After sending the Black Mass video to Lin Shiyu, Zhuang Li instructed, "I'll wait for her on the rooftop. Help me stop those who are stranded. I just discovered they've installed a Trojan horse program on Lin Shiyu's phone. They'll definitely come to stop me."
He shook his head and sighed, "These people have exhausted every possible way to break their despair. Even when the mission failed, they still tried. Unfortunately, it's no use. Their direction was wrong from the beginning."
Zi Wei, Xiao Dao and Huang Mao couldn't help but recall the thin, numb and lifeless figures they saw on the balcony when they first came.
Behind these figures, there are also hidden stories of despair.
"I hope we don't become like them." Xiaodao couldn't help but murmur.
"I'm here, that won't happen." Zhuang Li comforted softly, then walked into the bathroom, fixed his hair in front of the dressing mirror, and then changed his casual clothes into a gorgeous black tuxedo with a snap of his fingers.
At this moment, he looked like a nobleman who had walked out of a medieval oil painting, with an indescribable aura of dignity and mystery surrounding him.
He used the creative power given by the magic mirror to the fullest extent.
Huangmao stared at him in amazement and asked, "Captain, why are you dressed so casually? There's no need to be so grand when attending the king's banquet, right?"
"I dressed even more grandly for my own wedding." Zhuang Li kissed Xuan Ming's thin lips and whispered, "Those stranded people who came to disrupt the situation will be left to you."
"Of course, just focus on your work and leave the rest to me." Xuan Ming stroked the back of his neck and warned, "Don't take any risks. If that doesn't work, we'll find another way."
Zhuang Li wiggled his index finger back and forth, his tone full of confidence: "The word 'lose' has never appeared in my dictionary."
Xuanmian couldn't help but smile when he thought of his "great achievements".
"Let's go and wait on the rooftop." Zhuang Li took the lead and walked towards the door.
Everyone hurried to follow.
At the same time, a young man called Smoker's phone and launched into a furious curse: "Fuck you! Those five people sent the Black Mass video to Lin Shiyu! Smoker, didn't you tell them about this taboo?"
The smoker was stunned for a second, then started cursing as well: "Of course I did! I even brought them to see Yu Chuan's miserable condition. How would I know they were crazy? Fuck them! Don't drag everyone down with you even if you want to die! You idiots! Hurry up and get here, we're going to start the elimination plan! That tallest man is incredibly powerful, call everyone who's still capable of fighting over here!"
This is a preparation for a fatal blow.
They would rather kill these stupid new players than let Lin Shiyu commit suicide.
"We'll be there right away!" the young man hung up the phone.
Lin Shiyu finished cooking, walked into the room, and carefully called out to her husband, who was exhausted from domestic violence and sleeping soundly in bed, "Jizu, Jizu, it's time for breakfast."
"Get out!" Liu Jizu cursed impatiently.
"Ji Zu, I'm going to the police station to pick up my son's body. Breakfast is on the table. If it's cold, you can heat it up in the microwave before eating." Lin Shiyu said gently, as if she had completely forgotten who caused the bruises at the corners of her eyes and the wounds at the corners of her mouth, and she had even forgotten that her son was not only hers, but also her husband's.
To claim the body, the couple should go together.
Liu Jizu covered his head with a quilt and did not tell his wife that he had taken the body away.
Lin Shiyu changed into a more modest outfit, grabbed her bag and phone, and went outside. For the first time ever, she didn't invite her mother-in-law to dinner, because she knew full well that her son's death was caused by her negligence.
If she hadn't gone out to play mahjong, and if she had locked the door when she left, her son wouldn't have run out.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyu's gentle and beautiful face twisted into a hideous and terrifying expression. However, in just a moment, she regained her gentle expression and walked to the entrance to change her shoes. At this moment, her cell phone rang. She took it out and looked at it, and her mind suddenly went blank.
Five minutes later, she was kneeling in the hallway, exhausted, her eyes filled with tears of fear, anger, and helplessness. With shaking hands, she called the police station and confirmed that her husband had taken the body away.
Then she staggered to her feet, holding onto the wall, stumbled into the bedroom, threw herself in front of the bed, took a deep breath, and asked in a trembling voice: "Ji Zu, I just called the police station, and they said you took Yuan Yuan's body away. Where did you take him? Can you give him back to me?"
