Chapter 70 Let me go find him.
Jiang Lin sneered at Chen Jiangqiao, then turned and pulled Ji Xingyi away. Chen Jiangqiao's heart sank as he watched Ji Xingyi's retreating figure.
Wang Liang, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed something and patted Chen Jiangqiao on the shoulder: "Brother, let it go!"
Chen Jiangqiao's already aggrieved mood worsened: "What do you know!"
Zhao Ruoxi peeked out from behind Wang Liang, her baby face beaming mischievously, "I know~"
"Shut up!" Chen Jiangqiao quickly covered the girl's mouth, looking quite exasperated.
Wang Liang shook his head, rubbing the tabby cat in his arms. The burly Northeasterner rarely showed a serious expression: "After observing for the past few days, my advice is not to make an enemy of Jiang Lin. If you really want to deal with him, you have to strike at his vital point."
Chen Jiangqiao was speechless: "I didn't say I was going to deal with him."
"But you want him!" Zhao Ruoxi struggled to break free from Chen Jiangqiao's clutches.
Chen Jiangqiao wished he could take off his smelly socks and stuff them into the girl's mouth: "What are you yelling about, you damn NPC!"
Zhao Ruoxi smiled, revealing a set of small white teeth, and swayed her hips to show Chen Jiangqiao the back of her right hand, where several dark marks had appeared on her fair skin: "Did you know that there is such a thing as concealer in this world?"
Chen Jiangqiao's eyes widened in disbelief: "You fucking playboy?"
"Thank you so much, Brother Jiangqiao, for protecting Xixi~" Zhao Ruoxi quickly shrank behind Wang Liang before Chen Jiangqiao could hit her.
Zhao Ruoxi's character is set as the female lead in the drama, which is a perfect opportunity for her to disguise herself as an NPC.
The reason is quite simple.
In the death-death dungeon, all players have their own agendas, and backstabbing is commonplace.
However, players rarely betray NPCs. Instead, they often try to gain favor with NPCs to obtain information. Zhao Ruoxi took advantage of this to clear the Witch dungeon without any damage.
"You stinky salted fish!" Chen Jiangqiao was so angry that his face turned from green to purple, then back to green again. He had been wondering why there wasn't a single clue about Zhao Ruoxi!
Zhao Ruoxi pouted: "I did protect Xu Enxi, you know. I'm still somewhat useful!"
Chen Jiangqiao: "Shut up! You damn clamp!"
Wang Liang nodded silently, where Zhao Ruoxi wasn't looking.
The group returned to the castle hall and stopped abruptly. Butler Bernard, accompanied by the resurrected dead, was blocking the entrance.
"You are not allowed to leave!" The old man finally revealed his ferocious and bloodthirsty face.
"So it was you who was raising a witch. What is your wish?" Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes, looking the old man up and down. When he saw the old man's gaze drift towards the maid Emma in the corner, Jiang Lin suddenly realized: "Is she your daughter, or your lover?"
Once Green Shali is gone, all illusions will disappear. Bernard wants Emma to exist for a long time, so he has to keep luring humans into the castle to maintain Green Shali's magic.
“That’s not important.” Bernat’s deep-set eyes were filled with murderous intent. “What’s important is that you will all die here!”
"These few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, I can kill them once and I can kill them a second time!" Chen Jiangqiao said with a disdainful look.
Wang Liang stretched his shoulders and agreed, "I'll play along to the end!"
Just as tensions were running high, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if the very foundation of the castle was trembling.
The chandelier overhead swayed wildly from side to side, and exquisite decorations fell to the ground with a series of loud noises. Even the huge portrait of Princess Theresa directly opposite the hall tilted and fell down!
"What's going on!" Zhao Ruoxi screamed from the crowd.
A look of horror appeared on Bernard's face, and the corpses behind him began to turn transparent, indicating that the witch's power was fading!
