Su Mingan sat in the passenger seat, the backrest was lowered, and the temperature was just right. He had been feeling sleepy for a long time, as he had only slept for an hour in the past two days. He closed his eyes.
At this time, the car radio broadcast news. The selection of nine disciples kept people all over the world awake all night, and the host reported the changes around the world.
"It is reported that a long-collapsed building, the Pearl Building, has appeared in the East Eighth District. All the brand-name jewelry was kept safe and sound in the building. The real estate developer is negotiating with the Pearl Enterprise to decide what to do with these 'long-lost' jewelry now."
"It is reported that no one survived the night in the Ashengte Palace. Queen Blanche rushed into the black fog alone and has not been heard from since. The Ashengte Kingdom is currently discussing the successor to the throne."
"It is reported that……"
The sound of the news was very hypnotic, and Su Mingan quickly felt sleepy.
"By the way...I gave you a peach blossom cufflink, shouldn't you give me a gift in return?" Xiao Jingsan suddenly said while adjusting the air conditioner.
Su Mingan was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by Xiao Jingsan's shout.
He squinted uncomfortably and picked out a gift from his backpack - it was a black bird sculpture. Su Mingan couldn't remember when this thing entered his backpack, it was just an ordinary desktop ornament.
Xiao Jingsan treated Su Mingan's casual gift as if he had received a treasure. He carefully observed the black bird sculpture, wiped the dust off it with his fingers, and held it in his arms: "I will keep it forever, forever..."
Su Mingan has fallen asleep.
The warm air blew on his pale face, staining his dry lips. A light drizzle fell outside the car window.
Nowadays, people have a lot of things to do. The disciples need to find other disciples as quickly as possible, and the team escorting the girl needs to find the girl as quickly as possible. In addition, non-participants are also responsible for news dissemination, public opinion control, government dispatch, online betting and viewing, etc.
There was a drizzle, and only the car was quiet.
Changge closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them. He was afraid of meeting Xiao Jingsan's eyes in the driver's seat. Fortunately, Xiao Jingsan thought Su Mingan had fallen asleep and did not notice Changge.
It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Xiao Jingsan next to him heard a "ding dong" sound from his pocket.
Xiao Jingsan took out the mobile phone from his pocket.
Changge quietly opened his eyes a crack and glanced over. In the dark night, only the phone screen was glowing.
Xiao Jingsan's stern face reflected the white light of the screen, his eyebrows were deep and cold. Changge quietly looked at the screen of his mobile phone. It was a text message -
…
[Failed. Chao Yan died two minutes ago. She failed to defeat the tentacle monster on the beach. The control mark on Su Mingan cannot be erased.]
…
Changge vaguely understood the meaning of this text message - that is, Su Mingan could no longer escape the control of the gods.
Xiao Jingsan suddenly burst into laughter, with a tearful smile on his face. He covered his face with his hands to hide the tears that were streaming down his face.
"Okay, okay... I knew it, I knew it was too late... We still lost, we still lost..."
His laughter woke Su Mingan up. Su Mingan opened his eyes and met Xiao Jingsan's red eyes. The rain on the car window and the tears in Xiao Jingsan's eyes slid down at the same time and dripped onto the ground.
"Why are you crying?" Su Mingan almost thought he was seeing things.
Xiao Jingsan picked up the phone, tilted his head and smiled: "It's okay, you sleep a little longer."
At this moment, Su Mingan suddenly felt the lines on the palm of his hand becoming hot.
…
“Ding Dong!”
[Someone violated your instant death rule. Do you want to kill him? (Touching the tattoo will activate the instant death rule.)]
…
Su Mingan quickly straightened his stiff fingers to avoid accidentally touching his palm.
In his sight, Xiao Jingsan had turned blood red, which meant that Xiao Jingsan had violated his instant death rule.
...In other words, Xiao Jingsan just told a lie.
"You are lying. What happened?" Su Mingan said.
"...It's really okay, go back to sleep." Xiao Jingsan reached out and adjusted the backrest of Su Mingan's chair.
His brows were filled with sorrow, and his pupils were filled with bottomless darkness.
Su Mingan felt his palms getting hot again - this was another lie from Xiao Jingsan.
He was drowsy and his consciousness was blurred. The rain outside the window was breaking into pieces. The incense in the car exuded a scent that made people sleep.
But no matter how you look at it, Xiao Jingsan looks like he is on the verge of collapse. His pupils are trembling violently, and there are traces of tears on his face that are on the verge of breaking.
"...Tell me what happened." Su Mingan said.
Xiao Jingsan was silent for a moment, and whispered:
"Our plan is that if Chao Yan can defeat the tentacle monsters stationed at the edge of the world, she can take you across the edge of the world and reach a new world."
"At that time, the control mark imposed on you by the gods will break by itself. After that, you will no longer be affected by the control mark."
"But I just received word of her death."
"The control cannot be lifted, and we have no way to turn the situation around."
Su Mingan understood, so that's how it was. His brows knitted slightly.
Suddenly, Xiao Jingsan's knife chopped his neck without warning. Before he lost consciousness, he heard Xiao Jingsan's trembling voice:
"…Stay alive, angel."
