Chapter 150 Night Candle Rules 28 "I think I've really fallen in love with you..."
The persistent physical discomfort greatly affected Nanmen Jue's mood. She stared at the girl whose pupils were magnified and whose signals were more obvious, and gave a slight cold smile.
Wei Chongru and Mo Gui were both silent, so her cold laugh was quite obvious. They both looked over, about to ask something, when they saw Nanmen Jue leave without even taking a candle, opening the door and striding out.
A moment later, she returned, but not alone.
She threw the struggling person in her arms to the ground, and both of them stared in disbelief.
It's not too surprising that Yu Wanyan didn't die. After all, even the two of them survived. Yu Wanyan was, after all, an orange-level player, and one with very strange and unpredictable methods.
It's strange that she followed them and was even found by Nanmen Jue himself. What was this girl after? Did she want to die faster?
"Let go... Ah! Nanmen Jue, you heartless bastard, I helped you once, and this is how you treat me?"
Yu Wanyan scrambled to her feet and started cursing at Nanmen Jue. Only her voice could be heard in the room. After cursing for a couple of minutes, she suddenly felt that the surroundings were too quiet. She shut her mouth in silence and suddenly felt that Nanmen Jue's gaze was not right.
Even when Nanmen Jue revealed murderous intent in her beautiful eyes, she was still full of vitality. A spirit supported her, making her even more stunning and beautiful as her murderous intent intensified.
Now, Nanmen Jue's face, almost transparently white, was illuminated by the flickering candlelight. Her pupils were deep, like those of a gloomy, malevolent ghost. Her eyes were extremely cold. If before, the way she looked at her was murderous, now it was as if she were looking at a dead person.
That look in her eyes stunned the lawless Yu Wanyan. All her words seemed to be stuck in her throat by an invisible hand, and she retreated in fear until her back hit the shelf with a loud crash.
"Is it a little too late to be scared now?" Nanmen Jue said calmly.
“I…I’m not afraid of you at all.” Yu Wanyan gritted her teeth.
Nanmen Jue didn't engage in such childish, elementary school-like arguments with her. Instead, she gave her a strange, up-and-down look. Her gaze was so aggressive that Yu Wanyan instinctively wanted to raise her arms to hug herself, but she stubbornly restrained herself.
Even if it meant death, she didn't want to show weakness in front of this person.
However, Nanmen Jue's next words made her eyes truly show fear.
"In this world, you have indeed always been the original self."
Previously, Nanmenjue had only made a guess, but now, thanks to Niupitang's confirmation, it has been truly confirmed.
Like her, Ying Yao was unwilling to fall into the same trap twice. In the previous world, they were fooled by Yu Wanyan's android puppet. After returning, he found a way to add Yu Wanyan's biological information.
Yu Wanyan opened her mouth to refute, but for some reason, she closed her mouth again. Her big eyes dimmed slightly, but she stubbornly raised them again, staring intently at Nanmen Jue.
"I have a question for you."
"You risked being killed by me to follow me, just to ask me one question?" Nanmen Jue's tone was still emotionless. "Fine, ask away."
Yu Wanyan took a deep breath. "Why do you insist on killing me?"
Nanmen Jue's gaze sharpened, and Mo Gui and Wei Chongru also showed expressions of disbelief.
Why kill her? Is there even a need to ask that question? Of course, it's because she's cold-blooded and cruel, she killed many... uh.
The two suddenly realized that, in terms of the number of people killed, Yu Wanyan might not even be a fraction of Nanmen Jue's...
A very strange scene flashed through Mo Gui's mind.
Yu Wanyan: I killed 50,000 people.
Nanmen Jue: Not bad, what about yesterday?
...
Mo Gui shuddered violently, trying to shake the things out of his head. His movements were so exaggerated that it looked like a big dog shaking off the mud. Wei Chongru glanced at him.
Sure enough, Yu Wanyan's next words were: "When you first met me, I killed some people as a gift to you, but you didn't appreciate it and even tried to kill me. I've never understood why? You, Nanmen Jue, are no good either! You've killed far more people than I have, so why did you have to kill me?"
Nanmen Jue asked in a strange tone, "Is that all you wanted to ask me?"
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I wanted to ask you.” Yu Wanyan raised her head, like a proud little swan, her eyes flashing with stubbornness. “What right do you have to kill me?”
This question was too sharp. Not only Yu Wanyan, but Mo Gui and Wei Chongru also wanted to know the answer. The two held their breath and waited cautiously.
Under the gaze of the three, Nanmen Jue's lips curled slightly.
"Little friend, do you really need an answer? In this world, shouldn't it be commonplace for you to see the weak dominated by the strong, and the strong taking the lives of the weak? Why did you kill others? Was it because they had offended you? No, it was simply because you could kill them, and wanted to kill them." Nanmen Jue smiled, but his words were exceptionally cold. "Then, if the roles were reversed, and you were the one being killed, you couldn't stand it? You ask me why I should kill you, so why are you asking me this kind of question?"
Silence.
This was an answer that surprised everyone, and the three of them stared blankly at Nanmen Jue.
