Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 373 - 373 75 The End of the Nightmare_2

373: Chapter 75: The End of the Nightmare_2 373: Chapter 75: The End of the Nightmare_2 Shiyu Lianyi had realized the reality through several attempts.

No one was going to save him; even the power of misfortune wanted him to keep suffering.

Thus, his sorrow turned into numbness, and his numb heart marched toward despair.

No more attempts, no more fantasies.

His spirit had died on the rotting road of decay.

“…!…”

The purity was gone, and today’s experiment seemed to have ended.

Fragments of memories fell out of his mind.

Chats with Sister Ling, watching Ling Er and Ling San argue, Spirit Temple reading a book, Lin Wu pretending a hand was a microphone to sing…

Those were things of the distant past…

He found he could barely remember everyone’s faces anymore.

Shiyu Lianyi understood better than anyone that all this was fake kinship, feigned brotherhood and sisterhood.

But he had no real relatives; all he had was this love.

These memories were the reason he could still exist, like a traveler in the wilderness warming himself by a bonfire.

Only by burning memories like wood could he ignite a small fire to light his own.

But wood would be consumed eventually, memories would fade, and would be forgotten.

When that day arrived, he could truly die.

He wouldn’t have to force himself to live this difficult life any longer, would he?

“Hurry…

wake up…”

A golden light appeared before him, strangely.

Clearly, his eyes had already gone blind.

But the brightness was as fierce as fire, making his face feel hot.

“…

You still want to seek revenge on Shiyu Genmi!”

Shiyu Genmi.

He remembered then.

The director of the Shiyu Research Institute, Shiyu Genmi, was his nemesis.

And his…

Biological father.

— You’re my biological child, an undeniable truth!

As for your mother, she died the year you were born, so you don’t need to worry anymore.

He recalled long-lost fantasies about yearning for familial affection and parents.

So, his father had always been there, always by his side, ordering new drugs from behind the glass walls, designing new tortures for him from behind iron doors.

While he struggled and suffered in his cell, his biological father was merely a few hundred meters away, drinking beer and discussing the latest experimental results and progress with colleagues.

And his mother had long passed away, now perhaps only a solitary grave remained.

“…

Ha ha.”

Shiyu Lianyi couldn’t help but laugh.

The smile made his wounds ache, but he still wanted to laugh.

It was truly ridiculous.

That guy turned out to be his biological father!

He used to fantasize that his parents would come to save him, only to find out that the primary culprit was his own blood-related kin!

Had he learned this years earlier, perhaps he could have turned it into motivation for revenge.

But now that he knew, what good did it do?

Other than to let his heart grow cold and make him more desperate, what purpose did it serve?

Now it seemed he was in the midst of calamity, but so what?

He was tired, didn’t want to think anymore, even if all this was part of Shiyu Genmi’s calculations, he couldn’t bother resisting.

One of the ropes that had kept him struggling in this world was kinship, even if it was false kinship he had relished it.

Now his biological father had personally told him that he had not only stood by but had also created it all himself; to what extent did that man want him to despair?

How terribly corrupted had this world become?!

···

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Forgotten fantasies and still-present resentment intertwined, causing Shiyu Lianyi to continue laughing uncontrollably even in reality.

The beans from Yidou Nengmai barely stopped the red invasion, but their effect was very poor, only slowing rather than eliminating it.

Gongsun Ce, carrying three people as he ran, rolled the beans across their faces like a firefighter, “Stop your damn laughing and wake up!

Laugh any more and you’re going to die!”

“Ha ha ha…” Shiyu Lianyi muttered between dreams and consciousness, “This world has gone mad!

Yes, it’s true, this world has long been mad!”

“If you keep sleeping, you’ll go mad before the world does!”

Gongsun Ce took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, surprised to find it had only been two minutes since the Thunder Dragon appeared, less than 120 seconds, yet it felt like a year in his felt time.

Just two minutes ago, he was pondering how to deal with Shiyu Zhongyi’s capricious Impermanence Skill; now, he realized that Shiyu Zhongyi wasn’t too extreme, what with Justice Sword, Endless Sword Curse, Curse Scale, and Telekinesis being mere jokes in front of the Red Mage.

It only took the opening of Fallen Heaven to destroy half of the capital of Zero Island!

Buildings over a hundred meters tall were starting to rise from the ground and fly toward the red cloud, and people fully transformed into crimson demons were also drawn by the flow of blood into the sky.

Trees, flowers, billboards, appliances, vehicles, everything was flying into the crimson cloud above.

Fallen Heaven treated everything equally, consuming and corrupting all.

He was desperate to draw his sword and charge to heavens right then, but unfortunately, his three comrades all relied on those beans to cling to life!

“Shiyu Lianyi, listen the hell up!” Gongsun Ce made one last effort, “Your girlfriend has come!

Kardesia is here!

If you don’t wake up, she’s going to be done for along with us!”

Unfortunately, his words did not reach Shiyu Lianyi’s ears.

At the critical moment, Shiyu Genmi had delivered a heart-wrenching blow, with the venomous words from his biological father amplified by the power of Fallen Heaven by hundreds of folds, utterly shattering the young man who valued kinship.

“There’s no saving it…” Shiyu Lianyi cried and laughed simultaneously, “It’s been incurable for a long time!”

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, making a decision.

He would feed the beans to the most severely affected Mr.

Shiyu, hoping he could come up with a solution using Curse Scale, then go directly to battle the Red Mage in a do-or-die effort.

He fiercely pried open Shiyu Lianyi’s mouth, while cautiously watching the ghostly shadows in the sky.
