Book 7: Chapter 44: The Memory That the Spider Lilies Carried
Heh He let out a light chuckle, unperturbed. If I could I would want to
I was stunned. I was once entangled in complicated emotions. I couldnt help but feel confusion, hate, and heartache
I once promised Harry He lifted his chin and said weakly, to protect your kindness to make you happy In the end heh I didnt do any of that On the contrary, you are riddled with a thousand gaping wounds
Stop I turned around. I didnt want to listen to him anymore.
Falling in love with you was the biggest mistake in my life He painfully choked back sobs. If I hadnt fall in love with you I wouldnt have pestered you nor would I have hurt you Hurting you is my biggest source of pain
I took a deep breath. Whats the point of bringing up the past? Nothing will change. We cant go back in time.
I am the one who damaged you It is me who made you lose your innocent smile His voice revealed a yearning smile. I remember the smile you wore when you carried Snowball That is a smile that I will never forget for the rest of my life
Stop! I finally couldnt hold back and roared. I took deep breaths to calm my emotions that had nearly lost control. My hand was still pressing down on his back. I hung my head, expressionless, Back then, I had never even killed a chicken. Did you really think that I could adapt to this world? Without you, living in such a world, it was only a matter of time until I learned how. You merely catalyzed the entire process
No You wouldnt If I hadnt been in the picture His voice became frail. Without me you would be better better His body shivered.
Xing Chuan? I extended my hand and held his arm.
I shouldnt His body fell forward. have been born He muttered the end of his sentence like his last breath, before he collapsed entirely. I couldnt hold his hefty body, and he fell on the electrotherapy equipment in front of him. His long white hair scattered all over the floor like the once gorgeous spider lily, that withered in my hand and collapsed in the wind.
Xing Chuan I half squatted next to him and choked with heartache. We shouldnt have met in this lifetime He hated himself so much that he thought he shouldnt exist in the world.
He was once daring and energetic, arrogant and confident, as he oversaw everyone in Silver Moon City. He was once a leader whom all warriors in Silver Moon City worshipped. He was once the Prince whom all girls admired.
Then, he was broken and riddled with a thousand gaping wounds. His appearance, that had once been used to hide his fragile heart, was finally broken by reality. He had been broken beyond recognition.
He was completely broken, from inside out, from his body to his heart. There was no one who could fix him. Death became his only desire, but I took it away from him mercilessly and made him live in this world in agony.
Xing Chuan, wait until you see your clone in Silver Moon City I creased my eyebrows as my heart ached. I took a deep breath and let it out. ...and I will set you free then
He passed out and couldnt hear anything I said. Our complicated relationship might only be able to come to an end via such a method
I leaned forward to push down on the armrest. The electrotherapy equipment began to hover and retracted its legs. It extended a board, and the chair turned into a sickbed. It carried Xing Chuans body so he could lie on the hovering bed. Then, the four legs dropped down and the bed began to give off heat to keep Xing Chuan warm.
I was going to get a blanket to put it over him when I felt the back of my hand turn cold. I immediately looked and saw the symbiotic flower on the back of my hand had blossomed. The stamen had already climbed onto Xing Chuans back and begun to grow and spread. On the back of Xing Chuans fair back, my ice blue symbiotic flower grew across it. Blue spirit flowers bloomed across his back!
At the same time, a red stamen appeared from under his shirt on his waist. It was no longer the gorgeous looking spider lily, but rather seemed weak and fragile. It looked as though it would break.
Comparatively, my symbiotic flower was full of vigor. It was growing across Xing Chuans back rampantly. It instantly intertwined with the thin red stamen. In an instant, I could see an image!
It was a messy image. I closed my eyes to calm myself down. Then, I opened my eyes and realized that I was standing by the lake in Steel Ghost City. The redness of the lake had faded, but there were still rotting corpse chunks floating in the lake.
An old airplane suddenly flew past the surface of the lake and landed. I looked at the airplane as it glided for a while before crash-landing, slowly coming to a complete stop. It left deep dragging marks along the ground.
Someone kicked the hatch open. Then, I saw Xing Chuan crawl out from inside. There were some cuts on his forehead and he was bleeding. He had a few tufts of white hair already.
He staggered towards the lake and fell at my feet. One of his hands landed in the lake. He quickly got up and ran another few steps forward. The nauseating rotten corpses surrounded him.
He was a person who liked being clean, but he had plunged into the filthy lake. Why?
He staggered through the lake and suddenly shouted, Harry! Harry!
I was stunned. He had come here to look for Harry. His hair had turned white. It seemed that his superpower was passing, but he had come to look for Harry. Did he want Harry to heal him?
Hmph. I smirked coldly. Harry already left to look for me. You turned him into a water ghost. How dare you look for him to heal you?!
Harry Harry Xing Chuan shouted for him continuously. His voice became hoarse, just like how it sounded now.
Harry! he bellowed. Even though he lost his voice... Harry He held his head in agony. Harry Harry We are running out of time. Do you know that? We are running out of time! Do you know that?! He suddenly slapped the water, and the rotting corpse chunks scattered further from the impact. He looked at the corpse chunks, and then dived into the water to look for Harry!
Suddenly, the lake rippled and he floated to the surface. But something dragged him down again. A pair of finned legs paddled past the surface of the lake. It was a water ghost!
Then there was a terrifying sight of fresh blood churning out.
