Chapter 65: Seed of Slaughter (IV)

He hadn’t died?

Qi Leren was so frightened that he was at a loss.

The wind poured in from the blasted iron wall, and the fresh but cold air from the high altitude quickly lowered the temperature in the cabin.

The cloaked man was everywhere. Those thorns on the ground slowly shrunk; most returned to his body, the rest were like a black python, cruising and crawling on the ground.

The cabin was silent, and the survivors looked at Qi Leren who had come back from the dead in astonishment, which was even more shocking than the murderer’s survival in the explosion.

Thump, thump, thump. His heart beat fast, his body was cramped with nerves, and he was stiff in the cold air.

He only had 30 seconds, and within these 30 seconds, he would either die or couldn’t die again.

The murderer’s burned face was naked - showing the burned muscles due to the explosion. He seemed to be laughing, without the cover of his lips, and white teeth were embedded in the dark red flesh, looking horrifying. With his smile, the thorns came crazily toward Qi Leren, and he rolled on the spot without thinking. Those thorns beat on the ground like waves, and one even nicked his arm, scraping off a large piece of skin and instantly pouring blood.

At this moment, Qi Leren unexpectedly calmed down, and the primary fighting skill equipped in the card slot gave play at this moment, so he narrowly escaped those crazy thorns and vines and approached the cloaked man.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flying thorn, watching the inevitable, and a figure flew out. The long stick in his hand hit the thorn, which gave Qi Leren a chance. Qi Leren didn’t even have time to look back at him, and his feet kept rushing towards the cloaked man.

There was another inescapable thorn, which stabbed him in the stomach like a sharp arrow. Qi Leren stared at the cloaked man who was less than half a meter away from him, and grabbed his clothes - the thorn passed through his belly, but failed to shake his strength to hold the cloaked man. He was not thrown off, and his other hand also held the cloaked man.

The setting sun was like blood, shining into the cabin from outside the broken wall. Qi Leren wanted to push hard and drag the murderer down from the blasted bulkhead.

The wound that pierced his abdomen was not judged by the S/L skill as fatal. Instead of being reloaded, he dragged the cloaked man and fell from the airship together…

Too high, too fast, and the wind was too fierce, Qi Leren simply couldn’t open his eyes, he just felt out of balance and kept falling.

The afterglow of the setting sun hung over the sea where the airship flew. His eyes were closed, but the golden red light still passed through the thin eyelids and came to his retinas. It was like a glowing red sea of fire, so vast and magnificent, and every knife cut on his skin was so sharp that the pain was like being burned.

For a moment, he thought he was falling into a lake of fire in hell, and the golden sunset was an eternal industrial fire burning in hell. The cloaked man who was grabbed by him struggled hard, and the thorns running through Qi Leren’s belly twisted crazily, but they could not stop the two from falling out of control.

To die together.

Once again, Qi Leren returned to the save point, his legs so soft that he almost fell down. The people around him gave him a quick hand. He murmured a thank you in a cold sweat and sat down on the chair.

Outside the cabin wall that had been blasted by the miniature bomb, the golden sunset gazed gently at the survivors. They looked in amazement at Qi Leren who had come back from the dead twice in a row, but he was too immersed in the instantaneous death just now.

Although it is not as high as an airplane, it made no difference whether it was the sea or the ground below when falling from this height. In an instant, it turned a living person to a mass of meat sludge. Fortunately, this kind of death was fast enough and direct enough. It was much simpler than a soft knife to cut meat. It was just that the feeling of falling briefly before death made Qi Leren instinctively feel scared, completely out of control, unable to stop and powerless.

“Amazing, outstanding determination and courage. That we can survive from the madman who started killing wildly was thanks to you.” The man who gave him a hand just now clapped his hands, and Qi Leren noticed that he was the one who had just blocked the thorns with a long stick.

The surviving people in the cabin also clapped their hands one after another. Surrounded by applause, Qi Leren was a little embarrassed. He whispered to the man near him about the killing: “I just heard someone say that that person’s seed of slaughter had awakened. What does that mean?”

The man arched his eyebrows: “Are you new?”

