Chapter 263 A Heart That Aches Beyond Breath

“Wow, this guy has an AWM, I'll take it. Your 98k is just for headshots anyway.”

Bai Yingying, facing the computer screen, spoke with undisguised joy. Then she quickly looted the crate, as if afraid Qu Zhenzhen would change her mind.

In fact, Qu Zhenzhen playing games with Bai Yingying was like an emperor accompanying a prince to study.

If a zombie suddenly appeared in front of you,

Which would you choose: being eaten by it or playing games with it?

Anyone with a normal brain would choose the latter.

Gaming really didn't mean much to Qu Zhenzhen. Hearing, control, dynamic visual capture—she could already perform at a level beyond the limits of ordinary people, so naturally there was no challenge.

However, just as she headshot and killed another lone wolf on the screen,

She suddenly realized that her screen had gone black.

The computer was malfunctioning?

She immediately looked to her right,

Only to find that there was no one there.

She stood up and looked around.

The internet café, which should have been bustling at this hour, was now empty, and all the computer screens were black.

Qu Zhenzhen stood up. She first ran to the office, but found no one there. Then she ran upstairs, but her brother wasn't there either.

She started shouting,

She started calling,

But received no response.

It was as if she was the only person left in the world,

That fear,

That helplessness,

That oppressive feeling of isolation was like venomous snakes, constantly gnawing at her heart.

…………

“A person's eyes are the purest things in this world; they can see through all illusions.

A person's hands, a person's hearing, a person's sense of smell, are the same. They are the ways you touched and understood the world when you were just a child.

So,

Using gu worms to replace your eyes, replace your ears, replace your hands, abandoning the real pearls, and using those lowly, disgusting insects to replace yourself in perceiving the world,

Is, in itself, a laughable case of abandoning the fundamental for the superficial.”

The black shadow appeared next to Qu Zhenzhen. The internet café was still bustling, filled with the clamor of voices, many shouting and yelling, clearly in the throes of an intense game.

A talisman was stuck to Qu Zhenzhen's chest.

It was a very simple talisman,

It was plain and unadorned, with no energy fluctuations, and even inferior in level to the old Taoist priest's family heirloom talismans.

It would be difficult to suppress gods or ghosts, but it could suppress insects.

A leaf before the eyes,

That was,

The meaning of this.

And at this time, Qu Zhenzhen could only immerse herself in the illusion brought about by the talisman, because the insects in her body were deceived, so she was deceived as well.

The way to break the situation was actually very simple, which was to temporarily stop using insects to perceive the outside world and personally open her eyes to take a look, and it would be broken.

But she didn't.

The more critical the situation,

The more she trusted the power that the insects in her body could bring her.

The black shadow shook his head. “Not a bad furnace, hehe.”

The black shadow then turned to look at Bai Yingying. Bai Yingying frowned slightly; she seemed to sense something, but as she turned her head to look at Qu Zhenzhen beside her,

The sound of a xiao,

Suddenly rang out!

The sound of the xiao was very close, as if playing right next to her eardrums. Those notes turned into sharp knives, directly piercing into the depths of Bai Yingying's heart.

"Boss!"

Bai Yingying felt that under the torment of the xiao sound, her vision became a little blurry, and many things were no longer clear. Even Qu Zhenzhen beside her was not very clear; she only felt that the person was constantly twisting. Of course, everything in her vision was twisting.

Stretching,

Extending,

Bending,

The world around her seemed to have turned into a giant funhouse mirror,

Disgusting,

Dizzying,

Tearing pain, like a tide, rushed towards her, frantically submerging her, and she couldn't even manage to stick her head out to take another breath of air.

This was despair,

Like a huge罩子 (zhàozi, cover),

Completely burying you from the beginning!

Bai Yingying walked and knelt down. She subconsciously covered her ears, but it was useless. The sound of the xiao would continue to ring in her heart, tormenting her again and again.

"Boss..."

Bai Yingying remembered that the boss was in the office; she wanted to see how things were going for the boss. She was afraid that there was danger there too.

Staggering to her feet again, Bai Yingying stumbled towards the office.

The black shadow stood next to Bai Yingying,

The sound of the xiao continued,

But as Bai Yingying approached the office, the black shadow let out a sound of "surprise,"

Under the torment of his xiao sound, this zombie could still hold firm to her beliefs, which surprised him a bit.

On the office door were three talismans: one red, one purple, and one black. When they were stuck together on the door, the inside and outside were effectively isolated.

The people inside could not sense anything happening outside; everything seemed as usual.

“He is a ghost messenger, an enforcer of the underworld's order; he can live because he is useful.

You, this zombie evil,

What use is there in keeping you?”

The jade xiao flew over, directly striking Bai Yingying's chest.

Before the jade xiao, the female receptionist, that fox spirit, could only rely on breaking her tail to survive in utter embarrassment, let alone Bai Yingying, who was wholeheartedly concerned about her boss's safety.

"Bang!"

Bai Yingying was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Roar!"

