"Zuo Jiangqin, did you know..."
But at this moment, behind her, a nurse’s voice suddenly echoed faintly.
Zuo Jiangqin widened her eyes, then turned around in a daze.
She saw behind her, the nurse silently removing the mask from her face, revealing a tear-streaked yet stunning face.
Yet at this moment, in her hand there wasn’t just the removed mask...
There was also a dagger, glinting coldly.
"You..."
Gripping the dagger tightly, the nurse... or rather, Bai Yi looked at Zuo Jiangqin and said painfully,
"I regret it too...
"I regret being born into this world..."
[滴滴...嗒嗒...]
[滴滴...嗒嗒...]
Time, unchanging through eternity, not swayed by human will.
On the wall, the pendulum swayed, seemingly etching the same moment of Linmen repeatedly.
"Next, number 67. From Luqiao District, Ooi Taiji..."
In Luqiao District, an art gallery had been temporarily rented out.
At the entrance, Yasaka Company’s logo covered the facade, with a banner reading "Yasaka Company Child Star Selection Final Round."
Above the banner was a clock meant to display the time.
Beneath it, numerous families had gathered for the event.
Children dressed in their respective costumes, surrounded by concerned parents advising them not to be nervous and to perform well.
Inside the gallery, the judges for the boys’ group were watching the performance on stage while occasionally glancing at a middle-aged man in a suit sitting nearby.
He watched the children perform intently, then suddenly asked the person next to him,
"How many are left?"
"There are four more children, President Yasaka..."
"...How many boys are left?"
"Uh, there’s one left."
"Hm, this one’s alright. But overall, the quality this year seems quite average..."
"Oh? But the previous kids had excellent talent and weren’t stage-shy, President."
"Hehe..."
The middle-aged man shook his head without explaining, simply said somewhat boredly,
"I’ll leave after the next boy, you all can handle the rest."
"Understood, President."
Saying so, the middle-aged man glanced at the list in front of him,
Number 67, Ooi Taiji, number 68... Yan Huan.
Looking at the names, President Yasaka didn’t linger, instead raising his eyes to the stage again.
"Contestants numbered 68, 69, 70, and 71, please prepare to enter. Parents, please do not enter the venue, wait outside. Thank you for your cooperation!"
"Go on..."
"Good luck! Baby!!"
Outside the door, several boys entered the venue under the watchful eyes of their parents, appearing a bit nervous.
Except for one strikingly handsome boy in a small suit sitting alone in a secluded corner, without any parent in sight.
Yet he wasn’t shy at all; instead, he took a bite from his bread, his eyes revealing a maturity beyond his years,
"The prize money is three thousand bucks, maybe signing a contract will bring more later? Well, even though I don’t want to be in the spotlight, with this money, the summer should be comfortably set..."
The boy counted money on his fingers, then jumped down from the railing and planned to check in.
Just as he turned around, a tall figure suddenly appeared before him.
"Hm?"
The boy blinked, lifting his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
Before him stood a young man with a complex look, gazing straight at him.
"Gulp..."
The boy cleverly scanned the surrounding paths, speaking up,
"Excuse me, could you let me through, I need to get on stage..."
"I know..."
The young man nodded at these words, and also spoke softly,
"But... I can’t let you go." ƒreewebɳovel.com
At the moment he said this, terrifying golden cracks suddenly appeared on his neck,
"Crack crack crack!!"
[滴滴...嗒嗒...]
[滴滴...嗒嗒...]
"Help!!! Aaaah!! There’s a madman here!!"
In the ward, Zuo Jiangqin’s scream suddenly erupted.
The sharp silver blade reflected her panic-stricken face. Even with her weakened body, the instinct to survive made her struggle with every ounce of strength she had, screaming while falling off the bed, crawling towards the door.
"Someone... hurry, someone save... Bai Letian..."
Zuo Jiangqin struggled to run, but suddenly behind her came a startlingly loud baby cry,
"Waa waa!!"
Hearing the cry, Zuo Jiangqin’s face froze slightly.
She turned back dully, only to find the girl with the knife hadn’t chased her, but instead raised it with blood-red eyes towards the tiny life in the cradle.
Perhaps sensing the malice from the figure, or perhaps feeling the absence of its mother, the baby in the cradle began to cry anxiously.
"Drip..."
Before the cradle, Bai Yi raised her knife high, her eyes red, and a tear slipped down her cheek,
"It’s all... over..."
Once she disappeared, the Causal Law Bomb would be defused.
Yan Huan would live, her father wouldn’t go to jail, and her mother would have no regrets, living the life she wanted...
Her own suffering could also finally end. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
With these thoughts, Bai Yi’s gaze turned fierce, clenching her silver teeth as she prepared to plunge downward.
"Ahhh!"
"Bang!"
But just then, she was suddenly tackled hard, stumbling a few steps before falling to the side.
"Clang... clang..."
The dagger fell beside her, mirroring Bai Yi’s stunned expression.
She turned her head to see Bai, panting and holding onto the edge of the cradle, also crying as she looked at her.
