Xiao Xiao's soul broke away from the shackles of his body and became a bystander. She examined everything that was happening in the ward. The intense and exciting battles in the barrier were enough to surprise her, but at this moment her attention was focused on her own body, which was glowing with a faint white light.
Her sister, who was exactly like her, was lying on the bed, trying to escape from her sister Xiao Ai's body. She discovered that the faint light also came from her sister's soul. She remembered that she was very sure that her sister had just fainted, but judging from her current condition, she was working very hard to get out of her own body.
"Sister?! What are you doing?!" she shouted as she rushed to the bed.
Her sister turned back to look at her, the expression on her face had not changed much from when her neck was stuck. There were still tears rolling in her eyes full of complaints, but the fear before was gone.
She turned back to look at her weak self lying on the bed and said, "You have long been tired of it, right? In fact, even I have long been tired of being so useless. Treatment is really too painful. Now, you know? This kind of pain is unimaginable. I seem to have been taking medicine every day since I can remember. When I was a child, I thought the medicine was really bitter, but when I thought that I could be cured by taking the medicine, I also I could only grit my teeth and eat it. Later I discovered that there are many treatments that are more painful than taking medicine, such as chemotherapy and surgery. I persisted day by day, but failed to become healthy. It doesn’t matter if I am in pain, I will also make you suffer. , what on earth am I living for?!"
"I'm sorry... I'm just too tired to think about what my world would be like without you." Xiao Xiao knew that it was his murderous intention that made her sister lose the motivation to live, and she couldn't help but regret it even more.
"The reason why I persist until now and never shed a single tear no matter how painful the treatment is is because I am afraid that you and your parents will be heartbroken by my departure. I am afraid that if I die, all that will be left for you is sadness. I want to be cured of my illness, because as long as I am cured, I can repay you for everything you have done for me. My parents no longer have to work so hard to make money, and you can have more time for yourself. But today I But I realized that my idea was wrong. Maybe it would be better for everyone if I left..." Xiao Ai's expression and tone became more and more depressed, and she was completely different from the optimistic and cheerful girl she usually was. This was probably because She has lost hope of survival.
"Listen to me, I admit that I feel very tired, and I have thought about letting you disappear, but when your death is really in front of me, I regret it. No matter how tired I have been in the past years, I have How painful it is, I shouldn’t give up on you now. It’s foolish of me to rely on your disappearance for happiness. Without you, our family is no longer complete. No matter how good life becomes, it always will. It seems like something is missing." Xiao Xiao grabbed her sister's shoulders and asked her to stop and listen to what she had finished.
"I know you deserve a better life, but I am a stumbling block on the road to a better life for you and your parents." My sister still insisted on her own ideas and allowed herself to feel lost.
"They never thought you were a stumbling block. On the contrary, mom felt that I had taken away your luck, so your health was always in such bad shape." Xiao Xiao expressed her inner knot, although it pained her to recall her mother's words. But she didn't want to hide it from the barrier anymore.
"How could it be possible?!" Sister Xiao Ai showed a puzzled expression.
"Remember that painting you and I painted together on the ceiling?"
"Twin flowers? Of course I remember." My sister nodded.
Xiao Ai recalled the reason for painting that painting. At that time, she had just undergone surgery. After the anesthesia wore off, she found that the bed of the little girl who lived in the same ward as her was suddenly empty.
Because the girl named Xiaoyun was similar to her in age and suffered from the same disease, they naturally became friends. She asked the nurse where Xiaoyun had gone, but the nurse only told her that Xiaoyun had gone somewhere far away.
But she heard the conversation of Xiaoyun's family who came to help Xiaoyun pack her things. That was the first time she understood what death was. The dead would be sent to be cremated and then disappear from this world forever. She began to worry that one day she would disappear like Xiaoyun, and her parents and sister would be as painful as Xiaoyun's family.
So after she was discharged from the hospital, she took her sister to draw the twin flowers. In fact, what she wanted to express at the beginning was that if she died one day, she hoped that her sister and her family could live happily. Because she and her sister were connected, they would occasionally have the same dream, which was something similar to telepathy. She was thinking that even if she went to another world, the bond between her and her sister would not be the same. will disappear.
Xiao Xiao didn't know that when she had the dream about what her life would be like without her sister, her sister had the same dream. Thinking that they could live so well without her as a drag, her strong desire to survive also Kai is shaking. So when Xiao Xiao wanted to kill her, although she couldn't accept it for a while, she had no hatred for this sister.
