Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 639: Flower of Blood and Bone: Bloody Plague X (End)

John felt dizzy and weak, as if he had just experienced a nightmare. His heart beat faster, his breathing became rapid, and everything in front of him seemed to be shaking.

John, who was lucky enough to wake up from the nightmare of the abyss, was a little dazed. He rubbed his bloodshot and red eyes, trying to make his blurry vision clear.

The double image in front of him gradually came into focus, and he finally saw the figure in front of him clearly.

He was a young man with blond hair and golden eyes, wearing a black suit, holding a silver cane in his right hand and wearing a top hat on his head.

If he is not a member of the company, how did he get in?

Lucky John was full of questions.

"who are you?"

Xia Xiu did not respond to John's words immediately.

Those calm golden eyes were gradually covered by pure white, and those eyes were as pure as fresh snow.

His eyes looked John up and down, as if assessing something.

Those eyes were as sharp as a blade, as if they could penetrate John's soul and see the secrets deep in his heart.

John felt completely seen through, and a chill ran down his spine.

"You are so lucky," Xia Xiu sighed from the bottom of his heart, "The dirt in your body has not penetrated into your bones, so it is easier to clean it out than you think."

When John heard this, he felt inexplicably relieved, yet full of doubts.

He thought about his recent abnormality.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? What dirty stuff are you talking about?"

In response to Lucky John's repeated inquiries, Xia Xiu showed a warm smile on his handsome face.

He raised the cane in his right hand and said with a smile: "I am just a... um... man in black who just passed by here."

John was stunned. Man in black?
Of course he knew this urban legend that had long been circulating in the Federation.

In various UFO conspiracy theories and mysterious events, men in black always play a mysterious role in covering up the truth.

They are described as wearing "new" and "sleek" black tie suits or black coats, with slightly slanted eyes, speaking very formal, almost old-fashioned Terran language, with neat and meticulous hair, stiff movements, wooden expressions, and flat tones, like dummies or robots.

There is another version of the man in black who wears a badly wrinkled black tie suit and speaks with the slang and vulgar tone of a gangster in a federal movie.

No matter which description it is, the image of the man in black is always full of mystery and weirdness.

These descriptions flashed through John's mind, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although the blond young man in front of him did not completely match the image of the legendary man in black, his cold white eyes and calm demeanor made him feel an inexplicable pressure.

His heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, his palms began to sweat, and all kinds of thoughts kept churning through his mind.

Are there aliens here? Vampires? Aliens?

Although the Federation has declared the existence of anomalies and entered a semi-abnormal social state, half of the states have been declared abnormal states.

However, the Bluegrass State is still a normal state in the union.

In normal states, supernatural things are still strictly prohibited and controlled.

As for the extraordinary, what ordinary people can access is actually very limited.

"Are you really the Man in Black? Is there something... bad here?"

John asked cautiously, trying to find the answer from the other's expression.

Xia Xiu's smile did not disappear. The pure white in his eyes gradually faded, and the golden luster began to gradually replace the white, just like the sun rising in the early morning, the light was dazzling and blinding.

He looked at John and smiled, "You can understand it this way. You were bitten by a vampire and are beginning to turn into a vampire spawn. I need to deal with your problem a little bit now."

After hearing Xia Xiu's words, John realized that something was wrong with him recently.

He subconsciously touched his neck and felt a sense of fear, because in urban legends, vampires usually bite the neck.

John swallowed, feeling his throat dry and his heartbeat quicken.

His face turned pale, his eyes wandered, and he looked timid.

"What are you going to do with me? Crucify me? Douse me with holy water? Or..."

John's voice was obviously trembling, and it was shaking more and more, and all kinds of horrible images appeared in his mind.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. It only takes a small surgery to remove the abnormality in your body. You'll be fine."

When the blond young man said this, he stroked his chin with his left hand and said with a look of reminiscence on his face:

“And I’ve used these methods of killing vampires that you mentioned before.

I used to be famous for killing vampires, and those vampires gave me the reputation of a vampire hunter, so no one knows how to kill vampires better than me. "

Hearing Xia Xiu's words, Lucky John became even more scared.

"Don't worry, you're not a real vampire yet."

