Chapter 324 After the Fall
Xinnaya's eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up the phone, put it close to her ear, and called out sweetly, "Chen Xiao'er~"
"...Why didn't I see you in the parking lot?"
Chen Xiao'er's voice came from the other side, and the silence was mixed with a strange sense of emptiness and distance.
Xinnaya was not familiar with such a gentle Chen Xiao'er, and for a moment she even felt a little flattered.
After receiving the call from her "master", she hurried out of the pavilion with her cell phone in hand and ran half a circle around the skyscraper.
The devil's gaze wandered around, and sure enough, he saw Chen Xiao'e, quietly waiting, right where he remembered her. The girl in a white dress looked a bit bleak in the cold wind, and it made the devil's core tremble.
Sinaya didn't catch her own subtle emotions. She smiled and leaned against her phone, "Something happened just now. I'll come over now."
After the call was interrupted, she put down her phone and walked towards Chen Xiao'er step by step.
The sense of impending death and the web-like rules were receding from her. All she could see was the slow motion of the girl turning around, and...
The devil finally saw the focused look in Chen Xiao'er's eyes that was only for you.
The original worries vanished into thin air, and Xinaya's cracked core floated and spun: You really chose me.
You were indecisive before because you still had many options at that time, but I have already proved that I am the strongest.
She walked towards the girl with a smile, feeling a little annoyed at her lack of preparation.
Why did I give you the energy stone as a gift? You don't need that kind of thing at all. The sky is full of energy. I really miscalculated.
What do humans really like?
She looked at the girl standing in the pale sunlight and realized something: Chen Xiao'er no longer needed fragile gifts like flowers, because she was about to become a god.
The black-haired girl walked slowly towards them, her right hand tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, leaving a series of tangled marks. But Xinaya didn't care. Her entire attention was focused on her pair of transparent, shining eyes.
"Chen Xiao'er." Xinnaya walked towards a sports car that appeared out of nowhere and opened the door easily.
This time, Chen Xiao'er obediently brushed past her arm and sat in the passenger seat.
Just as Xinnaya was about to close the car door, the girl gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside.
"No rush, let's talk first." Chen Xiao'er raised her right hand and adjusted the collar around Xinnaya's neck.
The slight touch of skin made Xinaya close her eyes comfortably, but then she heard her whisper in her ear: "You have killed many people, and you made money from them, right?"
Xinnaya pursed her lips, her mouth feeling a little dry.
Should we lie here? No... Lying before the gods will only lead to worse consequences.
Inspiration and intuition fell silent, and Xinaya nodded and admitted it frankly.
"Yeah, what else? These people's lives are worthless, so why not let me take charge?"
"Money? You mean power, right? My power comes from long years of hunting. Only the strong have the right to survive."
“…I see.”
Chen Xiao'er's right hand slipped off the collar, and only her left hand was still holding Xinnaya's wrist, slowly changing from holding to pressing.
The girl raised her head, and her eyes as deep as the abyss occupied Xinaya's entire vision.
She seemed to be moving away, yet also seemed to be approaching at an even faster speed, and whispered slowly in her ear: "Xinaya, what do you want most?"
Any question posed by the gods required serious consideration, but this one did not.
Of course it was—bang!
Xinnaya eagerly lowered her head to trace the girl's expression, and a little blood flowed from her lips: "You!"
Dark flowers bloom on the chest.
Chen Xiao'er didn't have a dagger in her hand, only a...silver-white gun.
Sinaya knew without even checking that her human heart was completely shattered.
Why?
Did I make any wrong choices?
besides--
In this last moment of astonishment, the devil suddenly showed a relieved smile: I lost to you again, Chen Xiao'er.
The final game between us ended with me losing the power to resist. Does your future...after all...not need anyone...?
I......
【I want to be your only one】
【I want to be the one you choose】
【I want to continue this never-ending game with you】
I love you, Chen Xiao'er.
