The city is under the starry sky, and the van is on the viaduct. Under the viaduct are the city's buildings and streets. Gray buildings, crying people, enchanting flames, and workers maintaining public order.
"The road ahead is blocked. Let's take a smaller road into the city." Yu Rongshi looked at the road in the distance that was blocked by a series of traffic accidents and said, "Where are we going?"
It was only then that the four members of the Rainbow Group in the back seat poked their heads out again: "Yeah, where are we going?"
Yi Wan was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's not go to the Children's Palace, let's go to the Blue Light Building."
"Um."
Yu Rongshi did not question it at all. He turned the car around and drove in the opposite direction through the green belt in the middle, merging into another road at high speed. Everyone in the car was shocked by his skilled but overly exciting driving skills, grabbing the car wall and shouting. Bo Jiang said, "Why go to the Blue Light Building? Instead of the Children's Palace?"
Yi Wan said: "The Blue Light Building has the best network and can connect to the news broadcasting technology. Moreover, it is on the hillside and is forty-nine stories high. People on the top floor can overlook the entire city. Hui Gong must want to overlook his masterpiece from there."
The further into the city you go, the harder the road becomes.
There were protesters outside the financial company, the statue of the "protagonist" of the writer in the park was toppled, and several corpses were lying on the street, their cloudy eyes still looking at the sky... Some people ran out of the room on the other side, with perfect faces, shouting "What the strategy said is right! Yan Xi, I finally become you!" There was also a torn corpse hanging on a flagpole, being pulled up. An Yelin recognized the man's face from a distance.
He spat out a name. It was the name of the winner of the Best Newcomer Award at the film festival the year before last.
There was another corpse nearby, belonging to a certain literature award winner. Her gold earrings were snatched away, her earlobes were torn to pieces... The first corpse swayed alone in the dark night, like a tattered flag. Compared with the "brave" new rule tryers, there are more "anti-protagonists" around the world who "take revenge for grievances and revenge for hatreds".
"Down with the protagonist!" Someone shouted the slogan and walked by. Whether they were the hardworking people or the lazy people, whether they had paid or were just jealous. At least now, they all thought they were righteous, defenders of morality, and avengers who rose up after suffering persecution. In addition, they also thought they were the people.
"Do they really think that it was the 'protagonist' who took away everything from them?" Bo Jiang said softly in the car.
The van passed by the marchers. The van carried four criminals called "protagonists" on their way to the battlefield to eliminate the source of all evil. Large and small groups of people shouted slogans and rushed to the execution ground to execute the protagonists.
In the distance, the Blue Light Building stood on the hillside like a black tower or an obelisk. The van sped along the long road. The road was like a knife, splitting the towering buildings in two directions, like Moses splitting the sea and rushing to the other side.
Finally, the van drove into the winding mountain road.
The mountain road was littered with wrecked vehicles. The vehicles had crashed into the mountain wall while going up or down the mountain. They were on fire, but no one was seen inside, as if the drivers had disappeared... Such scenes made everyone panic.
"Logically, there should be a lot of people who want to go up the mountain to look for the blue light. No matter what the reason is." Bo Jiang looked at the "bustling" accident scene and said, "But along the way, there is actually no one?"
The feeling of uneasiness grew stronger.
The van finally drove into the parking lot. Yu Rongshi's phone rang at this moment. He nodded apologetically to a few people and wanted to hang up the phone... until he saw the caller was Yu Qichen's father.
He answered the phone, but the signal was bad: "The city... is in chaos... We plan to take Yu Qichen to a safe place first... Where are you?"
Yu Rongshi looked up at the Blue Light Building: "I'm doing something very important. No need to wait for me."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, a sigh was heard: "Qi Chen had just woken up and we had just met. You were about to leave..."
"I'm so sorry."
Yu Rongshi didn't know what to say... to his family. But Yu Qichen's father said, "Forget it. I knew it a long time ago. You will have a different fate than the rest of us. It's time for you to be willful for once."
