Chapter 475
Rong Rong habitually played with Lei Ke's fingers, when suddenly, for a moment, her whole body stiffened and her mind went blank.
"What's wrong?" Lei Ke asked in a hoarse voice. Just as he was starting to wonder, Rong Rong suddenly went limp again.
"nothing."
Her soft voice sounded normal, so Rex didn't press her further. Instead, he gently kissed the top of Rong Rong's head.
He had no idea how fast Rong Rong's heart was beating or what kind of fear was in her eyes.
Just now, Rong Rong suddenly noticed that the protruding finger bones on Si Yuxiao's fingers were gone. She had been reluctant to touch Si Yuxiao and hadn't noticed this until today.
Rong Rong subconsciously avoided mentioning the matter, and showed no intention of asking Si Yuxiao about it.
It was at this moment that Rong Rong made up her mind to listen to Shen Chexuan's advice and go back to that day. She wanted to find out the truth; she could no longer run away.
Today is the day I was hypnotized by Shen Chexuan and sent back to the past.
The room was quiet and cozy, with a light fragrance filling the air, allowing Rongrong to relax both physically and mentally.
Rong Rong lay on the recliner, covered with a thin blanket. She closed her eyes as if she were asleep, and heard Chen Chexuan's clean and warm voice in her ears.
"Today is your boyfriend Si Yuxiao's birthday. He worked overtime all day, and you brought him a carefully prepared gift, wanting to surprise him..."
Rongrong rang the doorbell and held up the flowers in her hand high, hiding her face behind them.
The door to the bar opened, and someone said, "Happy birthday, Xiao Ge!"
Rong Rong pushed the flowers forward and then rushed over to hug the other person.
Then, she saw Si Yuxiao lying in a pool of blood in the very center of the living room.
Rong Rong's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracted, and a tremendous fear instantly swept over her.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and just as she was about to be overwhelmed by fear and suffocate, a gentle voice suddenly entered her mind.
"Rongrong, don't be afraid, I'm right here with you. I will protect you. No one can hurt you. Be brave."
The voice seemed to have a magical power, and Rong Rong gradually relaxed. Although her heart was still pounding and she desperately wanted to escape, she tried her best to calm herself down.
"Yes! You're great! Now open your eyes wide and observe your boyfriend carefully. What do you notice?"
Rong Rong obeyed and tried her best to look, but unfortunately, she was too far away from Si Yuxiao to see him clearly.
Rong Rong didn't forget to deal with the murderer either. She stood up, tilted her head back, and looked empty-eyed.
"Brother Xiao, why aren't you surprised at all? Wouldn't it be better if I came to keep you company?"
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Rong Rong still turned pale the moment she saw the other person's face.
His fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes gradually became moist.
Rongrong bit her lip to stop herself from crying, but a miracle happened.
Suddenly, the murderer's face became blurry, as if through a layer of mist. Rong Rong could no longer see the other person's appearance, and the other person seemed to have become an NPC in her eyes.
The fear subsided instantly, and Rong Rong's complexion gradually returned to normal.
"That's good." A gentle voice murmured, and Rong Rong knew that it was Shen Chexuan who was helping her.
Off-screen, Ling Jue scoffed, but said nothing.
It's better to cover his face. He doesn't want to become a psychological shadow for Rong Rong. How will he pursue Rong Rong in the future?
Ideally, Shen Chexuan could erase the psychological damage he caused to Rong Rong, which would save him a lot of trouble!
Ling Jue grinned, while Si Yuxiao glanced at him disdainfully.
Si Yuxiao did kick Ling Jue out of the lounge last time, but who is Ling Jue? He's shameless enough to barge back in the next day.
On the screen, Rong Rong took the initiative to pull Ling Jue to the sofa. In this dream, she was much more proactive than the day before.
Rong Rong knew that everything she was seeing now was a record of that day from her subconscious.
She is the master of this dream; she can do whatever she wants.
Rong Rong has become much bolder, thanks to Shen Chexuan's repeated reminders and constant reassurances.
Rong Rong's assumption was correct; the scene she was in was indeed constructed based on her subconscious memories. It could be said that all the arrangements in this scene were real, exactly the same as the situation on the day the crime occurred.
Rong Rong is indeed the master of this dream, but Shen Chexuan is the true god of this world. Shen Chexuan can control everyone in this world, including Rong Rong.
In this world, Shen Chexuan could kill Rong Rong with ease; Shen Chexuan was the one who could truly do whatever he wanted.
In the past, during the final assessment, Shen Chexuan would always take the challenger into a dream and then kill them.
Even though the challengers knew he could hypnotize them and tried every possible way to avoid him, it was still no use.
He seems to be everywhere, able to transport people into dreams anytime, anywhere.
But now, Shen Chexuan has no intention of harming Rong Rong at all; in fact, he is doing his best to eliminate Rong Rong's fear.
Treating Rong Rong like a precious treasure made the viewers watching the live stream exclaim that this was true favoritism.
This time, Rong Rong didn't cower on the sofa in fear. Instead, she bravely stepped out and walked towards Si Yuxiao, who was lying on the ground.
In an instant, she was struck by a powerful force again, but at the critical moment, a warm, large hand grasped hers, and courage flowed continuously from that palm.
Finally, Rong Rong carefully observed the injured Si Yuxiao, and in doing so, she discovered a detail she had previously overlooked.
The murderer's knife was plunged straight into Si Yuxiao's heart; under such circumstances, Si Yuxiao had no hope of survival.
In other words, Si Yuxiao should already be dead.
Then... who was Si Yuxiao, whom I met later?
Rong Rong staggered backward, her spirits taking another heavy blow. Before she could take a few steps back, someone caught her and put their arm around her waist.
The man's hand reached towards her abdomen from behind.
"What's wrong? What did you see?"
The nightmarish voice from the depths of her memory rang out again, and Rong Rong's hair stood on end instantly. It was the murderer holding her, and the other party suspected that she could see, that she had seen Si Yuxiao's corpse.
"No, no!" Rong Rong gripped Ling Jue's hand tightly, which was placed on her lower abdomen, so tightly that she almost scratched Ling Jue's hand.
Rong Rong seemed to be drawing strength, or perhaps venting the hatred in her heart.
Off-screen, Ling Jue frowned in confusion. He didn't understand why Shen Chexuan hadn't appeared to comfort Rong Rong, who was clearly terrified.
Si Yuxiao was also somewhat surprised, but he kept his eyes glued to Rong Rong on the screen.
Suddenly, Rong Rong froze for a moment, then her face showed disbelief. Just yesterday, she seemed to have shaken the same hand.
Rong Rong quickly turned around to face Ling Jue.
This time, Rong Rong seemed to be able to see the other person's face clearly, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
"So it was you?"
