He Always Wanted to Kill Me After Saving the Sick Girl - Chapter 80

As Yunyin’s finger fell, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

The overwhelming dense fog instantly covered everything that Bai Zhi could see. The humid air surrounded her, and before she could react, the surrounding scenery had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The desolate villages and rugged mountain roads have disappeared, replaced by dark, damp black stone walls.

This…Where is this? Dungeon?

Bai Zhi looked around suspiciously, looking for Jiyue’s figure, suddenly his eyes were attracted by a huge iron cage in front of him.

A dirty boy was sitting in an iron cage with his back to Bai Zhi. His clothes were tattered and his spine exposed to the air bulged out and looked pitifully thin.

He was the only one in this dungeon. Even so, his limbs are still heavy chains, as if the imprisoned person was not a thin boy, but a fierce beast.

That is……

There was an eager voice in my heart who kept yelling, Bai Zhi raised his leg and walked over uncontrollably.

Her steps are not light, even a little hasty. The boy did not respond until she stood still in front of the cage.

“…Jiyue?” Bai Zhi murmured.

The boy sitting in the cage heard her voice and turned his face slightly.

Dark eyes, clear face. Even if it looks a lot immature, this is undoubtedly the quarter month.

Does Yunyin mean “return to your own world”? He set up this trap to stimulate the quarter moon and make the runaway quarter moon lose his reason and fall into his own illusion?

The boy’s face was covered with mud mixed with blood, but it still did not damage his beauty. He glanced at Bai Zhi quietly, then withdrew his gaze.

He didn’t seem to know her at all.

“Do you know my name?”

The boy’s immature and clear voice sounded in the silent dungeon.

“…Of course I know.” Bai Zhi stared at him distressedly through the iron cage.

He really doesn’t recognize her anymore.

Even if he knew that everything here was just an illusion, and no matter what he did was in vain, Bai Zhi still wanted to open the cage and rescue Jiyue.

Did he have lived in this kind of place since he was born?

“It must be the old thing Yunyin told you?” The boy sneered, his eyes full of ridicule, “It is surprising to hear this name from someone else’s mouth…”

What’s the meaning? Bai Zhi didn’t have time to think about it, and immediately reminded the boy urgently.

“Jiyue, wake up, these are all illusions, they are fake! This is a trap set by Yunyin, you wake up quickly, you can’t fall into it!”

However, the boy didn’t respond, he just looked at her suspiciously.

“Yunyin’s trap? What trap?”

Bai Zhi suddenly felt desperate.

Jiang Jixue said that as long as the owner of the illusion realizes that everything in front of him is an illusion, the illusion will disappear. Now she couldn’t wake up Jiyue’s consciousness. Was it because he was too immersed, or did he believe from the bottom of his heart that no one would save him?

Before Bai Zhi continued to try, the door of the dungeon was suddenly opened.

A burly man came in with a thick whip in his hand.

The whip looked hard, and there were many fine and dense iron thorns on it.

Bai Zhi suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Hey, little beast, you have recovered from the last injury…huh?” The man’s gaze suddenly fell on Bai Zhi’s body.

“Where’s the little girl?”

Bai Zhi gritted his teeth, lifted his leg and swept towards the man’s waist and abdomen. Then the man flicked the long whip, the whip was like a flexible snake, instantly wrapped around the white child’s calf——

“…Hiss!” The sharp thorn plunged into the white child’s flesh, and she sucked in a cold breath, and her body suddenly fell down.

The boy looked on in the cage with cold eyes, and his indifferent expression was exactly the same as that of the teenager Ji Yue.

“Although I don’t know where you came from…” The man grinned, opened the iron cage, and threw Bai Zhi in. “But there are not many more, you can go to death with the little beast!”

The man stood by the cage and raised his whip high up—

Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Xiao Jiyue’s body, Bai Zhi didn’t hesitate, and immediately rushed in front of him.

The whip instantly fell on Bai Zhi’s back. The man frantically waved the whip in his hand and slammed it on Bai Zhi’s body with a crackling sound, which was ear-piercing like a firecracker. Bai Zhi endured the pain and protected the boy, watching him open his eyes slightly in surprise.

“It’s quite resistant to smoking.” After an unknown period of time, the man finally got tired. He threw away the whip and said viciously at the two people in the cage, “I’ll go to rest first, and I’ll clean up you at night.”

The man closed the cage and left, leaving only Bai Zhi and Xiao Jiyue in the dungeon.

Bai Zhi sighed deeply, then let go of the boy in his arms.

Her back was already **** and bloody. Although she was about to faint from the pain several times in the middle, as soon as she saw that Ji Yue’s body was still well, she gritted her teeth again.

This little injury is nothing, compared with the injuries Ji Yue has suffered, it is nothing at all.

