Chapter 1604: Chapter 479: Out of Control (Part 3)
Between the falling black bangs, the heartbroken Ye Shiyu saw Yan Huan raise his bloodshot eyes slightly.
Through the gaps in his bangs, he stared intently in the direction of Sakuragi Hitomi and the others...
Then, he gently raised his hand.
"Xiao Huan!"
At this moment, his demeanor, and even the aura of the space around him, suddenly changed.
Realizing what he was about to do, Ye Shiyu’s expression shifted dramatically for the first time. She gritted her teeth and rushed toward Yan Huan, desperate to stop him.
In the distance, Sakuragi Hitomi and the others immediately felt a terrifying sense of oppression approaching.
"Not good..."
"Meow?!"
Meow’s expression changed drastically, and Little Thumb immediately shrank behind An Le’s neck.
Feeling the indescribable energy closing in, Sakuragi Hitomi closed her eyes and cried out with a sob,
"Stop, President!!"
"Stop, Xiao Huan!!"
Almost simultaneously, Ye Shiyu hugged the hollow-eyed, intensely staring Yan Huan tightly and hoarsely yelled out.
"Buzz!!"
A violent gust of wind howled past, tossing Sakuragi Hitomi’s long hair wildly in the air.
Her petite body could hardly stand, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
"Hah... hah..."
But soon, everything fell silent, as if the whole world was left with only her breathing.
"Sigh..."
The next second, Sakuragi Hitomi opened her eyes in a daze.
Looking around, she, Meow, and the other women were all...
Completely unscathed!
They were merely caught in the gust, closing their eyes in place, at most with their legs weakened by the wind, slightly kneeling on the ground.
But at this moment, the entire world eerily quieted.
"..."
In the dead silence, Sakuragi Hitomi turned her head back in shock.
Behind her, Heather and even the black-clothed men from the Golden Lion Group had lost consciousness, collapsed on the ground, motionless.
But that wasn’t the scariest part...
The scariest part was that, in Sakuragi Hitomi’s vision, the terrifying energy seemed to continue spreading toward the distance.
It spread rapidly over Linmen’s land like an invisible fan-shaped wave, snuffing out lights block by block...
In the distance, the Golden Lion Building was still visible at the horizon’s end.
"Whoosh!"
"Crack...crack..."
At the top of the Golden Lion Group’s building, Alvira was having dinner with Aria.
But the next second, she heard the violent rattling of the windows, as if battered by a relentless storm.
She paused a moment, turned her head to look over, only to find...
Outside, Linmen City District was pitch black, as if a collective blackout had occurred.
The bizarre situation left her momentarily stunned, just about to get up and investigate.
Beside her, Aria, who was eating a hamburger, suddenly stood up, sensing something.
She grabbed her mother, shielding Alvira behind her, and stared blankly out the window.
"Aria..."
"Rumble!"
Alvira was still puzzled, but the next second, an invisible wave suddenly swept over, causing her heart to skip.
Simultaneously, the golden lights of Golden Lion Building went out, plunging into total darkness.
The upper floor room fell into darkness, and a sense of terror came rushing with the darkness, causing her body to instinctively soften...
But the next moment, the invisible terror just passed by Alvira.
As if, deliberately avoiding...
Aria?
"..."
In the darkness, Alvira inexplicably felt something and raised her eyes to look at her daughter who was protecting her.
At this moment, there seemed to be a kind of magic on her that Alvira couldn’t understand.
Alvira opened her mouth, as if wanting to ask something, but was distracted by the commotion from downstairs due to the blackout.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
There was a knock on the door.
"Lady Alvira, something seems to have happened, the whole building... No, it seems like a significant part of Linmen is also in blackout..."
"A significant part?"
"Yes, um, it’s hard to explain. You should come and see for yourself. It’s very... strange."
"..."
Hearing this, Alvira frowned even more.
From a high altitude view of Linmen, one might understand what the outside world meant by "strange."
Currently, the originally brightly lit Linmen had a massive, orderly, black fan-shaped zone spreading from the villa area of the Ye Mansion outward.
The area of the fan was unknown, spreading all the way to the ocean before it seemed to stop.
And within that magnificently extensive fan shape, countless buildings were without power, along with many bewildered residents.
"..."
At the fan’s origin, the swing where Yan Huan had sat was tossed aside, into the disordered sandy ground.
Ye Shiyu, chilled all over, held the downcast Yan Huan tightly in her embrace, gradually pressing down the hand he had raised...
If she hadn’t, Xiao Huan’s modifier might’ve still...
"Xiao Huan... calm down, I’m here... I’m here..."
She clutched Yan Huan’s body, attempting to ignite his spirit with her warmth and words.
But she forgot that her own body was just as cold.
"..."
At least, her words seemed to awaken something in Yan Huan.
His body trembled slightly, then gradually leaned his head against Ye Shiyu’s shoulder,
"Why..."
He suddenly spoke, with the burning pain caused by the Evil God’s deceit, slowly and painfully regaining clarity.
Hence, he could only ask,
"Why... do I have nothing left..."
"...Xiao Huan, you still have me, you have us..."
"..."
Hearing Ye Shiyu’s words, Yan Huan’s body trembled slightly.
Soon after, Ye Shiyu felt him lift his head slightly.
"Yes, I only have you guys..."
Listening to Yan Huan’s gradually hopeful words, Ye Shiyu couldn’t help but relax internally.
"So... no matter what..."
But yet...
She couldn’t feel any joy.
Because she watched helplessly as Yan Huan tremulously stood up.
In his hand, several just-obtained crab coins hung down.
"Ding..."
As she watched the crab coins, stained with Yan Huan’s blood, drop to the ground and disappear without a trace, returning to Yan Huan’s side, Ye Shiyu opened her mouth.
Then, she touched her own face and clothes...
Only then did she realize her attire had also become stained with Yan Huan’s blood during their embrace.
But in front of her, Yan Huan seemed unaware, staring blankly into the distance, and quietly said,
"Let’s go, Sister Shiyu... there’s just a little bit left..."
"..."
Ye Shiyu looked at his injuries and exhaustion, then at the expression on his face, revealing the countless wounds of his soul...
She opened her mouth as if she couldn’t bear it, as if wanting to speak.
But seeing Yan Huan’s eyes still flickering with the last glimmer of hope, she ultimately...
Could not bring herself to say anything.
Only nodded, looked back in the direction of Sakuragi Hitomi and the others, hesitantly replying,
"...Alright."
