Evil As Humans

Chapter 220: Love

Views:

In the "lonely" yard, Qi Xin picked up a "lonely" tree at random and leaned on it to rest.

The "lonely" one that was used as a cushion dared not speak out, it just lay there quietly, its soft limbs curled up into a ball. In the small courtyard where the four seasons mixed, Qi Xin was spending his time leisurely, and he even looked a little content.

"Why not help the cub?" a voice suddenly interrupted.

The lonely cats heard the news in a flash, and after confirming who was talking to them, they lazily lay back in their original places.

A woman stood at the gate of the courtyard. She was wearing a snow-white woven cape, which almost covered her. The cape was made of thick and hard thread, and looked like a miniature human arm. Most of the woman's face was covered by the cape, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.

Qi Xin: "I have taught him everything I should have taught him. If he is willing to work for humans, then he can go."

"What I want to ask is, why don't you go?" The woman's lips curled up, her voice as soft as water. "It's not easy to find the scared cub, you should take good care of it."

Qi Xin: "Take good care of him? I'm not going to risk my life for him... But my opponent is you, I'm not that stupid."

Love stood quietly at the door without answering.

Qi Xin rolled his eyes without disguising. Until now, Love has been continuously hitting the gap with its original body, and it was too weak to control humans for a long time. Now, this guy can not only control humans, but also use humans as carriers to carry a little clone to the other side.

This is hitting myself.

Thinking that Yin Ren was most likely here, Huang Jin's emotions quickly calmed down again - with Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng talking in front of him, if something happened again, he would probably be doomed to die.

She said softly.

This kind of scene used to be common, but now it can probably only be seen by a small group of people, such as the "lonely".

Hu Tao was stunned. She seemed to have never thought about this question and had no answer for a moment.

Why are you looking for someone

"I will atone for my sins." Ai Yi's voice lowered a little. "When everything is over, I will be responsible for the chaos on the other side for thousands of years."

Ai Yi Chong Qi Xin bowed her head and performed a human greeting. A strand of soft black hair leaked out from under the cloak, with the ends of the hair slightly curled. Then she turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Hu Tao said solemnly: "This is someone else's place. You are trespassing. Anyone outside will be eaten by the Yuanwu. But you are different. You are my acquaintances. At least you can keep your lives."

"What happened to the people outside?" Zhong Cheng asked directly. "We need the exact situation before we can formulate a search plan."

"Hello."

Qi Xin let go of the cat's soft limbs.

"Even if I tell you, you won't change your position easily." Ai Yi replied softly, "I'm just reminding you that it's a good habit to leave room for everything. I hope you can stick to it."

Thousands of years ago, on the night when "Fear" fell, "Sorrow" hid its true form. As one of the oldest and most powerful Yuanwu, if Qi Xin wanted to hide deliberately, she could only find "Satisfaction" if she wanted to. Since then, Qi Xin has only controlled a very small part of her body to walk on the other side. She will not obey the instructions of love, nor will she deliberately go against love, but just live in harmony.

"Don't worry, the cub still helped me, and I have a better solution." Ai Yi pulled down his hood. "It's a perfect solution that won't have any loopholes."

Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhong Cheng in disbelief. He had just felt that Zhong Cheng brought more blood and flesh than them, and his backpack was bulging.

"I say, as long as you choose the wrong path, whether you walk in a ballet or crawl forward, wrong is wrong."

How come the legendary great master can't even control his own fierce ghost! Besides, even if the fierce ghost is looking for someone, if he really follows the spiritual contract, he should find Yin Ren. How did this fierce ghost find them

"According to you, humans shouldn't be overcoming diseases and delaying aging, nor should they be preventing natural disasters and conducting research to increase production. Is it 'right' to just let things compete with nature and the fittest survive? I can't be perfect all at once, that's all."

"Don't worry, no matter how hard you fight with that cub, I won't intervene."

"How can there be so much right and wrong?"

Huang Jin's face was as ugly as the bottom of a pot. The surroundings were all white and silent, and he was already irritated by the flash. When he heard that the people outside were in danger, he wanted to run away right away.

She looked at the "lonely" cats not far away. The lonely cats had plenty of food, and a few big cats were using tablecloths to hold the newly born lonely cats and guide them to eat.

There is no difference from Qi Xin today.

"Aren't you, Group Nine, the best at finding missing persons?" Hu Tao said dreamily.

