My Endless Life.

Chapter 438 Humanity is hopeless

The pollution spread quickly.

In less than ten minutes, the capital, which had been able to maintain a relatively orderly situation, completely collapsed.

The 057th Bureau and the army could only retreat step by step and let the decision-making leaders take refuge in the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

Wu Miao took Li Qi to activate one of the most powerful items in Bureau 057.

[Faceless witch statue].

This rare item was hidden in the deepest part of Bureau 057 and was heavily protected by Bureau 057. Just to see it, one had to go through more than a dozen procedures.

Originally, Wu Miao didn't want to bring Li Qi here. He wanted Li Qi to follow the others to seek refuge.

However, when he thought that Li Qi's current body was made of a magical object, he let go of the idea and stopped caring about Li Qi. He directly activated the faceless witch god statue.

Therefore, Li Qi and Wu Miao are now standing in front of the faceless witch god statue.

Looking at the simple and plain gray faceless statue in front of him, Li Qi looked it up and down for a while and asked Wu Miao:
"How do you use this thing?"

"Blood."

Wu Miao said softly, then walked forward, took out a small knife placed next to the witch god statue, and gently cut his finger.

The knife was sharp and it instantly cut a gash on the finger, with blood dripping from above.

Wu Miao placed his hand on the head of the witch god statue, letting the blood drip onto the faceless sculpture. Finally, he took two steps back and stared at the witch god statue in front of him.

Li Qi, who was standing by, had already used his observation ability to observe the lines of rules on the statue of the witch god at the same time Wu Miao was awakening the statue of the witch god.

However, as soon as he opened his eyes and saw the regular lines on the statue of the witch god, Li Qi felt something was wrong.

He felt the pain in his eyes and subconsciously touched them, only to feel wet liquid.

Looking down, bright red blood appeared on Li Qi's fingers.

As soon as Li Qi saw the blood on his fingers, he felt a pain in his eyes, and then everything in front of his eyes fell into darkness.

boom.

A tiny explosion sounded in Li Qi's eye sockets. He groped his cheek and pulled out the fragment of his "eye" from his eye socket.

Then he remained silent.

"Meng An?!"

Seeing that the witch god statue had not yet awakened, but something went wrong on Li Qi's side, Wu Miao couldn't help but be shocked.

He looked at Li Qi, whose eyes were covered with blood, and seemed to have something to say, but before he could say it, he saw the witch god statue next to him came to life, uttering meaningless syllables from its mouth.

“■■■■…”

Wu Miao's pupils shrank when he heard this.

He couldn't understand what the Witch God Statue was saying, but he knew that this was the first time the Witch God Statue had spoken since he had obtained it!
Wu Miao didn't understand, but Li Qi sensed the thoughts in his spirit and understood the words of the witch god.

The general meaning of that sentence is...

You are so brave.

Obviously, this was said to Li Qi.

"…What's the meaning?"

The puppet's eye was injured, which was not a big deal for Li Qi himself, but the attack just now seemed not to be aimed at Li Qi's body, but his soul. Therefore, Li Qi now lost his "vision" and could only rely on mental induction to "see" the witch god statue in front of him.

In the spiritual world, the witch god is like a burning torch.

He is bright and warm, bringing a healing feeling to people and dispelling the coldness around the spiritual world.

Li Qi did not feel uncomfortable when in contact with Him. Instead, he felt very comfortable. He subconsciously wanted to get closer to Him, but he forcibly suppressed this feeling.

Because Li Qi knew very well that this was not normal.

This is not normal.

"You observed the Great Dao of Heaven without permission, and you have no way to protect yourself. You are lucky that your eyes were blown off. Don't be so reckless next time, little guy."

A gentle female voice sounded in his ears, and then a warm current poured into Li Qi's spirit, helping to repair his damaged soul.

With the help of this warm current, the damaged part of Li Qi's soul recovered quickly. The only problem was that his eyes were still dark and he could not see anything.

But Li Qi knew that this was not the other party's problem.

It was his own 'vision' that was temporarily taken away by the laws of this world, and it had nothing to do with the other party.

"Thank you."

It's always worth saying thank you for helping repair the damage to your soul.

Li Qi didn't care whether he could see or not. Anyway, his mental power was strong, and he could see more by using his mental power as eyes than by pure vision.

Besides, this deprivation is only temporary. Even if it cannot be restored in this world, it can be restored to its original state by leaving this world and breaking away from the rules of this world.

Li Qi cares more about the witch god in front of him than his own eyes.

He used the repair technique to restore his eyes, and turned his empty eyes towards the direction of the witch god:

"May I ask the name of the Wushen?"

"Houtu."

Hou Tu! ?
If Li Qi's eyes were fully functional, his pupils would definitely be dilated or shrunk.

He turned to Hou Tu and asked, "The Hou Tu in the myth?"

"Hmm?" Hou Tu made a puzzled sound: "...I remember that there seemed to be no legends about us in this era?"

"..."

Li Qi kept silent. He didn't know how to answer.

