Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

Happy Winter Solstice to everyone!

Chapter 495: Ghost from the continent of Teyvat?

The ghost Roddy's memories slowly emerge.

It seems to be different from Roddy’s other memories, the first one to appear seems to be - Death Replay!

That’s right, it was the last memory of the ghost Roddy before his death.

...

Dark and cold!

"Tick, tick..."

In the pitch-black cave, the only sound is the regular sound of dripping water. The sound is monotonous and time seems to be very long.

There are only a few red horned lizards living here, feeding on insects.

In the monotony of the same old routine.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far away...

The red horned lizard, which was still foraging, stopped, raised its fiery red head and listened carefully for a moment, then ran towards a crevice in the rock.

A few seconds later, a stumbling figure ran past the rock.

Wait for the figure to leave.

Not long after, a strange and terrifying roar was heard in the distance.

Before the red horned lizard could hide in the crevice again, it poked its head out to check what was going on.

An indescribable monster that was darker than the darkness and had deep red eyes was floating off the ground and gradually approaching from the distance.

"boom!"

When passing by the red horned lizard.

A blood-red light suddenly appeared, and the motionless red horned lizard was swallowed by the red light in the blink of an eye.

Bringing the red light back to the monster, the ground, only an exquisite skeleton remained, appearing in its place!

Looking at the monster again, its sharp claws rubbed against the rocks, sparks flew, and it followed slowly, enjoying the pleasure of chasing its prey.

...

...

run!

Keep running!

At times like this, you must not stop.

Rody stumbled and ran wildly in the dark and winding cave, occasionally tripping over the uneven rock surface under his feet.

He was holding a shivering child in his arms, which seriously slowed down his speed.

The child was sobbing silently, his tears had soaked his clothes on his chest.

"Brother Luo, are we going to die?"

In his arms, the girl clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and her childish voice with a crying tone echoed in his ears.

"Ow—!"

As if hearing the girl's voice, the monster behind him roared even more ferociously.

Rody's body was also trembling slightly, with fear and exhaustion intertwined, but he acted very strong in front of the little girl. "No, I'm here. I can deal with any monsters."

But the little girl clearly didn't believe it and she remained silent.

Rody continued to run.

Until...he missed a step again in the darkness and stumbled to the ground.

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound of someone falling to the ground.

Roddy held the little girl in his arms and rolled over several times like a gourd until he rolled down the sloping ground and hit the rock wall.

I suddenly felt dizzy and my left foot was numb. It seemed that liquid was gushing out, like an unblocked water pipe.

The pitch-black darkness was extremely frightening.

The smell of blood began to spread.

...

Roddy didn't care about his injuries. Even after falling, he still held the girl tightly in his arms. His anxious voice even drowned out the roar of the monster in the distance.

"Xiaohe, Xiaohe! Are you okay!!!"

"No...it's okay." Roddy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the weak voice in his arms and wanted to get up and continue running.

As a result, as soon as he tried to get up, he felt a piercing pain in his left foot, and he couldn't help but fall to his knees again, and his knees hit the ground with a cracking sound.

"Brother Luo, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?" The girl became even more panicked and struggled to jump out of Rody's arms.

He used all his frail body strength to try to pull up Roddy, who was sweating profusely and holding his left foot, but failed.

"Wuwuwu, it's all my fault. I've dragged my brother down. Brother, please go away and leave me alone."

The girl's crying was filled with regret and despair.

"What are you talking about?"

Roddy groped, grabbed the girl's arm, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, "Hold your brother's neck, how could I leave you here?"

But this time, the girl didn't obey. She was still crying, "But...but my father said that I killed my mother, that I was doomed, that I... would kill more people."

"..." Rody was silent.

"Brother, I don't want you to die, please leave me alone."

...

"Shh!"

He whispered a soft hiss, and the girl immediately shut up and even covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

Roddy also quickly gathered a stream of energy at his mouth, nose, and wound to cover them.

He called this energy "Qi", which can stop his breathing.

In an instant, the cave became extremely quiet again.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

"Wow!"

The next second, the dark monster that had just appeared suddenly appeared where the two had fallen.

The monster looked around for a while, but it was unclear whether it had no eyes or did not rely on eyes to find prey.

After searching for a while.

The monster let out a somewhat annoyed roar.

In a depression more than ten meters away from the monster, Rody tried to slow down his heartbeat, and at the same time stretched out his hand to help cover the mouth and nose of the girl in his arms.

The two looked at each other. There was fear in the girl's eyes, but as she looked at Rody, she gradually calmed down. Her clear eyes, which glowed faintly in the darkness, stared at Rody.

Jing Jing endured the pain of lack of oxygen and inability to breathe, showing a determination and understanding that was inconsistent with his age.

...

Time passed by minute by minute.

Until the two of them were almost on the verge of coma.

The girl's body began to tense up, and her eyes became a little hazy.

Above, the monster, searching in vain, let out a roar of annoyance, as if confirming that this was another bloodletting trap set by Roddy.

He disappeared in the blink of an eye and appeared at the corner at the other end of the cave the next moment.

Finally, it turned a corner and disappeared.

But Roddy did not relax. He continued to wait cruelly, and did not let go even when the girl in his arms began to struggle subconsciously.

More than a minute passed.

Only after making sure that the monster had not come back did he let go.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

"Xiaohe, are you okay? Can you hear me clearly?"

"Ahem, okay..."

When the girl took a deep breath, Roddy finally breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately felt dizzy.

"Let's take a rest first."

As he spoke, Rody fumbled and tore off a rag from his clothes. The sound echoed in the empty cave and was amplified, requiring extreme psychological pressure.

Fortunately, the strip of cloth was successfully torn off.

Roddy put the girl down and fumbled to quickly tie strips of cloth around her ankles and hands. Fortunately, the wounds had already scabbed over.

If it were an ordinary person, there would be no way he could escape.

But Roddy's physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. Although he is still not as good as those who possess the Eye of God, he has an excellent advantage in recovery speed.

The bleeding has stopped and the ankle has started to feel hot and itchy, which is a sign of rapid healing at a speed more than ten times that of a normal person.

"It would be great if I could have an Eye of God. Lord Yan, could you please be merciful and give me an Eye of God?" Rody clenched his teeth and muttered to himself.

A fast recovery does not mean that there will be no pain when you are injured.

The girl next to him had stopped crying. She held onto the corner of Rody's clothes tightly with one hand and stared at Rody with a grimace as he bandaged his wound.

After Roddy finished bandaging the wound, he breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.
