Chapter 72 - The Murder Game

Translator: Yuzu

Xiao Chen did not say anything and squatted next to the boy, whimpering.

He felt something that he could not explain. He thought he should run away in fear because it was in the middle of nowhere, and there was no telling what would come out at night to harm him. However, his heart ached at the sight of the boy’s gray eyes.

It was like...

The pain was not in the boy’s body but his own.

The gray-eyed boy tilted his head and could see Xiao Chen’s jawline clearly. The child’s face did not have much flesh and looked very much malnourished.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the sky.

This night is really terribly dark. Not to mention the smallest stars, even the moon is not visible. There is nothing to be seen in the blackness.

The air is also very stuffy, making it a little hard to breathe.

And every part of his own body appeared like it was crushed by a car. His bones were broken, and it hurts, it hurts.........

He could not move.

Is he going to die?

Then, his body must be delicious.

Maybe before he completely loses consciousness, he will see a wolf take one of his legs and then hide somewhere to enjoy his dinner. He may see a vulture pierce his large intestine, make him bleed, bite his flesh and bring it back to share with its children.

Perhaps there will be a cunning fox who wants to drag his corpse, trying to make him a long-lasting reserve food. Or maybe even ants will line up to haul away his remains when there is little left of him.

What a terrible way to die.

However, it is certainly possible.

Even the birds and beasts are a bit reluctant to feed on his body, feeling his bad luck and thinking that the stench of his corpse is unpleasant. He thought that he was like everyone believed, that he was a disaster. Eventually, he was left in the wilderness, where he was exposed to the sun and wind and turned into a dried corpse.

The boy’s thoughts seem to have drifted into outer space, thinking about something messy in his head.

Sure enough, not long after, he saw a pair of eyes that were still glowing in the night.

Those eyes were terribly bright and a little creepy.

It was a wolf.

A wolf that was attracted by the smell of blood.

The child who was sitting next to him just now seemed to be terrified. His eyes that had been in tears immediately cried even more.

He watched as the child jerked to his feet, then the two looked at each other, and the latter ran away as fast as he could.

The boy looked at his departing back and couldn’t help but think.

Well, that’s right, who would stay with him?

The wolf is so dangerous. If he doesn’t leave, won’t he be eaten by it?

With this in mind, the boy closed his eyes with hopelessness.

Thinking about his life, was he happy?

Not really.

He hated it!

Why should he be called a disaster in his life, where so many people even want him to die? He is simply resentful!

Without any obstruction, the wolf’s glowing eyes became brighter as it jumped and rushed straight to the boy’s body and licked at his blood.

It was ready to enjoy its feast.

“Go away! Go away! Don’t touch him!!!” A soft, tender voice suddenly sounded.

The boy who had already accepted his fate opened his eyes when he heard the voice and looked at the source of the sound immediately.

The child’s awkward body was still a bit unstable. The torch he got from somewhere was held in his hand as he rushed forward with vigor. He pointed the tip of the torch at the wolf’s position and forced the hungry wolf back one step at a time.

It may be out of the animal’s nature to be afraid of fire that the wolf jumped off the boy’s body. With eyes that glowed in the night, he stared deadly at the child and made some distance.

But it didn’t give up. Instead, it chose to hover in place for a while and kept circling, as if it was waiting for the child to leave so it could rush up and proceed to enjoy its meal.

For it, this is a gourmet meal, so how could it give up so easily?

The child was trembling with his tears running down his face. The hand holding the torch was shaking, and it seemed as though he would run away in the next second because of fear.

The boy stared at his face, looking at him slightly lost in thought, without speaking.

Time passed by, and the child still stood in front of him with a resolute face, like a knight holding the torch in his hand as though it was a sword, his weapon to protect his beloved one.

Even if he is afraid, he is still fearless.

The flaming light of the torch shone into the child’s eyes.

The gray-eyed boy looked at these eyes that glowed brilliantly in the night and slightly had his mouth open wider with an indescribable sensation.

It was as if...

He seemed to see.........

A sky full of stars.

He was seeing salvation for the rest of his life.

He was seeing his whole world.

–

Yang Ru and Li Gou Dan’s nerves were close to breaking down.

These corridors were like a maze. There were no windows, and in the darkness, they couldn’t see any difference. It was like they were circling in the same place, and they couldn’t see the way out.

They couldn’t get out.

Li Gou Dan hit the wall with his hand in despair.

As Li Gou Dan smashed his hand against the wall, it was as though he had found something, and his eyes widened. He traced the bumpy spots on the surface of the wall and said in surprise, “Are there words on this?”

Yang Ru was immediately attracted when she heard it and strode over.

She moved closer and began to identify the script carefully. She looked at the pattern on the wall, and after a pause, hesitantly said, “It’s English.”

