Chapter 1201: Ignorance
Apple Island, Dongyu District.
The explosion laid waste to the island. Under the white moon, the lingering flames clustered like monochrome flowers. The only bright color amid the purgatory was a golden phone booth, unconnected to the rest of the world and unable to reach anyone.
The Absolute Barrier shattered into flying golden particles. Adept Horse stilled like a statue, while Chen Ying slumped on the ground.
After a silent moment, Adept Horse sighed. “I think it’s fair to say that I understand how you’re feeling, Chen Ying, but we have business to take care of.”
Chen Ying stayed unmoving with her head downcast.
Adept Horse urged, “Get yourself together, Chen Ying. Check if Greed is dead with Sensory. The Battle of the Curtain Call isn’t over yet.”
Chen Ying remained unresponsive.
Adept Horse hesitated and crouched down to place a hand on her shoulder. “Chen Ying—”
He felt a shudder and moved to pull his hand back, but it was too late. Dominating power crept up on him, piercing his blood, flesh, mind, consciousness, and even soul like tens of thousands of threads. He lost everything that made up himself.
Greed is still alive!
That was Adept Horse’s last thought.
