Chapter 124.2 (1/2)

Liu Jiayi finally took the item, Psyche’s Tears that Hearts gave her. She just used it more carefully because using it would obviously hurt Liu Huai. Although this type of damage seemed to narrow the distance between her and Liu Huai every time—it was exactly as Hearts had said.

Nevertheless, Liu Jiayi didn’t want to see Liu Huai’s pained appearance. Liu Jiayi had only seen the dead look on Liu Huai once and it was when he was forced to attack Mu Sicheng.

After Liu Huai came out of the game where he nearly killed Mu Sicheng, there was a type of nothingness in his eyes that made Liu Jiayi feel empty. She felt very strongly that a part of Liu Huai’s emotional world that just blossomed had been permanently torn apart by her suspicions.

Liu Huai would no longer have any friends. Liu Jiayi had destroyed any possibility of him having friends.

Since then, Liu Jiayi controlled the number of times she used this tool and she controlled her suspicion of Liu Huai. She hoped that she wouldn’t have to use this tool again one day.

Yet this time, this time—Liu Jiayi pressed her lips together and a visible struggle appeared on her face. Doubt and fear tormented her, just like the blindfolded Psyche. She wanted to know if Liu Huai waiting in the church was a god who would save her or a beast who put on human skin to tear her to pieces.

Hearts appeared and whispered in her ear with a smile. [Suspicion is your antidote. Jiayi, drink it.]

Her hands trembled as she held the teardrop glass bottle. The tears were cold pressed against her hands and it made her want to shake.

Liu Jiayi didn’t hesitate for a long time. She took a deep breath, wrapped her hands around the glass bottle and lowered her head so her jaw rested against her hand as she whispered, “I will use the tool.”

Her thin and weak back was arched and her lips rested on her thumbs. Her posture was reverent like a girl praying for God’s favor.

[System notification: Player Liu Jiayi had confirmed the use of the tool ‘Psyche’s Tears’. The tool is loading…]

The liquid in the bottle started to disappear. She couldn’t help closing her eyes as tears automatically slipped down from them—they were Psyche’s tears.

Once she opened her eyes again, Liu Jiayi had a strange sense of foreboding in her mind. She clicked on her system warehouse and followed her intuition to a vision item she was originally intending to keep until she ran away, Snake Night Vision.

[System notification: Player Liu Jiayi has used the tool ‘Snake Night Vision’. You can use thermal imaging technology to view the surrounding creatures. The usage period is 12 hours and it can only be used once.]

A layer covered Liu Jiayi’s eyes like contact lenses. A snake appeared in the dark part of the pupils and it was like the beauty contact lenses.

Using this tool, Liu Jiayi could see the church dozens of meters away. She was just about to go there but the moment she raised her eyes, it felt like a needle had pierced her eyes. Liu Jiayi stood there with her cold-blooded animal eyes wide open.

Several players were waiting for her but her brother said nothing about this situation.

The cold night wind blew on Liu Jiayi’s face. She felt that her breathing and expression were numb. Her originally hot mind was cooled down by the night wind and Liu Jiayi noticed many previous abnormalities.

Liu Jiayi slowly took out her phone and blinked her dark eyes. She held back the liquid about to spill from her eyes and called Liu Huai’s phone without any emotion on her face. Her frightened tone was completely different from her expression. “Brother, I’m almost at the church but it is too dark and I can’t see… can you come out and pick me up?”

There was a long silence. Then Liu Jiayi saw a person standing up crookedly after her call. This person had no arms and was being supported by someone. Liu Jiayi’s chest moved up and down fiercely. She couldn’t help wanting to run to the church immediately but she gritted her teeth to endure it, nails piercing her palms.

Liu Huai had no arms!!

Liu Jiayi stared at the thermal image that was holding Liu Huai. Bai Liu, this was definitely Bai Liu.

“Brother, are you coming out?” Liu Jiayi was agitated. She stood in front of the church and asked in a low voice.

The breathing sound from the other end of the line was faster before it slowed down again. “I am coming. Jiayi, where are you? I’m looking for you outside.”

Liu Jiayi reported her location. She said there were deformed children chasing her and cried for Liu Huai to come over quickly. Then she hung up the phone.

It was Bai Liu who helped Liu Huai hold the phone. After he put down the phone, Liu Huai turned to look at Bai Liu. Bai Liu thought about it. “Liu Jiayi guessed that something isn’t right about this church. Once she calmed down, she started to doubt you, Liu Huai.”

“I know.” Liu Huai lowered his head and looked at his missing arms. He slightly moved the stumps of his limbs and smiled bitterly. “I don’t know if she will trust me a bit when I come out and she sees me like this.”

Bai Liu didn’t reply to Liu Huai because he felt it was unlikely.
