Chapter 381 Jiang Yueyue is dead

The poisonous snake aimed at Jiang Mian's neck and bit her hard.

Jiang Mian curled up in pain.

She recognized the snake that bit her; it was a Suzhen ring-shaped snake.

Everything in sight was white, and the sound of the venomous snake's scales rubbing against each other kept ringing in her ears, tormenting Jiang Mian so much that she wished she was dying.

She opened her mouth with great difficulty. Every time she breathed, she felt pain in her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Jiang Mian gradually found it difficult to breathe. She wanted to call out Huo Ning's name, but her pronunciation was unclear and she couldn't even utter the complete word "Huo".

"Ma'am, are you in there?"

"Ma'am, do you need any help?"

There seemed to be the sounds of rescuers and medical staff outside.

"Ma'am, please open the door. We are here to rescue you."

Their voices were gentle, and seemed to have a kind of natural magic, tempting Jiang Mian to open the door of the hotel room.

It seemed that if she could just open the door, she would be free.

It seemed that as long as she opened the door, she would be safe.

Jiang Mian gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly.

She won't go out.

These people out there are all liars.

The only safest place is in a hotel.

She is afraid of snakes, but human hearts are much scarier than snakes.

Staying in the hotel, being bitten by a snake was an illusion, not real.

But once she gets out, she will really die.

Jiang Mian raised the hand with the red rope and placed it close to her heart.

The red rope emitted a little warmth, and Jiang Mian felt a warm current flowing into her heart. The illusion before her eyes slowly dissipated in front of her like smoke.

The pain of dying and the feeling of difficulty breathing disappeared without a trace in that instant.

Jiang Mian's body was surrounded by a warm current.

Hot tears fell from her eyes.

Finally, is it all over?

"Okay Jiang Mian, it's all over, let's leave."

Huo Ning's cold voice echoed outside.

Jiang Mian's tears flowed out at this moment, "Master Huo!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, and she was filled with grievances that had accumulated over the days.

"It's okay, come out quickly."

Jiang Mian wiped her tears, stood up, opened the bathroom door and walked out.

She saw the cake on the table that she was reluctant to open.

But Huo Ning was nowhere to be seen.

"Master Huo? Where are you?"

Jiang Mian asked doubtfully, feeling nervous at that moment.

She felt uneasy and panicky, sweeping over her body for no apparent reason.

"I'm outside, please come out. The hotel is not safe, we should leave."

The woman's voice was cold, yet it carried a hint of tenderness and temptation.

This is the voice Jiang Mian trusts the most.

But at this moment, Jiang Mian's heart sank to the bottom.

Master Huo had previously told her not to believe anything she saw.

So she doesn't believe in earthquakes.

Nor did she believe in the poisonous snakes that frightened her.

But what if, what if the person standing outside is Master Huo?

What if the person who called her out was Master Huo?

Should she believe it or not?

She picked up her phone and checked the time.

It is now 11:58 pm.

There are two minutes left until tomorrow.

Master Huo said that tomorrow will be a new beginning.

In the new year, she will have a new life and a new life.

"Master Huo, my stomach hurts so much, I can't even use my strength anymore, can you come in and help me?"

Jiang Mian's voice was choked and weak, and she sounded like she was barely breathing, as if she really didn't have much time left.

It must be heartbreaking to see someone who is usually strong occasionally showing such a vulnerable side.

But the people outside seem to have hearts of stone.

The woman's voice outside was still cold, "I don't have my room card with me, please open the door for me quickly, and I'll take you to the hospital."

Jiang Mian's expression gradually turned colder.

She took the step she had already taken and then took it back.

Master Huo would not leave his room card.

Master Huo would not have had this reaction when he heard that she had a stomachache.

The time has come to eleven fifty-nine.

Jiang Mian looked at the hotel door coldly.

As long as you don't open the door, it's fine.

She only believed what Master Huo said to her before he left.

The hotel is safe.

As long as she didn't leave the hotel, she would be safe.

The person outside seemed to know what she was thinking, and suddenly asked a question that made her shudder with a smile.

"Jiang Mian, how do you know that the me who told you that the hotel was absolutely safe was the real me?"

"Can you tell which one is me?"

Jiang Mian felt cold all over.

She looked through cat's eyes.

The person outside looked exactly like the person she trusted with all her heart.

The other party frowned, "Jiang Mian, don't be immersed in illusions. Everything before is an illusion. Come out quickly. I want to take you away from this place."

"If you stay here any longer, you will die. Have you forgotten what I told you not to trust anyone? The most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart."

Every word she spoke pierced the most vulnerable part of Jiang Mian's heart.