"I want to leave now..." Xiao Ai stretched out her hand to hold her sister Xiao Xiao's face and said. She wanted to take a closer look at her, who looked almost the same as her, and the health and happiness that she did not have. If it can be realized in her body, then it will be no different from what I have experienced.
"Please forgive me, sister, it was my fault! Please live!" Xiao Xiao raised his head, his normally expressionless face now full of regret and sadness.
"My parents can no longer afford the hospitalization fees. Anyway, I don't have a few years to be popular, so I might as well..."
"Allow me to be selfish again! Can you live for me? If you leave now, I will feel that I am the murderer who killed you, and then I will live in pain and self-blame forever."
"I promise you."
Xiao Xiao found that even though she only had her soul left, she could still cry. She hugged her sister. This was the first time that she cried loudly in front of her sister. The guilt towards her sister and all the resentment accumulated over the years were released with her tears. When the crying stopped, she felt that her heart suddenly seemed to clear up from the clouds. So clear and warm.
Although Xia Qiu also wanted to take time to see the situation of the two sisters, she was unable to do so at the moment. She managed to escape from the corner and leaped behind the parasitic creature, trying to capture its sword-holding hand.
But the parasitic spirit suddenly disappeared in front of her. Just as she was about to look around for traces of the monster, the hissing sound of the poisonous snake on the monster's sword could be heard in her ears. Because she was worried about not hurting Xiao Xiao's body, she couldn't draw the knife decisively, so she had to dodge to one side, thinking that she had lost another opportunity. She found that in addition to the advantage of Xiao Xiao's body as a shield, the monster seemed to gain faster speed when using her body than when it used Li Yang previously.
The previous battle with Ran Mingzhu was completely incomparable with this battle with the monster. In fact, after returning from the soul-departed world, she had not completely recovered to her previous state, and she could not hurt the opponent's body now. , and it feels a little inadequate to defend again.
The monster soon discovered that her speed and strength were gradually declining, and decided to use a unique trick to quickly eliminate her. It did not use its own unique skills before because it was afraid that if it could not kill the opponent, its true identity would be exposed. In that case, the plan of it and the master hiding behind the scenes would be ruined.
Xia Qiu thought that he was hallucinating. After the monster slowed down its attack, it seemed that countless huge blue snakes were born from its body, and each giant snake was spitting messages in the direction of Xia Qiu. She suddenly remembered where she had seen people with similar abilities to this monster. When Ghost Slave No. 4 led them through the street blocked by the barrier, she accidentally entered the state of soul separation and saw the person who had once seen him. The battle between Ran Tianyou and Mrs. Lan took place on that road. During the battle, Mrs. Lan also used the same trick.
She asked the parasitic spirit: "Are you Mrs. Lan?"
The monster was stunned for a moment. It didn't know how the girl guessed the name Mrs. Lan, but it still pretended to be calm and asked, "Humph, what do you think?"
"I have witnessed the battle between her and Ran Tianyou, so..."
Xia Qiu's words startled the parasitic spirit again. It couldn't figure out how Xia Qiu could have seen the battle between Madam Lan and Ran Tianyou, but one idea was certain.
He said: "Then I can't leave you alive."
"All this turned out to be Qingyun's conspiracy again. What did he want to do after spending so much effort?!" Xia Qiu seemed to realize who the master behind this monster was.
"What do you think it could be?" the parasite asked her.
Xia Qiu knew that the parasitic spirit would not tell the truth about its purpose, so she stopped questioning it. She understood that no matter whether the monster in front of her was Mrs. Lan or not, it would use the poisonous trick. hand.
"Those who rebel against me should enter the lair of my thousands of snakes and taste my thousand-year poison." After the monster recited this sentence silently, the big snake behind it began to attack Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu tried to block it with the plum blade, swung it left and right and collided with the giant snake to create sparks. The giant snakes born from the monster's body were as hard as metal, and it was difficult to damage them directly with the blade. On the contrary, Xia Qiu's hand holding the knife still felt Waves of pain.
The attack of the serpents became more and more fierce. Although Xia Qiu was already exhausted, she knew that she must not retreat at this moment, because if she weakened even a little bit, she might surrender and face the risk of losing her life.