"Thanks."
Throughout my life, this is the only sentence I can say.
"Yu Qichen said he had something to tell you... He didn't dare to say too much, so he gestured and I roughly knew what he meant. He also said to tell this to the person next to you named Yi Wan." Yu Qichen's father said, "His mother doesn't allow him to communicate with you anymore. So, I'll say it."
"Don't look at me."
"Don't... look at each other?"
Yu Rongshi repeated this sentence to Yi Wan. Everyone was puzzled, and Yi Wan looked at him blankly, as if thinking about something.
The Blue Light Building was dark, without any lights. After hanging up the phone, several people jumped out of the car. Lan Hua swallowed his saliva and said, "Is Xie Ziyu in here?"
The dark building always gives people an ominous feeling... Ding Biehan finished stretching on the ground and was about to sneak in through the small door. Yi Wan stopped him and said, "Wait."
Ding Biehan:
Yi Wan: “We are a group.”
Chi Jixia said: "Yes! We are a group!"
Lan Hua: …
When the boss formed this boy band like you, he probably didn't think that you would be used for this.
Several people discussed based on each person's characteristics, and finally decided on the following battle pattern: Bo Jiang had fought in battles, and was responsible for command, memorizing maps, and decryption; Ding Biehan had infinite flow skills, and was responsible for close-range output; Chi Jixia had a system, and was responsible for reconnaissance; Yi Wan was a passerby, and was responsible for stealth assassination; An Yelin had been chased by countless CEOs, and was the fastest runner, and was responsible for attracting monsters. Yu Rongshi would not be affected by the negative damage effects of the Gray Palace, and had the most important roles: secondary output, responsible for dispelling negative effects, taking damage, and assisting Yi Wan.
Yi Wan stood aside, warming his hands with the bag of hot milk that Yu Rongshi gave him, and nodded silently.
An Yelin twitched his eyebrows, and although he was speechless, he said, "...Okay." "No." Bo Jiang's logic was very clear, "Don't forget our goal - to find Xie Ziyu. Compared with Yi Wan, we are all secondary."
He said to Yu Rongshi: "So, please protect Yi Wan and send him upstairs safely."
Yu Rongshi said: "You don't have to tell me, I can do it too."
Lan Hua was anxious: "What about me?"
Chi Jixia: "You? You are responsible for being the charm mushroom. You are the prince of Blue Light, the monsters inside will definitely recognize you. And you are crazy, you don't have the insanity skill, right?"
Lan Hua: "Damn, you said they were all weird. What if they don't recognize me?"
Chi Jixia said: "Then you will be the tank, responsible for taking damage..."
An Yelin: "Okay, it's already this time, why are you still talking nonsense here? Hurry up and open your invincible system."
Chi Jixia muttered a few words, and opened the system with a heavy expression. After a while, he said, "There are indeed a lot of people in the Blue Light Building... There are more than ten on the first floor, and there are also on the second floor... On the third floor... The total number may be close to a thousand."
Lan Hua's face turned pale. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said hesitantly, "It's normal for a big firm like ours to have so many employees."
"The elevator from the first to the seventh floor is out of service. There is no one above the seventh floor, but all the doors from the seventh to the eighth floor are locked except one... So, we have to reach the seventh floor and then go through that door." said Chi Jixia.
Bo Jiang used a branch to draw on the ground, constructing a battle map: "What kind of people are those?"
Chi Jixia paused for a moment.
"The living dead." Chi Jixia said, "After the Gray Palace extracted all their vitality to support his 'global live performance', they were left behind like puppets. They will wander around this building endlessly... and crave to absorb vitality from the living."
Ding Biehan said: "I understand it very well, just like zombies, I have fought against them."
Everyone glanced at him subtly.
Lan Hua asked anxiously, "What about the floors above the eighth floor?"
Chi Jixia said, "Forty-nineth floor, top floor, there are signs of life. Two."
