Yuquan staggered after being pushed by me, and he was pushed several meters away and fell to the ground.
"No, Brother Yang, I won't leave. You are my friend, how can I leave!"
There were tears in Yuquan's eyes and she looked like she was about to cry.
I turned my head and shouted, "Shut up! Hurry up and leave, otherwise, we will all die here."
After saying that, I picked up the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword on the ground, urged it on, and rushed towards "Guan Xinrui".
“Bang, bang, bang!”
I hacked at it several times, but it was useless. Guan Xinrui's arm grabbed my shoulder. My shoulder hurt instantly, and the next moment, a piece of flesh was torn off by her.
"I'm hungry! I want to kill you! I want to kill people..."
I gritted my teeth and cursed, "Asshole! You will die a miserable death."
Then, my Heavenly Eye suddenly released a green light. The green light was resisted by the strong ghost energy on Guan Xinrui's body, but it also corroded a lot of her ghost energy, and a burnt smell emanated.
But "Guan Xinrui" didn't care, instead she grabbed my neck with both hands and squeezed it tightly.
My breathing became difficult and my throat felt like it was smoked, causing me to feel uncomfortable.
I was thrown to the ground by "Guan Xinrui" again, and my head was dizzy.
Yuquan was about to rush forward with tears in her eyes.
I glanced at him and shouted with all my strength, "Go! Go! Go!"
But Yuquan still stepped forward stubbornly, and with a "bang!", "Guan Xinrui" released a stream of ghost energy, which hit Yuquan's body exactly.
Yuquan flew out, hit his head on a rock, and fell into coma.
It's over, it's over! Yuquan and I are finished!
Now even if I wanted to activate the red lacquer coffin or the fragments of the divine map, it has become impossible.
My heart felt hot and was beating so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.
I don't want to die, I really don't want to die! I'm still young, and there are still many things waiting for me to accomplish.
A tear rolled down the corner of my eye.
And "Guan Xinrui"'s mouth was about to bite my neck, and I seemed to hear the sound of flesh being torn.
What I didn’t expect was that at this moment, my chest felt cold, and the cold feeling spread throughout my body, making me much more sober.
Then, a ball of light flew out from my body.
It’s the Taiyin Pearl, it’s Susu!
"No, don't kill him, don't kill him... Zhang Ziyi, wake up, wake up..."
The Taiyin Pearl kept hitting "Guan Xinrui's" body, and Susu called out "Guan Xinrui's" name - Zhang Ziyi, which should be the full name of Master Wude's daughter.
"Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Ziyi..."
Shouts rang out one after another.
I was strangled so hard that my eyes closed and I passed out.
Then, I knew nothing.
My head felt like a mess and was very dizzy.
My throat felt itchy and I coughed violently a few times.
When I opened my eyes, I found everything around me was white.
Am I dead
But when I took a closer look at my surroundings, I knew I was not dead.
This is a hospital, with white walls and white doors. The sunlight coming in from outside through the window glass is also white.
I was lying on the hospital bed with an IV hooked up to my arm.
“Tick-tick-tick!!”
The sound of saline dripping could be heard in the quiet ward.
There is no one around, only me here.
I tried hard to recall what had happened, but couldn't.
All I know is that Guan Xinrui grabbed my neck, and then I had trouble breathing and my brain was deprived of oxygen. Then, the Taiyin Pearl! Yes, it was the Taiyin Pearl.
Yin Pearl, Susu flew out from the Taiyin Pearl.
Susu shouted that "Guan Xinrui," that is, Zhang Ziyi, should not be allowed to kill me, and she kept shouting Zhang Ziyi's name... ... I can't remember anything else.
Taiyin Pearl, Susu!
I sat up suddenly from the bed and reached into my arms. I was wearing a hospital gown, and my clothes were piled on an empty bed not far away.
"Susu, Susu..."
I kept repeating Susu's name in my heart. I seemed to sense something was wrong.
What is it? Oh, yes, the connection between Susu and I has been cut off!
What is going on.
I tore off the IV drip on the back of my hand, lifted the quilt, and dragged my aching body towards my windbreaker, pants, and cloth bag in the distance.
I tripped over a chair, but I didn't care.
My shoulder was painful and bleeding, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
I pounced on the windbreaker and reached inside to look for the Taiyin Pearl, but I couldn't find it.
After that, I turned the cloth bag upside down again, but still couldn't find the Taiyin Pearl.
I searched every pocket of my clothes, pants... but couldn't find the Taiyin Pearl.
"Susu, Susu..."
I kept calling Susu's name, but no one responded.
In the past, if I had said her name, she would have immediately responded to me from the Taiyin Pearl. But now there is no sound at all.
I rushed to the door, pulled it open with all my strength, and was about to rush out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I met Yuquan and Qi Chen.
Yuquan was holding food in his hand. When he saw me rushing out of the ward, he stared at me in surprise.
The people around me also noticed me and stared at me as if I were a lunatic.
"Brother Yang, you... you're awake!"
Yuquan's lips trembled and he made a little sound.
I hurried over, held Yuquan's shoulders, and asked him, "Yuquan, where is the Taiyin Pearl? Where is the Taiyin Pearl? Where is Susu?"
