Chapter 30 - There is no future!
When I completely calmed down, the sequence of events of this matter clearly surfaced in my mind. I also finally realized that all my fears stemmed not from what I had seen, but from the unknown. My fear comes from the unknown.
There was also the sorrowful atmosphere that permeated the air.
I stood up and finally remembered how I had gotten here.
However, I was still very confused. It was clearly because I heard Yan Nan's crying that I rushed out of Shen Tuo's room. However, why did I come to such a desolate place?
Outside of Shen Tuo's room is clearly his own yard. Did I forget something? For example, I walked out of the courtyard and then followed a certain direction to come here?
No, that's not right.
In my mind, there isn't even a single memory like that. Although my mind told me that I can't be so arbitrary, I am still prepared to listen to what I have to say. It told me that I did not go through that stage, that my arrival here was just an instant from Shen Tuo's room!
And then …
My memories started to blur, and I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Everything here didn't seem real.
As I tried to remember, I realized that I had just come here from a sea of blood.
However, because it was too dark around me, I was also a bit delirious. I didn't even see the transition zone between these two areas.
Then I wondered again if I hadn't seen the so-called transitional zone, or if it didn't exist at all.
Thinking of this, it was as if a clap of thunder exploded in my mind. In an instant, I completely rejected all the definitions that I had just made.
Standing alone in a field of scarlet, the concrete floor has turned crimson, the ghostfire has turned scarlet, and even I have turned scarlet …
It's not scientific.
Even though I know that everything that happened to me, including what happened to Zhao Xue and Chen Ziyue, could no longer be explained with science, but when it happened to me, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Impossible, it's impossible for me to suddenly appear in this place and experience all these seemingly impossible things by myself, unless …
Unless it was fake! All of this was fake! It was all an illusion!
I looked at the group of ghostfire that was closest to me. Under my gaze, a type of scarlet that was slightly black slowly returned to its original color. Sensing my change, I felt a little happy and hastily extended my hands, only to discover that there was no longer any blood on my hands.
It was still dark, but it was clear in my mind. There was no blood on my body. I stretched out my hand and wiped my face. I had clearly fallen and my face was covered with mud, and that soft mud was clearly soaked with blood. However, there was no blood on my face.
Looking at the ghostfire in front of me, I suddenly had a strange thought. I stretched out my hand and tried to touch it.
However, the moment my fingers touched it, the ghost flame actually jumped up and down a few times before turning into fragments in that instant. It scattered in all directions.
It turned out that the moment I walked out of Shen Tuo's room, I fell into an illusion. Everything that I experienced was fake.
Thinking of this, I should have started, but an indescribable worry filled my heart.
I realized that even though I had seen through all of this, I was still missing the most crucial point — I didn't know how to get out.
Just when I was at my wit's end, a burst of eerie laughter suddenly came from behind me.
This laughter had once left a huge shadow in my heart. Even if I didn't turn into ashes, I would recognize it. At the very least, even with my back facing him, I would be able to immediately recognize that it was Zhao Xue!
I quickly turned around. Sure enough, Zhao Xue was wearing a red dress as she was floating in the air. There was clearly no wind, yet her long sleeves and skirt fluttered in the air. If not for her long, wet hair and ferocious expression, I would have thought that this was just like a mythical movie.
"How is it, Yan Nuo? Do you still want to help Bai Weiwei?"
Zhao Xue didn't waste any time talking to me and immediately stated her stance from a high vantage point.
This was the first time I faced Zhao Xue by myself, so saying that I wasn't afraid was naturally a lie. However, I also knew that even if I was afraid, I would still have my aura.
I did my best to stop my waist as I shouted at Zhao Xue, "Zhao Xue, stop wasting your strength. You clearly know that your death wish has failed. Your goal has been reached!"
As I said this, I wanted to say something, but I realized that Zhao Xue's stiff expression changed. Her eyes turned blood-red, and her blood-red lips also seemed to tremble uncontrollably from her extreme rage.
"Stop it!" I know all about it! But what can I do? I want them dead! As for you, you can either stop or die together! This is my last chance for you. "
"Zhao Xue, you're clearly dead. Why didn't you let go of the past and go reincarnate? You could have a better life in your next life."
