Chapter 1274 636: Enlightenment (Part 2)
Everyone is dead!
Even the blood hasn't clotted yet...
"Just died recently."
Ji Jue bent down, picked up an overturned skull, and saw the remnants of sharp claw marks on it, his heart pounding.
Has the Forest Country reached such a state of madness now?
Even their own wolves want to kill?!
A lingering fierce and frenzied air still remained in the atmosphere, the ravenous wolf left claw marks on the ground and walls in its crazed frenzy.
At the moment of awareness, Ji Jue suddenly felt a chill in his heart, instinctively retreated, An Ning barely alive, exploded in a burst, Fei Guang shooting towards the shadow behind Ji Jue.
In the shadows, a vague figure suddenly emerged, the lingering frenzied wolf revealed its claws, in an instant, the sharp talons were already swinging at Ji Jue's neck.
Too fast, too quick to react.
In an instant of change, Ji Jue instinctively raised his hand, as the rebirth form appeared, an arm raised was severed from the shoulder, shredded into pieces.
The sinister dark shadow pressed aggressively forward, sharp as hooks, fingers were within a hair's breadth from Ji Jue's neck. But just a slight delay was enough for Ji Jue's Spiritual Hand to emerge from the void, pressing down on the attacker's face.
Pan Ying, Chun Jun, Zhanlu, three distinctly different Spiritual Fluctuations overlapped, tearing apart the shadow covering that face, revealing the true form.
In a nearly nonexistent instant, Ji Jue and the attacker widened their eyes.
The dark-skinned man with a beard... That familiar face seemed seen somewhere before...
Unfortunately, it's too late.
No time to stop.
At the moment Ji Jue maintained a cold demeanor, unhesitant, he saw... the attacker had stopped.
The fingers poised to tear Ji Jue's neck stopped at his throat, a hair's breadth away.
Unfortunately, Ji Jue sped up!
The Spiritual Hand already pierced through, passing through the attacker's body, then emerged from his back, grasping the Fei Guang that was about to pierce the back of the head.
Boom!
In an instant of delay, Tong Shan's telekinesis exploded, the attacker was sent flying, crashing into the ruins, raising a cloud of Dust amidst the loud crash.
"..."
Ji Jue stood in place, catching his severed limb, reattached it, restored back to normal in mere seconds, looking at the rising Dust in the ruins.
And that face covered in dust and blood.
He finally remembered...
"It's you."
Ji Jue raised his hand, stopping An Ning's finishing blow, staring at that disheveled and twisted face, froze for a moment.
He had seen this face before.
In the midst of the White Deer storm, during the rescue of that illegal drug factory, this man killed all the drug dealers, carrying all the victims on his back out of the fire just as the flood submerged the basement.
Passed by...
Ji Jue never thought he would turn out to be a Wolf.
"Can you tell me why?"
Ji Jue approached, crouched down, scrutinized his appearance, unable to contain his curiosity: "Just for one encounter?"
"One encounter?"
The man's expression twitched, neurotic spasms, seemingly holding back something, almost unable to resist lunging forward, but ultimately didn't move.
"More than one encounter, Mr. Ji."
He raised his hand, searched his pocket for a long time, then pulled out a twisted, faded insignia, threw it to the ground.
With a clink, the insignia fell to the ground.
Leaves Ji Jue incredulous.
That's... the benevolent insignia issued by Chongguang Church?
"We, these shadow-dwelling homeless people, hide and flee day by day, if not for help, how could we survive?
Hey..."
Ni Lin's expression twitched, seeming to sneer at himself: "If it weren't for lack of time, I probably would have still been making lighters in your factory."
"..." Ji Jue was silent for a long time, asked: "Does Elder Long Ge know?"
"Perhaps? Perhaps guessed a bit, perhaps never guessed at all."
Ni Lin also paused, answered bitterly: "Even though I stole so many things from him, never said anything about me... Maybe he believes I still have a chance of redemption... This dog place, is beyond saving long ago..."
He glanced at Ji Jue, and his Evil Cult uniform, his expression complicated: "Elder said you're a good person."
"He's blind."
Ji Jue said indifferently: "How could I be a good person?"
Ni Lin said nothing, sighing wearily.
Looking at Ji Jue, and at Tong Shan's stern face behind him in the car.
All these years, the only two outsiders he's remembered...
One willing to step forward before a Heavenly Calamity, one willing to reach out to those impoverished people with nothing but suffering...
At one moment, he almost thought, perhaps everything could still be salvaged.
Reality proves, he was wrong.
From past to present, repeatedly wrong, still wrong today.
But he truly is, too tired to harm such people anymore.
Wrong is wrong.
He closed his eyes.
From the beginning, An Ning never relaxed her vigilance, reminded lowly: "Ji Jue brother, wolves aren't to be trusted."
"I know."
Ji Jue nodded, unwavering.
Perhaps those fallen to beasts deserve no sympathy, but if willingly turning into beasts, why would they stop in that instant?
