Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Shen Qinyin repeated this sentence again. The familiar lines and tone made Tang Miao's thoughts drift back to the time when she and Shen Qinyin first met.

At that time, they experienced a life-and-death crisis for the first time. Faced with the siege of several evil people, Shen Qiyin mouthed to her, "Believe me."

After that, they experienced several more life-threatening trials—

Monster attacks, green haze pollution, near death, and the arrival of the black tide...

Every time, when Tang Miao was in desperate situation and thought that this was where she would die, Shen Qiyin would encourage her and help her turn the situation around.

Including this time, after she got into trouble, Shen Qiyin did not hesitate and desperately followed her whereabouts, and was brought by the entity into such a terrifying world full of murderous intentions.

All the selfless actions she took for him were deeply engraved in Tang Miao's heart.

There is no doubt that she has completely entrusted her life to this beautiful girl who is smaller and weaker than herself.

Tang Miao knew that she didn't have as strong abilities as Shen Qinyin. The only thing she could do was to believe in her, to believe in her unconditionally.

Even if the stake of trust is her life, she would still do it.

Therefore, she nodded solemnly without hesitation: "Of course I believe in you, Qiyin, forever!"

"Even if what I do next will hurt you? It's very likely that it will even cost you your life..."

"Just do it." Tang Miao interrupted her without hesitation, "As long as I can leave here with you, I'm not afraid of anything. Even if I die, as long as you can leave alive, it's a win!"

Her voice was soft, but it was filled with undeniable determination.

Shen Qiyin couldn't help but sneer when she heard the other party's answer, and cursed softly: "Idiot, how could I use your life to exchange for my own life?"

She ran her left hand through Tang Miao's hair, supporting the back of her neck, while her right hand gently stroked her cheek:

"Thank you for trusting me so much."

"I want to thank you too," Tang Miao suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it against her chest. "I finally have the chance to protect you. I'm really happy."

Shen Qiyin's hands began to tremble violently: "Tang Miao, you..."

"Go ahead." Tang Miao smiled slightly and closed his eyes. "I believe in you, just like I believe the sun will rise tomorrow."

Her voice was as gentle as the gurgling of water: "And I know that even if the world is destroyed, you will find me."

Shen Qinyin's tears fell involuntarily.

She suddenly hugged Tang Miao into her arms, so strong that she almost squeezed her into her body: "I will... I will definitely find you..."

The next second, the silk thread cut through Tang Miao's body.

No blood, no pain.

Tang Miao's body shattered like a mirage, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.

As Tang Miao disappeared, the whole world began to tremble violently, and the approaching ghosts flickered frequently like projections with poor signals.

Click.

There was a very light crisp sound, like the first crack in the ice.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Yin Town began to collapse.

The sky was like torn rice paper, and the dark night peeled off piece by piece, revealing the pale nothingness that was twisting and wriggling behind it.

The fragments paused in mid-air for a moment, then turned into ashes and drifted away.

The ground looked like a melted candle, the bluestone pavement gradually softened into sticky black mud, and the faces embedded in the cracks of the bricks screamed silently.

Those people's faces and mouths were wide open, but they could not make any sound. They could only watch their bodies being torn apart and dissolved by the invisible force.

The house looked like a paper model being squeezed by a giant hand. Tiles crackled, wooden beams twisted and broke, and walls collapsed inward, making a teeth-grinding squeezing sound.

The entire Yin Town was twisted and compressed in the collapse, and the space was like broken glass, being ground into powder bit by bit.

Shen Qiyin stood in the center of the chaos, with the only blue brick under her feet that had not disappeared.

This seems to be the last trace left in this space.

She reached out to touch it, but the next second, the blue brick also evaporated at her fingertips.

"I will find you."

Shen Qiyin said softly, and then——

The world fell into darkness.

Tang Miao felt a sharp pain in her head, and the dizziness made her feel nauseous. Her stomach was cramping, and she wanted to vomit but nothing came out.

She opened her eyes and looked around. She had no idea where she was. It was shrouded in fog. All around her were dilapidated modern urban streets. On both sides of the street were shops with closed roller shutters and rusty signs that were crumbling in the fog.

Tang Miao walked forward tentatively for a while and suddenly noticed that the sign of a shop next to him actually had the words "Kelong Supermarket" written in large letters.

She immediately recalled that this supermarket was where she and Shen Qinyin had been not long ago, and she had also found a can of Coke that she wanted here.

In other words, he had returned to reality? This was the real Zhongyang County?

But why is there fog in broad daylight? Is this just ordinary morning mist, or is it a global fog?

