Latent Syndrome

Chapter 389 388 Return

Chapter 389 388. Return

When the scene in front of me gradually became clear from the trance.

Rhodes only felt some warmth under his nose, and when he touched it with his finger, it was filled with black and red blood.

He was not surprised, and simply wiped it with the blood-stained handkerchief.

The female assistant reminded him that someone was coming at the horizon, and it wasn't even a raft, just a few broken door boards nailed together.

Rhodes nodded and asked her to avoid it for the time being.

Twenty minutes later.

There was green lightning wandering outside the window.

"I heard you are a stargazer."

"Knowing the past and the future."

"It better be this way."

Di Biao's voice was low and hoarse, like a living dead.

Rhodes already knew that he was different from the previous two people, and he was just here to kill him.

"Actually."

"You've already killed me once."

"But it doesn't seem to be working very well."

"You still haven't gotten what you want, have you?"

“Even if all the people who believe in you have their sufferings passed on to you, they still won’t survive.”

"Because they have accomplished their mission."

"And when will you be able to complete yours?"

Rhodes could see all the endings. No one who was coerced into participating in this dispute could end well, not one of them.

"Worker bees can fly away, drones can leave."

"The queen bee becomes an eternal slave."

Rhodes said calmly.

Di Wei fell into silence for a long time, took off his hood, and revealed a horrifying face. He had reached the end and was already in the process of transformation. One arm was completely deformed, and the skin was covered with blood scales. There are the hard and sharp long claws of the crazy wizard in the forest.

"It's exactly what the rumors said."

"You are a prophet."

"But you didn't run away."

"Either you are prepared to die, or you are destined to escape this fate today."

Di Wei is not in a hurry to kill him, maybe he comes from a further future.

This conversation has gone longer than expected.

As if he sensed something, Rhodes leaned back on the chair somewhat relaxedly.

Then he looked at his watch and said calmly: "Did you feel it? Just a second ago, time and space had converged. From now on, there is no way out."

"My mission ends here."

Rhodes said calmly, because the content on the original true page, from the moment just now to a long period of time, is blank. It records everything, but it does not record this period of time.

"I'm not interested in these riddles."

"So it's the former."

"Your mission..."

"Just to be killed by me."

Di Wei was prepared to take action after a minute, wanting to see what the wise man would say in the end.

Rhodes was noncommittal.

"Have you heard the story of Icarus?"

"His father collected the feathers of tens of thousands of seabirds and mixed them with honey wax to make two pairs of divine wings that could fly into the sky, so that he could escape from Crete."

"But after taking off, Icarus, who was naturally proud and yearned for freedom, forgot his father's warning."

"Flying like a maniac to the scorching sun high in the sky, hoping to touch the scorching sun."

"Let his wings melt and burn without caring, and he will eventually fall into the sky and die."

Rhodes told insignificant fairy tales.

Di Biao's monster left arm also turned into a cold enamel blade.

"it is a pity that."

"You are destined to be a tragedy."

"If I'm not wrong."

"Next you'll head to Turin."

"When nothing else exists."

"You will be freed from eternal slavery."

"Even if I can't foresee that time..."

"But it was meant to be."

“Redemption is available to all, rich and poor, high and low, righteous and evil.”

"Everyone."

"Only you are excluded."

As Rhodes finished.

He could never go back in time.

Click!

The sharp edge flashed, and blood flowed like a column.

Di Wei put on his hood, walked slowly down the lighthouse, opened the door and left, ignoring the scream of the woman inside, parting across the sea and heading to the final place.

…

On the endless desert.

The second in the SCT combat directory, and also the supreme commander of the SCT army, is escorting the most important things back to Turin.

These include Opal, who was initially infected in the South Pacific incident, and two people who were unconscious after being injected with drugs.

and a sealed portfolio containing the original pages.

However.

Without warning.

The entire portfolio began to burst into flames.

The legion commander's expression changed drastically. This thing is eternal, how could it suddenly start burning itself?

He has lived for thousands of years and is the most powerful warlock in history, but such strange things are unheard of.

Part of infinity is also infinity.

A page of eternity that also encompasses eternity.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and laughed.

Even this supreme thing used to kill gods, this infinite eternity has begun to burn, and all things are already outside of number and existence.

The outcome seems to have been determined.

The metal box containing Opal was trembling, and the legion commander knew that it was his cry of despair.

"I saw a glimpse of the future."

"Not foresight."

"But it's already happened."

"SCT has achieved complete victory."

The legion commander said, now all he has to do is take back the metal box, the last piece of the puzzle, and hand it over, and he doesn't need to do anything else.

Just wait for the truth to come.

…

a year and a half ago.

Colin loses his bet against Gray Racing.

He wanted to humiliate this woman and tear open her scars bloodyly to expose her disability, in order to achieve the purpose of venting his hatred, especially for a woman.

If Colin wins, Gray must take off the blindfold to see what he looks like, so he cannot show it to anyone.

But Colin lost.

He never thought that he would lose. The bet was that he would promise her one thing unconditionally.

This is a completely unfair match, because Gray was the overall champion of the Isle of Man TT World Motorcycle Championship.

"Tell me what you want me to do, even if it's to kill the SCT Summit Chief, I have nothing to say."

Colin was very straightforward.

Unexpectedly, Gray unbuttoned the black blindfold and took it off.

Colin stared blankly, as the wheat waves swayed and the sun shone under the blindfold, he suddenly felt a trace of guilt.

"Many times, no matter how you choose, there is only one way to choose."

"I have only one request."

"Do the right thing. Now you don't have to bear any guilt because I asked you to do it."

"Please let everyone die worthy."

Blood oozed faintly from the joints of the metal prosthetics.

…

In the mechanical and electrical room of the underground tunnel, in Zhuo Ya's room.

