Chapter 440 Please Confirm Identity
Sitting in the chair, Xiong Yu'an was startled to find himself in complete darkness, with only the faint light from the golden flame on his chest.
Where am I? What is this?
Where do I stand in this field?
She suddenly stood up, and the fragile chair fell apart, crashing into the water with a splash.
Startled, Xiong Yu'an lifted her foot and reached out to touch the table in front of her, but found nothing.
With trembling hands, she carefully touched her chest. The flames leaped onto her fingers, and Xiong Yu'an instinctively pulled his hand back and shook it off.
A few flames fell from her hand and landed on the sea, bouncing and rolling away, but they did not go out.
Xiong Yu'an turned his head and looked around.
"Mom! Mom?"
"dad?"
There was no response to her calls, so she could only follow the room's layout from her memory and walk towards the door.
Xiong Yu'an gripped his pants tightly, moving very slowly with each step. The door, which should have been only a few steps away, remained untouched even after dozens of steps, and he didn't even bump into the wall.
She stopped in her tracks. Where would she end up if she kept walking? But if she didn't leave, would she be trapped here forever?
Purple lights flickered in the distance, and Xiong Yu'an lifted his foot, intending to run towards the light.
But she immediately stopped in her tracks.
Is it really safe to have such bright lights in a place like this?
The purple color rapidly increased in size and quantity, revealing various bizarre and distorted outlines.
Her scream almost burst from her throat, and she instinctively covered her mouth and took a step back.
Xiong Yu'an turned around, wanting to run away, but behind him were countless purple lights, like blinking eyes.
"Uh...ah...hiss..." The hoarse voice crawled up her body like a swarm of crabs, making her hair stand on end and her scalp tingle.
She patted her pockets, but couldn't even find a sturdy key to use for self-defense.
Xiong Yu'an trembled even more violently. Looking around, she saw no opening she could escape through, and she hugged herself tightly.
The monster was only a dozen meters away from her, a few meters away... close enough for her to see every single detail of its markings.
Despair cut like a knife through her skin and muscles, as if she were being slowly tortured to death, forced to watch helplessly as the monster approached.
"Whoosh!" A tiny flame suddenly ignited from the sea surface, and with a scream, a monster collapsed.
Xiong Yu'an was stunned for a moment. Fire?
fire!
She looked down sharply at her chest; it was the fire that had just been thrown away—the monster had stepped on it!
Hope ignited in Xiong Yu'an's eyes. He reached out and grabbed handfuls of the fire in his heart, throwing them out.
Flames used the monster as firewood, burning it into walls of fire.
The bright firelight gave her a sense of security, and Xiong Yu'an's fear turned into anger, which was relentless and ruthless.
She didn't know how long she threw them until her shoulders ached and she couldn't lift her arms.
However, the monsters still swept in like a torrent.
The wall of fire gradually shrank; what was originally five meters around her was now only one meter.
Soon a monster broke through the wall of fire.
"Sizzle!" The monster grabbed her left arm, clamping it inward like an iron clamp. The purple bulge looked like a boiling kettle, scalding her and causing a red, swollen patch.
As Xiong Yu'an cried out in pain, his burning right hand lashed back, and the monster was completely consumed by the flames.
[Health: 97%...96%...]
She heard an electronic voice, and the coincidence of the injury made her instantly realize that this was her health.
More monsters grabbed her body, trying to grind her up like a meat grinder.
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain to shake him off.
[Health: 85%...77%...]
Xiong Yu'an didn't know how many times she had been in pain; she had even become numb to it.
She wanted to call for help, but there was no one around her.
Get out!
Get out!
Her burning hands pushed away one monster after another.
Am I just too cowardly and useless?
[Health: 61%...53%...]
The fire in his heart had become weak, Xiong Yu'an's vision was blurry, and his movements were becoming increasingly slow.
She doesn't want to die.
How many more monsters are there?
It still seems like there's no end in sight.
I guess I'm just too cowardly and useless after all.
[Health: 40%...32%...]
Xiong Yu'an fell down, but still managed to support himself on the ground with his legs and arms.
A hopeless death, returning to nothingness—perhaps that is the standard answer she is about to write.
She gazed ahead, the swaying, monster-like figure reflected in her eyes, making her pupils even dimmer, almost merging with the darkness.
I hope it's just a nightmare.
Fire, if only there were more fire...
The monsters were layered upon each other, crowding together with increasingly smaller gaps, and apart from their twisted bodies, nothing else could be seen.
Xiong Yu'an slowly lowered his head.
"Boom! Hiss!" A fierce burning sound came from afar, accompanied by a large number of monsters' miserable roars.
Xiong Yu'an was stunned, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of running rapidly across the water could be heard, along with a shout: "Yu'an, hold on!"
Xiong Yu'an suddenly looked up.
The surrounding monsters seemed to be drawn in and turned around. The dazzling golden light enveloped them all, passed through them, and shone on the person in the middle, turning her eyes gold.
Xiong Yu'an saw the dazzling fireworks and the raging fire.
Dark ashes drifted in the sea of fire, and a woman with a knife on her right arm burst forth.
The opponent suddenly disappeared and reappeared in mid-air in front of her the next second. With a wave of his long sword, he transformed into a ring of fire and leaped down with her.
"Boom boom boom!"
When the woman landed, the flames rolled outwards, wave after wave, burning everything within a ten-meter radius around them.
She plunged the burning, transparent longsword into the sea, severing it from her arm. The flames in her heart floated onto the sword, then spread with it to the surrounding rings of fire.
Like breathing, it vibrates once every second, and the flames of the ring of fire never go out.
The monsters were not allowed to advance an inch; they were all kept outside.
One person and one knife cleared out a large, clean, and safe area.
Xiong Yu'an stared blankly at all of this, the unreality and joy of surviving mixed with the fear that had not yet subsided.
Only then did she feel the ringing in her ears and hear her heart pounding wildly.
Xiong Yu'an gasped for breath, his lungs contracting rapidly.
She wanted to express her gratitude, but she didn't have the strength to speak.
The woman quickly came over, squatted down, and observed her condition with concern and worry.
Xiong Yu'an looked closely at the face in front of him, but he had no recollection of it.
Who is this person?
Do you seem to recognize me?
Congratulations, you have ensured the target's survival.
The target wants to know information about you; please create your identity, explorer.
[Once confirmed, the world will generate logically relevant memories. Please act in accordance with your identity; otherwise, the target will accelerate their alienation or the world will collapse, resulting in the simultaneous death of both the target and the explorer.]
Upon hearing the notification tone, Zuo Xiuyan felt as if the world had come to a standstill. The ashes hung suspended in mid-air, the flames ceased to flicker, and the seawater remained still.
A light blue card appeared in front of her, with white writing on it—
[Identity Card]
[Name: Zuo Xiuyan]