But Hou Tu did not ask any more questions. She said gently, "Forget it. No matter what, since we have met, it is fate. Little brother, wait for me here for a while. Let me deal with the chaos here and come back later."

As the witch god said this, he disappeared from the spot.

After the witch god left, Wu Miao seemed to react and asked Li Qi:
"What were you talking about just now?"

"…Huh? Didn't you hear that?"

"I just heard you guys talking in a bunch of words I couldn't understand... Can you communicate with her?"

Wu Miao's tone was very urgent. Li Qi turned his head to look at him and felt the anxiety in his emotions.

Li Qi pondered for a moment, and instead of answering Wu Miao's question, he asked:
"Do you know...Hou Tu?"

"The witch god just now?"

Wu Miao asked back.

This time it was Li Qi who was stunned: "...You know Hou Tu?"

Li Qi didn't pay much attention to the myths of this world, but thinking back, there should be no legend of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, otherwise Bureau 057 would not have failed to record these things on its official website.

But if there is no legend of the Twelve Ancestral Witches in this world, how did Wu Miao know the name Hou Tu?
Li Qi was very confused, and then Wu Miao gave the answer:

"We have summoned four witch gods so far, and their names are Qiangliang, Jumang, Xuanming, and Houtu... Among them, only Houtu is the most friendly to humans. The one just now was Houtu. Do you know her?"

"How do you know their names? Don't you understand what they are saying?"

"As soon as they showed up, the names popped into our heads, but beyond that, we didn't know anything."

After all, we can't communicate.

After Wu Miao finished explaining, he turned the question back to the beginning: "You haven't answered me yet, can you communicate with the witch gods?"

Li Qi thought for just a second, and then immediately replied: "It's just a spiritual exchange."

"Great!"

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, Wu Miao shouted excitedly. He half squatted down, grabbed Li Qi's shoulders and said:
“Meng An! If you can really communicate with the Witch God, then when He comes back, please make sure to ask clearly about the price of using the Witch God statue! This is very important!!”

The reason why Bureau 057 does not dare to use the Witch God Statue excessively is that the price of the Witch God Statue is unclear.

They were afraid that the price of the witch statue was beyond their ability to bear, so they could only use the witch statue at the most critical moment.

But even so, they are worried about accidents, so they have to think carefully every time they use this powerful weapon, and they will only activate this magical item when they have no choice.

If Li Qi could find a way to find out the price of the witch statue, then as long as the price was not too severe, Bureau 057 would have fewer concerns in the future.

At least, they can decide when to use the witch statue.

Li Qi nodded and agreed to this request which was not really a request.

The main reason was that he was also very curious about the power and price of the witch statue. Even if Wu Miao didn't ask him, he would ask Hou Tu.

Hou Tu left quickly and came back quickly.

Li Qicai chatted with Wu Miao for a while, and then Hou Tu returned to them.

Feeling the warmth of the spiritual world reappear, Li Qi asked Hou Tu doubtfully:
“…solved?”

"Unfortunately, it has not been resolved. The pollution here is too severe and too severe... Little brother, please tell the gentleman next to you that this place... and other cities can no longer be defended. Think of a way out as soon as possible."

Hou Tu's voice was very gentle, but her gentleness was full of compassion.

Compassion for the human race.

Li Qi heard the hidden meaning behind Hou Tu's words and looked up and asked, "Even the Wu Shen can't solve it?"

"We are not gods, but just a group of 'people' who have some means to manipulate the laws of heaven. Now the laws of heaven are in chaos, and the world is about to return to chaos. Everything we do is just to temporarily delay the chaos. If we encounter tricky laws of heaven, we will be powerless."

Hou Tu shook her head regretfully.

Li Qi, who saw Hou Tu's actions in the spiritual world, felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard this.

But think about it carefully.

In any case, the witch gods turned into a witch god statue and fell here, which means that their civilization has also disappeared.

They cannot even save their own civilization, let alone other civilizations.

Li Qi was still thinking when he heard Hou Tu say:

“By the way, remember to remind him not to use us anymore. The price of our transformation into strange objects is very high. Every time we use them, it will lead to the complete extinction of a human race.

"If you continue to use it, I'm afraid that before the world returns to chaos, your human civilization will completely disappear."

"!?"

Hou Tu's words about the price of the Wu Shen statue made Li Qi's hair stand on end. It seemed that Hou Tu was about to leave, so Li Qi quickly asked:

"What do you mean by completely disappearing?!"

“The literal meaning is, if you randomly select a person and trace back from him, his father, grandfather, great-grandfather… will gradually disappear from history.

"The number of people who disappear will be linked to the strength of our actions. Now that I have stopped the pollution in various cities, all members of a human race within the 16th generation will disappear..."

Hou Tu said this and sighed: "This kind of disappearance is the most terrifying. No one will remember or think of it, including all the records of them in this world will disappear, so don't use us anymore in the future.

"After all... the human race is beyond salvation."

Hou Tu said so.

He pronounced the 'death sentence' on this human civilization.
