Yu Mo looked down at the young man who had been put to sleep in his arms and laughed softly.
With the help of his hand, he hugged the child tightly and stood up.
His movements did not awaken the young man. His little head was lying on the spot where his heart was, and he subconsciously used the tip of his nose to gently touch his chest, bringing a tickling sensation.
But it was precisely this action of brushing against his heart that made Yu Mo’s expression suddenly change, and his eyes sank slightly.
If Xiao Chen was still awake, he might have opened his eyes innocently and asked, “Why can’t I hear your heartbeat?”
The man hugged Xiao Chen more cautiously.
Although Xiao Chen looks very slender, he is still a bit heavy because he is an adult with a height of 178 cm.
The man’s pace was steady from start to finish, and each step was taken with care so that the child could sleep very peacefully.
The man looked faintly ahead, and the scene around him was enveloped in a black mist that began to distort. The next second, the scene changed. The grand living room turned directly into a luxurious bedroom. Even the small lamp above the bed was hung with purple crystals.
Yu Mo gently put the child on the bed. His movements were very light and slow, full of tenderness and love.

With a wave of his hand, the man produced a bed quilt and took off Xiao Chen’s shoes in a fluid manner. He covered him with the quilt and adjusted the pillow so that he could sleep comfortably.
The man remained in a standing position at the head of the bed, staring longingly at Xiao Chen’s sleeping face, without making a sound.
There is no telling how long he stood, perhaps more than a quarter of an hour, and the man did not even blink.
The gray eyes are filled with ripples of love and affection that cannot be hidden.
Finally, the man’s legs moved. He turned around and disappeared from the room.
All the surrounding lights went dark at the same time in this instant.
It has returned to darkness and silence again.
The pitch-black corridor, the lack of daylight, and the unknown hours of walking, coupled with the various physical needs, wrecked Li Gou Dan’s nerves little by little.
Finally, he could not stand it any longer, and his face reddened with impatience because of the suffocation.
On the way, he was the one who supported the sick Xu Caitong. Yang Ru only occasionally came over to give a hand, while Su Jingxia was completely unconcerned in the back. In this way, how can he balance his mind?
Why should he be the only one who is exhausted?
“Fuck. “Li Gou Dan cursed and screamed, and suddenly let go of Xu Caitong. His nostrils flared with annoyance.
Xu Caitong lost support and fell directly to the ground.
Xu Caitong showed a painful expression as his two hands supported himself, and the fishy taste in his mouth was getting increasingly stronger.
“What are you doing! “Yang Ru’s eyes widened.
Xu Caitong was now their only hope to get out!
Li Gou Dan didn’t even pay attention to Yang Ru. Instead, he grabbed Xu Caitong’s collar and forced him to the corner, angrily questioning, “Are you playing with us! Do you know how to get out or not?”
Xu Caitong spewed a mouthful of blood because of Li Gou Dan’s movements. Li Gou Dan was unprepared, and his whole face was sprayed with Xu Caitong’s blood. The blood even spurted into his mouth because Li Gou Dan had his mouth open.
The smell of blood.
Li Gou Dan’s eyes widened, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to hit Xu Caitong with a slap. However, it may be that his brain suddenly woke up, and he held himself back stiffly.
Xu Caitong pulled out a sarcastic smile, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and regret.
How can he be willing! He had come this far with great difficulty!
All his previous work is lost! It was a waste of effort!
But his physical condition and even his brain were clearly telling him that he was going to die!
Xu Caitong’s bloodshot eyes met with Li Gou Dan’s angry gaze.
The next second, Xu Caitong laughed loudly and wildly. Even his laughter trembled with despair, powerlessness, and pain.
But this laugh was very unpleasant to hear, and it was more like crying than laughing.
Yes, Xu Caitong no longer has a tongue!
He can’t even speak! How could he be able to laugh well?
But Xu Caitong’s laughter did not last long and soon stopped. Li Gou Dan looked at him with a puzzled face, as if afraid he would play any tricks.