Things did not go as Zoya had hoped, and Colin died after visualizing the ruby.

Instead, the stone was gone.

Hannah was also frightened. She had seen Luca go crazy and talk to himself in front of the emerald, muttering about one thing like a demon.

I don’t know if the gem is holding something, but Luca is talking to the gem.

Listening to his ravings, it seemed that he was constantly sacrificing something, trying to dim the light of the gem, but he couldn't do it no matter what.

In the end, he left behind those instructions and the gems and then disappeared.

"Where are the two stones?"

Hannah asked subconsciously. This was even more puzzling than magic. There was no pause, as if a frame had been cut off unexpectedly.

The extremely diffuse winter and blazing sun disappeared in an instant, and the temperature inside the room became normal.

"They have accomplished their mission."

"most of the time."

"No matter how you choose, there is only one way to choose."

Ke Linxu shook his hand and felt infinite power bursting out of his body.

Hannah was a little panicked, because Luca was the same. He became extremely obsessed after being in contact with gems for a long time. Colin also seemed to have changed into another person. He was already weird enough, and now he has become the Riddler. .

Zhuo Ya's plan failed, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Will Colin abide by the agreement and leave peacefully like this?

Hannah knew Colin's situation. He was already on the verge of death and had been injected with stimulants. Now he seemed to have been drugged. He was in a state of escaping from the intensive care unit and sitting on a wild horse. status.

"Luka's situation is somewhat similar to yours."

"He tried countless ways to dull the luster of the gem, but couldn't do it."

"Not even the slightest bit of weakness."

"What's going on with you?"

"Absorb them directly?"

"Or did you sacrifice something that consumed all the power of those two stones?"

Hannah asked extremely curiously, Luca might have sacrificed all his rational soul, so what exactly did Colin have to sacrifice to achieve this?

"No."

"It made the sacrifice to me."

"I gave it what it asked for."

Colin said something incomprehensible.

After saying that, he ignored Zoya and Hannah, opened the door and prepared to leave.

"where are you going?"

Hannah asked, because she was ready to leave her alone because of Colin's attitude, but this was also a good thing, as following this dead star would lead to death very quickly.

What she cares about is that Colin is one of the few people who is still fighting against latent disease in such a desperate situation. If he dies meaninglessly, there may really be no hope at all.

"It doesn't matter to you."

"You just have to wait and be sensible until then."

"I promise."

"It was all over quickly."

"It won't be long before there is an end."

"I already have it."

“The power of eradicating latent disease.”

Colin took one last look at Hannah and Zoya. He already knew the situation of this underground tunnel. No one could have imagined that such a paradise actually existed in the dark sewer.

It is indeed a happy place for Colin. There are only women here, relying on each other, comforting each other, and...

"For example?"

Although Hannah thought Colin might be out of his mind, what happened just now was indeed very subtle. Those two gems were extremely sinister things and were related to the mystery of the Abyssal Syndrome.

After annihilating those two stones, Colin may have really gained some supreme power.

"You don't want to know."

"You just need to..."

"wait……"

After Colin finished speaking, he disappeared directly from the spot, as if he had never been here before.

Only Hannah and Zoya were left looking at each other.

But inexplicably, just intuition, what Colin said made Hannah feel extremely reassured.

…

Violet is marking the location for her allies to arrive.

Suddenly.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, as if she was being repulsed.

Advance personnel from her organization also sensed something was wrong.

"How can this be?"

"The connection was cut off. What happened just now?"

Even they, as the most powerful sorcerers in the world, don't understand what happened. They can no longer use any power, and their connection with the deep world is completely blocked.

Only the remaining magic power before that can be used. After use, it can never be recovered. It will die like a mortal due to various complications of cell failure due to radiation.

Fortunately, the advance team still retained most of their magic power, but Violet tricked Arnold into feigning death and drew new coordinates, so they had very little power left. They immediately stopped what they were doing and wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths with the back of their hands.

"It's really unheard of."

"Looks like we have to die here."

Violet said calmly.

The advance guard laughed.

“I didn’t expect it in my lifetime.”

"It's actually possible to encounter something that only exists in legends."

"Nothing can exist independently of the spirit unless it reaches a void."

"I can't believe this is true."

"We are already beyond eternity."

"What happens next is something no experience can determine."

"It was completely violent."

The advance personnel only felt that they had no regrets in dying, and that they had arrived at the most important point where all things return.

In this irreversible rule.

The midpoint of every place is the edge of every place, and vice versa, the beginning of everything is also the end of everything.

They are connected with the supreme power, and no one knows how they are connected, in the blank space outside of number and existence.

There is only primordial chaos, the abyss of stars.

"It seems that everything has come to an end and everything in the past will cease to exist."

Violet sighed, not expecting it to end in this way.

This is an unparalleled despair, so desperate that there is no way to win, and even no one knows how to resist it all.

The advance personnel also understood that this chaos and latent abyss disease were not conceptual projections, but a ubiquitous truth itself.

It is the unknowable final horror that cannot be reached by form, thought, logic, and philosophy.

Violet felt that the whole world was quiet, she was cut off from the source of power, and she could no longer predict what would happen in a few seconds.

Looking at this boundless wilderness, I felt a strange sense of peace.

"It's not a bad idea to end it like this."

Violet closed her eyes and felt the breeze blowing. Is this peace? It's so wonderful.

But within a short while.

Her cell phone rang, it was Colin calling.

Violet was stunned and looked at the caller ID blankly. This thing must have run out of power, and there was no signal at all in this apocalypse.

She only kept it as a souvenir, and there was still some data in it.

She didn't know how she turned on the phone, but with an inexplicable force, she answered the call and blankly put the speaker to her ear.

Colin's voice came from inside.

No nonsense.

"I have a hunch."

"you know."
