Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 34

dead silence(1)

When Lou Xian arrived, the venue was already in a mess.

The teaching building almost completely collapsed, as if it had experienced an earthquake. Seriously injured monsters and monsters lay scattered on the ground. Although the less injured ones still had the energy to take care of the seriously injured, they almost didn’t have the energy to say a word to Lou Xian.

The illusion itself has also collapsed to varying degrees. The originally vivid campus scene is like a broken mirror. The concrete background of the shopping mall building is exposed at the edge of the sky. There are some cracks and even an unexplained chaotic void.

There were also a few employees digging and shouting at the edge of the ruins, creating a desolate atmosphere of despair and desolation everywhere.

He was the first to see the unconscious stranger lying on the edge of the ruins, the host Luo Su had captured this time.

Luo Su’s aura had disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that he decisively abandoned this body and left after completing the destruction.

Fortunately, this person was not seriously injured except for a few glass scratches and abrasions. He was very lucky to land on the air mattress when he fell.

But Lou Xian’s eyes only glanced at him, and then stared at the crumbling ruins.His heart suddenly seemed to be clenched by a cold hand.

“The store manager… is inside…” Hidden Fox Fairy raised her head, her face mixed with tears and stains, her voice choked with sobs, “We, we can’t dig it… it’s too heavy… Lord Lou Xian, please…”

Lou Xian stood there in a daze. He stretched out a finger and swiped it out of thin air like sliding the screen of a mobile phone. Large pieces of building ruins were lifted up and thrown away.

Finally, a hole was cleared from the rubble.

Jiang Lingyi lay there quietly, or rather…

Something that once belonged to Jiang Lingyi was lying there.

There were deformities caused by multiple fractures, a direct wound on the chest, and bloodstains and abrasions all over the head and limbs, making it almost impossible to see the original appearance.No human being could survive such a trauma.

It should be said that he died the moment he was hit by building debris.

“Jiang… Ling Yi?”

Lou Xian called softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

No one said a word. The employees stopped and looked at Lou Xian.

“Jiang Lingyi…?”

Lou Xian stepped into the ruins, lifted up the broken body, and placed it on his lap. He took the relatively intact right hand, but this action caused the entire forearm to snap off and fall to the ground.

He looked down at the position of his head, trying to find the pair of eyes that were looking at him tenderly under the moonlight.

Then, he discovered that the slippery and sticky ball rolled down at his feet——

“Ah…”

“Ah, ah ah…”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

He heard the sound of his heart being crushed in an instant.

The entire illusion seemed to respond to his desperate cry, shaking violently.

The sky kept falling like a broken puzzle piece, and countless cracks opened on the ground. Even the formation was pulled by his pain and anger, and erupted into uncontrollable fluctuations.

“Sir Lou Xian! Calm down!” Brother Bandage dragged his handicapped leg and tried to get closer. “If this continues, the entire mall will be shattered!”

“Get away!” Lou Xian roared in a low and hoarse voice.

He hugged the body tightly in his arms. Not only did his pupils turn into flaming gold, but all the whites of his eyes turned black.

Now, he has no rationality left, and just wants to devour and devour everything in front of him——

Buzz…

There was a faint ripple in his arms, spreading like running water.

No… something is gathering here.That aura was all too familiar to him. It was the reaction when the formation began to supply energy.

Lou Xian lowered his head to look at Jiang Lingyi again, and saw that the soft, mercury-like flicker of light was continuously gathering into his body, like threads drilling into his body, as if an invisible hand was carefully weaving his broken body.

He stared at this scene blankly.

By the way, he connected Jiang Lingyi’s soul to the formation, changing part of his physique.The energy of the formation repaired him last time, so it will definitely be able to bring him back this time…

The violent aura around Lou Xian receded like a tide, his scales disappeared, his vertical pupils turned back to dark gray, and his face instantly glowed with joy.He quickly put down Jiang Lingyi’s body and let him lie flat on an open space.

Jiang Lingyi’s body made a crackling sound, as the twisted bones were being reconnected; the chest that had collapsed into a big hole slowly swelled, and the open wounds were stopping bleeding, closing, and growing new pink flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye; the blood and dust on his face were gradually fading away, and even his clothes were completely repaired.

Lou Xian wanted to reach out and touch the body that was wrapped in light and gradually revived, but he stopped just a short distance away, as if he was afraid of disturbing this incredible miracle.

Other employees also held their breath and stared blankly at this scene.

They could feel that their connection with the formation was also heating up slightly. The power consumed in the previous battle and the injuries suffered seemed to be slowly nourished and repaired by this gentle energy flow.

As time passed, the last scar disappeared. The silver light that shrouded Jiang Lingyi gradually converged, and finally disappeared completely into his body.

His chest began to rise and fall, although it was extremely weak, it was definitely there.