Nanmen Jue lifted her leg and walked closer to Yu Wanyan, stopping in front of her. Her expression and voice were both calm and cold, just like when she faced those ant-like lives.
Yu Wanyan had never felt so acutely that she was an ant, no different from countless ordinary lives, and no different from those who died at her hands.
"Any last words?" Nanmen Jue asked coldly.
Yu Wanyan opened her mouth, making a rusty, stuck sound, an unintelligible syllable uttered in extreme fear.
Nanmen Jue's famous White Bone Blade had already slid into her hand, as smooth and translucent as jade in the dim light. Just as the blade was about to slice into Yu Wanyan's neck, Yu Wanyan closed her eyes and shouted, "I haven't killed anyone in this world!"
Nanmen Jue's men paused.
Yu Wanyan closed her eyes. "I originally thought you wanted to kill me because I killed that little girl named Zhang Zhi. But after thinking about it, I realized you were already trying to kill me before I even laid a hand on her. I just can't understand what gives you the right, Nanmen Jue. So I had to come and ask you no matter what. Nanmen Jue, you're not the kind of person you're talking about, nor am you like me. So I don't believe your explanation."
Nanmen Jue's expression suddenly turned strange.
She didn't speak. Yu Wanyan opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little red, but she didn't cry. Nanmen Jue looked into her eyes and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
In Yu Wanyan's eyes, she saw something familiar, just like... herself when she first entered the reincarnation space.
A strong will supported her, making her unwilling to bow her head no matter how angry, fearful, or desperate she was.
“You must have a secret.” Yu Wanyan said with a slightly trembling but certain tone, “People can be hypocritical and say one thing and do another, but those people don’t see you that way. Your eyes are not murderous eyes.”
The two onlookers were stunned. Nanmen Jue remained silent for a long time before giving a faint smile. "You're saying all this, but it won't make me give up on killing you. Yu Wanyan, since you dare to follow me alone, you must have some trump cards up your sleeve. Show them to me, or I won't stop next time."
She toyed with the bone knife in her hand, and as she finished speaking, its spinning stopped.
Nanmen Jue's eyes clearly told Yu Wanyan that she really would kill her.
But Yu Wanyan remained calm. She stared intently into Nanmen Jue's eyes and said, "I can bring Zhang Zhi back to life."
Nanmen Jue's expression changed instantly.
"What? Resurrection?" Mo Gui blurted out in astonishment. "Are you kidding me? Even the Supreme God can't bring the dead back to life!"
“Yes, even the Supreme God cannot bring the dead back to life, but I can.” Yu Wanyan proudly raised her chin, and as soon as she did, the blade of the White Bone Blade pressed against her.
"Explain yourself clearly," Nanmen Jue said in a low voice.
Her tone wasn't cold, but an unprecedented fear enveloped Yu Wanyan, telling her what would happen to her if she dared to lie.
She pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Zhang Zhi isn't dead. Her consciousness is in your brain, isn't it?"
Realizing what she was saying, Nanmen Jue's dark, brooding eyes gradually brightened.
“Only her physical body died. Her consciousness is still there, so she is still herself. We just need to make her another body,” Yu Wanyan said.
"This sounds so simple, like replacing a broken computer part with just any old one." Mo Gui was dumbfounded. "Can a human body be replaced that easily? It sounds like, like..."
He hesitated for a moment, and Wei Chongru silently added for him: "Cyberpunk, or Detroit: Become Human."
"Yes! Cyberpunk!" Mo Gui slapped his thigh.
Wei Chongru whispered, "I have indeed heard that the mechanical girl learned all her skills from a certain cyberpunk post-apocalyptic world. That world is also a high-risk world with a very low survival rate."
With Nanmen Jue holding a knife to her head, Yu Wanyan couldn't move her head, so she turned her eyes to the side, her gaze lingering on Wei Chongru's face and name. "The people of Entropy Ash know so much. Yes, that cyberpunk apocalypse, where it's not uncommon for people to change bodies, limbs, eyes, or even brains, as long as we can extract her consciousness..."
Nanmen Jue grabbed her collar and brought his face close to hers. "How do you get it out?"
Yu Wanyan was stunned for a moment. Instead of being afraid, she boldly traced Nanmen Jue's eyebrows and eyes with her gaze. As she looked, a blush appeared on her face. "He really has no pores... No wonder he is the man I have chosen."
Nanmen Jue: ...
The other two: ...
No, in a life-or-death situation, you're still thinking about physical attraction?
As if knowing what they were thinking, Yu Wanyan suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter trembled, and tears welled in her eyes, as if she were extremely happy. "Nanmen Jue, do you still want to kill me now?"
Nanmen Jue ignored her maniacal laughter. "Why are you telling me this? If it's just to keep me from killing you, wouldn't it be better for you to stay far away?"
Yu Wanyan suddenly stopped laughing, her gaze turning deep. "Because I've discovered that I seem to have truly fallen in love with you, Nanmen Jue. So I won't allow any other woman to be closer to you than me, to live in your mind, even if she's just a child."
