Chapter 164 - Hold You
Chapter 164 - Hold You
"Why can't you let me see it?"
Ning Fei pulled Duan Yunhong's hand away and glanced at him: "If you want to see it, go get another telescope yourself."
Duan Yunhong said: "You seem to be getting more unhappy the more you look at me."
"You understand now?" Ning Fei took the telescope back from his hand, "Don't pretend in front of me, you can't control me. Don't take yourself too seriously, Mr. Duan."
"Someone caught fire just now?" Although Duan Yunhong didn't use a telescope, he could still see the general outline. A moving, oddly shaped fire that he could tell was burning humans.
Ning Fei had already raised the telescope again and said coldly: "If you want to know, look for yourself."
Duan Yunhong said: "If you want to know whose name was written, the casino will inform you. If you want to know who wrote it and how it was written, just ask one more question and the casino will tell you. You knew clearly from the beginning that this rule would eventually lead to unrest, turmoil and bloodshed, so isn't this the scene you expected? Why stay up late to come here and watch the burning of living people that you don't want to see?"
"You don't understand what I'm saying, do you?" Ning Fei turned his head and stared at him, "I told you to stop making blind guesses about me and stop looking down on me. Why do you have to do this?"
He spoke so harshly all of a sudden, it was obviously intentional. Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes slightly, but still suppressed his temper and insisted on expressing his thoughts: "Guessing blindly? Do you dare to face your true thoughts and really feel whether you want to see it or not?"
"I said I wanted to watch it, but you forced me to admit that I didn't want to watch it. You're the only one who's right in this world? Classic, too classic, this is the bandit logic of you 'Lucky Bandits'!" Ning Fei was most annoyed by Duan Yunhong's tricks, and sneered, "Besides, whether I want to watch it or not is none of your business! Who are you to me? At best, you're just a bootlicker. You slept with me a few times and helped me kill a few people, so you automatically take over and want to control me?"
"Because I can't bear to see you torturing yourself here. You force yourself to watch even though you don't want to!"
Duan Yunhong was finally irritated by what he said. He knew that this was Ning Fei's emotional trap, but he still jumped into it. The man held Ning Fei's hand holding the telescope and continued, "You said you only treated this as a game and fun, but what happened? Now the civilians are rioting, risking their lives to write their names, waiting for your redemption, and you can't sit still and come to see it.
"You had to come and see them only because they are believers who sacrificed their lives under the 'rules of the game' you set. They are ignorant and blind, but if you hadn't done this, they wouldn't be dead now, and so many of them wouldn't be dead so tragically. This is more serious than if you had killed them all yourself, because they really began to believe in you. You are staring at them burning themselves, forcing yourself to bear that kind of guilt, to force guilt, responsibility, and cause and effect onto yourself to torture yourself!
"You must watch them burn because you also want to 'burn' yourself. When you return to this world, you are burning yourself in the flames. Don't push yourself into the fire again, Ning Fei, you have been away from this world for a long time!"
Duan Yunhong said a lot of things without any hesitation, and he was prepared for Ning Fei to jump up and refute him.
Maybe it would be a harsh rebuttal, maybe it would be a loud cursing, or maybe it would just be a simple trampling on Duan Yunhong's character, Duan Yunhong was prepared for all the expectations. However, when he finished speaking, Ning Fei just stared at him coldly.
Then he pulled his hand back forcefully and said coldly, "Get out."
Duan Yunhong said: "No."
Ning Fei stood up and left, but Duan Yunhong was quick to grab his hand again. Ning Fei struggled again but failed to break free, so he raised his hand knife and chopped the man's wrist. Duan Yunhong let go first, but in the next moment he stood up and flipped over the sofa. As soon as he landed, Ning Fei's fist came suddenly, with a fierce wind! Duan Yunhong did not block it, but dodged by turning his head and tried to grab Ning Fei again. In the cramped space of the small attic, the two men started fighting.
But Duan Yunhong only wanted to control Ning Fei, but Ning Fei kept attacking and even drew out the dagger he carried with him. He didn't care whether his next move would hit his head or the sofa. He just attacked, attacked, and attacked again, mercilessly stabbing his dagger in the direction of Duan Yunhong. It was Duan Yunhong who saw that Ning Fei’s head was about to hit the corner of the table and pulled him back. Ning Fei seemed to be waiting for his action. He grabbed his shoulders, flipped them over and pressed them down, and then pushed Duan Yunhong down!
Bang!
Duan Yunhong fell to the ground, Ning Fei's dagger was against his throat.
"Don't you understand what people are saying, huh?" Ning Fei looked down at Duan Yunhong, "Does death have to teach you to shut up?"
The tip of the dagger even touched the skin of the neck, and the cold touch made people feel as if they had started bleeding.
Duan Yunhong didn't care at all, and even laughed wildly, raising his hand to grab the blade of the dagger: "Kill me. Anyway, if you kill me, I will come back again. Even if you use light magic to wash me ten times, I will still stop you from doing so. Because I have made a decision, I will not watch you destroy yourself like this - I will definitely stop you!"