“…Well, I haven’t been here long.” Qi Leren gave a wry smile.

“As a newcomer, you are already very good. Most of the people in the ship are old players, and they still weren’t able to turn the tide. Haha, sometimes luck is more important than strength here.” The man laughed, “Oh yes, my name is Luo Yishan, and I’ve been here for about half a year.”

“Hello, my name is Qi Leren. Thank you just now. If you hadn’t helped me fend off the thorns, I’m afraid I probably wouldn’t be able to chat with you here now.” Qi Leren didn’t say when he came in, so he thanked Luo Yishan for his help just now.

Luo Yishan looks like a well-built young man. He was powerful and straightforward at first glance.

“Don’t mention it. It’s a pity that you couldn’t help everyone…” Luo Yishan sighed and glanced at the mess on the ground.

Qi Leren also looked at the devastated cabin, with tables and chairs swept by thorns everywhere. More than a dozen bodies were lying on the ground. Several surviving players were moving the bodies and putting them together. Several friends of the dead stood beside the bodies to mourn, and several women sobbed.

There was no need to say any more about the damage on the wall. Such a big hole made the temperature in the cabin plummet. He didn’t feel it in the critical moment just now. Now as he calmed down, he began to shake. He rummaged through the system inventory and finally put on Ning Zhou’s coat.

The dying sunset lingered near sea level, sending a brilliant golden light, which shines brightly, but it was still so cold.

“Xiao Qi, are you from the Vatican?” Luo Yishan suddenly asked.

Qi Leren looked at him blankly: “Huh?”

“Isn’t this the symbol of the Vatican?” Luo Yishan said, pointing to the insignia at the collar of his coat.

Qi Leren turned up the collar of his coat, and sure enough, there was a logo embroidered in gold thread, which looked quite abstract. At the bottom, it seemed to be a demon with horns, while at the top, there was a cross with a crown: “Is this the symbol of the Vatican? Sorry, I don’t know, this jacket isn’t mine … ”

“Oh, I thought you were a member of the Vatican. I heard that the headquarters of the Vatican moved to Neverland at the north pole after the demons’ invasion. It’s cold enough to freeze penguins to death there.” Luo Yishan suddenly told a cold joke, and he burst out laughing.

“…” The man’s laughing point was so low that Qi Leren just forced a laugh without words.

Neverland? Vatican? When he played “Nightmare Game”, the Vatican did exist, but he didn’t know exactly where it was. His understanding of the Vatican was also very limited. Although the main task did involve the Vatican, he even needed to go to the temple cathedral that was captured by the demons more than 20 years ago …

“About the seed of slaughter…” Qi Leren asked about the word he had just heard.

Luo Yishan gave him a dignified look and warned: “It’s not a good thing. Those who walk on this side of the road will not end well.”

The back of Qi Leren’s neck suddenly stung, and he touched the stabbing pain. The sharp pain disappeared like an illusion.

Several players sat down beside Qi Leren, and inquired about his skills in a beat around the bush. Qi Leren frowned impatiently and didn’t want to pay attention to this group of people. Finally, Luo Yishan gave the excuse that he needed a rest and let him lie in a chair to have a rest. Qi Leren was really tired. He just wanted to take a nap, but he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The airship had already started to land, and the swaying hull made people feel very uneasy. Passengers also sat down and held tables and chairs to avoid falling out.

With the whistle of the landing, the passengers walked down the cabin in twos and threes.

Qi Leren says goodbye to Luo Yishan, holding the handrail and getting off the airship.

Under the airship, Al, in uniform, stood there with his arms crossed. Several players were telling him about the accident on the airship. He nodded carelessly and toyed with the ring on his index finger. When Qi Leren came down, he immediately looked up and then came to him.

Qi Leren looked at him for a while, startled: “What’s the matter?”

Al looked him up and down. “Did you kill that garbage?”

“…Mn,” Qi Leren answered

Al’s lazy attitude seems to be slightly corrected. He glanced at Qi Leren: “Very good, come with me.”

“Where?” Qi Leren asked.

“Court. Congratulations, your movements are restricted from today on,” Al answered coldly.
