My Endless Life.

Chapter 147: Changes in the City of Chaos

In a tavern somewhere in the city of disorder.

A petite girl dressed in waitress clothing was hiding in the wine cellar.

Through the hole in the wine cellar, the girl looked outside with a trembling body, watching the monsters with black blood flowing through the tavern.

The girl's name is Aina, and she is just an ordinary member of the country of the survivors in the City of Chaos.

She had a father who served in the Guards and a mother who ran a tailor shop in the city.

Although Aina has never left the country of the survivors, never left the fog area, and never been to other cities in her life.

But she lives a happy life.

At least...she didn't have to worry about where she was being engulfed by the foggy area.

After all, they were already in a foggy area.

But Ina never thought that when the accident happened, it would come so suddenly and catch her off guard.

That day, she came to work in the pub of her mother's friend as usual to earn some pocket money for herself.

But suddenly everything changed.

For some unknown reason, the guests in the tavern suddenly became brutal. Black blood flowed from their bodies and they ferociously attacked all living things around them.

The owner of the tavern, an old man with a big belly, was the first to be knocked down by them because of his limited mobility.

Those monsters with black blood were biting the old man's body, and soon the old man became the same as the monsters.

Just like that, the entire tavern turned into a living hell in an instant.

Thanks to another waitress in the tavern, who pulled Ai Na into the wine cellar in time, she was saved.

At that time, they thought that everything would be over soon and the guards in the city would definitely help solve it all.

However they were wrong.

Now, nearly a month had passed and their food was almost gone, but there was still no news from the escort team.

Yesterday, Aina's friend, the waiter who saved her life, decided to go out to find food and ask for help.

She left the tavern with her belongings and never returned.

Aina didn't know whether she was dead or alive, but she was sure that if she didn't find a way to find food and water, she would definitely die here.

"I have to...I have to go out...I have no choice but to go out..."

Holding the relic in her hand, Aina muttered to herself.

The relic in her hand was just an ordinary fourth-level relic, whose ability was only to help cover up her footsteps and make her body a little more flexible.

There was nothing she could do besides that.

But precisely because of her ability to mask the sound of her footsteps, perhaps Aina could bypass those monsters and go outside to look for resources.

As long as she was careful.

"Yes... yes, just be careful..."

Hunger forced Ina to leave the wine cellar.

She calculated the movements of the monsters and used the relics to cover up the sound of her footsteps while she secretly moved out from the blind spots of the monsters' vision.

After these days of observation, she and her friends also summed up the monsters' behavior patterns.

The five senses of these monsters are not much different from those of ordinary people, and the key point is that they cannot use relics.

If it were the guards who possessed high-level relics, it would probably take less than a minute to deal with these monsters.

But for ordinary people, monsters with great strength and speed are their nightmares.

Once you are targeted and surrounded by them, you will definitely be torn into pieces and swallowed.

Of course, if you are lucky, you may become one of them.

But when Aina looked at the black blood and unrecognizable skin on these monsters, she couldn't help but feel sick.

If she were to become like this, she might as well just die!
"Faster...faster..."

Taking her eyes off the monsters, Aina kept moving forward, dodging as she walked towards the door.

However, just as Aina was about to approach the door, she noticed that the wandering monsters all stopped.

Inside the tavern, several humanoid monsters with black blood flowing out of their bodies were looking towards the door of the tavern.

"!"

For a moment, Aina felt as if she had been discovered by them.

She covered her mouth, her heart almost jumping out of her chest, and closed her eyes, waiting in despair for the monsters to pounce on her.

However, after a while, Aina found that the monsters did not seem to notice her.

The reason they stopped was because they were outside the tavern.

Aina heard footsteps coming from outside.

"Teacher...what were those monsters just now?"

As the footsteps came, Aina heard a young man's voice.

The young man asked one of the team members in a low voice, and then the man he called teacher asked back:
"This is my first time here too, do you think I would know?"

The man the boy called teacher had an overly young voice and didn't sound like a 'teacher' at all.

After the young man finished speaking, another voice was heard in the team.

It was a woman's voice, and she said:

"Master, there is movement."

"I heard."

The young man said this and suddenly stopped.

After he stopped, all the footsteps disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Aina really wanted to stick her head out the window to see if the group of people outside were still there.

But at this moment, Aina heard a long flute sound——

"Woo——"

The sound of the flute was so loud that it almost spread throughout the entire street. When the monsters hiding on the left and right heard the sound of the flute, they began to go crazy. "Roar!!!"

They let out screams that were not like those of a human, and rushed towards the door. Aina, who had originally stayed at the door, immediately retreated when she saw this, and shrank into a corner, looking at the monsters pouring out in horror.

