nIt had been raining for more than twelve hours, but the rain continued unabated. The water on the ground was almost over the threshold, almost up to one’s ankles.

nWang Yeze’s face was grim, and his entire body was hidden behind the corner wall.

nHalf of his face was exposed, his eyes were bloodshot, and under them were all black and blue. Upon closer examination of his face, it was clear that his face was a bit pale, and even his breathing was a bit short.

nWang Yeze’s condition can be described as very much like a patient who can only survive on oxygen provided by an oxygen tank.

nWang Yeze’s eyes landed on Luo Xiaoxiao’s body.

nLuo Xiaoxiao had her back to him and was dressed neatly. She held her cell phone in both hands as if waiting for a reply from someone.

nThe distance between the two of them was not too close, but definitely not too far.

nWang Yeze’s face was hideous.

nHe was in a very critical situation.

nHe could clearly feel that his health was deteriorating. He even went to the hospital for a full body checkup, but the results showed that he was in perfect health.

nHe was lucky, but as he watched his body crumble little by little, he didn’t understand what was going on.

nThe feeling was subtle, as if something unavoidable was warning him to act quickly, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.

nThis feeling of clearly feeling the passing of life made him increasingly anxious and unable to calm down.

nThe most unbearable thing was that he tried to contact the system for an explanation and help.

nBut it had been going on for days! He couldn’t summon the system at all! It’s as if the system never existed!

nIf it weren’t for the fact that his memories couldn’t be faked, he would have wondered if the existence of the system was a dream!

nIt disappeared too cleanly! There was no shadow, no trace of it.

nAnd the more reality set in, the more restless he felt.

nSo now, in his desperation, he has completely pinned his hopes on Luo Xiaoxiao.

nNow, the only thing that keeps him alive is the belief that he should kill Luo Xiaoxiao.

nHe firmly believes that he has to kill her!

nHe will live!

nAt this point, Wang Yeze clenched his fist and rubbed the knife he had hidden in his pocket.

nHe had used Zhou Ming’s identity to ask her to come here.

nHe knew that the relationship between Luo Xiaoxiao and Zhou Ming was not ordinary.

nSince Jiang Ling was dead and the Devil’s Bride was still alive, Luo Xiaoxiao was the biggest target.

nThinking of this, Wang Yeze looked around, and with his other hand on the wall, he planned to wait for the opportunity to act.

nHe couldn’t let go of this opportunity.

n&#k2013;

nZhou Ming stared out of the window, lost in thought. His eyebrows were furrowed together, and his eyes were somewhat empty.

nXiao Chen placed his arms between his legs and watched him from the corner of his eyes.

nHe has always had an inexplicable feeling about Zhou Ming.

nThere is another kind of wisdom in the world called the Da Zhi Ruo Yu, having great wisdom but not showing it.

nZhou Ming may seem a bit inconspicuous in his day-to-day life, but Xiao Chen could see that there was something unfathomable about him.

nXiao Chen’s eyes flickered slightly.

nEven when Zhou Ming asked him that day about the nature of the world, he had an unexplainable feeling that Zhou Ming knew more than he did.

nThinking of this, Xiao Chen carefully probed with his mind, “Su Yan, what is the nature of the world?”

nThere was silence in the air.

nXiao Chen took a deep breath and sighed a little.

nIt turned out that Su Yan couldn’t hear what he was saying inside.

n

n

nHowever, Su Yan, who was silently guarding the side and observing Xiao Chen’s every move, seemed to have sensed something and did not miss any of Xiao Chen’s subtle expressions.

n“Is there something you want to ask me?” Su Yan’s voice was unexplainably compelling.

nXiao Chen had some concerns and could only nod his head slightly.

nSu Yan smiled lightly.

nXiao Chen paused, feeling as if something cold held his hand.

nXiao Chen subconsciously wanted to hide, but his body reacted faster than his brain and relaxed his guard.

nIt was like some kind of mollusk.

nXiao Chen could not help but think so.

