"Don't get in the way! Sacrifice is not something you can touch!" After warning it, it lit a ball of fire from its palm and stuffed it into its wound.
"Oh no! It's trying to explode!"
Folfer's entire body was made of gunpowder, making him prone to igniting others as well as himself. Before the flames and energy appeared, Lin Yue knelt down and crouched low, ultimately shielding Lan Xi beneath him.
The most violent explosions blasted surrounding vehicles away. The area became a fiery hell.
This is like the future vision in Lanxi's eyes.
4. "Are you okay? Hello? Hello?"
This is a voice message Lin Yue sent to Shan Shan thirty minutes ago.
She hasn't contacted anyone from the poetry club in the past few days; appearing and disappearing without a trace is her usual style, except that she used to keep in touch every time.
At this moment, she was on the rooftop of the teaching building, gazing blankly ahead, lost in thought. Otherwise, with her keen sense of smell, she would definitely have been able to detect the explosion of demonic energy two kilometers away.
To understand how we met Lin Yue, we have to start from a year ago. Back then, he wasn't like he is now, living like a novel's male protagonist, rescuing damsels in distress, flirting with girls, and slaying demons. Instead, he was a down-on-his-luck young man who had become detached from society, spending his days aimlessly in bars. He had lost his sense of responsibility as a detective, living in a daze and preparing to die in a daze.
It wasn't until Uncle Bin dragged him back to the poetry club and gave him a severe beating that Shanshan met him.
His speech appeared flamboyant on the surface, but something was hidden beneath. His eyes were bright, but something else was concealed within them.
He acts with integrity and uprightness, yet something is hidden within him. Every time he defeats demons and achieves victory, something else remains amiss. Everything about him is shrouded in mystery.
She felt that her relationship with him was better than that with other people.
Because from a certain point onward, he began to speak to her things he had never spoken to anyone else, and in a tone he had never used with anyone else.
One early morning, she found Lin Yue standing on the rooftop, gazing at the night sky from the railing, with a blank expression on his face, looking more sad and helpless than others.
He seemed to be searching for a unique existence among the stars.
Legend has it that the deceased transform into a star, forever existing in the night sky. She didn't know why this thought suddenly came to her mind.
At that moment, he seemed transparent, making it immediately clear what he was thinking.
Everything hidden in one's heart is laid bare.
"I want to seek redemption."
No one knows what mistakes he made in the past. He sought redemption and forgiveness. But the one who could forgive and redeem him is now forever in the night sky, never to return.
He didn't know what to do. That's when he met Shanshan. Feeling lost, he thought that anyone could save him.
“If I could, I would redeem you in that person’s place and forgive you.” That was her response.
Shanshan arrogantly believed that she had successfully redeemed Lin Yue.
But when she saw Lin Yue standing on the rooftop again one night, so transparent once more, his blank and helpless expression unchanged, she realized that everything was still in the same place. One person is not the same as another; one person cannot become another.
But she couldn't understand why he would find redemption in Lan Xi.
The two people look very alike?
In a sense, he is a demon, protecting someone who resembles the dead—a person unaware and overjoyed—in order to atone for the dead. He protects her not because she is her, but because she resembles her.
For some reason, Shanshan, who never thinks about philosophical questions, came up with such a sentence.
In any case, she decided to end this false relationship of redemption and being redeemed.
5. "Are you alright? Hello? Hello?"
Hearing Lin Yue anxiously calling for her to wake up, Lan Xi regained consciousness.
"Wow! You're finally awake!" Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then slumped into a seat.
"Is this the underworld?"
"If your idea of the underworld is a place of fire, built on the ruins of a crossroads in the human world, with vehicle wreckage everywhere, then you can't say it's not like that."
She laughed helplessly at the teasing.
They were both still alive. The thought crossed their minds simultaneously.
"This is probably what you saw through the right eye of the demon not long ago, right?"
"That's not it!" Lanxi was no longer afraid and spoke out loudly, because that scene was over and could not possibly happen again: "I... I saw you burned by flames, and even your lower body was blown off."
After listening, Lin Yue was stunned for a few seconds, then gasped and had to admit, "If that's really the case, it's quite terrifying."
"It's more than terrifying! It scared me to death!"
"It wasn't you who died..."
"Then what's the point of my life!" she blurted out, only to realize she'd said something terrible. She corrected herself, "No, no... I mean, if I'm all alone, how am I supposed to get out of this ruin?"
"Don't explain, I understand, you're a good person."
No, that's not what she thought at all; they'd only known each other for a few days! To change the subject, she pretended to look around at the scenery, then turned back to look at Lin Yue, only then noticing that his left hand was covered in blood.
"Hey! You're injured! Still joking around!"
He had used his sword's energy to cleave through the explosion, which had narrowly allowed the two to survive. However, some flying shards still managed to pierce him. "I'm alright..."
"You still say you're fine! There's a pool of blood on the ground!"
"..." Lin Yue paused for a moment, not paying much attention to his injuries, but thinking about two things:
