Jasmine looked at it, shook her hands, and shouted to Su and the others surrounding Hulk: "Help him!"
"Understood." Su and others responded calmly - they are standing here just to do this.
After listening to Jasmine's words, the group of people quickly took action and blasted waves of highly condensed energy towards Hulk.
"Bang bang bang!"
The energy collided with the light covering Hulk's body, causing a roar. Hulk's body shook, and the light fluctuated.
At this time, Jasmine, who was standing directly in front of Hulk, opened the third eye between her eyebrows and stared at a position on the right side of Hulk's chest.
"despair!"
Jasmine took a step forward, stepped forward, passed her hands through the staring position, violently broke into the light that covered Hulk's body, grabbed Hulk's shoulders with force, and pressed hard to the ground.
"Boom!"
With a sound, Hulk knelt on his knees, his body shook violently, the light around him quickly dissipated, and his chest also dimmed.
"Huhuhu—"
Hulk put his hands on the ground and lay on the ground breathing heavily, almost spitting out his tongue. It took him a long time before he had the strength to stand up.
Jasmine sighed and said to Hulk: "It seems that your level of fusion with the energy furnace is medium, and you can only reach 45% of your potential. Remember this level, and never exceed it in the future, otherwise it will There’s a high chance it’s out of control.”
"Yes." Hulk nodded, indicating that he remembered it. He looked a little ashamed and said, "Captain, I'm sorry, I'm useless. I spent so many resources and can't even realize 50% of my potential."
"Don't blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you." Jasmine shook her head and said calmly, "The main reason is that we don't know enough about the energy furnace to fully grasp it. The limit of potential is only 70%. If you can reach 45%, that's enough." Passed."
"But... can we still do that, Captain?" Hulk asked worriedly.
Jasmine obviously knew what Hulk was referring to. After hearing this, her eyes flashed slightly, and she hesitated and said, "It should be about the same. The rule of 50% of the potential is not fixed and can be changed... But I have to discuss the details with Mr. Xizhe." Let’s discuss it.”
"Maybe Mr. Xizhe will have a way to improve this situation." Jasmine said, walking into the castle, and the others followed.
…
In the castle, Jasmine stopped in front of a door sealed by a stone. Inside the door was Xizhe.
All in all, Xizhe has been there for more than half a month since he came back from the ruins. There has been no sound during this period, which is worrying.
It is true that Xizhe brought a lot of water and food before going in, but Jasmine still felt that this was not a good sign.
Pursing her lips, Jasmine called into the door: "Mr. Xizhe?"
There was no response from the door.
Taking a deep breath, Jasmine called out again: "Mr. Xizhe?"
There was still no response from the door.
Jasmine raised her eyebrows and without shouting a third time, she pressed one hand directly on the door sealed by stone. The yellow light flashed, the spell was released, and the stone shook violently, shattering into powder, revealing the room inside.
The first thing you notice when you enter is the water and food placed on the side of the door.
The clear water was filled to the brim in several jars without moving at all. The same goes for the food. The bread has become dry and white, and the bacon has begun to turn black, with gray-green mycelium growing on the surface.
Looking towards the middle of the room, what he saw was Xizhe's clothes and the black iron mask, but not Xizhe himself.
Looking around the room, there was no life. Xizhe seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
But Jasmine knew that Xizhe had not disappeared because she saw a pile of ashes on the ground. The ashes have a silvery color, which is the manifestation of the burning spell, and it is also... the former Xizhe.
Yes, it's Xizhe.
Xizhe was incinerated.
Jasmine didn't know whether this was caused by Xizhe's side effects from the curse, or whether he was too seriously injured and chose to commit suicide. But there is no difference now. After all, the result is right in front of us and cannot be changed.
Staring at the ashes on the ground, Jasmine clenched her hands and froze.
The rest of the people following Jasmine also froze after seeing it. They guessed the truth, but they didn't want to believe it.
Jasmine looked straight at the ashes for a long time. Her straight shoulders dropped a little bit. Instead of walking into the door, she turned around and walked towards the corner of the castle hall. He sat down there, hugged his legs with his hands, and said hoarsely: "Don't disturb me, I want to be quiet."
The rest of the people were silent, not daring to disobey. They looked at each other, walked into the room silently, and packed up.
…
Jasmine remained silent for most of the day, until Su, the witch, approached with gentle steps.
Su glanced at Jasmine and said slowly: "Captain, everything has been taken care of. The room has been cleaned, and Mr. Xizhe and his clothes have been... buried."
"Yes." Jasmine nodded with a dull expression and said nothing.
Su looked at Jasmine's appearance, hesitated, and then changed her title and said, "Princess! I know that Mr. We are all prepared to sacrifice our lives for this, aren't we? Mr. Xizhe, he just... fulfilled his promise first."
"I know." Jasmine said, "But..."
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the middle of the sentence, he shook his head and took back his words.
"Forget it, let's do it." Jasmine breathed out, stood up, and looked at Su, "Don't worry about me, I know what my responsibilities are. The death of Mr. Xizhe really surprised me, but I can still accept it. After all, it’s not like I haven’t experienced sadder things before.”
At the end of the sentence, Jasmine smiled miserably, and her face regained its determination. Glancing at Su, he saw something in Su's hand and asked, "What is that?"
"Um, it's a letter, left by Mr. Xizhe in the room." Su said and quickly handed it out, "It should be for you, princess, so I took it over."
"Yes." Jasmine responded, took the letter, opened it and read it.
While watching, his brows wrinkled several times and then slowly opened, making Su very curious.
After a moment, Jasmine put down the letter, looked at Su who was confused, and said with a sigh: "It turns out that Mr. A lot of suggestions... It can be regarded as his last effort.
Mr. Xizhe guessed that the Hulk Fusion Energy Furnace was not ideal and had less than 50% of its potential. Coupled with his departure, our team was weaker than expected and unable to successfully complete the following things, so he specially came up with a solution. "
"What plan?" Su asked.
"He suggested we seek help from a man."
"Who?" Su was even more confused.
Jasmine glanced at Su and gave her answer: "It's the guy who worked with us to explore the ruins before."
"Him?" Su frowned, "Why?"
“Mr.
"But we can't trust each other so easily, princess!" Su said seriously, "Princess, you have to know that we don't know the details of that guy at all, and he is also from the Soma Alliance. Once we know our identities, who will know? What attitude will he have?"
"Don't worry, I have also considered what you said, and Mr. Xizhe has also considered it." Moli said, "So Mr. Xizhe said in the letter that this is just a suggestion. Let us choose whether to accept it or not based on the specific situation. If If we are confident that we can do it on our own, we don’t necessarily have to ask each other for help.”
"Then..." Su looked at Jasmine and hesitated to speak.
Jasmine waved her hand to stop Su from saying the following words and said: "Let me think about it, let me think about it before making a decision."
"Yes." Su turned around and left helplessly.
