Chapter 002: The Mysterious Water of Rebirth

This is, perhaps, the tears of a crocodile

I am no longer interested

The man was somewhat surprised and asked her:

Her decision will not change, nor will his. What can be done is to avoid being swayed by his persuasive words, which could affect her own state. That would lower her chances of success in the life-and-death struggle she will soon face

The nearest arriving visitor is over 300 meters away. In the rankings of heroes, assassins, and guardians, you are in fifth place, and considering other skilled individuals, you could probably rank ninth. However, when facing me, you only have one opportunity to strike. I will let you go first

The man smiled, shifting the topic elsewhere, calm and amiable, and asked her: "Do you not believe this legend? Or are you surprised that you have never heard of it before?"

But there was no sadness on his face; he wiped away his tears and gently said

The man kept his promise and did not speak again along the way. Silently assisting her out of the car, he held her hand and, under the guidance of the robotic tour guide, they entered and viewed three lakes with different colored stone caves.

She felt incredible; her bodily functions had almost completely recovered. What delighted and amazed her even more was that she could even sense the still young and fragile soul within her belly, which had not disappeared

I truly do not wish to kill you; it is not worth sacrificing a life for the sake of maintaining a lie

Fair maiden, you should understand my feelings for you

Facing Lin Hongyan, he gently and slowly shook his head

Professor Xin? It is truly surprising that he would utter such scientifically unfounded statements

The Way

Lin Hongyan did not respond to this remark, even though it made her feel belittled. The color of her eyes gradually changed, covered by a layer of purple sheen

When he put the mask back on, he had already turned and walked away

The sky outside the car is gradually gathering dark clouds, and a storm along with * illustrations * will soon arrive

In the end, someone asked what lies beneath the lake.

Several women mentioned that there are dry clothes available for change at the hotel not far from the scenic area

Lin Hongyan's interest was indeed piqued by this topic; Professor Xin's matters were truly worthy of her curiosity. Words spoken by someone who was recognized as the foremost figure in the scientific community throughout history make it difficult not to pay attention.

I must say, you have misunderstood. However, knowing that you would not believe me, I choose to remain silent out of respect for you

The other individuals, concerned, called out and reached out early to pull her in

Science is merely a product required by the development of the times; it is not an eternal theme, nor is it the absolute truth. It is precisely because Professor Xin has a profound understanding of science that he realizes it cannot explain everything. In fact, the water in the magical zone was fundamentally created based on the teachings of Professor Xin. In the years leading up to his death, he collected a wealth of materials and formulas related to ancient mystical theories, using them as a foundation to create various mutated liquids, intending to cultivate new life forms, but unfortunately, he did not live to see that day

Lin Hongyan quietly began to swim towards the lake. The man stopped his actions, a hint of regret evident in his eyes. Although his gaze was not devoid of concern, it still left her feeling somewhat disdainful

I am very sorry," the man said apologetically as he paid off the robotic tour guide. The half-human-like machine, with its rotating disc and spraying apparatus, quickly vanished from the sight of the two.

I was captivated just by looking at it, and before I knew it, I had fallen in. I thought, since I was already soaked, I might as well dive down to see what it looked like. I truly apologize for the trouble I caused you

She can imagine the appearance of this moment; she feels sorrow, but it is for the child in her womb, who is surely doomed

She made herself recall the scenes of many men committing murder in the past, ensuring she clearly remembered the similar words he had said at that time, constantly reminding herself that they all employed the same psychological tactics

She directly and decisively chose the latter, bringing the message of functional death into the consciousness of the man before her

She felt pain as the lake water crazily seeped into her body. A red light emanated from her body, deeper and brighter than the color of the lake water.

The man's fist struck her lower abdomen

She never imagined that one day she would be willing to change herself and give up everything for someone else

She is a psychic, and her ability allows her to enter another person's neural consciousness through mental telepathy. By inducing fear, despair, excitement, and other emotions generated from her own feelings, she can render the other person uncontrollable and unable to manage themselves

If you do not reveal the true nature of the lake's waters to me, perhaps I could maintain my interest and explore a few more places

Her consciousness was on the verge of dissipating, her body had become grotesquely and terrifyingly deformed, with carbonized and decayed skin, swollen and mutated bones, resembling a monster

Machines serve humanity, providing comfort while simultaneously replacing human roles. When the day comes that everything can be replaced by machines, humanity will lose its value of existence

She no longer responded, turning her head to look out the window

Lin Hongyan responded in this manner. When the men began to take notice of her figure, they were disappointed to find that her corpulence was truly disheartening, utterly unworthy of that beautiful face.

Let the tour guide go; we will go to Honghu Cave by ourselves

In the magical realm, the largest lake cave is the Red Lake

She no longer wished to struggle, wanting to let her consciousness dissipate, as if she were on the brink of death

Someone asked her, "How did you fall down?"

Moreover, it is possible to convey a message to the other party's consciousness, stating, "I have already died and - the - book, the functions of my body have completely ceased," causing the other party's sensory system to experience hallucinations, as if their vital points have been injured, thereby achieving the purpose of swiftly killing without a trace.

