Chapter 316 Blood and Light
【Just call me Xiao Nuan from now on. 】
Woo woo... Chen Xiao'er opened her eyes with sobs, her tears had long dried up, and the corners of her eyes were burning with pain.
She unconsciously rubbed her eyelids, and the red, yellow and blue spots of light in her vision finally lightened a little, allowing her to form images in the hazy double images.
The luxurious crystal chandelier swirled on the ceiling, reminding her of the one in her mother's room. Only the light here was paler, and the wick was a burning flame, a figure she couldn't tell if real or an illusion.
The pillow and quilt were very comfortable, as light as clouds. Her soul slowly sank, trying to dig out the remaining shadows of the dream from the depths of her mind.
I just... actually dreamed about the day when I met Xiao Nuan as a child.
Chen Xiao'er found that her body was full of strength, and the despairing feeling of exhaustion disappeared, replaced by stiffness and numbness.
She felt that every joint of hers was as hard as steel, and even her heart was pounding against her ribs.
Sister Lan.
Boom.
Xiaotong......
Knock knock.
What should I do quickly, quickly... quickly, to get out of bed?
My fingers slammed against the bedside table with a thud, but it didn't hurt at all.
She vaguely remembered the cars with school logos on them on the overpass.
zero.
Is Zero in there? Yes, I think.
Was she forcibly dragged away by the school, or was she persuaded by the senior members of the student union to get on the bus on her own initiative?
Is there any difference?
Yes... Chen Xiao'er closed her eyes: But no matter which situation it was, she had no reason to ask for change.
So what if I found him? Should I persuade Zero to give up his last chance to go back to school and do nothing with me, a guy with no future?
I failed to save Xiaotong, and I also killed Zheng Xiuli and Sister Lan. In the future, who do I want to drag down?
She lay back on the pillow, letting the pale light reflect in her eyes.
School? No, I don't want to go, and they won't accept me.
[I want to be a useful person to society and live happily with my mother and Xiaotong!]
If Sister Lan is willing to move to United Cities... I can work with her.
The memories of the past were like a rope tightly wrapped around her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The words and thoughts that my once naive self said and thought in a matter-of-fact tone kept echoing in my mind, slapping me in the face one after another.
Chen Xiao'er's complexion became worse and worse. She had put her hand into her mouth at some point and bit her finger until it bled without any reaction.
Little Warm......
Oh, right, I just dreamed about Xiao Nuan. If I had discussed this with her, she would surely have given me some better advice, right? Things couldn't possibly get any worse.
She pulled her fingers out with difficulty and fumbled around the bed, her palm hitting the corner of the bedside table.
Click.
The phone was scratched by a finger and fell to the carpet along the corner. Chen Xiao'er quickly turned over and tried her best to feel around.
Click.
A hand grasped her fingers.
"Chen Xiao'er, you're awake!"
A dark purple shadow stood before her with its back to the light, and scarlet curtains fell between the interlaced shadows, like a circulating river of blood.
Chen Xiao'er looked at her fingers. The hand holding hers was not gentle at all, but the tone was full of joy.
【Sinaya】
When this concept formed in her mind, the frantic purple shadow instantly reorganized and transformed into a crazy girl with long golden hair before her eyes.
"Huh...ha, don't, don't disturb me from looking for Xiao Nuan, wow." Chen Xiao'er pushed Xinnaya's belly with her other hand in annoyance, trying to roll to the ground to find her cell phone.
Xinnaya reached out and hugged her body, asking in confusion: "What are you doing? By the way, who is Xiao Nuan?"
"Xiao Nuan is Xiao Nuan... get out of the way." Chen Xiao'er frowned and pushed again. An invisible repulsive force appeared in her palm, pushing Xinnaya away.
The devil raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Wow, you've gotten a lot stronger. Originally, you just naturally rejected me while unconscious, but now you're actively separating yourself from me? Interesting~"
She raised her hand again, wanting to play a joke on Chen Xiao'er, but her core was slightly touched the moment she raised her hand: Wait, where is the contract with the same clan?
Sinaya suddenly realized that the blood-red contract buried deep within her core had dissipated. It wasn't a natural dissipation after the conditions were met, but rather the death of a member of her clan.
Good death!
A strong joy enveloped the devil's core. She had been unhappy with that old Densi for a long time!
At first, I had to feign complaisance and be led by my own people just to get close to Chen Xiao'er. Later, when this guy was about to achieve his goal, he actually dared to use the contract to let Chen Xiao'er restrain me.
"Haha, hahahahaha." The emerald eyes danced wildly, and Xinaya opened her arms under the light.
She had almost forgotten about the old guy, but she didn't expect that you would die before I killed you, hahahahahahaha.
How shameful, weakling!
Xinaya laughed heartily, and only stopped laughing after laughing so hard that it would have killed a human three or four times.
Her sanity returned and she began to think about an important thing: How did that fellow tribesman die?
Although she really wanted to say happily, "Aha, the idiot and unlucky guy must have killed himself~", she had to admit that the old thing was still quite interesting.
Milo left Xinaya with the impression of being cunning, cautious, and good at acting, but also very decisive when it came time to act. As a devil, he was undoubtedly an excellent one.
