Xu Nian: "..."
For some reason, seeing him talking in his sleep, her heart clenched painfully.
Especially when she recalled the bloody and cruel things she did in her dreams, she was overwhelmed by guilt and heartache.
How strange, why would I have such a vivid dream for no reason?
She still vividly remembers the delicate feel of that skin, the dripping sound of blood, and the sound of a knife cutting through flesh.
People often say that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
But she never intended to dig out Xie Baiyu's heart like that!
The thought of those two morbid kisses made Xu Nian's face contort with a variety of emotions.
She wouldn't admit that she could do the kind of thing she dreamed of.
...
When Xie Baiyu woke up, Xu Nian was no longer in bed, and he instinctively went out to look for her.
The castle was still brightly lit, yet eerily quiet.
Without hesitation, Xie Baiyu went straight to the basement to look for Xu Nian.
The basement was still furnished with the same familiar items: a white single bed, a box of surgical instruments next to the bed, and Xu Nian standing beside it.
Her eyes were vacant, but she was unconsciously fiddling with the scalpel in her hand, and it was unclear what she was thinking!
"Niannian, what brings you here?" Xie Baiyu asked gently, a tender smile on her face.
Only in this way could he somewhat conceal his inappropriate emotions.
He desperately wanted to question Xu Nian about everything in the basement, but he was also afraid that if everything was exposed, his relationship with her would be completely destroyed.
He knew himself all too well; if she killed him simply to escape from him, he would imprison her in a frenzy.
He might do something uncontrollable that would hurt her, and he didn't want that.
He pretended that his original intention was also to be with her properly; he didn't want to put the cart before the horse.
"Xie Baiyu, I had a dream, and when I woke up I thought of coming here to see you. What about you?" Xu Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
She scrutinized Xie Baiyu with a critical gaze, and only when she met his eyes did the coldness in Xu Nian's eyes dissipate.
"I woke up and didn't see you, so I came looking for you." Xie Baiyu took Xu Nian's hand and took the scalpel from her hand.
As the scalpel was tossed back into the box, Xu Nian's smile remained, but her gaze towards Xie Baiyu now held a more scrutinizing quality.
"Stop looking, I really mean it." Xie Baiyu tapped Xu Nian's forehead with his index finger, and in the instant she was stunned, he lowered his head to ask for his good morning kiss.
The kiss was domineering and forceful, filled with a morbid possessiveness that made Xu Nian's scalp tingle.
When she was released, her eyes were filled with a misty haze, which stirred Xie Baiyu's heart.
He took a few deep breaths before he managed to suppress the urge to continue and led the person out of the basement.
Breakfast for two had already been laid out in the restaurant on the first floor.
As soon as Xie Baiyu and Xu Nian finished eating, two maids came out and cleared away the tableware.
The sound of high heels rang out, and Xu Nian looked up at the restaurant entrance, where she saw the graceful Xiao Yao appear with a smile in her eyes.
"Congratulations on entering the second day of the redemption-themed game! Have a great day!" After saying this, Xiao Yao blew Xu Nian another kiss, and then, under Xie Baiyu's murderous gaze, turned and left the restaurant unhurriedly.
She appeared quickly, and she left quickly too.
Xu Nian asked in surprise, "What did she mean just now? Is it just the two of us today?"
"We'll find out when we go out and take a look." Xie Baiyu and Xu Nian walked around the castle, exploring the entire castle.
Besides the two of them, I didn't see anyone else.
"So where did the other players go?" Xu Nian tapped her finger lightly on her arm.
At the same time, I was also thinking about the point of separating these players on the second day.
“They should still be inside this castle, but we are separated from them. They can’t see us, and we can’t see them,” Xie Baiyu said, staring at a mural in the corridor.
"Xie Baiyu, what exactly is your crime?" Xu Nian pressed again.
She simply didn't believe that a person's existence was inherently sinful; it sounded like a perfunctory excuse.
"Niannian, you'll know about my crimes later." Xie Baiyu kept her in suspense, his inscrutable expression making Xu Nian roll her eyes at him.
"Niannian, have you found your crime?" Xie Baiyu probed cautiously, his eyes filled with a hope that Xu Nian didn't understand.
“Found it, I…” Xu Nian’s words suddenly stopped, and she stared straight ahead.
Xie Baiyu noticed something was wrong and followed her gaze.
Instantly, the two instinctively took each other's hands, their fingers intertwined, their bond strong and close.
They exchanged a glance and, without saying a word, followed in the footsteps of the two people in front of them.
At the end of the corridor, another man (or woman) was making out with each other, their affectionate manner making Xu Nian and Xie Baiyu feel disgusted.
Are the two of them really that lovey-dovey when they're together?
The moment that thought crossed his mind, he saw the two people who were kissing so passionately suddenly burst into blood.
To be precise, it was the fake Xu Nian who stabbed the fake Xie Baiyu in the heart while the fake Xie Baiyu was engrossed in a kiss.
When the fake Xie Baiyu died, her eyes were full of confusion, and her deep, abyss-like eyes stared straight at the fake Xu Nian.
It was as if he was questioning her: Why did she kill him?
The fake Xu Nian didn't say anything, but used the knife that had pierced his heart to dig out the fake Xie Baiyu's heart.
Holding the heart, Xu Nian cried her eyes out, but still left with the heart in her arms, leaving behind only a cold corpse.