Lu Xiaohe hugged her mother tightly, not moving, and almost bit her lips until they bled. At her feet, white silk threads were crawling around, trying to wrap around the unconscious mother.

Qi Xin occasionally fiddled with the cat's soft limbs and lowered his eyes.

Wait, is it possible that...

Qi Xin's tone remained unchanged.

Love turned around, and the end of the pale awning was swallowed by the white mist.

At the same time, Zhong Chengshuo's thoughts were working at high speed. Countless tiny threads crawled over his instep and then slowly crawled away.

"I see. We should always leave room for maneuver. No wonder you came to warn me in person."

Qi Xin laughed out loud: "You are indeed the most like a human being, even the self-righteous aspect is so similar - as long as the purpose is good, the losses incurred can be ignored?"

Qi Xin shook his head and said nothing more.

"Just eating 'Happiness' won't give you this kind of power." Qi Xin said, "Is it because of your broken net? What did you do?"

It is hard to say whether that thing is a real cub or not. She won't act rashly even if she doesn't show love.

Love's voice faded: "It was born in the human world and has no sense of belonging to the other side. It is foolish to let absolute power belong to "outsiders."

Qi Xin: "Responsibility is not something that can be achieved by just talking. I'm telling you, you still have a chance now—the frightened cub has self-awareness, and you can negotiate with him and find another solution."

When it comes to love, one's own final destination is an uncertain factor.

"Thank you." Zhong Cheng said, looking at the face that was only a piece of flesh left, "Do you have a photo or something about the person you are looking for?"

"Forget it." Qi Xin sighed, "Just go."

Ai Yi is caught in a gap and cannot move. Even if she divides her power, Hu Tao is just a powerful ghost, how can she compete with the Fearful Cub? Zhong Cheng said that he could understand using only Hu Tao to locate Yin Ren and summon the Yuanwu army to encircle and suppress them. It seems reasonable to give Hu Tao power, let her attack Group Nine, and then give her what she wants.

But now, Kurumi just pestered them to find the missing person she cared about, and did not attack them directly.

It's so weird, it's almost like...

[Delay time.]Yin Ren muttered loudly in Zhong Cheng's mind.

[I understand.] Zhong Cheng said, squeezing the backpack soothingly.

"Well, I figured it out. I know how to get you to find someone." Walnut pondered for a long time and brushed away her bloody hair. "Why don't you just meet him?"

Then, Kurumi's memories came flooding back. Perhaps it was the power of love that helped. Instead of taking shape, these memories instantly entered everyone's mind.

Walnut is reading in the bedroom. Her face is rosy and her hair is fluffy and clean, shining with a beautiful color. A woman in her fifties is sitting by the bed and talking on the phone.

At that time, the decoration of the house was rustic but warm and full of the smell of fireworks.

Hu Tao was tired of reading. She put down the book and hugged the woman's waist: "Mom."

"Your third aunt just said that you should not go out for the next few days. It's a mess outside, with children being lost and people being killed. I don't know what happened." Mother Walnut hung up the phone and touched her daughter's hair. "Luckily your father and I came here, otherwise I would be worried to death."

"We have Ashen here. We have a lot of people, so we are not afraid of anyone coming." Hu Tao smiled happily.

"Honey, come and try something salty. Mom said that you have to eat light food when you're pregnant, so I don't dare put too much salt in it."

Before Hu Tao finished speaking, a young man walked into the bedroom carrying a bowl of pork rib soup.

The man was not handsome, with dark skin and a bit fat. But he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was well-proportioned. He glanced at Mother Walnut, and his smile became a little more apprehensive.

"Hey, hey!" Walnut turned over and sat up - she must have just become pregnant not long ago, and her body shape was completely unrecognizable.

She drank a mouthful of soup from the man's spoon and pursed her lips with satisfaction: "It smells delicious. Ah Shen, you are really good at cooking."

The young man smiled and curved his eyebrows: "Of course! The meat is the best!"

After saying this, he looked at Mother Walnut hesitantly for a while, but finally, he suppressed his shyness and kissed his wife on the forehead.

Mother Walnut looked at the man and smiled lovingly: "Xiao Shen, take a rest if you are tired. I will watch the soup."

"No, no, I'll cook." Ashen waved his hand quickly, "It'll only be a little while longer, you can take a rest."

Mother Walnut continued with a smile, "My hands are busy, so why don't I go out and stock up on some food? Things have been a bit uneasy lately. In just the past few days, there have been seven or eight police cars coming by, saying all sorts of things."

