Come with me
However, in the end, Mu Yu's hand still landed less than 5 cm away from my face.
Just for a while, it made my face hurt.
Mu Yu stared at me for a long time before finally accepting her fate.
He sat on the edge of the bed with his hands under his chin, looking angry.
"Why do you think I placed such a big bet on you!?" Why do I feel like you can topple Mu Xuenan! Am I blind? "
I wanted to say yes, but I couldn't bring myself to.
It's rare for someone to trust me so much, but I didn't help her in the end. Isn't this letting her down?
I leaned back a little and leaned against the headboard.
The room was silent for a moment.
Mu Yu looked at the floor and I looked at Mu Yu.
At first it was all right, but we were both too preoccupied to talk.
However, after a while, the atmosphere became very awkward.
Mu Yu, on the other hand, would rather remain in such an awkward position than leave.
In the end, it would have to be me.
I looked at the side of Mu Yu's face and asked him, "Since you and Mu Xuenan are sisters, why do you have such a deep grudge? Shouldn't the two girls help each other out?"
Mu Yu snorted, her eyes instantly turning cold. "Help, you've already been made into this by her, can't you tell? She is someone who would use any means possible to achieve her goals, and she can even live in seclusion for nearly a thousand years for a single thing.
The thousand years of hibernation she was talking about should be the time when she took the initiative to turn the mirror upside down. However, for the sake of her feelings, this hibernation might not be a wrong thing for a woman who had a goal.
I don't know what's going on in my head either, but after Mu Yu said those words just now, she actually spoke up for Mu Xue Nan.
And then I kind of wanted to slap myself.
Mu Yu fiercely glared at me and said, "I see that you have been bullied by her to the point of foolishness. You even spoke up for her."
He pulled out a piece of paper and tossed it into my hand.
I picked it up and looked at it. Without opening it, I asked, "What is this?"
Of course, I had my guard up even though I didn't open it. What if there was something inside that I didn't want to see?
Too many things had happened in this jungle I didn't want to see or hear. I didn't want to hear things I didn't want to know.
Mu Yu wasn't angry because of my guard, but instead had a trace of praise in her eyes, "Say, if you have been so prepared this entire time, how could you be suppressed by Mu Xuenan this way? I really don't know what you are thinking. Something that should be guarded against and should not be guarded against, being so cautious. Open it, it's not dangerous. "
I frowned and hesitated for a moment. In the end, I opened the paper under Mu Yu's gaze.
Words are not the language of the mortal world, nor are they from a book, but it is strange that I should be able to understand them.
The three bold characters at the top of the "Contract" surprised me, "What do you mean?"
Not for me?
Could it be that Mu Yu wants to use some tricks against me?
I quietly looked at Mu Yu, but was met with Mu Yu's glare and said, "Continue watching! Why are you always on guard against me? Look at you, what else can I do to you? "
Hearing those words, my face reddened, as though those words were true.
I continued to read.
The contents of the contract were simple, it meant that Mu Yu had to listen to Mu Xue Nan's words and not kill anyone in the meat forest. Otherwise, she would be hunted down by the entire meat forest, and even if she died, she would become a vengeful spirit of the evil spirits, imprisoned in the meat forest forever.
It seemed to be a restriction that was the same as a rule of law. It was very simple.
I looked at Mu Yu, a little confused. "Do sisters still need this sort of thing to restrain each other?"
Mu Yu's voice suddenly became louder, "Look at that. It's clear that they are mutually binding. That's my indenture contract! "
I was a little confused, "Isn't it written that as long as you can't kill, you can? Why is it an indenture contract? "
Mu Yu's eyes suddenly became cloudy, "Do you think that I came here on my own? What kind of place is this meat forest, the famous place for fireworks in the Underworld? Why would I come here? She, Mu Xuenan, came for a man. Why did I come? I was forced here by her! She placed a parasite on my body and told me to ask King Nether for orders when I was unconscious, saying that I would guard the meat forest together with her! "
I didn't think that there would be so many things.
Mu Yu continued, "Seeing that there is someone willing to go, Old King Ming naturally agreed happily and obtained his approval right away. After that, we came here together. "
At that time, I knew why she wanted me to come with her, because there was a very strange power in the seed, all the people in the Underworld could not use magic here, but we were different, we were the blood pool's Lotte, we were born with a different body compared to the people in the Underworld, so we were also different here. I became her henchman and helped her suppress all the rebel forces here, haha, at that time I thought I could just leave like this, but she also used my blood to write this contract while I was sleeping, making me stay in the forest forever, serving her life.
"It doesn't say that you can't leave, just that you can't kill people …"
At the end of my words, I immediately realized where the hidden meaning of the contract was. My voice unconsciously quieted down. I can't kill myself here?
