Chapter 131 I'm Not Xin Su (Bonus Chapter for 5000 Words, Please Vote!)

"Jiang Si, Jiang Si, do you know what festival the Xuanwu Gate Incident occurred on?"

There is no holiday on July 2nd.

It's Halloween!

"why?"

"Because if you don't give it to Tang, he'll cause trouble! That's why it's Halloween."

Looking at Lu Ya, who had started laughing on her own and was sprawled on the bed, Jiang Si sometimes wondered if the girl in front of her was some kind of mutant.

He was truly extraordinary.

But in this respect, it is no different from what I remember.

The original Lu Ya was indeed like that.

She always has an unusual sense of humor and is very enthusiastic about sharing jokes that she finds funny with herself.

Although Jiang Si found it inexplicable most of the time, Lu Ya always enjoyed it.

After all, when Jiang Si was telling her stories from online novels, describing plots that Jiang Si herself found very interesting and exciting, Lu Ya would listen quietly and cooperatively.

So, as is customary, even though he didn't understand the joke, Jiang Si listened attentively and nodded.

"It seems that Li Yuan's problem is that he is unaware of the customs and traditions of Halloween."

Lu Ya, who had just gotten up, couldn't help but smile again, her voice even a little hoarse, "Indeed."

Then she lay down on Jiang Si's lap—Jiang Si was sitting on the bed with a blanket over his lap, and Lu Ya was lying on the blanket, practically on his lap, with half her face buried in the blanket, softly reciting jokes she found funny.

However, Jiang Si was basically no longer listening to anything.

He looked out at the garden—he had been looking at it for several days. Across from the garden was a small river that flowed outwards. Looking around, he could see that the river flowed through the manor and into the distance.

You can leave the large manor by following this small river...

Lu Ya confined him to a large manor to recuperate. He didn't know exactly where the manor was, but it was very large.

Jiang Si knew that Lu Ya was rich, but there was nowhere at school where she could show off her wealth.

Everyone knows she's rich, but no one knows exactly how rich she is, judging from this huge estate.

Her family's financial resources are probably not much less than those of Bing Tang.

Lu Ya did not restrict his freedom, but the girl would follow him wherever he went, whether it was to go to the toilet, eat, or even take a shower and sleep.

Like a ghost.

"Don't you have anything else to do?"

"Not yet."

"Let's do something else instead."

“I can play a little longer if I’m with you during the holidays,” Lu Ya said slyly. “My family always wanted me to go to school, but then I told them that you saved my life, and I would have died if it weren’t for you. I said that if they didn’t let me take care of you, I would give my life back to you, and my family agreed. Now I don’t have to go to school!”

It turns out that even children from wealthy families don't like going to school.

Jiang thought of Bing Tang; that guy seemed quite interested in going to school.

When I was in my first year of high school, I often went to school, and she went almost every day, always looking happy.

There are still quite a lot of differences between people.

"Your family is so rich, why do you still need to go to school?"

"My parents didn't want me to study, they just wanted me to interact more with people my age, but now I don't have any friends at school."

Lu Ya lay on the quilt, turned her head to look at Jiang Si, her beautiful face beaming with a smile, the sunlight streaming through the curtains casting dappled shadows on her cheeks.

"So there's no point in going to school at all. You're forcing me to separate from you and go to school to meet those insignificant people. I'd rather die."

Although she was still smiling, Jiang Si felt that there was a sense of lifelessness in the girl's eyes.

Especially when she walked away from him, the intense aura of self-destruction was so strong that it was almost impossible to conceal.

Is this guy even alive?

No wonder he could say such things.

Jiang Si didn't listen to his rambling, indifferent remarks.

They played games, watched TV series and movies, and Lu Ya even found many magical girl anime for him to watch.

Jiang Si did a lot of research on magical girls, and there really wasn't much of a ranking system.

It doesn't even have the four most basic levels.

Jiang Si was quite interested in the fact that he would change his clothes every time he became stronger—or rather, his magical outfit.

He also felt that the current advancement of magical girls lacked a sense of ritual and symbolism.

The change in clothing is indeed a great feature.

We can promote it to the Qingyun Sect when we get back.

Lu Ya, who was standing next to her, got a little tired as she talked, so Jiang Si looked at the small river outside and suggested, "I want to go for a walk."

"Are we going out again?"

The girl looked at him with her dark eyes and said softly, "Can we not go out? Is there something I've done wrong?"

"I just wanted to go out for a walk."

"……Um."