Ashen: "It's chaotic outside. I'll go with you this afternoon."

"Good boy."

As the two chatted, there was a sudden banging on the door, which sounded like someone was up to no good. Ashen made a gesture to Walnut, signaling her to stay in the bedroom, and grabbed a knife from the table: "Who is it?"

"Open the door!" an elderly man shouted, "I'm Lao Hu, and I was injured by a madman outside!"

Ashen looked through the cat's eyes for a few seconds, then quickly opened the door. Hearing that her father was in trouble, Hu Tao couldn't help it. She walked out of the bedroom and looked at the living room with concern.

Squeak.

The heavy security door opened, and the frail old man was pushed in. He was covered in blood and gasping in pain.

"Old Hu!" "Dad!" Mother Hu Walnut and Hu Walnut screamed almost at the same time.

Walnut's father fell, revealing the thug behind him - a strong man with bulging eyes and a sharp knife in his hand covered in blood. He rushed into the room, closed the security door, and blocked the kitchen door in advance.

"Mom, take Walnut to the bedroom!" Ashen shouted, "I'm here to save Dad!"

Mother Hu Tao almost collapsed, but after hearing these words, she seemed to regain her strength. She grabbed Hu Tao's wrist and dragged her to the bedroom: "Girl, girl! Hide and call the police, quickly!"

Walnut's mother's eyes were filled with tears. She locked the bedroom door and dragged the bedside cabinet and table and chairs to the door. That was not all. After blocking the bedroom, she took Walnut to hide in the master bedroom bathroom and locked the door inside the bathroom.

Unfortunately, there were not many things in the bathroom, and there was nothing to block the door. Walnut's mother could only protect Walnut with her body. She was stiff, her hands and feet were cold, and her breathing was so rapid that it was frightening.

Hu Tao was panicking and dialed all the numbers she could, from 110 to 120. Then she curled up beside the toilet and snuggled up to her mother.

There are thugs breaking into houses and killing people. Please save us.

My father is seriously injured, save us.

Fighting movies are all lies. There was no roar or screaming coming from the living room, only the dull sound of bodies colliding and heavy objects falling to the ground. Mixed in with the old man's moans, those sounds passed through layers of doors and filtered, and only very faint sounds were left in the bathroom. Every second was like a delay, rolling over her skin like a knife cutting.

Walnut looked at the toilet door with frosted glass, tears streaming down her cheeks. With her mother by her side, she did not dare to cry too loudly, fearing that the old lady would not be able to bear it emotionally.

Just ten minutes ago, this home was peaceful. In the kitchen, soup was simmering and rice was cooking. My parents and loved ones were by my side. This should have been the safest place in the world.

Finally, the strange noises in the living room stopped.

Walnut felt cold all over. She hugged her mother tightly and stared at the glass door of the bathroom more intently, as if it was the last line of defense in the world.

"It's okay, it's okay!" A familiar and weak voice came from the living room. "Mom, wife... Hey, why can't this door be opened?"

Just as Hu Tao was about to stand up, he was held down by his mother.

"I'll go check it out." She stroked her daughter's hair. "You just stay here and don't go anywhere."

After saying that, Mother Walnut carefully left the bathroom.

Walnut sat in the gap between the toilet and the bathtub. She heard her mother talking to her lover and smelled the peach scent of the bathroom and the floral scent of shampoo on her hair. Outside the small bathroom window, the weather was particularly gloomy. The black clouds rolled together like a huge whirlpool.

Boom, boom, boom, her heart was beating wildly.

Outside the door, the conversation between my mother and her lover gradually subsided. New voices joined in, seemingly from the police and doctors who came to inquire. Mixed in with the conversation was the rustling sound of heavy objects being moved by my mother bit by bit.

Finally, there was the thump of the security door closing. The creaking sound also stopped, and it seemed that my mother had successfully made it to the living room and remembered to close the door.

The volume of a normal conversation is not loud, and this time Hu Tao couldn't hear anything at all.

This is... Is everything okay

Great, no danger. As expected, she knew that this was the safest place in the world.

"Mom? Ashen? I'm out!" Seeing that no one had returned to the bedroom for a long time, Hu Tao shouted loudly. "How is Dad? Has the ambulance taken him away?"

The only answer she got was silence.

What's going on

Why is no one answering

Walnut was about to get nervous when he saw his mother's vague silhouette outside the frosted glass. Her black hair, ivory skin, and red clothes were transformed into a few hazy blocks of color by the frosted glass.