nIt held Xiao Chen’s hand in its embrace and then guided his hand directly to grab the pendant hanging around his neck.

nXiao Chen was confused.

n“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

nXiao Chen’s face was a little red.

n“You can talk to me with your mind now.”

nXiao Chen was stunned.

nFor some reason, this scene felt familiar to him.

nIt was as if he had experienced it before.

nSu Yan laughed silently.

nThis necklace……

nIt does not belong to this world, but it belongs to Xiao Chen.

n“What is the nature of the world?” Xiao Chen choked. His fingers kept fondling the pendant, looking a bit confused.

n“This world we live in,” Xiao Chen’s eyes moved around, and he seemed to have an indescribable sense of vulnerability, “Is it real?”

nAre these people around me real?

nXiao Chen closed his eyes.

nSu Yan, could it be real?

nWhen Xiao Chen heard a soft laugh, he was stunned and blinked his eyes several times.

nSomething came to his ear, and the tip of Xiao Chen’s ear felt a bit ticklish and even started to turn red.

n“These, they are all fake.” Su Yan slowly said. “People are fake, animals are fake, and all of it is not real.”

nXiao Chen’s heart sank.

n“But,” Su Yan paused, “the two of us are real, and our experiences are real.”

nXiao Chen took a breath and calmed down.

nIn the next second, something soft came up to his earlobe and kissed it repeatedly.

nXiao Chen shuddered and had the feeling of being electrocuted.

n“My love for you is also true.”

n–

nWang Yeze hid the knife behind his back and walked out with his head down.

nLuo Xiaoxiao was delighted when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps and immediately raised her head with a joyful expression.

nAfter seeing who was coming, her expression tightened, and she took a step back. She squeezed her phone tightly and unconsciously backed into the corner next to her.

n“Ta-da.” The sound of rain hitting the floor.

nWang Yeze’s eyes were fierce, and his right hand squeezed the dagger. With a sudden rush, he lunged directly at Luo Xiaoxiao.

n“Ah!” Luo Xiaoxiao screamed out.

nWang Yeze’s face was hideous. He could be described as fast and vicious, directly grabbing the knife and stabbing her in the chest.

nLuo Xiaoxiao had no way to compete with Wang Yeze, who looked stronger than she was.

nWhat’s more, it happened so suddenly that Luo Xiaoxiao’s legs immediately went weak with fear.

nThe knife plunged into Luo Xiaoxiao’s chest.

nLuo Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened as her body convulsed.

nThe blood directly stained her chest red.

n“Ta-da.” The sound of the pattering rain directly overpowered the sound of her blood dripping on the ground.

nWang Yeze’s hands were shaking.

nHe swallowed, and his Adam’s apple moved.

nHis eyes, which had been wide with shock, wavered.

nBefore he could blink, his pupils contracted as if he had seen something unexpected.

n“Bang, bang, bang.” It sounded like something was beating violently, and it was louder than the sound of rain.

nIt was the sound of a heartbeat.

nWang Yeze’s hand shook, and the knife fell to the ground with a loud “thud” sound.

nHe took a look around.

nHe tried to hold back the waves in his heart.

nLuo Xiaoxiao was gone!

nA person just mysteriously disappeared right in front of his eyes!

n–

nZhou Ming’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly. Then, his face became grim, and his left hand, which was propped up on the bed, fiercely gripped the left part of his chest.

nHe looked down at his chest, with an expression that was somewhat trance-like and confused. His features were scrunched together like he was in pain, but in reality, no wounds could be seen on his body.

n

n

nXiao Chen noticed something was wrong with him and immediately tried to sit up in his chair, but he was gently tapped on the shoulder by an invisible force and was directed to sit back down.

nXiao Chen sat back down after a pause, and he felt someone slowly lean into his ear and gently said.

n“He used his knowledge and wisdom of the world to exchange for Jiang Ling’s death.”

n“And decided to trade his own life for Luo Xiaoxiao’s chance of survival at a critical moment.”

nThis was Zhou Ming’s love and protection for Luo Xiaoxiao.
