Chapter 392 - 129: Before Twelfth Month, 18
When his vision cleared, Jiang Si looked at the ground covered with Disaster Beast corpses.
He was on a road, and this road seemed somewhat familiar.
Was it Beihai?
This road to the school, he was quite familiar with, often jogging there.
But clearly, due to the intense battle with the Disaster Beasts, many trees, along with utility poles and street lamps, had been broken.
Even a Disaster Beast had crashed into the school.
But there was no one.
No one was in the school, nor on the road.
And even in the shattered residential buildings, not a single person could be seen.
As he walked forward, he could see a Disaster Beast that had smashed into a residential building, split in two, swinging on the street lamp.
Jiang Si slowly walked forward, subconsciously heading home, suddenly looking back.
A girl was hopping and skipping over the Disaster Beast corpses, following him.
He stopped as he turned back.
"An Shiyu?"
Why couldn’t he sense any aura?
The other person was merely a sprouting-level Magical Girl...
An Shiyu seemed somewhat surprised as she looked at him, "Are you okay?"
"What?"
"Your complexion seems a bit off."
Jiang Si touched his mask, "How can you tell?"
"Breathing, and also, judging..."
Rubbing his temples, Jiang Si felt like he’d just gone through something troublesome.
However, he couldn’t quite remember it at the moment.
"In the Heart Image Remains of a Full Bloom Magical Girl, the rules of the world are different from the outside."
An Shiyu said softly, "Sometimes what you see may not be real, and simultaneously, it may not be an illusion."
"Oh."
Jiang Si responded casually, not paying much mind, casually grabbing a lunging Disaster Beast and pinning it to the ground.
The Disaster Beast struggled wildly, and Jiang Si casually punched its head.
When the head exploded, no Seed of Sorrow jumped out.
Scratching his head, Jiang Si puzzledly asked, "A-level Disaster Beast?"
In his impression, only A-level Disaster Beasts had no Seed of Sorrow.
"It’s obviously not."
An Shiyu shook her head, "These are Mirror Beasts."
Jiang Si nodded, in terms of strength, it indeed seemed different from A-level Disaster Beasts, a bit weaker.
Currently, in his untransformed state, only using Filthy Magic Power, his strength barely steps across the threshold of Full Bloom.
Calling a quick kill an A-level Disaster Beast seemed a bit far-fetched.
Jiang Si didn’t have time to ask what Mirror Beasts were.
Because more and more Disaster Beasts began appearing around the city.
Giant serpents coiled buildings, rodent-like Disaster Beasts poking heads from underground, birds flying in the sky.
More insects and vines emerged from various places.
In no time, the entire Beihai turned into a Disaster Beast Purgatory.
Bzzzz, bzzzz...
Jiang Si shook his head, feeling discomfort in his ears.
The buzzing sound of these insects flowed past his ears like electrical currents.
It even spread throughout his body.
"Be careful..."
An Shiyu warned, as a branch suddenly sprang from the ground, whipping towards his forehead.
Casually grabbing the branch, he attempted to pull it up.
A sharp pain suddenly shot through his temple.
A wave of dizziness ensued.
A familiar yet extremely strange weakness spread throughout his body, momentarily leaving Jiang Si dazed.
The branch that emerged from the ground flung him out!
Something was wrong: strength, speed, reactions, even the rejection felt during magic supply...
Isn’t this his body?
Another Disaster Beast strike landed on him.
He clearly sensed the attack, relatively slow per usual standards.
He should’ve been able to dodge it, but when it actually came to his face, it still sent him flying.
He crashed into the glass, blood pouring from his forehead.
The most blood flowed from the temples.
Dazedly raising his head, his internal organs were all in pain.
Something was off with his body.
Trying to stand, he discovered his right leg was broken, glancing down.
Bandaged in gauze, like just out of the hospital, even his shoes were hospital slippers.
Why?
He coughed violently, even spitting blood.
It had been a long time since he felt this.
This feeling, death so close, seizing his throat, snarling violently at him.
Fumbling for his Miracle Seed, he found it was gone.
"In the Heart Image Remains of a Full Bloom Magical Girl."
An Shiyu spoke gently, "When you can’t distinguish reality, it gets swayed by your heart."
"Is there truly a Magical Girl in this world?"
Something echoed within his heart.
"Is there truly transcendent power in this world?"
Countless insects flew over, nearly engulfing him.
"Searching for so many years, always striving, yet never seen."
Numerous branches broke through the ground, binding him tightly.
"Actually, it’s all your fantasy before dying, isn’t it?"
"Imagining you obtained transcendent power."
"Imagining you truly walked the Heavenly Dao."
"Wake up!"
He opened his eyes.
"Bzzzz..."
He finally understood the buzzing sound.
It’s the sound of the medical machine.
Electric currents coursing through him, continuously stimulating his nerves.
"Increase the voltage!"
His body nearly sprang up from the bed.
"They said, reviving manages over a hundred million each..."
"Really about to shatter the darkness with thunder on us!"