"Mom..." Walnut breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to the door.

Huh

Is mother wearing red today

"Mom?" Hu Tao's throat was hoarse and trembling. "A Shen? Dad? Mom?"

Still no one answered, and the mother's figure disappeared from the door. I could only hear the sound of slippers on the floor and a series of footsteps leaving the bedroom.

I was just imagining things. It must be my imagination. Ah Shen and she were childhood sweethearts. They had known each other since they were young and their families were also friends. Ah Shen said everything was fine. What could have happened

Walnut closed her eyes and finally opened the door.

She saw a lot of blood.

The warm wooden floor was stained with blood. The furniture she had carefully selected was lying on the ground, and the soft bedding was uncovered, which was no different from when she had just left, which was incompatible with the strong smell of blood.

Click, click. Something was making a sound in the living room. Walnut swallowed her saliva, held back her sobs, stretched her head out, and quietly looked into the living room.

The kitchen door was closed tightly, stained with blood, and the aroma of meat soup kept coming out from the cracks in the door. The living room was a mess, and the glass teapot was broken into pieces. The green plants were tilted here and there, and the TV was hanging crookedly on the wall, revealing the wires that looked like blood vessels. There were splashes of red everywhere on the walls and the floor.

The thugs weren't there, the parents weren't there, only her lover was... mopping the floor.

The old mop wiped over the blood stain, leaving a light red color.

Although Hu Tao was not wearing shoes, her steps were silent. But Shen seemed to have eyes behind his head. He stopped mopping the floor and wiped the sweat off his face: "Dear."

There were still some blood stains on his face.

It was a roller coaster ride, and her brain didn't know how to interpret everything in front of it, nor did it know whether to be nervous or relaxed.

"Dad, Mom...?"

"Your father's wounds look scary, but they are not serious. Your mother accompanied him to the hospital." Shen laughed, "Are you scared by the blood? That was on your mother. She just went to the bedroom to get two sets of clean clothes."

Walnut looked at her husband blankly.

"Don't be afraid. The man just got drunk and hurt someone. The police took him away. Okay, honey, you should go to bed as soon as possible. Don't get scared."

"Why..." Walnut swallowed and tried to hold back the dizziness. "Why didn't mom tell me before she left?"

"Dad was bleeding so badly that we couldn't catch up." Ashen stopped mopping the floor and looked at her sideways. "I told you that you were scared, but you didn't believe me. Look, aren't you imagining nonsense again?"

Hu Tao wanted to raise the corners of her mouth, but her face seemed frozen and she didn't respond at all.

It was like she desperately wanted to believe that everything was fine, and the person she trusted the most also told her that nothing was wrong. She should believe him, she wanted to believe him so much. But why couldn't she feel at ease

The window door was open, and the breeze gently swayed the curtains. The bedroom door was open, revealing the tip of the iceberg of the mess on the floor. Only the kitchen door was tightly closed, with two eye-catching bloody handprints on it.

It was like a black hole, madly attracting Walnut's attention.

Light filtered through the crack in the door into the living room, but it seemed to be blocked by something, casting only intermittent shadows. The gurgling sound of the stewing soup and the faint sound of the stove running, a mixture of the ordinary and the abnormal, made Walnut feel uneasy to the point of coldness in her hands and feet.

"The kitchen door."

Kurumi muttered.

"Why is the kitchen door closed so tightly? Shen, I want to drink a bowl of soup..."

Ashen's expression changed slightly: "Well, I'll go get it for you, you go and take your time."

"There's so much blood in the bedroom. I don't want to lie there." She looked into his eyes and said, "I can just go get it myself."

Having said that, Hu Tao rushed to the kitchen while her husband was not paying attention. Ashen did not stop her. He stood there leaning on the mop, with a look of grievance on his face.

The door opened slowly.

The mother's frightened face was like a bomb, instantly blowing Kurumi's mind to pieces.

The bathroom door, behind it was a mess. The bedroom door, on the other side stood her husband.

The rest of the people were behind the kitchen door.

Mother's throat was cut by the blade, and her light-colored pajamas were stained blood red. She covered the wound tightly with her hands, but the wound was too deep - Mother's eyes were wide open, her face was full of fear, and her mouth was not closed, as if she was about to shout something.

