The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Hello? Oh... I understand, don't worry, I had expected it... You? No, you don't need to act rashly yet... Okay, if there is no problem, hang up first, so as not to arouse Cocolia's suspicion."

"That was just now..."

Mei originally wanted to remind Mikael not to talk on the phone while driving, but when she heard Cocolia's name, her attention was immediately diverted.

She didn't know who Cocolia was, nor did she know about this woman's entanglement with Lightning Ryoma. The reason why she paid attention to this name was just because she was mentioned in the news related to ME Agency——

Yesterday morning, her father was taken away by the police for investigation on suspicion of economic fraud. At noon, they came to the conclusion of "conclusive evidence" and was directly detained in a detention center. In the afternoon, the board of directors of ME Society confirmed the new president candidate, which was unexpected. Everyone expected that the person who was worried about the new president was not any member of the previous ME Society board of directors, nor any one of the former ME Society management, but a name that no one had heard of: Cocolia.

Of course, no one has ever heard of this and it needs to be put in quotation marks. To ordinary people, Cocolia is indeed a completely unfamiliar name, but to the insiders of Tianming, Anti-Entropy, and Taixu, this name is loud enough.

Mikael knew all this, but when faced with Mei Yi's question, he didn't seem to want to explain more. While hanging up the phone, he softly uttered one word:

"Informant."

"oh."

Mei Yi nodded obediently, but less than a second later, she asked without giving up:

"Kokolia, she and my father..."

Mei Yi is really not stupid, or in other words, the logic that the biggest beneficiary of a bad thing is often the initiator of it is a logic that any normal person can understand, not to mention that Mei Yi is already smart?

"Um……"

Mikael snorted noncommittally and was about to say something else. As his finger slid across the phone screen, he suddenly changed his words:

"Huh? This is..."

"What's wrong?"

"Haha, it's nothing. Some people are still self-aware."

Mikael smiled sarcastically, clicked on Xiaosong's mobile phone number, which he had been unable to access because he was talking to Raven, and clicked to dial——

"Du-du-du-"

After three busy signals, a soft and cold female voice sounded:

"Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off his phone."

"Um???"

Mikael's brows frowned, and countless wavy threads suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. With the help of the power of the second and third Herrschers, he effortlessly found the location of Xiaosong and others.

"Mei."

"Um!"

"It seems that before going home today, I have to help people solve some troubles."

"Uh... you just decide."

Meiyi, who was sitting in the back row, turned sideways and saw the familiar street scene through the front windshield - it was very close to home, but Mikael had no intention of putting her down to deal with things. It was obvious that The so-called "trouble" is indeed troublesome enough.

"Don't be nervous. No matter what happens later, don't be surprised. Do you understand?"

Mikael comforted her without looking back, and Mei nodded silently, keeping her upper body straight and holding the armrest of the car door tightly with her right hand.

Almost at the same time she finished these actions, Mikael turned the steering wheel suddenly, and the car turned directly into a narrow uninhabited alley.

"Ah! Be careful!"

Despite Mikael's warning in advance, Mei couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw a black round hole suddenly being torn out of the good space.

But instead of braking, Mikael pressed the accelerator to the floor, and the car rushed directly into the "black hole." It seemed that in just the blink of an eye, the scene in front of her became bright again, but Mei Yi was not in the mood to observe carefully, nor could she observe it carefully. Her whole body seemed to be tied to an iron frame and turned around thousands of times. Everything in her sight was turning upside down and turning irregularly like patterns in a kaleidoscope. Her stomach was also turbulent, and she could only cover it with her hands. mouth, barely suppressing the desire to vomit.

"Haha, it won't feel good even if you experience this for the first time. Just get used to it in the future."

Mikael still had the guts to make a moderate joke. Of course, with Mei Yi's current state, it was hard to tell whether he could hear it clearly.

After about half a minute, Mei felt that the speed of the reverse rotation in her vision was gradually slowing down, and the feeling of vomiting had also weakened a lot. The reason for this was probably because the car was parked firmly on the side of the road.

"Are we here? Ugh—"

Meiyi asked, but accidentally aroused the desire to vomit again. She quickly covered her mouth again and curled her body inward.

"Does it feel uncomfortable?"

Mikael had unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out of the car. He noticed Mei Yi's discomfort, so he thoughtfully lowered the rear seat window.

"No, don't - ugh -"

Mikael frowned suddenly and immediately closed the car window again.

"Are you already late?"

Mei Yi only felt that the feeling of vomiting became stronger the moment she opened the car window. As for why, she still doesn't understand.

But for Mikael, all this is too familiar - "The smell of blood... such a strong smell of blood..."

"Xiao Hei, static defense mode."

All the color-changing indicators in the car light up green at the same time. Xiaohei is not equipped with an intelligent voice module. Such lights are probably equivalent to the meaning of "understand".

Mikael reached out and rubbed Mei's head again.

"You stay here and don't move around. No matter what happens later, as long as I don't come back, don't get out of the car. Do you understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

Mei nodded heavily, and with Mikael's touch, her physical discomfort gradually subsided.

