The moment Ye Hong died, Qiao He's vision went completely dark; she could see nothing and sense nothing.
All she knew was that Ye Hong was truly dead.
No one knows how Qiao He killed Ye Hong, and perhaps even Ye Hong himself doesn't know how he died.
The time-based ability was so powerful that after Qiao He used it, her already strained body was now in even worse shape.
She's almost dying.
I can't hold on any longer.
No matter what sounds came from her surroundings, Qiao He felt as if she had fallen into the deep sea, tightly enveloped by a thick sea of darkness. The light was fading away, and the cubs' anxious voices were gradually becoming inaudible.
Those were the sounds of kittens, the panicked and helpless voices of Bo Shiwu, and the desperate, collapsing screams of Shen Huai—
Bai Tiantian's trembling voice and Wang Chengye's regretful shouts.
They were all calling her name.
But by this time, Qiao He could no longer hear.
Blood was flowing continuously from her seven orifices, a truly horrifying sight.
Qiao He felt as if his internal organs were melting, and he seemed to feel his heart rupture.
At that moment, it wasn't as painful as she had imagined; Qiao He knew it was probably the adrenaline that was acting up. So this is what it feels like to be dying. Perhaps her mother-in-law didn't suffer so much when she died?
Qiao He felt a little relieved; she had avenged Lin Qiao.
They killed Qiao Yuan, Qiao Yimu, and Ye Hong.
With these three people dead, Qiao He felt much more at ease.
The only thing she can't let go of right now is her kittens. They're really worried about her, just like she used to worry about them. Now that something's happened to her, they'll be incredibly sad and heartbroken.
The little ones already have the ability to protect themselves, so she's not too worried about them not being able to survive in the apocalypse.
Moreover, with Shen Huai and Bo Shiwu around, the children will definitely be alright.
However, she still had so much to say.
Qiao He didn't want to die.
She hadn't said goodbye to the children yet, hadn't had a proper heart-to-heart talk with Bo Shiwu, and hadn't apologized to Shen Huai. Second Brother, when you go back, you must slowly tell Big Brother and Sister, otherwise they will be heartbroken…
She has not yet met her biological parents.
Qiao He didn't know what they looked like, what their personalities were, or whether they were doing well now.
If I find out she tore it up in the future, will I feel a little sad?
Even if it's just a tiny bit...
The moment the light completely disappeared, Qiao He heard the mechanical voice of the "Playing it Off" system suddenly ring out: "Host, the azure substance in Ye Hong's body has been absorbed by me."
"you……"
Before Qiao He could finish listening to the system's words, she was plunged into complete darkness.
Qiao He thought, she must be dead.
Otherwise, how could she find a path in the long darkness, a path that shone with light? She didn't know how long she walked, but suddenly she found herself with a God's-eye view.
She saw her own corpse.
It's awful, absolutely horrific.
Qiao He couldn't even comment, nor could she bear to look at him any longer. It was simply too horribly tragic; his entire body was covered in bright red blood. She only now realized that a person's body contained so much blood.
There was nothing they could do; her body was currently being carried on Bo Shiwu's back.
Everyone was in a very low mood, and the atmosphere had become extremely oppressive.
No one spoke. The children's eyes were all red, clearly they had been crying, and crying very badly.
Qiao He felt a sharp pain in her heart. She was stunned for a moment, not expecting that she would still feel pain even with a god-like perspective.
At that moment, the system suddenly said, "Host, you've finally woken up."
Qiao He: "??????"
"No, Tongzi, how can you still talk to me? So, am I alive or dead?" Qiao He was completely shocked. She hurriedly asked, "Oh right, right, that Ye Hong should be dead by now, right? Don't let him slip away."
The "Playing it Off" system said calmly, "Dead, utterly dead."
"As for you, do you think you're dead or alive?" the system asked her instead.
Qiao He thought for a moment, then said with a hint of disappointment, "I guess they're dead. I can sense it. If I speak now, they definitely won't hear me."
"And judging from everyone's expressions, I must be dead by now, completely dead." As Qiao He spoke, her heart began to ache.
He actually died just like that.
Will Thin Fog be very sad?
My second brother seems to have cried too; his eyes are swollen like walnuts.
The children all followed behind Bo Shiwu, looking dejected. Qiao Hua, in particular, seemed to have fainted from crying. Qiao He's heart felt like it was being torn apart.
Huahua will definitely blame herself, blaming herself for not having the ability to revive. If she could revive her, Qiao He wouldn't be dead now.
Qiao He's eyes reddened, and she sniffed: "System, do you have any way to let me say something to them, just... say my last words?"
The "Resignation System" said, "There's no way to do it for now, but you can try to communicate with them after I've accumulated enough energy."
Qiao He was slightly surprised: "How do we communicate?"
"You'll know when the time comes through external means," the system whispered.
Qiao Heshu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's the system. So I'm in ghost form now?"
System: "You can think of it that way, but that's just your opinion. Scientifically speaking, you are currently in the form of a consciousness body. Logically, your consciousness should dissipate instantly at the moment of death, but I protected your consciousness body, so you are still you, only your consciousness cannot return to your body for the time being."
Qiao He was puzzled but impressed. "Is that so? No wonder the system said that you and I are one, and that if I die, you will die too. I thought you were lying to me."
The system was embarrassed: "How could you think that? What I said is true."
"Host, it's fortunate that you obtained Ye Hong's huge piece of dark blue substance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to protect your consciousness. You could say that this time you killed Ye Hong because of perfect timing, location, and people," the system continued.
“If you kill Ye Hong with all your might right now, but fail to obtain the azure substance from the iceberg, you and I will definitely die a terrible death.”
Hearing the system say this, Qiao He was stunned. "So that's how it is. But system, why did you choose me back then? Why can the azure substance upgrade you?" Qiao He still asked her question. She didn't know if the system would tell her the truth, but if she didn't ask, she would never know the truth.
The system seemed to fall silent for a long time before finally saying, "Fate has led me to choose you, perhaps because of your will."