Lan Hua stopped talking. He clenched his fists and made up his mind.
Bo Jiang only took fifteen minutes to construct their battle route: enter the building from the side door of Exit E with the help of Lan Hua's permission key. Go around several office areas with many zombies, go up to the second and third floors... The only most troublesome floor is the seventh floor. There is a blue light training square on the seventh floor. Various selection activities are often held in the square. The system scan shows that at least more than a hundred zombies are wandering in the square.
To enter the eighth floor, the square is the only way... Bo Jiang was still gritting his teeth and thinking, but Chi Jixia said: "Just go up, and talk about it after you go up. Just like you have calculated it a dozen times and still can't figure it out... If we want to go up, we have to pass through here. There is no escape."
Bo Jiang asked him, "If we just go up there without a plan, will the situation change?"
Chi Jixia shrugged and said, "Who knows? I've always been lucky. And the four of us are all male protagonists. We don't have the confidence that 'it's fate', right?"
Bo Jiang still disagreed. But An Yelin interrupted him and said, "We still have the invincible Ding Biehan, right?"
Ding Biehan nodded coolly.
"A group of hopeless optimists." Bo Jiang still frowned, but could do nothing about it.
The plan was approved. Everyone went around to Exit E of the Blue Light Building. An Yelin stood in front of Exit E and sighed softly, "abcde, Exit E... Things are always so wonderful."
He paused before stepping into the Blue Light Building and said to Yi Wan: "Yi Wan, I was actually very angry with you before."
Yi Wan: “…”
"You saved me and cut off the threads in my body, didn't you? But you treated me like a flower in a greenhouse and didn't say a word to me. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't perform well enough to make you feel that I was not worthy of your trust." An Yelin looked back at him, with teardrops glittering under his eyes. "Later, I knew all this... I finally understood. Yi Wan. You must be very tired and powerful along the way, right?"
"… "
"Don't be afraid, don't stop. We are here with you this time." An Yelin said, "If you were the one who saved our souls by wandering around our studio before, now it's our turn to build your own studio for you."
For a moment, Yi Wan stared at him in a daze. Chi Jixia passed by the two of them and whistled, "Isn't that corny? You said you're going to get married after you return home. Wait until you get out of the building before you set up a flag like that."
Yi Wan said: "Chi Jixia, thank you, the invincible Wu Tong."
Chi Jixia said, "Tsk... why are you thanking me? He is the one who made me so sensitive. This is his compensation to us. Today, you are behind us, so go with peace of mind."
And Bo Jiang... He pressed Yi Wan's shoulder and said nothing. Ding Biehan said to Yi Wan: "I will never forget your help to me this time."
... Did you go to the wrong set
Seven people lined up in a seven-sword formation. Lan Hua stretched out his hand tremblingly in front and secretly used his fingerprint to open the small door.
No beep.
The door opened.
It was terribly cold inside the Blue Light Building. The cold light from the rooftop fell from the U-shaped atrium in the middle of the building and hit the ground on the first floor. Without the modification of the "Heavenly Dao" power, they saw all kinds of black blood on the ground, which were all twisted human figures that fell from the building.
At the front desk, in the office, in the lobby... As expected, there were living dead people wandering around. The feeling of being different from humans yet similar to humans was enough to make everyone panic. No one dared to look at them, and just followed the path planned by Bo Jiang.
First floor.
Second floor.
Third floor.
On the third floor, Lan Hua accidentally slipped, and his sneakers made a sound on the ground. All the zombies in the conference room turned their heads to look over. Fortunately, Yu Rongshi pushed him down in time, and everyone escaped with cold sweat.
"sorry… "
In the stairwell, Lan Hua whispered.
"Don't talk at this time." Yu Rongshi said in the same low voice.
"Fortunately, everything has been going smoothly so far. No one noticed us entering the building." said Chi Jixia.
Only Yi Wan walked among the crowd with a frown on his face.
