Chapter 717

Half of the building was in a mess. Traces of wind and frost could be seen everywhere. Fortunately, there was no one living here. There were not many people in the city, so there was no further reaction.

Su Bai sat on the stairs, panting. His gaze was fixed on the pile of dust below him. That was the last trace left behind by Lan Lin.

It was hard to imagine that a woman like that would die just like that.

It was so unreal, so unexpected.

Yan Huihong walked out with an exquisite box in his hand. He squatted down beside the pile of dust. He held the box in one hand and grabbed the dust with the other, as though he was making an urn for Lan Lin.

Bang Lou leaned against the wall. His eyes were filled with loneliness, and his expression was bleak.

Lan Lin was dead. A woman who schemed against all three men had died just like that. However, the three men did not feel any joy from the death of their enemy. Instead, there was a special emotion in the air.

It was just like how if the monk or Gyatso were to die one day, Su Bai would probably not feel happy either. Although they had schemed against each other before, perhaps this was how people got along in the horror broadcast. There would always be a little bit of sympathy.

"This is so f * cking fake." Su Bai raised his head, grabbed his hair with one hand, and let out a long sigh of relief. "I don\'t understand at all; it\'s too ridiculous."

Yan Huihong carefully put the last bit of dust into the box. He stood up and looked at Bang Lou. "Are you going to collect it or should I?"

"I'll do it. When I bring it back to the real world, I'll find a beautiful place to set up a barrier. That way, she won't be troubled by the outside world." Bang Lou did not stand on ceremony and took the urn.

"Hey, is there anyone who can explain?"

Su Bai opened his arms and looked at the two men in front of him. To Su Bai, he really did not know what had happened. Perhaps, he was not high enough. Perhaps, he did not have enough vision. However, it was hard for him to accept the fact that a powerful woman had committed suicide for no reason.

"Hehe." Bang Lou suddenly laughed. "If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't have died." Bang Lou pointed at Su Bai. "And now, you're still asking why?"

Su Bai nodded and said, "I was the one who was prepared to die. She had already told me that she was going to kill me. I was also prepared. I only did what I thought I could do to make my death a little more tragic. However, I didn't die, but she died. I didn't kill her, you didn't kill her, and definitely not him.

I want to know who killed her. "

It was clearly suicide, but Su Bai still asked who killed her. Evidently, Su Bai was asking about something deeper. He was asking about Lan Lin's motive.

"It was fear. It was fear that caused her to choose death. It was fear that crushed her." Bang Lou opened his mouth and looked at Yan Huihong. "Also, Old Yan, your last sentence was the last straw that crushed Lan Lin."

"She has already gone mad." There was no guilt on Yan Huihong's face, only a sigh. "She, who has been obsessed, is no longer the Lanlin I know. I said that just to give her a relief. Otherwise, she will lose herself completely and be lost in this story world forever."

"Don't talk so much nonsense. Can't we talk properly?" Su Bai stood up and touched his pocket. He found a box of blood-stained cigarettes. He took one out and lit it with difficulty. He took a deep puff and emphasized, "Speak human language."

Yan Huihong ignored Su Bai and walked into the room.

Bang Lou wanted to leave, but when he saw Su Bai's gaze, he sighed. He was able to survive. Although he did not want to think about it, it was true that Su Bai had stopped at that moment. Otherwise, he would have died.

"When you reach a certain level in the future, you will also encounter the same problem that we are facing now. That is, whether you want to advance further and become a carp that leaps through the dragon gate or continue to bury your head in the sand like an ostrich and continue living under the pressure of the terrifying broadcast.

Actually, from the moment she entered this world, Lan Lin had already seen what would happen. Hence, she acted according to what she saw. She felt that doing so would allow her to achieve the result she wanted.

She was sowing her own seed and wanted to reap the fruit herself.

So, not long after entering the story world, she found me and asked me to join forces with her to snatch something from Old Yan's hands. Because I didn't get along with Old Yan, I agreed. After that, Old Yan was seriously injured by us and had to hide in a woman's belly to find a chance to heal. Then, I met you, right? "

Su Bai pursed his lips and pointed to himself. "Her motive was all for me?"

"No, don't overestimate yourself. What she wanted was the bloodline in your body and the drop of blood that you had fused with." Bang Lou wanted to show his arrogance out of habit. However, when he thought about how he had been beaten up by Su Bai, it would be a joke to put on an arrogant front. Hence, he restrained himself.