Her body was piled on top of her father's. Walnut's father's skin was pale and frightening outside the blood stains. He curled up like a decoration in the kitchen. There was still a trace of surprise on his face, and he was unable to recover from the peaceful days.

Walnut tried to find some breathing rhythm in her parents, but she couldn't.

There is more below.

The intruder was crouching at the bottom, his neck twisted in a strange way, his bulging eyes staring at a certain direction. There was madness between his brows, but his eyes were stained with tears.

The pool of blood spread along the kitchen floor tiles. In the black and red reflection, the soup pot was boiling, emitting white smoke.

Maybe I should faint, Walnut thought. Her head ached, her lips were numb, and her limbs were numb as if they didn't exist, but she was awake, and she was still there, forced to look at this nightmarish scene.

In the morning, she was still complaining that her father ate too many fried dough sticks, which was bad for his health. Just now, she was hugging her mother tightly, and her mother's body temperature and smell were still lingering in her arms.

How come they are gone

"Why don't you serve the soup?" Ashen asked softly.

Walnut instinctively stepped back a few steps and bumped into her husband's arms. The familiar body temperature now made her heart beat fast, and Walnut almost screamed.

"Are you afraid of these?" Ashen grabbed Hu Tao's shoulders and pulled her towards him. "I can't do anything about it. It's my parents' fault."

Hutao's lips trembled. She wanted to call the police, but she couldn't hold the phone. Her mobile phone fell into a pool of blood and was stained black and red.

"I killed that scumbag. I had hidden him and the police had sent him away. Just imagine, that bastard rushed into our house with a knife! In the United States, I could have killed him with a clear conscience."

Ashen grabbed Hutao's shoulders tightly, and his words were even earnest.

"But your dad always looks at me like that... like I did something bad."

Kurumi opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"He will definitely report me if he gets out, baby, just think about it. If I get caught, our child will never be able to hold his head up high. He is obviously your biological father, but he stands on the side of the criminals! He definitely doesn't love you!"

"Let me go..." Walnut murmured.

"Your mother was the same. She saw the kitchen door was closed and insisted on looking in. This is our home, she can't interfere so much, right? After I showed her, her reaction was exactly the same as your father's - she also didn't care about our family or our children at all."

The grievance in Ashen's tone became even stronger.

"After all these years, they clearly know how much I love you and that I would never do anything to hurt you. But it doesn't matter, baby. Even if your parents don't love you and your child, you still have me. I will take good care of you in the future, ah."

madman.

Walnut thought dully.

This must be a nightmare.

In short... In short, pretend that nothing is wrong first, and find an opportunity to escape first. Hu Tao's body was trembling, but she still swallowed her screams, held back her tears, and forced out an ugly smile: "Okay."

"I knew it. My child's mother understands me best." Ashen kissed her forehead. "You can serve the soup yourself. I'll clean up the house first."

After saying that, he bent down and picked up the cell phone that Hu Walnut had dropped in the pool of blood.

Hu Tao opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of meat hit his face. She grabbed the spoon with trembling hands and slowly poured soup into the bowl. Later, she called Ashen over, poured hot soup on him... and then found an opportunity to open the security door and escape first.

Yes, do that. She can't cry yet, can't break down, must smile.

The iron spoon hit the edge of the enamel pot with a crisp sound. Walnut moved and was almost tripped by the strong man's outstretched arms.

Such a mistake could not happen anytime soon, and Walnut tried to squeeze out the last bit of her rationality. She squatted down and moved the strong man's arm - the man stretched out his hand desperately, as if he wanted to grab something.

Walnut looked along his arm and saw a huge refrigerator in the corner. The refrigerator door was not closed properly, and a piece of plastic bag was stuck outside the sealing strip.

That was the door they usually used to store frozen foods. Walnut never cooked, so it was usually Ah Shen who did the cleaning.

Don't be nosy.

But…

Don't be nosy, she thought.

but…

Walnut felt as if the strings in her head were about to break. Her parents' bodies were at her feet, and boiling soup was sitting on the pot. Countless dark thoughts were like bubbles in the soup, bubbling up and floating on the surface of the soup, making her uneasy.

I want to escape, but I also want answers.

Ashen happened to be tidying up the sofa with his back turned. All kinds of thoughts were like ants crawling all over his body. Walnut took a deep breath, but finally couldn't help it and quietly moved towards the refrigerator.

This is the last door, she thought.

The refrigerator door opened silently, exhaling cold air. Behind the last door, pork bones, fish, and steak were stored. Seeing these ordinary things, Walnut breathed a sigh of relief for a moment. She calmed down and carefully put the frozen products back.

