El magnate supremo de la ciudad - Capítulo 88
Before the stretcher had been carried a few steps, Murong Ci struggled and her frail body rolled off the stretcher.
"Xiao Ci—"
Murong Yin was shocked and looked at Murong Ci, who was rolling on the ground. "What are you doing?!"
Murong Ci got up from the ground without saying a word, bit her lip, and covered her crippled arm. She didn't know where she got such great strength from, and she staggered into the secret passage, the place where Murong Yin had just come out!
"Xiao Ci, come back—"
Murong Yin trembled and struggled to get off the wheelchair. His crippled legs dragged him down like boulders, and he fell heavily to the ground, letting out a terrified roar of pain.
"You can't go in, come back—"
At the same time, the secret passage suddenly fell into a deathly silence!
However.
That was just a moment of silence!
"ah--!!!!!"
Murong Ci's heart-wrenching, desperate screams pierced the deathly silence from the secret passage. It was a scream devoid of any rhythm, but rather an instinctive, heart-wrenching cry uttered when a person is in the deepest pain!
She screamed in terror, as if she had gone mad!
Murong Yin struggled to lift himself up from the ground, hot tears streaming down his clear eyes!
Xiao Ci...
She saw it!
Inside the secret passage.
Murong Ci collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, grief raging and tearing through her body...
A sharp pain burst forth in her chest!
Blood gushed wildly from the corner of her mouth, surging from her chest!
What she saw in that instant was enough to darken the rest of her life like hell, enough to make her kill herself a thousand times over, enough to drive her mad!
The young man in scarlet clothes, Hua Chen, huddled in the corner.
His body was unrecognizable, with exposed white bones on his arms and legs, as if someone had used a sharp knife to cut away his flesh piece by piece, and that sharp knife was tightly held in the dead boy's hand.
His soft, crimson clothes were frozen solid by the blood that flowed from his body, as hard as ice.
It's a terrible sight!!
In despair, Murong Ci finally understood!
In the pitch-black passage, just as she was starving to death, he handed her pieces of meat, claiming it was rat meat he had caught, but it turned out to be—
He cut flesh from his own body to feed her, just to keep her alive!
Just as the Dragon-Slaying Stone was about to be opened, he climbed here alone. He knew his little sister, Xiao Ci, could survive, so—
He can finally die in peace!
People in the desert say that people in the Central Plains are cold-hearted, and today I finally understand...
Gazing at the crimson-clad youth prostrate and silent before her, Princess Xingluo, who had been standing to the side, silently shed tears and stammered:
"So there are still such loving men in this world..."
Hua Chen, an eighteen-year-old boy in scarlet robes!
He was once dashing and heroic, dressed in fiery red, wielding his spear amidst the fluttering magnolia blossoms, causing pure white petals to fall like snowflakes. His mischievous smile was exceptionally bright, and the heroic spirit between his brows, set against the red tassel, made him dazzling!
He once sat on the Nine-Bend Bridge, holding a wine jar, slightly tipsy, laughing unrestrainedly like a child. His youthful face was clean and pure, and in his heart, he dreamed of becoming a great hero!
A cold wind blew by.
The scarlet-clad boy, who had been dead for some time, was curled up in the corner. His gruesome remains, though horribly mutilated, resembled a bright red flame, stinging everyone's eyes.
Everything was frozen at the age of eighteen!
Inside the secret passage filled with cold air.
Overwhelmed with grief, Murong Ci suddenly stood up and lunged forward to grab the dagger in Hua Chen's hand. The well-trained golden-armored warriors beside her rushed forward, but were stopped by Murong Ci's shrill shout.
"I'll kill anyone who dares to come up here!!"
The pain is driving me crazy!
She lay on Hua Chen's corpse, a sharp knife in her hand, glaring fiercely at anyone who tried to snatch the dagger from her, like a mother wolf. Blood stained the corners of her mouth, and her eyes seemed to hold a blood-red hue.
She's going to die!
She wants to die alongside Hua Chen!