He didn't grab it hard, but the sharp dagger still caused blood to seep from under his palm. A thin, small strip, falling slowly.
"...Do you think you are so great that I should be grateful to you just because you said you were going to save me out of nowhere?!" Ning Fei was so angry that he almost laughed. "You judged me as self-destructing without any reason and said you wanted to save me. What gives you the right? Do you think you are a god above me? Your delusion is too serious. Treat it as soon as possible and don't go crazy outside!"
"I'm not a god above you, and I'm certainly not yours, but I'll take care of this business." The tip of the dagger had begun to drip small drops of blood, but Duan Yunhong's grip on the blade did not change at all. "You set the rules, and if others want to join the game, that's their choice. If others are willing to exchange their lives for an opportunity, that's also their choice. Can you please stop taking lives on your shoulders and stop taking responsibility for others?"
Ning Fei seemed to be attracted by the blood that dripped onto Duan Yunhong's neck and then slid onto the ground beside him, and he remained silent.
Two seconds later, Ning Fei replied, "Taking lives is nothing. The number of people I have killed is beyond your imagination."
"I guessed it. What a joke. You've never shown much of your pure kindness, and you've never even acted it out. Why would I care about this?" Duan Yunhong didn't seem to feel the pain of his cut finger, and continued, "Whether you want to save the world or destroy it, it's all up to you. Even if you want to revise it repeatedly, I'm willing to help you. But no matter what, it's not something you have to do. You are not the god of this world, and you have no responsibility to control its life and death, and it is not worthy of being a cage for you to bind yourself. Your broken management bureau is only responsible for luck, why are you responsible for the whole world?"
Ning Fei laughed sarcastically: "At this time, you still want to find an opportunity to belittle the Administration and ask me to betray the Administration and become a bandit?"
"No, although I look down on the Administration, I am suddenly grateful for its existence." Duan Yunhong also suddenly realized at a certain moment that perhaps one of the most important reasons why Ning Fei chose to be restrained by the Administration for so long and not leave was that he also longed for "self-rescue" in his heart.
The Administration does impose some constraints on the behavior of its members and also gives clear action goals. Ning Fei was driven by work and restricted by the rules and regulations of the administration, so he had much less time for daydreaming.
Thinking of this, Duan Yunhong added: "Don't defect. At least, before the constraints of this world on you are completely gone, you can be exploited by the Administration at ease."
"Fuck you..." Ning Fei was really amused by his ridiculous remarks this time. He couldn't help but curse, then suddenly pulled out the dagger.
Very direct and fast, but without any greeting, leaving Duan Yunhong no time to prepare mentally. Duan Yunhong only felt a sharp pain in his fingers and palms, and Ning Fei had already stood up from him.
He bent down, grabbed his collar, wiped the blood off both sides of the dagger, then stood up and put the dagger away.
After putting away the dagger, Ning Fei turned around and found that Duan Yunhong had not stood up yet. Not only did he lie there, he also held up his cut left palm and looked at it over and over again. Blood dripped onto the front of his clothes, leaving a small bloodstain.
Ning Fei kicked him speechlessly: "Why don't you get up? Are you trying to blackmail me?"
"I just suddenly remembered the third time we met." Duan Yunhong turned his palm towards him, showing him the scars on his palm and fingers. "You were covered in blood, but the wound on your hand was the most serious. It was also a cut from grabbing the sword, plus a few burns."
"Nonsense, I was covered in blood, there was no injury anywhere else."
"Then you grabbed the sword on purpose? That kind of charlatan can't hurt you at all, right?"
"...It's none of your business." Ning Fei felt that this guy was going to talk about some bullshit like "self-destruction" again. That was enough. So Ning Fei cut and ripped the hem of his clothes, then grabbed the strip of cloth and changed the subject: "It's just right, I'll take this opportunity to repay Mr. Duan for his kindness and bandage Mr. Duan as well."
Duan Yunhong actually stood up and bandaged him. Ning Fei's actions were rough. Rather than helping him stop the bleeding, it was more like using force to make him bleed more and feel more pain. Of course Duan Yunhong felt it, but he just kept a tense expression, as if it was just a minor pain and nothing to worry about.
Ning Fei was of course aware of his own strength. After tying him up, he saw Duan Yunhong pretending to be dead again and gave him a sarcastic smile.
After all this fuss, the action in the square was basically over. At least the chaos and noise had decreased a lot. I don’t know how many people died at the scene and how much blood was shed. Although Ning Fei saw the conflict scene and saw Shalai just now, he could not see the words written on the ground, nor did he know which noble Shalai had a grudge against. Fortunately, the casino’s information channels were still well-informed, and before long, someone came to tell them the first-hand news.
"Those people actually used torches to write on the ground, and poured kerosene on the ground to burn out the names!" The messenger sighed, "I've never seen names written like this. It is said that after the fire is over, the marks left on the ground are very deep and must be difficult to erase..."
Ning Fei interrupted him: "Who did you write to?"
"Oh!" The messenger quickly came back to his senses and responded, "This time they really are going to rebel -
"They wrote the names of kings and princes!"
