His tone was filled with a deep sense of loneliness and desolation, something Qin Ning had never heard before. Startled, she grabbed Bai Weiran's hand.
"Why? Why are you saying this? Explain what you mean."
"I'm not ignoring you, I just can't..." Bai Weiran was halfway through his sentence when the ground suddenly began to shake.
The surrounding crowd of viewers suddenly screamed in horror.
"……earthquake?"
"Oh my god! It's huge! Run, run! Aaaaaaahh ...
"Mommy! Mommy!!! Waaaaaah!!"
The cinema was on the top floor of the department store, and the shaking was extremely violent. Everyone rushed to run out, and many people even fell to the ground.
Bai Weiran's expression hardened, and he pulled Qin Ning along, rushing towards the exit.
"Let's get out of here first," he said.
On the way, he secretly snapped his fingers, and right in the aisle, a chandelier fell down right on them.
Bai Weiran made a gesture of raising his hand to slap the glass away, but did not use any ability. His arm was immediately cut by the broken glass, and it looked bloody and extremely terrible.
The girl screamed in fright, her heart pounding wildly.
Impossible. In her mind, Bai Weiran was a superhuman being. How could he be injured by a mere lamp?
The thought of him growing thinner and more haggard, and the tone of his voice filled with helplessness and resignation, all seemed like a farewell.
Completely disoriented, she cried and hugged Bai Weiran in the violently shaking movie theater.
"What's wrong with you?! Tell me, please tell me what's wrong with you?!"
Xx
Two more chapters gone, tsk tsk, getting ready to turn the tide and take off against the odds.
I already know what you're going to say.
Okay, I'll join in too, let's have some fun!
Chapter Thirty-Seven: He Begins His Performance
Bai Weiran began his performance, pressing his arm and giving a bitter laugh before slumping against the aisle.
"...Do you think I stay in other worlds for no reason?"
"Remember the story I told you a few days ago—the dragon slayer who eventually becomes the dragon himself?"
"To be honest with you... there have been traitors within our organization who turned other worlds upside down. Since then, our organization has had strict time rules, and we cannot stay in one world for too long."
"I went over time, this is just my punishment."
Qin Ning burst into tears, desperately pressing her hands against his wound. She felt the blood gushing out uncontrollably, staining her hands wet and bright red. Her pink lips turned white with fright, and she trembled uncontrollably.
"...Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me?!"
Bai Weiran sighed with regret.
"I didn't expect this either."
“My time was actually up a week after the ball. I wanted to find a chance to say goodbye to you, but then… uh, it hurts… you suddenly ran back to find Lin Luo. I couldn’t rest easy.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ning's tears flowed even faster, turning her into a little kitten.
She thought she was very smart, but she ended up hurting him. She was so stupid, so stupid, she was really so stupid.
"You should have told me! You could have told me sooner, you stupid masked man, do you really think I'm so untrustworthy?"
"What are you going to do now? Should we go to the hospital?" She hurriedly went around to Bai Weiran's uninjured left hand, wrapped Bai Weiran's hand around her neck, and desperately tried to lift Bai Weiran up with her slender body.
Bai Weiran gave a bitter smile.
"...Do I look like someone that can be cured by ordinary medical treatment?"
"It's okay, I just need to go back and rest for a bit..." he said, his voice gradually weakening.
"But...I'm not...at ease with you. It's too dangerous right now. I can't leave you here alone."
"I can do it!" Qin Ning said decisively.
"Go back quickly, go back right now."
"But……"
"No buts. I don't want to see you like this. Go back right now, and I can escape on my own!"
"..." Bai Weiran chuckled softly.
"Earthquake...don't take the elevator...take the stairs, understand?"
Qin Ning choked for a moment.
The young lady had never experienced an earthquake before, and she was indeed planning to take the elevator.
Bai Weiran reached out with difficulty to touch Qin Ning, but stopped in mid-air. This time he was not faking it, because the bloody wound made him break out in a cold sweat and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
The self-inflicted injury ruse is not something everyone can use.
"Go... hurry up..."
Qin Ning grasped his hand and pressed it to her forehead, like a devout believer praying to a statue of a god.
"You'll come back! You'll come back! Promise me, masked man, you won't die like this!?"
"Of course I will, don't worry... I'll come if you're in danger... You should leave now, I can't leave in peace if you don't." As he spoke, he glanced at the row of chandeliers above, which looked like a scene from a movie, all exploding and falling.
Bai Weiran, acting as if he were directing, shouted "Be careful!" and used his uninjured hand to protect Qin Ning. He then raised his injured hand and swung it, causing the falling lamps to fall in the opposite direction. Qin Ning saw out of the corner of her eye that the lamps only flew a short arc before crashing to the ground, suddenly losing control of them.
