Chapter 1562 Escape!
An Qingyu sat in his wheelchair, looking down at the thousands of Mi-Go prostrating on the ground before him, his brows tightly furrowed.
“What exactly do you want to do?” he whispered.
This was An Qingyu’s second time seeing the Mi-Go, and his first direct encounter with them. He didn’t know if these monsters could understand human language, but at this moment, he had no choice but to try to communicate with them.
As An Qingyu’s words fell, the thousands of Mi-Go surrounding the area simultaneously stopped the vibration of their membranous wings, and the air suddenly fell into dead silence.
At the same time, the Mi-Go closest to An Qingyu began vibrating its wings at a high frequency, seemingly trying to mimic human vocal cords. Vaguely, strange, sharp human voices could be heard emanating from it.
They’re learning human language on the spot?!
This thought flashed through An Qingyu’s mind, and his heart sank into an icy coldness.
The intelligence of these Mi-Go was far higher than anyone had imagined. Human language before them was like simple syllable combinations. In less than half a minute, a string of words was obscurely emitted from the membranous wings.
“Take you… home… welcome back… truth…”
“Home? Where is home?” An Qingyu asked in return.
The Mi-Go prostrated on the ground, its wings ceasing to vibrate, seemingly unwilling to answer this question.
“Then how do you plan to welcome back the truth?”
“We… believers… sacrifice… door… return…”
This time, the Mi-Go did not remain silent. One by one, unclear words were mixed together. Although somewhat difficult to understand, An Qingyu still grasped its meaning.
Just as Tianzun had thought, these Mi-Go, as believers of the truth, had taken a portion of the power of truth from the “Key to the Door.” Similarly, they could use their own lives as sacrifices to help rebuild the Door of Truth.
This is what they had been doing with each wave of their arrival these past few days.
The difference was that originally they could only passively be killed by Daxia God or Seven Nights and others, making life sacrifices. But once he went back with them, they would only need to commit mass suicide to significantly restore the Door of Truth in a very short time, and the return of the “Key to the Door” would be imminent.
An Qingyu’s expression darkened slightly. After a moment of silence, he asked again:
“What if I refuse to go with you?”
“Cannot… refuse.”
Buzz buzz buzz—!!!
The dense sound of membranous wings vibrating rose from all directions, making An Qingyu’s eardrums ache. He looked around at the thousands of Mi-Go, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was extinguished.
Just by their sheer numbers, the Mi-Go would not give An Qingyu any chance to refuse. Even if they had to carry him, they would take him back and force him to accept the life sacrifice.
“Qingyu…” Jiang Er leaned against An Qingyu’s side, exchanging a glance with him, her eyes full of determination.
She was ready to fight to the death.
An Qingyu did not respond to Jiang Er. He looked at the endless sea of Mi-Go around him, his expression changing repeatedly.
After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath and slowly said:
“I can go with you, but I have a condition.”
The wing vibrations of the many Mi-Go stopped, waiting for An Qingyu’s next words.
An Qingyu pointed to Jiang Er beside him, “I can go back with you, let her go.”
Jiang Er was stunned, and before she could say anything, the voice of that Mi-Go sounded again:
“Can… humans… not needed…”
An Qingyu turned to look at Jiang Er, giving her a look. She was stunned for a moment, and from this gaze, she detected something else… Based on her absolute trust in An Qingyu, she eventually nodded.
Jiang Er raised her hand, and the black coffin quickly flew into the sky. None of the Mi-Go present tried to stop it. After the black coffin had completely disappeared, An Qingyu slowly said:
“Alright, let’s go.”
Thousands of Mi-Go simultaneously rose with vibrating wings. The two closest to An Qingyu used their long appendages to grip both sides of the wheelchair, dragging his body up into the sky bit by bit.
Then, a spatial rift opened in the sky above, and An Qingyu, led by the Mi-Go, rapidly approached it.
Just as he was less than a hundred meters from the rift, An Qingyu’s gaze sharpened. His fingertips pulled out a black scalpel from under his collar, stabbing it into his own chest like lightning, then forcefully slicing downward!
A crimson line of blood opened across An Qingyu’s body. Before the Mi-Go on either side could react, he grabbed the last four signal flares and stuffed them all into his body!
Pale blood seeped from the corners of An Qingyu’s mouth. He looked up at the Mi-Go and smiled faintly:
“Sorry, even if I die… I will never let the ‘Key to the Door’ return.”
Boom—!!!
The four signal flares ignited simultaneously, directly burning An Qingyu from within into a ball of intense fire. Shattered flesh and blood rained down to the ground, and all the Mi-Go about to enter the spatial rift froze in midair.
Sharp screeches rang out frantically!!!
In the howling gale, the largest piece of flesh remnant fell drifting, caught steadily by a black coffin that appeared in the air. Jiang Er stood on the black coffin, her fingers lightly tracing, quickly changing direction and speeding away.
Buzz buzz buzz—
The many Mi-Go seemed to sense something and frantically pursued the black coffin, like a roaring pink wolf pack, obscuring the entire sky.
On the speeding black coffin, that piece of flesh was regenerating at an astonishing rate. Bones, blood vessels, and flesh extended in midair, outlining a human form. Watching this scene, Jiang Er’s eyes flashed with pain.
As An Qingyu’s body gradually took shape, he looked down at his blood-colored palm that had not yet grown skin, and sighed bitterly:
“I never thought that this rapid regeneration would also become a burden… If I had just died, the ‘Key to the Door’ would have ended completely.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You can’t die!” Jiang Er said angrily while controlling the black coffin.
An Qingyu smiled helplessly, his skinless face looking extremely bloody.
An Qingyu knew clearly that surrounded by thousands of Mi-Go, he and Jiang Er had no possibility of escape. So he could only use this method to let Jiang Er leave first, then commit suicide, unexpectedly escaping from their control… He knew that once he was truly taken away by the Mi-Go, allowing the “Key to the Door” to revive, it would be a catastrophe for the entire Earth.
At this point, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, but his body wouldn’t allow it… Ordinary methods simply couldn’t kill him completely.
Jiang Er’s control of the black coffin’s flight speed was not slow, barely maintaining the distance between them and the Mi-Go. But as An Qingyu’s body gradually recovered, those Mi-Go became increasingly frantic. Their bodies exuded a blood color, and their speed increased another notch!
Jiang Er’s face turned pale. Just as she was about to try to increase speed regardless of the consequences, a massive eight-winged figure slowly descended from beneath the clouds…
“I wondered where such a strong K-system aura was coming from… So it’s the ‘Key to the Door’?” Lucifer’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
