Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 553: The Huge Gap (Part 2 - Seeking Subscription)

Samikina did not respond to Lelajin's arrogant mockery. At this moment, not only he but even Pei Yan, who was standing in the distance, could feel the energy erupting after Lelajin's horns grew again. The mere aura he emitted suppressed Pei Yan, pushing him far away and making it difficult to breathe.

"Reincarnation!" Samikina shouted lowly, his demonic qi surged, and the erupting black mist quickly enveloped him before sweeping across the entire field. It not only engulfed Lelajin but also swept in the army fighting under his feet.

Pei Yan, who had already sensed danger and dodged, was still grazed by the edge of the black mist. At the moment of contact with the black mist, his mind went blank instantly, and then the surrounding scenes began to blur. In the next moment, he was no longer on the battlefield filled with deafening shouts but instead had the unique scent of a summer forest filling his mind and exploding in his heart and lungs.

Looking down, he was no longer a mechanical being, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, beach shorts, and sneakers. Looking up, the bright sunlight filtered through the lush tree canopy, warming his body in a particularly comfortable way. Glancing around, Zhao Yuanhu, dressed in cool summer clothes and eating ice cream, was looking at him curiously beside the bench he was sitting on.

It's an illusion! Having experienced many illusions, Pei Yan made a judgment immediately, but the realism of this illusion far surpassed the influence the Disaster Spreader had on him before. It made Pei Yan so empathetic that he was unwilling to break the development of this dream and wanted to see how things would unfold.

Everything that followed completely left Pei Yan's control. His life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern. He won the victory against the Disaster Legion, reunited with his family, fell in love and broke up with Zhao Yuanhu, married a woman who had never appeared in his previous life, and had children. Relying on the merits he gained in battle, his position in the investigation hall rose step by step. After Gu Shenghui retired, he assumed his position.

Watching his children grow up and his parents age, despite trying every means and using all kinds of powers, he still could not stop the rapid decline of his elderly parents' bodies. Watching his parents pass away in the hospital bed, Pei Yan and his sister Pei Jin cried uncontrollably.

Life had to go on. After his parents' death, as time passed, his position grew higher and higher. Watching the old generation of the investigation hall's high-level officials die one after another, Pei Yan himself became a high-level official of the investigation hall. Then it was his wife, his best friend, and even his younger generation, all succumbed to time's erosion and disappeared from this world before him. Finally, one day, his last moment came. At the end of his life, enjoying unparalleled respect, he sat in a wheelchair, reflecting on his life with a heart long numb to life and death, and slowly closed his eyes.

At some point, a tear rolled down Pei Yan's cheek. Is this my life? No matter how powerful I become, I can't escape the fate of life and death. Watching his beloved relatives and friends die one by one in front of him and ending up alone, Pei Yan suddenly felt that all his efforts were meaningless, and living seemed like a rather dull affair.

This thought jolted Pei Yan, and then the scene before him changed again. A new scene appeared in front of him. This time, he did not join the investigation hall, his sister was not influenced by Lin Junzhao, and he led a normal life like everyone else, going to school, graduating, and living his life step by step.

Looking at his alternative life unfolding like a parallel universe, Pei Yan's mind was in chaos. The decadent and negative emotions repressed in his heart were gradually replaced by a surge of anger! This time, he refused to be just an observer.

On the site of a grand wedding, holding the bride's hand, "Pei Yan" and the family and friends present looked in horror as a lunatic who looked exactly like Pei Yan charged onto the stage wielding a chair leg, knocking the groom-clad "Pei Yan" down. Ignoring the crazed crowd rushing onto the stage trying to stop him and "parents" holding him back, he furiously struck the other version of himself on the head, roaring, "My destiny is mine to decide! Whether good or bad, happiness or sorrow! Whether I regret it or not, I accept it! I will never be manipulated or mocked by others!"

As Pei Yan's strikes with the stick grew more ferocious, blood was already streaming down the other version of himself, and the scene before him grew increasingly blurry until the unique smell of metal inside the mecha on the battlefield once again filled his nostrils. Pei Yan shook his head violently, regaining his clarity.

He had already fallen from the sky, kneeling on one knee on the ground. Looking up, not far from him stood soldiers who had been shrouded by the black mist. Whether they were from the Demon Race or Red Armored Warriors, they all knelt with a dazed expression and tears streaming down their faces, looking like they had completely given up on life.

"What a terrifying illusion!" Pei Yan activated the blower to dry his hair that was already soaked with sweat and expressed his lingering fear.

Through the battle with Friedrich, he knew that besides the basic powers of aging and corrupting objects, each high-level demon race would develop a new specialization in the power of death. Friedrich caused sickness, while Buck House made wounds enlarge.

And within Samikina's power of death, the illusion was not just real; it continually suggested to the victim the sufferings of life, making them abandon the motivation to live. If unsuccessful, it would repeat until the person's spirit completely breaks down.

"Every high-level demon race is a formidable opponent!" Pei Yan praised sincerely. Just getting a little demonic qi on him had such a significant impact, and although Suzi would take over and defend his body when he lost focus, if an enemy truly attacked during his confusion, attacking him from both inside and out, the outcome would really be unpredictable.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, wondering whether this time Lelajin, targeted by such a strange technique, could have come out unscathed. But when he saw the scene in the sky, he opened his mouth in surprise and disbelief: "How is that possible!"

In the sky, Lelajin remained intact, standing in the same place, while Samikina, who was fighting him, had one arm broken, most of his crystalline body shattered, and even his exquisitely crafted and well-made treasured armor was now tattered and unrecognizable.

"How, how is this possible! Suzi, how long was I unconscious!" Pei Yan immediately stood up from the ground, shaking his still-dizzy head, and shouted loudly.

"Less than five minutes!" Suzi replied.

"Less than five minutes? Yet it felt like I lived through two lifetimes! So much changed in those five minutes? Quickly replay the scenes that happened in those five minutes for me!" Pei Yan commanded loudly as he flew into the air, popped out a light screen, and prepared for evacuation.
