Chapter 13: This Must Be a Sin

Chen Fengshi recalled that when he was in the red mist just now, the golden mist on his body could completely block the red mist. He adjusted his posture, sat on Liu Shuzhi’s straight back, blocked the light beam, then stretched his legs to press down on Liu Shuzhi’s arms, and pressed his hands on Liu Shuzhi’s head.

By doing this, the only red mist left on Liu Shuzhi’s body was the part connected to his legs. Sure enough, the remaining red mist on Liu Shuzhi’s body quickly disappeared, and soon it was invisible outside his skin. As the red mist inside his body was driven away, the red mist light beams connected to him also broke off in a short while.

Liu Shuzhi also stopped struggling and, for some reason, fell into a coma. Chen Fengshi let out a sigh of relief and slowly stood up, feeling weak all over. However, he still could not rest. He could only gather his energy, did the same thing, sat on Sister Yao’s back, pressed her arms with his legs, pressed her head with his hands, and continued to drive away the red mist.

Compared to Liu Shuzhi’s big size, Sister Yao was simply a petite girl, not to mention she had already fainted, so it was much easier. The time to drive it away was also much faster than before, and it was done in less than a minute.

Chen Fengshi saw that the red mist was still far from spreading over, and secretly wondered how to deal with it.

In the woods filled with red mist, the main body could not be seen at all, but if there was no so-called main body, why did the red mist threads on the heads of the people infected by the red mist all extend here?

“There must be some reason!” Chen Fengshi’s eyes swept across the trees connected by the red mist light beams one by one, and he decided to use the most foolish method!

Chen Fengshi rushed into the red mist and hugged the nearest tree.

He was not yet clear about the reason for driving away the red mist, but the most likely reason was the contact area of the golden mist on his body. The larger the area, the faster the red mist would disappear. Just like when he rushed into the red mist at this moment, the red mist that was originally spreading out directly stopped expanding, and after a short while, it even started to shrink.

Although the posture of hugging the tree was not very graceful, Chen Fengshi found the effect to be surprisingly good! In less than a minute, several red mist threads connected to the tree he was hugging disappeared, and the red mist around the tree was also gone, as if it had constantly surged toward his body during this time and then dissipated completely.

Chen Fengshi did not know what the result would be if he continued, but he finally saw the hope of a breakthrough, so his spirits were greatly lifted. He ran straight to another tree connected by the red mist light beams, and hugged the tree in the same way.

Tree after tree, as he hugged and drove it away again and again, the red mist light beams on them all disappeared, accompanied by the volume of the red mist filling the woods becoming smaller and smaller…

In the Xuancheng Hotel, Jiang Yuan, who had been crying for a while, finally began to confide in Shen Ai.

“Do you know? I have actually always liked Chen Fengshi.”

“Ah?” Shen Ai felt very confused. In her memory, there were no such signs at all, nor any related impressions.

“Also, he and I, we have actually been together for a long time. He said he was afraid his family would find out and cut his pocket money, so he forbade me from telling anyone. I always believed it was true, but today I found out he is just a liar! He said this to many women!”

“What?” Shen Ai felt even more dizzy. This was too ridiculous. The sister in the same dormitory whom she thought she knew very well suddenly said she had a boyfriend for several years, whom she had never mentioned before, and this person was actually Chen Fengshi, and she also said he had many girlfriends at the same time… She could not find any signs to prove it at all!

“You don’t believe me?” Jiang Yuan asked back very excitedly.

Shen Ai hesitated, and then, she suddenly zoned out. At this moment, her body was already completely covered by red mist, and more red mist continuously poured out from her skin. A red mist thread popped out from the top of her head and extended outward at a very fast speed.

After just a moment, she came back to her senses, and then, many ‘historical memories’ that could prove Jiang Yuan’s words were added to her memory, such as seeing her with Chen Fengshi outside the school, such as Jiang Yuan occasionally not returning to the dormitory at night, such as… So, she nodded sadly and said: “Of course I believe you!”

“Wuwuwu… I had three abortions for him! Three times… But, among those women deceived by him, I am still not the one with the most! How much of a scum is he! I must have been blind to like him…”

While Shen Ai was listening, in her memory, many images that could corroborate Jiang Yuan’s words were suddenly added, and some of Jiang Yuan’s memories in the dormitory originally, turned into her not being there…

Behind Xuancheng University, in the mountain group.

Chen Fengshi suddenly sneezed. He did not feel cold, and continued walking toward another tree.

He found that the speed of dispelling was getting faster and faster, and the golden light on his body was getting thicker and thicker. Now it had actually reached a diameter of five or six meters. He no longer needed to hug the trees, and could even stand in the middle of three trees, relying on the golden mist to achieve simultaneous dispelling.

Chen Fengshi suddenly remembered that he was a bit hungry from being tired when he drove away the red mist on Liu Shuzhi’s body just now, but now he did not feel hungry at all, and his energy was surprisingly abundant, and the strength in his body was even more than when he first arrived.

The improvement in dispelling efficiency made the number of trees connected by the red mist threads in the woods decrease faster and faster. When there were only a few dozen trees left, Chen Fengshi suddenly saw a dog in the red mist!

He was startled, and his nerves could not help but tense up. After confirming it was a dog and not a wolf, Chen Fengshi still looked around and did not find any other dogs, so he felt relieved.

This was a coffee-colored poodle, its fur looking like a mop, lying quietly under a tree, its tail standing up and wagging very slowly, its eyes staring at the approaching Chen Fengshi without any emotion.

If this was a combat force controlled by the red mist to deal with him, its size was too lacking. At the very least, it should be a pack of stray dogs, right?

