Chapter 368 Monster Hospital (Sixty-Seven)
Although Bei Xi was still not quite clear about the situation, she instinctively believed Nan Huan and was really worried about him. Although she was deeply shocked by what Nan Huan said, the expression on her face quickly returned to normal. She even took two steps towards Nan Huan, wanting to personally confirm what was wrong with him.
But as she took two steps forward, Nan Huan shrank back. Her heart was clearly softened and she didn't want to back away. She just wanted to hold him tightly, but she had to keep a distance from him. Things were already developing in the time she controlled, and she didn't have much time left. She had to make Bei Xi believe something so that he could hold on after everything was settled.
"Don't you understand yet?" Nan Huan said coldly, with helplessness on his face. He had no choice but to look at Bei Xi with scrutiny, "We both came in here together. If I have been affected, why are you not hurt at all?"
Bei Xi's lips had turned a little pale. She seldom showed such a bewildered expression. Of course she had thought of this. She had thought of it when she found out that something was wrong with Nan Huan, so she was even more confused and at a loss.
She was certain that the Nan Huan standing opposite her was the other person himself and had not been replaced by anyone else. So it was impossible for the other person to be affected while she was not affected at all. Although they were in the same situation, she was still trying her best to find excuses for Nan Huan.
"Although I haven't figured out what went wrong, I don't believe a single word you said just now," Bei Xi said with a bit of viciousness, as if he was angry. "What's so great about evil thoughts? I've thought about a lot of things in my mind that you don't know."
"Even before I recovered my memory, I had imagined countless times that I didn't want you to focus your attention on anyone other than me. I didn't want you to spend even a little bit of thought on other people. It would be great if they didn't exist. There would only be you and me in this world. What a wonderful thing that would be."
Bei Xi stood there analyzing her own thoughts, "It's no big deal. I know that I'm wrong to think this way. I know that you care about those lives, especially after I recovered my memory. In such a short time, I also had complaints. Why did it have to be me? Why can't you just ignore everything and be with me? What the world has become, what does it have to do with me?"
She didn't want to say these words, because she knew that her fate was already determined and could not be changed, so she didn't want Nan Huan to hear these words. She just wanted to leave a good impression in Nan Huan's heart, wanted him to remember her smiling face forever, and wanted him not to have any burden because of her, so those dark thoughts were never revealed to him.
But now I don’t know if she was stimulated by what Nan Huan said, or because she wanted to prove that even if Nan Huan had such an idea, it was no big deal, because she had the same idea, or maybe she just felt that she didn’t have much time left and wanted to tell the other person her true thoughts.
"But I know this is your responsibility, a responsibility you can't escape from since you were born, so I choose to support you. Even if I want to be with you more, I choose to help you fulfill my responsibility. What's more, you have already chosen me once a long time ago, so it's no big deal. Besides, the years we have spent together are already very long. In the days to come, as long as you still think of me occasionally, that's enough."
If Nan Huan hadn't been holding back, she would have burst into tears by now, but she knew she couldn't cry. She had come to this point, and any hesitation would lead to failure. She couldn't do that. After Bei Xi's mumblings were over, Nan Huan took a long time to find her voice, "These two things are fundamentally different, don't you notice?"
Nan Huan's voice was very soft, but in the dark air-filled space, any tiny movement and sound would be infinitely magnified. "You like me, so you have a monopoly on me and want to be with me completely exclusively, but I'm different. Have you ever thought that I may not have liked you at all, and everything back then was just a show, and I have been regretting it all the time since that day?"
Bei Xi felt more and more uneasy. She always felt that the countdown above her head was about to reach zero, but she couldn't be sure where this sense of urgency came from. In addition, after Nan Huan said this, there was a moment when Bei Xi's ears were empty. She even felt as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of those words.
"Don't tease me," Bei Xi insisted. "Although I don't know what's wrong with you and why you deliberately say such things, if you continue with this topic, I won't believe a word you say from now on, and, and..."
Bei Xi's face showed a painful expression, but after she said "and" twice in a row, she couldn't say the rest of the words.
And it won't be long before I disappear from this world. Why do you still say such things to me? Don't you even leave me a good memory?
It is for this reason that Bei Xi has to consider everything she says carefully. She does not want to leave any bad impressions for Nan Huan after she leaves.
But Nan Huan, who was usually very close to him, seemed to deliberately not understand what he said. She even didn't bother to look at Bei Xi again, "Don't you understand? Thousands of years ago, it was just a play performed for you, for today's curtain call. You must be willing. You and those monsters should not have appeared in this world. You are lucky enough to live to this day because your hands are not stained with the blood of innocent people..."