The fourth floor. The fifth floor. The sixth floor. The next three floors were still dangerous, but fortunately, even Lan Hua did not make any mistakes. They arrived at the seventh floor smoothly.
When I opened the hiding room, the first thing I saw was the trainee square.
To reach the eighth floor, there is only one entrance through the seventh floor. This is the only way.
More than a hundred zombies were roaming around the square. Bo Jiang took a quick look and then closed the door. He leaned against the door and said to the others, "Okay, now we're on the seventh floor. What are you going to do? It seems like there's no way we can get around this."
Everyone looked at Chi Jixia. In response, Chi Jixia just shrugged and said, "I've already said that there must be a way out when you get to the mountain. The system just scanned it and found that there is a small path over there. Bo Jiang, go over there."
As he said that, he opened the door behind Bo Jiang and walked out. Yi Wan looked at his figure walking forward and suddenly realized that An Yelin also patted his shoulder and followed Chi Jixia forward.
"you… "
"I've said it before, it's time to let these trainees see what a real top star is." Chi Jixia said, "Hey, as the male lead, you don't have the confidence that you're destined to be the best, right? This is a wonderful performance that will last for three hours. Don't worry about us, we have the aura of the protagonist."
"Fuck." Yi Wan heard Bo Jiang say.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Chi Jixia had already walked to the other side of the trainee square, away from the room where Yi Wan and the others were. "Good evening!"
More than a hundred zombies looked at him.
Chi Jixia grinned: "Your emperor is here!"
"Fuck, I knew you... I said I guessed it." An Yelin, who also ran to the other corner, cursed, "Let me see who runs faster between you and Mr. Fu!"
Then, he yelled at Yi Wan: "Yi Wan, run!"
The living dead roared and rushed towards them. These two people not only had the vitality of the living, but also the sweet smell of "protagonist's luck". Chi Jixia relied on the physical fitness of her idol to run left and right, and continued to talk nonsense: "Yo yo, I thought I was in Haitang City? More than a hundred men are chasing me? What good is this?"
"Fuck, you..." Bo Jiang cursed, "Do you have a strategy to lure the enemy? Idiot! Listen to my command!"
After that, he said to Yi Wan: "Yi Wan, go quickly."
"Now the zombies downstairs will be attracted by them." Ding Biehan said with a stiff face, "Although this is the only strategy, people who have never participated in infinite flow games have only this quality... People like Chi Jixia probably won't survive the first game. Forget it."
He joined them irritably.
Yi Wan didn't have time to say anything, because Yu Rongshi had already grabbed his arm and decisively ran towards the only exit. Lan Hua hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and followed frantically.
Until two zombies rushed to the only exit. They were attracted by Yi Wan and others and blocked their way. At this moment...
Lan Hua flew over and knocked them down.
"Go up quickly, go see Xie Ziyu, and save my brother!" He screamed heartbreakingly, "I am not as useful as you, so I believe in you! Please, save Lan Bo..."
The noise and fighting were blocked behind the fire door. Yu Rongshi closed the fire door and pulled Yi Wan up. The last thing Yi Wan saw was Ding Biehan jumping down from the ceiling and kicking away a zombie that was about to bite Lan Hua's carotid artery.
They ran up the stairs. They ran two steps at a time, but the stairs seemed endless. Finally, when they reached the eighth floor, Yi Wan saw that the door to the eighth floor was wide open.
The wide-open door faces an elevator that is also wide open. Inside the elevator, the word "" is spray-painted in red.
"I knew he prepared this for you," Yu Rongshi said.
He pulled Yi Wan into the elevator. The elevator automatically went up to the 49th floor. Yu Rongshi said in the rising elevator: "The distribution of these zombies is too deliberate. It's like he designed it this way on purpose just to get rid of the other people."
The number on the elevator showed "41". Yu Rongshi continued to speak, his eyes becoming colder and colder: "But I stayed."
The elevator door opened.
What greeted them was a whole floor-to-ceiling glass window. A young man stood in front of the window, his back to the two of them, gazing at the colorful world outside the window.