Back then, the Meat Forest relied on Mu Yu and Mu Xue Nan's power to suppress them down, but these people were definitely not killed. Otherwise, this courtyard wouldn't have so many people. However, since they couldn't defeat these two people, they could only restrain their intentions. Now that Mu Yu had the restriction of this contract, they could naturally borrow the loophole in the contract and sacrifice a person when Mu Yu was about to leave. Using all sorts of methods, he could die under Mu Yu's sword and with this, they would have a justifiable reason to kill Mu Yu.
Not only that, the last clause of the contract also stated that even if Mu Yu died and became a ghost, she could only stay in the meat forest.
This contract was really vicious.
I silently looked at Mu Yu, my heart aching.
He picked up a handkerchief from beside the pillow and handed it to her. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.
No wonder Mu Yu had always wanted me to clash with Mu Xuannan at her starting point, and it would even be best if I could kill her. That way, the contract would be ineffective, and she would be able to regain her freedom.
Looking at the ground, he continued to speak faintly: "Not only does Mu Xue Nan not want me to leave, she also wants me to transform into her appearance and serve the guards of Ah Yin Hell. Do you know what it feels like to be tortured to the point of not being able to beg for death?"
As she finished speaking, a drop of bright red blood dripped onto the floor. Mu Yu's mouth had been bitten into pieces.
"Don't blame me for using you. I really want to get out."
I know.
With the handkerchief already dyed red with blood, Mu Yu sat on the side of the bed for another two hours.
She was thinking of sadness I didn't know, and I was thinking about her and my future.
"Mu Yu, why don't you come with me?"
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but say it out loud.
It scared me, but it also scared Mu Yu.
"You, what did you say?"
I paused. Since I had already said it, there was no point in taking it back.
Two fugitives might be able to survive in this place.
I repeated, "Come with me."
Mu Yu stared at me. "Do you know what your words mean?"
"It means that it is possible that both of us will die at the hands of Mu Xuannan. Either I will implicate you, or you will implicate me."
"Then do you want me to die with you?"
I didn't answer her question. I just asked her, "Would you like to come with me?"
After a long while, my blanket had been pinched into a beast shape by Mu Yu. She replied, "Alright."
Actually, before receiving Mu Yu's confirmation, I wasn't sure if she would follow me.
Just thinking about how pitiful she was being here all the time, and how lonely she would be if she were to die alone.
"Have you lived this long?"
The two of them looked out the window at the flickering lights and the dazed figures outside.
The fugitive discussed a few words of fear and lack of substance.
Mu Yu replied, "Of course I'm afraid. If I die, I'll have to stay in the meat forest forever."
"Then you still have to come with me."
She smiled. "Because I still want to bet on you."
I asked back, "What do we bet?"
Mu Yu stood up and walked to the door to look at the room diagonally across them, not saying a word.
I could hear the faint moan coming from inside.
Not even five minutes after Zi Sang Ming and Mu XueNan left, the voice sounded out. Even now, half the night had passed, and the voice was still low and unsteady.
Actually, when I was speaking to Mu Yu, I had always been listening with a hint of my mind, as if I was torturing myself.
However, I still didn't quite understand what Mu Yu meant.
What was she betting on?
One of us, pale and lifeless in bed, turned from time to time on the floor and fidgeted for a while.
Finally, the long night approached dawn.
A figure suddenly appeared outside of the door. Mu Yu immediately held her breath and retreated a few steps in an incantation gesture before concealing her body.
That person didn't have any intention of entering. He only stood at the door and pointed at me. Following that, a small bug flew in, causing Mu Yu and I to simultaneously shake. I couldn't move as I lay on the bed covered in cold sweat. However, the barrier had already been broken by Mu Yu.
While I was still in a daze, Mu Yu reacted quickly and placed a seal on me before the little bug landed on me. Afterwards, the little bug landed on my body and bit my wrist, causing the barrier Mu Yu just added to disappear.
A fine sheen of sweat appeared on my palms.
With one more person to walk with us, the pressure and desire to survive is indeed something that one doesn't have. Perhaps we might actually be able to leave the meat forest.
After the bugs flew away, the person at the door knocked on the door. I quickly turned my blanket and replied, "Who is it?"
The man made a downward gesture, and then she crouched down and a slip of paper slipped through the crack.
It should be the map that Mu Xuenan gave me.
The person that Mu Xuenan sent to deliver the goods waited until I took the note and made a hand gesture for her in the room before leaving.
Mu Yu's figure reappeared and she looked at me before looking at the piece of paper. Her brows tightly knitted together as she said, "We have to make a good plan."