"Not only today, but also on that day thousands of years ago, I was willing. If it was for these, you wouldn't have to wait until today. I've said it before, after what you said just now, I won't believe anything you say." Bei Xi interrupted Nan Huan before he could finish his words. Although her face was still very pale, she carefully analyzed every loophole in Nan Huan's words, trying to figure out Nan Huan's true intentions.
Nan Huan did not expect that the other party would catch her off guard like this. While carefully feeling the existence of some kind of power in the black air, she looked at Bei Xi who was standing in front of her aggressively with a bit of a smile or two. She really did not want to use this last alternative method, but she seemed to have no more time.
“Oh, what a pity,” just as Nan Huan was hesitating, the familiar voice of the evil god in the darkness sounded again, “I don’t know whether I should be happy for you or sad for you. Even though she knew the truth, she still chose to stay with you. It’s a pity that you won’t have another chance…”
Before she finished her words, golden spots of light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black sky. Like a stream of water, they gathered from all directions and began to rush towards Nanhuan continuously. The golden lights were surrounded by black air, and it was obvious that they were tempered from the last piece of heart fragment.
It is obvious that their roots are on Nan Huan's body, but now they can't feel Nan Huan's existence at all. Instead, they attack him as a complete enemy. The heart fragments on Nan Huan's body can sense the opponent's strength and breath. They regard him as their own kind and cannot fight back at all. In other words, the golden protective circle on Nan Huan's body will think that they are the same kind when those light spots rush over, and let them pierce Nan Huan's heart directly.
Bei Xi stood in front of Nan Huan without thinking, but as soon as she moved, she seemed to be restrained by some force. She could only catch a glimpse of Nan Hua waving at her out of the corner of her eye, and then she seemed to want to reach out and pat her shoulder, but she hesitated for a moment before raising her hand and finally reached directly towards the light spots rushing towards her.
At the same time, Bei Xi felt the power deep in her body, which seemed to have slowly begun at this moment. Even though she knew that Nan Huan's power was very strong and Shen Qi's power was very strong, this familiar feeling gave her a bad premonition.
And just as she was trembling with fear and worried that Nan Huan would be in danger, she discovered that on the other side, Nan Huan stretched his hand into the light spot, stirring soft light waves in the air, like waves, creating layers of ripples, spreading in all directions with her as the center, and directly submerging the light spots into the ripples.
The two collided, stirring up thousands of waves and bursting out with an almost white light that stung people's eyes so much that they couldn't open them. But soon those spots of light, like machines waiting to be matched, found their destined sense of belonging, opened their arms and accepted the golden light from Nan Huan's body, and at the same time extended them to those wisps of black air.
The originally dim space was instantly illuminated.
The black air that was touched did not disappear immediately, but seemed to be infected. It slowly transformed from black to golden yellow, and finally to white.
"How is this possible?" Bei Xi finally saw the evil god's current state on the other half illuminated by the white light. In order to completely get rid of Nan Huan, she had to spread her flesh and blood mixed with Nan Huan's heart fragments into this space, but the heart seemed to have become a connection point, which trapped Nan Huan while also being counterattacked by the other party, making her unable to move.
"What's impossible?" Nan Huan let out a long breath. "How does it feel to have a fake one and hide it in your arms for so many years? Hmm?"
The cold expression on her face had long disappeared, and even her pupils that were filled with black had returned to normal at some point.
Man Wugui, who was guarding the evil god, finally realized that something was wrong. She rushed forward and was about to cut off the connection between the black air and the evil god, but the weapons condensed by the black air had no effect on the evil god's flesh and blood.
"Get out of here quickly..." The evil god seemed to realize something, and his calm expression finally revealed an anxious look, and he yelled at Man Wugui.
But the latter did not retreat at all, and finally even began to use the power of the evil god in his body to provide strength for the local area, hoping to let the evil god break free from Nanhuan's restraints. But unfortunately, the moment the black air connected, Man Wugui was also temporarily restricted by the golden light on Nanhuan's body.
“No wonder I can read the remaining thoughts in your heart fragment.” The evil god’s expression had completely turned cold after seeing that Man Wugui was also controlled. “You took great pains to leave a false heart fragment just to suppress us again, but don’t forget that the evil thoughts in this world will never disappear, just like we will never disappear…”
"I know this better than anyone else," Nan Huan said, sweat already forming on his forehead. "I have been to every corner of this world for so many years, so I know this better than anyone else. So my original goal was not to destroy you..."