She seemed to want Jiang Mian's faith to slowly collapse.

Her tone even had a hint of urgency.

Jiang Mian smiled slowly.

She looked at the red rope and said, "You're right, don't trust anyone."

"So at this moment, I just choose to believe in myself."

My intuition told me that the hotel was safe.

If she could even deceive herself, she probably wouldn't be able to survive this disaster. It was all her own fault.

"Jiang Mian! Come out quickly! Don't make me say it a second time!"

"If you stay any longer, you will really die, and then all your efforts will be wasted. Everything you have done is just to help Jiang Yueyue."

The urging voices came one after another.

Jiang Mian turned a deaf ear to it.

Just staring at the time on the phone without blinking.

When the numbers jumped to midnight, the sound of New Year's fireworks rang out outside the hotel.

Tick.

The door to the hotel opened.

Huo Ning walked in from outside with a faint smile on her face.

"Jiang Mian, congratulations, you have been reborn."

"From now on, live your life well. Everything you lost will be back."

Jiang Mian was stunned, staring at Huo Ning in a daze, "Master Huo, what...what is going on? The person outside just now..."

"The person outside just now was me."

Huo Ning smiled and replied, "I just want to tell you that no one is worthy of your wholehearted trust, including me."

"But it's good that you didn't let me down."

The string that Jiang Mian was tightly tied with suddenly broke, and she squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

"Master Huo, you scared me to death!"

Huo Ning smiled and put her hand on her shoulder. "Okay, it's a new year now. Everything will have a new beginning. It's twelve o'clock now. You are safe."

"Want to go out and watch the fireworks together?"

Jiang Mian felt a chill all over her body and subconsciously took a step back. Huo Ning's face became blurred at this moment.

Jiang Mian was shaking all over, and her voice was trembling, "No... I won't go."

"I won't tease you anymore, go to bed now."

Huo Ning patted Jiang Mian's hand and gave him a reassuring smile.

Jiang Mian shook his head vigorously to get himself out of that creepy mood.

"Master Huo, I...I want to know, what happened to Jiang Yueyue?"

"Dead." Huo Ning said calmly.

Jiang Yueyue was not going to live past the age of 21, and Jiang Mian was the disaster prevention tool chosen by the Jiang family for her.

Jiang Mian was not deceived by the illusion last night, so the one who died was naturally Jiang Yueyue.

…

Jiang family.

Jiang's father and mother hugged Jiang Yueyue's cold and stiff body and cried their hearts out.

The master standing next to him had a sullen look on his face, and the expression under the mask changed several times, becoming gloomy and cloudy.

Father Jiang suddenly raised his head, his face was grim and there was extreme anger in his eyes.

"Master, my daughter passed away so suddenly. You should give me an explanation!"

He has given the other party countless amounts of money over the years just to keep his daughter safe and healthy.

But now, his precious daughter is dead!

She still didn’t live to be twenty-one!

The master looked at them calmly, "What you did before was to defy fate. Now it is just being set right, and everything is back to where it was before."

He spoke in a condescending tone, as if he was not involved in anything, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"I handed my daughter over to you, and you just want to make trouble and cancel my daughter's life?!"

Jiang's mother's face was horrified, "How can such a cheap thing exist in this world!"

Her daughter died, but Jiang Mian survived.

But now she can't find Jiang Mian, so of course she has to hold this culprit, who is not as skilled as others, accountable!

Jiang's father also stared at the other party expressionlessly.

The masked master smiled coldly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Why, are you planning to bring an investigation against me?"

Jiang's father's face was as gloomy as water. "I won't go to war to punish you, but since you are so capable, you must have a way to let my daughter survive!"

"Of course you can." The master answered straightforwardly, "You are her closest relatives. If you want her to live, you can exchange your life for hers."

He did not feel guilty or sorry for the Jiang family because of Jiang Yueyue's death.

Firstly, he was already accustomed to life and death, and in his eyes, human life was nothing more than a string of cold numbers.

Secondly, there is no such thing as a 100% chance of success in changing one's fate. It is common for things to go wrong along the way.

Jiang's father and mother's expressions twisted for a moment.

There was a fierce gleam in the eyes of the two men, but their expressions gradually calmed down. "In that case, you can go back first."

A sinister light flashed in Jiang's father's eyes behind his black-framed glasses.

I will never let go of the person who killed Yueyue.

Including Jiangmian.

Including this so-called master whose skills are inferior to others.

The master glanced at them calmly, his face expressionless, but a hint of murderous intent emerged in his heart.

You can never feed an ungrateful person.

After helping them for so long, they want to do it to themselves.

Oh, it’s your own fault!