When Li Gou Dan heard it, he was excited, “Then, you should translate it quickly.”

However, Yang Ru frowned, “The words on this seems to be somehow wrong.........”

Before Yang Ru could finish, Li Gou Dan waved his hand impatiently.

Su Jingxia stood indifferently at the side, but his eyes suddenly flickered. He looked a bit changed, and he said in a deep voice, “I’ll do it.”

Yang Ru glanced at him suspiciously a few times.

It was not that she was against him, but because she could speak English herself. English was like a native language to her, and she was very fluent. However, the English words on the wall were still wrong even when she read them in her usual way of speaking English. They could not be English at all, but she stepped back out of respect and gave way to Su Jingxia.

Su Jingxia did not speak and had both hands in his pockets. His eyes were firmly fixed on the characters on the wall.

The time passed, and for a while, the three fell into an eerie silence as no one spoke.

Li Gou Dan stood on the side with an urgent expression and said anxiously, “Do you understand it or not? If you do, translate it quickly, and if you don’t understand it, just say so.”

Su Jingxia was not angered by his arrogant tone. On the contrary, he bowed his head and hooked his lips. His eyes were hidden under a shadow, which made it difficult to see his expression. It was incredibly mysterious in the dim environment.

So that’s how it is.

Su Jingxia remembered Xu Caitong’s last words before he died, and it all became evident in his mind.

Li Gou Dan stepped forward, wanting to continue to say something.

However, before he could make a sound, he felt a sharp stabbing pain in his abdomen. He immediately stared at Su Jingxia with a disbelieving expression, as if he didn’t understand why he would suddenly do that.

In an instant, an unpleasant smell of blood spread in the air.

Su Jingxia was still holding Xu Caitong’s dagger in his hand, but at this moment, the blade had already been completely submerged in Li Gou Dan’s abdomen.

Su Jingxia’s indifferent face still did not have the slightest fluctuation of emotion, but a closer look would reveal a sense of bloodthirsty horror. He pulled the dagger from Li Gou Dan’s abdomen, and blood spurted out along, splashing directly onto Su Jingxia’s clothes.

Su Jingxia gently scraped his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and the corners of his mouth rose.

He already had several human lives on his hands, and even the bloodstains on his clothes were from a few people.

Heh, after all, he was already a lunatic.

There was no need to reason with a madman.

Li Gou Dan supported his abdomen with one hand, and his other hand was holding the wall. Before his slightly open mouth could close, he completely lost his support and fell to the side.

And perhaps before he closes his eyes completely, he will not even know what the truth of his death is.

Yang Ru was utterly stunned by the scene in front of her.

Instantly, she felt terrible.

She took a step back without hesitation, and without saying anything, she ran like crazy.

If she didn’t run, that maniac would definitely kill her!!!

Su Jingxia cocked his head and didn’t chase after her at first. Instead, he laughed out loud from where he was as if he was laughing at her discomfort.

The hand that was holding the dagger paused. He looked down and wiped the blade on his clothes. He looked like a psychopath as his eyes widened and were almost bulging out.

Since the mouse is disobedient, of course, it is necessary to kill it!

Then, in that case, let’s play hide and seek.

Yang Ru’s breathing became increasingly rapid, and her heartbeat pounded incessantly as she ran with all her strength.

She doesn’t want to die!

Why would she want to die?

It was at this moment that her brain lit up; it was like an afterthought reaction.

Wait, the English on the wall just now seems to be in the Caesar Cipher!!!

By shifting all the letters back three places in the alphabet, new English words can be introduced.

If that was the case, then the translation...

Yang Ru’s heart beat faster.

It translates to.........

Kill everyone so you can leave this place.

Heh, do you want to get out of here alive?

Burst out your killing nature and kill with madness.

This is my eternal curse upon you.

Heh.

–

The sleeping Xiao Chen snapped his eyes open and grabbed his chest with his fingers tightly. He was covered in cold sweat, and there was a throbbing pain in his chest that was almost suffocating him.

He remembered, he remembered!

He actually came to this place!!!

Xiao Chen sat up, and his eyes were slowly horrified.

Suddenly, a chest tightly embraced his entire shoulder from his back, and Xiao Chen trembled slightly at the moment he was touched.

It was Yu Mo.

Xiao Chen turned around with a pale face and met Yu Mo’s gray eyes. Yu Mo’s eyes were still so gentle, and his gaze was full of deep love and affection that could not be hidden.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and stared at these gray eyes.

He finally remembered.

He witnessed the man with gray eyes in front of him throw all the people in the village into this bizarre corridor.

Letting those people be devoured by pythons, pecked by crows, tormented by darkness and hunger, and finally, people eating people.

He even set up a game rule of having only one survivor so that the group would kill each other inside.