When she said the last sentence, tears finally fell from her eyes and her voice was filled with extremely humble pleading.
Liu Jizu could no longer endure it. He opened his ferocious eyes, slapped him with all his might, and sneered, "Where I took him is none of your business. He's my son, I can do whatever I want with him. Whether I bury him, throw him away, or eat him, it's none of your business!"
Lin Shiyu was blown away, the back of her head hitting the wall, and a lot of blood flowed out. However, the severe pain did not disturb her thoughts. She suddenly realized that her husband's last words "eat it" might not be nonsense.
Seeing her husband jump out of bed and walk towards her with a violent look on his face, Lin Shiyu quickly got up and ran away.
For the first time in her life, facing her husband's domestic violence, she chose to flee because she had something more important on her mind: she had to confirm whether the video was real.
She quickly ran to the activity room, but Xiaodao had already broken the big lock before she arrived.
So she rushed into the activity room smoothly and saw the hexagram magic circle in the video, blood all over the floor and the remaining candles. Yuanyuan's body disappeared, but the ground was littered with broken bones with traces of human teeth gnawing on them.
Lin Shiyu picked up something that looked like a finger bone, and tears flowed from her red eyes.
At this moment, all the horrific traces left here have confirmed the authenticity of yesterday's video. Her husband was the mastermind behind this tragedy! Her husband killed her son, hollowed him out, sacrificed him, and then ate him!
Lin Shiyu slowly covered her mouth with her trembling hands, making violent retching sounds and sad sobs.
There were no words to describe her feelings at this moment. Despair? Anger? Grief?
No, her feelings were far deeper and more painful than these words could express. She cried heartbreakingly, frantically gathering the broken bones on the ground into her arms, and called out mournfully.
Shouts of "Yuanyuan" came from the activity room, like wails from hell.
Xiaodao stood outside the activity room and listened quietly. Suddenly, he also wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Several taskers walked towards him, holding sharp blades in their hands and murderous intent in their eyes.
Xiaodao sneered and walked towards the nearby open space, stretching his muscles as he walked. Then he pulled out a long sword with a cold gleam from his palm. He hadn't fought a good battle in a long time, and he missed the feeling of blood splattering everywhere.
Lin Shiyu staggered out of the activity room, completely ignoring the group of people in the open space, and ran straight home.
The veteran player who was struggling with Xiaodao could only watch her helplessly.
If Lin Shiyu becomes depressed and wants to jump off the building, no one can stop her except the new player.
On the rooftop, Smoker and his companions were locked in a fierce battle with Xuanming, Ziwei, and Huangmao. They tried repeatedly to circumvent the three men's encirclement and abduct Zhuang Li, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop, but each attempt failed. They intended to use Zhuang Li as a hostage to force Xuanming to take Lin Shiyu home.
However, they were unable to break through Xuanming's protective circle. This man was too powerful. He only used his left hand to deal with everyone's attacks the entire time, and never raised his right hand. It was obvious that he was restraining himself.
He didn't want to kill, he was just defending himself. If he was completely enraged, the fight could be over in a second.
The smoker shouted breathlessly, "If you can persuade Lin Shiyu to go home, we will stop!"
Zhuang Li stood with his back to the crowd and did not answer a single word.
He didn't respond, so Xuan Ming and the others naturally kept silent.
The smoker roared in frustration, "Are you crazy? What good will it do you to force Lin Shiyu to death? You will be trapped here forever!"
She had never seen such a stupid and vicious person!
Zhuang Li remained silent. The cold wind ruffled his tuxedo, making his silhouette appear even more mysterious. As the thick fog gradually enveloped him, his slender figure and the rustling hem of his coat transformed into the image of a demon with a pointed tail.
This thick fog could not swallow him up, but instead seemed to be a cradle that nurtured him. He was a devil born of despair.
Just then, a series of footsteps came from the stairs. It was Lin Shiyu.
Xuan Ming immediately raised his right hand, which he had never used, and punched the Smoker and the others one by one, knocking them down quickly. The severe pain in their abdomens made them unable to move before they could even groan.