In fact, Lu Ya was indeed very obedient to him.

Lu Ya found him a wheelchair and pushed him out of the bedroom.

This estate is truly enormous; just stepping out of that ridiculously large villa made Jiang Si feel a little dizzy.

When he was pushed into the yard, he immediately lost his way because the garden, plants, trees, pavilions and other messy things in the yard quickly confused his sense of direction.

"Although you stabbed someone to death before, when the police came later, they also saw you commit suicide in the toilet."

With a flat tone, Lu Ya recounted what had happened earlier in a low voice.
"Later, she was even diagnosed as dead, so don't worry about the police coming after you. It was originally ruled as self-defense, but your family had some troubles, but I was helping them..."

Jiang Si remained noncommittal. When Lu Ya pushed the wheelchair through the garden, he finally saw the river.

Then, I felt it.

The river was making a rushing sound.

He closed his eyes and listened more carefully to the tiny, faint sound.

It sounded like a swarm of insectoid monsters flying.

The sound here is too faint, and you can also feel that the realism of this area is too strong.

It's so serious that if you commit suicide here, you might actually die completely.

We should have figured it out by now.

It wasn't just a simple hallucination; after all, it was the mental remains of a magical girl in full bloom.

Jiang Si wasn't so naive as to think this thing was too simple.

It's not as simple as one side being true and the other being false.

Treat people with care and sincerity...

However, she and Xin Su were not the same. Xin Su was always confused, but Jiang Si was never confused.

"I want to go to the riverbank?"

"riverside?"

After pushing him for a while, Lu Ya stopped and asked, "Do you want to jump into the river and then swim out from the bank?"

Jiang Si nodded. "Mm."

“You can’t get out. There are railings on both sides of the river, and your leg is injured. You could easily drown if you jump in.”

"Makes sense."

"There are surveillance cameras and security guards in the courtyard, so it's basically impossible to sneak out."

"That's a bit troublesome."

The two chatted softly, as if they were talking about everyday matters like eating and drinking.

"I have to go."

Jiang Si finally said, "We've pretty much figured out what's going on."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it's just that time is running out."

Jiang Si stood up, and as he turned to knock Lu Ya unconscious, the girl unexpectedly reacted and immediately took a step back, avoiding his chop to the neck.

They really did practice a lot.

However, Jiang Si had no intention of holding back. After missing his first move, he kicked the wheelchair aside and threw another punch. Lu Ya raised her hand again to block the punch, and then stared at him blankly.

"Jiang Si..."

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Si had already raised his knee and pressed it against her soft lower abdomen.

As he curled up, he was struck hard on the back of the neck and immediately lost consciousness.

Jiang Si carried the unconscious Lu Ya and started walking towards the gate.

He had been searching for the gate the whole way, and once he found it, he didn't want to waste any more time with Lu Ya.

As they walked straight past, someone naturally stopped them. Jiang Si carried the unconscious Lu Ya and put the scissors in her throat.

The security guard was shouting and yelling, but Jiang Si just pushed the scissors towards Lu Ya's throat.

The group of people immediately and obediently opened the door.

After leaving the house, Jiang Si abandoned Lu Ya and started running wildly, heading straight outside.

As expected, people from the manor behind them caught up, and the sound of motorcycle engines could be faintly heard.

An urging voice echoed in his mind, constantly urging him to run.

Run! Jiang Si!
Run! Jiang Si!
--Shut up.

Jiang Si remained silent and plunged headlong into the layers of trees.

He ran through the woods and over the rocks, but the voices of his pursuers behind him were still lingering.

Even Lu Ya's men appeared in front of him, beckoning and trying to hold him back.

"catch him!"

"Don't let him get away..."

Someone was thrown into the air by the impact.

Jiang Si ran out of the mountains and forests.

The surrounding environment was bizarre and strange. He didn't know where the manor behind him was, but relying on his senses, he ran wildly and knew where he was going.

The whistles, sirens, shouts, and insults of the security guards followed closely behind, but Jiang Si paid no attention and just ran towards where he wanted to go.

He ran to the foot of a large mountain, the destination of his elementary school's spring outing. He kept running, crossing the city's main road.

Without stopping, he continued running towards the bustling city center.

He kept running and running until he could no longer hear Lu Ya's voice behind him.

It seemed his leg injury had disappeared, and his stamina had become unfathomable. He ran straight to the city center street in one breath.

Instead of using the sidewalk, he raced against vehicles directly on the main road.

The cars behind us were honking their horns like crazy!

He heard it; it was the roar of the calamity beast!
From the dark car behind him, the driver leaned out and yelled at him, "Where did this lunatic come from? Are you looking to die?! Do you think this main road is your living room?!"

Jiang Si raised her broken right foot and kicked the front of the car fiercely!
The entire vehicle shook violently, and even the car windows cracked!
The driver, who had been yelling and raging, was stunned. He immediately retreated back into his car, rolled up the windows, stepped on the gas, and tried to turn around and drive away.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

Jiang Si immediately gave chase. The voice of this one calamity beast was incredibly clear, and he had to follow it to find his way back.

Even with years of accumulated knowledge, it still took Jiang Si some time to understand it.

This is not just a simple illusion; as time goes by, everything here is gradually becoming real.

In other words, if he doesn't find a way back, this place might become his real world.

The other side is just fantasy.

If this is really just the power of a fully awakened magical girl, then it's a bit too exaggerated...

Even though the broken leg cracked again after being kicked, Jiang Si didn't care at all.

He can still run as long as he wants!
And it gets faster and faster as it runs!

He ran barefoot down the road, chasing after the fleeing vehicle. Passersby were stunned, and many took out their phones to take pictures.

Some people also hurriedly called the police.

"Hello, is this 110? There's a lunatic on Zhongshan Road, near the Zhongshan Road Trade Building. Yes, yes, hurry, he's chasing a car!"

Just as they were about to catch up, the car quickly turned into a side road.

Jiang Si sneered.

A cunning and calamity-inducing beast.

It was circling around, trying to avoid itself.

Clearly, this calamity beast was alone; no other calamity beasts could be heard roaring or panting nearby, only the very clear roar of that one calamity beast.

But Jiang Si didn't intend to kill it directly; instead, she wanted it to lead her to a place with more monsters.

Only by finding the weak points in both worlds can we return...

Even after entering the alley, Jiang Si did not slow down at all, constantly leaping over obstacles, even climbing onto walls and balconies, quickly jumping to catch up with the black car.

He ignored the insults and shouts around him.

When someone tried to pull him away, Jiang Si casually stabbed him to the ground.

The car quickly exited the alley and entered the main road, where the sounds gradually grew louder.

The loud rumbling sounds began to turn into the roars of the monstrous beasts. The black car stopped and turned to look at him.

It was like a provocation.

This calamity beast probably thought it was safe, so it blended into the horde of calamity beasts and couldn't find itself.

Jiang Si smiled slightly and climbed onto the roof of a flat-roofed house on the left side of the alley using both hands and feet.

"Hey! What are you doing! Get down!"

The old man below roared angrily, but Jiang Si didn't even look at him.

He suddenly jumped from the rooftop toward the black sedan!

The jump was met with screams and gasps from all around, given that the location was more than ten meters away.

The driver was also startled and quickly stepped on the gas to drive away, but it was too late.

The madman crashed onto the roof of the car!
The entire vehicle was crushed flat, and a sharp horn sounded on the road. A car behind it couldn't avoid it and crashed into it!
The impact of the calamity beast sent Jiang Si tumbling away, but he immediately got up and turned to look.

The calamity beast was on its last breath, but still had a life left.

He rushed over and pulled out the Seed of Lamentation. Because the Seed of Lamentation was a bit too big, he couldn't even hold it and could only drag it.

The driver, dragged from the shattered windshield, was covered in blood and struggled in terror, trying to kick Jiang Si away, yelling, "Let go! Let go! You're crazy! The police are coming soon!"

Active seeds of lamentation, though rare, do exist.

Jiang Si watched as another, even larger calamity beast charged over as if protecting its own offspring, and casually tossed aside the pesky Seed of Sorrow.

He charged head-on into the enormous, monstrous beast!
"Holy crap, am I dead?"

"Which mental hospital did he escape from?"

"How dare you collide head-on with a bus..."

Feeling a little dizzy, Jiang Si still stood up and looked at the calamity beast that she had bumped into, which was now frozen in place, too afraid to move again.

Then he heard more sounds of calamity beasts.

in the distance.

Excitement welled up inside me; the place where I could hear more of the monstrous beasts' cries was the weak point of this world.

This is also a place where I can escape from here!

He immediately abandoned the calamity beast in front of him and ran towards the place where the beast's roars were louder and clearer!
"He's running towards us!"

"Here he comes, he comes!"

"He's a madman! He's a real madman! Run! Are you out of your mind?!"

