He was like a child who was wronged but didn't dare to say anything!
Too, too cute!
The moment the adjective appeared in my head, a loud boom resounded in my mind. My face was covered in a layer of indescribably hot lava!
I really admire myself for being so smitten at this time. That monstrous conflict was unexpectedly broken by a casual expression from Sang Ming.
Perhaps it's because I've never seen anything of the world in my short life, but a Nether Realm Royal Family's innocence that was revealed by a little carelessness actually managed to completely remove my struggling emotions!
However, I also know that the reason why I have the heart to be moved here is because I just said that everyone is fine. This is the basic premise; no matter how angry I am, it's only temporary.
I was a little hurt. The joy that I had just shown up in my head disappeared in an instant. I couldn't help but lower my head to the floor …
I don't dare or want to think about all the 'otherwise'. I still have the same request, I don't want my family to be injured, and I don't want Sang Sang's death to be injured.
But what could I do?
Such a vicious circle, and I actually tried to use my own meagre strength to turn the tide, I thought it was wishful thinking.
Unlike the mortal world, the underworld didn't need ethics and morality. Humans were cold and warm-hearted, and even brothers would soften their hearts for a moment when they faced each other with a blade.
Zi Sang An had once said that as long as they were enemies in the Underworld, even father and son wouldn't be able to turn their backs on each other. Furthermore, there were no methods that couldn't be used to win a battle that concerned survival.
This was the Underworld, a place that contained countless evil spirits and souls. Although the royal family was like a god, they were also the most evil gods in the world. They were never kind, never magnanimous, and those who did not belong to them must die.
And Zishan's death was such a "god." What he wanted to compete with his younger brother for was the world's most sinful throne at the top.
Perhaps one day, he will find out that I am his burden, that he will be unable to move forward, that he will not be able to put his life on the line. At that time, will he also kill me?
Would there really be a day like that?
I suddenly stopped, my legs felt like they were filled with lead, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move a bit. Luckily, I was already at the door of Yang Xu's room.
I tried to take a deep breath to suppress my heartbeat and heartbeat. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. Li Ke appeared in front of me, looking a little haggard.
"You're here, think of a way. I can't take it anymore, she doesn't care about me at all."
Li Ke opened the door as he spoke.
When I got to Yang Xu's bedside, Yang Xu gave me a quick glance and then a glance behind me, but apparently she didn't see Zishan's death.
"You saw it? "I killed her," Yang Xu said.
As soon as she finished her sentence, her eyes lit up in anger. Her teeth were so taut that the edge of her cheeks swelled up with force. Blue veins were popping out of her hands that were holding the recording pen.
It seemed that Li Ke had used all his strength just now to not get Yang Xu to speak. It wasn't completely unreasonable that Shen Tuo wanted me to come.
"I see," I said, "but I'm not looking for you for this. No matter what you want to do with Tongtong, I want you to cooperate fully with the Skinner's seal."
"I will." A teardrop fell from the corner of Yang Xu's eyes.
Looking at Li Ke's face filled with anger, I quickly made my tone sound more serious. I said, "Let me ask you, can you summon the Skinner? Last time you waited for me at the entrance of the school and then disappeared and reappeared again, was it the summoning skill that the Skinner used on you, or was it the effect of the transfer skill?"
Yang Xu nodded, "Yes, I can make him appear at any time. As long as I agree, he can make me disappear anytime."
Did this mean that she was only staying here because she didn't want to leave, and not because there were so many guards here?
"If we were to seal her tonight, would you be able to summon her to a designated location?"
"Sure." Yang Xu suddenly paused and said, "Don't you want to ask me why I can summon him?"
"…"
"Tongtong's soul was indeed eaten by the Skinner, but I forced Zhang Yang to give it to him."
I was shocked, and for a long moment I didn't know what expression to make in response to her words.
Tongtong left a ghost in my body, she made me beg for death. A year ago, when I just left home, the skinner who ate Tongtong's evil spirit found me, he said that he can help me prevent my life from suffering so much, but the bargaining chip is for me to force Zhang Yang's soul out of his body.
