Excessive ferocity due to caution

"That cowardly and useless man..."

"He came by, what happened?"

The two female ghosts suddenly abandoned their desire to kill Liao Hongqiao.

Compared to killing Liao Hongqiao with a flick of their fingers, they seemed to find it more interesting to toy with the couple.

Where is he?

Upon hearing the news about Zong Haisheng, Liao Hongqiao immediately became quite excited.

Yu Re rolled the whites of his dead-fish-like eyes, his tone dripping with sarcasm:

"That useless bastard, he can't even protect the woman he loves, he's a complete piece of trash!"

Liao Hongqiao was stunned.

"What...do you mean?"

Yu Re said with a sarcastic tone:

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"They say women in love lose their brains, and now it seems that's really true!"

Wake up!

"You have no idea what kind of beast you've fallen for!"

Liao Hongqiao frowned.

"Mr. Zong is no beast."

He laughed heartily, still feeling the residual heat.

The tone was heavily sarcastic:

"It seems you still don't know what he did..."

"What a pitiful woman, sold out without even knowing it!"

Liao Hongqiao:

"What did he do?"

The lingering warmth said faintly:

"He came here looking for you."

"My sister and I caught us."

"We were just curious, so we teased him a bit."

"We told him that we would let him go as long as he gave up on you and never saw you again."

"And guess what happened?"

Yu Re gave a cold laugh.

"That beast agreed without even thinking!"

"Turn around and run!"

Liao Hongqiao lowered his head.

"Mr. Zong isn't that kind of person; you're lying."

Seeing her so stubborn, the female ghost, still warm from her claws, gripped tightly, trying to twist Liao Hongqiao's head off.

But she managed to hold back.

She wanted to hurt her with even more ruthless methods.

"Yeah?"

The lingering warmth was replaced by a cold tone.

"Then you can go and see for yourself!"

"I forgot to tell you, he shouldn't have gone far yet. Look around the area; you might find him."

"See if he hides from you like a turtle!"

"Look at this useless, spineless man, doesn't he feel guilty at all!"

After saying that, Yu Re waved goodbye.

The lingering heat blocking the path to the door automatically moved aside.

Seeing that the two female ghosts did not stop him, Liao Hongqiao hurriedly left the cave.

It was raining heavily outside, and although she was wearing a raincoat, many parts of her body were still wet.

A gust of wind blew, and I felt cold.

She shuddered and groped her way in the dark, searching for Zong Haisheng's whereabouts.

In the distance, on a dark mountaintop, a human and a ghost stood silently.

"I'm curious about something."

The dried corpse slowly opened its mouth.

Zhao Yi asked:

"What is it?"

The dried corpse gazed at the dark cave in the distance.

That is the burial place of the two sisters, Yu Re Yu Wen.

"You didn't explain anything to these two female ghosts, so how do you know what they're going to do?"

Zhao Yi shook his head.

"I don't know what they're going to do."

The dried corpse was stunned:

"you do not know?"

"How can you be sure things will turn out the way you expect?"

Zhao Yi leisurely exhaled a smoke ring.

"I don't have a definitive plan for what's going to happen."

"Tell me what the Yu Re and Yu Wen sisters looked like when they were alive, that will be enough."

The dried corpse stared at the man and woman stumbling through the forest with extreme curiosity.

"I can already foresee how things will develop."

"That young couple is so pitiful."

Although he said this, there was no sympathy in his tone.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

The slightest disturbance from the outside world can cause two people who claim to be deeply in love to become estranged; this is a weakness of human nature.

"Their world has no light!"

"You're going to lose."

The dried corpse spoke in a ferocious tone.

The two female ghost sisters played a pretty clever trick.

By exploiting Zong Haisheng's love for Liao Hongqiao, they blocked any possibility of communication between the two.

Until Liao Hongqiao began to suspect him.

The relationship between the two will then be completely broken.

The more you like someone, the more you'll hate them later!

Couples in this world are strangers on different paths. They come together because they are attracted to each other, but they are still strangers in essence and have no blood relation.

Trust is almost an insurmountable hurdle.

Moreover, the two are currently unable to communicate.

Whether it's Zhao Yi, the two female ghost sisters, or the dried corpse, they have all seen countless couples break up.

"...When in love, people are passionately devoted to each other, even willing to give their lives for one another, but breakups often happen over trivial matters in daily life..."

"Once the novelty wears off, destroying a couple's love is as easy as tearing up a piece of paper."

"You wanted to use romantic love to prove to me that there is light in people's hearts, but this time it seems... you're going to be disappointed."

"You will witness firsthand how a couple who are deeply in love can break up because of the slightest external disturbance that causes their trust to crumble."

I don't know if there's light in humanity, but the evil in humanity can certainly be displayed in its most extreme form!

"The dried corpse mocked."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"If you stand in the light, of course you will always see the shadow."

"If you are always in complete darkness, you will be able to capture even the faintest glimmer of light from a firefly."

The dried corpse said coldly:

"What's the use then?"

"People will die in the twilight."

"The light of fireflies is not enough to save them."

Zhao Yi did not directly refute the dry corpse, but simply said:

"If they break ties, I'll consider it a loss."

"You said that?"

"I said it."

The dried corpse sneered:

"good!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll let you lose clearly!"

"Just you wait!"

...

Although the Cursed Mountain was vast, under the dominance of the torrential night rain and the dried corpses, the group could only wander around in a small circle.

Soon after, Liao Hongqiao found Zong Haisheng.

When the two met, Zong Haisheng was like a frightened bird, and he turned and ran away!

Liao Hongqiao, of course, wouldn't let him have his way, and relentlessly pursued him!

The mud on the ground splashed all over their trouser legs.

But no one stopped.

"Mr. Zong!"

In the pouring rain, Liao Hongqiao's shouts were faint, almost drowned out by the sound of the rain.

But Zong Haisheng, who was running ahead, could still hear it.

He knew that sound all too well.

Because it is familiar, it evokes fear.

The ghost's words still echoed in my ears.

He dared not respond.

They could only keep their heads down and run forward, hoping to shake off Liao Hongqiao.

However, Liao Hongqiao, like a persistent leech, kept following Zong Haisheng, stubbornly calling his name.

"Please stop chasing me..."

Zong Haisheng clenched his fists, his face wet with rain, and his expression was pained.

Soon, in his panic, he arrived at the cliff edge where he had previously met Zhao Yi.

Looking down into the bottomless abyss, Zong Haisheng took a deep breath, his legs going weak.

He is afraid of heights.

"Mr. Zong, it seems you... have nowhere to run."

Liao Hongqiao arrived, panting, his hands supporting his knees.

She had a smile on her lips.

I tripped and fell on the road, so my legs were covered in mud.

Seeing Liao Hongqiao's disheveled appearance, Zong Haisheng turned to jump into the abyss, but then heard Liao Hongqiao behind him say:

"If you dare to jump, I'll jump with you."

P.S.: It's currently 38 degrees Celsius.

Goodnight, my darlings!