Xu Caitong’s eyes widened, and he smiled as he looked at Li Gou Dan with a playful face, moving his mouth but not making a sound.
Li Gou Dan frowned in confusion. He does not know how to read lips!
But Xu Caitong’s next move completely stunned the crowd. Xu Caitong violently pushed Li Gou Dan away with one force, as if using all his strength!
Before Li Gou Dan could make the next move, Xu Caitong trembled, reached into his shirt’s inner pocket, and took out something.
Yang Ru and Li Gou Dan were simultaneously on guard, not knowing what Xu Caitong was up to.
Xu Caitong’s gaze directly ignored the two. Instead, it focused on Su Jingxia, who stood aside the entire time without the slightest fluctuation in expression. The latter stood tall and looked at him directly, with a cold and ruthless look, just like the owner of these eyes.
Xu Caitong smiled mockingly.
He admits that he has lost.
With a tilt of his head, he swallowed what was in his hand.
It was poison.
Seeing this, Yang Ru thought that it was not good. She rushed up, cupped Xu Caitong’s chin, and said anxiously, “Not good! He wants to commit suicide!!!”
Yang Ru was determined and put her hand directly into Xu Caitong’s mouth, trying to induce him to vomit.
But it was still too late!
Xu Caitong’s eyes closed, his body immediately went limp and fell to the side without support.
Li Gou Dan trembled and went forward to put his hand on the tip of Xu Caitong’s nose to feel the other party’s breath.
There was no breathing.
Dead.
“Fuck,” Li Gou Dan was furious. He clenched his fingers into a fist and smashed it directly into the wall.
Yang Ru gritted her teeth.

Xu Caitong is dead. How can they get out?
Su Jingxia’s expression didn’t even waver after seeing Xu Caitong die.
When the remaining two people were in complete despair, Su Jingxia suddenly moved to Xu Caitong’s body and squatted down.
Yang Ru and Li Gou Dan looked at him with a confused look.
But the next moment, the two were surprised by Su Jingxia’s action.
Su Jingxia took out the dagger from Xu Caitong’s pocket and stabbed it towards Xu Caitong’s heart without hesitation. The body, which had not yet gone cold, instantly stained the ground red.
“What are you doing?” Li Gou Dan was stunned.
Su Jingxia stood up expressionlessly. His voice had no fluctuations as he coldly said, “Making sure he is really dead and not faking it.”
Yang Ru instantly felt a bad chill.
Even Li Gou Dan’s mouth opened wide as a wave of coldness hit him.
Su Jingxia lifted his gaze, and the corners of his eyes rose slightly. His expression was serious, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.
Su Jingxia could read lips and understood Xu Caitong’s last words before he died.
Xu Caitong said.
Only one of you is destined to get out alive.
Heh.
Yu Mo looked at the man in front of him, who looked exactly like himself, with a cold face.
Unwilling to show weakness, the two men stood facing each other, which would give the illusion of looking in the mirror.
In the dark, two figures were shrouded in black without any trace of light on their bodies, as if they should have been one with the darkness.
When a king sees a king, one of them must die.
The man took the lead in breaking the eerie silence. His voice was undisturbed, and his angular face carried no emotion. His lips moved, and he said coldly, “This day has come.”
Yu Mo did not speak. His eyes narrowed slightly as though he was preparing for an attack.
The man took a few steps forward, shortening the distance between them. He stared at Yu Mo’s gray eyes, stating the facts without emotion, “You want to kill me, right?”
Yu Mo still did not say anything.
The man just calmly looked at Yu Mo’s eyes, “I also want to kill you.”
It’s funny. They have the same memories, the same hatred for the world, and the same tragic past. They should be working together, but they are in love with the same person. Despite being one with each other, the sinful factor inside them is screaming with madness, jealousy, and hatred.
Baby should belong to me! No one can take him away from me!
