Chapter 1023 Becoming Something Truly Useful

The illusion pierced Li Mingzheng's chest with a long sword and said in a mocking tone:
“She (I) is not like you. If I (he) ask her (me) to leave me (him) and never appear in front of me (him) again, she (I) will definitely do it.”

Even if she (I) suffer to the point of wanting to die because of this, she will still do as I (he) say and completely follow my (his) ideas.

So, that's the difference between her (me) and you; she (I) can give everything for me (him).

Li Mingzheng screamed and nearly went mad, banging his forehead against the ground. Time, physical pain, physical actions, and thoughts all shattered at that moment.

He began to lose awareness of his own behavior; his awareness seemed fragmented, and he only felt words that caused him immense pain constantly drilling into his mind.

It was as if an electric drill had made a hole in his temple, and those words poured in like molten iron, filling every groove of his cerebral cortex with intense heat, almost baking his brain.

He seemed to remember suffering several hours of continuous physical torture, and then that damned man kept torturing him while rambling on about him and Su Yue.

These words became swords and axes, turning into another form of mental torture.

"Brother, you're pathetic. Do you really like Xiaoyue? You don't like her at all because you don't understand the real her. How could you like her?"
Just like those fans, they simply admire the multi-talented, excellent-acting, and beautiful pure and innocent female idol on screen.

That's not the real her, and the Su Yue you think she is isn't the real Su Yue either.

But I've seen her before, I've seen her in all sorts of ways..."

"Her standing splits are very stable, right? But sometimes, they're not actually that stable, though she's very good at squats..."

"You don't know when things started between us, do you? Ten years. I've watched her grow day by day, year by year, from a high school student to a college student, and now, I've witnessed all of her changes..."

Li Mingzheng looked up at the illusion and suddenly felt that the illusion's features were slowly becoming clearer.

Who is he?
Slowly, he realized it was that person! The person he had met at the Divine Law Golf Course!
It's Natsume!
Sure enough, it was him!
Li Mingzheng's imagined Xia Shou grinned and said, "You were there when Yi Lei died, weren't you? Are you terrified of me?"

You're too weak, like a mouse.

Too weak, like a rat...

Like a rat...

Yes, Li Mingzheng is like a rat.

Seeing Li Mingzheng kneeling on the ground with his head smashed and bloodied, Li Mingzheng suddenly felt pleased. He said, "Too weak. You trash, like a rat, actually think you're worthy of Xiaoyue!"

Beside her, Su Yue coldly watched Li Mingzheng, who had completely gone mad.

Before the tenth cycle of the realm, she had already stopped torturing Li Mingzheng and stopped answering his questions.

Since it was no longer needed, Li Mingzheng began to talk to himself, asking and answering his own questions. The words he uttered were entirely imagined in his mind.

He would sometimes answer himself in a condescending and sarcastic tone, and other times he would cower on the ground like a coward, clutching his head and howling and begging.

He asked himself, "When did you and Xiaoyue start dating?"

Then he answered himself: "It started long before you even thought of it."

Although this answer was something Li Mingzheng had come up with by wishful thinking, it has to be said that it was quite close to the truth.

However, Li Mingzheng's questions later became increasingly blatantly private, and his fabricated answers became increasingly inappropriate.

Su Yue had been watching from the sidelines, observing the changes in the other person's death line. She didn't want to continue this disgusting conversation with this person anyway, and Li Mingzheng's ability to evolve on his own was the best thing ever.

And now, it seems that the other side has ushered in the final chapter of its evolution. Li Mingzheng stood upright with his back to Su Yue, looking down at the empty carpet in front of him with the pride, satisfaction, and joy of a victor, as if there were someone there who did not exist.

He kept stroking his cheek as he said to the air, "You piece of trash, you're like a rat, how dare you think you're good enough for Xiaoyue!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Yue, his eyes filled with boundless affection, while his hands had already kneaded the skin on her face into a different shape.

The skin that should have been close to the muscles bulged out in wrinkles, shifting in position as he pulled it with his fingers. After he deliberately smoothed it out, a resemblance to Xia Shou appeared on that face.

"Xiaoyue, this guy is hopeless," Li Mingzheng laughed.

Su Yue stared coldly at that strange-looking face and murmured, "That's about enough, let's leave it at that. But... who do you think you are?"

Su Yue raised her hand and swung it down sharply, tearing off Li Mingzheng's entire face like ripping a window.

With her wrinkled face casually tossed aside, Su Yue frowned and said unhappily, "You think you're worthy of imitating him?"

Stop daydreaming. You are Li Mingzheng. You will only ever be yourself; you can never become anyone else!

Li Mingzheng stood there, stunned. His shattered understanding was roughly pieced back together by that one sentence, and in an instant... he seemed to wake up from a dream.

Su Yue knew that now was the time to shatter the other party's illusion and completely extinguish his insatiable thirst.

Make those who chase after clean water realize that it is a mirage, and make the thirsty understand that they will eventually die of thirst and will not be able to get a single drop of water until their death.

Su Yue sneered, "Why do you think I'm wasting so much time acting with you here?"
Someone like you has some value as a tool, but if you're alive, you have absolutely no value.

Besides, I've been playing you from the very beginning. What do you mean by having a chance to change the future? You never had a single chance from start to finish!
Even ten years ago, at this moment, I belong to him completely, inside and out.

Of course, I could also put it in a way I prefer: Brother Xia Shou's body has completely become mine.

"No! No!! No!!!"

Blood gushed from the gaps between the muscles on Li Ming's face.

"It seems that this alone is not enough to convince you."

Then I'll tell you about something that happened recently, something you probably remember.

When I left my livestream halfway through last time, what did you think I did? You were probably watching my livestream too, right? With your current level of perceptiveness, you could have easily fooled yourself back then, but can't you figure it out now?
You asked me about relationships back then, and now I can give you the real answer.

Even though I'm an idol, idols have their own lives too.

As if venting her anger, Su Yue returned the disgust she had felt years ago.

She smiled contemptuously, her gaze like a hammer, shattering the last vestiges of Li Mingzheng's self-respect.

Li Mingzheng let out a painful howl, and the long "no" was drawn out with completely different tones by him with different emotions.

Ancient, intricate, and exquisite runes lit up the back of Su Yue's hand, like some kind of sacred fluorescent tattoo crawling and spreading from the back of her hand along her arm.

She raised her hand and grabbed the death line on Li Mingzheng's body.

"Li Mingzheng... let him become something truly useful."
