Whether human or vampire, they all have an innate understanding of food and water.

Ye Qing stared at the bottle of water for three seconds, and then his expression suddenly changed.

Even though there was a barrier between them, Li Yuebai was frightened by his appearance and gasped.

It was too familiar. When Ye Qing just turned into a vampire, he stared at me with such eyes in the first second. Of course, Ye Qing endured it in the end and did not really eat me.

But this time, there is no need to endure the bottle of water.

Li Yuebai held his breath and watched Ye Qing finally do what he should do - open the bottle cap and put the bottle mouth to his mouth - damn, how did this kid hold it in? Why is he so restrained? If it were him, by now, I'm afraid I would have chewed the bottle into pieces. He was obviously dying of thirst, but his movements were still as serious as usual - his pale fingers firmly grasped the bottle, his chin was lifted up in a beautiful line, his chest rose and fell regularly, and even his breathing rhythm was not disordered at all.

When he drank the last drop of water, Ye Qing seemed to have undergone some changes. His skin, which was originally covered with horrible cracks that crisscrossed vertically and horizontally, now miraculously disappeared bit by bit, and finally became as smooth as before. His original tired and anxious expression also disappeared.

Li Yuebai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's great that this water works.

The bottle of water given to Ye Qing is certainly not just water.

The credit is added with Vila's blood.

Previously, Liang Jing had given a rough ratio - the concentration of substance X in Vila's blood is a thousand times that of humans.

In other words, if vila's blood is diluted a thousand times, its effect will be equivalent to that of human blood.

In other words, the "human blood substitute" that Liang Jing has been researching may be made of vila blood diluted a thousand times.

Li Yuebai was not sure how credible this ratio was, but in the end, he decided to give it a try.

The Seven Stars Tower is the final battle, Ye Qing will definitely come.

A bottle of water is 500 ml, and a drop of blood is 0.05 ml. Adding ten drops of blood to a bottle of water is just right.

He got two bottles of bottled drinking water on the way to Qixinglou. He cut his finger and dripped blood into the bottles, then shook the water evenly. For a moment, he felt like a father mixing milk powder for a newborn baby.

When he arrived at the door of the Seven Stars Building, Li Yuebai hesitated before going in - Ye Qing must not have arrived at this time, and he didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter after going in, and he might not even see him at all, so it would be better to leave the water bottle at the door.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Yuebai chose a compromise - he carried one bottle with him and hid the other in the pile of rocks outside the door. This way, whether he could see Ye Qing or not, he would have a chance to give him water.

Even delivering a bottle of water required so much trouble, and Li Yuebai felt that the world of vampires was too difficult.

Fortunately, after all this trouble, we finally achieved some interim results.

Li Yuebai was very glad. If it had been a little later, Ye Qing might have become someone else.

Ye Qing on the other side of the barrier put down the empty bottle, calmed himself, and looked at the position in the air with his clear eyes - the position where the feather and the letter floated. He was now very sure that there must be a passage there, leading to the world where Li Yuebai was, but he didn't know how to open it.

If it doesn't work, we can only try violent means.

Since Li Yuebai was able to pass the letter to me, it meant that he could see me and my actions would not hurt him.

He gestured to the spot and pulled out his gun.

"Hey..." Li Yuebai saw him pointing the gun at this side through the barrier and he subconsciously dodged.

After hiding for a long time, I went back to look and found nothing had happened.

On Ye Qing's side, he fired a shot at that location, but the bullet just passed through the air, through the window, and disappeared into the night sky.

No, it’s totally impossible.

The barrier can only be destroyed from the inside, and people outside can do nothing about it - these words once again came to my mind.

Li Yuebai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sure enough, the system did not lie, this sentence was correct.

I am the only one inside the barrier, and only I can destroy it. Ye Qing can't help.

But how to do it?

Once again, I heard low laughter and the sound of sand grains coalescing from behind.

Li Yuebai turned around suddenly, and as expected, he saw Gao Chengyu's phantom again.

"It's really touching." Gao Chengyu smiled and said, "But, have you forgotten everything you just saw so quickly?"

In an instant, all the phantoms he had seen on the seventh floor came back to his mind again - how Ye Qing had become a vampire, how he had killed a little girl named Xiao Wan, how he had sucked the blood of countless people...

"The person you care about has become like this. You are responsible for everything." Gao Chengyu approached step by step, with a formulaic smile on his face. But his words pierced Li Yuebai's heart accurately like a sword: "You have always claimed to be a defender of justice, but in the end, so many innocent people died... Gu Xisha, what is the difference between you now and me?"

I have to admit that this is Li Yuebai's weak spot.

No matter how many times I get poked, the pain never gets numb and is overwhelming.

Li Yuebai has always been an overly soft-hearted person, and he fears tragedy coming true the most in his life. But now, he has personally caused countless deaths, and he cannot accept this fact no matter what.

The same is true for Gu Xisha.

The memories of the previous life once again appeared clearly in my mind.

In his previous life, Gu Xisha fell into Gao Chengyu's hands because he was caught in the same weak spot.

The relationship between Gu Xisha and the original owner Ye Qing is somewhat complicated - the original owner Ye Qing has a tendency to depression, and Gu Xisha is keenly aware of this and keeps a close watch on him to prevent him from committing suicide. However, such strictness creates pressure, making Ye Qing's mood even more depressed. Under such pressure, Ye Qing insists on participating in the mission of Yongfeng Company to escape from Gu Xisha - but he is possessed by a dormant body during the mission and becomes a vampire.

After that, Gu Xisha certainly didn't have the heart to kill Ye Qing, so he just tried to find him and get close to him - however, this approach also triggered a new tragedy - Ye Qing was tortured by his vampire instincts, and wanted to suck Gu Xisha's blood, but he forced himself to endure it every time. Finally, one of the last times, Ye Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and sucked the blood of an innocent girl in front of Gu Xisha, causing her death.

