You must know that the inpatient department where you are located is fifteen floors above the ground.

If an ordinary person jumps from here, there is only one way to die.

But this naturally does not include Hu Qi.

Although his body is just that of an ordinary person, there is nothing Supernatural Power about it.

But when the power of the soul stimulates cell activity.

The body showed extraordinary reflexes and physical strength.

He fell rapidly like a meteorite, with the strong wind howling in his ears.

But in his eyes, the whole world seemed to be in slow motion.

Covered by the power of the soul, every cell in the body showed unprecedented activity.

Muscle fibers adjust in an instant, and perception is amplified to the extreme.

He accurately captured the air conditioner's outdoor unit one floor below.

The falling body twisted violently in the air, and stepped on the steel shell with his right foot.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and the outer unit shell dented.

But Hu Qi used this tiny fulcrum to instantly transform the terrifying falling force into a diagonal downward momentum.

His whole body was like an arrow, shooting towards the raised decorative beam on the other wall.

The arm stretched out like an ape, its five fingers turned into claws, and under the stimulation of the soul, it exploded with amazing grip strength, directly grabbing the edge of the concrete that was less than ten centimeters wide.

"Crack!"

His knuckles crackled slightly due to the huge force, but he managed to stabilize his body.

The huge impact force is conducted and dispersed through the strengthened tendons and bones, and is eventually absorbed by the body.

There was no pause, not even half a second on the crossbar.

As soon as he stabilized himself, he let go again, fell down, and used the same method to use his strength on the window edge of the lower floor for the second time.

After several ups and downs, the figure has descended to the height of the last few floors.

Finally, he bent his legs slightly and landed with a crash.

The whole process only takes a few seconds.

Hu Qi didn't stay too long.

The figure passed a few times and then disappeared.

There are only a few insignificant depressions and footprints left on the high wall of the inpatient department.

Until then.

Only then did the noise come from the inpatient floor where he was originally located.

In the ward, the originally closed ward door was pushed open.

Several doctors and nurses appeared in the ward.

"That man jumped... jumped off the building!"

The patient in the other bed shook his head and turned to the window on one side, trying to signal to everyone.

Hear the words.

Several people looked stunned.

Without having time to think too much, he quickly ran to the window and looked down.

But there was no blood on the ground as expected.

"Are you sure he jumped?! What a joke!"

One of the bald attending doctors opened his mouth.

Because of the disease.

It's actually not uncommon for patients to jump off buildings in hospitals.

But the situation in front of us is different, anyone can jump off the building.

It's just that the other party is impossible.

That Wang Yan was a quadriplegic patient he was personally responsible for, who had a high cervical spinal cord injury.

Naturally, he knows the extent of his injuries best.

He couldn't even move, and the bones all over his body were cracked to varying degrees. There would be no chance of recovery in this life.

How could such a person stand up, open the window and jump off the building?

If it happens, it will be nothing short of a medical miracle.

"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes and jumped!"

The patient's face turned a little pale, whether he was frightened or tired.

Hearing this, several nurses and doctors didn't want to believe it, but the facts were before their eyes.

A high-level paralyzed patient just disappeared in the ward. To some extent, the hospital must also bear the responsibility.

No time to think too much.

They directly chose to call the police. This was no longer something they could handle.

More than an hour later.

Municipal Bureau.

"You mean, a paralyzed patient not only sat up on his own, but also jumped from the fifteenth floor and left unscathed?"

Director Song Zhongguo's face was livid, his fingers hit the table hard, and his eyes were locked on the leader of the criminal investigation team standing opposite.

"Are you sure you're not making up a story for me?"

The leader of the criminal investigation team, Li Yue, looked solemn and responded solemnly:

"Director, although it sounds unbelievable, it is true.

We retrieved the surveillance video near the hospital and found no one sneaking into the room. As for the patient in the same room, we can also rule out the suspicion. The man himself can only move his head and has no ability to commit crimes.

In addition, footprints and handprints were also found on the outer wall. It was initially determined that they were left by Wang Yan during the fall.

But the strange thing is that the distance between these marks is very far, and coupled with the force of falling, it is almost impossible for even a parkour master to stabilize his body. "

As he spoke, he handed over the tablet in his hand.

Displayed on the screen were high-definition images taken by drones, with traces on the exterior walls and air conditioner units clearly visible.

