Zhou Ruins: Unreal Dimension 1

Chapter 16 The Despicable Dagger
"Warning: The Redeemer has been detected to ingest a large amount of hallucinogenic ingredients and is about to fall into a coma."

"According to the virtual simulation, this coma will lead to the death of the redeemer, and the hidden authority will be activated soon."

"This negative state is about to be purified, the awakening of the world's will will be delayed, and the difficulty of the main task will be raised by one level. Redeemers, please be prepared."

A warm current blew through the body like a spring breeze, and after a while, the thinking gradually became clear, and all the strange feelings were swept away, just like waking up from a big dream.

"Don't trust anyone easily. People's hearts are always the most unpredictable. If you trust the results of others, you may not even know how you died."

"Remember, human beings are the most dangerous and terrifying creatures."

Ling Zhi's words vaguely floated in his ears.

Experience is always the best teacher, but it is often accompanied by a painful price.

"Is this what Uncle Ling said, the feeling of being deceived..."

"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world."

After sitting on the bed for a while, Liu An slowly accepted the bloody reality.

"If I am not the so-called redeemer, I should die again."

The faint light flickered gently, and the faint fragrance brought him back to his thoughts.

Staring at the oil lamp with complicated eyes, he couldn't help but let out a mournful laugh.

"There are not many survivors, why is this?"

Liu An couldn't figure it out.

After a while, his gaze changed from confusion to firmness, as if he had made up his mind.

"Since you want to kill me, don't blame me."

"Fortunately, it wasn't the dagger that was taken along."

……

Liu An covered the quilt, held the dagger tightly in his right hand, and lay on the bed pretending to be asleep.

His thoughts turned quickly, deducing all kinds of possibilities that might happen next.

After about half an hour, finally, I heard the sound of the door being opened.

"Jingjing's place is ready."

"Well, I just took her next door and I'm playing house with the doll now."

"That's fine, let's deal with it faster this time, don't let Jingjing find out."

However, when the quilt was lifted, the smile on Brother Li's face froze instantly.

Because he saw a red right hand that was tightly clenched
He couldn't figure out why Liu An didn't pass out until he died.

His throat rolled a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't do it anymore.

"Do not--!"

Mrs. Li screamed, and rushed forward with bared teeth and claws, her eyes were full of hatred and anger, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

But after all, she was just an unarmed ordinary person, and she was subdued in an instant.

Liu An controlled his grief and anger, pressed the dagger firmly to her neck, and tried his best to suppress the desire to stab her.

Liu An asked with gritted teeth.

Mrs. Li was unusually calm at this time, and calmly replied:
"It's ridiculous and absurd. It's you who use such despicable means to trick innocent people into the door and drug them. How come others will miss your words."

Liu An laughed out of anger for a moment, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh, don't you believe it? We don't want to believe it either, but this is the truth."

"That day, my husband and I witnessed a family in the opposite building with our own binoculars."

"They took advantage of a rainy night to cut through the wall next to the neighbor's house. You can imagine what happened after that even if I don't tell you."

"From then on, we realized that if we don't start now, we will be the ones who will die in the future!"

"As for people like you, you are going to die of starvation and thirst. We let you eat and drink before you go on the road. You should be grateful to us!"

Mrs. Li became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she didn't feel that the tip of the dagger had pierced her neck a little bit.

"Does Jingjing know about this?"

After hearing her daughter's nickname, Aunt Li was clearly in a state of confusion, and hurriedly begged:

"No, please, don't let her know, you can do whatever you want to me, just let my daughter go."

"We did all of this by ourselves. It has nothing to do with my daughter. Please, don't kill her. She doesn't know anything."

Liu An silently looked at this crazy woman who was kneeling in front of him, pleading for her daughter, her eyes became colder and colder.

"You yourself know that these are wrong, why did you make such an argument just now! Why don't you go find something to eat!"

"Then why did you escape here? Next to the school, the damn bell rings day after day, and there are living dead everywhere outside. Could it be possible to go out and seek death?"

Liu An choked for a moment, unable to refute.

"I can die, but I beg you, please take care of Jingjing for us."

"Please, she's only a child."

Liu An's heart softened.

Indeed, a child does not understand anything, so how can he say right and wrong.

Then before you leave this world, take care of her for a while.

"Okay, I promise you, is there any other last words?"

"Thank you, no more, I only have this one wish."

As the dagger slashed across the throat, the yellow oil lamp flickered cheerfully, as if to celebrate that someone finally helped them avenge themselves.

Quietly watching a sign of life dissipate in convulsions, but did not notice at all that the little girl at the door was covering her mouth, trying not to make any sound.

Her tears couldn't stop flowing, she sobbed silently...
