Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 1303: Do You Want to Come With Me?

He swallowed several big mouthfuls of salty seawater in a row, and the burning sensation seared his lungs. Despite being in the water, his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose all felt like they were on fire. No matter how Ji Shanqing struggled and resisted, the waves still kept him far away from the shadow. Just before he sank with a plop, he could still vaguely see the shadow of his sister standing on the beach. Full of hope, he believed that as long as he could swim back in time and grab her again, it wouldn't be too late. But when he fiercely punched and kicked underwater, trying to resurface, the beach was already empty.

His view on the water's surface lasted only for a moment before someone grabbed his ankle from underwater and pulled him back down. Enduring the stinging pain of seawater in a turbulent flow, he opened his eyes underwater. Amidst the seaweed, murky waves and white bubbles, a half-distorted, gray-faced man that Lin Sanjiu had punched, like a water ghost, came straight towards him.

He's still alive, he's actually caught him at this moment.

If emotions could transform into substantial power, every fleeting thought crossing Ji Shanqing's mind at this moment would be enough to tear this entire planet apart. However, at this moment, he couldn't do anything—because when the gray-faced man was underwater, his movements were even more agile and powerful than on land. Seizing the opportunity when Ji Shanqing was almost drowning, he pressed him into the sandy ground, making it impossible for him to struggle or reach himself.

The gray-faced man probably thought he was a Special Item that didn't need to breathe. Ji Shanqing suddenly relaxed his body, allowing his limbs to float softly with the waves. His body was like a lump of putty, molded by him to be whatever he wanted it to be. The gray-faced man pressed him for a moment and then became suspicious. He quickly grabbed Ji Shanqing's collar, pulling him back up to the water's surface.

"Hey!" He shouted as soon as his face emerged from the water, full of urgency. "Wake up!"

Ji Shanqing opened his eyes.

"You startled me." The gray faced man let out a sigh of relief and smirked, "I told you, you're a Special Item."

Ji Shanqing didn't cough, didn't take a breath; he didn't look like a person who had nearly drowned. He just turned his head and stared at the gray face motionlessly until the latter's expression gradually turned unpleasant. Even the veins on his forehead surfaced, whether from pressure or nervousness, and his muscles twitched as he forced a smile, saying, "Why are you staring at me like that? I can treat you better than that woman."

Ah, yes.

That's what it is... it's just that little difference...

Ji Shanqing's feet touched the sandy ground, and he slowly took a breath. The sky wasn't dark, but the world had become dim and lightless. He raised his wet hand, letting his fingernails sink into the skin of his face, and slowly and deeply scraped it off. No feeling.

"What do you want? Just tell me."

The gray-face man stood half a step behind him, still holding onto his collar. After Ji Shanqing turned his head away, his tone became more normal and natural, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. In this world, you have to fight for what you want. Do you think I had an easy time during this period? I didn't even go to rob the villa, just followed you guys from a distance."

At this point, he suddenly laughed, "I saw you go to the F11 villa alone, what a great opportunity! But I held back because even if I caught you, I couldn't get out of this pocket dimension, and I still had to face that woman. I didn't plan my retreat well, so I endured and didn't make a move... But the heavens are still kind. I actually caught this opportunity!"

Ji Shanqing's eyes had a thin layer of blood by now, and he didn't know when tiny blood vessels had broken, but he didn't bother to figure out where. This body had no significance to him now; even if it were shattered into thousands of pieces, it wouldn't matter. Ji Shanqing slowly turned his head and looked at the face with a red shadow floating on it, whispering, "Do you want to leave the pocket dimension?"

The man was stunned. "Do you have a way?"

Of course.

Ji Shanqing twisted his body, and the man let go of his hand. Having caught the grand prize once before, he knew that his combat strength wasn't great, which might have led to his negligence and arrogance. Ji Shanqing glanced at him and grinned.

Blood suddenly spurted out of the gray-faced man's throat, splashing Ji Shanqing's face with blood. The man fell heavily into the water, and seawater gurgled into his fractured trachea. For a moment, the water's surface seemed to boil as the waves rolled over, creating waves of red foam.

How could he let that man go so easily?

Ji Shanqing walked two steps closer, letting the man keep attacking him underwater. He extended his hand, which was quickly pulled by the man, leaving blood traces from the nails on his arm.

But Ji Shanqing remained calm.

He had no interest in the man's data composition; he only needed a little skin and flesh. When the man's strength grew weaker, Ji Shanqing withdrew his hand, shaking off the seawater mixed with blood. Under his ability, these external injuries were easy to heal. The seawater mixed with blood that had flowed into his lungs could also be expelled. The gray-faced man soon opened his eyes again underwater, his face filled with disbelief after surviving such a near-death experience. Urgently fighting for survival, he was shaking his limbs, attempting to stand up from the seawater.

However, the bloody sea surface acted like a blue steel plate, firmly keeping him submerged.

After realizing he couldn't stand up or get out of the water, his eyes bulged from their sockets, appearing white and large, no longer looking like human eyes. Ji Shanqing couldn't help but think of what it would feel like to pop them like balloons. He pointed his hands at the sea water and gestured in the shape of a picture frame; not being able to reach down, he couldn't help but stare at them with some itching for a while - accompanied by a faint scream that was mostly muffled by the sea water, those two eyes were under the sea. They exploded, with a slight bang, like a bubble bursting.

"Rest for a while; you won't die even if your eyeballs explode. After I do it a few more times, I'll get bored and let you die. Then you can leave the pocket dimension, right?"

Not that anyone underwater would hear the voice from the outside world in such a wretched state as the gray-faced man.

"Is it better to swap to the nasal cavity now?" Ji Shanqing asked, "You need to tilt your head more, so I can... Oh, this angle is perfect!"

The gray-faced man kicked his legs a few times but stopped floating. A deep black chasm split his face, and his nose bone was long gone. The seawater around him became increasingly turbid from the blood.

"Just faint for a while; you'll be healed again," Ji Shanqing said softly. "You're lucky; I won't touch the half of your face that my sister messed up."

That was the mark his sister left when she tried to grab him back.

"If I cut it off and take it with me later, will sis be disgusted?"

When the gray-faced man opened his intact eyes again from underwater, Ji Shanqing saw fear in them that he had never seen before. This fear was so pure and vivid that he couldn't help but admire it for a while. He himself didn't remember how many times he had blown up the gray face; even the horizon was gradually turning bloody like the corners of his eyes, reflecting a deep crimson.

Ji Shanqing didn't know when another person appeared on the wooden platform extending from the beach to the sea. He just glanced at him and continued to look down at the toy underwater. However, he was becoming less interested, and the pace of repairing the gray-faced man slowed down.

"What did he do? Why are you treating him like this?" Silvan asked from a distance.

Ji Shanqing ignored him. He stopped his hand and stared at the intact human body underwater without speaking.

"Your sister has left, hasn't she?" Silvan stood straight on the sea surface under the setting sun, his body covered in a layer of golden light. "Why are you alone now?"

Ji Shanqing couldn't be bothered to think about the change in his attitude—he must be referring to the paper crane his sister made.

Wait, he had his sister's voice in his hand.

"I'm surprised there's still a lunatic like you by Lin Sanjiu's side," Silvan said, suddenly smiling. "Do you know where she went? I must find her."

Ji Shanqing turned his head back, giving a cold smile. "Relying on what? Teleportation?"

"No," Silvan said from a distance, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly. "I have something that can move between planets... of course, not everywhere. How about it? Do you want to come with me?" This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com
