Chapter 196 Listen to the sound of your heartbeat
"Come back, Lilith. Have you forgotten how we lived together? This is your own utopia. You can live in this school forever. As long as you want, we can do it again and again."
The illusory, seductive voice seemed to ring directly in Lilith's head.
The delicate-looking girl sat on a tall elderberry, her eyes lost in thought for a moment. She seemed to see the fluttering flower strings, the falling sycamore leaves, the pond in its dry season, and the reflection of the sunset on the classroom windows.
Didn't she always want to go back? To return to the original world, even if this original world was just a lie, a reality that she could never touch.
But, there's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person, a student who only needs to study, right? In this way, she no longer has to worry about the contaminated area, no longer has to fight against pollutants, and no longer has to worry about the bomb in her heart.
"Lilith!"
Different calls came from different directions at the same time. Si Jue struggled to come over, but was stopped. Qi Hanxing and Shen Jiaxu were also stopped.
They anxiously looked at the girl who seemed to be giving up resistance, and could only try harder to deal with the strange pollutants.
Only Louis stretched out his hands towards her and pulled her down from the tall tree.
The strength was really great, and the movements were ruthless, but even so, Lilith felt that she was caught. She saw that the pair of blue eyes were filled with complex emotions that she couldn't understand.
"You look okay."
He spoke harshly, but Lilith finally found the hidden concern in his cold words.
"Of course I'm fine."
She is not the kind of person who can be fooled by a few words.
Lilith looked at Yan Bujian again. He seemed very disappointed, and his expression changed from kind to ferocious.
"Why are you so stubborn? We saved you and kept you alive. You should stay in hell with us forever."
Pale white lightning flashed across the dark sky, followed by rumbling thunder, the sound seemed to explode directly next to Lilith's ears.
The rain fell relentlessly, soaking Lilith like a drowned chicken in an instant.
The water source nourishes the pollutants, and Yan Bujian's body can actually become larger. At this time, the attacks of Robbins and other exploration team members can no longer cause any harm to it.
Lilith could only ask them to retreat and reduce the pressure on her support.
The attack became more fierce. Lilith, Shen Jiaxu and others kept dodging the wildly flying branches, and then took advantage of the chaos to attack.
When the dark green juice falls on the skin, it quickly corrodes a small piece of ulcerated skin.
Lilith casually touched Louis' waist and took out a tube of spirit replenishing potion when he tried to dodge.
Beastly combat consumes too much mental energy. It is almost impossible to maintain high potential combat for a long time. If it were other guides, Lilith is almost certain that they would be drained of their strength the moment the beast transformation is activated.
"Bang!"
Qi Hanxing was thrown high up and then fell to the ground. Lilith was too busy to take care of him. Her emerald green eyes were slightly red.
"I'm fine!"
He first said something to Lilith, then stared at Yan Bujian and shouted angrily,
"Ugly thing, you hurt my face. If it leaves a scar that can't heal and makes Lilith hate me, I will definitely burn you like firewood!"
Si Jue had just been splashed by the corrosive liquid. He shaved off the rotten flesh on his arm with an expressionless face. The intense pain only made the corner of his mouth twitch.
"What should I do? It seems like I'm going to die because of a kiss."
Shen Jiaxu touched his chin in distress and looked back at Lilith who was still holding on. He was covered in wounds, and his once handsome face was now covered in dark bloodstains, looking extremely miserable.
“I always feel that this is not worth it.”
He looked at his sharp claws and long fox tail, and moved in front of Lilith.
"At least... like this."
The exchange of breath carried the smell of blood, and Lilith suddenly realized that their state was already at the end of its strength.
Even this is not enough to tie with Yan Bujian. The pollutants in the source of pollution have reached such a terrible level.
The thick fog was still shrinking, and the approaching danger made Lilith's hair stand on end.
Unless she breaks through again, unless she can reach S-level, only then can her mental power be fully delivered to the sentinels' bodies, allowing them to exert even greater power.
There is no other way. I still have one potion to improve the sentinel's ability. Although I don't know what side effects the guide will have if he uses it, I'll try my best.
She opened the reagent and was about to drink it when the person who was still fighting seemed to realize something and rushed over.
"What are you doing?"
Louis's uniform also became tattered. A noble prince, now in such a mess with her, it was obviously not the time to laugh, but Lilith couldn't help but smile.
"There's nothing I can do. You can't beat me."
Lilith spoke the truth in a coquettish tone, helpless yet vaguely apologetic. She thought, it is better to rely on yourself than on others.
But her hand was tightly grasped, and the reagent was easily taken away by Louis, who drank it in one gulp.
"What are you doing? You can't beat me even if you drink it!"
Lilith said anxiously, her eyes quickly sweeping over the others who were struggling to avoid the attack, and then her gaze returned to Louis.
Her eyes were so gentle, yet filled with unconscious concern.
The water droplets that hit the ground quickly gathered into puddles. When Louis lowered his head, he could see Lilith's shadow above them.
She clearly had black hair and black eyes, but in the water she looked blonde.
He slowly raised his hand and grabbed his collar, as if he couldn't breathe, but after a few seconds, he slowly let go.
A bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Actually, I've had a guess for a long time, but I just didn't want to believe it. Can you hear my heartbeat, Lilith?"
He held Lilith's hand and pressed it against his chest. His slow, heavy heartbeat shook his chest.
“Boom…Boom…”
"My mother once told me something. I thought she was just trying to comfort me, but I didn't expect it to be used at a time like this."
Sharp scales appeared on the cold white knuckles, and Louis pierced Lilith's chest with his backhand. The warm blood dyed his fingertips red, and the bright red beating heart left Lilith's body.