Xia Xiu glanced at the man who was shrinking back slightly and said comfortingly:
"There are no vampires who would come to this world to be office workers. They are either being used as street lamps or sucking other people's blood somewhere else."

This sounds a bit strange...

However, John felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he was still full of doubts.

He frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his expression seemed confused and uneasy. He gestured with his hands in front of him, as if trying to grasp some invisible life-saving straw.

"How are you going to deal with my problem? How exactly is this operation performed? How should I cooperate with you?"

John's voice was a little hoarse and his eyes were full of worry.

Cold sweat oozed slightly from his forehead, and his eyes moved back and forth between Xia Xiu's body, trying to find a hint of reassurance in the other's expression.

Xia Xiu had a gentle expression. He looked up at the clock in the office and said calmly:

"My schedule is very full. Let me check the time. Well, I can solve your problem in ten minutes."

"ten minutes!?"

John's expression instantly turned into shock, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, looking incredible.

Various images flashed through his mind rapidly, as if he was going through a life-and-death test within ten minutes.

He couldn't help swallowing, and a feeling of uneasiness and fear surged in his heart.

"This kind of thing only takes ten minutes. Are you sure it won't take you ten minutes to finish me off?"

John muttered to himself, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

His mind began to wander, imagining all the possible consequences, his fingers nervously grasping the corners of his clothes.

Xia Xiu looked at John's reaction, and the smile on his face did not change at all.

If he said ten minutes, it really meant ten minutes.

Unlike the twin sisters who had the love virus knocked out, the activity of the mother Swinton blood in John's body was very low. This thing should have been diluted countless times.

However, even if it is Swinton's blood that has been diluted countless times, in order to remove it under normal circumstances, all the corroded and soaked organs on the opponent's body must be replaced.

For ordinary people, replacing most of their body organs is no different from seeking death.

Fortunately, John was lucky enough to meet a Sin-Eater.

The power of Xia Xiu, who is of the [Sage] class, is enough to reshape an organ to fit John.

Then, just use his projection in the ether and [Essence of the End] to directly annihilate the blood of Swinton.

So, what makes this John different from the thousands of other Johns in the Eddiesi Federation is that he is really lucky enough.

John couldn't help but tremble and asked, "What should I do?"

Xia Xiu smiled, with a hint of indifference and calmness in that smile.

He raised his left hand slightly, and gently put his fingers together, as if he was about to make a simple movement.

"You just need to close your eyes for a while."

His tone was calm, as if he was comforting a frightened child.

Snapped--

Then, Xia Xiu's fingers suddenly popped out, and a crisp "pop" sound echoed in the air.

The sound of the snapping fingers was clear and crisp, like a bell striking John's heart.

John felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning in an instant. His vision began to blur, and the scene before him gradually lost focus and turned into a chaotic black.

The sounds in my ears became unclear, as if I was in the deep sea, and all the sounds were washed away by the water.

His body became heavier and heavier, as if being pressed to the ground by an invisible force, and his legs became weak and he could hardly support himself.

John tried to grab onto something to steady himself, but his arms drooped limply as if the strength had been drained out of them.

"I..." He tried to open his mouth, wanting to say something, but his tongue was too stiff to move.

The darkness before his eyes grew thicker and thicker, as if an endless black curtain enveloped him.

Finally, John's eyes closed completely, and his consciousness seemed to be turned off by a gentle hand, and he fell into an endless sleep.

As he fainted, his body fell limply to the side, his limbs hanging limply, as if he was a body with the soul sucked out of it.

******
The unconscious John seemed to be dragged into the suffocating abyss of bloody plague again. The scene around him was blurred and filled with an oppressive smell of blood.

In the abyss, the air seemed to be stagnant and there was deathly silence all around, making people feel endless fear and despair.

In this dark abyss, countless hands stretched out from all directions, and the cold and disgusting touch made John's body tremble constantly.

Those hands seemed to be filled with endless resentment, pulling at his figure tightly, trying to drag him into deeper darkness and completely devour his will.

Just when his consciousness was about to be swallowed by the abyss, a ray of light like dawn shot into the darkness and enveloped him. The hands that were pulling at him began to disappear in the light, and they let out terrified and desperate cries.

