The surrounding neighbors were horrified to discover that two figures suddenly jumped out of the darkness and arrived in front of the soldiers at an incomprehensible speed.
The leading white-haired man cut the leading soldier's head in half with a single blow, and then disappeared on the spot. Immediately afterwards, his figure flashed in front of several soldiers behind him, and heads and stumps flew everywhere he passed.
The black-haired woman who followed later had four scary skeletal hands behind her, each holding a ball of silk thread of different colors. She held a needle about a foot long in her right hand, and suddenly swung it forward, and the steel needle came out with a strand of red silk thread behind her.
The needle and thread seemed to be alive, tightly sewing together the several rebel soldiers standing at the back. The red thread gave off a faint light, and the blood vessels on the bodies of the soldiers shot out several pillars of blood at the same time, and then they fell to the ground.
The whole process took less than half a minute, and all the rebel soldiers were killed before they could make a sound.
The neighbors who witnessed all this were almost paralyzed with fear. Although they had experienced the baptism of civil war before, this was the first time they had seen such brutal killing.
At this moment, the fire finally engulfed the entire house, and a huge pillar of fire rose into the sky, engulfing Hezi, who had long since disappeared.
In the light of the fire, Senjumaru took back the steel needle and glanced at Lin Nan with charming and wild eyes. "I killed one more than you..."
Lin Nan didn't even look at her, and ran directly to Hongyuan Haili: "Who the hell has time to compete with you! Go and save that little girl!"
This morning, he went to see Senjumaru and asked her to help him issue a fake dispatch order to disguise himself as Seireitei, and send the Spirit-Gathering Pill he had made to his grandfather.
I originally thought that Senjumaru, who had just been beaten by me, would not help. Unexpectedly, Senjumaru not only agreed, but also personally followed me to Rukongai.
You don't need to think about it to know that she is still interested in her Spirit-Gathering Pill, so Lin Nan simply lets her follow. Anyway, Spirit-Gathering Pill has been prepared in advance. Just give it to the grandfather directly when you go to the place. Senjumaru can't tell any clues.
After coming out of the old grandpa's place, Lin Nan wanted to stop by Hongyuan Haili's place to take a look. By the way, he wanted to use Hongyuan Haili's Reishi-Gathering Pill to divert Senjumaru's attention. Unexpectedly, he happened to stumble upon this bloody scene.
At this time, Hongyuan Haili's roar had already turned into a howl, and the whole person had almost entered an unconscious state. Lin Nan cut the rope, helped him sit up, and kept calling his name in his ear.
Hongyuan Haili remained unmoved and just howled mechanically.
Senjumaru walked from the side holding Ronghua who was covered in blood. When she saw Lin Nan's questioning eyes, she shook her head helplessly. "Too much blood loss..."
As she spoke, she carefully placed Ronghua in front of Hongyuan Haili. The latter immediately stopped wailing, rushed forward, and held her daughter tightly in her arms.
"Ronghua...Ronghua..." Hongyuan Haili's eyes regained a trace of clarity, and suddenly thought of something again, "Where is Hezi...Hezi?"
Lin Nan couldn't bear to look up at the burning house not far away. In the original position under the corridor, there was a looming human figure in the fire, which had been burned to charcoal...
Hongyuan Haili called Hezi's name foolishly, while turning his head and looking around. Lin Nan hurriedly pressed his shoulder. "Hongyuan Hai! Do you still remember me? I am Lin Nan!"
Hongyuan Haili stared at Lin Nan for a long time, smiled miserably, and a tear slowly slipped from his eyes. "Lin Nan... I shouldn't have gone home..."
Lin Nan didn't know what to say, so he could only pat him on the shoulder to express comfort. Senjumaru watched this scene and remained silent.
"Hezi, where is Hezi?" Hongyuan Haili looked around sadly, wanting to get up and see if there was his wife behind him.
Lin Nan gritted his teeth and held him firmly in place. "Listen to me, believe me, don't look back..."
Hongyuan Haili's eyes looked at Lin Nan blankly, and a drop of blood slipped from his cracked lips. "Yes... I believe you. I should have listened to you, I shouldn't have gone home..."
He lowered his head and stroked Ronghua's pale face. The drop of blood dripped from his lips and fell on Ronghua's face, splashing into a bright red flower.
A bloody albizia flower.
"Ronghua... my little Ronghua... your name means albizia flower! Do you like this albizia flower that your father gave you?..."