The broken heart finally burst into a real heartbeat after it was destroyed. As a human being, Sinaya shed a tear, and the core of the devil was turned into powder in reality.
The devil fell towards his own light, using his last bit of strength to embrace the pale starlight, expressing his obsession and wish to his only true love.
"Don't forget me, Chen Xiao'er."
The emerald eyes were filled with longing: Even if it takes thousands or tens of millions of years, I want to... meet you again in your world.
The stars lowered the sky for her, and the final answer echoed in the space.
"I will definitely forget you, Xinaya."
"I will definitely forget you." The tears had already dried up, not a single drop belonged to her.
Chen Xiao'er put her hand on Xinnaya's neck, feeling her body that no longer pulsed.
Large pools of blood dyed the hem of her skirt red and soaked every corner of the sports car, as if she was in the embrace of a pool of blood.
She didn't know how long it was before she was finally sure that this terrible, hateful, crazy villain had lost all heartbeat and breathing, and would never get up again to continue to pester her.
It’s really... I feel so uncomfortable, I want to cry, I almost can’t breathe.
No one is left, whether it is relatives, friends, or enemies, they are all gone.
Chen Xiao'er covered her mouth and touched the outline of her teeth with her fingers, as if she wanted to pull them out one by one to avoid obstructing her breathing.
Wait, do I really need to breathe?
Do I really...still want to live?
She walked on the street, her red dress dripping with blood.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't remember when she walked into which store, or how she paid for a brand new dress.
When she stood on the high rooftop, the wind blew, and her light skirt spread out like a lotus leaf, swaying in the wind.
Come on, you don't need to suffer anymore.
Chen Xiao'er closed her eyes, and a hazy sleepiness enveloped her, wrapping her in a golden web.
......
"Stop struggling!" Despair, impatiently revealing itself from the shadows, transformed itself into a gray hawk and swooped down towards the North Star in the sky, the symbol of Chen Xiao'er.
Fall, fall now, and when you fall, I will rise—
"You wish! I've been watching you here for a long time, you bastard!" The gray-black shadows surged and gathered into a winding giant snake in the void.
"Hiss~" Chen Xiaotong howled and bit the desperate phantom, but the surging black mist blocked her throat, making her unable to swallow.
This guy's power is far stronger than I imagined. Damn, how long has he been hiding in the abyss?
"Heh, if I wasn't strong enough, how could I dare to covet Chen Xiao'er's power?"
Desperate's tone was light, but his mood was not good.
Chen Xiaotong is not the focus. He spent so much energy to make Chen Xiao'er self-destruct, but now...
Desperate and unable to break free for a moment, he simply dragged Chen Xiaotong's body and flew towards the star.
A layer of golden mist with a slightly bright red hue enveloped the white star, unwilling to let it fall.
It is glorious, of course it is glorious.
Despair calmly extended his strength to touch the golden shell.
No matter how great the risk, I must devour Chen Xiao'er before Guanghui does.
.....
Chen Xiao'er glanced at the gray-black sky. The clouds pressed heavily against her in the wind, making her shoulders wet with crackling sounds.
What a hassle.
She held up a transparent umbrella in a trance, wiped the water off her face, and ran wildly in the puddles.
I want to go home. Where is home?
I want to find...who?
Where am I going now? Why am I running here? Where is this place?
She ran through the dark alleys, the buildings around her strange and repetitive, in an endless cycle.
Finally, after running endlessly, Chen Xiao'er found a dilapidated station. The time and train number on the iron notice board were covered with red and black rust, and the numbers and radicals could not be seen clearly.
Do you want to take the bus here? Perhaps not.
Click, click.
An inexplicable sourness accompanied the thumping sound of the umbrella's edge. The sound of footsteps mixed with the raindrops made her heart ache.
"Xiao'er." A familiar voice sounded behind her.
Chen Xiao'er turned around in the overwhelming rain, and a figure in a windbreaker gradually emerged.
Professor Milo stood elegantly on the platform, her gloved left hand holding a red and black umbrella with a jade-colored handle, and her smooth right hand stretched out towards her through the rain.