The surrounding walls were covered with LCD screens, broadcasting live the tragic and chaotic scenes all over the world.
"Because Shen Zhong decided to bring you up." he said.
Lying on the sofa beside him was Lan Bo, whose face was pale and most of his vitality had been drained away, and he fell into a coma.
On the other side beside him.
…A small knife, lying there quietly.
"Long time no see, Shen Zhong." The young man turned around and spread his hands to Yi Wan. "During the days when you were away, I played a beautiful prank on this world - a big plan that lasted for more than ten years. I pierced through the hypocritical mask of this world, cut off all the threads that control us, and made the gods who control this world lose face as never before. I let this broken but still beautiful world break free from their control - finally, everyone has the freedom they can have - including you, Shen Zhong. Not being controlled by the threads, hasn't this always been your wish?"
"Now the wish has come true! Everyone is free!" He waved his right hand and made a salute gesture, "You are free. Why, don't you want to applaud me?"
Yi Wan walked out of the elevator. He stood outside the elevator and looked at him coldly.
"... Stop saying these high-sounding words. We all know exactly what you want to do." Yi Wan said, "From the beginning to the end, you never wanted others to be free. You just wanted to embarrass Heaven—as a response to Him for daring to control your life and turning your perfect life into a rebirth joke where you are restricted in every way. You are taking revenge on Heaven, turning the plot they like into a joke, and turning the world they created into hopeless garbage—just like you took revenge on those people who laughed at you in the Internet cafe. You successfully played the 'slap in the face' routine again, and you are more proficient than before. If there is anything that can be said about this matter, it is that your plan did succeed."
"Hmm. That's a very good point. Revenge? I like that." The young man lowered his head and sneered. "This fucking world has no reason to exist! Everyone lives in a high-sounding manner. Talking about 'hard work' and 'love', just like the fucking way of heaven. Everyone talks about 'righteousness', but their hearts are full of 'business'. You see, this chaos is so good, I like chaos. I like this... a world where everyone is abandoned and everyone is in despair."
He laughed loudly, and the muscles on his face were twitching. Yu Rongshi had never seen a person smile so exaggeratedly. But Yi Wan looked at the devil-like smile, but his face remained expressionless: "Is that all you want to say?"
"Yes. Shen Zhong, give me a hug. I have done the most amazing thing in the world!" The young man raised his head and said proudly, "I destroyed the entire world! I finally defeated the way of heaven! Isn't this worth celebrating?"
"What about those who died?" Yi Wan said.
Young man: "Then die. They will die sooner or later. They should have known that they are puppets. What's the point of letting a bunch of puppets live?"
"What about this world that has collapsed from now on?" Yi Wan said.
Young man: "This world has never been a good place. Do you think that without the Way of Heaven, this world can be a good place? War, hunger, plague, persecution of dissidents, Auschwitz concentration camp, genocide, Indian genocide, Rwanda, the ten tortures, sister drums, not caring about others, only caring about one's own bestial interests, this is something engraved deep in people's DNA... This world has never been a good place! Human nature is evil, as long as there is a chance, everyone is a monster, a beast. Do you think that this world is just beginning to collapse now? It has been rotten for a long time. Without the 'protagonist', without 'luck', without these excuses, people will find new outlets when there is an economic crisis, use them to vent their grievances and start wars. You didn't come here to tell me about the love of human nature? I tell you, people are born beasts."
Yi Wan was silent. The young man said, "Come on, I really like the way things are now. I am free, crazy, and the whole world is burning. And I told the Heaven that this world is a piece of crap! I snatched this world from His hands. I am like an innovator, a real Moses who split the sea, a prophet Prometheus who stole fire from God..."
The young man fell into a kind of extremely enthusiastic emotion, and began to hum songs and dance. He said: "I am a genius, of course I am a genius. I am a prophet, the destroyer and savior of this world... I defeated the gods... I destroyed the creations that the gods valued, I destroyed what they wanted so much! I destroyed their efforts!"
