The fluttering lanterns had already been dyed bright red by the blood, as if they were coated with a layer of dark red rouge. Yuzhou City was in an uproar. The girls stumbled and screamed as they ran under the bridge while holding onto their skirts. The old archway stood in the silver moonlight, watching the farce with cold eyes.
"The assassin has already fled to the other side. Chang Ning Lane is relatively safe. "Let's go there." Han Yu's slender fingers pointed towards an old memorial archway in the distance. He had obviously done his homework for the feast of absolute bliss.
Luo Lingwei was not familiar with the terrain, so she did not say anything as she looked at Zhuang Zhiqiang. Compared to the unclear meaning behind Han Yu's words, the person who didn't reveal the slightest trace of hostility from the start was actually a very comforting person.
The young man didn't comment, but instead moved towards the direction that Han Yu had pointed.
Luo Lingwei followed the stream of people and followed the silent master. Her heart inexplicably recalled the play she had seen.
He saw him rise from the tall building, saw him feast his guests, saw his building collapse.
"So the feast of absolute bliss started like this? What exactly is the so-called Delightful Meet? "
What was bliss? Blood? Slaughter? Or was it the pleasure of a hunter controlling the overall situation?
Han Yu smiled as he heard this. He raised his head to look at the sky, then turned his head to face the north.
"It seems like Miss Luo doesn't know about the feast of absolute bliss."
Her face was covered by a white veil. Her eyes quietly gazed at the struggling crowd of assassins on the cruise liner. Her bright eyes reflected the fiery light. Luo Lingwei followed his gaze and blurted out a surprised exclamation.
She saw a servant girl at a banquet who was being submissive in front of her master holding a golden hairpin and stabbing Miss Dai Yu, dressed in gold, to death in the cold and desolate river water. On the other side of the boat, the singing lady on the boat was on a rampage. The singer was only wearing a thin veil that covered her entire body. She was holding the soft cloth that the manservant was supporting with his back.
When the maidservant pushed the young miss down, she was still carrying the Jade Bracelet that the main family had bestowed upon her.
"Feast of bliss... Is it all based on unbridled recklessness? "
"Look, this is the so-called human heart." The corner of Han Yu's mouth curved into a cold smile. "Those people are sitting on top of the building and watching this farce."
"This is also an extremely enjoyable banquet. There is no limits and no favors. Even the temperature is an illusion. "
For those who believed in righteousness and light, this was an absurd purgatory, but for those who sought to stimulate the powers of those who ignored the law — this was their greatest pleasure.
Luo Lingwei did not understand. Why did the King's Game suddenly become so absurd?
Han Yu explained, "Every year, there will be a new style for the feast of absolute bliss. I'm sure Miss Luo doesn't know everything about it."
The feast of bliss is full of murderous intent, and a wrong man is a dead end. Rather than a banquet, it is a carnival of animals in human skins releasing their natural energies, a hell of blood, slaughter, and obscenity.
He casually ripped open the layer of green on the surface of his robe, revealing the redness concealed within. The red robe was completely different from the green robe from before. The bright and soft fabric was embroidered with golden threads and silver threads like a phoenix that was about to fly away. The phoenix's eyes were huge, bright pearl wings dotted with bits and pieces of bright jade.
It was as if he was born like this.
When Luo Lingwei saw him change into a new set of clothes, she felt uneasy in her heart.
"You … Right now, it's a mess. It's best to keep a low profile. " Wasn't this a live target for others?
Han Yu raised his eyebrows as he saw her staring at his robe and burst into laughter. "No need, because I'm the same as them to begin with."
His impenetrable face looked especially grim in the cold moonlight. He was dressed in red, as if he was reluctant to leave this world … Fierce Demon.
"?!" Luo Lingwei felt the hairs on her body standing on end.
Based on her many years of experience in all kinds of TV dramas, Han Yu is most likely someone with a story.
The situation in front of him had suddenly become unfathomable. Ye Lianhe was no longer by her side, so she did not dare to act rashly.
Luo Lingwei swallowed her saliva and quickly changed the topic, trembling with fear: "The whole of Yuzhou City is so unrestrained, can't you hear the imperial family?"
She leaned on the puppet and laughed until her branches trembled, feeling that this young wangfei was truly adorable and innocent.
She approached Luo Lingwei's slender neck and let out a cold sigh. "This was specially approved by the late emperor."
When the Xuan Dynasty was first established, it did not consider the fence-like aristocratic families from before. It relied on the aristocratic families to grow up from a weak child into a man that could support the heavens and the earth. And when the children grew up, their first thought was actually to kill the father that raised it.
As a biological father, the established family was determined to teach the child who still had some talent a lesson. Therefore, with the help of the City Lord of Yuzhou and the Jianghu Alliance, they had successfully coerced the royal family into restraining their thoughts by using the Night Bright Flowing Gold Dining Banquet as a warning.
The late emperor feared that the aristocratic families would ignore the laws and opt to compromise under such a strong power. Therefore, he suppressed the matter and specially approved Yuzhou City as the meeting location for every night's gold flowing banquet.
This was the origin of the golden feast of the Night Illumination, and the banquet of absolute bliss was where the soul of the entire banquet resided.
Luo Lingwei felt a chill run down her spine. This was a power that even the royal family couldn't fight against. How terrifying would that be …
She had always thought that Nighteyes, the regent, was doing things with ease and aloofness. Who would have thought that there were still so many hidden dangers behind his back?
"Is there no safe place in Yuzhou right from the beginning of the game?"
"Yes, and no." Han Yu quickly pulled out a fan from her sleeve, threw it towards the distance, and then came back soaked in blood. The speed of his movement was so fast that Luo Lingwei could only hear the sound of a head snoring as it slowly rolled into the river.
He had only used a fan to cut off a person's neck!
Han Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped away the blood on his fan in disgust. He indifferently replied, "In fact, once the night banquet starts, no one will be able to stay out of it." If we are to be in a safe zone that the assassins do not cross in time, then we will inevitably fall into a trap. "
Luo Lingwei did not have the time to care about scheming or not. The most important thing was to escape from this hunting mission.
Besides, he couldn't just stay at the bridge as a live target and wait for someone to kill him.
She didn't say anything as she quietly waited for Han Yu. Han Yu was in no hurry to clean up the fan before taking the time to glance at Luo Lingwei.
"Chang Ning Lane, the safe zone for this year's banquet." He seemed to recall the relationship between Ye Lianhe and Luo Lingwei and added, "Ye Lianhe might also be there."
"Is that so?" Luo Lingwei was a little disbelieving. Ye Lianhe had never told her about the existence of the safe zone. Moreover, from Ye Lianhe's performance, she didn't seem to have a good relationship with this Prince Xu An, King Yu.
Where could Han Yu have stepped on Ye Lianhe's tracks?
Han Yu coldly snorted, turned her head and asked, "This year's banquet of absolute joy, which faction is it?"
It had been a long while since she had last spoken, but her voice was a little hoarse. "Dugu Qian Huan."