Even though no one saw that smile, it still spread to the corners of Chen Xiao'er's sad mouth.
The umbrella swayed in the wind and rain. Professor Milo raised his right hand, turned it over to his palm, and slowly beckoned to her.
She seemed to be saying, "Come to me, it's okay if you don't want to."
"Woo, old teacher!" The transparent umbrella flew into the air, and Chen Xiao'er hugged Professor Milo's waist tightly.
"..." Shadow's expression became gentle during the hug, and even his scarlet eyes had golden undertones.
Milo's body was very cold, as if she needed someone to warm her. But after a nostalgic hug, she whispered softly in the girl's ear: "Hurry up and get in the car, Xiao'er, it's the last minute."
After saying this, the professor firmly pushed Chen Xiao'er's shoulders away and asked her to look at the empty bus.
Are you getting in the car?
Chen Xiao'er looked at the invisible and colorless car and raised her foot blankly: Anyway, I have nowhere else to go.
She left her "teacher" behind and got on the car.
......
The golden glow and the black haze fought fiercely, and at first glance it looked like rolling dark clouds emitting thunder.
"Glorious, what are you doing?"
Looking down in despair, He thought He would see a warm scene.
Whether it was to appease Chen Xiao'e and make her give up her suicidal thoughts, or to make Chen Xiao'e give up her own will and completely trust Him, shouldn't we create an absolutely safe area?
Then why did you create a scene that would be far more shocking to Chen Xiao'er than the current one?
"I really want to comfort Xiao Ai, but you'll definitely do something."
There was no fluctuation in Guanghui's voice. Their wills interacted fiercely in the battle, and Despair could hear His strong disgust and sarcasm.
Despair had no objection; lies were meaningless in a fight on this level.
If Guanghui truly built a paradise for Chen Xiao'er, it would actually be very convenient for Him. To destroy a sweet candy house, all it takes is a little poison.
If Guanghui reassures Chen Xiao'er that this place is absolutely safe, he will do everything in his power to prove it is not safe. If Guanghui deceives Chen Xiao'er that all the people she loves will return, he will use up all his strength to break the illusion once again.
But now... despair hesitated.
Because the illusion He detected was not a sweet candy house, but rather the desperate scenes He often constructed for mankind.
A dilapidated house, a seriously ill and dying person, and a busy caregiver - [you].
Desperately staring at the scene below where the timeline had not yet been opened.
The person lying on the hospital bed should be Chen Xiao'er's adoptive mother, but in Guanghui's limited identity, she is just a poor and sick old woman.
The dilemma faced by Chen Xiao'er would make many ordinary people despair: you are the only labor force in the family, and you are morally kidnapped to take care of a patient who spends money like water. How can you possibly persist?
Despair understood Guanghui's plan after a little thought.
By the way, in this scene Chen Xiao'er is taking care of her mother.
Humans can always hold on longer for the sake of family affection. Although they may collapse after a few years or even more than ten years, as long as Chen Xiao'er has the motivation to live a few more days, Guanghui will outlast me.
Even if I expend my energy to prolong the time of feeling, Chen Xiao'er's kindness is enough for her to take care of my mother for twenty or thirty years without self-destruction. I would have been defeated by Guanghui before she collapsed.
Then how about using the method of breaking the illusion to break the situation?
It's useless. Even if I tell her that Chen Yunshu is dead, her previous experience of taking care of patients will dull her grief and make it difficult for her to reach the critical point just now.
rustling.
The black mist rushed towards the light, affecting the underlying illusion at the cost of increasing the risk of fusion and making it more difficult.
The scene outside the house changed from peaceful to apocalyptic with zombies surrounding it. That was the scariest scene in Chen Xiao'er's memory.
The old woman's face also changed. She was no longer Chen Yunshu. They had lost their original blood relationship and were just doomsday companions who met by chance.
And... snap! Glory lashed out at Despair's extended claws, and the scene began to unfold.
