IUD-CHAPTER 253 RESIST

Clang!

In that fleeting moment, an unprecedentedly dazzling crimson radiance burst forth in the aria.

No.

Rather than calling it a burst, it was more like an explosion.

Just like flames ignited by pouring oil, the crimson light surged violently from Hidan, resembling the flames of rebellion or riot. The performance seemed like the startle of a wild beast suddenly awakening from slumber.

At this time, Fang Lis dagger had already penetrated half of Hidans Death Line, cutting that extremely fine crack-like Death Line in two.

To cut off the remaining half, not even the blink of an eye would be required.

However, Fang Li was unable to sever the remaining half of the Death Line no matter how he tried.

With the explosion-like burst of crimson light, Hidans speed, as it flashed through s.p.a.ce, abruptly increased. Before Fang Li could manage to cut through the remaining half of the Death Line, it glittered into s.p.a.ce and shot past with extreme speed.

Thus, as a blade of light, Fang Li skimmed past Hidan, his figure flas.h.i.+ng by.

As for Hidan, it transformed completely into a crimson laser, entering the Koyomi Kagami.

P Ch!

This was the sound that a bullet makes when it pierces through flesh.

The metal bullet that granted an exceptionally potent superpower to a person traversed s.p.a.cetime at this moment, returning to three years ago, and ruthlessly pierced through Arias back, who was facing away from everyone, through the Koyomi Kagami.

Ah

This urgent cry of despair reached through the Koyomi Kagami from three years ago and entered the ears of everyone present.

Shortly afterward, Aria within the Koyomi Kagami slowly slumped to the ground.

The scene came to an end here.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the Koyomi Kagami suddenly trembled, fading away like ripples dissipating on the surface of water until it gradually disappeared.

The whole scene fell into silence.

At this moment, Aria seemed stunned.

At this moment, s.h.i.+rayuki wore an expression of incredulity.

Even Sherlock, seemingly unprepared for such a sudden turn of events, widened his eyes slightly in surprise.

Ha ha Hah

Fang Lis breath began to hasten. He knelt half on the ground. The white phosph.o.r.escence that had been burning like flames on his body gradually subsided, ultimately vanis.h.i.+ng completely.

The ice-blue Mystic Eyes in Fang Lis eyes dimmed, returning to a pair of dark-colored pupils.

And beneath those dark-colored pupils, weariness and astonishment gradually surfaced.

The weariness stemmed not just from his body losing a significant amount of moisture but also from using the Stigma.

The astonishment was directed at the phenomenon that Hidan had just triggered.

Hidan reacted to my attack?

This phenomenon wasnt necessarily significant, nor was it insignificant.

To say it wasnt significant was because Hidan was inherently a miraculous metal, and it might have a mechanism to trigger certain phenomena when subjected to attacks.

To say it wasnt insignificant was because the phenomenon Hidan had just triggered could prove one thing.

Could it be that Hidan, the crimson Hihiirokane, possesses consciousness?

This conjecture was confirmed.

Youre right, Fang Li-Kun, Sherlock turned his gaze towards Fang Lis body, and his eyes displayed a depth and enlightenment that had not been seen before, as he said, Indeed, the crimson Hihiirokane does possess consciousness, and its intelligence might even surpa.s.s that of humans.

Therefore, when Fang Lis attack posed a fatal threat to Hidan, the consciousness of the crimson Hihiirokane was awakened. In order to avoid being killed by Fang Li, it proactively triggered its ability, causing Hidans speed to increase greatly and escape Fang Lis attack.

This also means that your recent attack on Hidan had an effect, and its truly astonis.h.i.+ng, Sherlock marveled, Being able to negate superpowers and affect non-living ent.i.ties, while also potentially inflicting near-fatal damage to human bodies upon contact. I never expected you to possess such an ability. The t.i.tle of Gun Magician is simply inadequate for you.

However, it seems your attack didnt entirely succeed, Sherlock sighed, directing his gaze squarely at Fang Li and saying, But because of your attack just now, all the mysteries have finally been unraveled.

All the mysteries? Fang Li met Sherlocks gaze.

The mysteries of Hidan within Arias body, and Sherlock s.h.i.+fted his vision to another direction, gazing at the girl with profound intent, the mysteries surrounding Hotogi Shrine.

Hotogi Shrine? Fang Lis eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked towards s.h.i.+rayuki.

There, the billowing steam that had surrounded her had dissipated. s.h.i.+rayuki, who seemed to have had her ability canceled by Sherlock, sat slumped on the ground. With a complex gaze, she looked at Fang Li, silent.

At this moment, Arias exclamation suddenly rang out.

Great-grandfather?!

Accompanied by Arias fl.u.s.tered voice, Fang Li and s.h.i.+rayuki reacted and immediately turned towards Sherlock.

There, Sherlocks appearance had unexpectedly changed.

From his original appearance as a handsome man in his twenties, he slowly began to age.

It was only natural.

Sherlocks lifespan had been extended due to Hidans influence.

Now, since Hidan had traversed time and had been inherited by Aria from three years ago, Sherlock, who lost the means to extend his lifespan, naturally began to wane.

My time is up, huh.

Sherlocks expression didnt hold a trace of panic; instead, it carried a sense of relief, as if a burden had been lifted.

Being able to unravel the two mysteries that have been on my mind until the very end, I can leave without regrets.

Sherlock looked at Fang Li, and a gradually aging face broke into a cheerful smile akin to that of a big boy as he spoke those words.

Youre an incredible person. Right from the start, you did things that were unexpected, and even at the curtain call, you surprised me once more. Until now, no one has been able to achieve this level.

With someone like you as Arias partner, it seems I can rest a.s.sured.

Therefore, Fang Li-Kun, Im entrusting my great-granddaughter to your care. I hope you can stand together with Aria, face the upcoming fate, inherit my research, and someday unravel the mysteries of the crimson Hihiirokane.

Leaving these words behind, Sherlock turned around and walked away slowly.

Wait! Fang Li struggled to stand, but due to the fatigue of his body and soul, he knelt down again.

BOOM

At this moment, the entire hall began to tremble.

No, it should be said that the entire submarine was trembling.

The unusual vibration told Fang Li.

This submarine was rapidly ascending from the seabed, heading towards the surface at full speed.

As for Sherlock, he ascended a staircase and disappeared from Fang Lis sight.
