Chapter 111 The Marshal Insists on Hindering Me (36)
Seeing that he was unharmed, Thanatos was slightly relieved: "You haven't come back. I've been looking for you for two days."
After he finished speaking, Shi Shuo suddenly turned his gaze to Shi Qi: "He's the one who locked me up here for two days! Thanatos, kill him for me!"
Unexpectedly, the mighty Insect King actually listened to Shi Shuo. He immediately stood up, turned around, and looked at Shi Qi with a murderous expression: "Of course! He killed our child, and now he's kidnapped you. I will definitely kill him!"
Their child? Shi Shuo, the protagonist, actually had a child with the Zerg? It seems that Qi Ye killed their descendants back then.
Those inhuman golden eyes stared intently at Shi Qi, who could clearly feel the pain in his head: "Dog, is this prop really useful?"
Seeing Shi Qi's furrowed brows and patient expression, 007, though somewhat anxious, affirmed, "This is the best I could find. Anything better would disrupt the world's balance, and the world's rules wouldn't allow you to use it."
Thanatos showed a hint of surprise when he saw that Thanatos hadn't fainted immediately; but this expression only lasted a moment before he quickly increased the release of his mental energy.
He slowly approached Shi Qi, whose face was gradually turning pale. Seeing him step forward, Shi Qi slowly backed away, trying to widen the distance between them.
But Thanatos had little patience and continued to play cat and mouse with him. He strode forward and reached for the skull.
Judging from how he had just torn the rope with his bare hands, Shi Qi wasn't sure if his skull would still be intact after that slap. So he turned around as fast as he could, ignoring his headache, and ran towards the exit of the dark room.
During his escape, he heard Shi Shuo's command behind him: "Hurry up and catch up, don't let him get away!"
Back in his study, Shi Qi quickly grabbed the book and stuffed it back into the mechanism's position on the bookshelf. As the bookshelf moved, he could even see Thanatos's figure behind it, but fortunately, the bookshelf moved fast enough to trap him inside first.
However, Shi Qi was not at ease because of this. Although the materials used to make the bookshelves were very hard in order to create a dark room, they might not be able to really block him.
Moreover, Shi Qi didn't dare to actually run outside. If he lured Thanatos out, Thanatos's mental power might indiscriminately attack innocent people. Shi Qi, with his items, could barely hold on, but others might be in mortal danger.
Shi Qi now deeply regrets not piloting his own mecha back, even though piloting mechas isn't allowed in the palace.
"Dog, get me the most powerful weapon I can use." The sound of forced destruction came from behind the bookshelf.
007 glanced at it first, then asked, "Would a rocket launcher work?"
Shi Qi gave him a cold look: "Are you kidding me? Or do you want to blow me up too?"
007 glanced around the not-so-large study. Okay, it seems like this would indeed be a lose-lose situation. Then, he asked, "There's also a handgun, which requires 10,000 villain points."
Shi Dian nodded: "That's it." The next second, a pistol appeared out of thin air in his hand. It was one he had used in the army before, and it was indeed very powerful.
Gripping his pistol, Shi Qi held his breath and waited intently for Thanatos to break open the bookshelf. In just a few breaths, a hand passed right through the bookshelf, knocking the books to the ground.
The books fell to the ground in a flurry of activity due to the tremors, but Shi Qi knew that it was not yet time to fire.
The sounds of destruction grew louder and louder, and soon a large hole was torn in the bookshelf. Thanatos lowered his head slightly and tried to crawl out of the hole.
Just as he was about to come out, a bullet was fired at his head. Because the distance was close enough, Thanatos had no chance to dodge it.
The bullet pierced his brain, and Thanatos's body crashed straight to the ground. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, his body suddenly convulsed violently. Then, a sharp "blade" sliced open his abdomen, followed by the emergence of his forelimbs. Then, his abdomen swelled violently, and a large, crimson-gold worm crawled out of Thanatos's belly, its belly ripped open.
When he crawled out, his body was covered in bright red blood and sticky intestinal fluid, which was disgusting.
Perhaps because he heard the gunshot, Shi Shuo also came out of the dark room. When he saw Thanatos's "corpse" on the ground and the Zerg covered in blood, he screamed.
The Insect King turned and glanced at the screaming Shi Shuo. After being stared at by the dense array of compound eyes, Shi Shuo's face turned even uglier, and he said somewhat insanely, "Didn't I tell you not to turn back into your original form in front of me?! Don't look at me! It's really disgusting!" Seeing him like this, Shi Shuo thought of the things he had done with the Insect Clan and how he had been forced to give birth to the next Insect King for it, which made him feel truly humiliated.
The Insect King obediently turned its head to look at Shi Qi, its hateful voice reaching Shi Qi's mind: "If it weren't for you, how would he have seen my original form? You must die today!"
As soon as the sound stopped, the huge insect body charged straight at Shi Qi. Shi Qi pulled the trigger to attack the insect that was attacking him, but he did not expect that the bullet would have no effect on him at all.
Just as Shi was in shock, the Insect King waved his hand and sent him flying, his body crashing heavily into the wall.
The impact was so severe that it even created a deep crater in the wall. When Shi Qi landed on the ground, he felt as if all the organs in his body had shifted. Unable to hold back, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Cough, cough!" Shi Qi coughed incessantly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, looking utterly disheveled. Even that monster had to use a mech to attack the Zerg; it turned out some Zerg had incredibly tough exoskeletons.
But a certain Zerg creature wouldn't let him off so easily. It crawled in front of Shi Qi, raised its sharp forelimbs, and turned back towards him.
Just as Shi Qi closed his eyes, preparing to accept the prospect of seeing you in the next world, a huge impact sounded in front of him.
Upon hearing the sound, Shi Qi opened his eyes and saw a "spectacular" scene before him—the study's windows and surrounding walls had been forcibly smashed open from the outside, and Qi Ye's mecha, which caused the damage, had knocked the Insect King ten meters away, directly creating a large hole in the study.
"They arrived just in time!" Shi Qi thought to himself. If Qi Ye had arrived even a second later, they might really be meeting again in the next world.
Qi Ye maneuvered his mecha to get up from the ground, and then Shi Qi heard his voice: "I brought your mecha too, it's right outside the window." His voice was still full of lingering fear.
