The woman in the dream had no resemblance to her, yet Mo Rufeng felt it was her.
For no reason...
Is it a feeling carried over from a past life?
Mo Rufeng never believed in past lives or reincarnation, but because of Su Chen, he came to believe, and believed so completely.
Doing those things to deal with Lu Jian seemed to have become his instinct, something he couldn't stop.
It seemed as if a giant hand was orchestrating everything from the shadows, and he was merely a pawn in this game, forced to follow the predetermined path. There was no turning back.
Mo Rufeng didn't want to escape; he could even sense his impending death, yet he longed to see her one last time before he died.
One meeting... is enough...
...
A few days later.
Lu Jian stood before him with a group of his trusted followers.
Lu Jian asked, "Why?"
Mo Rufeng: "Why so many questions? Just kill me if you want, stop arguing."
Lu Jian stared at him intently for a while, then ordered his men to tie him up and take him to the execution ground at noon the next day.
Mo Rufeng maintained a calm, indifferent expression throughout.
Lu Jian had always felt something was off.
Logically, information shouldn't be gathered so quickly. Moreover, after so many years of operation, no outsiders know the true owner behind the brothel. Those who do know are extremely loyal to Mo Rufeng.
The strange thing is that the message was delivered to him personally by someone who wrote it down.
He had suspected it was a scam, but after investigating, he found that everything in the letter, down to the smallest detail, was true.
Just like today, he had come all the way without any obstacles. The brothel was already deserted. He thought there was a trap, but when he saw Mo Rufeng, he knew there was no trap. Mo Rufeng had already decided to die and had already dismissed everyone.
Lu Jian and Mo Rufeng stared at each other for a long time, then Lu Jian raised his hand and said, "Take him away."
...
[Oh no! The villain is going to die the day after tomorrow!]
When the system gave that strange noise, Su Chen was picking the bones out of the yellow croaker.
Su Chen accidentally pricked her hand with a fishbone. "The plot is developing pretty fast."
"Of course, why don't you go meet the villain?"
"What difference would seeing it make?" The only outcome would still be death.
I think the villain really wants to see you. He even dreams of calling for a kitten while he's in jail.
Su Chen paused for a moment, then said, "He might like cats."
The system nodded. [Hmm, you are the cat.]
Su Chen: ...
"I'm not going."
【Alright then, once the villain dies, this system will take you straight to the next world~】
Su Chen shook her head. "No, I'm quite happy staying on the mountain. The air is fresh and I feel relaxed. Let me play a little longer."
"That works too." The system thought she should rest in the space as well.
...
But when that day came, Su Chen still went down the mountain.
Her wind manipulation skills improved more and more. She rode the wind all the way down the mountain, and even flew through the city without avoiding people.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been quite calm just two days ago, but today she couldn't sit still on the mountain for even a moment.
Before she could make up her mind, her body made the decision for her.
After inquiring their way to the execution ground, Mo Rufeng was escorted by a group of people to the high platform at noon. His blue robe was now covered in dust, but his otherworldly demeanor remained unchanged.
His eyes were like a stagnant pool of water, completely still.
Lu Jian allowed him not to kneel, but simply told him to stand quietly and wait for noon.
Since ancient times, heinous criminals have been executed at noon, because people believe that the yang energy is strongest at this time, and the person being executed will not have the chance to be reincarnated and will turn to ashes in the sunlight.
It seems that Lu Jian hated him so much that he chose this time.
