Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 290 The Eve of the Rainstorm

……

"lotus……"

In a daze, he seemed to hear someone calling him.

He opened his eyes and tried to search, but all he could see was red.

Flame, hot flame.

Bone-burning pain feels like real existence

The blood all over his body seemed to be burning, and unspeakable grief and anger surged out of his heart uncontrollably.

"Len...Taro, please...be well..."

Who...who is calling him?

The weak shouts were getting closer and closer, and he looked around blankly. It wasn't until a cold touch suddenly came from his arms that he seemed to realize something and lowered his head suddenly.

In an instant, boiling blood rushed to his brain, and he saw in his arms a pale girl with a big hole in her chest lying on his lap.

The long pink hair gradually turned into ashes in the flames. The bruised girl put her bloody palms in front of his chest with difficulty, looked at him tenderly with her gradually dimming red pupils, and said her last words. :

"Have a good time and live on."

The cold palms fell down feebly, and the severe pain like angina seemed to have crossed the barrier of dreams and pierced his heart fiercely, and a heart-rending cry rang out:

"Yeonju!!"

boom--!

In the dark room, accompanied by the sound of the water glass falling to the ground, Satomi Rentaro sat up from the bed with a look of horror on his face, shouted and reached forward to grab, but he didn't catch anything.

"Satomi?"

A pair of white arms stretched out from Satomi Rentaro's back and hugged him gently. A warm and soft touch came from behind. The Holy Emperor who was awakened by the other's actions did not blame him, but hugged him gently from behind. He touched the other party, wiped the tears from the corners of the other party's eyes with his soft palms, and whispered:

"Did you have another nightmare?"

Satomi Rentaro was silent for a while, then slowly put down his raised palm and nodded slightly.

"Well, I'm sorry, Emperor Sheng, for disturbing your rest again..."

Before Satomi Rentaro could finish speaking, a white finger gently pressed on his lips to stop him from continuing.

"I took it upon myself to ask you to accompany me, Satomi, so there is no need for you to blame yourself."

The Holy Emperor shook his head, his snow-white eyelashes drooped slightly, half covering his beautiful sapphire-like pupils, and said softly:

"Besides, these are what I should do."

"Holy Emperor, I..."

Satomi Rentaro turned around and looked at the white-haired girl holding him as if she had walked out of a painting, and hesitated to speak.

Sheng Tianzi looked at the other person tenderly and did not speak. Instead, he hugged the other person into his arms and gently stroked the back of the other person's head.

"That's a pretty horrible nightmare, isn't it?"

"Well, it's scary. Just thinking about it makes me shudder..."

Satomi Rentaro closed his eyes and murmured, with a hint of fear still remaining on his face.

"It's okay, Satomi, if you're scared, just say it here."

The Holy Emperor lowered his eyes lightly, and his index finger traced the tears in the corners of Satomi Rentaro's eyes, and his snow-white hair fell on the other's shoulders.

"Holy Emperor, tell me, am I useless..."

The lights in the room dimmed unconsciously, and a hoarse voice sounded.

"I failed to protect Sister Kisara, and I failed to fulfill my promise to them. I could only watch Yanzhu take my place on the battlefield, and watch Tina and the others suffer from the debilitating disease..."

"Obviously I wake up from nightmares every night, but during the day I lie to others and say that I am used to it..."

"Is a person like me really suitable to be a consul?"

As the words fell, the room fell into a brief silence, but then, a sweet voice that was so gentle that one even suspected that an angel had descended to the world softly sounded:

"Well, in my opinion, Satomi is the most suitable person."

"It was you who persuaded Miss Sumire to assist in the establishment of Leviathan. It was you who led Leviathan out of desperation in times of crisis. It was you who stood up and encouraged me and the people in Leviathan when they were about to lose their support. People’s hearts.”

"Without Satomi, I don't think we would have been able to fight to this day. For me, too, being able to be your fiancée and staying with you like this is the happiest thing for me as a woman. .”

The Holy Emperor said with a smile, gently picked up Rentaro Satomi's face, and took the initiative to kiss him.

Satomi Rentaro's breath suffocated slightly, and he immediately wanted to push the other person away, but stopped when his palm touched the other person.

But when he was about to put his hand down, a fair and slender arm gently took his hand and held him.

