The Last Struggle (Part 2)
When he woke up, everything was pitch black. Yue Lanxiu thought he had died and gone to hell. But even in hell, he had to find a way to save Chao Rirou! If he couldn't find anyone to help, he could ask a ghost for help!
When he stood up and walked around, he accidentally tripped. He couldn't help but touch something and felt something soft and elastic. He kneaded it thoughtfully. What was this thing?
It wasn't until his hand was suddenly bitten hard, followed by a burning slap, that he realized what he had done. He hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything..."
"Xiu!" The other person recognized him as soon as he heard his voice and hugged him without hesitation, "Great, I can still hold you!"
"Xiao Rou!" The familiar voice and the familiar sweet smell made him hug her tightly back, wishing he could rub her into his body.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No, what about you?"
“No.”
The two of them gently stroked each other's faces, with only each other in their eyes and nothing else, and their two red lips gradually approached.
Just as they were about to put it on, an unhappy voice interrupted them.
"Don't be like this, I'm here too." A figure sat up in the darkness.
"Jing! Great that you're here too!"
"Not at all!" Yue Lanjing replied to him in an unhappy tone, "If you want to be intimate, please stay ten thousand meters away from me, okay?" He didn't want to see a scene that would make him so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
He would rather die than see them being so intimate.
"Where is this place?" Yue Lanxiu changed the subject awkwardly.
"I guess it's Yan Mingchi's basement again." Zhao Rirou guessed easily, "She drugged us and trapped us here. If she didn't kill us outright, she'd probably torture us. I wonder if anyone can find us trapped in a place like this?"
"Isn't there a tracker on the ring? Don't worry, my master and the others will find you soon!"
"The ring you gave me caught her eye, so she took it off and threw it away forcibly! That's why I don't have a tracker on me now." Asahirou said dejectedly.
"It's okay. Even without anyone's help, we can find a way to get out of this situation on our own! Have you forgotten that we also faced many difficulties last time, but in the end we relied on our own strength to escape from the desperate situation?" Yue Lanxiu encouraged.
"Yes! I believe you will take me away from here!" Chao Rirou leaned in his arms and said. He was a ray of starlight in her life, always illuminating the road ahead of her.
"Find an exit quickly!" Yue Lanjing reminded them.
Although it was dark, Yue Lanxiu could still feel Yue Lanjing rolling her eyes at him.
They groped in the darkness, and although they felt the chances were slim, they would never give up for the sake of their loved ones!
Suddenly the whole space lit up, not because of a light, but because a computer suddenly turned on.
There was a rectangular table in front of the computer, with three wine glasses on it, each filled with liquids of different colors. Just as he was about to take a look, Zhuang Youya's face appeared on the screen, looking at the joke.
The three of them stood together, staring at her with eyes that were colder and sharper than the other.
"Are you looking for a way out? Have you found anything?" She asked Yue Lanxiu with a smile. When she saw that his hand was tightly holding Zhao Rirou's hand, if the light in his eyes had turned into a physical entity, Zhao Rirou's hand would have been chopped off.
Yue Lanxiu found that there were white walls on all sides, no doors or windows at all, and there was only a clock hanging on the wall, nothing else.
Why was there a clock hanging there alone? What was its significance? Yue Lanxiu couldn't help but ponder.
"Have you thought about it? Have you thought about why I hung up this clock?"
"It's definitely not to make us eat, sleep and get up on time!" Yue Lanxiu smiled, and this smile was used to hide his nervousness.
He had to stay calm and hope it wasn't what he thought it was.
"You are right, and your guess is correct! This is not a clock, it is actually a bomb timer!" Zhuang Youya smiled as she looked at their frightened expressions.
"It's around 8:30 up there now, and at 9 o'clock it will be bang! Nine o'clock is a special time for me. At this time a day ago, you and I were going to fly to a new life together, but later it will become a moment to commemorate you, because at 9 o'clock tonight you will die! This is your own choice!" Her eyes became dim, and it can be seen that she still has feelings for Yue Lanxiu.