John looked up and saw a sun, a black sun.

now.

The sun nodded to him, and the abyss began to scream.

“Ahhhh——————”

“Ahhhh——————”

“Ahhhhh————” The scene of the black sun burning the abyss was as magnificent as an epic in mythology.

The black sun hung in the sky above the abyss, emitting a strange black light that seemed to be able to penetrate all darkness and illuminate every corner. The sun's light contained endless power, burning like a blazing flame, devouring the darkness in the abyss bit by bit.

In the abyss, countless arms turned to ashes under the light of the black sun, as if they had never existed.

Those arms twisted and struggled in the light, making shrill screams, as if begging for mercy.

The light of the black sun became increasingly intense, burning every inch of the abyss. The flames swept through like a torrent, turning all evil and darkness into nothing.

Under the light of the black sun, the abyss seemed to be completely purified, and the original blood-red ocean turned into a pure open space.

Flames burned in every corner of the abyss, darkness was dispelled, and replaced by a holy light.

Standing on this purified land, John felt an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.

He looked at the black sun and murmured foolishly:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."

Boom! ! ! !

As the abyss burned, countless hymns seemed to ring out in the sky, which was the salvation from heaven.

John held out his hand.

The dawning light of heaven shone upon John.

John therefore...

be saved.

********
ten minutes later.

"what--"

John suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and the moment he opened his eyes, he was sweating all over.

His chest heaved violently, and every breath he took was as heavy as climbing out of the abyss.

His vision gradually became clear, and he found himself still lying on the sofa provided by the company. The familiar office environment returned to his eyes again.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, which slid down his cheeks and soaked his collar.

Every inch of his skin seemed to be soaked with sweat and sticky to his body, but John did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt as light as if he had been reborn.

John felt the changes inside his body, as if a force was surging in his body, dispelling the previous heaviness and depression.

His limbs are strong and every joint is full of vitality, as if he can stand up and run at any time.

His heartbeat became steady and strong. The feeling of powerlessness and fear that had lingered in his heart completely disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented firmness and courage.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, feeling the coolness and freshness at that moment.

Then he slowly sat up and looked around.

Da da da--

The office is still busy, colleagues are working hard at their respective workstations, computer screens are flashing, the sound of keyboards typing can be heard one after another, everything is normal.

John looked down at his hands. His originally pale skin now looked healthy and shiny.

Afterwards, he felt a little confused, as if he had forgotten something.

"I seemed to have had a strange dream just now. In the dream, there seemed to be... the sun?"

"A warm black sun?"

The image of the black sun burning the abyss in his mind was quickly fading away, and everything in the dream was becoming more and more blurred.

"I'm confused from working overtime. There is no such thing as a black sun. And there is no such thing as something that has anything to do with black and is warm..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Lucky John stood up, stretched, and felt every muscle in his body stretching happily.

He straightened his clothes, raised his head, took a deep breath, took a step forward, and walked towards the exit of the office.

Each step was steady and powerful, as if announcing the new life that was about to begin.

John, very lucky.

********
12:25AM.
City of Lexington.

McCulloch Cemetery is located in the Fraser neighborhood in northern Lexington.

The cemetery is quiet and solemn, surrounded by tall oak and cypress trees. The swaying shadows of the trees block most of the sunlight, making the atmosphere in the cemetery seem particularly gloomy.

In the center of the cemetery is a path paved with bluestone slabs, with neatly arranged tombstones on both sides. Each tombstone is engraved with the name and year of birth and death of the deceased.

William Ned was floating in the sky, his body tightly bound by the [Mobius Strip].

His face was full of pain, and his delicate and soft feminine features had completely disappeared, replaced by his former masculine features: hard facial features, thick eyebrows, and deep and cold eyes. His body spasmed in the air, as if every inch of muscle was burning and painful.

This is another immature point of Swinton's Blood - the possessed derivative will tend towards the original setting of "one".

Including appearance and characteristics.

At this moment, there are two dug graves in front of Ned, with photos of a man and a woman on the tombstones. The inscriptions on the tombstones below the photos are clearly visible, reading "Father George" and "Mother Maria" respectively.