"Satomi...I don't know what our future will be like, but I don't want to leave any regrets."

The Holy Emperor looked at Rentaro Satomi in front of him, his snow-white eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he had made some kind of determination, and whispered:

"So, just for once, leave tonight to me instead of a nightmare, okay?"

When Satomi Rentaro heard this, his palms trembled, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked at the angel-like woman wearing thin pajamas in front of him, who looked like she had walked out of a painting. He was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and there was a trace of light in his eyes. With a determined look, he nodded and took the initiative to hug the other person's body.

……

Leviathan, Dark Steel Laboratory.

"Ding--!!"

When the piercing alarm sounded, Sumire Muroto turned around and stared at the part of the screen that suddenly turned red that was used to detect someone's vital signs in real time, and stood there in a daze.

Bang!

It wasn't until the beaker filled with warm water in her hand slipped quietly and smashed to the ground with a loud bang, causing a large splash of water, that Sumire Muroto finally came back to her senses. She looked at the human figure on the screen, laughed, and looked up at the player. There was a shadowless lamp on the ceiling, and a smile couldn't help but flash across his tired face.

"That guy... finally showed some behavior that a man should have."

So, the researcher in a white coat walked to the drawer, opened it, and took out a plan from inside.

Stab it!

The sound of paper tearing was heard, and only after the items on the plan were completely shattered and returned to the trash can in the corner did Sumire Muroto close the drawer again.

Since those two guys took that step in time, it saves her from having to think of ways to force the other party to make it happen before the decisive battle comes.

"Oh, if I had known this, I shouldn't have worried about it in the first place."

Sumire Muroto sighed and glanced at the group photo hanging on the wall, her eyes slightly lowered, then she sneered and turned away.

"In this way, you can die completely. She really likes to cause trouble for others. No wonder you died so early."

How many worlds did that guy save in his previous life to be able to bump into two women like this in a row?

Sumire Muroto lay on the sofa, lit a cigarette for herself, looked at the blurred ceiling in the slowly rising smoke, and thought boredly in her mind.

……

Wow——!

Huge waves crashed against the giant beast as big as an island, the bright moonlight fell from the sky, and a chuckle sounded in the evening wind:

"It seems like something worthy of celebration happened tonight?"

The figure wearing a white smiling face mask sat on a seat made of stone, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and chuckled to himself.

"Is it a beautiful dream? It's really...a word that is so old that it's a bit unfamiliar." After all, from that day on, his life fell into a nightmare from which he could never wake up.

"Hum roar...!"

Suddenly, a long roar rose from the island below, and the front part of the dark island was slowly raised, and a huge head like a mountain was slowly raised from the sea. Its head was like a dragon and its tail was like a snake. It's like the mythical creatures have materialized into reality.

"Are you worried about me? Don't worry. My body can still hold on for the time being. Besides, for us, death has long been..."

Zhizi Yingyin looked at the giant beast staring at him in front of him and said, but before he could finish speaking, a new roar suddenly came:

"Woo ho ho ho—!!"

A dazzling white light bloomed from the sky, followed by a waterfall of thunderstorms and the sound of rolling sea water.

Rumble!

Amidst the deafening thunder, men and horses with wings ran from the horizon, running back and forth above Zhizi Yin, while under the sea not far away, a huge shadow was slowly swimming.

"You are...are you trying to decide the outcome with them? In that case, I'll leave it to you when the time comes."

Zhizi Yingyin turned his head, looked at the figure patrolling in the sky, and murmured.

Rustle ~ Rustle ~

At this moment, a sound like a gentle breeze blowing through the woods was played, which was as refreshing as a piece of music.

As the melody played, a snow-white figure who looked about the same height as an ordinary person, with thin white threads floating on his body and arms slowly walked out of the shadows and stood next to Zhizi Yingyin. .

"Huh? Are you planning to get involved too?"

A look of surprise flashed through his gray-white eyes.

"I see. Do you want to see her? After all, this might be the last time?"

Zhiziyingyin nodded slightly, seeming to agree to some of the requests of the white figure in front of him, and then looked behind him:

As if a hole was suddenly torn open on a blank canvas, a dark crack several kilometers wide quietly embedded itself in the space behind him, forming an insurmountable chasm.

Within that chasm, there was an endless darkness that was thicker than the deadliest night. Just looking at it made people shudder, as if they would be swallowed up at any time.

