I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 243 Eternal Farewell

"Huo Xiu Ze" raised one corner of his mouth and smiled stiffly. At this moment, his eyes were completely covered in darkness.

Si Lin murmured to himself: "You really..."

The next second, Huo Xiu Ze's arm suddenly mutated and attacked Si Lin directly, mechanically shouting, "Go to hell!"

Si Lin stepped back, then quickly swung his sword.

However, when the sword blade hit the mutant arm, the black substance on it suddenly changed its form and turned into something like black quicksand, instantly engulfing the sword blade.

Si Lin exerted force in his hand and swung the sword with all his strength, and the sword broke directly, and he also took a step back at the same time.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, he was slightly distracted. At this moment, "Huo Xiu Ze"'s attack came in an instant, and the black quicksand seemed to have life, approaching him rapidly.

At the critical moment, Si Lin dodged and the black substance hit the wall behind him. The huge impact force and destructive power instantly created a big hole in the wall.

The commotion here soon attracted the attention of other rebels, and soon a large crowd gathered outside the central building. However, no one thought of rushing in at this time.

They all had an expression of watching a good show on their faces, and some even started betting on whether the mouse that dared to break into their boss's room would be chopped into pieces.

Inside the building, Si Lin kept dodging and evading. As the attack of the black substance became more and more fierce, the whole room soon turned into ruins.

Looking at the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, a flash of determination passed through Si Lin's eyes. After escaping from the encirclement of the black substance again, he took out a dark green injection from his waist and then pounced towards "Huo Xiu Ze".

At the same time, a long sword appeared in his right hand again. When his wrist turned, all the black matter blocking his eyes was cut off.

Although the severed black matter would soon merge back together, Si Lin's sword-swinging speed was much faster than their "healing" speed.

In a blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of "Huo Xiu Ze".

Si Lin raised the injection in his hand and was about to stab it into "Huo Xiu Ze's" neck, but at this moment the corner of "Huo Xiu Ze's" mouth suddenly twitched strangely.

Then one could see with the naked eye that his other hand instantly turned into a sharp spike, pointing directly at Si Lin's heart.

Si Lin sensed the danger, but he did not dodge. Instead, he resolutely inserted the needle into "Huo Xiu Ze's" neck.

At the same time, the spikes pierced directly through his body.

Blood slid from the corner of Si Lin's mouth, but he smiled.

"Huo Xiu Ze" seemed to be distracted for a moment as he looked at his face, but it was only a split second, and then he returned to his original numbness and coldness.

But at this time, Si Lin, who thought he had succeeded, suddenly noticed something strange about his subordinates and his face changed.

It turned out that at the moment when the needle pierced Huo Xiu Ze's neck, a layer of hard keratinized membrane strangely appeared on his neck, and the needle tip did not penetrate his skin at all.

The next moment, the piece of skin touched by the needle tip suddenly sprouted dense thorns like a thorn bush.

Si Lin watched helplessly as the sharp spikes crushed the syringe and then pierced his palm.

The medicine mixed with his blood and dripped all over the floor, but he didn't feel any pain at the moment.

He just stared blankly at the pool of liquid. At this moment, the spikes on "Huo Xiu Ze"'s neck suddenly retracted, but Si Lin's hand remained the same.

Si Lin swallowed the blood rising in his throat, closed his eyes, and a tear slowly slid down from the corner of his eye.

Now the only potion was broken, and in the end... he still couldn't call back his god.

When he opened his eyes again, a smile appeared on Si Lin's face, very faint but deep enough.

It was hard to tell whether it was self-mockery or relief. He held the sharp thorn with one hand, endured the pain of being pierced, and moved closer to Huo Xiu Ze.

Finally, he leaned close to Huo Xiuze's ear and whispered softly, "I never regret anything in the past."

After saying this, he stepped back a little, wanting to take one last look at the face that he was so attached to.

Si Lin's gaze slowly swept across Huo Xiu Ze's face, as if he wanted to engrave the other person's appearance into his soul, and as if he was saying goodbye to the past.

At this moment, his eyes were very gentle, full of love and relief: Huo Xiu Ze, now... I can finally let you go.

Then he raised his bloody hand, wanting to touch the face one last time, but when he was about to touch it, his arm suddenly dropped and he closed his eyes forever.

At this moment, Huo Xiu Ze, who had been completely controlled, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Then he began to feel extremely painful, and a ferocious look appeared on his face, as if he was struggling with something.

The black color that originally occupied his eyeballs slowly faded away, and was finally replaced by a blood red.

At this moment, his hands returned to normal, and Si Lin's body lost support and fell into his arms.

The painful Huo Xiu Ze instinctively caught him, and they both fell to the ground. Then the next moment Huo Xiu Ze began to beat his head frantically, emitting a heart-wrenching cry.

"what!!!!!!!"

The huge energy instantly razed the entire central building to the ground.

-

“A Yuan!!”

Qi Yan sat up from the bed at once, and before his eyes could focus, he began to look around, his eyes full of fear.

Huo Linyuan, who had just pushed the door open, heard his voice and hurried over.

Sitting on the bed, he pressed Qi Yan's shoulder with one hand and touched Qi Yan's cheek with the other, and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Qi Yan didn't say anything, but just stared at him intently, and it seemed that she had not yet come out of the dream.

It was only then that Huo Linyuan realized that he was actually trembling slightly.

Huo Linyuan hugged Qi Yan in his arms with a distressed look, and stroked his hair with one hand while gently patting his back with the other, repeatedly and patiently whispering to him, "It's okay, it was a dream, I'm here."

After a long time, Qi Yan gradually came to consciousness. He buried his head in Huo Linyuan's shoulder, feeling his body temperature, but the next moment he burst into tears uncontrollably.

This dream was so real, as if it had happened.

In the dream, the evil Huo Xiu Ze dragged Huo Linyuan and fell into the abyss burning with blazing flames.

Qi Yan watched helplessly but could do nothing. The despair and suffocation almost tore him apart.

"Can we not go to Andromeda?" Qi Yan's muffled voice came through the clothes.

Huo Linyuan was a little surprised when he heard this. He stepped back a little and looked at Qi Yan's face. Only then did he realize that Qi Yan was actually crying.

He used his fingertips to wipe away the tears from the corners of Qi Yan's eyes: "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Qi Yan looked into his eyes and pursed her lips, but finally said, "When we get there, you must stay with me."

Huo Linyuan helped him wipe the tears from his cheeks and joked, "Going to the toilet, too?"

Qi Yan frowned, her expression extremely serious: "Promise me."

"Okay, I promise. I won't let myself out of your sight then."

After that, Huo Linyuan kissed his forehead gently: "I promise not to hurt myself or let any accidents happen, believe me, ok?"

Qi Yan hugged him tightly, buried her face in his arms, and said nothing.

Out of the instinct to avoid danger, Qi Yan's first reaction was to escape, but he also knew that escape would not solve any problems at all.

So in the following days, he spent most of his time "locked" himself in the laboratory, preparing for what was to come.