But Yuquan did not answer me immediately. Instead, he and Qi Chen held my arm together.
After a moment's hesitation, Yuquan said with a somewhat stiff expression: "Brother Yang, you haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go to the ward and have breakfast first. Your shoulder has lost a lot of blood and your arm is broken. You are very weak and need to rest well..."
This made me realize something.
I feel something is wrong.
I glared with red eyes and shouted, "Tell me, where is Susu? Don't change the subject! ... Tell me, where is Susu?"
Yuquan glanced at Qi Chen, and the two of them didn't say anything. They just supported me and dragged me into the ward.
I shouted noisily, attracting more people's attention.
Many people pointed fingers at me, and I even heard someone say that I was a lunatic.
But I don’t care whether he is crazy or not, what I care about is... where Su Su is.
Entering the ward, Yuquan pressed me down on the bed and said anxiously, "Brother Yang, don't shout, I... I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. Just listen to me, okay? Don't worry, the cut on your shoulder just got stitched up, and it's broken again!..."
I was stunned for a moment, and the feeling that something was wrong in my heart became stronger and stronger.
I calmed down and stared at Yuquan quietly.
Yuquan looked at me and sighed. Then he turned to Qi Chen and said, "Qi Chen, you should speak for yourself."
My eyes moved to Qi Chen again.
Qi Chen thought for a moment, then slowly said to me, "Master Yang, your girlfriend's soul has been shattered. She is no longer in this world."
When I heard this, I was completely dumbfounded.
I stared at Yuquan and Qi Chen intently. After a long while, I asked in a trembling voice, "What's going on? You need to tell me.
You must tell me!"
Yuquan sighed and said, "Brother Yang, I was also unconscious at the time. Let Qi Chen tell the story."
I didn't even notice that tears were already flowing from my eyes.
Qi Chen spoke helplessly and recounted what had happened.
It turned out that at the last moment of my coma, Qi Chen and the ghost Guan Xintong turned back. They saw the Taiyin Pearl flying out of my arms. In order to save me, Duoduo burned her own soul, melted the Taiyin Pearl, and then got into the body of "Guan Xinrui".
Su Su's soul burned and successfully awakened Zhang Ziyi's ghost. After Zhang Ziyi woke up, she felt guilty and left Wu Zangmiao, and her whereabouts were unknown.
But Qi Chen told me that Zhang Ziyi had already cursed that she would not harm anyone, and if she did, she would be tortured and doomed. Moreover, Zhang Ziyi said that she would leave here and never contact humans again.
After Zhang Ziyi left, my girlfriend Susu's soul was already dying out.
After leaving a few words, Susu's soul turned to ashes.
When I heard these things, I felt bad and depressed.
I hurriedly asked Qi Chen: "Susu, what did you say at the end? Tell me?"
Qi Chen nodded and said seriously: "Sister Susu, she finally said that she will love you forever and will never regret it in her life."
Love me forever, never regret it...
These words are like a string of spells that keep lingering and circling in my mind and cannot be shaken off for a long time.
I lowered my head, said nothing, and sat there in a daze, looking a little stupid.
The voices of Yuquan and Qi Chen rang in my ears, but I seemed not to hear what they were saying.
SuSu’s smile, SuSu’s voice, everything about SuSu, all appear in my mind.
Love me forever and never regret it in this life!
In the end, Susu exchanged herself for my life.
I thought again of what Yuquan said to me. He said that keeping Susu by my side was also a kind of selfishness.
Yes, if I were not selfish and let Susu go to the underworld, maybe by now Susu would have been reincarnated and become a human again.
I hate myself, I hate that I didn't protect Su Su, I hate why I have to become a Taoist ghost catcher, I hate why all these things come to haunt us, I hate that Zhang Ziyi... ...
But can people really achieve their goals if they are blinded by hatred? This is also impossible.
I didn't have breakfast and let Yuquan and Qi Chen leave.
I just sat quietly in the hospital bed for three days.
During these three days, I thought about a lot, and most of all, what happened between Susu and I in college.
In college, Susu said to me, "Tianyi, how about this? I want to be with you. Let's get married as soon as we graduate from college, okay?"
I smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, when I graduate, I will definitely marry you and give birth to a lot of fat babies."
Susu blushed and hit me with her pink fist.
I reached out and held her in my arms.
But after graduation, for the sake of my own face, superficially speaking, for the sake of the house, for the sake of the job, for the sake of money, I failed to fulfill everything I promised Susu.
I promised her that I would marry her as soon as I graduated from college, but I broke my promise.
Later, she died and I was unable to save her.
Then, her soul was carried in my body. Now, because of me, her soul has dissipated in the world.
I regretted it, I blamed myself, I felt that I was ashamed of Susu. She was able to give up being together for me, but I couldn't do it, I failed her.
Love me forever and never regret it in this life!
These eight words are a declaration of love and also a farewell to love.
These eight words make me feel happy and sad.
I slowly raised my head and looked at the azure blue sky outside the window.
"I love you too, Susu. I will love you forever and never regret it in this life!"
