Chapter 210: Deep Red
Chapter 210: Deep Red
Inside the lighthouse, the flame in the middle burned wildly. The woken-up Su An curled up at the corner. His large body was covered in bandages. Thankfully, he was not that sensitive to pain. Even the giant claw mark under his ribs only made him frown. He lowered his head and occasionally glanced at the stone door. He was waiting for Su Xiaoxiao. Before his sister left, she whispered in his ear that she’d be back soon.
In Su An’s world, there were only two kinds of people: his sister and people who weren’t his sister. His sister was his only family and the only person who could understand him. They had a communication system that no one would understand. He was not as dumb as he appeared. Only his sister knew how amazing her brother was.
He had a power that others couldn’t even fathom. Empathy...
It was not empathy between humans. Instead, he could empathise with anything alive. He could fathom their feelings and thus understand them and their situation. The other party could be a fierce tiger or an inconspicuous grass.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed her brother’s ability accidentally. When they were young, Su Xiaoxiao brought her brother to the aquarium to watch the dolphins performance. The performance was great. However, after the performance, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realised her innocent young brother was crying profusely.
Back then, he could barely express himself. He cried and told her, “Big sister... those big fish are so sad. They are hungry.” Similar incidents kept happening. Su An would pick up wildflowers and scolded Su Xiaoxiao, “They were frightened by you. You even stepped on them.”
The most dangerous time was at the zoo. Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t paying attention, and Su An somehow entered the tiger’s cage. Instantly, he was surrounded by several tigers. However, the tigers didn’t attack. A large tiger came over. It exuded majesty and strength. This tiger was clearly the pack leader.
If not for the other visitors and the workers stopping her, Su Xiaoxiao would have joined her brother already.
However, such a beast stopped after it approached Su An. Then, everyone present saw an unbelievable scene. The boy, around 7 or 8, shuffled his way to the tiger. Then, like petting a house cat, he scratched the tiger’s ears and touched its head.
The next second, the tiger pulled Su An, who was barely the size of its head, into its embrace. Then, as it brushed against him, it made a crying sound that was all too human.
This power was... immensely helpful in the nightmare realm. It turned her brother into a human radar. No matter how natural one’s disguise was, it was pointless in Su An’s eyes. However, the sad thing was due to an issue with his ability to communicate, sometimes, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t grasp her brother’s meaning. Plus, Su An’s power would sometimes lead to issues that she couldn’t decipher.
For example... the aged woman in this mission.
When they first met, Su Xiaoxiao told her brother to check all of them. Back then, the aged woman was white with flecks of grey in Su An’s eyes. She was similar to their butler. However, Su An gave a different analysis not long after that. The aged woman had turned from white to pure white. Based on his words, it was purer than white... Then, was it colourless?
Did that mean the aged woman was more innocent than a newborn?
She couldn’t get it.
The biker woman was grey. Liang Long was white with flecks of red. Chen Ran... was an extremely rare deep red!
This result stunned Su Xiaoxiao. She had never encountered something like this. She used her channels to gather information about the nightmare realm and its players. She found out about an organisation. It was called Deep Red. Their members were known as the Disciples.
Not many people knew about them. However, those who had encountered them and somehow survived only had one thing to say about them.
They were all crazy...
