Chapter 91 Fallen Angel (4)
A tearing sound rang out! Several dark green tentacles, each as thick as an adult's arm and covered in slime, were forcibly torn off by Jiang Yan.
Zhou Ruoruo was in extreme pain and tried to resist by waving her tentacles, but she was no match for Jiang Yan, who was in a state of rage.
Jiang Yan's small body moved between Zhou Ruoruo's bodies, yet it seemed to conceal boundless power.
Seeing that Zhou Ruoruo was at a disadvantage, the other two monsters came to help, but they were still no match for Jiang Yan.
In the end, the three monsters were completely defeated.
"You like lying? You like stabbing people in the back?"
Jiang Yan's voice rang out coldly. She suddenly moved closer to Zhou Ruoruo and ripped her tentacles apart with both hands.
"puff--!"
A large chunk of rotten, maggot-infested green material was forcibly torn off!
Zhou Ruoruo's shriek turned into a cracking sound, and her massive body convulsed violently!
On the other side, seeing Zhou Ruoruo injured, the shadowy figure instinctively wanted to come and help.
A dark shadow crept up Jiang Yan's back.
"Get out of my way!"
Jiang Yan didn't turn her head. With a backhand flick, a condensed black resentment was whipped out like a long whip, lashing fiercely at the surging black shadow!
"Smack—!"
Xu Sisi's darkness emitted a painful hiss, as it was whipped backward.
"You like starting fires? Then keep burning!"
Jiang Yan turned to her and said coldly.
Jiang Yan's resentment transformed into flames, fiercely burning towards the dark figure.
The shadowy figure tried to escape, but it couldn't outrun the resentment. In the end, it was burned and rolled on the spot, its soul emitting painful cries.
Finally, there's Hongjiadu.
The giant rat had barely managed to get up from its scramble to its feet when it saw Jiang Yan already standing in front of it.
Jiang Yan looked down at the large rat, her eyes filled with extreme hatred.
“As for you, Hong Jiadu,” her voice was soft, yet it made the giant rat stiffen, “you like burying things? You like burying living beings that still have breath in their bodies… like garbage, into the cold earth?”
She slowly raised one hand—
“Then you…” Jiang Yan gently placed her palm on the head of the giant rat Hong Jiadu, “and stay forever under the soil you love most…”
An indescribably heavy aura surged wildly into the giant rat's body through Jiang Yan's palm!
"squeak--"
Hongjiadu let out a short, extremely mournful wail, and then the sound stopped abruptly.
Its massive rat body, as if being pressed down by something, began to sink into the ground at a visible speed!
It tried to struggle, but its limbs felt like they were filled with lead, growing heavier and heavier.
I could only watch helplessly as I slowly melted into the soil, experiencing the darkness and suffocation of being buried alive.
This is the most effective punishment—making you personally experience the ultimate pain you inflict on others.
The battle didn't last long. With the enhancement of the Yin-Gathering and Ghost-Summoning Array, Jiang Yan's power far surpassed that of the three monsters.
After dealing with the three monsters, Jiang Yan glanced at Lin Chujiu, but her gaze passed over Lin Chujiu and landed on Pei Yu behind her.
At that moment, Lin Chujiu's heart inexplicably jumped.
Is Jiang Yan going to settle scores with Pei Yu?
However, what happened next stunned everyone.
The intense resentment and hatred on Jiang Yan's remnant soul's face receded rapidly like a tide when she looked at Pei Yu.
Instead, a complex mix of emotions arose—gratitude, guilt, and even a hint of…awe?
She slowly and with exceptionally respectful posture bowed in Pei Yu's direction.
A clear voice, yet still carrying the ethereal quality unique to souls, rang out respectfully:
"Master Ghost Doctor, you...you've worked hard. Thank you for your help in giving me this opportunity."
Mr. Ghost Doctor? !
Lin Chujiu's pupils contracted sharply, and she turned her head abruptly to look at Pei Yu.
Bai Yingfeng also raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Pei Yu's expression did not change much when Jiang Yan bowed to him.
He waved his hand gently, his voice as calm as ever, "No need for formalities. It's best that you are free."
Jiang Yan's remnant soul straightened up, a faint, relieved expression appearing on her ashen face. She then turned to Lin Chujiu:
"Thank you too, Miss Lin."
Jiang Yan said earnestly, "Your courage, intelligence, and...empathy are the key to breaking this cycle. Without you setting up this trap, I'm afraid I would never have been able to take revenge."
She paused, her soul becoming even more transparent, and her voice lowered:
"After I've dealt with them, I'm leaving too."
