Chapter 346

Lin Zaozao had always known about that Sacrificial Drawing that could open space and time.

It required sacrificing the lives of those with the strongest fate in this world to open the gates of space and time.

But the people with the strongest fate in this world were right by her side - all her closest friends and family. How could she possibly sacrifice their lives to return home?

These loved ones she protected with her life - how, how could they be treated as sacrificial offerings by others?

Lin Zaozao opened and closed her mouth. She was in agony, grief-stricken, heartbroken to the point of death. Yet not a sound could escape her lips.

Her mouth opened and closed several times, but she could only sit helplessly in the Sacrificial Drawing formed by corpses.

"Zhuzhu..."

"Zaozao..."

"Elder Sister..."

Hearing these faint voices, Lin Zaozao quickly turned her head to see Han Ye, Han Xibei, and Xi Luo lying in pools of blood.

They weren't dead yet!

Lin Zaozao crawled over to Han Ye, Han Xibei, and Xi Luo, using what little strength she had left to tightly grasp their hands.

She dared not let go, fearing that if she did, her remaining family would die.

"Zhuzhu, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," said Han Ye, lying in the pool of blood. He wanted to raise his hand, but severely wounded as he was, he couldn't lift it at all.

He saw the bloody tears at the corners of Lin Zaozao's eyes. Though in pain, he was helpless to do anything.

"Zaozao, it was a man in red clothes. He took Ye Hui and Qian Xue and vanished into thin air."

"Little Xibei, don't die. Wait for me, my medical skills are good, I can save you. Really, I beg you. I really can save you."

"Don't... don't try to save me. Zaozao, I like you."

Lin Zaozao reached out to wipe the blood that kept flowing from Han Xibei's mouth. She wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Elder Sister!"

"Luo Luo, I'm here! Luo Luo..."

Lin Zaozao crawled over to Xi Luo's side. Seeing his body covered in blood, her eyes instantly filled with bloody tears.

"How could it not be? They all died, and you were at the end of your rope. What could you possibly change?"

The man in red clothes wrenched his hand free from Lin Zaozao's grip and spoke with hatred.

"The scene you showed me was fast-forwarded. I think you must have skipped over parts that were unfavorable to you.

More importantly, how come some of the events in the scene you showed don't match up with what happened after I transmigrated?"

"Of course they don't match up. Because Han Ye and Han Xibei and the others, they all..."

Before the man in red could finish speaking, he was enveloped by a transparent barrier and disappeared from Lin Zaozao's sight.

"Elder Sister, Elder Sister, wake up quickly, Elder Sister!"

Hearing the anxious calls, Lin Zaozao slowly opened her eyes. When she did, she saw Xi Luo's worried gaze.

Lin Zaozao stared at Xi Luo's lively face, momentarily stunned. She hadn't yet fully emerged from the scene the System had shown her.

In the final moments of that scene, Xi Luo had been lying before her, covered in blood, losing his life and becoming a senseless corpse.

"Elder Sister, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xi Luo helped Lin Zaozao sit up and asked anxiously.

"Luo Luo, am I in the dream world you all created right now?"

Lin Zaozao's sudden question startled Xi Luo. When he met her determined gaze, he wanted to evade but didn't know how to answer.

"Luo Luo, just now, a man in red clothes calling himself the System forcefully made me watch what would happen in my life."

"Impossible, didn't I seal him away? How did he get out?"

"Luo Luo..."

Faced with Lin Zaozao's shocked expression, Xi Luo realized he had let something slip in his haste.

"Luo Luo, tell me, where exactly is this place? Am I in reality or in a dream?

And the scene that red-clothed man showed me, was it real or fake?

At the end of the scene, except for Gu Shan, all of you were killed by that System. Were the events in that scene real?"

"El-Elder Sister..."