Nan Huan said this and looked at Bei Xi deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but he avoided her gaze. However, everyone saw that the golden light on her body was getting stronger and stronger, and the black air had begun to transform, along with the black air associated with the evil god and Man Wugui.
"Anan, let me go, let me go," Bei Xi finally realized something was wrong, because she found that she could not release the power that belonged to Nan Huan in her body. Not only that, because the power in Nan Huan was still constantly increasing, she finally felt the secret beating sound inside her body, which seemed to always maintain the same frequency as Nan Huan's heartbeat.
"You're crazy, you're really crazy," the evil god was restrained by her and couldn't move. If she had thought just now that Nan Huan would just suppress her once more, after all, she had confirmed that Nan Huan's heart was indeed incomplete and did not have that much energy to destroy them directly. As long as it did not disappear completely, there was still a possibility of recovery. However, seeing that Nan Huan's rising body seemed to begin to have cracks, and the black air that was almost turning white, she suddenly lost confidence in her heart, "Your heart is still missing a piece. If you forcefully purify us, you will die too. Your heart has long been torn into pieces. If it happens again, you will completely disappear from this world..."
The evil god roared, seemingly not understanding what Nan Huan was thinking, "Have you forgotten that monsters are nourished and grown by evil thoughts? After you purify these evil thoughts, how can she survive?"
"Where do you think the last piece of my heart is?" Nan Huan said the most infuriating words in the calmest tone without caring at all, "Do you really think that I did all these things just to spend more time with Bei Xi? You are wrong. My heart fragment has already taken root in her body and provided her with nourishment. She no longer needs these evil thoughts. She will live well with my hope for her..."
Bei Xi's expression turned cold as soon as the evil god started talking, and it got darker with every word Nan Huan uttered. She finally understood what she had been thinking was wrong. After she recovered her memory and became a monster again, why did she not react to the infection of the black energy and did not have the urge to kill in her heart?
It turned out that the piece of heart that Nan Huan was missing had been firmly embedded in her body. That was why Nan Huan could easily control her and prevent her from interfering with her. Why couldn't she take the initiative to release the power that belonged to Nan Huan? Because the other party's power had already been integrated into her flesh and blood in every encounter and knowing each other, severing the connection between her and the evil thoughts. From then on, she was truly free.
Her eyes fell on Nan Huan, tears in her eyes. She had seen that Nan Huan's body seemed unable to withstand too much force, and began to crack like a piece of clay. However, the cracked places did not bleed like ordinary humans, but leaked more light.
"Anan, let me go, let me go," Beixi's voice had been hoarse from the shouting just now. Nan Huan seemed not to hear her shouting. Ever since she told the evil god the truth, she didn't dare to look at Beixi again, for fear of being soft-hearted and acting on impulse.
"I just want to look at you and hug you," Bei Xi's voice had calmed down, but there was a hint of hysteria inside, "You have already made all the preparations. The words you just said were also meant to make me hate you and want me to live well."
Bei Xi was very smart. In such a short time, she had understood Nan Huan's painstaking efforts. "But you didn't expect that I didn't want to hate you. So what else did you prepare? What did you want to do when you raised your hand just now?"
The two of them kept looking at each other from a distance. Nan Huan could hear her voice. She moved her lips, wanting to explain, but said nothing.
Bei Xi saw that she still didn't speak, and when she spoke again, her voice was already filled with sorrow. Nan Huan used the power that belonged to her to control herself. Bei Xi couldn't hurt her body, and the only part of her body that could move was her mouth. "You've made all the preparations, but haven't you thought of a goodbye message? Do you want me to spend the rest of my life remembering the words you just said about not loving me? How could you do this?"
She was already in tears, but she looked towards the direction of Nanhuan without giving up.
Nan Huan could hear Bei Xi's voice. She had been enduring it very well, but until she heard Bei Xi's last complaint, it was so light, yet it hit her heart so hard. Her heart, which had already been broken into pieces, still felt pain. "I'm sorry, what I said just now was not what I meant. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Please don't blame me, okay? I should make you forget me, but I can't bear to do that. I want you to remember me, and I want you to live well..."
Nan Huan's cheeks were already covered with tears. She kept apologizing. She wanted to reach out and hug Bei Xi again. She suddenly regretted what she had said to Bei Xi just now, but she hated herself. Why did she take her hand back just now? Why did she let Bei Xi remember so much pain.