When Bai Zhi thought of this, his eyes became sore that he almost shed tears.

“Are you going to cry?” Xiao Jiyue asked suddenly.

“No…” Bai Zhi shook his head, choked and said, “I just… I just didn’t expect it to hurt so much…”

“It hurts to be whipped so many times.” Xiao Jiyue looked at her like an idiot, “Just stay aside, why don’t you block the whip for me?”

Bai Zhi sniffed and said naturally, “Because you are Jiyue.”

Xiao Jiyue was a little dazed: “What?”

“Because you are Jiyue, who I like…so I want to protect you.”

Bai Zhi looked at the other’s dirty face, couldn’t help but lifted his hand and gently wiped his cheek, “It’s that simple.”

Ji Yue was startled suddenly.

This is the first time he has heard such words since he was born. This strange woman who appeared suddenly, called his name tenderly, embraced him tenderly, and said tenderly that she wanted to protect him.

… Is she a monster?

The boy was stunned, and suddenly said, “Did Yunyin tell you to say that?”

Otherwise he couldn’t think of any reason for someone to say these things to him and do these things.

“How could I listen to him?” Bai Zhi frowned in disgust, then stared at Jiyue fixedly.

“I want to do this myself.”

She suddenly held Xiao Jiyue’s hand, the temperature of her palm made the boy tremble, and the chain on her wrist made a fine noise.

“Jiyue, let’s escape together!”

Whether it is this dungeon, or this nightmare illusion.

She wants to escape with Ji Yue.

Xiao Jiyue was slightly startled, and immediately sneered: “What do you think this is where you can come and go as you like?”

Isn’t this the line of the villain? No, you are a victim here!

“Isn’t this Yunyin’s Vuri Tower?” Bai Zhi asked.

Xiao Jiyue raised her eyebrows: “To be precise, it’s a dungeon in Vorita.”

Buried deep underground, dark and damp, never see light.

“It’s okay, we can steal the key.”

Bai Zhi made up his mind, enduring the pain, pretending to say lightly.

Since Ji Yue can’t wake up temporarily, he can only find a way to escape from the dungeon first. Maybe after escaping, Jiyue suddenly discovered something was wrong, and then realized that he was in an illusion?

“Stealing the key?” Xiao Jiyue repeated.

“Yeah!” Bai Zhi nodded, “Didn’t the person just say that? He will come again at night. Then I will be responsible for attracting his attention, and you will be responsible for attacking him and stealing his keys by the way!”

Xiao Jiyue’s eyes moved slightly: “You mean…you are going to be beaten for me?”

Bai Zhi was choked, then sneered: “I won’t be beaten all the time, I will fight back too!”

Ji Yue pursed her lips: “…I will help you.”

Bai Zhi was so moved that he almost cried. Although Jiyue was more withdrawn when she was a child, she still treated her very well.

No matter what kind of quarter month, it is her favorite quarter month.

The two made up a plan and patiently waited for the man to arrive.

At night, the man came.

“I didn’t die… It seems that the little beast still likes you?” The man opened his eyes in surprise, and then slammed his whip. “Then let’s slap you this time!”

The whip was swung down sharply, Bai Zhi’s eyes condensed, and he was about to dodge, when a thin white hand suddenly grabbed the whip.

Bai Zhi immediately looked over, and saw the thin boy standing beside her, holding the whip full of iron thorns tightly with one hand. The blood flowed down the palm of his hand, but his expression remained unchanged, just staring at the man in front of him coldly.

The chains draped on his limbs have been pulled to the extreme, and even bloodstained his wrists. Even so, the boy still did his best to move forward, trying to block Bai Zhi behind him.

“Why? Want to resist? You’re really healed, and the scar is forgotten to hurt——” The man slapped his whip with a sullen expression, and kicked Ji Yue’s heart with his foot.

Bai Zhi seized the opportunity and quickly slipped away from the man’s side with his agility.

“Little bastard, I actually want to run…” The man noticed that she ran out of the cage and immediately turned to catch it. However, Bai Zhi didn’t give him a chance to turn around, and pushed the man into the iron cage with a sharp push.

The man staggered and fell to Ji Yue’s feet in embarrassment.

Now that they are very close, the man suddenly remembered those who were killed by Jiyue and Rakshasa.

The boy looked down at him and let out a chuckle: “Want to resist?”

In the dim light, his face was beautiful and terrifying, like a deceptive evil spirit.

The man lost his breath before he could beg for mercy.

Blood slowly seeped into the cracks of the dirty floor tiles, staining the floor tiles deep red. Bai Zhi opened the cage cautiously, and used the man’s key to unlock the chains that were affixed to Jiyue’s limbs.

Xiao Jiyue slowly walked out of the cage, her dark eyes blank.