Love and hate are one and the same. Without love, there would be no hate. "Actually, you can still beg me. As long as you beg me, I might tell you how to escape!"
"Okay, I beg you!" Yue Lanxiu said happily.
"Do you always stand and beg?"
Before Zhuang Youya could finish her words, Yue Lanxiu knelt down. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of Zhao Rirou's death! So, let alone asking him to kneel, he wouldn't mind even asking him to knock his head.
"Xiu!" Chao Rirou looked at him with heartache.
Zhuang Youya was very satisfied with his obedient attitude. "Okay, I'm not a person who doesn't keep my word. I'll tell you how to get out. A question will be displayed on the screen. If you answer it correctly, the door will open automatically!" She let out several hair-raising laughs and then disappeared from the screen.
As expected, a question appeared on the screen. The three of them gathered around, and Asahirou read: "There are three wine glasses on the table, one blue, one red, and one white. The liquids inside each have a different flavor. Please tell me what each flavor is. Fill in the corresponding brackets and click Submit."
The three of them looked at each other, Yue Lanjing frowned and said, "It's that simple, how could it be so simple?"
The three of them looked at the wine glasses on the table, and Yue Lanjing continued, "Is there any poison in it?"
"Congratulations, you got it right!" A mechanical voice suddenly responded from the screen, "All three cups are highly poisonous! Just a reminder, you won't be able to taste anything if you only take a small amount!"
The three of them froze in place as if struck by lightning.
"He still wants us to die! But the way of death has changed from being blown up to being poisoned! He is simply playing with us!" Chao Rirou said in despair.
Yue Lanxiu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, as if he had made up his mind. "Let me hug you again!"
"What are you thinking about? Are you going to drink the poisoned wine?" Based on Asarirou's understanding of him, he would definitely do so!
"I won't allow you to do this. I won't forgive you if you dare!" She said firmly, "Even if you drank the poisoned wine, you think we can escape successfully? You are too naive. She has no intention of letting us go!"
"Listen to me, I am immune to all poisons!" Yue Lanxiu held her face with great pity.
"What do you mean you're immune to all poisons? Last time you were poisoned and unconscious for a long time. Later, someone anonymously sent you the antidote and you woke up!" Asahirou now knows that the anonymous person is Zhuang Youya.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm not poisoned, my wound is just severely infected!" Yue Lanxiu was telling the truth, because he woke up without taking the antidote.
"I don't care. I can't just watch you drink poison! There must be another way. Let's think about it! I don't want you to die! Having come this far, I absolutely cannot lose you again! Just remember, if you die, I won't live either! If you want me to live, you can't die!"
Yue Lanxiu was moved, feeling deeply happy and satisfied! He hugged her tightly, conveying his same love!
Bang—the sound of wine glasses falling to the ground. While they were expressing their love to each other, Yue Lanjing drank the three glasses of wine on the table without hesitation and without changing her expression.
My stomach twitched violently, and the wine glass in my hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Asahirou and Yue Lanxiu were shocked to see the empty wine glasses, and rushed over to support Yue Lanjing on the left and right.
"Jing?" Chao Rirou looked at him worriedly.
Yue Lanjing smiled with relief. He could still see concern for himself in her eyes. He died without regrets!
"The blue cup is sweet, the red one is salty, and the other one is bitter!" Yue Lanjing told Yue Lanxiu, her face showing that she was trying her best to endure the pain from her body.
Yue Lanxiu felt very uncomfortable and didn't know what to say, but he really couldn't afford to lose even a single point, so he quickly entered the answer on the computer.
The screen then displays that the answer is correct and the door is about to open!
The three of them walked together and looked left and right but couldn't see any door.
"We've been fooled!" As soon as Asarirou finished speaking, her feet suddenly felt empty and the three of them fell uncontrollably.
It turns out the door is right under their feet!
There was still a dark room down there, and the only light came from a computer.
"Are you okay?" After confirming that everyone was fine, the three of them gathered in front of the computer, and Yue Lanjing obviously wanted the support of the other two.