Although strictly speaking, Gu Xisha was not responsible for the whole incident, he has always been the kind of person who would unconsciously take the blame on himself. Just like Li Yuebai now, Gu Xisha has also fallen into inextricable guilt.

Gao Chengyu was also very clear about this point - he always knew the enemy's weaknesses clearly.

Therefore, when he came to seek revenge on Gu Xisha, Gao Chengyu used various means over and over again to deepen his guilt and pain and disturb his mind. Under such despicable tactics, Gu Xisha was finally unable to concentrate on resistance and was dragged into the abyss of infinite despair.

This is what is called exorcism.

Now, it's happening again.

In fact, the pain in Li Yuebai's heart was even deeper than Gu Xisha's - shouldn't he have come to this world to change everything and save the original owner? Why was it in vain after so much effort? Why did he fight with all his mind, but the current situation was even worse than the original owner?

"You've already lost." Gao Chengyu's expression was almost sympathetic. "You've already lost since you made up your mind to be a stupid good person. Only good people would restrict themselves with many restrictions and cry bitterly over the inevitable killings. A good person who has done something wrong will never win."

In a sense, this statement is correct.

Because I hate sin and killing, I am in so much pain now.

If I were like Gao Chengyu, and regarded sin and killing as a part of myself, then I would not only not be in pain, but would also be extremely proud of myself.

But this kind of thing... is out of my control...

Gao Chengyu smiled, waved his hand, and pushed Ye Qing's phantom in front of Li Yuebai again.

"Shoot." His voice was full of deception: "As long as you break this illusion, all your pain will disappear... Anyway, you have no other way to escape the barrier, why don't you admit defeat?"

Li Yuebai felt that his whole body was shaking.

He could no longer control his hands, and he took out his gun tremblingly and aimed it at Ye Qing's phantom.

Just pull the trigger and all the torture will be over.

Anyway, both Ye Qing and I have committed so many evil deeds, why not end it?

Li Yuebai finally turned around and glanced at Ye Qing in the real world through the barrier.

He is still fine.

"I..." Li Yuebai turned back, closed his eyes and calmed down, then opened his eyes again, moved the muzzle of the gun away from Ye Qing's phantom, and aimed at Gao Chengyu's phantom: "Sorry, I can't shoot."

"So do you want to endure until you die little by little in this barrier?" Gao Chengyu smiled.

"No." Li Yuebai shook his head: "Impossible."

"Um?"

"Because I already know how to destroy the barrier." Li Yuebai said word by word.

"How could you know if no one told you?" Gao Chengyu sneered.

"Your plan to subdue people's hearts is to use people's hearts." Li Yuebai pointed at his chest and said, "The so-called barrier is actually the demon in the heart."

"What's the point of saying that?"

"Yes." Li Yuebai smiled: "From the beginning to the end, the reason why I was trapped by the barrier and confused and hurt by your illusion was only one reason - that is, I completely believed that what your illusion showed was the truth."

The illusion itself cannot make people suffer. There is only one reason why it makes people suffer: the content shown by the illusion is real.

Li Yuebai believed with certainty that Ye Qing must have killed Xiaowan and sucked her blood.

Ye Qing must have killed those people and sucked their blood.

No vampire can resist their desires. Vampires will definitely suck blood. This is a natural law that cannot be violated and is inevitable.

Therefore, when the phantom showed the details of bloodsucking, Li Yuebai felt extremely painful - he believed that these were all happening in reality.

"But just now, this reality was broken." Li Yuebai put down the gun in his hand and smiled more relaxedly: "I can tell you now that your barrier, your illusion, and everything you showed are all fake. I don't believe a single bit of it."

"Don't deceive yourself." Gao Chengyu looked at him sympathetically: "Are you trying to tell me that the people you value don't do those things?"

"Yes, that's right." Li Yuebai spread his hands: "Ye Qing didn't kill anyone, not a single one."

"What a joke." Gao Chengyu burst into laughter. "He's a vampire! How could he not suck human blood?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but seeing is believing." Li Yuebai sorted out the knowledge in his mind: "Piercing King, do you still need me to teach you about vampires? Do you know what a vampire will look like if he doesn't drink blood for seven consecutive days?"

"I don't know." Gao Chengyu frowned slightly: "Maybe my subordinates may know..."

According to the "Blood Charm", if a vampire does not drink any blood for seven consecutive days, he will feel severe pain all over his body and countless cracks will appear on his skin.

Just like Ye Qing just now.

And the day when Ye Qing became a vampire was exactly seven days.

Ye Qing has never sucked any blood. During these days, he has been silently suppressing his desires, enduring the pain of his body, and not doing anything that goes against his own ideals.

"You may not believe that there are such people in the world." Li Yuebai smiled and shook his head, his eyes sore for a while: "But my Xiaoye is just such a person."

How did he survive these seven days? Li Yuebai didn't dare to think about it, not at all.

Not only did Ye Qing have scary cracks on his body, but there was also an obvious bite mark on his arm - if you looked closely, you could clearly see that the bite mark was from Ye Qing himself.

Maybe it was that night in the basement when he bit a wound on the girl's shoulder...but he finally stopped abruptly and did not hurt the girl further. Instead, he bit his own arm and suppressed his desire in this way.

"So, every layer of illusion you set up is fake." Li Yuebai looked around: "The barrier can only be completely destroyed from the inside, and there is a way to destroy the barrier, that is - completely deny its authenticity."

In an instant, the entire Seven Star Building was shaking.

There was a loud rumbling sound as rocks and bricks fell from the ceiling.

The phantom Ye Qing turned into a beach of sand again.

The barrier is about to collapse.