"Better? What's better? " Zhao Xue laughed sinisterly once again. "I don't need a better life, I just want them to die! Hahaha!"
"You're crazy! I think you're crazy! Could it be that after killing so many people, your conscience hasn't been reprimanded at all!"
After saying this sentence, I suddenly felt a little regretful. What was I doing, talking so much about my conscience to an evil spirit? The real crazy person is me, right?
Sure enough, Zhao Xue said the same thing as me: "Conscience? From the moment Chen Ziyue killed me, I've long since lost my heart, so where did my conscience come from? Hahaha! "
For a moment I didn't know what to say, but I was conflicted. Should I pretend to submit to him and take the opportunity to find the exit of this illusion, or should I continue to speak ill of her, as I usually did?
The answer was obvious, but the words had already come out, and I couldn't bring myself to speak to her in a moment. At this moment, I wish I could slap myself a few times! I can't believe that I would actually lose my mind at such a crucial moment!]
"Hmph, looks like you're not planning to give up. Fine, Yan Nuo, you can go and accompany your good friend Su Xiao now. Since my wish to die has failed, then I'll just carry a few of you. Hahaha …"
Even before Zhao Xue finished her sentence, her sleeves flew towards me as if they had received an order.
However, fortunately, Zhao Xue was far enough away from me. Although the speed of my sleeves is very fast, I still nimbly dodged her attack.
However, the good news didn't last long. As a weak girl who was powerless, after dodging a few rounds, I unconsciously slowed down because of my physical strength. However, Zhao Xue is not an ordinary person.
Very quickly, Zhao Xue's blood-red sleeves wrapped around my neck.
I felt the sleeve around my neck, as hard as rough wire, and the cool touch was like the slimy vines of a tropical rain forest, both deadly and sickening at the same time.
Zhao Xue brought me into the air bit by bit. It became difficult for me to breathe, and my hands unconsciously held onto the red cloth, trying to make my breathing smoother.
"Zhao Xue, you can't kill me! This is clearly an illusion! This is all just an illusion!"
I expended a great deal of strength, but I still wanted to convince Zhao Xue in my own way, so that I could obtain a chance at survival.
"Heh, I didn't think that you would be this smart. You already know that all of this is an illusion, but you don't know that I'm not an illusion. Not even the thing that's wrapped around your neck right now!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt something contract around my neck. I knew that Zhao Xue was starting to exert her strength. It seemed that he had hardened her heart to kill me!
I finally realized the severity of the problem. I swung my arms and legs wildly and used the last bit of my strength to shout, "Zhao Xue, I'll listen to you. I don't care about this anymore. Cough, cough, let me go. I don't care!"
I secretly rejoiced as I felt my neck loosen up. Unfortunately, Zhao Xue didn't seem to have the intention of completely letting me down. "I didn't mean for you to listen to me, but rather to hand Bai Weiwei over to me."
"Bai Weiwei is at Shen Tuo's home. Go and find her yourself!"
I knew that Zhao Xue couldn't enter Shen Tuo's house, so I purposely said that.
"Humph!" That old man's house is filled with vitality, I don't know what's buried under the house, but I can't even get in! "
I couldn't help but sneer.
Hearing my laughter, Zhao Xue realized that she was fooled by me. He decided not to waste any more words with me. Instead, he exerted his strength and heavily wrapped his arms around my neck.
At the same time, the rest of the fabric that had fallen to one side of her flew towards me, wrapping around my arms and legs, holding me in the air, and I took the shape of a 'big' character.
"Yan Nuo, I never expected you to be so tactless. You're still being stubborn even when you're about to die." Do you know how Chen Ziyue died? Hahaha, this is how I tied her up, then …
Zhao Xue paused for a moment, and with a tug on the sleeve of my left hand, I couldn't help but scream out loud. I felt my arm being torn off as if it were about to be torn off.
I finally understood, before Chen Ziyue died, she actually went through such a painful process!
"Right now, I will first tear off your arm and then your leg. As long as your head remains on you, you will feel this kind of pain, right, future doctor Miss Yan Nuo?"
Speaking up to here, Zhao Xue seemed to have thought of something and smiled evilly. Her blood-red lips were so wide that it seemed as if it was about to reach her ears.
"Oh, I forgot. After today, you won't have a future, hehehe …"
