Chapter 1650: Kill Me…

At this moment, Chen Ling’s mind went blank.

He had just said that casually…

But…

“You… you can hear what’s being said outside, right? You are awake.” Chen Ling said with a furrowed brow.

If that was the case… didn’t that mean he could clearly feel every time the Lord of Cangyun cut his skin, every drop of blood he swallowed, and every word spoken here…

He actually… knew everything??

Did the Lord of Cangyun know about this?

No…

He shouldn’t know.

Given the Lord of Cangyun’s personality, if he knew that Chu Changqing’s consciousness was awake, he would never have left him in this lonely hospital room. If he knew that the brother whose blood he drank every day could clearly feel this pain, he would probably collapse on the spot!

Chu Changqing controlled it well. Even if he could perceive everything around him, he would never show it in front of the Lord of Cangyun. Even if he was in pain, he would wait until the Lord of Cangyun left before silently digesting it and shedding tears.

But facing Chen Ling… he didn’t need to do that.

Chu Changqing shedding tears was a signal in itself.

He was awake.

He knew what was happening outside.

He was in pain…

If that was the case, he must be able to perceive that the Lord of Cangyun hadn’t come to drink his blood for the past two days… He would naturally guess that the Lord of Cangyun had no intention of living at all.

Chen Ling’s brain worked at high speed. He immediately mobilized a thought storm, attempting to enter Chu Changqing’s conscious world…

But the vast majority of Chu Changqing’s thoughts, like his body, had become rigid and lost their vitality. Even the thought storm couldn’t enter, and he could only barely hear some sounds from his mind.

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.” Chen Ling frowned. He leaned his ear close to Chu Changqing. Although he knew that doing so wouldn’t add anything to the sound produced by thoughts, he did it subconsciously.

“Like this, just repeat in your heart what you want to say most right now… I will hear it.”

After saying this, Chen Ling closed his eyes, listening with full concentration to the voice in Chu Changqing’s heart.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Slowly, that vague and distant sound gradually became clear!

Chen Ling heard it clearly.

Chu Changqing’s heart was beating in a repressed manner, and every cell in his body was telling of despair and pain… At the same time, a voice lingered in Chen Ling’s mind:

【Kill me.】

【Reverse the era, restart the world.】

Chen Ling was stunned.

He stared blankly at the withered figure with tear-stained cheeks, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The Chu Changqing of this world hated Chen Ling to the core and had no good feelings for the Twilight Society… But now, he had taken the initiative to say those words.

No one knew what he had witnessed during this time or what kind of pain he had endured in his heart, but there was no doubt that he had completely despaired of this era.

“I understand.”

Chen Ling took a deep breath and slowly drew the bone-carving knife from the sleeve of his theatrical robes.

“You of this world, although not led by me personally, were gathered together because of the previous generation’s Actor Nameless… Along the way, I believe you have already done your best.”

“Everything began because of Actor Nameless, and it should end with Actor Nameless…”

“Let’s… fight side by side in the next world.”

As the words fell,

Chen Ling’s bone-carving knife plunged deep into Chu Changqing’s heart!

……

Splash—

Blood mixed with rain splattered onto the turbid street.

Figures stepped through puddles, flashing across the curtain of rain, bright blades stabbing into blood-stained shirts… and then, blood flowed down once again.

“I killed you… I’m going to kill you!!”

“……”

“If it weren’t for you, how could we have ended up in this state?!”

“……”

“Why don’t you fight back… fight back!!”

“……”

Noisy sounds echoed in the rain. Figures were roaring frantically, holding kitchen knives, iron rods, or other weapons in their hands, continuously leaving wounds on that blood-stained shirt…

Soon, the Lord of Cangyun was a bloody mess.

But the Lord of Cangyun still didn’t move. He stood there quietly like a statue, letting his tie be cut by kitchen knives, letting his shirt be chopped into pieces, pain spreading throughout his body… Yet he just pressed one hand against the hideous blood vessels wriggling on his chest, remaining silent.

Suddenly, heart-wrenching pain shot out again. The hideous blood vessels on his chest wriggled frantically once more. He spat out a mouthful of blood, stumbling and nearly falling to the ground.

“He’s dying!!”

“We’re about to kill the Lord of Cangyun!!”

“Good riddance! Let him be buried with my younger brother and sister!!”

“……”

More and more figures joined this bloody slow-slicing. Seeing the Lord of Cangyun vomit blood, they seemed even more excited. Each of them stared with bloodshot eyes, using all their remaining strength to hack their weapons at the Lord of Cangyun’s back.

The Lord of Cangyun’s consciousness began to blur. One fatal wound after another was hacked into his vital points, and the continuous loss of blood brought him close to fainting… But he knew he couldn’t pass out yet.

His five fingers were locked tightly into his chest, his nails embedded directly into his flesh. He was using all his strength to suppress the Turbid Disaster within his heart.

But he knew… he couldn’t hold on for much longer.

These citizens couldn’t kill him instantly. If he just fainted, the Turbid Disaster would take the opportunity to devour his body and break out of its shell… To kill the Turbid Disaster, he had to kill them both with a single blow!

Countless cold glints and malice fell upon the Lord of Cangyun’s back. He tried to stand up straight, but he had no strength left, and could only hunch over, stumbling step by step, moving slowly forward…

“He’s trying to run!”

“Don’t let him get away!!”

“He…”

Before the citizens could finish their words, a terrifying pressure instantly tore through the void, submerging everyone in it!

Endless red paper scattered in the rain, knocking everyone to the ground. At the same time, the power that had been shielding the Dragon-Twisting Warriors seemed to disappear. The crowd, who had been dizzy just a moment ago, immediately found the location of the Lord of Cangyun’s aura and rushed toward here like madmen!

However, the next second, they all froze in place.

The red clouds slowly dissipated in the rain,

cinnabar-like earrings swayed silently, and a figure in theatrical robes had appeared in front of the Lord of Cangyun at some point… The hilt of the bone-carving knife, still stained with blood, was already deeply embedded in the Lord of Cangyun’s chest.

“Sorry… I’m late.” A voice sounded in front of him.

Gurgling blood continued to pour from the Lord of Cangyun’s mouth. He looked down at his pierced chest, then looked up stiffly, looking forward…

The moment he saw Chen Ling’s face clearly, a smile of relief and release slowly spread from the corners of his mouth.