As if to confirm her words, a deep rumble and tremor, originating from the depths of the foundation, began to emanate from the entire teaching building, and even the entire Qingshan Middle School instance space.
A loud crash of collapsing buildings echoed in the distance, and even the perpetual grayness of the sky began to fluctuate erratically.
Lin Chujiu knew that the time to clear the level was approaching.
Lin Chujiu smiled sweetly at Jiang Yan and said:
"Then I wish you happiness in your next life in advance."
Jiang Yan smiled when she heard Lin Chujiu's words. Looking at Lin Chujiu's soft little face, she really wanted to pinch it, but she remembered that her hands were dirty after fighting three monsters, so she held back.
Jiang Yan took one last look at the two of them before her soul transformed into countless white specks of light and vanished from the world.
Lin Chujiu reached out and touched a point of light.
It's warm and cozy, symbolizing the hope of new life.
Lin Chujiu smiled, hoping that Jiang Yan could truly be reborn in her next life.
At the same time, a white light appeared in front of Lin Chujiu.
She knew this was the checkpoint, and turned back to smile at Bai Yingfeng and Pei Yu:
"I'm leaving now."
Her voice was light and cheerful.
Bai Yingfeng was reluctant to part, and her eyes turned red.
He wanted to step forward and speak, but Pei Yu beat him to it.
“Sister,” Pei Yu took a deep breath, deciding to finish in one breath, “Do you still remember me?”
If we don't say anything now, we might have to wait a long time next time.
Lin Chujiu was a little confused.
"Sister?"
Why would he call himself "elder sister"?
Moreover, it seems that someone else called themselves that a long time ago.
Looking at Lin Chujiu's confused expression, Pei Yu's usually indifferent face showed a hint of grievance:
"Sister, it's me, Xiao Yu! You saved me when I was little, don't you remember?"
Bai Yingfeng, who had just been wondering what was wrong with Pei Yu, burst into laughter upon hearing Pei Yu's words:
"What do you mean I've never saved you? You old sly fox, with your immense strength, how could you possibly need Jiu Jiu to save you? You're even capable of making up such a story just to win favor."
Some viewers in the live stream laughed along with Bai Yingfeng and Pei Yu, while others supported Pei Yu.
After all, they had witnessed Pei Yu's support for Lin Chujiu in the dungeon. Pei Yu had no reason to abandon Zhou Ruoruo to be good to Lin Chujiu. What he just said was one explanation.
But just as Bai Yingfeng was feeling triumphant—
Lin Chujiu nodded slowly, as if she had suddenly remembered something:
"I remember you, you are Xiao Yu."
When she was very young, she saved a little brother.
The little brother appeared out of nowhere in the family's vegetable garden. He was covered in bruises. Lin Chujiu picked him up and went to find her mother, asking if she should call the police. But her mother glanced at Pei Yu and said no.
After that, Pei Yu stayed at Lin Chu Restaurant to recover from his injuries.
At first, Pei Yu ignored her. Lin Chujiu tried everything she could to get Pei Yu to talk to her, but she couldn't get him to pay any attention to her.
Xiao Chujiu, feeling upset, would bother Pei Yu every day, but Pei Yu remained cold and aloof, like a block of wood.
Xiao Chujiu was very sad and cried, but Pei Yu awkwardly wiped away her tears.
Xiao Chujiu then realized that he might not be ignoring her, but rather that he was too quiet by nature and therefore ignored her.
Thinking about the truth, Xiao Chujiu chattered in front of Pei Yu every day. Pei Yu seemed annoyed on the surface, but inwardly he thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.
It feels so good to have someone who cares about you.
This relationship lasted for two months until Pei Yu suddenly left without saying goodbye.
Lin Chujiu was very angry at the time, but forgave him after a while.
Thinking of this, Lin Chujiu pulled herself out of her memories:
"You little brat, Yu, you actually left without saying goodbye, huh?"
Lin Chujiu said angrily.
Bai Yingfeng, who was standing next to Lin Chujiu, was somewhat surprised to hear Lin Chujiu admit it, but to avoid making a fool of himself, he went to the side and stayed there.
Pei Yu's expression was one of guilt and sincerity:
"So, I'm sorry, sister, I had an urgent matter to attend to and had to leave."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Chujiu's expression. Lin Chujiu had a stern face and looked at him with a gloomy expression.
Pei Yu was startled. "Sister, I was wrong."
Sister, you wouldn't really abandon him, would you?
Pei Yu was inwardly wailing.
Seeing Pei Yu's guilty expression, Lin Chujiu finally couldn't keep a straight face and burst out laughing:
"Fool, I forgave you a long time ago!"
Pei Yu's eyes lit up instantly.