The soil next to the two tombs was turned up and scattered around the tombstones, looking messy.

The two coffins had been pried open and the lids had been thrown aside, revealing the bodies lying quietly inside.

In the dug pit, the bodies of George and Maria were well preserved and seemed to be unaffected by the erosion of time.

Their faces were calm, as if they were just asleep.

Next to the corpse, Xia Xiu and his incarnation [Sisyphus] stood quietly.

Xia Xiu was dressed in a black suit, holding a silver cane in his hand, and his golden hat was slightly lowered, covering his cold golden eyes.

[Sisyphus] stood behind Xia Xiu, the purple-gold figure exuding a chilling aura.

He was tall and mighty, with well-defined muscles, his fists clenched, and his arms wrapped in distorted spatial fluctuations.

The air in the cemetery was heavy and oppressive, with only the sound of wind and the rustling of leaves echoing in the silent night.

William Ned's eyes fell on the two bodies that showed no signs of decay, and his heart was filled with anger.

He knew what the scene before him meant. The genetic data chip he had hidden in his parents had been found by Xia Xiu, and he himself had no way to escape.

The pain in his body and the fear in his heart intertwined together, making it almost impossible for him to think, and he could only struggle helplessly.

In Xia Xiu's hand was the chip he found on George, which also contained the genome data of 5 million humans.

“Through genetic testing and analysis, humans are assigned to jobs and roles that best suit them according to their genetic potential, in order to achieve maximum efficiency and harmony in society.”

His golden eyes looked at William Ned, holding up the tiny chip in his hand.

"Community, identity, stability—"

"Everything is designed. Everyone knows his or her destiny from birth to death."

"Everyone has what is called consciousness, breaking the inequality based on blood, birth, wealth and other factors, assigning everyone to the position that best suits their genetic potential, and achieving social fairness and justice. Optimally allocate human resources, maximize the overall effectiveness of society, and improve productivity and efficiency."

“Is this the border you want to create?”

“Those who are enlightened are always happy?”

Ned struggled frantically, trying to say something.

However, Xia Xiu obviously didn't want to hear this. He no longer had the interest to argue with the poor fellow in front of him.

According to the requirements of the extermination order, these people must die!
The golden eyes of the fourth sword-wielding man in the Kingdom of Heaven were filled with indifference, an indifference that showed no respect for the life before him.

His eyes were cold, completely devoid of any sympathy or compassion, and this indifference made Ned tremble wildly inside.

He saw Xia Xiu put the cane in his left hand, then raised his right hand and made a gesture as if he was raising a gun.

The moment Xia Xiu made the gesture, the azure ring on his right index finger began to split, gradually forming a small square, and then a azure pistol appeared in his hand.

The azure light flickered in the night, appearing exceptionally cold.

When Ned saw this scene, endless fear surged in his heart. His body trembled violently under the restraint of the Möbius strip, and his eyes were wide open, full of despair and horror.

Xia Xiu's voice came coldly.

"After you die, all your assets will become the property of your family. As for you, I will reunite you with your parents."

His voice was without any emotion or pause, as if he was making an ordinary decision.

"Uuuuuu——"

Ned looked at Xia Xiu in despair, his lips trembling, and he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.

His eyes were filled with helplessness and fear, his body was too stiff to move, and he could only watch Xia Xiu pull the trigger.

click-

This is the sound of something piercing the head, crisp and creepy.

Ned's head suddenly tilted back, his eyes gradually lost their luster, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

Blood gushed out from his forehead, splashing in the air, forming a bright red arc, and finally falling to the ground and into the coffin.

Patta~
There was silence all around, with only the sound of the wind echoing in the cemetery.

At this moment, what was lying on the ground was no longer a living being, but a cold corpse.

Ned's body was stiff, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, as if he still couldn't accept his fate at the last moment.

Xia Xiu's expression did not change at all. He coldly put away the azure pistol and turned away.

The atmosphere in the cemetery was still gloomy. There were only two coffins and three bodies lying there quietly. The relevant departments of the Heavenly Kingdom had been notified and were rushing here to prepare to receive and clean up these bodies.
