Chapter 10: The fist is hard

Xu Cheng's fist came first and hit Lin Yixue's chest.

He felt his fist as if he was trapped in a pool of cold mud, and the cross in the palm of his hand radiated dazzling light again.

"ah!"

Lin Yixue let out a sharp roar, her figure shot out, quickly turned around and flew out through the wall.

Xu Cheng realized that Lin Yixue was about to run, so he hurriedly chased after him, pushed open the model blocking the road, and knocked open the door of the warehouse to rush into the corridor.

Lin Yixue's figure has flew far away and is about to disappear from sight.

In desperation, Xu Cheng threw the cross in his hand out with force.

This is a very risky move. Once the cross is not hit, Xu Cheng will lose his weapon. Lin Yixue can come back at any time to let him understand the consequences of throwing things around.

Under the strong force, the cross flew out a nearly straight line, hitting Lin Yixue's back.

Lin Yixue screamed again and threw herself forward to the ground.

Xu Cheng hurried over and saw Lin Yixue lying on the ground, her limbs twitching to get up, the cross stuck to her back, and black smoke was still sizzling.

Xu Cheng simply lay down and pressed against Lin Yixue's back with his weight.

He felt like he was pressing on an erupting volcano. The huge force wanted to lift himself away several times, and he could only do his best to suppress her hands and feet.

After struggling for a few minutes, Lin Yixue finally stopped moving and the cross stopped smoking.

"it hurts……"

Xu Cheng suddenly heard a slight moan sound from under him and quickly got up.

Instead of rashly taking back the cross, he turned Lin Yixue over, his hair spread out, revealing a painful face.

Without the gloomy horror as before, he seems pitiful.

Xu Cheng called softly: "Lin Yixue."

Lin Yixue's eyes slowly turned, her eyes fell on Xu Cheng's face, staring at him for a while, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Her lips were squirming, making a sound that was almost inaudible: "Xu Cheng, I didn't mean it, I can't control myself..."

After committing suicide, her consciousness became confused and it was difficult to think when she saw an acquaintance. All her actions were out of a strange instinct.

She did not return to normal until the cross eliminated her weird instinct.

Xu Cheng didn't care, but instead breathed a sigh of relief that Lin Yixue could keep her memory, otherwise she really didn't know how to start.

"I don't blame you, tell me, why did you commit suicide?"

Lin Yixue looked confused: "I don't know... I couldn't think after reading the letter that day..."

Xu Cheng hurriedly asked, "What is the content of that letter? Where did it come from?"

Lin Yixue shook her head in pain: "I... can't remember it."

"Then look at this."

Xu Cheng took out the notebook he had taken from Lin Yixue's home from his backpack, then half picked up Lin Yixue, and took off the cross that was stuck to her back.

The cross has dimmed a lot, and it looks like it is covered with a layer of gray.

Xu Cheng asked Lin Yixue to lean on her back in her arms and flipped the notebook in front of her: "Look, this is the notebook I got from your house. Look, is the content on it related to that letter?"

The notebook was flipping, and the strange pattern of one eye was revealed.

Lin Yixue endured the pain from the soul and looked at the pattern with her eyes wide open. The originally vague memories gradually became clear.

"It's this..."

Lin Yixue covered her head with her hands: "I have been dreaming about this pattern... On the day of suicide, I saw this pattern from the letter."

Xu Cheng hurriedly said, "Where did the letter come from?"

Lin Yixue said intermittently with pain on her face: "That letter... Annie gave me... I don't know who... asked her to pass it on..."

Her tone became weaker and weaker, almost to the point of being cut off.

Xu Cheng was shocked. Didn’t Annie’s story say that she didn’t know what she believed?

She is lying!

Could it be that Lin Yixue's death is related to her?

Lin Yixue said with difficulty: "Xu Cheng... do you know how my mother is?"

A scene of Wang Qin jumping out of the sixth floor for life appeared in Xu Cheng's mind, and he whispered: "I've been to your house, your mother is very good."

"That's the case, then I'll feel relieved..."

Lin Yixue murmured to herself: "After my father passed away, my mother raised me alone... She worked so hard. I wanted to work hard to repay her and wanted to spend her life with her... I died, what should she do alone..."

Xu Cheng remained silent and listened to Lin Yixue's voice full of self-blame.

"sorry."

Lin Yixue reacted and apologized: "I've said too much."

Xu Cheng shook his head: "There is no need to apologize. I will take good care of your mother, just like a biological son."

He didn't know if his behavior was a scumbag, and he had to deceive her in front of the dead girl.

"Thanks."

Lin Yixue thanked her. She leaned in Xu Cheng's arms, endured the pain, looked at Xu Cheng with big eyes, and said weakly with a hint of timid expectation: "I wrote to you... letter..."

On the day of suicide, she wrote a confession letter to Xu Cheng.

“I received it.”

Xu Cheng took out the confession letter he carried with him from his backpack, and looked sincere: "I am going to promise you."

Lin Yixue looked at him blankly, suddenly showed a gentle smile, and tears flowed out of her red eyes.

She raised her hand hard and gently stroked Xu Cheng's face.

"Thank you, you are such a... gentle person..."

Before she finished speaking, her hand lost its strength and fell down, and was grabbed by Xu Cheng.

But her long hair and facial features faded away quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, turning into a mannequin again.

A faint fluorescence suddenly emerged from the model, as if it was Lin Yixue's remaining soul. It circled around Xu Cheng for a few times and then sank into his chest.

In Xu Cheng's mind, a hallucination suddenly appeared with a +78 prompt, and then it became completely lit up, not as dark as before.

He focused on it and immediately a detailed explanation appeared.

[Illusion lv1]

[It can create a brief illusion for a single target while reducing the rational value of the target]

The golden finger finally arrived late and got the ability to hallucinate.

But Xu Cheng was not happy at all. He put down his mannequin, silently packed up the fallen items, restored the warehouse to its original state, and then left the office building.

Found the hidden bicycle, and before leaving, Xu Cheng turned around and looked at the office building in the dark.

The blood-stained knife that pierced his chest during the journey, and the ferocious faces of several hypnotized strong men, Wang Qin jumped down on the sixth floor, hugged her daughter's portrait tightly when she died, and the scene of Lin Yixue disappearing in her tears, alternately appearing in her mind.

A ball of anger was ignited at some point, burning in his chest.
