Come to think of it, it was about time. He had been down in this coal mine and controlling Bai Feifei for quite a while now.
Unless Bai Feifei could pass out and fall into a deep sleep again, he wouldn’t be able to continue controlling her body to do as he pleased.
Otherwise, time was truly running out.
“Bai Feifei.”
“What is it?”
“Can you just go to sleep right now?”
“Huh?”
Bai Feifei was still confused, wondering why the Evil God was suddenly calling her name. Hearing his question, she couldn't even process what he was saying.
But Xu Mo didn't want to explain anymore. He looked at the pit Hong Jiu had smashed into the ground and at the flailing Li Gui, then gritted his teeth.
“Hey, remember what you promised me earlier?”
“I helped you reverse time to save them. For the remaining time, you have to listen to me, even if it involves something dangerous.”
“Yes, I know,” Bai Feifei replied, not quite understanding what he meant but agreeing nonetheless.
At this moment, Li Gui’s entire outer skin had been torn apart by his frantically growing bones and flesh!
He was now over three meters tall. Arms had sprouted from his back, waist, and thighs, all flailing wildly.
His abdomen had ruptured, spilling out numerous strands of intestines that writhed like the tentacles of an octopus.
It was as if his genes had instantly scrambled, causing his organs and limbs to grow in a completely disordered fashion.
Yet, at this moment, he was exceptionally happy.
“Hahahaha!”
“I’ve succeeded! I’ve succeeded! So it was all this simple! I’ve truly lived all these years in vain!”
Aries Hong Jiu’s expression was incredibly grim as he watched the now completely demonic Li Gui.
He had previously looked down on Li Gui, sensing that the old man’s strength was far inferior to his own.
But now, both the man's aura and his power had clearly surpassed his own!
Furthermore, although the hole he had smashed open was no longer spraying that corrupting substance, it continued to emit an ominous aura.
It seemed a certain power was allowing Li Gui to continuously grow stronger.
This was troublesome.
“Rangers, listen up...”
His muscles tensed as he prepared for battle. Hong Jiu’s voice was low as he began to speak, but before he could finish, he caught an unexpected figure out of the corner of his eye.
Behind him, “Bai Feifei” suddenly lunged forward in his direction!
Her identity was a mystery, and she seemed to belong to a very mysterious and powerful organization, but based on her current strength, she still didn't seem to be quite enough to handle this.
What was she doing? Was she coming to help?
“You...”
Aries Hong Jiu turned his head, about to tell her to back off, only to find that “Bai Feifei” didn't even spare him a glance. She rushed right past him.
Then, she did something that no one present expected!
She jumped straight into the hole that had been smashed into the ground.
Wan Qianhong: ?
The Rangers and everyone else: ?
“Wait... what!?”
Hong Jiu was completely stunned. He didn't understand why she would dare to do that!
Given the power and corrosiveness of the gas that had sprayed out earlier, even he wouldn't dare go down that hole!
This woman just jumped in? How could she dare!
Yet, at the same time, the moment her figure disappeared, the hole twisted and contracted, sealing itself shut!
It was as if a flesh-hole that had been poked open was now healing itself.
The Scavengers of the East District were dazed. Ever since they had entered this space, they had been in a state of confusion, unable to grasp the situation.
Now, a series of events had unfolded too quickly. They had watched an Edgerunner-level powerhouse aberrate, and then Bai Feifei had actually dared to jump into that hole!
What was the difference between that and jumping into hell?
However, everyone soon noticed that after “Bai Feifei” jumped down, the earthquake stopped completely, and the surrounding walls stopped pressing toward the center.
Even the aura of the monster that Li Gui had become stopped growing.
Ye Yu stared with her large, watery eyes at the spot where Bai Feifei had disappeared, murmuring, “Did she... sacrifice herself for us?”
Looking at her expression, she seemed almost ready to burst into tears. It was unclear what kind of story she had concocted in her mind this time.
“Give it a rest. Don't worry about her for now; she probably has her own plans,” Wan Qianhong said from the side.
For some reason, she wasn't overly shocked by “Bai Feifei’s” suicidal behavior this time.
Perhaps because the girl’s actions were so consistently absurd, she had begun to grow desensitized.
Strangely, she now had a great deal of confidence in “Bai Feifei” and didn't think she would necessarily die.
She looked up and shouted behind her, “Yang Shuo, is the passage okay?”
“I’m holding it!”
“Good! All East District Scavengers, evacuate now!”
Hearing this, none of the East District members tried to play the hero. In the current situation, throwing their lives away would be completely worthless.
But just as they were about to run, several giant boulders flew through the air behind Yang Shuo and slammed heavily into his back.
Boom!
An explosive boom rang out from Yang Shuo’s iron-like body. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell forward onto the ground.
Behind him, the entrance he had been supporting for so long was blocked once again by rocks.
Li Gui clenched his right fist, the multiple arms that had just grown all flailing as he gave a savage grin.
“Leave?”
“It’s a bit late to leave now...”
“Stay... here.”
Logically, if a person aberrated, they should completely lose their mind and become a walking corpse.
But Li Gui could still speak and even use his Word Soul. Wan Qianhong asked, “Li Gui? Do you still know who you are!”
“Stay here!” Li Gui ignored her completely. His fist tightened, the space shook, and countless pieces of rubble fell from above like a missile volley.
...
“Ugh...”
Bai Feifei rubbed her head. After she had jumped down that hole, the Old-Timer had suddenly returned control of her body to her.
This resulted in her body going into a direct free fall.
However, the expected scenario of being half-killed by the fall didn't happen. It felt as if she had landed on an elastic cushion, and now she only felt a bit dizzy.
“As expected... my guess was right.”
Xu Mo’s voice rang out in her mind. Bai Feifei struggled to stand up and asked, “Where are we?”
Xu Mo replied with a wicked smile, “Hehe, we might be inside the body of an Evil God of the Old Days right now~”