Song Zhongguo stared at the screen, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

If these images are not processed, it means that a patient diagnosed with paralysis not only stood up independently, but also jumped from the fifteenth floor.

Even with a midway buffer, such behavior far exceeds human physiological limits.

But with the evidence in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.

"The focus now is to find a way to find Wang Yan first, and all these questions can be solved by finding the other party.

We might start with their friends and parents. "

The voice of the criminal investigation team leader Li Yue continued to be heard.

"Just do as you say!"

Song Zhongguo said.

Watch the other person leave and close the door.

His expression returned to calm.

After thinking about it, I picked up the phone, dialed a number, and reported what happened here first.

The world is so big.

It is inevitable that some abnormal situations will occur, and at his level, he is more or less aware of them.

There are some people in this world who are born different.

Perhaps this Wang Yan is this kind.

The sky was dark, and thunder rolled across as a bolt of lightning tore through the sky.

Thin rain curtains fell from the sky, and there was a chill in the air.

Pedestrians on the street wrapped up their coats and walked in a hurry.

The light from the street lamp passed through the dense rain curtain, illuminating a figure holding a black umbrella at the corner of the street.

That was a young man, standing quietly on the roadside, as if waiting for something.

If anyone who is familiar with Wang Yan passes by, they will be shocked to find that this young man who should have been paralyzed in bed is standing here safely at this moment.

Wang Yan, or rather, Hu Qi is correct.

He ignored the impact of his departure.

At this moment, he stood quietly, wearing a gray coat and holding a black umbrella.

In the patter of rain, he lowered his head and stared at the mobile phone he 'accidentally picked up' in his hand.

Then, put it in your pocket.

At this time, an online car-hailing car parked in front of Hu Qi.

After reporting my mobile phone number.

"Go to Qiyan City!"

Hu Qi said.

Qiyan City is more than five hundred kilometers away from where he is.

It's not that close, it's almost across the province.

But under the offensive of adding money.

The driver said nothing and stepped on the accelerator.

The car rushed out.

The driver was an aunt in her fifties wearing glasses. After a few brief words at first, she saw that Hu Qi had no desire to communicate, so she simply stopped disturbing her.

Hu Qi, on the other hand, had his eyes closed, as if he was falling asleep, leaning against the back of the car.

There was obviously something wrong with the original owner's car accident.

However, he didn't bother to pay attention at all.

The news of the previous attack must have attracted the attention of the authorities. If he continues to seek revenge and understands the original owner's wishes, it is tantamount to asking for trouble.

If he encounters it later, he may solve it casually, but definitely not now.

As for the influence of the original body's remnant, it does not exist at all.

Today is different from the past. The sorrow of an ordinary person has no effect at all on him.

His current goal for the One and Only is to find the incarnation thought of Evolution Heavenly Venerable.

Although he obtained the person's city and name, the more critical details were hazy.

If you want to lock the target, I'm afraid you have to use some extraordinary means.

Think of this.

The power of his soul scanned the body.

Start making changes and adjustments to deduce a method that suits this body.

This process is not difficult for Hu Qi.

Even if there is only a trace of his soul here.

It only takes a few minutes.

He has already deduced a cultivation method suitable for this body.

[Myriad Manifestations Heart Sutra]

This technique is different from other techniques that I have practiced before.

It is not a process of exercising physical strength from the outside to the inside, refining Qi and transforming Qi into spirit.

It's a method to exercise Psionic Power.

Psionic Power is an external manifestation of the power of the soul.

It means "all things come from the heart, and the environment changes with the heart". Project with the power of your inner soul.

Perceive and influence foreign objects through Psionic Power.

Look at Scarlet Panel in front of you.

[Myriad Manifestations Heart Sutra△(Getting Started)]

[Modification Points:951 units (88%)]

Different from other techniques, this secret technique is already in entry-level status as soon as it appears on the panel.

Hu Qi didn't hesitate at all.

Thoughts moved slightly.

Modify, improve!

Buzz——

With the rapid consumption of Modification Points, the level of the skill is rising step by step at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First floor... second floor... third floor...

At the same time.

A Psionic Power as rich as silver glow spread out from the pine cone between his eyebrows. It was invisible and without quality, but surged majestically, washing over his limbs and bones like a tide, tempering every inch of flesh and blood.

After a while, this strengthening was completed.

The outside world was still the same, and the driver didn't notice anything about it.

Hu Qi Open your eyes.