Only then did Smoker and the others realize that Xuanming hadn't used his full strength. His combat power definitely exceeded the upper limit of SSS! What on earth was he?
Madmen are not scary, but madmen who have the power and don't care about the consequences are scary! This group of people are all fucking crazy!
The smoker, twitching in pain, cursed angrily and weakly in his heart, his bloodshot eyes staring straight at the stairs.
Lin Shiyu walked out from there like a wandering soul, staggering and swaying towards the edge of the rooftop.
She wants to commit suicide!
The smoker, who couldn't touch her at all, squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Stop her, please! My companion will die, he will die! Many people will die! Please!"
The smoker who had not shed tears for many years finally shed two lines of tears of despair at this moment.
However, no one responded to her.
Xuanming was like an impassable wall, blocking their path. Zi Wei and Huang Mao stood silently in the corner, watching Lin Shiyu walk step by step towards the brink of death.
Smoker and her companions couldn't help but reveal expressions of gnashing hatred. If they had known these people were this crazy, they would have killed them the moment the dungeon opened!
Seeing Zhuang Li standing on the railing, Lin Shiyu was stunned.
Zhuang Li turned around and asked with a chuckle, "Are you here to jump off the building?"
This sentence is as casual as a greeting, just like two people occasionally meeting on the street and saying to each other, "Have you eaten?"
Lin Shiyu's expression grew increasingly confused, but she continued to advance toward the edge of the rooftop. She didn't respond to Zhuang Li's words, but simply clumsily climbed up the railing, standing on the brink of death.
She gazed into the distance, as she did every day, trying to find some unique scenery, but like every day before, she could see nothing. The deep, dark fog, like her life, was devoid of any light.
There is despair everywhere, endless despair...
Tears rolled down her cheeks and she slowly loosened her grip on the railing.
At this moment, the hearts of Smoker and the others jumped into their throats, and they screamed with all their might: "No!"
Yet, their so-called full strength was nothing more than a series of subtle groans. Xuan Ming skillfully controlled the extent of his damage, rendering them unable to disrupt the situation but also safe from death. This ability demonstrated the unfathomable depth of Xuan Ming's power.
Just when the hearts of the smokers and others were about to burst, Zhuang Li suddenly said, "Are you willing to die like this? You guessed right, your son was indeed killed by Wang Xiaodan."
He glanced at Lin Shiyu and chuckled, "Did you know? When you were crying in despair downstairs, Wang Xiaodan's refrigerator was hiding your son's internal organs."
Lin Shiyu's hands, which had already been loosened, suddenly gripped the railing tightly. Her face, which seemed numb due to despair, gradually twisted into an angry shape.
Zhuang Li gazed into the distance and said nonchalantly, "Since you're going to die, why not take the people you hate with you?"
Lin Shiyu's body began to tremble slightly. She hated Wang Xiaodan, of course she hated him. But she couldn't take anyone away. Years of abuse had reduced her dignity and self-respect to dust.
She shook her head and sobbed, "I can't do this."
"Did you see the scene where your husband turned into a devil? Becoming a devil gives you great power. Becoming a devil can fulfill the wishes that you most desire but are unable to fulfill."
Zhuang Li held out his hand and coaxed softly, "So, do you want to make a deal with me?"
"What?" Lin Shiyu was stunned as she looked at this incredibly beautiful hand. She didn't understand what was being said, but she felt her blood boiling at the incitement within.
Of course, she had many unfulfilled wishes and unfinished tasks, but she knew how useless she was. Her life was filled with nothing but loss and failure.
"Let's make a deal with the devil. How about turning yourself into a devil?" Zhuang Li said as he stepped out of the rooftop.
Such behavior is tantamount to suicide.
Lin Shiyu was so scared that she covered her mouth and screamed, but her face changed color in the next second.
This man, dressed in a tuxedo and radiating an air of nobility and mystery, suddenly unfolded a pair of enormous black wings, hovering in mid-air. His crimson lips curled up in an intriguing smile, his handsome, bewitching face radiating a sinister aura amidst the thick fog.
He is actually a devil!
Lin Shiyu was stunned.
Smoker: "Fuck! What is this? What the fuck is this?"