The screen shows that if you want to pass the level, continue to do the questions!
Although they were angry, they had no choice but to press the next page.
Two lines of words immediately appeared in front of me one by one: Zhuang Youya has a 5 mm mole on her body. Where exactly is it?
Asahirou and Yue Lanxiu were both stunned.
Although Zhao Rirou had seen Zhuang Youya's body while she was bathing, she had never seen such a large mole. Could it be in a more private place? Her eyes couldn't help but slant towards Yue Lanxiu, an unhappy look as if asking, "Did you know?"
"I don't know! I really don't know! I haven't seen her body!" Yue Lanxiu hurriedly clarified.
"It's at the lower right side of the left hip!" Yue Lanjing said calmly, and two astonished eyes were immediately cast at him.
"Stop dawdling!" Yue Lanjing asked Yue Lanxiu to answer the questions quickly.
After the answer was submitted, it was shown that the answer was correct. Chao Rirou and Yue Lanxiu looked at Yue Lanjing at the same time.
After clicking the next page, there is another question: Where does Zhuang like Yue Lanxiu to touch her most?
Yue Lanxiu couldn't help but frown, "This bastard, what kind of problems are there! Who knows where they are?"
Asahirou stood aside, looking at him with her arms folded across her chest.
"□□, I guessed it." Yue Lanjing pretended to be thinking seriously.
"Are you really guessing?" Yue Lanxiu questioned. He had never touched Zhuang Youya anyway, and as for him, Yue Lanjing, it was hard to say!
Asahirou tried to input the answer, and surprisingly, she got it right! "You didn't guess, did you tell him?"
"I have never done anything to let you down. If I have concealed anything, I will die right here on the spot!" In order to prove his innocence, Yue Lanxiu did not hesitate to swear a poisonous oath.
Zhao Rirou ignored him and turned to the next page, raised an eyebrow and read: "What part of Zhuang's body did Yue Lanxiu praise as the most beautiful?"
"Breasts." Yue Lanjing answered seriously.
The answer is correct! Chao Rirou wondered why Yue Lanjing could always say it right. She didn't know that Yue Lanjing had pretended to be Yue Lanxiu to get close to Zhuang Youya, so she suspected that she was either guessing or Yue Lanxiu had said something to him!
"Yue Lanxiu never said such words! If he praised another woman like this, his mouth would rot immediately!" Receiving her questioning eyes, Yue Lanxiu was furious.
She actually didn't believe him? Was she so easily fooled? Couldn't she see that it was Yan Mingchi who was driving a wedge between them?
And was Yue Lanjing gloating over someone else's misfortune? Don't think he couldn't see his fox tail swaying back and forth, shaking so weakly!
Asahirou continued reading the next question, "Has Yue Lanxiu seen her naked body?"
Without waiting for them to say anything, Chao Rirou had already typed in the words, then she looked at Yue Lanxiu with a smile, "The answer is correct!"
Yue Lanxiu was about to explain something, but she interrupted him, "Shut up! Don't interrupt me while I'm doing my homework!"
It's over! This woman is taking it more and more seriously! He's so angry that he wants to smash the computer!
"Where did Yue Lanxiu touch her body?"
Chao Rirou entered several incorrect numbers and felt like smashing the keyboard in frustration. Finally, Yue Lanjing told her the correct answer, "All of them."
Yue Lanxiu watched them asking and answering each other with a look of despair. He wanted to remind her not to break the keyboard.
"Which color of underwear does Yue Lanxiu think looks best on her?"
"White, right?" A cunning light flashed in Yue Lanjing's eyes, and she looked at Yue Lanxiu deliberately.
It was as if he had secretly told him that! Did this guy add fuel to the fire because they didn't quarrel? "Yue Lanxiu didn't say anything like that! It was all Yue Lanjing who said it!"
Zhao Rirou was now completely focused on the computer, a line of words leaking out from between her legs, "When did Yue Lanxiu take off her underwear for the first time?"
