When dusk came, the river water became golden. Li Yin looked at the scene of the sunset on the western mountain, but the fishing rod in his hand was still nothing. The river didn't fluctuate much, only the water surface above the fishing buoy had slight ripples.
Li Yin put away the fishing rod. This is leased from the nearby management office, and this lake has always been a great fishing spot because of the abundance of fish. In fact, Li Yin vowed that he would never go fishing again in his whole life because of the horrible encounter he had at the Yeshan Lake fishing base when the blood letter was executed. But at this moment, it is an exception.
He still remembers the experience when his mother brought him to fish when he was a child. At that time, it was also in this lake. Although a long time has passed, that memory is still unforgettable.
Since childhood, my mother has been the most beloved only child of the Yang family, and because my grandfather is the eldest son of the family, my mother has enjoyed the most luxurious life since childhood. Several cousins also envied their mother when they were young.
Is it lucky or unfortunate for my mother to meet my father
Dad didn't love his mother. From the very beginning, his mother was just a stepping stone for him to become the president of Zhengtian Hospital. As much as Mom had always been devoted to Dad, despite all that, Dad had never really been emotionally attached to Mom. To use, or to use, in the eyes of that man, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, and there is nothing that cannot be measured by money.
But even with such a father, his mother still loves him deeply. She still supported him behind her back without any complaints or regrets. Even if she knew the cold blood in his bones, she still supported him all the time.
After putting away the fishing rod, Li Yin looked at the empty bucket beside him and smiled wryly.
On that day, if he hadn't gone out, hadn't entered that neighborhood or entered that alley while reading a job hunting magazine, he would be just an ordinary person now. Live a life no different from ordinary people, write online novels, and spend your ordinary and fulfilling every day. It is also possible, as it is now, to go fishing occasionally, to travel with friends and relatives, and to meet a good woman and marry her in the future. And mom, wouldn't...
Although, if it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have met Ziye, and wouldn't have maintained such a beautiful and desperate love with Ziye.
It's just that if you take a wrong step, you will fall into an eternal abyss that you can't get out of.
Now, he has lost everything. He didn't want to go back to the house with only his cold-blooded dad, and he didn't want to go back to that apartment that was no different from hell. I don't want to challenge those horrible blood characters anymore, and I don't want to continue wandering in nightmares in today's days. He doesn't want to face these things anymore.
He dropped his rod and kicked the bucket into the lake. Then, his knees fell to the muddy ground, and his hands kept grabbing the soft soil. At dusk, he felt what it meant to truly die.
He will never see the sun of tomorrow again.
It was still dark when we left the apartment. So, if he didn't go back to the apartment, he would die from this curse before the sun rose tomorrow.
He raised his head and looked at the setting sun that burned the sky into a fiery red, the endless golden lake, the flock of birds that occasionally flew by, the shadowy forest on the opposite bank, and the layer upon layer of mountain peaks in the distance .
He wanted to completely imprint that scene in his mind.
Tears burst again. Sprinkle continuously on the palm of your hand. Want to live, but can not live. Even if he can still see the light of this world, but Li Yin's world is always dark.
I really want to continue living in this world, I really want to live...
However, how to live
In this world, how to live...how to live...
The hands have been deeply embedded in the soil, and the tears have soaked the front of the clothes. The heart seems to be constantly torn, constantly chopped into countless pieces. Then, he raised his head, facing the sky, and roared crazily!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—"
He didn't stop until Li Yin's voice was almost hoarse.
No matter how much I hated that apartment, I couldn't think of any way to cause the slightest harm to that apartment. Open the existence of the apartment to the public? That is impossible. The apartment can even be manipulated by the judiciary, let alone public opinion? Besides, even the power of the state can't do anything to that apartment. The worldly powers have nothing against the curse of the apartment.
In the two years since he entered the apartment, Li Yin has done countless investigations to understand the birth of the apartment, the cause of the curse, and the place where the bloody words were executed. I have read many religious books and some supernatural rumors. Even so, the apartment cannot really be parsed, either from a religious, psychological or occult perspective. For what reason did the residents have to carry out these ten instructions in blood? Why are there horrible and supernatural phenomena in the places where those blood words are executed? What exactly is the devil who appears once every fifty years
The mysteries behind the apartment are too numerous to count.
But in the end, nothing came of it. Li Yin could only come to the conclusion that following the instructions written in blood was the only way to leave the apartment. There is no other way for residents to gain access to the world of light. Even if he is as strong as a terrifying killer like Shangguanmian, his life is still at the mercy of him.
Even if he knows better than anyone else, how important it is to execute a blood letter successfully, even if he knows better than anyone...
He still made a choice.
Erase the blood three times.
However, although Li Yin didn't want to admit it, and although he was always suppressed in his heart, at this moment, especially after the bouts of roaring just now, he finally discovered one thing.
In fact, he has been regretting it.