After all the monsters ran out of the tavern, Aina finally remembered something. She went to the window and looked outside through the blood-stained window.

Then, Ina saw a scene that she would probably never forget.

On the city streets outside, a group of four people stopped in the middle of the street, led by a young man wearing Tanwu family clothes and a black glove on his left hand.

He stood at the front, looking expressionlessly at the monsters running towards him.

Aina didn't see any movement from him, and even felt that he might not have moved at all, but she saw the monsters rushing towards him falling down one after another.

Some monsters had their heads cut open, some had frost appearing on their bodies, and some had their bodies spontaneously combusting for no apparent reason, letting out screams and wails of pain.

Those monsters that were extremely terrifying to Aina turned into corpses on the ground.

The streets were covered with black blood, and the stench rushed into Aina's nose, making her stomach churn.

From the sound of the flute, to the monsters pouring out, to all the monsters falling to the ground.

In just a few dozen seconds, the monsters that were originally transformed from humans nearby turned into motionless corpses on the ground.

Aina looked at the scene in shock and almost forgot to use the relics to cover her steps.

This shock lasted until the boy turned his head.

The golden eyes met Aina's dark green pupils. Aina was startled by the coldness revealed in those golden eyes and sat on the ground with a scream.

"what!"

"Teacher, there's someone!"

Aina's exclamation made the blond boy in the team aware of it.

The boy wearing black gloves, who was leading the team, glanced at the blond boy:
"I saw."

Then Aina felt as if her body was grabbed by something and pulled towards the door.

“Ah…Ahh!! Don’t…don’t kill me! I’m not a monster! I’m not a monster!!!”

When Aina was dragged out, she thought she was going to be killed by the other party and was so scared that she almost cried.

She shouted loudly, hoping that the other party would spare her life.

Perhaps Aina's plea for mercy worked, or perhaps the other party never intended to kill Aina at all.

The young man, who had the same golden eyes as the princess of the surviving tribe, said softly to Aina:

"Calm down, I don't mean to kill you."

"what……"

After waving her hands around for a long time, Aina finally put them down, sat on the ground and looked at the boy in front of her.

She didn't know if it was Ina's illusion, but she saw some tenderness in the boy's eyes. The moment her eyes met his, Ina lost her vigilance and calmed down all of a sudden.

"Calm down?"

The boy asked softly.

For some reason, Aina blushed and nodded, saying:
"I'm sorry, I thought you were going to kill me..."

"We are the Tanwu family. We will not attack ordinary people. Madam, may I ask your name? And...what exactly happened here?"

The young man asked Aina in a low voice.

Looking up and meeting the boy's gaze, Aina was in a trance and said unconsciously:

"My name is Aina..."

Then she told everything that happened here.

……

The new arm and magic work together...very useful.

Looking at the girl in front of him who had been hinted by him, Li Qi felt extremely satisfied.

As mentioned before, Li Qi needs to perform the "touch" operation to cast magic.

It’s just that in the past, whether using the Rubik’s Cube or performing magic with silk threads, there was always some awkwardness and obstruction.

Li Qi guessed that this might be because those parts did not belong to Li Qi's body.

And now, the left hand that was re-nurturing by the angel has become the perfect 'medium' for Li Qi to release magic.

Not only can this left hand transform into anything Li Qi can remember, but the circuit properties will not change when it changes, and there is no sense of lag when transmitting "qi".

Therefore, when Li Qi turned his left hand into silk threads and wrapped them around Ina.

His suggestion technique was also transmitted to Aina's mind at the same time.

There is the amplification from the magic device that my left hand has transformed into, plus the feeling of unobstructed flow.

Li Qi had the illusion of returning to his previous life.

But that's all it is now.

The second-level magician level, even with the enhancement of magic devices, is not enough for Li Qi to cast powerful magic.

The main reason why Li Qi can use magic is that magic cannot leave the body.

what?
You ask Li Qi why he can fire the magic cannon?

That's because the magic cannon itself is just a gathering of energy, while magic needs to be constructed using magic runes.

Energy can continue to exist after leaving Li Qi's body, but once magic leaves Li Qi's body, the magic runes will collapse instantly and he will not be able to use any magic at all.

But now this restriction is not too big for Li Qi.

Because he can completely rely on extending the attack range of his left hand and cast magic in a 'contact' manner.

For example, those monsters whose bodies are frozen or burning.

But without mentioning magic for now, Li Qi's thoughts quickly turned to Ina.

After all, the most important thing now is to figure out what exactly happened in this city.