This is so different from the Bai Weiran she remembered.
She gripped Bai Weiran's hand tightly, then released it, letting reason guide her actions amidst intense heartache and panic.
"You promised me you would come back."
After saying that, she turned and ran toward the escape route.
Bai Weiran watched the girl's retreating figure, and then disappeared from the spot himself.
He did not leave, but instead floated invisibly at the very top of the tallest building.
"...It's numb from being squeezed, it really hurts... Holy crap, is that white stuff bone?!"
He held the red medicine in his uninjured left hand, bit off the cork with his teeth, and swallowed it down.
It tasted a bit like cider, sweet and hot. As soon as it entered his stomach, a warm current surged through his body. His right arm wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its original state, except for the bloodstains that flowed everywhere, which was a shocking sight.
"...Luckily, there was this good stuff in the newbie gift pack."
The app states that injuries sustained in other parallel worlds cannot heal naturally in this world because your body is currently in an abnormal biological state.
You can return to your own world with your injuries, and your normal biological functions will recover, allowing you to slowly heal yourself.
Another method is to use red water.
Divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, red water can immediately restore injuries after use. However, please note that red water can only be used in parallel worlds and is effective against abnormal biological states. It is ineffective when a biological state is restored. Red water is the best-selling and most expensive item in the price section.
The ability to heal the wounded and restore flesh to its original state is an expensive service in any world.
Bai Weiran himself was reluctant to part with it, and didn't have the points to buy it.
Fortunately, a new player gift pack was included.
After drinking it, one feels neither weak nor has blurred vision; it's just right.
Bai Weiran looked at the crowd scattering and fleeing at the bottom of the building, and checked the time on his phone.
Five, four, three, two, one!
He stretched his arms out horizontally and shook them. The building beneath him shook violently, like a drunkard. The crowd inside, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became even more panicked, screaming and pushing each other as they ran. In this life-or-death situation, no one could notice the other.
Qin Ning was like a helpless little fish, being tossed around in the crowd in the stairwell. The power supply was cut off, and the stairwell was plunged into darkness.
She struggled to walk down the path, her face covered in tears, while worrying about Bai Weiran.
It was supposed to be a happy first date, so why did it turn out like this?
She followed Bai Weiran's advice and took the stairs, but many people were also crowded there. She finally made it from the thirtieth floor to the twentieth floor, but unexpectedly, the shaking started again, this time even more violent than before, and it never stopped. The stairwell was filled with screams and shouts for help. Many people were pushing and shoving each other, unable to move forward at all. Everyone was stuck in the stairwell.
She was also very scared. She wanted to call for help, but she was afraid that if she shouted, Bai Weiran would actually come.
What if he dies because of this?
She couldn't stop crying whenever she thought about it.
In dangerous situations, someone will always go crazy.
A man shouted and took out a fire extinguisher from the fire equipment next to him, spraying it at the crowd.
"Damn it, we'll die together, stop yelling!"
The fire extinguishing powder was sprayed at people, and inhaling it caused them to cough. The narrow space offered no escape and made it difficult to breathe, so everyone fled in terror.
Qin Ning was pushed into the twentieth floor by the crowd, escaping the dust-filled stairwell. A group of people were coughing and crying uncontrollably on the floor, looking utterly disheveled. Before Qin Ning could finish coughing, she felt an unprecedentedly violent jolt. The ground gradually tilted from horizontal, and she uncontrollably slid down the tiled floor, crashing into one of the mall's floor-to-ceiling windows—
Xx
Two more updates today, let's go!!
(〃> dishes<)
Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Farewell Kiss That Will Never End
The twentieth floor houses a furniture store, and countless pieces of furniture were being hurled at the floor-to-ceiling windows. The reinforced glass couldn't withstand such impact, developing spiderweb-like cracks and visibly weakening under the weight. If the glass shattered after the fall, the person would be sent flying through the air—a fatal blow.
Many people screamed and desperately tried to run back or grab onto anything they could to stop falling.
Qin Ning grabbed a potted plant that was fixed to the ground. She looked down in alarm and found that the glass below her was being weighed down by several large sofas and cabinets. The glass was visibly deformed and in imminent danger of collapsing.
And so did she.
The small ornamental tree she was holding onto couldn't support a person's weight and gradually bent.
Qin Ning tried to struggle to climb up, but only worsened the breakage of the branch. With a crack, she let out a cry of pain and fell down. She landed on the large sofa, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Knowing this was not the time to relax, she groggily got up and tried to escape to the better-maintained glass next to her, but the glass beneath her feet suddenly shattered, and she lost her balance.