"May 6th." Yue Lanjing closed her eyes and said.
Yue Lanxiu looked at her, who was almost furious, and couldn't help but sigh. If she still had a bit of rationality, she would remember that on May 6th, wasn't he in the hospital with her?
"How many times did Yue Lanxiu take off her underwear?"
"Four times." Yue Lanjing's expression seemed as if he had fallen into a horror scene. This was something he didn't want to remember and was trying hard to forget!
Yue Lanxiu, standing by, also saw his reaction clearly. It was really difficult for him. Pushing the medicine wasn't an easy task... so he didn't say a word about it! He was afraid that his defenses would suddenly break!
"When was the first time Yue Lanxiu and her became one?"
"May 10th."
After finishing the last question correctly, Asahiro seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. She slammed the table and stood up straight. Just looking at her back, it was obvious that a storm was about to come.
Yue Lanxiu's eyes widened in fear. Jealous women are unkind! He remembered his master telling him this. They won't listen to any explanations and would rather beat you up before saying sorry!
The words "Congratulations on answering all the questions correctly" on the screen suddenly disappeared, and a new row of words gradually appeared: "Ten seconds left, I will explode, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four..."
With three seconds left, Yue Lanjing suddenly noticed it. Her face suddenly changed, and fear filled her face. Her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. Her first reaction was to pull Zhao Rirou back quickly, shouting anxiously, "The computer is going to explode, get out of the way!"
The three of them quickly moved to the wall. This was the farthest distance and there was nowhere else to escape.
Before the explosion, the two men protected Asahirou tightly!
With a loud bang, the earth shook and the wall in front was blown open. The sunlight suddenly shone in, illuminating three frightened faces.
Outside was a large garden that had been abandoned for a long time. It was overgrown with weeds and hidden among several rockery hills. It looked very eerie and gave people a spooky feeling even in broad daylight.
There was indeed a "ghost" standing on a rockery, seemingly waiting for something. His expression was complex, filled with grief, indignation, and resoluteness, and he could not express his endless hatred and vengeance. However, his eyes were filled with melancholy and loneliness, revealing his sorrow and reluctance...
Seeing the three people running out of the house that was about to collapse, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. She knew that he would not die so easily. If he died like this, how would she live the long road ahead alone?
He, Yue Lanxiu, must stay by her side! Next comes the moment of exchange.
Seeing Zhuang Youya, the three of them couldn't help but stop. Even though the sun was shining all over their bodies, they couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
"Sorry to disappoint you, we are all still alive and well!" Yue Lanxiu said this, but his brain and body were like a fully drawn bow with an arrow, ready to be released at any time.
Zhao Rirou glanced at him and could feel the tenseness in his muscles. They had come through every level, they couldn't fail here!
Although her skills are not as good as before, Yan Mingchi is no longer the same Yan Mingchi. His face does not look very good at the moment. Master Jingming's medicine must have taken effect in his body!
That's why he holds a gun in his hand! Why would he need a gun in the past?
What she had to do now was to figure out how to get the gun, and first she had to distract him!
"Are you sure?" Zhuang Youya gestured for him to look at Yue Lanjing beside her, whose face was blue and purple, and who was staggering and almost unable to stand.
"No, I can't do it anymore!" After saying this, Yue Lanjing could no longer hold on and fell down like a fallen leaf.
"Jing!" Yue Lanxiu shouted anxiously, and Chao Rirou immediately supported him as he was about to fall to the ground.
"Don't be sad for someone like me, it's not worth it!" Yue Lanjing lay in her arms. Although his body brought him great pain, he still gave her the most gentle smile on his face, thanked her, and still felt sad for him!
"You must hold on, we will send you to the hospital soon!" She didn't want him to die! No matter how much she hated him, she never thought of him dying!
"Can you forgive me?" Yue Lanjing hesitated but ultimately didn't have the face to ask. She shouldn't have forgiven him.
"You have to live to pay your debt! Do you hear me?"
