Chapter 197 Dodder

Xin Que closed her eyes.

After her consciousness crossed the border, Xin Que reopened her eyes inside the puppet.

This time, however, she had a military knife in her hand.

Stepping over the thorns, Xin Que walked up behind the dazed and confused madman. With a sinister look in her eyes, she swiftly plunged her knife into Luo Huayi's neck.

"If you keep going like this, you'll eventually attract the administrator's attention to the Void." Xin Que coldly looked down at the man who had collapsed into her arms, and thrust the general's knife deeper.

"Rather than letting you go crazy and ruin my plans, you might as well just die here!"

The tip of the knife slowly pierced his carotid artery, searching for his core program.

Xin Que did not hesitate for a moment.

She couldn't allow anyone to hinder her plans, so she simply let the out-of-control Luo Huayi be completely destroyed in this deserted place, lest he develop into a stumbling block that threatens her.

Luo Huayi trembled as she raised her hand and gripped the blade in Xin Que's hand.

The blood from the man's mouth flowed more and more, his dull eyes staring straight at Xin Que, his gaze unwavering.

Xin Que saw him vomiting blood continuously, his lips opening and closing as if he were saying something.

She wasn't in the mood to listen to his nonsense.

After dealing with Luo Huayi, this ticking time bomb, she still needs to get back to the new interrogation plan before the administrator notices...

Luo Huayi's faint breath was forced from her throat, which was blocked by blood, to her lips.

“It’s even…” Luo Huayi revealed an extremely ugly smile. His trembling, blood-soaked hands desperately reached out to hug her neck until the blade completely pierced through his entire neck.

Xin Que's pupils suddenly dilated.

Luo Huayi held her back tightly with one hand and reached for the back of her head with the other, then leaned forward and kissed her.

Thorns surged, enveloping the two in the narrow space.

"Xin..." The man trembled as he released her lips. His throat was completely destroyed by the military knife inserted into his neck, and he could not utter a sound.

But his lips, opening and closing, conveyed his meaning with unparalleled clarity.

"Ha..." Drops of blood fell onto Xin Que's face as Luo Huayi pressed her down, swaying precariously.

He groped his way through the crimson before him and cupped Xin Que's face in his hands, pressing his forehead against hers.

"Heh...we're even..." He forced his lips open, making a futile effort that the other couldn't hear, "I killed you once...heh...you killed me once too..."

"Xin Que..."

The man trembled as he slowly pulled the general's knife from his neck and carefully placed it beside her.

"That's it..." His slowly recovering voice gradually produced a hoarse and unpleasant human voice.

Tears mixed with blood fell onto Xin Que's face in a rush. His trembling thumb brushed across the corner of Xin Que's eye. "I don't hate you anymore."

Luo Huayi cupped Xin Que's face in his hands. His emotions, which had been suppressed for so long, were already twisted and morbid, but once the floodgates were opened, they poured out like a torrent, engulfing the only person he wanted to see.

"I don't hate you anymore... I don't hate you anymore..." Luo Huayi forced a smile and hugged Xin Que tightly. His morbid and insane dependence was like a parasitic plant that was about to wither and was thirsting for nutrients, desperately trying to grow and entwine around the host it longed for.

"Xin Que..." Among the various possibilities predicted by Xin Que, he forcibly twisted his madness into the most impossible outcome.

"How have you been all this time?" Luo Huayi's trembling lips, chilled from blood loss, carefully kissed Xin Que. "I'm very strong now, you see..."

"It's absolutely safe here. I can build the city you want... the world you desire..."

“By the way,” a strange excitement flickered in his empty eyes, “I’ve found some information about the world you’re in.”

"Give me time, and I can build a kingdom exactly like Upper City!"

Luo Huayi held her hand to his ear and affectionately rubbed it against her palm. "Don't leave me alone, okay?"

Xin Que lay on her back beneath him, staring intently at Luo Huayi's eyes, which were filled with madness. Her expression was solemn.

“You’re really crazy,” she said.

Luo Huayi clearly didn't want this answer.

He leaned down and kissed Xin Que, "From the day you abandoned me..."

From the moment he was trapped day after day in the inescapable darkness of loneliness,

From the time he was repeatedly tortured and killed by the vengeful King Wu Guan...

He went mad.

But none of that matters.

Luo Huayi slowly released her lips, "Xin Que..."

I will never put myself in a position of being abandoned again.

"Even if I die, I will take you with me..." Luo Huayi stared unblinkingly at the woman beneath him, "You will never abandon me a second time."

A dull, tearing pain shot through my brain once again.

We must immediately return to the interrogation plan.

Xin Que grabbed a military knife and, before Luo Huayi could stop him, decisively stabbed himself in the neck.

In the end, all that fell into Luo Huayi's arms was a lifeless doll.

Luo Huayi released his strength, hunched his back, and gently stroked the back of the doll's neck with his large hand.

He had just caught a whiff of a scent that didn't belong to Xin Que when she possessed him.

Xin Que did not have the habit of using perfume.

How did the scent of cologne end up on her?

It can leave a scent on a woman's hair and neck...

Who is it?

What exactly happened to Xin Que after she left this place?

The man stood up, letting the lifeless doll fall to the ground, and looked up at the boundless nothingness that enveloped the ruined city.

...

When I opened my eyes, it was still dark.

The cramped carriage space came into view, and the swaying bed beneath her as the train moved gradually brought Xin Que back to her senses.

Hearing the commotion, Ying Yun got up and sat down on the edge of her bed, asking sleepily, "What's wrong...did you have another nightmare?"

Xin Que pinched the bridge of her nose.

In this interrogation plan, he should indeed be haunted by the nightmare of being hunted down by the Xu family, living in constant fear and unable to sleep.

Ying Yun pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back, "We'll be in the next country soon, don't worry..."

“You haven’t been sleeping well these past few days,” Ying Yun said, gently rubbing her temples to try and ease her pain. “Xin Que, this can’t go on.”

"You'll ruin your health."

“I know… but I can’t control my brain,” Xin Que slowly pushed Ying Yun away, her face exhausted. “It’s okay.”

"Let's talk about it when it's safe."

Ying Yun fell silent. He carefully rummaged through his bag and pulled out a small sleep aid supplement, asking her, "Would you like to drink this?"

Xin Que pressed his hand down, "Don't worry about me, go and rest... Relying on medication to fall asleep isn't a solution."

She raised her hand and patted Ying Yun's shoulder to reassure him, her voice softening, "I can sleep, don't worry."

As soon as Ying Yun lay back down on his bed, Xin Que's smile vanished.

Her expression darkened as she recalled her entanglement with Luo Huayi in the void.

Xin Que sensed a kindred spirit in the out-of-control Luo Huayi.

Despite its twisted state, one can still vaguely discern a trace of Xin Que's fighting style.

The fact that Luo Huayi's protagonist aura of unlimited resurrection was not cleared or deleted by the administrator means that there is now another extremely dangerous threat on her path.

The escape process needs to be expedited.