"Ahem! Ahem...ahem!!"

Suddenly, Zhizi Yingyin's eyes changed slightly, his right hand tightly covered his heart, and he coughed violently.

Dark blood seeped out from under the mask. Seeing this, the white figure on the side moved the silk threads fluttering on his body, as if he was anxious about the condition of Zhizi Yingyin.

In an instant, he came to Zhizi Yingyin, supported his body, and controlled the silk threads to penetrate into his clothes.

As the silk thread penetrated, a dark color suddenly spread in the next second, and quickly surged along the white silk thread.

At this moment, a hand wearing a white glove suddenly grabbed the white silk threads connected to his body and tore them off.

"Thank you, Qixing, but that's it."

Zhizi Yingyin wiped the dark blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up with difficulty with the help of the white figure, sat back on the seat, panted heavily, looked at the night scene in the sky, his gray pupils gradually Calm was restored.

"Are there ten days left? Haha, it's such a long and short time."

"The performers still stay in Leviathan, and the set designers and the little girl named Quan Momo wander around the world..."

"Did they avoid places with dark steel? It's interesting. It seems that they also noticed something."

Zhizi Yingyin closed her eyes and sensed the information she received, but her eyes did not change much.

No matter what those three people planned to do or what measures they took, he didn't care, as long as the other party could prove that they had 'that ability' in his test.

"Let me wait and see whether you are the heroes he calls an end to all this, or whether you are an insignificant speck of dust in this nightmare."

……

Leviathan, VIP bedroom.

Can't sleep.

Xin Lailai looked at the ceiling in front of her, trying to clear her mind, but she couldn't really calm down.

"In the end, nothing unexpected happened..."

Ling Yuzi and Quan Momo were progressing very smoothly, and no one noticed that the most powerful weapon that had long since disappeared was gradually reappearing underground somewhere in this world.

The expected surprise did not happen, whether it was Satomi Rentaro, Aihara Enju, or Hiroko Yingyin...

Satomi Rentaro did not fall into a mental breakdown due to any sudden incident, Aihara Enju did not show signs of eclipse disease like Tina's equally powerful and cursed sons, and Hiroko Kageyin did not suddenly appear again. Come out and disrupt their plans.

Likewise, there were no surprises.

Even after browsing the entire Leviathan, he did not find any message from Daoji, nor did he find any hints left by the other party.

It's as if the other party has determined that victory will be impossible if those who arrive later cannot get the answer with their own wisdom.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the other party was unwilling to leave any hints even though he took the initiative to die.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the other party did leave a hint, but it has been wiped clean from this world by Zhizi Yingyin or other unknown forces.

The other is the star pointer. Since arriving at Leviathan, no matter how Xin Lai Lai activates it, it can only result in the stars used to indicate the direction spreading around in disorder.

This means that either the Star Pointer's number of divination times has been exhausted, or the time for the next prompt has not yet come.

Or maybe, the disordered starlight is actually the result of divination, but he failed to decipher its meaning.

As for the rest...

The improved breathing method has been taught to Adolf and other members of the Dark Steel Force. These modified people, whose life energy has long been deeply integrated with the magnetic field emitted by Dark Steel, quickly mastered it under his guidance as he expected. Breathing Tips.

If nothing else goes wrong, when the decisive battle comes, the strength of the entire Dark Steel Army will be improved to a higher level.

Everything was going step by step according to Xin Lailai's vision, and because of this, it was difficult for him to calm down.

"Ten days..."

Xin Lailai looked at the countdown at the edge of his vision, squinted his eyes slightly, and murmured to himself.

Everything in the Black Bullet world is like a huge fog that makes people unable to figure it out.

And when the results cannot be obtained by other means, if you want to get a clear glimpse of the scene behind this layer of fog, you can only wait patiently for things to ferment.

Just like a brewing rainstorm, when the rainstorm falls, the fog will naturally be washed away by the rain, and these last ten days are the last calm before the rainstorm.

"But no one knows how violent this rainstorm will be, and whether it will destroy everything..."

Xin Lailai raised his right arm, stared at his palm, clenched his fist, and then slowly released it.

He could only wait for clues to surface, but could not take the initiative to pull him out of the water. He had not experienced this helpless feeling for a long time.

"It's really... unpleasant."
