Chapter 458 Worthless
Chapter 458 Worthless
Xu Si couldn't quite describe what a high-order sequence felt like.
But he was having a great time, an incredibly great time, the kind of great feeling that comes from wanting to punch Merlin into a pulp.
He now has absolute control over Merlin.
There will be no reversal, absolutely not.
Until Xu Si turned his gaze back to Mei Lin.
He then realized why Xu Si didn't just kill him directly.
He wanted to kill him by destroying his spirit.
In fact, Xu Si did not intend to kill Mei Lin out of her spirit; he simply did not want Mei Lin to die too easily.
I don't want Jiao Jiao's life to end too easily.
That's why he was determined to advance to Sequence 7 no matter what.
He wanted to see the so-called view from a high place on her behalf.
"Stand up," he said.
Mei Lin's body trembled in the mud and water. He tried to prop himself up, but the shackles of the Star Chains were still wrapped around his limbs, pinning him firmly to the spot.
"I said, stand up."
Xu Si raised his foot and gently kicked Mei Lin's shoulder.
The movement was light, but the force was precisely compressed by the star power and exploded inside Mei Lin's body.
Mei Lin's body rolled twice in the muddy water before crashing into a protruding rock, spilling a mouthful of black blood.
Xu Si wanted him to experience Jiao Jiao's pain.
"What do you want?" Mei Lin stopped struggling; he knew it was all in vain.
Just as he knew that Sequence 7 had absolute dominance over Sequence 6.
If only he hadn't taken the [Mysterious Rejuvenation], if only he had used a strategic retreat, if only his plan had been more meticulous.
He had considered many possible endings.
He thought he would be recorded in history as the savior of mankind, and that those who sacrificed themselves would become indelible medals on his achievements.
He never imagined that he would be lying in the mud like a dead dog, being kicked around like trash by a Sequence 6 that he had once looked down on.
"What do I want?" Xu Si repeated the question, then smiled.
That smile was devoid of any warmth, like the cold light reflected from the moon, so cold it sent chills down your spine.
"I want you to see that what you're pursuing is worthless in my eyes."
He raised his hand, palm facing Mei Lin.
The Starlink shackles tightened suddenly, lifting Mei Lin's body off the ground and suspending her in front of Xu Si, like a prisoner suspended by an invisible noose.
Star power surged from Xu Si's palm and seeped into Mei Lin's body.
Mei Lin's sequence energy was already extremely disordered, and under Xu Si's direct intervention, his sequence energy was further shattered.
His sequence progression is irreversibly declining.
It falls from sequence 6 to sequence 5, and then continues to fall.
Mei Lin's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she found that she couldn't say anything.
He looked down at his hands.
Those hands were trembling, not from fear, but from the loss of sequence energy.
Like sand in an hourglass, he could feel his strength slipping away through his fingers, little by little, irretrievably.
The sequence process continues to fall.
"No--"
Mei Lin's voice was squeezed out of his throat, carrying an almost instinctive fear.
Sequence 1.
He was once a Sequence 7 standing above everyone else, the most powerful being on the island, an absolute powerhouse who could crush Sequence 4 and Sequence 5 like ants with a flick of his wrist.
Now, his aura has fallen to the edge of Sequence 1.
That feeling of weakness terrified him more than any form of torture.
At this moment, he was like a tiger whose fur had been stripped off and whose claws and teeth had been cut off.
He was exposed naked before the beasts he had once considered prey.
Until Xu Si stripped him of his sequence, Mei Lin was reduced to an ordinary person, even worse than an ordinary person.
Xu Si released his grip.
Mei Lin's body fell from mid-air, crashing into the gravel and mud, splashing water everywhere.
He struggled to lift his head, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
The people from the Bright Car Team stood not far away; no one spoke, and no one stepped forward.
At the Xinhuo train station, Tashan's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his eyes were red, but he held back.
He cannot overstep his bounds and presume to act on Xu Si's behalf.
At this moment, Xu Si must be in more pain than anyone else.
Su Su stood on the outside, holding Jiao Jiao, who was wrapped in ice crystals, in her arms. Her tears had not yet dried, but her eyes had turned into a cold, almost metallic coldness.
Fu Xiaojian simply watched in silence as Xu Si did everything he was supposed to do.
"Kill me! Kill me!"
He thought Xu Si wanted to kill him and destroy his spirit, but Xu Si didn't.
What's more terrifying than killing someone and destroying their spirit is taking everything they own away.
Mei Lin's voice echoed in the rain, hoarse and broken, like a mouse with its throat being stepped on, making its last dying struggle.
Xu Si looked down at him without saying a word.
He was waiting, waiting for Mei Lin's life to slowly slip away.
Without a sequence, Mei Lin's numerous injuries meant he wouldn't live much longer.
Everyone remained silent; no one stepped forward to finish off the attacker, and no one offered to help.
Everyone stared at Mei Lin, who was lying in the mud, with the look of someone who had just died.
"Help me! I don't want to die! Help me!"
Only when his breath grew shorter and shorter, until his life came to an end, did he crawl toward his former teammates, barely clinging to life.
Fu Xiaojian frowned as he looked at Xu Si, finally understanding why Xu Si didn't just kill Mei Lin directly.
For such an extremely selfish person, killing him by attacking his spirit would be ineffective.
What's even more cruel is making him personally experience every second before Jiao Jiao's death.
That helplessness, that fear, that despair of watching life slip through your fingers.
He lay prone in the mud, his chest like a broken bellows, each breath accompanied by a sickening gurgling sound from his throat.
Raindrops fell on his face and slid down the corners of his eyes.
I don't know if it was rain or tears.