He is living and breathing.

He looked like he was asleep, but his face was unusually pale and his brows were slightly frowned.

Lou Xian finally stretched out his hand tremblingly, and gently brushed Jiang Lingyi’s cheek with his fingertips, confirming the warm touch.

“Ahem, uh——”

“…!!”

The moment he heard the sound coming from Jiang Lingyi’s mouth, Lou Xian could no longer restrain his impulse. He leaned on his body and put his ear close to his chest, repeatedly confirming that the heartbeat was not an illusion.

“Lou Xian? How–”

Jiang Lingyi slowly opened his eyes and took a few seconds to focus.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu””

Immediately afterwards, a howl that was too shrill and inhuman to sound erupted from his throat.

His whole body suddenly curled up like a shrimp, and his hands tightly hugged his head and abdomen, as if he was suffering from Lingchi-like severe pain.Cold sweat instantly soaked his newly recovered clothes, veins popped out on his forehead, and his teeth chattered.

“Jiang Lingyi!”

Lou Xian reacted instantly.

The wounds on the body can be repaired by the energy of the large array, but the extreme pain and the terrifying sensation of shattered bones and broken internal organs in the moment before death did not disappear, but were completely preserved. At the moment when his consciousness came back, it swept through his nerves like a tsunami.

“It hurts… it hurts… save me… Lou Xian…”

Jiang Lingyi screamed unconsciously, tears mixed with cold sweat rolled down his face, and his body spasmed uncontrollably due to the severe pain.

Lou Xian immediately hugged him tightly, and his cold palms covered his sweaty forehead and back.

“It’s okay, it’s okay… Look at me, Jiang Lingyi, look at me!”

Lou Xian’s voice was filled with rare urgency and panic. He held Jiang Lingyi’s face twisted in pain and forced his dilated pupils to look at him, “I’m right here… Give me the pain, forget about it, I’ll delete it for you…”

He didn’t want Jiang Lingyi to be tortured by the despair of dying.

Jiang Lingyi burst out with strength from nowhere and grabbed his wrist suddenly. He was still shaking in pain, but his eyes were extremely firm.

“No, don’t…!” He gasped, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, “Don’t delete it…it hurts…I remember…Flying Head bumped into him…the Faceless Man entangled him…the Puppet Master…everyone…is here…”

Those demon employees knew they were outmatched and would be hurt, but they still tried their best for him, a human being.

He didn’t want to forget this pain, because this pain was wrapped in those sincere feelings.That was also his incomparably precious memory.

Others are still enduring pain. As a store manager, he should set an example and not shirk his duties from Lou Xian’s tenderness.

Seeing the almost stubborn persistence in Jiang Lingyi’s eyes, Lou Xian’s heart seemed to have been hit hard by something soft and sharp.

“Okay…then don’t delete it.” Lou Xian hugged the trembling Jiang Lingyi tighter, “I’ll be here with you. If it hurts, just hold on to me.”

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Lingyi stopped struggling. Although his body was still trembling slightly due to the residual pain, his breathing gradually changed from frantic to gentle.

Around them, other injured employees were also recovering one after another under the nourishment of the energy from the array.

They looked at the two people hugging each other, and no one made a sound to disturb them. They just silently began to clean up the ruins on the periphery, inspect the damage to the illusion, and moved the unlucky passerby who was still unconscious to the sofa outside the store.

After experiencing the grief and despair of almost losing, and the joy of regaining what was lost, Lou Xian’s heart was once again swept by huge self-blame and guilt.

Recently, he has frequently received calls from heaven from the original world. He must sink into a deep dream in order to resist this interference…

If he was stronger and could ignore this interference; if he could be more alert and aware of Luo Su’s arrival in time; if he could arrive just a little faster…

Jiang Lingyi may not have to experience this kind of pain at all.

Heavenly principles are not specific people, but something similar to the world itself.

Because Lou Xian represents the nature of the “gluttony” part of the Heavenly Law, its absence is like cutting out a part of a magnet. There is always an attraction between large and small magnets.

But now, he no longer wants to go back to his original world. This irresistible call makes him feel uneasy and irritable.

So many things are happening right now, the store has just gotten back on track, and Jiang Lingyi has just survived a life-and-death crisis. He can no longer say such things and cause trouble for everyone…

“I’m sorry…” He whispered against Jiang Lingyi’s sweaty temples, “It’s my fault…I failed to protect you…”

Jiang Lingyi seemed to hear it, but seemed not to.He just relaxed slowly and bit by bit in Lou Xian’s arms, and finally fell into a real lethargy from exhaustion.

Jiang Lingyi was brought home by Lou Xian.He slept deeply, barely waking up in the middle. He only occasionally frowned and hummed in his dreams because of the residual neuralgia. At this time, Lou Xian would gently pat his back and place a kiss on his forehead.
