Chapter 130 Dark Flash
He didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
In the darkness, it was impossible to distinguish the directions of east, west, south, and north.
He did things solely by sheer willpower.
Golden energy began to gather towards him in large quantities, gradually paving the way forward into a series of star-shaped directional markers, indicating the direction for his escape.
In the darkness, these substances transformed through the monster's body seemed to possess a personal will.
Li Can was astonished; it seemed that what they were doing was being manipulated by someone.
His gaze pierced through the dense layers of black particles, lingering on the mangled monster.
"Could it be that the monsters have now mastered how to use them, turning passivity into initiative, and can even load their consciousness into them..." Such thoughts flashed through Li Can's mind.
There couldn't be a more reasonable outcome right now.
The separation of the human body from the consciousness was not a rare research topic on Earth in the past.
Without wasting any time, Li Can led the group forward in one go, following the arrow pointing ahead.
He was only the size of an ordinary cat or dog at this moment, and he was struggling to drag the little monster's body, which was still constantly transforming like bacterial spores.
The granular matter that filled the space was like both a solid and a liquid, and he stumbled along with each step.
The energy and particles have a backward pulling attraction, and its path in the opposite direction is full of resistance.
Despite her despair, Li Can maintained a glimmer of optimism, and her overall spirits were high.
Amidst the swirling sand, he squinted, draped the little monster's arms over his shoulders, gripped them tightly, and began to run forward with his head down.
He can't release other creatures from the gacha at will right now. If he could, he would have wanted the puppet to carry him away long ago.
The golden energy could only barely form a thin barrier around him, and it was likely to collapse at any moment if he moved around too much.
Releasing them now would only add to the death count, like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.
It's completely useless and a waste of time.
"Why is it so far?"
This is the longest road Li Can has ever walked in his life.
Not long ago, the little monster didn't venture very far into this area in his flying vehicle...
He tried to look back at the road he had come from, but there was nothing there; it blended into the surroundings.
The only variable is on our side; all the anomalies revolve around the little monster.
The rate at which energy surged within him was accelerating.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
The world seemed to have been put on accelerator.
Once detached from the monster's body, Li Can resembled a tiny sprite floating in the void.
In the instant he stood still, the darkness before him vanished, replaced by a burst of light.
He saw himself, step by step, dragging his broken body to the riverbank, where he leaped into the rushing river.
The river water washed over their bodies, tumbling and cleansing them.
Long, golden ribbons stretched out from the black sky, graceful as swimming dragons, playing with them in the water.
Finally, they carried the people ashore and, like drying salted fish, turned them over from time to time, even though they had been unconscious for a long time.
Then, time began to jump.
After resting and recuperating, the little monster pushed open an old wooden door, which was his former residence in the city where humans once lived.
The camera panned downwards, and Li Can saw four dwarfs in the scene.
They look exactly like the little monsters.
He noticed that some of the people dressed in a more feminine style, until the chattering sounds of human conversation reached his ears...
"That is...that is us?" Li Can's throat went dry for a moment.
He heard the voices of the four of them.
The four dwarfs perfectly corresponded to their identities.
They followed the tall little monster, settled their luggage, and began to wander into the city.
Everyone's face was beaming with joy, and everything seemed to freeze in that moment.
The scene flashed again, and the little monster's previously happy expression transformed into terror, panic, and anger...
He stood before the corpses of the dead dwarves scattered on the ground, heartbroken and weeping bitterly.
He knelt on the ground, his head bowed as required by the butcher's procedure, a sharp spear poised to be aimed at his chest.
Without a chance to catch his breath, the spear pierced his heart in an instant, and blood gushed out.
In the distance, a tall plaque on the city gate reads: "Defective Products Disposal Center".
And a promotional banner: "Dear ladies and gentlemen of perfect humanity, enter the lower city through this passage and freely experience all aspects of life. You will be the master here."
It would be an honor for them to die by your hand.
Welcome to the Lower City.
The butcher spat out a mouthful of phlegm, withdrew the spear from his body, and paid no heed to the mangled flesh and blood.
"Damn it, why are there so many monsters, such a bizarre mix..."
The little monster's blood-red eyes were fixed on the human figures coming and going at the city gate in the distance.
His face was pressed to the side on the muddy ground, and a tear of blood slowly slid down from the corner of his eye.
There, Li Can caught a glimpse of two familiar figures.
Huang Xiaoqi linked arms with Xing Dazhuang, and the two chatted and laughed as they stepped into what was then the lower city.
As the gates opened and closed, the city was revealed to be in complete disarray, with the people crying out in agony and suffering immensely.
Well-dressed noble ladies and gentlemen trampled another race of humans underfoot, enjoying the unrestrained act of kneeling in worship.
Like a slideshow, the images flashed by again.
This time, the situation is very different.
Li Can saw that the little monster who hadn't died was sitting perfectly fine in a large hall.
The room was eerily empty; the sound of the recording pen was playing back in his hand, vibrating in circles.
He was extremely familiar with the surroundings this time; it was the place where he had committed suicide and collapsed on the day the city lord's mansion was stained with blood.
"So that's how it is..." Everything was sped up tenfold by an invisible hand, appearing before Li Can's eyes in an instant before quickly disappearing.
Through the "past future," Li Can is able to confirm that Xiao Guai did not initially intend to become a city lord.
If the four people on your side escape from this accident, the following situation will occur:
All four separated completely from the monster's body, appearing as miniature, shrunken versions of the monster.
He naturally cherished these "family members" who were born from his own womb.
So after returning to the human-inhabited cities, various events broke out, the perfect humans regained their rule, and launched a campaign of revenge and elimination against the defective products and the "incongruous monsters".
Along with the four "dwarfs" they had transformed into, they were the first to die under the iron-fisted policy.
This is why, even though the little monster has blood that is half perfect and half defective, it still stood on the side of the defective race without hesitation in the end.
It wasn't because of any family righteousness.
The most basic and simple logic is that his relatives died in the process of the reform of the perfect man, and were not tolerated by the times.
So the monsters that survived the spear punishment launched a counterattack and retaliated...
Until now, the two levels have been reversed, and the upper and lower cities have been successfully established.
When Li Can's gaze cleared again, he saw that he was still standing in the same place.
