Shi Xiaobai, whose limbs had been severed and his tongue had been smashed, was crying tears of blood. He let out a whimper that was filled with anger, hatred and frustration. Before the calamity fiend left, it was unknown what "magic" it had cast on his body. A black beam of light enveloped him, causing his severed limbs to stop bleeding. Furthermore, despite being in so much pain that he nearly fainted, he could not go completely unconscious.
Shi Xiaobai could constantly hear Little Fatso's screams and the calamity fiend's cruel laughter. He could imagine the scene of the calamity fiend using all means to torture Little Fatso. It was different from the beheading from before. This time, the calamity fiend seemed like it was going to inflict human torture on Little Fatso. It appeared extremely patient. Shi Xiaobai knew that the calamity fiend was venting its anger that he had provoked.
"Sorry, Little Fatso. I failed to save you and ended up harming you." Shi Xiaobai was in extreme pain. Such mental torture was easier for a person to break down than physical torture.
Little Fatso's screams gradually became softer until they disappeared. It was a long process, as though it had spanned thousands of eons.
"It's your turn. Remember This Demon's name — Sahadun. It will accompany you for the rest of your most painful and short life." The calamity fiend's cold voice resounded. Immediately following that, the sound of demonic footsteps could be heard.
Shi Xiaobai slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the coming torture.
"Make your choice, youth!"
Suddenly, the fiery voice resounded in his mind once again. Shi Xiaobai opened his eyes abruptly and saw that the world in front of him was still the frozen scene of the calamity fiend peeking its head out of the black hole. Everything had returned to the moment when time came to a halt. He was still alive, Little Fatso was still alive, and everything was as perfect as before.
However, Shi Xiaobai was not stunned, nor was he pleasantly surprised. He did not have any emotions. His face was ashen, as though he was a walking corpse. Previously, he had used a precognitive dream as an excuse to deceive himself. Now, it was finally time for him to consider the truth.
Why did he return to the moment when the choice appeared twice? It was not a dream, nor was it an illusion. It was because he had failed. He had failed to "save Little Fatso", so time had been reset.
"What would happen if I chose another choice?" This was the first time Shi Xiaobai had such a thought. His gaze landed on another line of black text — [Escape]!
"If I immediately escape, I can definitely escape … That way, time might not rewind to this moment. I won't die. Although Little Fatso will die, he won't be tortured …"
"But … I really want to … save him!"
The light that had just lit up in Shi Xiaobai's eyes was immediately shrouded by a haze. His thoughts fell into complete darkness as a voice in his heart began to mock him.
"You can't save him. You're a weakling, a piece of trash. You can't protect anything."
"Do you understand? You're not the main character, nor are you a hero … You're just an ordinary student that can be seen everywhere on the street … But if I had to write a novel with you as the main character, it would definitely be a tragedy … "
"You can't even save yourself, how can you save others?"
"Unfair? All the unfairness in the world was due to the lack of ability of the parties involved. Little Fatty will die because he doesn't have the ability to live … but you can, you can live on! "
"Run, run, run! As long as you escape, you can live! "
This voice had a bewitching charm to it. Shi Xiaobai's eyes gradually turned red. If he chose to [Save Little Fatso] once again, it would only be a repeat of the tragedy. However, if he chose to [Escape], his pain would end and he would be freed.
Scenes of bloody, cruel, and cold scenes flashed in Shi Xiaobai's mind. It was as though it was tearfully recounting the pain and horror he had previously experienced, as though it was trying to persuade him to strengthen his will to escape.
Suddenly, the scene in his mind froze on a soccer ball. That soccer ball that had flown over under the afterglow of the setting sun had gently struck the calamity fiend. It was really light, but it also seemed as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.
His spirit and emotions returned to the youth's eyes that were as dark as the night but as bright as the eternal day. A firm and unyielding belief stood up from the bottom of his heart.
"I choose …"
.....
.....
This was truly a long dusk. Despite it being the final struggle before the night came, it refused to give up. It clenched onto the last glimmer of light, releasing the last remaining warmth.
But regardless, time had turned once again.
The calamity fiend's neck was about to pop out of the black hole. Little Fatso was still like a wall that could collapse at any moment, clinging onto his final persistence. A tragic scene was about to happen.
"Hahaha! Great Lord Sahadun, this lowly one … this lowly one has been kowtowing to the Demon World for tens of millions of years. This lowly one has finally waited for you. In order to witness this collapsing world prostrate at your feet, this lowly one has waited so bitterly! "
A fawning voice filled with ecstasy suddenly resounded. Shi Xiaobai suddenly knelt on the ground and raised his hands to kowtow three times. His forehead made a crisp sound when it hit the hard ground.
The calamity fiend had just crawled out halfway and was about to kill the child who had scolded it as "Big Baldy". When it heard Shi Xiaobai's words, it immediately turned its head and said in disbelief, "You … human, how do you know This Demon's name?"
Shi Xiaobai crawled up from the ground and cast a fervent gaze at it. "This lowly one has been waiting for your arrival! You are this lowly one's king, and also the ruler of the infinite worlds. How can this lowly one not know your name? "
"A greatness darker than dusk, an existence redder than blood, that is your body, that is your supreme will. Great Lord Sahadun, this lowly one swears in blood before darkness descends. In order to get rid of all the foolish things that are blocking your path, this lowly one is willing to sacrifice his body and burn his soul. As long as he becomes a tiny cornerstone in your great achievements, this lowly one will die without regrets. "
Sahadun's gaze relaxed as its vigilance and hostility slowly lowered. As a relatively weak existence amongst the calamity fiends, this was the first time it was being sought after in such a manner.
"Big Brother, what's wrong with you? Big Brother … "Little Fatso's puzzled and afraid voice resounded.
Sahadun was immediately jolted awake. This child who had called it "Big Baldy" deserved death! Sahadun immediately raised its right hand and was about to slit Little Fatso's neck.
"Wait! Great Lord Sahadun! Please listen to this lowly one! "Shi Xiaobai's anxious voice resounded.
"Oh?" Sahadun stopped its actions and looked at Shi Xiaobai with a scrutinizing gaze. Its vigilance and hostility rose once again.
"This person has insulted the great you. It is a sin that he will not forgive even if he dies a thousand deaths! He must not die so easily. He must suffer all kinds of torture before dying with hatred! Only by doing so can the hatred in this lowly one's heart be appeased! "
Shi Xiaobai's voice was filled with anger and hatred. With light footsteps, he walked towards the sandpit.
"Big Brother?" Little Fatso's eyes were filled with tears. The way he looked at Shi Xiaobai was filled with intense disbelief, but there was also a tiny sliver of hope.
Shi Xiaobai turned a blind eye to it and said respectfully to the calamity fiend, "This lowly one believes that compared to physical torture, mental torture is several times more painful! This lowly one will tear apart the last bit of hope he has, making despair have nowhere to hide. "
Shi Xiaobai turned to look at Little Fatso and said coldly, "You lowly and foolish human, do you think your Big Brother is really a hero? Do you think your Big Brother will save you? No, that's all a lie. It's all fake. Do you understand? Are you in despair? "
Shi Xiaobai laughed maniacally as he walked to the side of the sandpit. Suddenly, he raised his leg and kicked Little Fatso's body. Little Fatso immediately flew backwards as he cried out in pain.
"Great Lord Sahadun, take a rest first. Let this lowly one teach this foolish human what despair is."
Shi Xiaobai walked towards Little Fatso who had fallen to the ground. His eyes seemed to contain the cruelest demon.