Otherwise, how could she have the upper hand so many times in their interactions?
Well~ To speculate the cause of the old woman's death, we must first understand her needs.
Miroku had expended immense energy hiding within the Church of Radiance, clearly aiming for some extremely precious treasure. Power? The opportunity to become a god—Radiance!
The intricate details can point to many clues, but it is much easier to trace the motivation and process backwards from time and results.
Sinaya only needed to breathe normally to feel the endless energy sent by the multi-power ritual. Death at this juncture must be a struggle for power.
She has always been following the hot favorite Chen Xiao'er. The newborn snake was trapped at the bottom of the abyss, too far away, and was desperate like a candle in the wind, and would die if discovered by others.
By the process of elimination, only brilliance remains.
Xinnaya nodded inwardly. Guanghui was also her enemy. After all, in order for Chen Xiao'er to become a god, Guanghui had to be eliminated—wait a minute!
A hint of disbelief flashed in the devil's eyes. She slowly twisted her neck in surprise and looked at Chen Xiao'er who was sitting at the head of the bed and typing on her cell phone.
Is this also part of your calculation, Chen Xiao'er?
Miroku never fought you head-on, and even pretended to be your assistant by hanging around you. You always acted so trusting of her that I thought you were at least a little bit deceived by her.
What's even more admirable is that since the beginning of this power struggle, everything that old man has done seems to be for his own benefit, but every step of the way is beneficial to you.
Maybe you made Milo think that you were on the same side, maybe you made her think that you were the easiest to deal with, anyway... you played her in the palm of your hand, until she died in the end on the road of opposing Guanghui, using her life to make wedding dresses for you.
Xinnaya looked at the girl's profile with a surge of emotion, and for a moment, joy, regret and honor were mixed in her heart.
I'm sorry I didn't get to witness your fun round dance with her.
The Newborn Snake devoured the Devouring Snake for you, and after Despair sealed the Newborn Snake, he was weakened by the waves of people you brought with you.
The out-of-control Lan sacrifices himself for you, the apostles lead your troublesome companions away, and the glorious and eternal devils get involved in a fight because of you.
I'm honored that you finally chose me.
Xinnaya took a deep breath, sat down next to her and asked softly, "The Xiao Nuan you are talking about is Xiao Nuan, right?"
"The Xiao Nuan you're talking about is Guanghui, right?"
"..." Chen Xiao'er stared blankly at her phone screen, her text to Xiao Nuan still unanswered. It was a long time before she heard what Xinnaya was saying, and two words escaped her lips: "Nonsense."
The girl's gloomy eyes reflected in Xinnaya's eyes with a unique charm, which aroused a heart-pounding touch.
This is what humans call love, Chen Xiao'er, you love me too.
Your words and actions are so obscure and difficult to understand, but only the final choice is inevitable and true.
Xinaya finally understood what the right time and atmosphere were for confession.
On the eve of your becoming a god, I am the only one qualified to accompany you.
"Why?" Chen Xiao'er stared at the phone, and the stumbling sound attracted the devil's full attention.
She sobbed and said, "Why didn't Professor Miroku answer her phone anymore..." I just wanted to ask how Zero was doing, I didn't mean to pester her.
Chen Xiao'er's murmur full of grievances sounded like thunder in Xinnaya's ears.
You're using the deaths of your own people to remind me—either die or swear allegiance. It turns out even my use of the energy stone to craft a ring was part of your calculations.
The love in Xinaya's heart became more and more intense. She took out the ring she had prepared long ago from her arms and knelt on one knee.
The devil lowered his arrogant head and held the ring high: "Chen Xiao'er, marry me. I am willing to take care of you for the rest of my life."
"Chen Xiao'er, please sign a contract with me. I am willing to serve you until the end of time."
"......" With a click, the phone fell onto the thick carpet again.
Chen Xiao'er didn't realize what she was saying at first. When her nerves slowly recovered, a strong feeling of nausea flooded her heart.
What the hell?
Chen Xiao'er wanted to scream and slash Xinnaya's face, telling her to get out and stop disgusting people. But her long-standing upbringing made her swallow the curse words and whisper, "No, don't make such jokes again."
joke?
Xinnaya looked up blankly and saw a pair of scrutinizing eyes.
Oh, I see.
The body of an abyssal creature is of course more perfect than that of a human. A humanoid body is unnecessary. You want me to embrace your light and become one with you.
Xinnaya once scoffed at human emotions, but Chen Xiao'er's true confession at this moment made her core boil instantly.
Weak? Strong? No, none of that matters. It's my greatest happiness to be one with you.
The devil leaned forward and whispered the words he thought he would never say: "I do."
"No, don't talk to yourself," Chen Xiao'er raised her hand angrily, but was easily caught the next second.
Sinaya's strong body pressed down, and the cloud-like mattress sank under the weight.
Her emerald eyes gleamed with the sharpness of a hunter.
"Chen Xiao'er, become one with me!"
"Chen Xiao'er, become one with me!"
"......." Chen Xiao'er's pupils shrank slightly, and then she stretched out her hand towards the void behind her.
Where is my knife?