"I heard it. I will definitely hold on. I still have things to do!" She is still in danger, how can he let her die like this!
He still had to clear the obstacles in front of her! He still had things to do for her, he couldn't die yet!
But he fainted after saying the last word.
"Jing!" Asahiro called his name anxiously.
"It's no use going to the hospital. He was poisoned by me, and only I can cure him!" Zhuang Youya looked at Yue Lanxiu, "I thought it was you who was poisoned, but I never expected it to be him. It seems that he really loves your woman and is willing to die for your woman! If I were you, I would help them. It's impossible that your woman doesn't have him in her heart at all!" She wanted to make them unable to be together with peace of mind because of guilt!
"Have you finished talking nonsense? Tell me your conditions!" Chao Rirou knew him to some extent. From the moment he said he had the antidote, she knew that he wanted to get something in exchange from them, so he left them a way out!
As for what he wanted, if she guessed correctly, it must be related to Xiu. He wanted Xiu to stay by his side!
Zhuang Youya let out several sharp laughs and taunted, "Your expression tells me that you'll agree to any conditions I offer! Are you willing to disregard everything to save Yue Lanjing? Surely Yue Lanjing is more important to you, right?"
"Tell me, what do you want? If you want my life, I'll give it to you right away. If you want Yue Lanxiu, take it right away! I won't stop you! I don't want someone who's fickle and two-timing!"
Yue Lanxiu continued angrily, "Where do you get that from? I only just realized now that Jing still holds a very important place in your heart, a place I can't replace! You've also just realized that the person you love the most has always been Jing, right? Since you two are willing to sacrifice your lives for each other, I'll fulfill your wish. I'll withdraw from any unnecessary hindrances! But there's no need to accuse me of being promiscuous!"
"Why do you think you're so loyal and devoted to me? If that's the case, why are you still having relationships with other women?" Zhao Rirou glanced at Zhuang Youya with resentment. "How dare you say you have no feelings for her at all? When faced with her naked temptation, you dare to swear you're not infatuated at all! In short, I don't believe it. Anyone who can do that kind of thing with her must be in love!"
Yue Lanxiu wanted to explain something at first, but later he was confused by her words and looked like he was starting to think seriously.
Zhuang Youya was moved by his expression, her eyes shining as she looked at him expectantly.
"I was right, right? You can't refute it. You clearly have her in your heart! Go to hell! You fickle guy!" Chao Rirou was so angry that she threw Yue Lanjing over.
"Don't be impulsive! I didn't say anything! Please don't make assumptions!" His first reaction to the sudden flying object was to kick it away, directly kicking it to Zhuang Youya's feet.
Zhuang Youya didn't even look at Yue Lanjing lying on the ground, her whole mind was on the two people who were quarreling.
"Is it really my imagination? Or are you unwilling to face reality? Because you can't accept that you would fall in love with a man! So you are just running away!"
Zhuang Youya stared at Yue Lanxiu expectantly, her heart aching with emotion. Could this really be the case?! Was he not in love with her? Was he just unwilling to accept this fact?
At this moment, all her attention was focused on Yue Lanxiu, and she didn't notice that Yue Lanjing beside her suddenly opened her eyes.
Yue Lanjing stood up silently from behind her, raised a large rock, and smashed it towards her! His movements were swift and smooth.
When she realized the danger and wanted to avoid it, Yue Lanxiu took the opportunity to snatch the gun from her hand. Chao Rirou took out a wooden stick from somewhere, waited for the right moment and hit her on the back, and Zhuang Youya was knocked unconscious!
The cooperation between the three is simply seamless!
Zhao Rirou searched Zhuang Youya's body, but unfortunately she didn't find anything that looked like an antidote. She probably didn't have it with her.
They only found a cell phone and a key on her, and they immediately contacted Jingming.
They could have waited there, but Yue Lanjing was poisoned and the situation looked very bad, so she had to seek medical attention immediately!