"Why would he want you to do that?" It was easy for a skinwalker to kill a child. Why did she have to go through Yang Xu's place so painstakingly? Furthermore, he had to agree to a condition of Yang Xu because of this.
"Only someone close to you can force that child's soul out." "That child left a strong obsession on Zhang Yang, the skinwalker cannot forcefully separate the soul, so I can only come. I personally killed my son because I know that Tongtong's soul is about to wake up, if I don't do that, my life in the future will become hell."
But what's the difference between your current life and hell?
"I wandered around like a ghost. When I went back home, Zhang Yang blinked and told me, 'Mom, I tested a lot of little red flowers at kindergarten. Mom, I'm very obedient. Mom, did you come back?"
Hot tears streamed from her eyes. She held up a hand, and her knuckles were white and blue. "I told him yes, my mother was back, I hugged him, and then I stuck the knife in the back of his head. It was my first kill, my son, and I dream now that he was staring at me with his eyes wide open, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and I was just afraid the evil spirits would come back to life. "When I peeled the skin, even my heart was numb. Then I stabbed the awl into his eyes. My hands were full of his blood."
Yang Xu's mood was on the verge of collapse. The overwhelming memories made her unable to speak. Meanwhile, I and Li Ke were completely stupefied as they listened to everything from the side …
"After that Skinner ate the evil spirit inside Zhang Yang's body, I originally wanted to move his corpse to the colourful steel room where I lived, but I couldn't do it. His small body was actually so heavy at that time, I couldn't move it no matter what. After that, I had no choice but to put his corpse in the freezer at home so that he could remain intact in this world."
I felt a chill run down my spine, but in my heart, I was able to understand a little of what Yang Xu was thinking back then.
Everyone was dead, but their bodies were still skin peeling off their bodies. How could this corpse be intact? The only thing left behind was to predict what the steel building would be like in the future, so he didn't want to put Zhang Yang's corpse in it to give birth to maggots.
Later on, the skinwalker told me that he had gathered most of her soul into his body, but there was a part of my body that couldn't be taken out. He would link that part of my soul with his body so that Tongtong could feel that her soul was complete and stable.
Yang Xu's gaze suddenly revealed a loathing he had never seen before. However, after thinking for a bit, he understood why the skinwalker had lied to her.
If Tongtong's soul was really settled like he said, then how could Yang Xu get pregnant for no reason at all?
"But half a month after that Skinner said those words to me, I was pregnant for no reason, and that child can even talk to me in my mind. She said that she is Tongtong, and that she has to fight with those undead for her body every day, and he was very tired. He wanted to go back to me. I was scared at the time, but when I tried summoning the Skinner again, I found out that his dominant soul had already become Tongtong."
"That was when I was most desperate. I pushed the skinwalker into the pond, I stabbed him with a knife, I wanted her to kill me, I'd better skin me, but he didn't, she watched me hysterically from beginning to end, he didn't have any intention of killing me, and when I stabbed the knife into my own heart, he just smiled at me, and she said he had cheated me of something … She swallowed Tongtong's soul, and it was Tongtong who had been looking for me all along! Because half of her soul has already fused with the Skinner, he can't revive on Zhang Yang's body, so he wants to see me kill my own child with my own hands! And then continue torturing me! The nonsense he told me later, what made her feel her soul was more complete, was all just to control me! "
Yang Xu started to laugh sinisterly, "But thanks to her leaving a trace of ghost aura on me, I have gained some strength and can prevent her from being reborn by my side." I've already killed them once, so even if I kill a few more, what can I do? "
When Li Ke heard this, his clenched teeth had loosened and his eyebrows were knitted tightly. "So, you were actually kept in the dark from the beginning?"
Yang Xu nodded, "Yes."
"Then are the things you told us last time, the things that Tongtong said before she died, true?!" I asked.
It wasn't that I didn't believe her, but there were some things that had to be confirmed many times before they could be taken seriously. This case could no longer handle many branches. If a few more were to appear, not to mention sealing it today, even the seal on the Month of Month would leave behind many unexplainable mysteries.
By then, the skinwalker would have already been sealed and his soul would have scattered. Yang Xu would most likely be in trouble. At that time, how could this case be considered finished!