Chen Fengshi saw that there was also an extending red mist thread on the dog’s head, so he smiled from a few meters away and said: “This can’t be your main body, right?”

The coffee-colored poodle then stood up slowly in silence, shook its head, shook the fur on its body, and then, unhurriedly paced northward, looking like it could not be bothered to pay attention to anyone.

“I can’t be bothered to pay attention to you either!” Chen Fengshi felt both angry and amused. After dispelling the trees, the red mist threads would break their connections. He was not sure whether the individuals covered by the red mist would return to normal because of this, but at least it should be able to cut off the control.

This was of course more efficient than finding the individuals covered by the red mist one by one to dispel them, and right now it was even more impossible to chase after a dog to dispel the red mist on its body!

When Chen Fengshi walked between several trees and was about to continue dispelling in the same way, suddenly, the red mist threads on the remaining trees in the woods all dissipated in an instant!

At the same time, the remaining large patch of red mist all quickly surged toward the north as if it had grown eyes!

The north!

The dog?

Chen Fengshi immediately realized something was wrong, and hurriedly chased in the direction the poodle had left. He saw a mass of red mist surge into the woods below, and its speed suddenly slowed down a lot.

“Think you can get away?” Chen Fengshi leaped out, jumped straight down the slope, and ran wildly in pursuit!

He secretly blamed himself, he really should not have let that dog go! It was also because he was not a person with a heavy killing intent, and he never had active aggressiveness, otherwise, he would have rather killed it by mistake than let it go just now.

The current situation was very clear. It was unlikely that the main body of the red mist was that dog. The most likely possibility was that it had entered the dog’s body and was using the dog to transfer! Once the main body left, the situation where the red mist threads were originally connected to the trees also changed.

The trees flashed past Chen Fengshi’s ears. For the bushes and grass blocking the way, if he could directly barge through, he did not bother to dodge, and he could not care less about his clothes and pants being torn by branches at this time. Chen Fengshi ran wildly, and after chasing for a short while, he saw the poodle running for its life with its legs spread wide ahead.

The dog was surrounded by red mist, and as it ran, it brought along a patch of red shadows, as if dragging a red light tail behind it; Chen Fengshi, who was chasing behind, was covered in golden mist, and as he ran fast, he was like an unstoppable golden light ball. Of course—provided that these could be seen.

Chen Fengshi’s approach made the dog running in front feel a stronger and stronger sense of crisis. Suddenly, it let out a howl, and immediately after, red mist threads densely flew over from the surrounding sky in all directions, quickly connecting to its body, and then the muscles of the poodle’s body began to swell wildly. Under the rapidly bulging muscle growth, in the blink of an eye, it became a Muscle Dog!

“A dying struggle!” Chen Fengshi shouted loudly, caught up with the Muscle Dog, and pressed down on the bulging muscles on the dog’s back with one hand. He saw the poodle turn its head trying to bite, but the blockage of the muscles made its mouth completely unable to reach the top of its back. It could only kick wildly with its four legs in vain, and was just pressed on the ground, unable to move.

“Consider it your bad luck, you could only find such a short-legged savior. Where can you run to now?” Chen Fengshi held down the poodle, just waiting for the red mist to be completely wiped out by the golden mist on his body.

The red mist around the poodle’s body continuously and crazily surged toward the golden mist on Chen Fengshi’s body, so that the range filled with red mist around was shrinking rapidly. Corresponding to this was the even more intense and crazy struggle of the poodle, and the continuous high-speed growth of its body muscles—until its body shape really turned into a meatball!

As a result, Chen Fengshi had no way to hold it down tightly, because the thickness of the poodle exceeded his control, so it started rolling down the lower part of the slope!

At this moment, Chen Fengshi looked at the darkness down the slope, and the instinct of fear made him want to let go, but he gritted his teeth and held back! Because he knew that once he let go, he might let this meatball escape. Right now, solving it was just a matter of time, and he absolutely could not miss the good opportunity!

The meatball, whose diameter had grown to nearly three meters, rolled faster and faster down the slope. Chen Fengshi’s hands and feet tightly grabbed and stepped on the bulging muscles of the meatball, rolling and spinning along with the momentum—along the way, his back hit tree trunks, his head was hit squarely by protruding stones on the mountain, and his arms and legs were exactly pressed underneath when landing.

Every time, Chen Fengshi was afraid that he would fracture his bones, or get a concussion and become a vegetative state, or be knocked silly. But the next time, he was still clear-headed, and the feeling in his limbs still did not show any abnormalities.

Rolling down for an unknown number of circles, Chen Fengshi felt that the volume of the meatball had finally stopped growing. Once again flying and rolling out from the slope, when he landed, he was unlucky enough to hit a stone with the back of his head again, which made him gasp in pain. Immediately after a shock of impact, the meatball then rolled slower and slower, and finally stopped in the dense bushes…

Chen Fengshi found that there was no more red mist on the meatball he was holding. He looked around and saw no red mist, and no red mist threads connected to the meatball either. But to be absolutely safe, he still maintained a close distance, stood in front of the meatball, and let the golden mist around his body completely envelop it.

Chen Fengshi did not know how long he should wait to be safe, but he saw that his arms, legs, and body were covered with scratches left during the rolling down process, and there were three smashed wounds on the top of his head. Even without looking in a mirror, he could imagine that he himself at this moment was absolutely a living Bloodling!

Speaking of which, the process was not hard, but the result was extremely miserable. Chen Fengshi felt even more that this deed was tragic. He originally thought that the power brought by the strange things he encountered was quite good, but now he could not help but doubt that it was probably because he had committed a sin that it fell upon him!

While Chen Fengshi was letting his imagination run wild, a few people suddenly walked out from the bushes nearby. The leader said: “It is actually the Golden Power of Life?”