Bai Yingying let out an angry roar.

"Who is it! Who exactly is it! I'm going to eat you! I'm going to tear you apart!"

Bai Yingying kept looking around, her face full of anger.

"You think you're worthy?"

"Bang!"

The jade xiao reappeared and, before Bai Yingying could react, struck her again.

"Whirr, whirr..."

The windows on one side of the internet café were shattered, and Bai Yingying fell out, landing on the dark road.

The people playing games in the internet café didn't seem to hear anything at all; only one person muttered to himself strangely, "Was that thunder outside?"

"Boss! Boss! Watch out for a sneak attack! Watch out for the xiao sound."

Bai Yingying got up from the road, and the corpse energy in her body began to erupt madly, to the point that the streetlights nearby shattered instantly.

She was trying to tell Zhou Ze that someone was attacking, someone was targeting the bookstore.

"Hehe."

The black shadow attacked again, the jade xiao like a ghost, once again blocking Bai Yingying's path.

“This physique is not bad; it’s been nourished for a long time, hasn’t it? Instead of obediently hiding deep in the mountains and forests to continue cultivating in seclusion, you dare to appear brazenly in the downtown area. Do you really think that there is no one righteous in my sect?”

"Roar!"

This time,

Bai Yingying grabbed the jade xiao with both hands, preventing it from hitting her like before.

But the black shadow instantly closed in on Bai Yingying, and quickly moved upwards, sticking two talismans directly on the back of Bai Yingying's hands.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, the Mystic Heart Righteous Art, summon lightning!"

Bai Yingying looked at the two talismans on the back of her hands and subconsciously wanted to slap them away, but for some reason, her hands couldn't let go of the jade xiao, as if they were stuck to it.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Two bolts of lightning erupted,

Stirring up layers of smoke and dust.

After the smoke and dust dissipated,

Bai Yingying knelt on the ground, her arms drooping weakly at her sides, her originally delicate and fair hands already charred black.

The black shadow attacked again,

He originally thought that Bai Yingying would wait for her doom,

But in the next moment,

Bai Yingying suddenly stood up, and then began to madly rush towards the building where the internet café was located, she crashed into the support pillar of this building.

She could sense it,

The boss was in the internet café, in that office, but she didn't know what method this person used, the boss couldn't sense her calls and reminders.

She couldn't let the boss be caught by surprise,

She had to warn the boss!

"Arrogant!"

The black shadow's position instantly changed, appearing on Bai Yingying's path, the jade xiao forward, and two talismans identical to the previous ones were pushed forward.

And Bai Yingying's arms drooped naturally, her running posture was a bit comical, her aura was already very chaotic, and the extremely strong and upright qi attached to the jade xiao was the nemesis of the baleful aura in Bai Yingying's body.

However,

Even so,

Bai Yingying still rushed towards that pillar, towards the black shadow blocking her way, in a very uncoordinated manner.

She was going to knock down the pillar,

That way, the boss above would definitely be alerted,

There was something wrong with this xiao sound,

She absolutely could not let the boss fall for its trick too!

“Not knowing…………life or death!”

The jade xiao struck Bai Yingying again, and the two lightning talismans were also triggered together. For a time, countless lightning snakes were dancing wildly on Bai Yingying's body, cracks constantly appearing on her body, and drops of her zombie blood fell.

“How much craftiness can a beast display? It only increases………hmm?”

The black shadow paused,

From within the dust, a girl with disheveled hair opened her mouth, revealing those two terrifying fangs, biting the jade xiao in a hysterical manner, and then the huge inertia carried by her body continued to rush forward as before.

The black shadow was directly shattered,

Turning into flying fragments of human skin.

But the jade xiao, bitten by Bai Yingying, suddenly emitted a burst of blue light, and blue flames began to burn on Bai Yingying's body.

Not far away,

A new black shadow condensed again,

It was just a piece of human skin,

He,

Had many.

The black shadow did not move again,

Just watching the burning girl continue to stumble towards the pillar,

In the black shadow's view,

This zombie, was crazy.

Finally,

Bai Yingying rushed to the pillar,

But she had no strength left,

The baleful aura on her body began to dissipate rapidly,

Except for the wounds, the skin on other parts of her body was also rapidly cracking and wrinkling,

But in the end,

She still came to the pillar,

She no longer had the strength to support her in knocking down this pillar,

But she still stubbornly used her forehead, using the last bit of strength,

With a small "thud,"

To hit the pillar without reservation.

The pillar didn't collapse, nor did it crack, and the building didn't shake. This amount of force, equivalent to an ordinary person's slap, was not worth mentioning to this pillar or the entire building.

Then,

Her body leaned against the pillar,

And collapsed weakly.

………………

Inside the office,

Zhou Ze, holding a wine glass, suddenly took a sharp breath,

After putting down the wine glass, he grabbed his chest tightly with his left hand,

His heart had clearly been eaten by himself,

But now,

It suddenly started to ache violently,

Aching so much,

That he couldn't even breathe...