Hongyuan Haili burst into tears, but with a happy smile on his lips. He gently stroked his daughter's cold cheek with his fingers, murmured her name in a low voice, hugged her little body, and swayed his upper body gently.
The flames were raging and crackling. Only Hongyuan Haili was whispering softly at the scene, while the other neighbors who were watching, as well as Lin Nan and Senjumaru, were all silent.
Hongyuan Haili, crazy.
Lin Nan saw that Hongyuan Haili no longer struggled to get up, so he turned to face the burning house and stretched out his right hand. "Bakudō-Twenty·Azure Wave Barrier!"
A huge water ball condensed and formed from the top of the house, and then more than a dozen tentacle-like water streams emerged and were involved in the fire burning below.
Accompanied by a violent sizzling sound and floating smoke, the fire was quickly extinguished.
Hongyuan Haili's home was destroyed. His wife and daughter also died.
Seeing that the fire was out, Senjumaru tacitly released No. 20 Hadō·Sky-Illuminating Orb for on-site lighting.
Suddenly, Hongyuan Haili's figure suddenly rose from the ground, and his voice became louder. "You! Why don't you save my daughter! Why do you have to watch her be killed!"
He gently placed his daughter's body on the ground, struggled up, and stared at the neighbors not far away with his bloodshot eyes, preparing to fight for them.
The neighbors looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Even if they wanted to help just now, what help could people like themselves, who had no power, do?
Lin Nan hurriedly turned around and grabbed Hongyuan Haili's clothes to stop him. But he didn't expect that Hongyuan Haili was so strong at this time, and his body kept struggling to move forward. In desperation, he exerted force and pulled the other person towards him.
Hongyuan Haili has an average physique, and just now he was wrestling with Lin Nan with his brute force. He was suddenly pulled away, his feet were weak and weak, his body suddenly lost control, and he fell solidly to the ground.
Lin Nan was startled, and quickly helped him up again, checking whether he had been broken.
But Hongyuan Haili calmed down after the fall. He got up from the ground wordlessly and raised his eyes just in time to see his wife's body.
He was silent for a moment, turned around and picked up his daughter, then turned back to the original place and sat down quietly. He just looked at the charred corpse in trance.
Senjumaru looked at Hongyuan Haili's performance and looked at Lin Nan with some confusion: Is he okay?
Lin Nan frowned and glared at her. Senjumaru This guy looks delicate and charming. Maybe he got his emotional intelligence in exchange for it?
He walked slowly to Hongyuan Haili and sat down slowly.
Hongyuan Haili was completely unaware, just looking straight ahead.
Lin Nan organized a lot of comforting words in his heart, but felt that none of them could express what he was thinking. After thinking for a long time, he leaned close to Hongyuan Haili's ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear clearly:
"I don't know what to say to comfort you, and I can't relate to this pain.
Where I grew up, there were two words. They said that when people are in trouble, they can only gain new life after suffering like fire, struggling in pain, and finally getting rid of pain.
I feel very sad for what happened to your wife and Ronghua, but I don't want to see you sink like this. You are a smart man and you once saved my friend's life.
So, I want to give you these two words. I hope you can be reborn in the same way, and live well with the thoughts of them - these two words are called [Nirvana and rebirth], and [Breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly]."
Hongyuan Haili was still staring ahead. He was silent for a moment, slightly opened his chapped lips, and said softly, "Thank you. Lin Nan."
Lin Nan sighed softly, and looked at each other with Senjumaru: "We can't leave him here, the rebels will find him again sooner or later. He knows how to make Reishi-Gathering Pill, and if caught by the rebels, he will also pose a huge threat to Court Guard Squad."
Senjumaru thought for a moment and nodded, "I can take him back to my place. Seireitei was questioned at the entrance, so I told him that he was a disguised spy sent by me. He has completed the mission and returned to the team. As long as I prove it, there will be no problem."
Lin Nan felt relieved and solemnly nodded his thanks to Senjumaru: "Thank you. I owe you a favor."
The two helped Hongyuan Haili bury the bodies of Hezi and Ronghua, and then the three left the ninth block.
Hongyuan Haili cannot Shunpo. In order to speed up, Senjumaru used silk thread to wrap him into a pupa shape. Four bone hands held the humanoid pupa, and together with Lin Nan, they used Shunpo and headed towards Seireitei.
