Chapter 59 – Devil Exchange

Translator: Yuzu

It had been raining for more than twelve hours, but the rain continued unabated. The water on the ground was almost over the threshold, almost up to one’s ankles.

Wang Yeze’s face was grim, and his entire body was hidden behind the corner wall.

Half of his face was exposed, his eyes were bloodshot, and under them were all black and blue. Upon closer examination of his face, it was clear that his face was a bit pale, and even his breathing was a bit short.

Wang Yeze’s condition can be described as very much like a patient who can only survive on oxygen provided by an oxygen tank.

Wang Yeze’s eyes landed on Luo Xiaoxiao’s body.

Luo Xiaoxiao had her back to him and was dressed neatly. She held her cell phone in both hands as if waiting for a reply from someone.

The distance between the two of them was not too close, but definitely not too far.

Wang Yeze’s face was hideous.

He was in a very critical situation.

He could clearly feel that his health was deteriorating. He even went to the hospital for a full body checkup, but the results showed that he was in perfect health.

He was lucky, but as he watched his body crumble little by little, he didn’t understand what was going on.

The feeling was subtle, as if something unavoidable was warning him to act quickly, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.

This feeling of clearly feeling the passing of life made him increasingly anxious and unable to calm down.

The most unbearable thing was that he tried to contact the system for an explanation and help.

But it had been going on for days! He couldn’t summon the system at all! It’s as if the system never existed!

If it weren’t for the fact that his memories couldn’t be faked, he would have wondered if the existence of the system was a dream!

It disappeared too cleanly! There was no shadow, no trace of it.

And the more reality set in, the more restless he felt.

So now, in his desperation, he has completely pinned his hopes on Luo Xiaoxiao.

Now, the only thing that keeps him alive is the belief that he should kill Luo Xiaoxiao.

He firmly believes that he has to kill her!

He will live!

At this point, Wang Yeze clenched his fist and rubbed the knife he had hidden in his pocket.

He had used Zhou Ming’s identity to ask her to come here.

He knew that the relationship between Luo Xiaoxiao and Zhou Ming was not ordinary.

Since Jiang Ling was dead and the Devil’s Bride was still alive, Luo Xiaoxiao was the biggest target.

Thinking of this, Wang Yeze looked around, and with his other hand on the wall, he planned to wait for the opportunity to act.

He couldn’t let go of this opportunity.

Zhou Ming stared out of the window, lost in thought. His eyebrows were furrowed together, and his eyes were somewhat empty.

Xiao Chen placed his arms between his legs and watched him from the corner of his eyes.

He has always had an inexplicable feeling about Zhou Ming.

There is another kind of wisdom in the world called the Da Zhi Ruo Yu, having great wisdom but not showing it.

Zhou Ming may seem a bit inconspicuous in his day-to-day life, but Xiao Chen could see that there was something unfathomable about him.

Xiao Chen’s eyes flickered slightly.

Even when Zhou Ming asked him that day about the nature of the world, he had an unexplainable feeling that Zhou Ming knew more than he did.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen carefully probed with his mind, “Su Yan, what is the nature of the world?”

There was silence in the air.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and sighed a little.

It turned out that Su Yan couldn’t hear what he was saying inside.

However, Su Yan, who was silently guarding the side and observing Xiao Chen’s every move, seemed to have sensed something and did not miss any of Xiao Chen’s subtle expressions.

“Is there something you want to ask me?” Su Yan’s voice was unexplainably compelling.

Xiao Chen had some concerns and could only nod his head slightly.

Su Yan smiled lightly.

Xiao Chen paused, feeling as if something cold held his hand.

Xiao Chen subconsciously wanted to hide, but his body reacted faster than his brain and relaxed his guard.

It was like some kind of mollusk.

Xiao Chen could not help but think so.

It held Xiao Chen’s hand in its embrace and then guided his hand directly to grab the pendant hanging around his neck.

Xiao Chen was confused.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Xiao Chen’s face was a little red.

“You can talk to me with your mind now.”

Xiao Chen was stunned.

For some reason, this scene felt familiar to him.

It was as if he had experienced it before.

Su Yan laughed silently.

This necklace……

It does not belong to this world, but it belongs to Xiao Chen.

“What is the nature of the world?” Xiao Chen choked. His fingers kept fondling the pendant, looking a bit confused.

“This world we live in,” Xiao Chen’s eyes moved around, and he seemed to have an indescribable sense of vulnerability, “Is it real?”

Are these people around me real?

Xiao Chen closed his eyes.

Su Yan, could it be real?

When Xiao Chen heard a soft laugh, he was stunned and blinked his eyes several times.

Something came to his ear, and the tip of Xiao Chen’s ear felt a bit ticklish and even started to turn red.

“These, they are all fake.” Su Yan slowly said. “People are fake, animals are fake, and all of it is not real.”

Xiao Chen’s heart sank.

“But,” Su Yan paused, “the two of us are real, and our experiences are real.”

Xiao Chen took a breath and calmed down.

In the next second, something soft came up to his earlobe and kissed it repeatedly.

Xiao Chen shuddered and had the feeling of being electrocuted.

“My love for you is also true.”

Wang Yeze hid the knife behind his back and walked out with his head down.

Luo Xiaoxiao was delighted when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps and immediately raised her head with a joyful expression.

After seeing who was coming, her expression tightened, and she took a step back. She squeezed her phone tightly and unconsciously backed into the corner next to her.

“Ta-da.” The sound of rain hitting the floor.

Wang Yeze’s eyes were fierce, and his right hand squeezed the dagger. With a sudden rush, he lunged directly at Luo Xiaoxiao.

“Ah!” Luo Xiaoxiao screamed out.

Wang Yeze’s face was hideous. He could be described as fast and vicious, directly grabbing the knife and stabbing her in the chest.

Luo Xiaoxiao had no way to compete with Wang Yeze, who looked stronger than she was.

What’s more, it happened so suddenly that Luo Xiaoxiao’s legs immediately went weak with fear.

The knife plunged into Luo Xiaoxiao’s chest.

Luo Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened as her body convulsed.

The blood directly stained her chest red.

“Ta-da.” The sound of the pattering rain directly overpowered the sound of her blood dripping on the ground.

Wang Yeze’s hands were shaking.

He swallowed, and his Adam’s apple moved.

His eyes, which had been wide with shock, wavered.

Before he could blink, his pupils contracted as if he had seen something unexpected.

“Bang, bang, bang.” It sounded like something was beating violently, and it was louder than the sound of rain.

It was the sound of a heartbeat.

Wang Yeze’s hand shook, and the knife fell to the ground with a loud “thud” sound.

He took a look around.

He tried to hold back the waves in his heart.

Luo Xiaoxiao was gone!

A person just mysteriously disappeared right in front of his eyes!

–

Zhou Ming’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly. Then, his face became grim, and his left hand, which was propped up on the bed, fiercely gripped the left part of his chest.

He looked down at his chest, with an expression that was somewhat trance-like and confused. His features were scrunched together like he was in pain, but in reality, no wounds could be seen on his body.

Xiao Chen noticed something was wrong with him and immediately tried to sit up in his chair, but he was gently tapped on the shoulder by an invisible force and was directed to sit back down.

Xiao Chen sat back down after a pause, and he felt someone slowly lean into his ear and gently said.

“He used his knowledge and wisdom of the world to exchange for Jiang Ling’s death.”

“And decided to trade his own life for Luo Xiaoxiao’s chance of survival at a critical moment.”

This was Zhou Ming’s love and protection for Luo Xiaoxiao.