Lin Hongyan was secretly laughing in her heart

She secretly mourned for the child; no matter what, this child was destined to be without a father

The man's voice conveyed a sense of helplessness and amusement

This issue is actually illogical, as her position emerging from the water is close to the center

Lin Hongyan temporarily set aside her emotions; she was a very calm and rational person. Like him, but at this moment, she truly had no desire to converse with him as they had in the past, responding lazily:

This is quite normal. Let me tell you about the person behind this legend; it is Professor Xin, who has long since passed away, and I fear that no one else has heard of him.

He raised his hand, removed the silver mask from his face, revealing a handsome visage with sharp features, and a pair of melancholic eyes that overflowed with tears

In the mysterious realm of spiritual consciousness, she clearly saw and felt the changes in the man's emotions, which manifested as a nearly transparent, irregular gray shape, writhing rapidly

If the man knew that she and the child were still alive, he would definitely come back to kill her

There were both men and women, and among them was a man who quickly realized the situation. He swiftly removed his outer clothing and took off the burdens from his body one by one. It was evident that he intended to go down to rescue her

Her eyes can no longer see

Lin Hongyan's body sank to the bottom of the water in one breath under the impact of the man's punch.

This process is extremely brief; under the influence of her supernatural ability, it takes only a moment. She perceives the changes in the man's emotional state, yet the man is not dead.

She had long since cultivated her energy, altering her physique and somewhat her appearance. From this moment on, she must disappear from all eyes, both known and unknown

Amidst the sound of splashing, the man watched her body sink deeper into the water.

But his actions are too slow. And the books

This water reminded her of fresh blood. It evoked the cruelty of blood flowing out, and her heart gradually grew cold, as a murderous intent began to spread.

The man has spoken

It is impossible not to believe in a saying: a woman who becomes a mother will inevitably become great. Even someone as cold-blooded as her, a standout in the world of assassins.

Lin Hongyan steadied her emotions, suppressed the anger in her heart, and maintained a calm tone as she said: "Is that so? That's fine, anyway, I indeed want to go and take a look there"

Her bodily functions are rapidly recovering, encountering the ancient male's functional capacity, akin to the tissue mutations caused by nuclear radiation, which quickly reorganize under the influence of the red water

"Park here, and let's see if you, the world's number one, can easily kill me, Lin Hongyan!"

The man continued speaking, and she felt ashamed. Finally, unable to hold back, she asked him in return:

The mud truly contains nothing extraordinary

This inexpensive robot is just like this. One is one, and two is two. There are no functions that simulate human emotional responses.

The rapid heartbeat of the man, the dilated blood vessels, and the taut nerves clearly indicate that he has perceived the illusion as reality, subsequently believing that the injuries and death he sees in the illusion are real, until he determines that he has indeed died.

When she was about to head to the fourth attraction, the cave, she spoke up

A burst of gray energy erupted from the fist, followed by a powerful shockwave that forcefully propelled Lin Hongyan's body into the Red Lake, creating splashes of water that sprayed in all directions, striking the ceiling of the cave several zhang high

Her body finally sank to the bottom of the lake, carrying with it the residual force of impact, colliding with the mud, and then slowly rising again

Her consciousness returned to her body, and her physical form felt countless pains, not illusions, as if the destruction caused by numerous nuclear radiations was instantaneously intensified. She clearly understood how many irretrievable destructive changes had occurred to her flesh in that fleeting moment.

Her thoughts have already collapsed

The man is still speaking

Lin Hongyan felt another wave of disgust

Am I really that foolish in your eyes

Lin Hongyan made an awkward and embarrassed expression, saying somewhat apologetically

Lin Hongyan closed her mouth after listening

She decided not to engage in this conversation, as she understood the man's subtext and was aware of his intentions

The technological strength of the Red Nation, which allows it to far surpass other countries and take the lead, can be said to be entirely attributed to Professor Xin

Two minutes later, she surfaced from the water. The man was nowhere to be seen, and a few tourists, still interested in the view at this late hour, looked at her with surprise and curiosity by the lakeside

Although she did not need it, she still took the hand of a woman, and with their assistance, made her way to the shore. A woman with large eyes quickly took off her coat and draped it over her. A group of people surrounded her, asking concerned questions as they walked outside.

The man held her hand, which was about to deactivate the flying car system, and said with a smile: "No need to rush, I promised to accompany you to that viewpoint. If we don't go today, there may not be another opportunity in the future. Moreover, I have heard that the red lake water in the magical zone has the power of resurrection. I hope to kill you there; if such miraculous effects truly exist, it could bring miracles for both of us."

The men laughed and said she had a great body. The women remarked that she really did not take care of herself, dressing like that in such cold weather

All are present

The man sighed with great regret

The vividly bright red color of the water, shimmering on the surface, is said to be a result of continuous chemical reactions with the air, which create glowing specks. This chemical reaction continuously increases the volume of the red water

Regardless, she must survive at the hands of this man, for herself and for the life within her. This is not for the man beside her; it is for her own existence, for her own flesh and blood