Fortunately, Zhuang Youya's car was nearby. They first searched the car but still couldn't find the antidote. Then Yue Lanxiu took charge of driving, and Zhuang Youya was tied to the passenger seat. As long as she showed any sign of waking up, he would knock her out immediately.
Chao Rirou sat quietly in the back seat with Yue Lanjing. He fell weakly in her arms. If he died like this, he would be content.
"That kick you just gave was too hard! Don't you know he's poisoned? You didn't even kick him a little more gently!" Chao Rirou complained to Yue Lanxiu on behalf of Yue Lanjing.
"I've tried my best to control my strength. Even though it's acting, it has to be realistic, otherwise no one would believe it. Do you think Yan Mingchi is easy to fool?"
It turned out that he and Asahirou were not really arguing just now, but were tacitly working together to distract Zhuang Youya's attention!
Yue Lanjing also had the same tacit understanding. He didn't really faint. Zhao Rirou saw that he was pretending and understood his intention in an instant. He wanted to catch Zhuang Youya off guard!
She conveyed this message to Yue Lanxiu through her eyes, so in order to cooperate with him, one threw and the other kicked, sending him to the position closest to Zhuang Youya!
"So, to make it realistic, you'd do anything, including having sex?"
"How is that possible? You should know best who I was with during those two days, right?"
"Of course I know about those two days, but what about the other times?"
Yue Lanjing sighed painfully, "Please, at least stop flirting with me before I die! The reason we were able to defeat her this time was mainly due to Master Jingming's medicine, right? Master Jingming's medicine worked, right?"
"She should be. Otherwise, even if we three work together, we might not be her match! Her defensive alertness, reaction and adaptability are obviously much lower!"
"You played a big role, too. You bewitched him!" Why did Chao Rirou feel that this was the main reason for Yan Mingchi's failure? No matter how powerful a person is, once they are involved in love, they will be full of loopholes and fail miserably!
"If you had obeyed her from the beginning, perhaps the world would have been at peace long ago!" Yue Lanjing closed her eyes and spoke. When she opened them again, there was still lingering sorrow in her eyes. "Have we really subdued him? Can we really rest assured from now on? Will he really not cause us any more trouble? Has he really fallen and never stood up again?"
The atmosphere fell silent, with an unsettling stillness.
"It feels so unreal. I feel like he will catch us off guard again!" Yue Lanjing's heart still couldn't relax. Before she finished speaking the last word, something unexpected happened!
"You're right." The devil's voice cut through the peaceful atmosphere like a sharp blade, piercing through the ears and striking the heart!
At the same time, the devil's manipulation leads people into the abyss of darkness before they have time to react!
Zhuang Youya didn't know when she woke up, and when she said the first word, her body had already crashed into Yue Lanxiu who was driving.
The car, which was originally driving in a straight line, suddenly started to turn in circles. The sudden and sharp braking sound was like the roar of a beast. Finally, it crashed into a big tree on the side of the road with a loud bang, and then the roar stopped!
Yue Lanxiu leaned forward weakly, his head resting on the steering wheel, blood flowing shockingly from his forehead. He wanted to see how Zhao Rirou was doing, but except for moving his eyeballs, he could not move at all.
He glanced to the side and saw Zhuang Youya sitting in the passenger seat. She was still smiling at him. Even though her head was covered in blood and she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers, she still had the energy to laugh at him.
That's right, she was making fun of him, and he was defeated by her in the end!
Her smug look seemed to say, "You still can't escape from my grasp! If we can't live together, then we'll die together!" She would rather perish with them than let them have an easy life!
He quickly shifted his gaze as if he had seen disgusting garbage. He tried his best to look at the back seat, praying that nothing would happen to Asahiro. But at this moment, he had no control over his body at all. His heart felt like it was on fire, burning with anxiety. He felt dizzy, his head became heavier, his vision became more and more blurred, and finally he didn't even have the strength to keep his eyelids open, and everything in front of him was plunged into darkness.
He kept struggling in the darkness, never giving up. He couldn't just die like this, he had to save Xiaorou! Xiaorou...
