Chapter 121 I Don't Want the Light to Go Out

As night fell, no collective incident occurred.

The dilapidated town sits in the darkness, like an elderly man who is terminally ill and waiting for death to come at any time.

Eighteen superpowers searched for clues throughout the town.

Chu Xihen took his team members and they went to the female college student's home.

When the true face of the town was revealed, the scene behind the red iron gate was even more disgustingly dirty and messy.

There was trash and dried blood everywhere, and compared to what they had seen before, the place was quite tidy.

They found a confession from the female college student in her room, which was a clue that only appeared after the town recovered.

The autobiography records almost the entire truth they are looking for.

"Before I was eight years old, I always thought that my mother, who was tied in the yard, was our dog. That beast had taught me this since I could remember. At that time, I didn't understand anything. I didn't know why our dog was different from other dogs, nor did I understand why they would do such things to a dog. It wasn't until I went to elementary school that I realized..."

"From that time on, the things that I used to take for granted would become extremely terrifying and disgusting to me, like when that beast wanted me to live in the same room with him, or when he got drunk and beat up my already unconscious mother, scolding her for not giving birth to a smart son..."

"One day when I was ten years old, I went home and pushed open the iron gate, and I saw a beast lying on my mother. I didn't know where I got the courage from at the time, but I dared to rush up and bite him, but I was too weak, and he pushed me to the ground and I couldn't get up. After the beast left, I crawled to my mother's side, and I saw a pool of blood under her. She had never spoken before, but for the first time she stammered and said three words to me, "Run away..."

"I buried my mother by the river. I want the river to take her soul back to her hometown. My mother is right. I want to escape! I know they paid for my education so that they can raise a college student so that they don't have to buy money from outside. But it doesn't matter. I also need their help to finish college. After graduation, I can escape from them!"

"I met a boy at school who gave me lilies. I liked lilies very much, and I thought my mother must like them too, because lilies are as white as snow and pure and flawless, which is what both she and I yearn for. I never thought about being with him. I just wanted to leave this dirty place and live a free life."

"But he foolishly came here to find me and was caught by those beasts. He will die. Those beasts are capable of anything. He has a bright future and should not die here. No matter what the cost, I must save him!"

After reading the female college student's self-narration, Lou Su and Chu Xihen were silent. Chu Xichen was still holding the piece of paper, reading the contents repeatedly, and his expression became more gloomy the more he read.

Ling Yao was totally unable to control his emotions. He ran into the yard and started smashing things. Soon the yard was almost demolished by him.

"This should be the clue. Let's go to the square to meet up with the others!" Chu Xihen calmed down, pulled Lou Suo, and called Chu Xichi out of the house.

Ling Yao almost turned the yard upside down, "Brother Chu, do you know where Brother Yang buried the body of that beast? I want to dig it out and whip it!"

"The time we are in now is the real scene after the massacre in the town. The body of that beast is gone." Chu Xihen rubbed Ling Yao's head and explained to him.

The drunkard that Chu Xiqi beat to death was just a bunch of data created by the copy and was not real at all.

The drunkard had already been killed by the female college student herself.

They returned to the square in a depressed mood, and almost everyone else had returned as well, with the same expression as them.

"I've gone through so many copies in the infinite game, and this is the most disgusting one I have encountered so far!" Jiang Zang said angrily.

Jiang Lu continued, "Because this is the only copy we have encountered that is integrated with reality. What does this prove? It proves that reality is more despairing than the copy!"

"Have you found any evil clues?" Ling Yao asked.

Jiang Zang and the others were obviously still a little overwhelmed by the disgust they felt, and they did not speak immediately. Instead, Yang Yichen spoke first.

"We went to several villagers' homes, and each one had a very dirty prison room with a lot of bloodstains, which should have been left by the female college student who killed the villagers."

The bodies of the villagers were dragged away, but no one came to clean up the traces in the house because there were no living people left in the town.

"Those cells are used to imprison the female college students they bought from outside." Jiang Zang said with a sullen face, following Yang Yichen's words. He then picked up a tattered notebook from the ground beside him and threw it in front of everyone.

"What the hell? Village chronicles... There's such a thing in this crappy place?" Ling Ji said as he picked up the tattered book.

He opened it and took a look, then felt his eyes were dirty and threw the notebook away.

The notebook just happened to fly in front of Ling Yao. He had already read the autobiography left by the female college student, and his ability to withstand pressure had improved to a certain extent.

But his anger level did not increase. He saw the following record in the notebook: A fortune teller passing by told us that the reason why our Baihua Village is poor and backward is because the people in our village are too stupid. We need to improve our genes. The children born by the women in the village are all garbage. We need to go outside the village to get some female college students...

"Fuck! I can't bear to watch this anymore, Brother Chu, you guys take a look!" Ling Yao threw the torn notebook to Chu Xihen.

Chu Xihen took it, sat down, and placed the notebook on his long legs so that Lou Su and Chu Xichi on both sides could see it.

Because of what a fortune teller said, every household in the village contributed some money. They pooled together 20,000 yuan and went out to buy back the first female college student.

But this female college student was tortured to death by them just a few days after she was bought back.

Then came the second and third. At first it was 20,000, but in the end it only cost 2,000 to buy a female college student from the human trafficker.

That village history was a bloody account book, recording the price of each female college student they bought and the value they demonstrated after they were bought back.

Chu Xichi couldn't bear to read halfway through, so she silently took out the autobiography of the female college student and handed it to Yang Yichen and the others.

"What is this..." When Su Yan and other girls saw the self-narration, they couldn't hold back their tears and started wiping away their tears before they finished a sentence.

Although the contents of the autobiography are chilling, the female college student who is in endless despair still wants to give hope of life to the lily boy. She uses her own life as the price. Maybe it’s not that she likes the boy that much, but she just doesn’t want the light of others to be extinguished in this dirty and dark place.

"Is the woman who was once imprisoned in the house of that old bastard surnamed Li the mother of the female college student?" Everyone was silent for a long time, and Jiang Zang spoke slowly.

"Yes, I hope her soul has returned to her hometown along the river as her daughter wished." Ling Ji looked up at the dark night sky and said softly.
