170 Ultimate Vision (2/2)
”It's actually me who should be sorry. This place will only continue to get worse and more challenging. You could live a happy life yet now it will be filled with death,” Wuxing explained quietly but Scarlet's expression didn't change.
She fixed the strain of blonde hair that fell on her eye and placed it behind her ear only to confess what she felt. ”I'm fine with that. I am happy to follow wherever you go because I like you.”
She didn't wait for his response but instead unwrapped her chocolate and put it in front of his face. ”Say ahh~”
He couldn't help but take a big bite as Scarlet put the chocolate inside his mouth but still didn't leave the conversation as it is. ”Scarlet, you know I have Dongmei. I love her and I'm not going to have similar feelings to anyone as much as I do for her,” Wuxing described, already prepared for her to feel down yet she placed the chocolate in his hand with a smile.
”It's okay. As long as you let me stay by your side, I will be happy. My life was in a bad place but since I met you, everything changed. My brother can have a bright future now and I got to experience so many new things. I can't be more thankful to you,” Scarlet replied honestly before glancing at the body next to them and shivered. ”Though, I will never like dead bodies…”
Wuxing followed her gaze and realized the body of the bald man was still there. ”Oh, I forgot,” Wuxing slapped his forehead and walked up to the man to drag him away from the girls. His blood would probably bring them troubles as mutated beasts seemed to be common in this Island. He didn't know how far they could smell him.
After he left, Scarlet looked at Dongmei and muttered quietly, ”You are lucky to have him… Don't worry, I won't steal him away… Just let me be around him and I will be satisfied...”
She didn't know that the whole time the two were talking, Dongmei was actually listening to their conversation. Her brain was hyperactive, undergoing a special mutation that improved her capabilities to its limits. Dongmei was only temporarily immobilized but it didn't mean her senses were turned off.
'Ah, to think Scarlet also likes my man. It's starting to get complicated,' Dongmei lamented to herself, knowing the number was increasing fast. She wasn't too worried about Scarlet as Dongmei knew she was telling the truth. Scarlet was too innocent to fight with her over a man but Anna was different.
'Maybe I should keep him away from Anna?' Dongmei contemplated, already knowing Anna's feelings for Wuxing.
'You will worry about that later.' Layla stopped her thoughts and asked, 'Are you ready for the last step? We are almost done.'
'Mhmm, do it. I want to see everything,' Dongmei replied firmly.
'Your wish is my command,'
Just as Layla said her last word, Dongmei's brain suddenly exploded with pain and her mind felt as if broken to thousands of small pieces.
”Ahh!” Dongmei screamed horribly, causing Scarlet to turn pale and catch Dongmei's hands in worry. ”Dongmei! Hang on!”
Wuxing immediately dropped the body and rushed towards them as soon as he could.
Dongmei could see him. Without opening her eyes, each piece of her mind began leaving her head and spread in their surroundings, visualizing the view for her. She felt as if her mind turned into thousands of small drones, each giving her a different scenery that later connected into one giant map inside her head. The further they spread, the bigger the map.
She could see everything.
Small ants that carried food to their anthill or a bird that just flew by, curiously glancing at them with its eyes.
Everything was beautifully visualized for her as if she was right next to it.
'Now try to call back your mind. Don't spread them too far for the first time,' Layla advised, feeling Dongmei's curiosity and she followed it, thinking of returning. As if each piece of mind was connected, they map stated shrinking back before forming into one whole piece back in her head.
'Amazing…' Dongmei muttered, finding it too good to be true.
'Well done Dongmei, you evolved successfully. Your new ability, I called it Ultimate Vision.'