Tang Miao's temples were throbbing, and the fog in front of her seemed to flow around her as if it had life.

She subconsciously quickened her pace, feeling uneasy about a threat lurking in the dark.

"Zizzi-"

The neon sign of "Kelong Supermarket" flickered in the fog, making a crackling sound of electricity.

Tang Miao suddenly stopped and turned his head mechanically and stiffly.

What? It’s “Kelong Supermarket” again?

I ran such a long way forward, why am I back here?

Her heart was pounding as she stared at the half-open roller shutter, feeling as if something was watching her from inside.

Sudden--

"Clap!"

A drop of sticky liquid fell at her feet.

Tang Miao slowly raised his head.

On the window of the second floor of the supermarket, there was a human figure lying on the ground.

No, that can no longer be called a "human"!

Its limbs were twisted like a spider, with the joints folded backwards, and its pale skin was covered with blue-black blood vessels.

The most terrifying thing is its face: it has no facial features, only a mouth that is split to the ear roots and is full of sharp teeth.

"whee......"

The thing laughed like a child and suddenly jumped out of the window!

Tang Miao turned and ran, but countless pale arms suddenly stretched out from the mist and wrapped around her ankles like vines. She fell heavily to the ground, her palms cut by gravel, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The sound of the monster crawling was getting closer and closer, and Tang Miao could even smell the sweet and fishy smell of decay on its body.

This is it!!

Although the memory of that moment was very vague, Tang Miao was certain that he was "caught" in this world by this thing!

Tang Miao bit her lower lip and stared at the monster, her eyes looking like they were about to pop out of her sockets.

In a flash, the monster was in front of her.

The other person's cold hands climbed onto her shoulders.

A strong smell of death and a huge sense of despair enveloped her at this moment.

But the more times like this, the more determined Tang Miao becomes!

I can't die here!

Qiyin and I agreed that we must return to reality together!

Even a weak person like me can do something!

At this final moment of despair, time around them seemed to stand still.

Tang Miao only felt a strange power suddenly flowing through his body!

This power was as miraculous as the one when she first became a qualified person from an ordinary person. Her body seemed to be enveloped by warm sunlight.

She felt that there was an indescribable bond guiding her and Shen Qinyin's reunion.

It was a sense of destiny that was far beyond human cognition, as if no obstacles in the world could stop them.

And at this moment, her eyes turned silver-white like the bright moon——

The next second, Tang Miao saw clearly...

She saw through the disguise of this world and saw the way to escape!

The holy light that burst out from her body, like moonlight, actually pierced the entity so much that it was in so much pain that it dared not come near!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Shen Qiyin, wearing a power armor, walked towards the ground with a bang like a cannonball! !

The notebook in my mind opened a new page, and line after line of text kept emerging -

Chapter 156 A Kiss for the End of Time

The moment Tang Miao saw Shen Qiyin appear in power armor, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment——

"Eh? Qi, Qiyin? Why are you..."

"Will be wearing this power armor that's gone, huh?"

Shen Qinyin's sweet voice came through the heavy armor.

She chuckled a few times and explained, "This is the spiritual world, and it's quite close to the real world. It can be considered an existence similar to the 'surface world'.

In this kind of world, the strength of our spirit is the key to our actions..."

"I understand what you mean! As long as your mental strength is strong enough, even in this world of consciousness, driving a mecha can happen, right?!"

"Yes, the iron box is really better. I feel safe inside it."

Shen Qiyin smiled slightly, then turned around and drew out a materialized chainsaw sword, "Leave it to me from now on, you've worked hard."

As soon as she finished speaking, she put on her armor and strode towards the entity.

The power armor emitted a low engine roar, and the hydraulic joints spewed out hot steam. Every step taken made the ground tremble!

The spider-like monster sensed the threat, twisting its limbs and suddenly springing up. Its pale body drew a strange arc in mid-air, its huge mouth, which was split to the roots of its ears, opened wide, and its densely packed fangs dripped black slime.

"boom--!"

Shen Qinyin did not dodge. The chainsaw sword on the armor's right arm suddenly started up, and the high-speed rotating teeth screamed and tore through the air!

She faced the monster's falling trajectory and slashed it with an upward slash!

"Tsk-!"

The teeth of the chainsaw sword bit into the monster's abdomen, and the rotten flesh and black blood were instantly minced into pieces, bursting out a puff of fishy mist.

The monster let out an inhuman howl, and its four limbs frantically scratched the armored shell. The sharp joints scraped against the metal, making a harsh noise, but failed to leave even a scratch.

Shen Qinyin sneered, and the thrusters on the back of the armor suddenly ejected a blue flame!
