Chapter 23: Light He Had Never Seen
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The man dashed out from the emergency exit tunnel and sprinted under the overpass.
Qiao Jin came out faster than him and ran under the overpass without hurrying.
Finally, chasing behind him was the man in the black t-shirt.
Everyone was now immersed in the abnormal situation at the mall, so not many people noticed the man running away.
Because he had a lot of jewelry on him, as he ran away in a panic, he'd accidentally dropped a necklace.
At the same time, he'd wiped his face with his hand. Blood was leaking from his nose.
In the initial stage, his powers were beyond the scope of his own tolerance, so various symptoms always appeared on his body.
He'd exploded several pieces of glass in one go. His actions had obviously exceeded the limit of his powers, but there was no other way to escape.
He didn't expect, however, that someone would be bold enough to chase after him.
He turned his head anxiously and saw the man in the black t-shirt chasing after him. He roared suddenly, and in an instant, the glass next to the overpass, which happened to be right above the man's head, exploded. However, the man in the black t-shirt didn't panic at all and simply shielded his head. He jumped across the explosion, and an invisible barrier shielded him. The shattered glass fell down, but it didn't fall on him.
The pedestrians in the area were absolutely petrified and started to scream.
The scruffy man looked terrified, but he no longer hesitated, running forward again.
Qiao Jin was on the overpass, and the red dots in her pupils appeared in various positions. She walked in the direction she was guided towards. That would be the final destination of the scruffy man.
Across from the mall was a towering building.
Song Yanqing was wearing a dark blue suit and sitting in his office chair. As he was in the seat with the best view, he noticed the chaos erupting in the mall as soon as he glanced over.
Although it was quite a distance away, his eyesight was very good.
The secretary who was reporting to him stepped forward and asked, "President?"
Song Yanqing stretched out a finger. "Go investigate."
The secretary also noticed the mayhem taking place and nodded. "OK."
After the secretary left, Song Yanqing closed his eyes, then opened them slowly.
His pupils didn't change in any way, but in his line of sight, the sky and the earth had changed colors, while the bustling city was enshrouded by a vivid thick shadow. Countless bizarre monsters passed through the earth and heaven while making terrifying sounds.
Some lunged towards him, banging wildly on the glass windows of the building.
Seemingly certain that Song Yanqing could see them, their hideous faces were distorted in grimaces, and their terrifyingly huge bodies slammed against the glass.
The sounds were heavy and sharp.
This scene would be enough to petrify any ordinary human.
However, Song Yanqing remained extremely calm.
Since childhood, whenever he encountered any abnormal situation, what he saw was always different from what others saw.
It was a world that could make people feel desperate and suffocating. They were clearly in the same space as everyone else, but they couldn't be seen by others.
In this world, terrible monsters ran rampant, and there was no light.
Only he could see this world.
He used to panic from seeing such things when he was a child, but now he was used to it.
However, this time, his pupils dilated slightly.
Through the huge body of the demon, in the world where people and ghosts were crying, he looked down from above. In the dark and chaotic world, on a sky bridge enshrouded by a dark mist, a figure emitted a hazy light.
It was the only ray of light in this world.
It was a light he had never seen in this terrible world for the past twenty years.