Yu Rongshi wanted to say something. But Yi Wan patted his hands and whispered to him, "Don't come over. No matter what happens, don't come over."
He walked towards the young man step by step until he stood beside him. They had the same childhood and were as close as brothers from the same mother, but now, one was less than 20 years old and the other was already old. The young man put his arm around his shoulders and asked him, "Shen Zhong, are you here to congratulate me?"
"You are wrong." Yi Wan said.
The young man said, “Oh?”
"It's not that you won a game from the hands of heaven. It's that this world was abandoned, abandoned like garbage." Yi Wan said lightly, "Gu Ruchao, you were abandoned. It's not that you won this war, but that you lost it."
"… "
"They could have just left this place and left, but you were defeated and still immersed in the joy of self-righteousness. You are like an Ah Q now. You smashed what you really owned, but you are complacent and think you have defeated the gods..."
"You... cough... cough!"
The young man overturned the table, grabbed Yi Wan's neck and pressed him under him. Yi Wan's throat was almost broken by him and he coughed loudly. The young man gritted his teeth and shouted: "How dare you, how dare you..."
Yi Wan was pinched by the throat by him, and a smile finally appeared on her usually dull face.
A sarcastic, indifferent smile.
“Look at yourself… ahem… look at yourself now…” he said, “You are like… a clown… using your own losses… to make others laugh… How many names have you changed? Gu Ruchao, Huigong, Xie Ziyu… How many people point at your nose and say you are a monster, and how many people… know who you are… know what you really want… You think you are living for yourself, but in fact, you are just working for someone else’s body and name… Others will say that Xie Ziyu is a big star, others will say that tarot blogger Huigong saved/destroyed the world, others will say that Xie Ziyu is a legendary figure… and Gu Ruchao…”
“… Stop talking.”
"He was a coward who died at the age of fourteen, whose family failed and whose grades were also terrible..."
"I told you to stop talking!"
"Your own story and legend have long been destroyed by you... You repeated other people's lives, and used your own life to copy other people's stories... You have never lived as yourself. Now you have destroyed the world you own, and you are still complacent..."
“… Ugh!”
Yu Rongshi finally pushed the young man off Yi Wan.
He pushed the young man to the ground and held Yi Wan away from him. Yi Wan was still panting, his voice hoarse and intermittent: "I know, I know everything, so..."
Suddenly, he smiled the same smile as Xie Ziyu.
Those were smiles that mobilized all muscles. Their eyes reflected each other. Yi Wan saw the young man retreating step by step, with a look of complete despair - all of Yi Wan's words seemed to have torn off all the fig leaves of his soul. What was reflected in the young man's eyes was Yi Wan, who covered his neck, stood up, and walked towards him step by step.
The young man leaned against the floor-to-ceiling glass, his head lowered, his smile gone. He gasped for breath, as if the last string had broken. Finally, he said, "Killing is the most heartbreaking. Shen Zhong... You are really mine, my childhood sweetheart."
"I know better than anyone that you are a clown." Yi Wan said.
The young man stared at him intently, then suddenly laughed: "But what else can you do? You can only live in this world that I have destroyed, a world without a glimmer of hope. Hahahaha... There is no tomorrow, no future, no beginning, no end, such pain... Even if you still want to pursue freedom, what can you do? You can't do anything."
Such pain.
"Shen Zhong, this is more painful than killing you. No one else understands, only I understand - your selfishness is more silent and cold than the frozen soil of Antarctica. No one can change your cold nature, no one can... I know that such a world will drive you crazy, and this is the best thing..."
The young man suddenly pulled something out of his pocket - a silver gun. Yu Rongshi subconsciously stood in front of Yi Wan - but the young man used the gun to shoot at the French window.
One shot.
“Wow!!”