There seemed to be a flash of silvery white light in his eyes.

That is an external manifestation of Psionic Power being too powerful.

[Myriad Manifestations Heart Sutra△ (nine layers) characteristics: Mind Sense, Mindscape Domain]

[Modification Points:951 units (88%)]

Myriad Manifestations Heart Sutra reached the ninth level and gained two characteristics.

As you can tell from the names, one is to sense the thoughts of living beings, and the other is to transform into a field with Psionic Power.

As for the consumption of Modification Points, although it is several thousand, it is not worth mentioning the current reserve of Modification Points.

"Is it almost equivalent to the level of refining a god? It's enough for now!"

Hu Qi sensed the current situation.

Make a judgment in your mind.

Today's time and space, before the end of the world, is not much different from an ordinary world, although there are also some people with special talents in it.

But those people are still in the human category.

There is no comparison with Hu Qi.

With his current power, he is almost the same as a god here.

The next moment.

Crack-!

The taxi stopped on the ground, leaving a clear tire mark.

Hu Qi Push the door and get out of the car.

The rain fell, but it seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, unable to touch Hu Qi at all.

Eyes scanning.

At this moment, it has left the city limits and stayed beside a highway.

Because it was raining, there were no cars around.

Hu Qi doesn't care about this.

As his heart moved, Psionic Power filled the air, lifting his body up from the ground.

Then, he suddenly turned into a Flowing Light and soared into the sky.

Disappeared in place.

Snap! Snap!

Rain could be heard hitting the pane.

The driver's eyes were in a daze for a moment, his memory rippling slightly like water blown by the breeze.

In her remaining impression, she had just completed a trip and was stopping here for a while.

She shook her head, rubbed her shoulders, and looked at the dark road.

I glanced at the phone beside me and saw that the order had been completed.

He muttered something.

"It's raining heavily, so let's call it a day after taking one more order for the return journey."

Qiyan City, in a certain room.

"Where am I...?"

Zhang Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the slightly yellowed ceiling.

There were several cartoon posters taped to the wall, and the table in front of him was piled with charging cables, computers, and a half-eaten box of biscuits.

He stood up and glanced at the old calendar on the wall.

October 3, 2036.

"Are you reborn again..."

"I wonder what kind of apocalypse will be waiting for me this time?"

A trace of trance flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to clarity. This was his seventh rebirth.

The first time, I encountered the end of the world.

Not long after struggling in the last days, he was killed, and then came the second and third lives.

In each life, he becomes stronger than the last.

But without exception, he died.

The last time was his strongest life, and he was only one step away from the truly complete Termination apocalypse.

However, he was betrayed by his partner and lover, leading to another failure.

Thought of this.

There was a hint of bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.

In this life, he will kill those two bitches with his own hands.

Then, completely Termination this damn apocalypse!

Because he found that he could be reborn.

But his condition seems to be getting worse and worse.

He had a special premonition that if he could not end the apocalypse, he might really die.

Think of this.

His palm touched the lower part of his left chest, where his heart was.

At this moment, he could clearly feel its constant beating.

He was very familiar with this thing.

It was the demon king he killed before his death, the Heart of Immortality possessed by the other party.

Unexpectedly, he was reborn with this thing this time.

This Unyielding Heart has replaced his heart, which is a good thing for him.

With the blessing of this thing, he can go further in this life than in previous lives.

Unyielding Heart, as the name suggests, possesses the power of immortality. Even if the owner is seriously injured, he can quickly recover as before.

In his last life, he had to pay a huge price to kill the demon king.

"There are only three months left until the end of the world.

No matter what, I must improve my strength as much as possible during this period, and also pay attention to possible opportunities that may arise. "

"Although every apocalypse will be different.

However, the positions of some big opportunities will not change much, which is also the capital of rapid growth. "

"In addition, some preliminary supplies must be prepared.

Although you can directly grab someone else's... but doing so in the early stage is too risky and can easily be counterattacked. "

"And we have to be careful in case we encounter an extreme apocalypse like the flood apocalypse, where we can't even get out... So at the very least, we have to prepare enough food for ourselves before going without food, and strengthen the doors and windows..."

Zhang Yi sorted out the thoughts in his mind, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to clarify his thoughts first.

But the pen tip has just landed on the first word.

His movements froze in an instant, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at the door.

Just then.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

A voice came from outside the door.

"Hello, check the gas, please open the door."