Because they are the same, they are destined to be incompatible with each other.
However, Yu Mo was not angered by his words, and his expression was bland. The man was somewhat confused when he saw this.
This was the first time he felt he couldn’t read his other self.
What the man did not know was that Yu Mo possessed more than just the memories they shared. There were more truths about the world that he had not discovered.
After awakening, of course, Yu Mo could not fight with his other self.
Because he knows better than anyone that if one of them dies, then the other one can’t possibly live either.
This is the trap set for them in this world by the Heavenly Dao. As in every world before, it is trying to destroy himself and Xiao Chen by all means.
Yu Mo said, “You have not thought that between us, besides the death of one side and the other alive, there can still be other options”.
The man paused, and his gray eyes flashed along.
–
Xiao Chen felt his brain was heavy as he was dizzy from having a long dream.
He dreamt that he had gone back to the age of eight, to the village that he felt was a nightmare, and to a past that he was afraid to face.
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!” Some of the villagers were holding knives. Some carried the tools they usually used in their work, and others were raising torches. The expression on each of them was so hideous, just like a madman, bloodthirsty, cold and ruthless.
All of them had the same expression, with their eyes almost popping out. In the darkness, the spectacle was overwhelmingly shocking. All of them were shouting the same chant, as though they had been brainwashed, but their expressions couldn’t hide the excitement.
Xiao Chen hid in the grass, looking at the scene in front of him with a timid expression.
He secretly followed along. He didn’t know what these people were doing or what they wanted to do. He just felt that all these usually familiar faces had become so strange one after another.
Xiao Chen straightened his neck to see farther, so he could watch what terrible rituals were going on in the center of the crowd. Just listening to the ear-splitting shouts around him, he had a chill like falling into an ice cellar.
Xiao Chen could only be dazed to see someone dancing barefoot in the center of the crowd. His face was painted ghastly white with something unknown, and he was holding a bowl in his hand. He chanted some incomprehensible incantation, which was the same as the action Xiao Chen usually sees when the villagers sacrifice to the mountain gods.
It may be that the ceremony was too long that Xiao Chen did not know when he fell asleep while hiding in the grass. When he woke up again, the villagers had long since disappeared.
Xiao Chen carefully crawled out of the grass. His face and clothes were covered with dirt and mud, so he was in a mess.
It may be due to the playful nature of children. He saw from afar that the villagers just stood at the location of a large black mass. Because it was night, he did not see it very well, so he was not afraid and went straight over.
It was actually a person.
Xiao Chen stared wide-eyed, stunned by the scene in front of him.
Lying on the ground was a boy who appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. The boy’s upper body was covered in blood, his face was very pale, and his hands were spread out. He was lying on the ground in a wide-open position.
This was undoubtedly not what shocked Xiao Chen the most. It was the fact that the boy’s heart was gouged out of him, and a bloody hole was left in his chest while his heart was just thrown next to him. All in all, it was a very shocking and frightening image.
Suppose it was a twenty-year-old Xiao Chen who saw this scene. In that case, he might be able to figure out that the villagers were performing a ritual called Sky Burial, where the bodies are left in the middle of nowhere for the beasts and birds on the mountain to devour.
But unfortunately, this is the eight-year-old Xiao Chen, who knew nothing, only found the image terrifying.
What was even more frightening was that he discovered that the eyes of the boy lying on the ground were still turning. At the moment he appeared, the boy’s gray eyes fell on himself.
He was already like this, but he was still alive.
Xiao Chen was scared and crying as he said, “Are you okay? I’ll get someone to come and help you, don’t die.”
However, the boy stopped Xiao Chen in time. His expression did not change in the slightest, as if he did not feel the pain. He did not even frown, and his gray eyes did not waver. He softly said, “Are you an angel who came to take me away?”
How strange, so there are really angels in this world!
But how can a person like him go to heaven?
Oh, so he’s not dead yet.
His heart has been ripped out, but he is still alive.
