"What?" Yin Yang's expression changed drastically. "You, what did you say?"
Do I brush past Xuan Qing'er every day?
How could this be? He hadn't rested while waiting for Xuan Qing'er, and he had verified the whereabouts of all the dead, but there was still no trace of her. He absolutely could not have missed her!
"Impossible! You're trying to fool me again!" Yin Yang said angrily.
"Hmph, why would I lie to you? Xuan Qing'er's reincarnation has actually been right under your nose all along without your knowledge. Yin Yang, you're really stupid!" Xu Hun sneered.
Yin Yang's eyes flickered, and he kept recalling the people around him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw a death god dressed in white who vaguely resembled Xuan Qing'er.
Seeing Yin Yang's expression of sudden realization, the illusory soul laughed and said, "It seems you've already guessed who it is. Look at the time, it's almost dark. If you go to see her now, you might still make it in time..."
Yin Yang's expression changed slightly. He turned to Mo Chen and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mo Chen, I have to go back."
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen stared wide-eyed at Yin Yang, thinking he had misheard, but the truth was that Yin Yang was really going to abandon him and leave.
He was so angry he cursed inwardly: "Brother, if you go back now, that ghost will definitely tear me apart! That's so unfair! You should see me through to the end, why did you only save me halfway?"
Who the hell can I complain to?
Yin Yang looked at the illusory soul and said coldly, "If you are lying to me, I will definitely not let you off!"
Xu Hun chuckled and said, "No, no, as long as you don't interfere in this matter anymore, I won't report you. You can go with peace of mind."
Yin Yang left without a word, leaving Mo Chen dumbfounded: Damn it! You just sold me out like that?! Could you possibly rip me off any further?!
Teammates who prioritize romance over friendship shouldn't carry the team!
Seeing Mo Chen's helpless expression, the illusory soul couldn't help but burst into laughter. "What's wrong? Mo Chen, why don't you obediently surrender? For the sake of the past, I won't shatter your soul. As long as you are willing to submit to me, we can treat each other as ruler and subject, and I will definitely not mistreat you!"
"Pah! That sounds nice, but you just want me dead, don't you? I'd rather die than submit to you!" Mo Chen cursed as he backed away, then gritted his teeth, turned around, and quickly ran into the basement after saying the last word.
Seeing Mo Chen flee, the illusory soul was in no hurry to give chase. Instead, it sneered, "Trying to struggle when you're at your last gasp? You're truly overestimating yourself!"
After saying that, he followed at a leisurely pace.
Mo Chen ran into the basement, hoping to buy time. He had originally planned to develop this area into an underground shopping mall, but now it not only served as Hua Yuxian's final resting place, but also threatened to become his own. Even though death seemed inevitable, Mo Chen was determined to fight!
The map of the basement flashed through his mind. Mo Chen calculated and ran in one direction. The ethereal soul that came in later was not in a hurry to chase after him, but instead laughed loudly and sinisterly, "Mo Chen, you have nowhere to run. Obediently hand over your life to me!"
Mo Chen ran forward without looking back. He knew that the illusory soul had not found him yet. As long as he hid and waited for Gu Liyan to arrive, the truth would come out.
Mo Chen moved with extreme caution in the darkness, afraid of making even the slightest sound that would alert the ethereal soul. However, the roadblocks in the darkness were countless, making it inevitable that he would make noise.
The illusory soul sneered and shouted, "Mo Chen, I already know where you are! Come out obediently!"
Mo Chen quickened his pace as he heard the voice of the illusory soul getting closer. The sound of his footsteps became more and more frequent, but he dared not slow down at all. Just as he passed an intersection, something suddenly flew from behind him. Mo Chen had no time to dodge and was hit hard on the back.
"Pfft!" Mo Chen coughed up blood, his blood surging within him. Not far behind him came the voice of the illusory soul, "The human body is so fragile, Mo Chen. If you don't want to suffer endless torment, then obediently accept your death!"
Mo Chen gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued to run.
The eerie laughter of the ethereal spirit grew closer, and Mo Chen dared not stop for a moment. He had fallen countless times in the darkness, but he managed to get up by holding onto the wall and continue his escape...
The ethereal soul following behind saw Mo Chen's figure not far ahead and sneered, "You're courting death!"
He raised his hand, and the steel pipe beside him soared into the air. With a flick of his wrist, he threw it, and it flew towards Mo Chen.
"ah--"
Mo Chen's chest was pierced by a steel pipe, and a large amount of blood kept seeping out. Within a few breaths, Mo Chen was covered in blood, and his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
The ethereal spirit moved and appeared in front of him, sneering, "Mo Chen, the cat-and-mouse game is over."
Mo Chen watched as the illusory soul vomited blood with every breath, looking utterly miserable.
The illusory soul sneered, "To be honest, I'm not angry at all that you betrayed me and fled the Nine Springs Realm. But when you betrayed Gu Liyan, did you ever think about what would happen to you if he and I didn't forgive you?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood. Betraying Gu Liyan was a pain he could never atone for in his entire life. Even though Gu Liyan had forgiven him, he still could not forgive himself.
Atonement is easier said than done.
A steel pipe was inserted into his chest, slowly robbing him of his life. He was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Is everything coming to an end...?
Mo Chen looked at the room not far away and felt relieved. "This is for the best. If I were to see you again... I wouldn't know how to face you..."
Mo Chen's consciousness became somewhat blurred. He recalled the scene of Mo Hua signing a contract with him, the scene of signing a contract with Gu Liyan, and... Hua Yuxian.
So it turns out that people really do think about the things they regret before they die.