"Then?"

"Then, you got to know Old Yan. Old Yan had a good impression of you. Later, when you met her during a meal, did you really think it was a coincidence? Did you think that no matter how good you were at hiding, you could hide from her eyes? Did you think that she was so gluttonous that she had to sit at the same table as you?

She purposely arranged for you and my Pi Xiu to guard the pile of corpses, then purposely provoked you and humiliated you. Her motive was simple and clear. She wanted you to do something.

And the things that you were about to do, she actually saw it too. "

"I do know about this. She has been manipulating me all this time, pushing me to walk the path she wants me to walk. She sucked your Pi Xiu true blood, and then you delivered yourself to me, becoming so weak. Everything is too much of a coincidence.

But I really did not know that she actually had a simpler and more direct way to accomplish all these. For example, when we first met, before we even formed a team, she killed me and then found a chance to kill you. Then, she extracted your blood and the Pi Xiu's blood. Isn't that the same? "

A bitter smile appeared on Thunderbolt Tower's lips. "Karma is a process. She had to walk down the path that she saw. She could not overstep or skip steps. She could not change it on her own. Otherwise, karma would be messed up. Once karma is messed up, she would not be able to see clearly.

For example, in the real world, many organizations would hold ideological education meetings every now and then to talk about the so-called party spirit, fairness, honesty, and service to the people. Those who supported the speakers at the meetings and those who sat down to listen to the speeches, even the people, knew that these were just taking off their pants to fart. However, they had no choice but to hold these meetings, and they had no choice but to do it. This form had to be carried out.

Karma, from what I understand, is like this. Take one step and see three steps ahead. Even if you are pedantic, even if there seems to be a more convenient way, you still have to continue following the rules. Because this path naturally has its own path. If you take a shortcut and take another path, it might cause other karma to appear, similar to the butterfly effect. "

"Then, why did she commit suicide?"

"Because when she suddenly realized that she could not see the path in front of her, when she realized that things that were supposed to develop that way had suddenly changed, she felt a great fear that came from karma and fate.

It was like an ordinary person looking up at the starry sky. You would think that the starry sky was very beautiful. Even though it was vast, even though it was boundless, even though he knew that he was very insignificant, he could still continue living leisurely.

However, one day, the starry sky became a pair of eyes. Beyond the starry sky, there was a person so large that even the data couldn't measure it looking at you. When the Earth you lived in was just a speck of dust in that person's eyes, would you still be able to calmly admire the beautiful starry sky every day?

This is the kind of great fear. The more you know, the more you feel it. In the end, when you realized that you were wrong, the fear you had to bear would multiply by many times. She could not bear it, so she chose to end her own life. "

"A martyr?" Su Bai asked.

"A martyr? Hehe, I guess so. In any case, I don't dare to look at karma anymore. Even if I have to be a coward for the rest of my life, it's better than bearing that terrifying fear. I'm very afraid. "

Pi Lou took one last look at the place where Lan Lin had died. He turned around and prepared to enter the room.

Su Bai sighed and prepared to enter as well.

However, at that moment, a loud shout came from the room, followed by a terrifying pressure.

Pi Lou's expression changed instantly. He opened his hands, and the wall disappeared. The living room appeared in front of them.

In the living room, a tall cat-human with tentacles and a cat-face stood there. Yan Huihong's entire body was wrapped up by tentacles.

What was even more shocking was that Yan Huihong, who relied on his physical strength to survive, could not resist the tentacles at all. His entire body was bound tightly.

"Damn it, they've already fused into one so quickly!"

Pi Lou quickly formed a seal with his hands. A barrier appeared, intending to cut off the tentacles and help Yan Huihong escape. However, the faces on the giant cat-human's body looked toward them. Pi Lou's eyes were filled with electricity. Blood flowed out of his eyes, and he actually knelt down. His face was red, and his body was trembling as if he could collapse at any moment.

Three tentacles flew in front of Su Bai. They directly bound Su Bai's legs and waist, and pulled Su Bai over.

"Bang!"

Su Bai was bound and lying in front of the cat-human.

He forcefully raised his head.

Coincidentally, there was also a face on the cat-human's stomach. This face was looking at him.

It was Catwoman's face. At this moment, her expression seemed to say,

See, this time, I can finally break free from your control … and … I can control you.
