The Snow Shadow Wolf suddenly let out a warning growl, and the hair on the back of Su Ye's neck stood up. Three tranquilizer bullets flew past his ears, and the moment they were nailed into the stone wall of the bell tower, a purple poisonous mist exploded. The mechanical exoskeleton of the pursuers appeared in the firelight, and the leader's visor projected a holographic wanted order - next to Su Ye's three-dimensional image, there was a scarlet letter: **Ancient Jade Contaminated Body, Reward 30 Million Credit Points**.
"Jump!" Ye Wuhen's chain blade cut off two sneak attacking roots. The Snow Shadow Wolf grabbed Su Ye's collar and jumped down. The airflow from the 30-meter high altitude lifted the boy's faded forehead hair. In the palpitations brought by weightlessness, he saw his reflection on the shop glass - the star pattern on his left eye was spreading along his temple, and the thorn pattern was intertwined into a broken crown.
Mo Yan curled up in the refrigerator of the supermarket ruins, the roots of the red lotus penetrated his scapula and nailed the boy to the melting ice cream cabinet. The pursuer's tranquilizer bullet penetrated the iron shelf, but vaporized into poisonous mist when it touched the protruding red lotus pattern on his spine. The black fire sprayed by the boy when he roared wrapped the petals and melted the iron frame of the shelf into red molten iron.
"Give my sister back to me!" Mo Yan's fist pounded the ground, bloody and fleshy, and the magma-like pattern ran under his skin. Su Ye's back of the hand suddenly burned, and the countdown number flashed wildly in "4 years, 11 months, and 15 days". The snow shadow wolf brought an ice storm to collapse the load-bearing wall. In the thick fog caused by the collision of ice crystals and flames, Su Ye touched a half-burned nameplate-under the steel stamp of "Xingqi Calendar 1997 Containment-07", he could vaguely make out the two words "Mo Li".
The karmic fire suddenly condensed into a giant python and attacked, but it suddenly collapsed when it touched the tip of Su Ye's star-blue hair. The lion head tattoo on Mo Yan's back opened amber vertical pupils, and the red lotus roots began to twitch like spasms. Seven bone spurs burst out of the boy's spine, and his nails transformed into sharp keratin: "You smell like her..." He tore his shirt, and a burning star map appeared on his chest, "You contract masters, all of you should be burned by the karmic fire!"
Su Ye's fingertips pierced into his palm, and the blood beads evaporated into mist before they fell to the ground. When the blood mist seeped into the red lotus behind Mo Yan, the bronze box suddenly opened automatically. Half of the ancient jade floated up and resonated with something in the boy's body. The mechanical dogs of the pursuers suddenly turned their guns, and the data flow in their electronic eyes became turbulent and scarlet.
"Secondary pollution source confirmed." The leader's visor emitted a synthesized voice, "Execute the cleanup procedure." Twelve pulse cannons were charged at the same time, and the blue light illuminated Mo Yan's distorted face. The ice shield of the Snow Shadow Wolf shattered in the artillery fire, and Su Ye's white hair suddenly grew wildly, and the star-blue hair entangled the joints of the three mechanical dogs. The moment he pulled the hair, the alloy skeleton broke like a cookie.
"Using the blood contract to force resonance, you are crazier than your father!" Ye Wuhen's chain blade crushed the pulse cannon barrel, and the oil splashed on his bronze mask with a sizzling sound. Su Ye's white hair has fallen to his waist, and the starlight flowing between his hair is repairing the charred skin on his palm. The red lotus pattern climbed along his right arm, and bronze scales emerged wherever it passed, and the nails gradually sharpened into the shape of animal claws.
Madam Hong's crystal heels crushed the flames, and the mechanical prosthesis exposed at the slit of her cheongsam ejected a syringe. Mo Yan wanted to struggle, but the electromagnetic spikes on the tip of her shoes pierced his ankle: "What a naughty little cutie." When the crimson liquid was injected into the back of the boy's neck, Su Ye smelled the familiar cedar scent - exactly the same as the labels of the specimen bottles containing the fetuses of star beasts in his father's laboratory.
When the blood beads splashed on Su Ye's face, his blood suddenly boiled. The red lotus pendant on Madam Hong's neck swayed slightly, and the core of the pendant was inlaid with the half of the ancient jade that was missing from the bronze box. The treasure-hunting rat rushed out of the ruins and took the ruby on the syringe. At the moment, the burning Leo Palace totem appeared on the back of Su Ye's hand.
"Be careful of the life sellers." The kiss that Madam Hong blew before disappearing was wrapped in poisonous mist, but it condensed into ice flowers when it touched the ice crystals of the Snow Shadow Wolf. Su Ye's countdown suddenly jumped back fifteen days, and the lion head tattoo on Mo Yan's back exploded. Twelve roots projected holographic coordinates on the wall. Among the ruins of the ruins of the Star Dome Beast Alliance, the altar surrounded by twelve bronze coffins could be vaguely seen.
Qian Shisan's coin drew a parabola in the moonlight, and when it landed, it was embedded vertically in the concrete crack. This life seller with a scanner in his right eye was using a laser to engrave a scarlet formula on the dangerous wall:
[1 year of life = 3 grams of star marrow]
[Soul purity ≥ 89% negotiable]
[Our store recycles pollution sources, price negotiable]
Mo Yan twitched on the floor of the temporary shelter, and the red lotus pattern had already climbed up behind his ears. When Su Ye suppressed him with the bronze box, the protruding roots under the boy's skin suddenly erupted. Qian Shisan's mechanical prosthetic eyes popped out and turned into tweezers to clamp the runaway roots: "Three months of life, in exchange for one hour of wakefulness." Before Su Ye could answer, the countdown had changed from "4 years, 10 months, 22 days" to "4 years, 7 months, 22 days".
