Li Jingwen subconsciously turned her body to the side and avoided the arrow of the Night Knight again.
She felt like her body was about to fall apart, and every part of her body was screaming in pain and exhaustion.
At this time, nearly ten minutes had passed since she faced the Dark Knight alone.
During these ten minutes, Li Jingwen made use of the light and relied on her familiarity with the teaching building to engage in a "hide-and-seek" chase with the Dark Knight in the five-story building.
Fortunately, there are multiple staircases in the teaching building, otherwise Li Jingwen would probably be caught by the Night Knight within a minute.
But by now, no matter how familiar she was with this facility, Li Jingwen was so tired that she could hardly run.
Even an adult would find it difficult to escape while dodging the arrows of the Night Knight, let alone a frail girl like Li Jingwen.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful, regretful that she had to die just after she understood the truth of the world; she also felt a little desperate, desperate that the Dark Knight was so powerful that it was beyond her imagination.
But I have no regrets.
Because the current development also makes Li Jingwen feel very comforted.
The reason why she stayed behind alone to hold back the Dark Knight was very simple. On the one hand, it was because of Xu Le's "last wish", and on the other hand, it was because she was afraid of the Dark Knight.
Of course, there is actually one last aspect, which is also the most important point for Li Jingwen to do all this.
That is, the current development and trend are very consistent with the "sacrifice" she expected.
After witnessing Xu Le's "sacrifice", Li Jingwen felt like a switch was turned on. It was also because of Xu Le that Li Jingwen realized what she really liked and wanted.
That is to walk into the deep darkness alone in the gazes of others, and advance into the abyss with the power of a lone hero or a tragic hero!
This is what Li Jingwen wants most! And the current trend is obviously in line with her ideals and expectations!
So Li Jingwen stayed without any regrets.
Li Jingwen felt genuinely satisfied whenever she thought that her back would remain in the minds of many people.
But the only regret is that the final stage is not that big.
If she could die heroically in front of countless people, it would further inspire Li Jingwen to feel joy and happiness about "sacrifice".
In a way, maybe she is broken too.
While all kinds of thoughts were churning in her mind, a dark fog came from the distant other side.
The Knight of Darkness, holding a spear in hand, gradually emerged from around the corner, his wooden helmet flashing a brilliant scarlet glow.
Its silhouette is so eye-catching in the darkness that even the pitch-black smoke cannot conceal it in the slightest. Instead, it makes its appearance even more magnificent and indescribable.
At this moment, it came towards this side step by step. The sound of horse hooves stepping on tiles was crisp, echoing in the teaching building, as if someone was composing a heavy piano piece.
I can't run anymore.
Li Jingwen thought so in her heart.
No one knows her body better than her. At least for her, she doesn't even have the strength to get up now.
Right now she was hiding in a classroom on the fifth floor of the teaching building, and coincidentally, this classroom was her class.
Sitting at her desk, Li Jingwen gently stroked the tabletop, and a smile appeared on her face, which was red due to lack of oxygen due to the intense exercise.
It may sound a bit decadent to say this, but it’s really good.
Is there any happier ending than this? The "hero" is in his former position, looking at the traces of the past, with pity and pride in his heart for sacrificing himself to save others, and reconciling with the suffering of the past at the moment of the end...
Perfect.
Li Jingwen felt that dying like this was much better than living in a mess in real life.
Outside the classroom, the sound of horse hooves came from far away, approaching this side little by little.
Li Jingwen has made all the mental preparations.
She could already see through the windows a dark figure moving from one window to the next, moving slowly and steadily between the gaps in the wall, like a eerie ghost stepping through the inky darkness.
Then, at the door of the classroom, the knight tightened the reins and stopped.
The feeling of being stared at came over her again. Perhaps because it had happened once before, Li Jingwen had some experience in dealing with it.
At least this time she wouldn't be unable to move, but would be able to move her eyes and see the other person with her own eyes.
All this... is about to end.
Li Jingwen thought so in her heart when the sharp arrow passed by her cheek and was about to leave another bright red wound.
However, soon, she suddenly felt something cold approaching her cheek.
Just like sticking a popsicle on your face in the hot summer, the pair of hands that were as frozen as popsicles stretched out from the darkness and accurately grasped the whistling arrow with a relaxed attitude! The arrow that was supposed to pierce through her head was gently swung by the hands to change its direction, without leaving any trace on Li Jingwen's face.
This is……
Li Jingwen rolled her eyes, trying to see the person behind her.
However, because the person was standing behind her, she couldn't see clearly. She could only see the pale and bloodless wrist of the person out of the corner of her eye.
"Sorry, something delayed me a bit. But it looks like I've arrived just in time."
A voice came from behind Li Jingwen. Although it expressed words of relief, there was only a chuckle of certainty in the tone.
Holding the arrow, Bai Ling walked slowly out of the shadows, stood beside Li Jingwen, and put one hand on her shoulder.
A cold touch came from her shoulder blades. This chill made Li Jingwen shudder violently and she regained control of her body.
She looked at Bai Ling somewhat blankly.
Who is this man who suddenly appeared? The next second, the words spoken by Bai Ling answered Li Jingwen's doubts.
Taking his hand back, Bai Ling looked at Li Jingwen with a smile: "Can you still stand up, Li Jingwen?"
He, knows me? Li Jingwen looked at Bai Ling while panting.
The man in front of him looked handsome, but for some reason, his face was completely pale. He was wearing a gray windbreaker, carrying an old-looking handbag, and holding a thick notebook in his right hand.
A man who looks very handsome but also very weird. This was Li Jingwen’s first impression of Bai Ling.
After taking out the diary, Bai Ling casually flipped it open and glanced at it before continuing, "Well, strictly speaking, this is probably the first time we met."
"After all, the one-way prediction that only I can see your tortuous path, while you know nothing about it, cannot be called 'familiarity' in the social relationship defined by humans."
"Then let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Ling, and I am a member of the 'Daylight' organization, or rather, the leader of the Daylight." Bai Ling smiled, "Of course, you can also call me 'The Prophet'."
As soon as this name came out.
Even if Li Jingwen was stupid, she finally realized something! This person was the "prophet"? Although Li Jingwen didn't know anything about the "prophet", Xu Le's previous words and deeds revealed his trust and admiration for the prophet many times, and he even went against his principles to bring Li Jingwen with him.
And now, the prophet actually appeared in front of her? Li Jingwen looked at Bai Ling blankly, wanting to say something, but unable to say it for a while.
Seeing Li Jingwen's confusion, Bai Ling nodded to her and said, "I guess you probably have a lot of questions to ask, but before that, we probably need to solve some 'accidents' first."
As he spoke, Bai Ling narrowed his eyes at the Night Knight in the distance.
"I didn't expect it to become a 'dangerous' level. Was it deliberately designed to cover up my detection? Interesting, is this an action deliberately aimed at Ming Zhou?"
Looking at the Night Knight, Bering said softly, "But it doesn't matter. The more I see, the clearer my understanding becomes. Although I am a little surprised, it is probably still within the scope of the future."
"Then let's begin the finishing touches."
Bai Ling took out a white glove from his handbag and put it on his hand. He tightened the hem of the glove to make the curve of his hand into a smooth arc, and said calmly.
