Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Cheng Yao from the old world.

Clad in crimson, her killing intent as deep as the abyss.

Her scarlet eyes held the weight of sixteen years of hardship and resolute determination.

She was completely different from Cheng Yao in the new world.

"Have you seen enough?" Cheng Yao raised an eyebrow and took half a step forward.

Yu Mengnian immediately stepped in front of Su Ming and whispered a reminder: "Be careful, her condition is very unstable right now."

Su Ming frowned: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Yao took over the conversation herself, chuckling as she said, "What I mean is, in my current state, I could completely lose control at any moment and turn into a monster that only knows how to kill."

As she raised her hand, a wisp of crimson energy appeared in her palm.

The cyclone spun extremely fast, emanating a chilling aura, as if it might explode at any moment.

"The ability 'Killing Intent Slaughter Field' is actually quite simple to explain."

"The stronger the killing intent, the stronger the combat power, with no upper limit."

The crimson in her eyes deepened, like a dried-up sea of ​​blood: "But the problem is, killing intent can backfire."

"I've been killing here for sixteen years."

"I've killed so many ordinary people, mutated monsters, and awakened beings that I've lost count."

"With each battle, the killing intent deepens within me."

"Over the past sixteen years, the killing intent within me has accumulated to an extremely terrifying level."

She clenched her fist lightly, and the vortex in her palm suddenly exploded, turning into a circle of scarlet ripples that spread outwards.

The surrounding ruins were swept away by the ripples and silently turned to dust.

"Right now, I'm like a powder keg that could explode at any moment. If I get out of control, the people around me will be the first to suffer."

At this point, Cheng Yao turned to look at Su Ming, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

"So you'd better be careful."

"If I ever lose control, you might be the first person I kill."

Her tone was light and casual, as if she were making a joke.

But Su Ming couldn't see a trace of a smile in the depths of her eyes, only endless cruelty and a monstrous killing intent that was forcibly suppressed and on the verge of overflowing.

After a brief silence, Su Ming smiled and said, "You won't."

Hearing Su Ming's confident tone, Cheng Yao snorted coldly and, unusually, did not refute him.

Even she herself found it somewhat puzzling.

She is ruthless to the core, capable of killing anything in the world.

But when facing this young man, not a trace of hostility rose in his heart.

It's just to scare him at most.

But I haven't been forced to bind my favorability yet.

I don't know why.

All she knew was that if one day she truly lost control, her mind was consumed by murderous intent, and she became a monster who only knew how to kill.

The only one in the world who could reach out and pull her back from the abyss of blood was him.

Looking at Cheng Yao's expression, Su Ming finally understood why Xu Qinghe had deliberately made him the first person to see her.

Whether it was disfigurement or malicious intent, it was a turning point in Cheng Yao's fate.

Only before she falls into darkness can a seed be planted in her heart.

It was a seed called affection, which took root and sprouted for sixteen years, eventually turning into a rein.

When Cheng Yao loses control, Su Ming can use this rein to pull her back.

He was the only one who could control her.

Just then, an eerie, deathly silence inexplicably arose between heaven and earth.

Yu Mengnian's expression changed drastically.

Not only Yu Mengnian, but Su Ming and Cheng Yao were also suddenly stunned.

It's a very strange feeling.

I don't know how to describe it.

I just felt like something had disappeared.

Realizing what was happening, Su Ming said in a low voice, "The cleanup mechanism has started."

Cheng Yao, standing beside her, frowned and asked with a puzzled look, "What cleanup mechanism?"

Su Ming didn't have time to explain.

Because Yu Mengnian's condition was very abnormal at this time.

Her eyes widened, her pupils contracted sharply, as if she were staring directly at the most terrifying and mind-blowing sight in the world.

"You... stay away from me."

Her voice was trembling.

"quick!"

She shoved Su Ming hard, with astonishing force.

"Stay away from me!"

"The farther the better!"

Cheng Yao asked again, still puzzled, "What's wrong with her?"

Su Ming did not answer.

Because he wasn't sure either.

But he could sense that something was awakening from Yu Mengnian's body.

Yu Mengnian knelt on one knee, one hand supporting her firmly on the ground, the other hand tightly clutching the front of her clothes.

Her breathing became rapid and heavy, each exhale condensing into white frost in the air.

The ambient temperature is dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The dust on the surface of the ruins began to freeze, and tiny ice crystals spread along the rubble, making a crackling sound as they froze.

"Yu Mengnian!" Su Ming called out hurriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." Yu Mengnian's voice was broken, as if she was desperately suppressing something: "There...is...something...in my mind."

"It's that city."

"It's about to... come out."

Su Ming's pupils contracted.

Cheng Yao turned to look at him and asked for the third time, "What city?"

"The eternally silent city in the deep sea".

Su Ming's gaze was fixed on Yu Mengnian as he quickly explained, "That city will seal off all human imagination and variables."

"And Yu Mengnian's dream is itself the ultimate manifestation of human imagination."

"So she was the first target of the cleanup mechanism."