The boy coughed up a blood clot with petals: "They are making a red lotus container... My sister is locked up in..." Before he finished speaking, the star map tattoo on his back suddenly activated, and the red lotus roots projected a clear image on the wall - Mo Li was entangled in the roots into a cocoon, and the ancient jade fragment inlaid on his forehead perfectly matched the Red Lady pendant.
The Snow Shadow Wolf's hair fell off in large areas, and the newly grown dragon scales glowed blue in the moonlight. The bronze box trembled violently, and Su Ye's white hair grew in reverse. When his hair color returned to snow-white, he saw the bronze coffin in the center of the altar clearly - the wolf star pattern engraved on the surface of the coffin lid echoed the crown of thorns on his left eye.
Qian Shisan's coins suddenly all stood up, and he showed his mechanical gums: "Friendly reminder, the purchase price of the star marrow will increase by 30% at midnight." Twelve bells rang outside the window, and the first red lotus bud bloomed in the moonlight, with Mo Li's painful face floating in the center of the flower.
Qian Shisan's mechanical prosthetic eye projected a spider web-like laser in the rain, and Su Ye's combat boots sank into the humus mud at the subway station entrance. The bronze box vibrated violently in his arms, and the blue light path projected by the star pattern on the box surface squirmed on the subway station wall like a living blood vessel. The rusty gate made a whine when it touched the box body, and the rust peeled off to reveal the star pattern gears covered with verdigris inside.
"Follow the light!" The snow shadow wolf's tail lashed Su Ye's calf heavily, and the ice crystal mane unique to the adult was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. When Mo Yan climbed out of the sewage pipe, the red lotus pattern under the blood vessels in his neck had spread to behind his ears, and his skin was stretched by the energy to form spider web cracks. The boy stabbed the tranquilizer dart into his collarbone with his backhand: "They use my spine as a signal tower... Go!"
The entrance to the rift was a suspended water-wave-like film. The moment Su Ye stepped in, he felt a tearing sensation at the cellular level. The tunnel walls oozed black mucus, in which floated the skeletons of the Star Markers—the surfaces of those skeletons were engraved with the same runes as the bronze box. The countdown on the back of his hand suddenly made a sharp buzzing sound, and the numbers changed from 4 years, 7 months, and 22 days to 3 years, 11 months, and 15 days.
Three beast-like pursuers smashed the load-bearing columns, and the leader still had half a police armor hanging on his wolf claws. The Snow Shadow Wolf let out a deterrent growl, and the last ice crystals of the adult body condensed into prisms in the air, and the refracted strong light made the pursuers' movements stop for half a second. Su Ye dragged Mo Yan into the rift, and the unique electric sound of Qian Shisan's mechanical vocal cords came from behind: "Little Amber, you can't escape the petri dish."
The moonlight in the mirror world is cobalt blue mixed with fluorescent powder, which makes the gray fur of the Snow Shadow Wolf glow with pearly luster. The cub-like wolf is biting the throat of the phosphorescent beast with its milk teeth. The attack that should be fatal is like a puppy playing. Su Ye's white hair is turning into metal. When the hair tip sweeps over the phosphorescent beast, the star-patterned blue fur of those monsters instantly crystallizes.
Mo Yan sat slumped in the glowing moss, and the red lotus pattern swam strangely under his skin: "Energy conservation... The strong people in the real world are here..." He suddenly coughed up a blood clot with petals, "It will degenerate into the energy source form."
Twelve pairs of phosphorescent eyes lit up deep in the giant mushroom forest, and the blood vessels under the monster's fur glowed with the same star-patterned blue light as the Snow Shadow Wolf's paw pads. Su Ye picked up the young wolf with its fur standing on end, and found that the microscopic star patterns on its pink flesh balls were absorbing the moonlight. When the first phosphorescent fire beast pounced on him, he instinctively waved his white hair - the metal hair cut off the monster's forelimbs, and the star marrow sprayed from the wound actually condensed in the air into the shape of a flask in his father's laboratory.
Qing Lan's guide stick came through the air, and the shock wave generated by the star pattern on the tip of the stick and the resonance of the bronze box shattered the giant mushroom within ten meters. The blind girl with a skirt covered with fluorescent spores "stared" at Su Ye with her empty green eyes: "The alliance monument is devouring your time, just like it devoured them twenty years ago."
Su Ye staggered suddenly - the thorn star pattern on his left eye was forcing memories into his mind: the twelve star pattern users were chained through the bronze tablet, and Qinglan knelt in front of the tablet and used a guide stick to carve the seal. The star pattern energy of those people was flowing to the center of the tablet through the chains, and the bronze box suspended in the vortex was the one delivered by Ye Wuhen.
The moment the guide stick was inserted into the wetland, the star pattern chains that emerged from the ground let out a prisoner-like wail. Qinglan's stick tip touched Su Ye's brow, and he suddenly saw a double scene in his left eye - the blind girl in reality overlapped with the black-haired priestess in his memory. On a rainy night twenty years ago, the twelve star pattern users withered on the bronze tablet, and their spines were being drained of energy by the stick tip in Qinglan's hand.