At the crossroads, the boy in the hospital gown stood in the middle of the road like a traffic light, with a constant stream of vehicles rushing past him, yet he could already vaguely see the raging beasts over there.

A cacophony of horn blared incessantly. A car braked sharply to avoid hitting him, but many vehicles behind it were unable to react in time and crashed into the car one after another.

Jiang Si turned around and looked at the horde of calamity beasts that were lining up and even breathing fire, and punched them!
Bang!
The bone in his wrist snapped, piercing his skin and leaving it stark white.

Jiang Si was also sent flying far away.

What a powerful monster!

I'm afraid I can't win with just my physical body.

So he fumbled around.

The Miracle Seed is gone; in fact, it mysteriously disappeared when the mind entered the remnants.

But it doesn't matter, he had expected this kind of accident.

There are also seeds of lamentation.

After removing the Seed of Sorrow, Jiang Si swayed as he got up, smiled despite being covered in blood, and touched his forehead.

The Blood Cross has disappeared for some reason, but it doesn't matter.

Just as he was about to place the Seed of Sorrow between his brows, a beautiful figure ran over.

He seized the seed of his lament.

Lu Ya looked at him with teary eyes, "Didn't I tell you? If you want to die, kill me first..."

Looking again, the Seed of Lamentation in my hand had somehow turned into scissors.

Lu Ya's right hand was pierced by the scissors, yet she still gripped them tightly, refusing to let go. "Come back with me, let's go back and heal properly, okay? Jiang Si, wake up..."

He grabbed Lu Ya's hand, trying to snatch back the Seed of Sorrow, and was about to kick Lu Ya away.

Police officers ran out of the vehicle and even drew their pistols.

"Police! Drop your weapons and put your hands up!"

The sounds of the monstrous beasts began to fade and weaken, soon to be replaced by the honking of vehicles.

Jiang Si immediately pulled out the Seed of Sorrow and was about to place it on his forehead when Lu Ya rushed over again and hugged him.

"do not want!"

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for making you like this. If I hadn't insisted on following you, you wouldn't have been hit by the car, and you wouldn't be like this now. It's all my fault..."

The chattering cries began to turn into the low growls of the calamity beast.

Jiang Si grabbed her neck, trying to suppress her grief.

"Release the hostages! Repeat: Release the hostages!"

Another woman ran out from behind the police, her face pale and even somewhat emaciated.

Her eyes were bloodshot and red. As she tried to run over, police officers rushed to grab her from behind, but the woman just pushed them away forcefully, saying, "He's my son, he's my son, he's not a bad person..."

Her voice was weak and desperate as she shouted towards Jiang Si amidst the police's struggle:

"Son, son...please stop making a fuss. It was my fault before. I shouldn't have talked to your dad about you. Come home. Whatever novel you want to read, I'll find it for you. Let Lu Ya go, okay?"

Jiang Siduo glanced at the other person.

She didn't look quite like I remembered her; she was too haggard and too thin.

She appeared to be ill. After a brief struggle with the police, she fell to the ground, kneeling and unable to get up. When the police tried to help her up, they pushed her away.

He knelt on the ground and moved forward, two streams of hot tears rolling down his cheeks:

"Lu Ya really likes you. She's been taking care of you for the past six months. Not only does she take care of you, but she also treats me and your dad like her own daughter. Don't let such a good girl down, son. How can I face her parents? I'm begging you, please let her go."

As he spoke, he lay on the ground and wailed loudly, muttering his childhood nickname.

Jiang Si glanced at Lu Ya, who was holding him tightly and gripping his right hand to prevent him from transforming, and then glanced at his mother kneeling on the ground.

The cries of the calamity beast were becoming increasingly inaudible.

So Jiang Si grabbed Lu Ya by the neck and lifted her up.

"Stop! We're going to open fire!"

The policeman roared, raised his gun, and shouted, his finger on the trigger.

Lu Ya held his hand without fear or struggle, simply gazing at him quietly, and reached out to wipe the blood from his face.

"Jiang Si..."

With a slight exertion, the girl lost her footing and fell softly to the ground.

His mother looked up at him, her eyes filled with despair and blankness, tears and saliva streaming down her face, as if she had lost her soul.

Jiang Si placed the seed of sorrow between her brows and looked at her mother.

"mom."

Sharp scissors pierced between the eyebrows, stirring up the brain matter.

Gunshots rang out one after another.

“I can tell the difference, I can tell the difference completely.”

 I'm kowtowing, bang bang bang, begging for monthly tickets!
