tightly in his arms. This man had collapsed, and Li Xiaowu felt that Thirteen would lose all his strength.
Pressing on her, she knew that he loved her, but had to watch her die.
Because of duty, because he represents justice...
"I feel good." Zhang Tianshi pulled his arm out of Lin Xi's body with a swipe and threw the blood aside. Lin Xi's body fell forward, and Shisan let go of Li Xiaowu in his arms and flew away.
He ran forward and hugged the body in his arms the moment he landed.
Thirteen tried his best to cover the wound on Lin Xi's chest, but the wound was too big to stop the blood from flowing out.
"It's okay, I will save you. No matter how long it takes or how many spells I use, I will save you!" Shisan's tears fell on Lin Xi's face, just like Lin Xi once held him in his arms.
It was the same as in the cold storage, except that Lin Xi's cold body could no longer regain its warmth.
"Do you think I will give you this kind of opportunity?" Zhang Tianshi obviously hasn't had enough fun yet. He holds a glowing white ball of light in his bloody hand spread forward.
"Lin Xi?!" Thirteen was shocked, because that was the concentrated state of Lin Xi's three souls and seven souls.
"Do you want to save her? Go to the underworld to find her." Zhang Tianshi waved his hand and knocked the soul into the ground. Generally, human souls will leave the body and enter a state of dispersion after death, such as being dispersed in the air.
The particles will condense and form again after 7 days, which is commonly known as the first seven souls.
Practitioners are stronger than ordinary people. After death, most of the souls can escape from the human body in a short period of time, or even in complete form. This gives Zhang Tianshi the possibility to directly extract the soul from Lin Xi's body. But it also kills the Thirteenth Salvation.
Lin Xi's last glimmer of hope.
Because even if you find new ideas or various secret techniques, they are only secondary. If the soul falls into reincarnation, there is really no cure.
"Do you hate me? Do you want revenge?" Zhang Tianshi stared at the trembling Thirteen.
"Revenge is meaningless... but sometimes, people always have to do meaningless things, right?" Thirteen stood up and wiped the blood from Lin Xi in his palm into his mouth. The taste was far better than the sweetness of saliva.
, but Thirteen’s heart was filled with bitterness.
The sword blades scattered around gathered together again in front of his raised sword finger, and the vast spiritual energy surged up, making the earth tremble. Thirteen's heart was overloaded to generate spiritual power. Even if he died here today, he would not be able to survive.
He had no intention of letting Zhang Tianshi leave alive.
"I didn't expect that your kid has such a physique that can generate spiritual power?" Zhang Tianshi was shocked. Returning to his long life, he had seen countless strange and weird practitioners, but only the thirteen in front of him could do it in just one breath.
The ability to create the total amount of spiritual power that others can produce in their lifetime. Zhang Tianshizhi has met one...that is his master...the real god, Taishang Laojun.
Thirteen is weird enough, but Zhang Tianshi doesn’t think he’s weird enough to let him go on a rampage. Zhang Tianshi whistled loudly, and the red and white dogs quickly ran back and transformed into Thirteen in his hands.
The posture of the Five Evil-Slaying Male and Female Swords.
At this moment, a hole burst out of the skylight in the main hall. Zanchen fell from the sky and landed softly beside Zhang Tianshi, "Friend, what a pity it is to kill him? You have given him the most painful suffering in the world, so quickly.
Do you just want to relieve him?"
Just when Thirteen was about to launch an attack, the white-clothed ninja Laughing Torpedo appeared behind Thirteen in a space jump, stepped on his back, pressed Thirteen to the ground, and forcibly broke his hands.
Thirteen's four sword fingers that came together caused the sword edges gathered around him to spread out again.
"Let me go!" Thirteen, who was lying on the ground, roared and struggled.
"If you don't want to kill us now, you can leave." Laughing Torpedo looked at Zhang Tianshi and others in front of him and said silently. At this moment, he was extremely angry but had no choice but to do anything. Zhang Tianshi's power was firmly in line with the sky-level investigators.
With the greater than or equal number on board and the presence of Zan Chen, there is no point in fighting now other than to risk death.
"Take good care of him. When I see him next time, I hope he can keep his current expression. Hahahaha!" Zhang Tianshi laughed loudly and walked toward the exit, followed by his loyal servant Clark and Youyouzhan Street.
The party's patron.
A big battle ended in such a sad way. The bad guys won, and the good guys could only watch the bad guys leave. This is not a plot that would appear in ordinary novels. The male protagonist should beat the bad guys to their knees like a dog.
Only when the earth begs for mercy can it provide enough nutrients for yy.
But today, let’s just accept everything as reality... Thirteen’s strength is insufficient, and the Laughing Torpedoes are not prepared enough. The resurrected thing is the devil in the world. How lucky it is to be able to save a small life. Although Thirteen feels that this
This kind of luck is simply a kind of curse...
The members of the World Exterminator Society outside the castle stopped fighting after being reinforced by the Holy Cross Legion who arrived later. Everyone split up and fled in different directions, and the head-on confrontation turned into a battle of capture and pursuit.
At this time, Qingcheng finally handed over his position as commander and hurried to the main hall. When he saw Lin Xi's body, Qingcheng was stunned, her head was buzzing, and all the scenes in front of her were pictures of the past.
Calm down, isn't the death of an investigator the most normal thing? As a commander, you should face life and death calmly, so that you can effectively implement your own plans.
But when Qingcheng walked to Lin Xi and looked at Shisan sitting next to the body, he took out a pistol and put it on Shisan's forehead without saying a word, "You bastard! I'll fuck you! Why don't you take good care of her?"
?Aren’t you awesome!! Why!!!”
Thirteen did not speak, and sat blankly like a corpse, indifferent to the muzzle on his forehead.
"Qingcheng... don't be like this." The laughing torpedo suppressed Qingcheng's trembling muzzle. He had never seen Qingcheng cry, but at this moment, Qingcheng's eyes were already moist.
For Qingcheng, taking care of Linxi was supposed to be just a task. He didn't understand why he felt so unbearable pain at this moment because he had moved his emotions and put his heart into it. Destiny, was he really the most fucked-up thing...
