Chapter 293 - 293 LOOKING AT HIS CORPSE

293 LOOKING AT HIS CORPSE

Bai Chen looked like he had lost the soul within his body as he witnessed how the other Bai Chen fell to the ground, and immediately, a pool of blood started to surround the lifeless body.

Yes, the other Bai Chen died after he slit his own throat using Wu Jiang. Red blood continued to flow from the injured neck, and in no time, the real Bai Chen met his tragic end in the Forbidden Forest.

Bai Chen who was still standing not far from the lifeless body couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed, and his mouth dropped open as his blue eyes continued to stare at the lifeless figure in disbelief. The figure’s pair of blue eyes were slightly open, but they looked empty because the owner’s soul had left the body.

Not only was the body lying lifeless on the cold ground after losing its soul, but Bai Chen who was still standing on the ground also felt how his body was turning cold after seeing what was happening before his eyes.

He remembered when Bai Lang told him that the original Bai Chen in this world died by suicide, but he didn’t expect that he would see how that man ended his life so tragically.

It was the first time he witnessed how a person ended their life, and that was why his face immediately lost blood as he felt weak all over his body.

“And... why did he say that Wu Jinhai betrayed him?” Bai Chen’s trembling lips suddenly muttered in disbelief.

Since he saw the other figure of Bai Chen in the strange place, Bai Chen only heard two sentences from the man. The first sentence didn’t give him any information since the man in white didn’t even say a name, but the second sentence had a name in it, and he certainly recognized the owner of the name.

Bai Chen wasn’t smart, but he didn’t need a smart brain to analyze the situation. Now, he knew that the original Bai Chen in this world killed himself because of Wu Jinhai. To be precise, the real Bai Chen killed himself after he was betrayed by Wu Jinhai.

.....

But, what kind of betrayal did Wu Jinhai commit that the real Bai Chen decided to end his life so tragically? Was it because Wu Jinhai lied to the man about his identity?

Bai Chen noticed the possibility, but then he shook his head vigorously because he didn’t agree with that theory. “That can’t be the reason,” he once again muttered to himself. “Lies and betrayal are two different things, and I’m pretty sure there was something else that caused Bai Chen to kill himself beside the fact of how Wu Jinhai lied to him by pretending to be Zhu Ge.”

Bai Chen wasn’t brilliant, but his brain managed to conclude that the scene he saw was like a recording of what happened to the real Bai Chen before he transmigrated into this world and used that man’s body to stay alive. The timeline was definitely different from the current timeline, but he was still unsure about one thing even after witnessing what happened to the real Bai Chen.

Thus, he carefully brought his feet to walk closer to the lifeless body on the ground even though he hesitated. Of course, he hesitated because the figure on the ground had the same face and body as him, and it seemed he witnessed how he killed himself just now.

It did look like he was looking at his own corpse, and that was why he felt even more uncomfortable when he finally stopped walking right next to the corpse. He had died once in his previous life, but he didn’t even see his corpse, and that was why he suddenly felt sad when he imagined how his family would feel when they suddenly found his body that day.

But, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to change his fate in his previous life, and that was why he once again shook his head resolutely to shake off thoughts of his family that only made him feel bad.

At this moment, he dared to crouch down right next to the corpse, and he carefully examined the lifeless body. He actually couldn’t stand the sight of that much blood, but oddly enough, he didn’t even smell the disgusting smell of blood, and he assumed that it was because he and the corpse were actually in two different spaces even if they physically seemed close to each other at this time.

Hesitating, Bai Chen finally brought his shaking hand closer to the lifeless Bai Chen, and he tried to touch the face that had turned white after its owner’s loss of enough blood enough to bring him to his death.

As predicted, Bai Chen’s hand couldn’t touch the corpse, and that proved that the two of them were indeed in two different spaces right now. After he concluded that, Bai Chen looked more relaxed as he was sure that he wasn’t actually crouching beside the corpse, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he withdrew his hand from the corpse.

Nonetheless, even if he knew that the two of them were in two different spaces, Bai Chen still felt sad when he saw the lifeless figure. “What kind of betrayal has Wu Jinhai done to you that you even killed yourself just because of him, Bai Chen?” He asked the corpse, but of course, he got no answer from it.

It was still hard to believe that the original Bai Chen even ended his life using Wu Jiang, the treasured sword given by Wu Jinhai. Wu Jiang was not just an ordinary sword because it even had Bai Chen’s Power Crystal on its hilt.

But then Bai Chen who was still crouching next to the corpse realized something when he thought about the sword, and his blue eyes shifted from the corpse to the sword still held by the corpse’s hand.

His blue eyes carefully scanned the sword from blade to hilt, and he finally realized what wasn’t right here. “Where is the Power Crystal in Wu Jiang’s hilt? The crystal should be in the hilt because Wu Jinhai wants to return it to Bai Chen, right?”