"Snapped--"

Mikael jumped out of the car and quickly closed the door.

The car stopped close to the wall of a house. After getting out of the car, Mikael first looked around. This area was surrounded by low-rise bungalows, and the mottled paint on the wall was unusual even though it was dinner time. Judging from the quiet atmosphere, there may not be many people actually living here. Otherwise, those fools would not have chosen this place to hide people after kidnapping.

He continued to move along the wall, and after walking about twelve or three steps, he saw the closed door of the house.

When we got here, the smell of blood became even stronger, but there weren't many people living around anyway. Besides, Mikael's sense of smell was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Most of them were normal people, like Mei, who didn't understand.

"when!"

The copper lock on the door was pulled directly off by Mikael, and there was only a crisp low sound.

"dumb--"

Mikael slowly pushed the door open, and when it was less than a slap away, the door was blocked by something.

He did not rashly use force to create a miracle, but turned sideways and carefully pushed open the other door panel.

"dumb--"

The heartbreaking sound sounded again, but fortunately this time the door panel was not stuck.

"Well?"

As soon as he entered the door, there was a sputtering line of blood on the killing ground in the courtyard. Mikael pushed back the door panel with his backhand and pressed the door panel shut with his back. Soon, only irregular blood lines remained in the entire courtyard. The sound of "salsa" seems to be the whirling of weeds and shrubs.

"call……"

Mikael glanced at the blood stains in the courtyard. The shape of the splash was very much like water being poured out, but occasionally there were irregular splashes in the opposite direction, which meant that the direction of the blood splashing had changed...

Of course, the most important thing is that the blood line is pointing diagonally at Mikael - pointing half a step to his side.

Mikael lowered his head, looked at his feet, and finally discovered what was blocking the door panel - a severed hand.

Mikael leaned down and picked up the severed hand that had not completely lost its temperature. While lifting the severed hand upward, several long tendons twitched and beat in mid-air like lifted instant noodles.

"The cut was not smooth, and the tendons were pulled out... This hand was not cut off with a sharp weapon, but... torn off with force... Is it really her..."

Mikael casually threw the severed hand to the ground and continued walking towards the largest room in the courtyard.

"Crack-"

As soon as his feet stepped on the wooden floor, he felt the unique stickiness of blood. Mikael readjusted to the dimming light after sunset, and saw long blood stains under his feet, mixed with some small pieces. piece.

After confirming the identity of the other party, Mikael was not as anxious as he was at first. If she really woke up successfully, there would be no need to worry about her safety, not to mention the tragic scene at the scene confirmed this.

Mikael slowly squatted down, picked up a small solid fragment wrapped in the blood, and gently crushed it between his fingertips.

"The pieces of the liver..."

He twisted another piece, but this time it felt completely different. The texture was hard, and it took a little effort to grind it into powder.

"Is it a piece of bone? It's so hard, it looks like it's a skull."

He pressed his palm into the blood again. As expected, even in such a cold weather, the blood, the previous liver fragments, and the severed hand at the door had not completely cooled down.

"It took a total of twenty-three seconds from when Komatsu called me to when I hung up on Natasha. From when I hung up the phone to when I rushed to the scene, it took no more than two minutes. In a maximum of two minutes and twenty-three seconds... …”

Mikael looked at the shape of the blood stain and felt the difference in temperature. Then he walked to the left and turned the corner. He saw a blurry piece of flesh and blood crawling on the sand. Its movements had no rhythm. Sometimes Wriggling like a bug, what remains unchanged is that every time he moves, his body rubs against the sand, making a "shuzzy" sound.

"This is……"

Mikael walked quickly to the pile of flesh and blood, and finally saw its shape clearly - it was indeed a human... well, it used to be a human. Only the upper body was left, and the alveoli could be seen constantly rising and expanding at the fracture. It crawled forward with support from both arms, but the front end of its left arm was empty. Half of his head was missing, and his pink-white brain was shaking like jelly, not sure whether it was following the rhythm of his breathing or his heartbeat. The skull fracture is still irregular, and there are four obvious half-hole shapes, which are probably the marks left by the fingers digging in.

Probably hearing the footsteps, its movements suddenly froze, then turned around extremely slowly and raised its head slightly. This movement made Mikael afraid that its brains would flow out from the opening of its skull.

It finally opened its eyes just a slit. It was so injured that Mikael didn't know if it could still see itself clearly... It probably did. Mikael saw a trace of life in its eyes, and then The lips move slightly:

"Mikael...er..."

"Is it you? Xiaosong?"

Mei Yi’s former driver was very kind to her, but...

A series of thoughts flashed through Mikael's mind, but Komatsu did not respond. He just looked at Mikael directly, and then habitually stretched out his empty right arm towards Mikael, and said subconsciously Thinking:

"help me……"

It seemed to have taken a lot of effort to open its mouth as wide as it could, bleeding out. Unfortunately...

