He took out a black-handled dagger from his spatial storage; it was incredibly sharp.
This knife is almost identical to the one that killed the original owner in my previous life. When I was stockpiling them, I bought it on a whim when I saw it, and I never expected it would come in handy today.
"Ningning, are you possessed? You're alive and well now, aren't you? How could I have killed you?"
"Please let me go, please!" Lin Xueying was so frightened that her face turned pale and she cried uncontrollably.
"I begged you the same thing back then, and what did you say? I'm a jinx, everything I do goes wrong."
"Being friends with me is the biggest regret of your life. Even as a ghost, you should remember that it was you who helped me find peace, so I can remember your kindness. Is that what you said?"
Jian Ning frowned and thought for a moment.
"No, Ningning, believe me, I swear I didn't say that. You said it was something from a past life, how would I know? Please don't kill me. I'll kowtow to you!"
As Lin Xueying spoke, she struggled to kneel up and angrily kowtowed more than ten times.
Jian Ning had already taken the blame for the original owner, and coldly continued, "In the past life, after we met, you said that your family members had all died in the natural disaster, and Uncle Lin risked his life to save you in the earthquake."
I also feel that we've been friends since childhood, so as long as I have something to eat, you won't go hungry.
We supported each other and struggled to survive in the apocalypse. I even gave you the gene serum that I had finally obtained, but what did you do to me?
Ever since you met Miao Xin, you've been following her around like a lapdog. What has she given you that makes you want to kill me?
"No, Ningning, I don't understand what you're saying at all."
Have you been scammed? What Miao Xin? I don't know anyone like that.
Don't listen to other people's nonsense. I'm your best friend. When we were little, I always shared my favorite things with you. Have you forgotten?
Food is so scarce right now, and I gave you all the food I had today, which I saved up myself.
I haven't eaten dinner tonight. You know that?
Lin Xueying was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
She really didn't understand whether Jian Ning was possessed by something or had a mental breakdown. It was something that hadn't even happened, yet she was making it sound so convincing.
"Yes, you haven't changed yet because the end times have only just begun, and you haven't lost your humanity and conscience. But that may not be the case in the future."
It's getting late, let's stop wasting time. You should savor the pain you inflicted on me in my past life, and I hope I never see you again in the next!
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she plunged the dagger into Lin Xueying's right shoulder blade without hesitation. Lin Xueying screamed in agony. Seeing the spurting blood, she fainted from the pain.
"How can you be so weak? You stabbed me five times back then, and I was perfectly conscious."
Jian Ning used her dagger to pick up a piece of ice and placed it on Lin Xueying's face. The sudden coldness slowly woke her up again.
"It hurts! Ningning, I'll kneel down for you. I swear I'll never do anything to hurt you again, please forgive me!"
Lin Xueying opened her eyes and felt the pain in her body. She struggled to get up and kneel down.
"Impossible, not a single cut will be spared!"
As Jian Ning spoke, the dagger in her hand fell a second time, this time to her left shoulder blade. The location was exactly the same as where Lin Xueying had stabbed her in her previous life.
"Ah~!!" This time, Lin Xueying didn't faint; she screamed in agony.
"Go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out. There's no one here."
I was actually a bit impatient today. I was originally planning to tell you about the time I died in my past life...
The others present were all called over to see what you look like now, but unfortunately, not all of them can be gathered yet. They'll just have to live a few more days.
Jian Ning finished speaking expressionlessly, then plunged the dagger in her hand down again, this time into the calves below the knees on both sides, with considerable force, piercing right through them.
"Oh dear! I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength well. You didn't penetrate this deep in my past life. It's your own fault for not having enough strength."
Lin Xueying was in so much pain that she could barely speak. Her lips trembled for a long time before she finally managed to squeeze out two words: "Demon!"
"No, I don't accept that title. Thinking back to my past life, I was the kindest person, respecting my teachers and loving my friends, but what was my final fate?"
My treasure was stolen, the man I loved was taken away, my only family member died, and even you, my best friend, killed me with your own hands?
I'd like to ask you, what did I do wrong to deserve such a harsh treatment?
"Couldn't you just kill me? Why did you deliberately torture and humiliate me in front of Miao Xin and Li Mingxuan? Did she make you do it?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, Jian Ning. Just kill me, it hurts too much, I can't take it anymore!"
In just a short while, the blood flowing from Lin Xueying's body had frozen, and she was almost frozen stiff. Her voice was broken and weak.
"Don't rush, there are still three more cuts, not one less." Jian Ning said, raising the dagger and piercing Lin Xueying's palm, pinning her left hand to the ground.
They say the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and this time it hurt even more than the previous times. Lin Xueying was in so much pain that her whole body bounced up on the ground before falling heavily back down.
He could only sob in his throat, unable to speak.
Looking at her, Jian Ning felt nothing. This was her own doing. She had to avenge the original owner of this body.
He pulled out the dagger and pierced a hole in Lin Xueying's right hand as well.
Then he slapped Lin Xueying's face with the dagger, and she fainted. This won't do; there's still one more stab, and he has to make sure she sees it while she's still conscious.
I simply transferred some of my spiritual energy to her.
Lin Xueying slowly opened her eyes. After regaining consciousness, she realized that she was still alive. She couldn't help but cry loudly.
She was genuinely terrified. She felt that Jian Ning was no longer human, but possessed by a demon. In this situation, she was completely helpless; what could she do?
"Lin Xueying, I hope that when you get to the underworld and see Jian Ning, you will personally kowtow to her and admit your mistakes."
Remember this lesson, and be a good person from now on.
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she thrust the dagger in her hand without hesitation, striking Lin Xueying's heart directly. Instead of pulling it out, she twisted her wrist in the process.
Lin Xueying let out a mournful cry, her eyes widened, and she quickly stopped breathing.
Having avenged his great enemy, Jian Ning felt a great relief from the pent-up frustration in his heart. He didn't draw his dagger, nor did he care about Lin Xueying's corpse. Instead, he went straight down the mountain and returned to Jinmao Mansion under the moonlight.