“Let’s go, let’s go out together.” Bai Zhi took his hand and smiled at him.

Two scarred little guys walked out supporting each other.

They walked in the dark corridor for a long time, but they couldn’t reach the end.

“How could this happen? Did we go the wrong way…?” Bai Zhi stopped in doubt.

Xiao Jiyue whispered: “Maybe there is no exit here.”

“Impossible, how did the person with the whip get in?” Bai Zhi immediately retorted, “There must be an exit, as long as we look for it seriously…”

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw a faint light wafting from the corner in front of her.

“Look at it, there is light ahead! There must be an exit, let’s go over there!”

“There won’t be.” Ji Yue still said so.

Bai Zhi immediately regained his spirit and ran towards the direction of the light coming from Jiyue.

Victory seemed close at hand, and the light was only one step away.

Just when Bai Zhi was full of hope, her eyes suddenly went black–

Then he lost consciousness.

＊＊＊

Opening his eyes again, Bai Zhi found that he was actually leaning against the cage.

She quickly looked around and saw Xiao Jiyue sitting aside, her eyes filled with mocking smiles, as if she was saying “Look, it really is like this”.

“What’s the matter? Why are we back again?” Bai Zhi looked horrified.

Xiao Jiyue held her chin and whispered softly: “I said, there is no exit here.”

“Impossible, something must be wrong…” Bai Zhi stood up anxiously, and just as he was about to open the cage with the key he had obtained before, someone walked in again.

This time the executioner was changed. He looked no different from the previous one, except for the weapons in their hands-he was holding a meteor hammer.

The corpse killed by Ji Yue was gone, only a spot of blood remained.

The man walked over in silence without saying anything, even without asking who Bai Zhi was, he raised his hand and smashed the meteor hammer over—

“Damn, what’s the matter with these people?”

Bai Zhi dodged, shouting puzzledly.

Ji Yue did not answer her. This time they tacitly resolved the executioner, and then ran out quickly.

However…the same as the last time. Corridor, light, corner… everything is exactly the same.

Bai Zhi lost consciousness again.

After waking up, Bai Zhi suddenly realized that this may be an endless cycle. But she didn’t believe in evil, so she continued to try and repeat.

Fail, fail, fail.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

I don’t know how many times it was repeated, Bai Zhi finally felt a little tired. She sat in the cage, panting slightly, Xiao Jiyue next to her still held her chin to look at her.

“Give up,” he said softly, “you can’t escape.”

“We can never leave here.”

——He said “we”.

Bai Zhi suddenly stagnated slightly, something gradually became clear in her mind.

She only wanted to leave this illusion, but forgot that the owner of this illusion was Ji Yue.

Maybe… Maybe she got it wrong from the beginning?

Maybe it’s not that they can’t escape, but Jiyue doesn’t want them to escape.

He was deeply trapped in this desperate illusion, unable to wake up.

He returned to his childhood and firmly believed that he could not escape this dungeon or leave this terrible place.

But he was afraid of being alone, so he kept Bai Zhi.

He wanted to trap Bai Zhi here, and wanted Bai Zhi to accompany him forever in this endless nightmare.

“I see……”

After thinking about all this, Bai Zhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

At some point, the blood in the dungeon had already spread to Bai Zhi’s calf. At a glance, they seemed to be in a cold blood pool.

Is this the nightmare of Jiyue? Is this the Vorita in his memory?

Bai Zhi stared at the boy in front of him, suddenly stretched out his hands and pulled him into his arms.

Her breath was too soft, and the hug was so warm that Ji Yue didn’t push her away immediately, but hesitated to ask.

“……what are you going to do?”

“be with you.”

“…What?” Ji Yue’s eyes widened slightly.

In the darkness, Bai Zhi slowly hugged him, whispering softly in his ear.

“If this is the result of your choice, then I will be with you. Whether it is reality or dream, heaven or hell… I will be with you.”

Ji Yue didn’t want to wake up, so she accompanies him to sink and destroy together. When Ji Yue regained his obsession, she accompanied him to go and realize together.

As long as Ji Yue is by her side, she feels extremely happy.

The girl gently hugged the boy, and the curvature of her lips rose slightly. Seeing her contented look, Ji Yue’s heart gradually surged with a strong desire.

——Want to live.

——Want to be with her.

Not in this desperate and painful place, but in a bright and warm place.

He felt as if something was breaking out of the ground in his heart, and at the same time, he heard a crisp sound from the dungeon like cracked glass.

Behind Bai Zhi, a strange gap suddenly appeared.

Then, a faint light shone through the gap.

Ji Yue blinked in surprise: “A Zhi…”

Before he finished speaking, the light suddenly illuminated the entire dungeon——

In the next instant, he and Bai Zhi were swallowed by this bright radiance.