Something rolled out of the package of pork bones.

Walnut grabbed the piece of minced meat in her hand. She was about to put it back, but her movement suddenly stopped.

It was a human finger, and judging by its size, it clearly belonged to a child. And judging by its frozen state, the small body had been frozen for more than a day.

[It's a mess outside, with children being lost and people being killed, and no one knows what's going on.] Her mother's words sank into her mind.

The walnuts are like falling into an icy cave.

She turned her head and looked into the crazy and desperate eyes of the strong man. Next to those eyes, there was a pair of feet wearing slippers.

"Why did you suddenly think of looking through the refrigerator? Didn't I tell you that the kitchen is my responsibility?" Shen sighed repeatedly, "... Hey, did you see that? Blame it on me. I didn't handle it properly, so that guy came to my house."

He glanced at the pot of soup.

"As expected of my wife, I thought she had used up all the stuff. I'll tidy up the fridge later to make sure there's nothing left."

"... Why?" Walnut no longer knew what tone her words had. She knelt beside the refrigerator in a daze, her thoughts on the verge of stopping.

Ah Shen laughed again: "They say you are what you eat. I like little girls, so I let you eat more."

Hu Tao's body was unsteady, and she pressed one hand into the pool of blood beside her.

"And I can hear voices. Kill them and God will reward me. Eat these and you will surely be blessed too... baby?"

Walnut vomited at the smell of the rich meat soup. The vomit slid into her blood and into the kitchen she was so familiar with. Walnut felt like she was going to go crazy in the next second.

What hot soup, what calling the police. She just wanted to escape, escape from this ridiculous place.

If this was a nightmare, why hadn't she woken up yet

"Is this a pregnancy reaction? Baby, it's really hard." Ashen leaned towards her, stretched out his hand, and spoke softly. "Come..."

Kurumi dodged instinctively and slapped the hand away.

Blood splashed everywhere.

Ashen was stunned. He looked at his hand in disbelief: "You hit me?"

"Mad." Walnut choked, her pajamas stained with vomit and blood. "Mad, crazy—"

The man's face gradually turned red, and anger appeared between his eyebrows: "I am doing this for your own good! I have just explained it to you, why are you talking like that!"

"Stay away from me!" Walnut looked at the bowl of hot soup.

It was on the stove, and she was sitting paralyzed in front of the refrigerator. It was too far away, she couldn't stand up, and she didn't want to touch it again. Remembering that she had tasted a spoonful of it before, she started vomiting wildly again.

Her husband squatted in front of her, and Ashen picked up the bowl of soup himself, with a spoon in his hand. His face showed his usual grievance and tolerance, as if they had just had an ordinary quarrel.

"Stop it," he said. "Drink some soup and rest. You are pregnant and your mood is unstable... When you calm down, we can talk."

Walnut shook her head frantically. She wanted to stand up, but she had no strength. She wanted to shout, but her throat was cramped and her cell phone had been taken away by her husband.

The hot soup was brought to her mouth, and Walnut turned her head quickly. She didn't know whether her movements were too big or her husband was too strong, but there was a blood mark on her face.

"Take a sip, come on."

Ashen ignored the blood on the spoon, took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with gentleness.

"Take a sip, and consider it our reconciliation. Honey, you can't really be mad at me. We've known each other for years."

He delivered the spoon again.

Time and again, Walnut dodged frantically, her face being cut into a bloody mess. Every time she dodged, her husband's face became more suspicious. Finally, he stood up as if he had suddenly realized something, put down the spoon, and picked up the knife.

"I wonder why you won't forgive me."

He looked at Hu Tao's bloody face and said angrily.

"You're not my wife, you're a monster. Don't use my wife's face—"

The knife fell with a sudden movement.

Walnut's last vision was filled with endless blood. She could see the bodies of her parents pressed together, and the kitchen ceiling she had chosen with longing. And what occupied most of her vision was her childhood sweetheart, her husband.

The man's cheek was clean, only stained with a little blood. He looked straight into her eyes, his gaze focused.

"He ran away and the police didn't catch him. After signing the spiritual contract with Yin Ren, I went to look for him several times myself, but I couldn't find anything. According to the police files, he was a fugitive."

The memory is long, but it only takes a moment to receive.

Walnut floated in front of the nine groups of people with a smile on her face.

"Now you know what he looks like."