A strong wind blew in, and glass splashed outward. The young man turned his head for the last time, looked at Yi Wan and said: "Shen Zhong, I have good news to share with you. This broken world will not last forever - it will be destroyed soon, you know, its underlying logic has collapsed. Because God no longer needs it. It can only live for... more than ten or twenty years? Enjoy the last pain..."
He didn't finish the sentence because he slipped -
He stepped on something.
A bag of hot milk that has cooled down.
Yu Rongshi gave it to Yi Wan, who put it in his pocket.
The hot milk exploded under his step, and he stumbled—falling down the stairs in an extremely ridiculous posture, with an expression of disbelief on his face. Absurd, funny, like a clown, not an elegant or gorgeous exit in any calculation—just like those ugly chess pieces that he had calculated, used, and abandoned.
"He committed suicide out of despair, but even though he committed suicide, he chose a very dramatic and beautiful ending for himself - falling backwards from the building. However, he stepped on a bag of hot milk, so he fell down like a watermelon and exploded on the ground. This time, he had no chance of survival," said Yi Wan.
Yu Rongshi let go of his hand. Yi Wan walked towards the window step by step. The 49th floor was very high. He lowered his head and could see the embarrassing, clown-like bloodstain on the ground.
Very absurd.
"There is no dramatic death. This is the biggest insult to the Gray Palace." Yi Wan lay by the window, looking at the scenery below. The wind blew his half-long hair. He had a blank expression on his face. "His whole life, he has been pursuing to become a legend."
"Goodbye, Gu Ruchao." He said, "This time, you are finally dead."
Yu Rongshi approached him from behind and covered his eyes with her warm hands: "Don't look."
Yi Wan stood in front of him, his eyes buried in his palms. The screens were still broadcasting the tragic scenes around the world.
"… die."
“… Revenge.”
“… Parade.”
"Government workers who tried to maintain order were attacked..."
"Green River Community... explosion..."
"Unexplained earthquakes occur all over the world..."
There were also screams of boys and girls.
"Even if he dies, the world is over. It has been... abandoned." Yi Wan said.
His eyes were buried in Yu Rongshi's palm, and he kept crying. The salty and hot tears flowed out through Yu Rongshi's fingers. Yu Rongshi lowered his head and said, "Yeah."
Yi Wan said: "There will never be a day when order is restored, and when normal life returns to normal."
Yu Rongshi said, "Let's... go see the stars? Since we don't have much time left, let's go out and walk around. Just for ourselves."
Yi Wan closed his eyes. His eyelashes made Yu Rongshi's palms itch, like a small animal: "Green River Community... is the community where my uncle and aunt live."
Yu Rongshi was stunned. He said, "Let's go over and take a look now."
Yi Wan said: "No, you don't understand what I'm saying. It's all gone, everything is gone, even Gu Ruchao's miserable death was useless. There is only the starry sky in the sky, and the moon is gone..."
Yu Rongshi didn't know what Yi Wan was talking about. He only knew that Yi Wan had been crying in his palm, as if he was suffering more intensely than anyone else.
Those tears were hot, salty, and plentiful... In the end, they became a pool of ice-cold tears in his hand, like the cold moon.
Finally, Yi Wan stopped crying. He said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go. Let's go to Green River Community."
Yu Rongshi said, "Okay."
He let go of his hand and looked at Yi Wan standing there, rubbing his eyes, and rubbing his eyes again. Yu Rongshi stood up and pressed the elevator button. The elevator door opened, and he turned around and said to Yi Wan: "Yi Wan..."
A small knife.
A small knife, held in Yi Wan's hand, stabbed into his chest... Then, due to the user's hesitation, it deviated a little and finally stabbed into Yu Rongshi's shoulder.
The blade sunk in.
Blood flowed out.
—I have thought about this countless times.
—This is the last resort.
The stars in the sky seemed to be a little sparse. Yi Wan held the knife and looked at Yu Rongshi. Blood stained Yi Wan's cheeks red, like a bloody ghost.
Yu Rongshi covered his wound and looked at him blankly.
