Going to the abandoned apartment where the Earth God lived to seek help was the right choice, but the problem was that Song Yu misjudged the seriousness of the current situation.
When they walked up the mountain path, they found that some zombie-like guys had climbed over the ridge and were approaching them from above.
This forced Song Yu and the others to give up on going to the Earth God and change their escape route.
However, even if they gave up on the mountain path paved with stone slabs and walked in the forest at a steep slope, as long as they stopped to rest for a little longer, they would be able to see shadows appearing around them. Even if they tried their best to shake them off, there was no change at all.
It was as if those things that used to be human could sense where Song Yu and the others were.
Although they found a deserted pavilion built in the wilderness during the process of hiding, if they continued like this, they would be caught sooner or later.
At this point, Song Yu finally had to face the fact that they had been surrounded by those zombie-like things, and the encirclement was gradually closing in.
"What should we do …"
Not to mention the girl's anxiety, her two companions were also in a somewhat delicate situation.
Xiao Ruoying had been hesitant to speak, her hands clenched tightly, and from time to time, she peeked at Xiao Zhengyi.
Xiao Zhengyi, on the other hand, had become more and more silent after being injured. At first, he would make some suggestions about the direction of escape, but now, he didn't say a word.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhengyi stood up and walked slowly to Song Yu, who was biting her thumbnail and thinking hard.
"Officer Xiao, what's wrong?"
Song Yu raised her head subconsciously.
The next moment, Xiao Zhengyi raised his leg and kicked Song Yu's lower abdomen fiercely. After a dull sound, the girl was kicked nearly two meters away. Finally, she crashed heavily into the pavilion's pillar before falling to the ground!
At the moment when Song Yu was attacked, the Shen pearl emitted a glow to fight back, but it was offset by the two layers of protection of the bracelet on Xiao Zhengyi's hand.
In the end, the Shen pearl could only protect the girl as much as possible, so the blow that could directly kill her was reduced to just making her vomit on the ground.
"Sister Song!"
Xiao Ruoying immediately got up to help Song Yu, but was stopped by Xiao Zhengyi.
"Ah ah," 'Xiao Zhengyi' said, but his tone was very strange. It was as if he had changed into a slow old man, and it made people shudder. "The heavens have taken good care of me … Not only did they give me such an excellent body, they even gave me a ready-made 'soul knot'."
"…" Xiao Ruoying's body began to tremble, and her pupils shrank a little. She looked at 'Xiao Zhengyi' with an expression full of fear. "It's you?"
"Huh? Judging from your reaction, could it be that you're one of the subjects I used for my experiments? " A sickly smile appeared on 'Xiao Zhengyi's' face. "… But I'm sorry, I've handled too many experimental subjects, so it's impossible for me to remember their faces. But in the words of Buddhism, this is fate! "
"Cough cough, Ruoying … run …"
Song Yu, who was still kneeling on the ground, did her best to maintain her consciousness. She didn't allow herself to faint because of her injuries, and she used the last of her strength to weakly speak to Xiao Ruoying.
"Do you want to run?" 'Xiao Zhengyi' didn't seem to care at all. He just spread his arms, as if he was devising a strategy. "If you want to play a game of human and ghost, I don't mind."
"…"
Xiao Ruoying was silent for a moment. She didn't run away, but slowly approached 'Xiao Zhengyi'.
"I've been hesitating. I don't know if I should get close to Big Brother," she said softly.
"Huh? What are you talking about? "
'Xiao Zhengyi' frowned in displeasure.
"I've been very willful since I was young."
The girl didn't care at all about the other party's malicious words, and continued to speak.
"I know that Big Brother doesn't like me, but I still like to be with Big Brother.
"Because I like Big Brother the most.
"I know better than anyone the gentleness hidden under Big Brother's appearance.
"No matter how much you hate me, you'll still cover me with a blanket, chase away the mosquitoes in the mosquito net for me, and talk to me patiently.
"If I'm bullied outside, you'll immediately take me to take revenge. Even if you're beaten by the king of children who are older than you, you'll never admit defeat.
"Every time I get lost in the mountains, you'll always be the first to find me.
"When Mom and Dad aren't home, you'll cook for me and coax me to sleep.
"That's why I always want to stay by Big Brother's side.
"I'm sorry, I'm so willful. It must be very difficult for you, right?
"At that time, Big Brother was clearly studying for an important exam, but I still willfully stayed by your side and distracted you.
"I know Big Brother's wish, and I understand Big Brother's pressure, but I can't help Big Brother at all.
"That's why I worked very hard to find the four-leaf clover in the wild that day … They all say that the four-leaf clover can bring good luck. If you have that, Big Brother, you'll definitely be able to get into the university you like, right?"
The girl loosened her tightly clenched fist, revealing the four-leaf clover that she had found with great difficulty. Then, she held it with both hands and handed it to 'Xiao Zhengyi'.
"If there's anything I miss about this world, it must be this!"
Xiao Ruoying's body trembled slightly in the cold wind of the winter night. Like a delicate cherry blossom that would wither at any time, she revealed a sad but beautiful smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm so late to give it to you."
Many green dots of light appeared around her. They were the wraiths that had once stuck together with Xiao Ruoying. Before they entered the cycle of reincarnation, they returned to the present world in order to repay Xiao Ruoying, who had always supported them as the core and fulfilled their wishes. Even if it was only for a short ten seconds, it was enough to lend Xiao Ruoying power, allowing her to freely control this body and fulfill her last wish in this world.
The appearance of these firefly like human souls rendered this scene as illusory and ethereal as a dream.
'Xiao Zhengyi' stared blankly at the girl in front of him.
The next moment.
His right hand pierced through the girl's chest.
The light of the human souls disappeared, and everything around him fell from the warm dream to the cold reality.
"Hmph, boring." 'Xiao Zhengyi', who had not reacted since the beginning, grinned coldly. "Do you think I'll let you go to the afterlife?!"
Because her body was made of clay, there was no blood, so only fine sand flowed out of the girl's penetrated chest. The kind of cracks that would only appear on porcelain started from the wound and gradually spread to the girl's body.
On her face, there was no despair at the pain she was about to suffer, only hatred for herself for being so shallow and unable to awaken Big Brother.