"Run!" Ji Xingyi grabbed Jiang Lin and rushed towards the gate, with Liang Yuan carrying Mo Xizheng on his back, following closely behind. The corpses that had blocked the gate were now like blurry projections; the group passed right through them and rushed towards the bright world outside the castle.
Bernard knelt before the portrait of Theresa and roared in despair, "No—"
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
As the warm sunlight shone down, everyone felt a long-lost warmth. But when they turned back, the magnificent castle had already collapsed.
As the rubble crumbled, white smoke rose into the air, and within minutes, the entire castle, along with the legend of the witch, sank underground.
Bernard didn't come out, perhaps still fantasizing about another miracle, or perhaps unwilling to face the harsh reality and wanting to end it all.
In the final moments, Jiang Lin seemed to hear the blonde girl's sigh.
Chen Jiangqiao, bent over and panting heavily, asked, "How did it suddenly collapse? Is the witch dead? We didn't kill her!"
"It seems she doesn't like to deceive herself," Jiang Lin murmured after gazing at the ruins for a long time.
Chen Jiangqiao: "Stop speaking Martian language, I can't understand a single word!"
Jiang Lin's eyes were so deep that Ji Xingyi couldn't understand the emotions hidden within them. An unease crept into his heart. For some reason, Ji Xingyi had a feeling that Jiang Lin might also disappear, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the young man's hand.
"Liang Yuan!"
A cry of pain came from behind Mo Xizheng. Jiang Lin turned around and saw that Liang Yuan's body was gradually becoming transparent because he no longer had magic power to support him.
"Liang Yuan, don't leave me!" Mo Xizheng trembled violently. He didn't dare to look at him. The only thing he could do was hold the man in his arms tightly and pray to heaven.
"Please don't leave me..."
Liang Yuan raised his now-ethereal hand and gently stroked his lover's back: "Xiao west, I don't want to be a stumbling block for you. I know your dreams, I know your burdens."
“I don’t want you to be bound, I don’t want you to be viewed by worldly standards.”
I want you to be free.
"I don't want to hear it!" Mo Xizheng was in so much pain she couldn't breathe. She hugged the man tightly in her arms, wishing she could merge him into her own flesh and blood: "Liang Yuan, don't leave me... please!"
"I want you to be free, I will always love you..."
As the most sincere confession fell, the person in her arms completely vanished, and Mo Xizheng collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Bubbles will eventually burst, and dreams will eventually fade away.
Jiang Lin's pupils contracted sharply as he saw a bloodstain suddenly appear on Mo Xizheng's chest. A bad premonition surged into his heart, and Jiang Lin immediately knelt down and reached out to press Mo Xizheng's chest.
Within seconds, her fair hands were completely stained with blood.
The seven-colored gemstone knife was truly plunged into Moxi Zheng's heart. Although the witch's power healed his injuries in the inner world, the witch was no longer there, and the wheel of time could only continue to move forward along its original trajectory.
“Jiang Lin, I’m sorry…” Blood spilled from Mo Xizheng’s mouth: “I might not be able to attend… the next event.”
Jiang Lin's eyes widened: "Don't speak."
The dying youth had no idea that his life was confined to this small instance. In his world, he had only lived one-third of his life, and he didn't want to go on the road ahead.
Mo Xizheng raised her hand and struggled to grasp Jiang Lin's arm, tears streaming down her face, but a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Liang Yuan is so mean, he always abandons me, but this time, I... I don't want to be abandoned..."
"Jiang Lin...please let me go...to find him..."
Jiang Lin remained silent. Under Mo Xizheng's longing gaze, he slowly released his hand and quietly watched as life slowly drained from the young man's body.
A gentle breeze caressed his face, and in a daze, Jiang Lin seemed to see the old prince and the beautiful blonde girl standing on the opposite bank of the river of time.
I don't want to deceive myself like humans do, because I want to know if he loves me.
Why do humans deceive themselves? Because I love him too.
