928 The Elegy of the Undead! (1/2)
”Ah~”
It was a song without lyrics.
A song sung with a pure and ethereal voice seemed to have reached the deepest part of everyone's soul. Those around the ruins of Huangliang City were fascinated by this voice. This ethereal and sad singing voice sounded so clear in the ruins.
Is this song to memorialize the dead?
It seemed to be so.
Some people looked relieved.
However, their expression changed quickly. The ruins of Huangliang City actually began to shake violently akin to aftershocks after a disaster.
”What is happening?”
”What is going on?”
Everyone was in deep shock.
”An aftershock?”
”No, look over there!” An esper exclaimed, pointing excitedly somewhere among the ruins where a figure was climbing out of the ruins with difficulty.
”This is...”
”There is someone alive!”
”There are actually still someone alive in the ruins of Huangliang City!”
Everyone was ecstatic.
Being alive was hope itself.
If someone was alive, doesn't that mean that their family may still be alive? Having such a thought, everyone became excited and rushed towards that man. Even several reporters from the news agency rushed there to be the first ones to interview him.
”Hello, are you from here?”
”How did you survive?”
”Did you get injured? I can help you call the ambulance.”
Before that man came out, this group of reporters already threw countless questions.
”Go away!”
Several espers made their move as they were about to drive away these restless reporters. Suddenly, a black light flashed past, and that man climbed up from below.
Swish!
One row of heads flew away with faces still of excitement.
Near Huangliang City, the people preparing to go over there trembled, looking at this scene in horror. What did they just see? That figure that just came out went to kill all the reporters that went to interview him?!
”Be careful.”
”Don't go near.”
”To be able to survive such an attack, he must be a peerless powerhouse or even a world esper. Such a person, even if he's seriously injured, he's still not someone any ordinary man can deal with.”
The crowd engaged in a heated discussion.
”I'll go and have a look.”
A world esper frowned for a bit and walked over there. Powerful Rule Force floated around him, ”Are you alright?”
No one responded.
Everyone around looked at this scene nervously.
Su Hao and Zheng Tai glanced at each other. Vaguely, they could have guessed already. If the legend, if.... it's really that song! Then they were almost certain what would happen next.
”Hey!” That world esper shouted again.
The man still looked down and was not moving as if he couldn't hear at all. Su Hao and Zheng Tai squeezed their hands subconsciously. Meanwhile, Zheng Tai's face was somewhat pale.
”Should we remind him?” Zheng Tai had a very bad hunch.
”No need.” Su Hao calmly replied, ”This is just our own suspicion. To remind him at this time, no one would take us seriously. If something goes wrong, they will come and blame us for not telling them early, pushing all the responsibility to us. For example, the death of those reporters earlier.”
Su Hao's eyes looked cold.
Being outside for so many years, he had long gotten used to this kind of thing.
In the era of origin ability, being kind could easily become the target of blame.
Both hid themselves again.
As expected, the world esper gradually approached the man who crawled out and got attacked when he was within three meters from that man.
”Humph, just as I expected.” That world esper sneered, ”I have long guessed it.”
Boom!
His Rule Force shook.
Two different forces confronted each other in the air. The man who attacked was obviously weaker, which might be due to his injury. That world esper's attack hit his target. Then, he looked at that man with a smirk, ”Your strength isn't bad, but for everyone...”
'”Pftt-”
A pair of black claws passed through his body.
The pain felt by that world esper suddenly intensified as he looked down in disbelief. Looking at the claws that weren't the shape of a human's in his chest, he turned around only to find out a dark shadow standing behind him. That claws actually came from him.
”You...”
That world esper looked distant. That man who got repelled by him was still there and now this... Where did he come from? What actually happened?
”Claws...”
”Black... It turned out not to be the trace from the explosion, but...”
”Hehe...”
”You're...”
Poof~
That world esper fell to the ground and died.
Swish!
The surrounding crowd had a huge shock.
The black shadow flickered. Just when they thought that the world esper had won, they never thought that another figure would appear to kill that world esper.
”What... what's happening?”
”Not sure.”
”Why did they attack?”
”Don't know, could they be former fugitives?”
