Just as I was filled with terror, a beautiful figure suddenly rushed in and blocked my way.
laugh!
I heard a faint sound, followed by Deng Xiaohong's terrified voice, "Lili, you..."
Without thinking much, seeing Deng Xiaohong in a daze, I swiftly pulled out my knife, pushed aside the woman blocking my way, and plunged the knife into Deng Xiaohong's chest.
After I stabbed him, my face turned deathly pale. I had just been in a life-or-death situation, and now I felt a pang of regret. I had actually killed someone.
"ordinary!"
Deng Xiaohong's eyes widened, her body collapsed to the ground, she struggled a few times, and then completely lost her life.
Just as Deng Xiaohong collapsed, the woman next to me also collapsed.
It was only then that I saw the woman's face. When I recognized her, I was shocked and exclaimed, "An Lili?"
At this moment, An Lili had a dagger stuck in her lower abdomen, and blood was flowing out continuously. Blood was also flowing from the corner of my mouth.
I quickly sat down, placed An Lili's head on my lap, and asked, "How did you get here? What happened?"
“Changming…” An Lili reached out her bloodied hand and cupped my face, a gentle smile curving her lips as she said softly, “Ask whatever you want. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.”
"No, you're bleeding a lot. I'll take you to the hospital first." I started to wrap An Lili up.
"Changming, no need. I don't have much time left. In these last moments, I want to talk to you, okay?" An Lili reached out to stop me and said softly.
"But....."
"Changming, my time is running out. Ask me anything you want. I want to talk to you one last time." An Lili's voice was also slowly getting weaker.
"Okay, then let me ask you, who exactly are you, and what is your relationship with Deng Xiaohong and the others?" he asked slowly.
“Deng Xiaohong and I are from the same organization. My goal is to rescue Lord Blood Demon. As for my initial purpose in approaching you, it was to get that blood-red copper coin from you. Liu Yong threatened me with my family, and I had no choice but to do it.” An Lili looked at me apologetically and continued, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”
"What is a Blood Demon? And what is the purpose of the red copper coin you're looking for?" I asked.
“I don’t know the purpose of the red copper coin either; Liu Yong told us to do it. As for the blood demon, I’m not really sure either, I just know it’s related to your village,” An Lili said weakly. “Is there anything else you want to ask?”
"One last question: Why did you leave without saying goodbye, and then call to warn me to be careful of Deng Xiaohong?"
"I had been at the courier station for so long but hadn't found the red copper coin. Later, Liu Yong removed me and replaced me with Deng Xiaohong."
"Okay, that's all the questions I wanted to ask."
An Lili looked into my eyes and said weakly, "Zuo Changming, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead and ask." I nodded gently.
"Have you ever liked me?" An Lili asked softly.
"I..." I hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I used to like him."
"That's good." An Lili's lips curled into a smile, but suddenly, perhaps due to the pain in her wound, she exclaimed and her brows furrowed tightly.
I asked hurriedly, "How did you get here?"
"My time is running out, Changming. I hope you won't hate me. If I had another chance, I would rather be an ordinary person." After An Lili finished speaking, she wanted to reach out and touch my face, but her hand drooped halfway and her eyes slowly closed.
"An Lili?" I gently shook An Lili and shouted loudly.
But An Lili was already dead, and no matter how much I shook her, she could never open her eyes again.
My tears flowed uncontrollably. My heart ached. If An Lili hadn't saved me, she wouldn't have died. It was all my fault. I hate myself for being useless, for having such a difficult fate, and for dragging down those around me.