"bass--"

What greeted him was not help, but the tip of the spear that penetrated from the open mouth and emerged from the back of the head.

"Wow——"

Mikael twisted the tip of the gun, and Komatsu's body instantly turned into ashes and scattered in the wind of the winter night.

"Save you? That's right... However, living in this world is too painful. Rather than letting you experience another death soon, it's better to rest in peace earlier. Anyway, at the end of the story... Anyway, it's here At the end of the story, everyone dies."

Xiaosong had died long ago, and his physical form had disappeared, but in the suddenly crazy night wind, Mikael murmured to himself to the dust flying all over the sky.

After saying these words, he turned around and walked towards the house without any hesitation.

"Snapped--"

He stepped on Xiaosong's lower body at the door, kicked it away, and then pushed open the door of the house.

"Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock..."

The sound of dripping liquid echoed in the darkness, which was duller than water drops because blood was more viscous than water.

Mikael stood in front of the door and stared into the darkness for a full second. Of course he was not in a daze, but the moment the door opened, the faint sobs could no longer be concealed. Mikael just used this second to determine Xi'er's position. Once the position was determined, he immediately stepped into the pool of blood level with the instep.

Along the way, he stepped on many stiff and soft objects. Without even thinking about it, he knew that they were pieces of meat whose parts he could no longer identify. He just walked to the door of the deepest room. The closer he got, the louder the sobs. It's becoming more and more obvious.

"Xie'er..."

Mikael stretched out his hand, slowly turned the door handle, and then slowly pushed the door open.

In the secret room without a trace of light, the smell of blood and smoke lingered together, and the girl was curled up in the corner farthest from the door, burying her head between her knees and crying.

Mikael's other foot has not yet stepped indoors.

What should he say?

What could he say?

What attitude should he take towards this completely unfamiliar Xi'er?

What attitude should he take to face that... Xi'er whom he hasn't seen for a long time?

Until this moment, he realized that he was not prepared for this reunion that was not a reunion.

Are you looking forward to this moment of reunion so much that you forget how to face everything after the reunion, or are you not taking this reunion to heart at all, so you are not making any preparations?

Having the power of consciousness, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he just took another step toward the house based on inertia.

"clatter--"

This step was too heavy, and the sound it made was so noticeable in this silent night.

Xi'er trembled all over, then slowly raised her head.

With no more room to think, Mikael walked to Xi'er step by step, neither fast nor slow.

Xi'er's body shrank back desperately, but the hard wall made it impossible for her to retreat.

"Wow——"

Mikael opened the curtains in the room, and the same soft moonlight mixed with the light of the street lamp and slanted in through the window, illuminating Mikael's outline for Xie'er.

"You...you are..."

Michael knelt down half-kneeling in front of Seele and stretched out his hand to her.

"Xie'er, we..."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Before Mikael's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Xier's hysterical scream. She looked at Mikael's blood-stained right hand in horror, slapped it away, and shouted in horror:

"Go away! Devil! Go away!!"

"Xier! I..."

The moment their eyes met, Xi'er's pupils instantly turned blood red, and all the panic disappeared in an instant. The scream that had not completely dissipated quickly turned into a roar of gnashing teeth:

"It's you! It's you, it's you!! How come it's you, it's you, it's you... you... go to hell!!!"

A sharp red light flashed in the darkness, but Mikael stretched out his hand towards the light without thinking.

"Puff——"

…………

"Three hundred and thirty-one, three hundred and thirty-two, three hundred and thirty-three..."

Mei Yi sat back in the back seat of the car, her back straight.

The feeling of dizziness and vomiting had long since dissipated, and what she was now silently counting was not the time when Mikael left, but the time when the street lights came on, although the two were not far apart.

But in this neighborhood, apart from rows of bright street lights, there is not much light. It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and it looked like there was not a single house inhabited in the entire street.

Mei Yi was a little scared. No, in such an environment, it would be abnormal not to be afraid, right?

"Crack-"

"ah!"

The sudden noise made Mei almost jump out of the car, but despite this, her head still hit the roof of the car, causing her to bite her back teeth in pain.

"Mikael, is that you?"

Her question was a bit unnecessary, because the next moment, Mikael's face appeared in the suddenly opened back seat door.

"It's me, Mei, please sit inside."

Although she didn't understand what Mikael was going to do, Mei still sat down at the other end of the carriage obediently.

Then, Mikael was seen carrying a sleeping girl into the back seat.

Mei Yi's eyes lingered on the girl's somewhat familiar face for a moment, and then she quickly noticed Mikael's right arm.

"Mikael, your hands..."

"Huh? This..."

Mikael touched his right shoulder, and the entire clothing on his right arm disappeared from there.

"Don't worry, you're not hurt. Let's talk more about it later."

After saying that, regardless of Mei Yi's attitude, he returned to the driving seat.

"Let's go home."

He looked through the rearview mirror to the back seat.

"good!"

Mei Yi thought that the gaze was directed at herself, so she nodded vigorously.