That day, after he spoke to Shen Yu, Ziye was in a very dangerous juncture. Because he was dependent on Ziye's life and death, at that moment, only Ziye was on his mind, and he only wanted to save Ziye. With that strong thought, he suppressed his fear, erased his execution records of the three bloody words, and exchanged Ziye's life.
However, if it were changed to now, would he still be able to do this
If he hadn't done that then, now, he was only two bloods away from leaving the apartment. That way, perhaps, he could ascend to the pinnacle that the residents dreamed of.
Then, Li Yin finally realized that he actually didn't love Ziye as much as he imagined.
He has always regretted it, although he forcibly suppressed that regret, but it is always stuck in his throat. He convinced himself that if it was for Ziye, for the love in his heart, then it was worth the effort. He always hoped so.
But…
He finally understood now. In fact, if he was asked to make another choice when he was calm, he would not be able to exchange blood for Ziye without hesitation.
After all, he is not Silver Night, Deep Rain, not the kind of person who can live and die for love. He is not such a lover.
I regret it.
In the end he regretted it.
However, even if he regretted it, thinking of the smile he showed when he was reunited with Ziye after he was rescued, Li Yin could feel relieved a little.
However, from now on, he will never be able to see Ziye's smile again.
He stood up and took a step.
When he stepped into the icy lake, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. The burden that had been weighing on his heart seemed to be lifted, and he could truly be free.
The other foot also stepped into the lake.
Then, keep wading, and soon, the water is submerged to the knees.
Li Yin's expression didn't change at all when his lower body was completely submerged in the water. He didn't look back, although he knew that if he continued, it would be impossible even if he wanted to turn back.
keep going, keep going...
It seems that the soul is gradually sinking into the bottom of the water...
late at night.
In the apartment lobby, the residents are anxiously waiting for the latest news. Xing Chen had come back just now, so far, Li Yin still has no news. Hearing from Xingchen, Ziye was about to collapse, and it was the first time he saw such a calm Ziye with such a grief-stricken expression.
To Ziye, losing Li Yin is probably even more unacceptable than executing the bloody letter, right
At midnight at this time, I walked on the street at night with Shen Yu. She almost fell to the ground after walking a few steps. Her body seemed to be completely paralyzed, and she would collapse after walking a few steps.
"Ziye, are you alright?" Shen Yu, who was supporting Ziye, showed an extremely sympathetic look, and said, "If you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on!"
"Li Yin... Li Yin..." Ziye's hair was disheveled and her eyes became empty. She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
If Li Yin can't come back tomorrow morning, then he will definitely die.
"Shen Yu, tell me!" Ziye cried while clutching Shen Yu's shoulders: "Is there any way to find him? The hidden rules of the apartment, is there a way to find the location of the residents? Tell me! Please tell me!"
"Sorry, Ziye, no..."
"Why!" Ziye suddenly roared with all his strength: "Why did you tell him that hidden rule at that time? Do you know what he sacrificed to save me? If it wasn't for me, he would only have two bloody words left now." Don’t you know how important blood is to the residents? Every blood is a life! Why, why did you do that! Just for your boring human experiment, what did you do!”
Ziye looked at Shen Yu with eyes that were almost devouring, and Shen Yu also lowered her head, not looking at Ziye.
No matter how sad you are, time still passes.
At midnight, Li Yin still didn't come back.
One in the morning, two in the morning, three in the morning...
Ziye just sat blankly at the door of the apartment, looking at the revolving door of the apartment as if turning into an ancient fossil. She seemed to be still expecting a miracle to happen, to see Li Yin return. And there were several residents waiting with her, Yin Ye, Yin Yu, Xing Chen, Shen Yu, Shen Gu Sayoko and others also accompanied her.
Four o'clock in the morning. The cigarette butts under Yin Ye's feet had already piled up, and Yin Yu had already poured himself several cups of coffee. Everyone had panda eyes, but they still stared at the door of the apartment.
Li Yin, are you not coming back like this
Midnight, from beginning to end, did not say a word. Although Yin Yu and Shen Yu kept talking to her, she seemed to have turned into a speechless doll, just sitting on a chair, staring at the revolving door in front of her.
It's five o'clock.
At this time, except for Shen Yu, everyone around Ziye was asleep.
A figure suddenly walked out from the alley opposite the apartment. The figure started walking towards the door of the apartment.
Suddenly, Ziye's eyes brightened, she jumped up and rushed towards the revolving door. Shen Yu immediately stood up and followed closely behind.
"Li Yin!"
Ziye rushed out of the revolving door and looked at Li Yin who was not far ahead.
"You're back..." Ziye covered her face, she trembled and almost fell after taking only one step, but Shen Yu helped her up.
"Ah," Li Yin walked over to Ziye and came in front of her.
He still came back.
Still came back to this apartment.
Living is harder than dying.
Because he still wanted to go back, even if it was a road of no return, Li Yin also hoped that he could see the bright world again.
Even in the dark night, even if he regrets his choice, he can still find it to replace the existence of light.
Looking at Ziye in front of him, Li Yin took a step forward.
"I'm back."