Cheng Yao didn't quite understand.

She didn't know what a cleanup mechanism was, but it didn't seem like a good thing.

Just then, Yu Mengnian floated uncontrollably in mid-air.

The next instant, her body was torn into countless pieces.

In an instant, countless fragments formed huge black vortexes that hovered above the ruins.

Ancient, gray stone pillars gradually emerged from the depths of the vortex.

"What is this thing?"

Cheng Yao tilted her head, unable to understand, but the murderous aura that had dissipated around her reappeared, transforming into a crimson wave that spread outwards.

Just as Cheng Yao was about to rush forward to fight, Su Ming grabbed her wrist.

"calm."

"Let's go first."

But how could Cheng Yao calm down?

In her current worldview, the concept of escape simply doesn't exist.

Living in the old world, no matter where you escape to, there is endless danger.

Her only way to survive was to kill anything that could threaten her.

Once she kills them all, she will be safe.

Moreover, her murderous intent, which had been building up for sixteen years, was already on the verge of spiraling out of control. This bizarre phenomenon that defied common sense was undoubtedly the strongest trigger, directly igniting the murderous aura that filled her.

The moment Su Ming grabbed her, she turned around sharply, her eyes reflecting nothing but mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

But when she saw Su Ming clearly, her murderous intent, which was about to overflow and get out of control, suddenly froze.

The boy in front of her was the only one she couldn't bring herself to kill.

"Come on, I'll explain it to you on the way."

Seeing that Cheng Yao didn't speak, Su Ming simply hoisted her onto his shoulder and ran wildly into the distance.

Yu Mengnian won't die that easily.

Yu Mengnian, with her rich emotions, is more terrifying than the indifferent Yu Mengnian.

Not to mention, Xu Qinghe and Chen Zhiwei were also watching her.

Just as Su Ming was carrying Cheng Yao and running wildly, a huge flower bud suddenly appeared behind them.

Immediately afterwards, the petals unfolded layer by layer, dark and eerie, and an endless sea of ​​flowers began to spread from the vortex of the stone pillar.

Every flower in the sea of ​​flowers is a flower of evil.

Xu Qinghe appeared.

Not only Xu Qinghe, but Su Ming also saw a pen falling from the sky.

The pen landed on the top of the huge stone pillar, as if trying to press it into the flat surface.

Large areas of space are gradually collapsing and sinking.

This must be the work of Chen Zhiwei.

Wen Qi once said that Chen Zhiwei had been trying every means to get closer to them for sixteen years.

Su Ming didn't know how she got close to him.

But if it were Chen Zhiwei, she could definitely do it.

In contrast, Cheng Yao, whom he was carrying on his shoulders, became increasingly unstable.

Her gaze was fixed on the collapsed space in the distance, her killing intent surging and boiling like a tsunami.

Even her weight is increasing wildly.

That wasn't her actual weight, but rather the physique accumulated from sixteen years of killing.

This intangible mass has now transformed into a tangible weight, which shows just how much killing intent Cheng Yao has accumulated.

Even Su Ming, whose physical strength exceeded 8,000, felt the strain.

He felt as if he was carrying not Cheng Yao on his shoulders, but a mountain like Mount Tai.

With each step, the ground beneath his feet shattered.

With each step, the weight on your shoulders increases even more than the previous one.

But he dared not abandon Cheng Yao.

Once she lets go, Cheng Yao will definitely rush over without hesitation.

Faced with the alienated Yu Mengnian, the unknown deep-sea city of eternal silence, and the pseudo-Heavenly Xu Qinghe and Chen Zhiwei.

Cheng Yao will definitely lose control completely.

"I see."

Su Ming cursed under his breath: "Xu Qinghe, I think your real purpose is to make me control Cheng Yao."

"Protection is just a side effect, isn't it?"

If the strategic weapon of the new world is the nuclear bomb.

Then the strategic weapon of the old world is definitely Cheng Yao on Su Ming's shoulder.

Its deterrent and destructive power is estimated to be ten thousand times more terrifying than that of a nuclear bomb.

After all, nuclear bombs have their limits, but Cheng Yao has no limits.

Cheng Yao, who was on his shoulder, could no longer speak. The last trace of clarity in her scarlet eyes was about to disappear, leaving only a beastly ferocity.

A low, suppressed growl escaped from deep within her throat, her body twisting and struggling violently as she tried to break free from Su Ming's shoulder.

Several times, it almost broke free from Su Ming's shoulder and fell.

Su Ming roared in anger.

"Can't you just behave yourself?"

"Now is not the time for fighting."

"They won't pose a threat to you for the time being."

Ugh, don't tell me.

With a roar, Cheng Yao became much more obedient, and even her weight seemed to decrease.

The surging violence in his eyes subsided somewhat, revealing a sliver of clarity. He turned and glared fiercely at Su Ming: "You dare to yell at me?"

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now."

Su Ming glared back defiantly: "Come on, go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

"You really think I wouldn't dare?"

"Then do it."

"I'll kill you right now."

"Okay, I'll wait."
