Chapter 456 Framing
Mei Lin liked this scene.
The reason he didn't let Jiao Jiao die immediately was because he wanted to see Xu Si suffer.
The more pain Xu Si felt, the more relieved he felt of his hatred.
Xu Si knelt on the ground, which was a mixture of gravel and mud, holding Jiao Jiao in his arms.
Her body was very light, as light as a fallen leaf dampened by rain.
The fine cracks spread outwards from her chest, like a piece of shattered porcelain that had been pieced back together, ready to crumble again at any moment.
Yi Yi cried as she crawled out of Xu Si's body, ignoring Xu Si's injuries, and poured all her healing power into Jiao Jiao's broken body.
"Red Hair, it hurts so much."
Jiao Jiao's voice was barely audible, and her usually bright eyes were now covered with a fine layer of bloodshot lines.
She could barely make out Xu Si's appearance anymore.
"Jiao Jiao, Jiao Jiao..."
Su Su stumbled and fell from the cloud, kneeling beside Xu Si. She reached out to touch Jiao Jiao's face, but her hand stopped in mid-air.
She didn't dare.
"Auntie! Am I going to die?" Jiao Jiao tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to force a smile, but it was too difficult!
"No, don't speak yet." Su Su's pale face couldn't hide the tears streaming down her face.
"Xu Si, I like you so much! Do you like me too?"
"I love it! I love it!"
"But why are you so annoying?"
A wisp of white light from Jiao Jiao's fingertip flowed into Xu Si's body.
嫁祸
This is the second time she has used the "scapegoating" trait.
This is also the last time.
Xu Si's pupils suddenly contracted.
He could feel the fascia torn apart by the Mei Lin magic array, the shattered bones, and the chaotic sequence of energy within his body.
It was as if an invisible hand had peeled it from her body, and the faint white light from Jiao Jiao's fingertips flowed continuously into her broken body.
"No, don't!" The white light at Jiao Jiao's fingertips flashed and disappeared in the rain, like a firework burning out its last spark.
Her broken body began to disintegrate at an irreversible rate.
The injuries transferred from Xu Si were like a flood that burst its banks, instantly destroying her already fragile lifeline.
Cracks spread rapidly from her chest outwards, across her collarbone, up her neck, and down to her jaw.
Her skin was like a crumpled and torn piece of Xuan paper; what peeked through the dark red cracks was not blood, but a faint white halo that was fading away.
The brilliance of the "scapegoating" characteristic faded in the rain.
Jiao Jiao's broken body calmed down in Xu Si's arms. The fine cracks stopped spreading, and the dark red fissures stopped expanding.
Xu Si only had time to slowly wrap her body with layers of ice crystals condensed from the [Heart of the Ice Abyss].
Jiao Jiao's face was clearly visible beneath the ice, with cracks etched on her brow, cheeks, and jaw, resembling a bizarre totem painted with blood.
The corners of her mouth still held a slight upward curve, as if she wanted to smile at Xu Si, but that smile was forever frozen at the moment it was about to burst forth.
"Jiao Jiao..." Su Su's voice whimpered from deep in her throat.
"Jiao Jiao, my sister!" The group from Tashan seemed to realize something and froze completely.
Everything happened too fast.
No one expected that Jiao Jiao would give Xu Si a final chance to turn the tables with her own life.
Mei Lin looked down at the scene from mid-air, a faint smile still playing on his lips.
"A touching scene!"
"Unfortunately, in this world, feelings are the most useless thing."
He raised his right hand, and a ball of crimson-gold magic light shone from his fingertips.
"Now, I'll send you on your way!"
He originally wanted to torture Xu Si again and again with other people, but after this incident, he lost interest.
Yi Yi's tears were still flowing.
She had come to understand what life and death meant. From beginning to end, Jiao Jiao had the highest level of affection for Xu Si, and naturally, she also had the highest level of affection for Yi Yi.
So if we're talking about who I like the most, it's definitely Jiao Jiao.
She stood beside Xu Si, her small palms pressed against the surface of the ice crystals. Her life affinity was activated to the extreme, and warm currents surged into the ice layer, trying to awaken the lifeless body.
But she couldn't feel anything.
Jiao Jiao's life force had been completely extinguished, leaving not even an ember.
All her vitality was transferred to Xu Si's body the moment the "framing" trait was activated.
She truly traded her own life, which was not yet sixteen, for Xu Si's life.
"Su Su, take her away."
Su Su knelt in the mud, her whole body trembling.
She reached out and took the body encased in ice crystals from Xu Si's arms.
The icy touch seeped into her skin through her clothes, making her teeth chatter, but she didn't let go.
"Walk."
Xu Si repeated the word.
Su Su stood up, holding Jiao Jiao who was wrapped in ice crystals, and retreated step by step towards the edge of the battlefield.
Mei Lin watched calmly, without making any attempt to stop him.
Even now, he still thinks Xu Si is a fish on his chopping board.
Xu Si slowly stood up.
His movements were slow, as slow as a corpse that had just crawled out of its grave.
His knees lifted from the mud, his spine straightened vertebra by vertebra, and his bones made a series of soft cracking sounds.
That wasn't the friction of joints, but rather the reconnection of shattered bones under the pull of stellar energy, and the healing of torn fascia under the nurturing influence of life's affinity.
Yi Yi stood beside him, tears streaming down her face, leaving two white streaks on her cheeks.
But she didn't cry out again.
Because she sensed that the injuries in Xu Si's body that had been transferred away by the "framing" were healing at an incredible speed.
It's not the gentle, gradual healing process, but a violent, almost frantic self-repair.
At the same time, the star core spun wildly deep within its consciousness, its crimson light like that of a star about to explode as a supernova, releasing its long-accumulated energy without reservation.
The strange drops that Fu Xiaojian gave him, the energy cores that he hadn't had time to completely deplete.
At this moment, everything was absorbed, drawn in, and swallowed by the star core, like a meteor shower breaking into the star core's domain, ultimately transforming into the purest torrent of energy that surged and crashed through his body.
The sequence process is surging.
24.37% — 26.51% — 29.84% — 33.12%
The rate of bizarre erosion is also soaring.
15.4% — 15.7% — 16.1% — 16.5%
The numbers flashed through Xu Si's mind, but he didn't pay them any attention.
He looked down at his hands.
The wounds on his palms, torn by Mei Lin's magic array, had healed, and the new skin shone with a faint scarlet glow, like a thin layer of armor.
He clenched his fist, and his bones cracked.
Then he looked up.
The crimson light deep within those twin pupils was no longer restrained as before, but burst forth without reservation, like two pillars of lava shooting out from the depths of the earth.
Mei Lin's smile froze on her face.
He sensed something was wrong.
Xu Si's aura changed.
It's not an increase in quantity, but a leap in quality.
The feeling was as if he was no longer facing a Sequence 6 superhuman, but a burning star, an unstoppable meteor falling from the depths of the universe to the world.
"That's impossible," Mei Lin said in a low voice, his voice showing a hint of wavering and trembling for the first time.
He was once a Sequence 7, and he knew better than anyone where the limits of Sequence 6 lay.
However, the aura that Xu Si was exhibiting at this moment had already exceeded the scope of Sequence 6 in his understanding.
