Chapter 124.3 (1/2)

“Can she see us?” Mu Ke was surprised. “Didn’t Liu Huai say that Liu Jiayi really is blind? Normal actions are a problem for her.”

“It is a visualization item. Bai Liu (6) mentioned it to me before. Even so, she shouldn’t be able to see our hiding place so clearly in the night. It shouldn’t be a conventional item to restore vision.” Bai Liu’s tone was still very calm. “Then I can understand why she suddenly called out Liu Huai. She saw more than one person in the church.”

Mu Ke reacted quickly and looked at Bai Liu anxiously. “What should we do? She knows that Liu Huai was lying to her. How can we coax her to heal you?”

Bai Liu’s eyes narrowed. “I’m afraid it will be difficult. This Little Witch should want to kill me with poison more than using the antidote to save me.”

Liu Jiayi hugged Liu Huai like he was a doll. It was very possessive and controlling. Her eyes swept over the red patches that represented living people in the distance and finally fell on Liu Huai’s empty shoulder. She touched the place where Liu Huai’s arms were cut off and Liu Huai hissed in pain.

This sound made Liu Jiayi’s expression slightly distorted for a moment.

Liu Jiayi buried her head in Liu Huai’s shoulder and took a deep breath. She tried her best to suppress the uncontrollable emotions in her voice. “Brother, how did your arms turn out like this?”

“Brother was trying to save you.” Liu Huai comforted Liu Jiayi in a low voice as usual.

Liu Jiayi couldn’t see Liu Huai’s empty expression and Liu Huai couldn’t see Liu Jiayi’s struggling expression. They hugged each other so closely and their heartbeats became tense and quick due to the other person’s proximity. They kept near each other while saying words that pierced the layer of warmth that didn’t exist.

“Brother, you just wanted to ambush me in the church, right? Are you trying to draw my blood?” Liu Jiayi asked.

“Jiayi, are you Little Witch?” Liu Huai asked.

Liu Jiayi’s pupils shrank while Liu Huai fell into a strange silence. Liu Jiayi’s breathing was so rapid that it was like she was suffering from asthma. She stepped back several times like she had stepped on thorns and looked up at Liu Huai with disbelief.

Meanwhile, Liu Huai half-kneeled on the ground. He looked at Liu Jiayi with a sad silence as if he had accepted everything.

“Jiayi, when did you become a witch?”

Liu Huai’s voice was soft. “I underestimated you, Jiayi.”

Liu Jiayi shook her head frantically, tears slipping down from her eyes as she staggered back in horror. Liu Huai’s disappointed tone as he knelt in front of her almost made Liu Jiayi go crazy.

The current Liu Huai was like a wild animal that made her afraid, even though she had just snuggled up in Liu Huai’s arms to keep warm.

“You are indeed very powerful and excellent. I didn’t notice at all when you played me.” Liu Huai kept shaking his head while looking at Liu Jiayi like he was seeing through her. His tone was so light that he seemed to be talking to himself. “It would be good if you weren’t my sister.”

“It would be good if you were someone else’s sister.”

Liu Jiayi froze in place. The words she heard from Liu Huai made her ears ring and she became unsteady on her feet.

The night wind blew on Liu Huai’s face and he felt very cold. His eyes and expression were cold and desperate but in Liu Jiayi’s eyes, they were hot and red.

Then the red color gradually turned blue in Liu Jiayi’s eyes. It was a sign that Liu Huai’s temperature was slowly falling.

This meant that Liu Huai might be dying.

Liu Jiayi squeezed out a smile. She reached out to grab Liu Huai’s clothes but halfway through her action, her keen senses caused her to turn her head. “Who is over there? Come out!”

There were two looming red shadows walking in the distance while dragging a child’s red shadow. One of them was dragging something in his hands and there was the sound of knives rubbing against the cement ground.

Bai Liu followed Liu Jiayi’s gaze and his eyes narrowed. “It is Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang.”

“Why did they come to the church?” Mu Ke’s expression faintly collapsed. “We haven’t tricked Liu Jiayi to our side yet! If they come then we can’t resist at all! All of us have single digit points of health!”

“I originally expected to rely on the deterrence of Bai Liu (6) to prevent them from easily coming to the church. After all, there is a hidden side to counter their attacks.” Bai Liu stood behind the side door and watched the constantly approaching Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. “They really didn’t come to the church during the day. It should be for this reason. I just don’t know why they changed their minds.”

Bai Liu’s eyes were fixed on Miao Gaojiang’s face. Once Miao Gaojiang got closer, Bai Liu’s eyes narrowed. “Miao Gaojiang’s state isn’t right. He and Miao Feichi are far apart.”

The closer they got, the more he found that Miao Gaojiang’s state wasn’t right. It was past 9 o’clock and Miao Gaojiang’s physical strength had been restored. However, he was walking with the highest level of defense skill despite only Miao Feichi being around him. His eyes were also a bit scattered and trembling. He seemed to be afraid of his teammate who had been cooperating with him all this time, his only son Miao Feichi.

Bai Liu was very familiar with Miao Gaojiang’s state. It was because not long ago, Liu Huai also experienced this.

“The aftereffect of a sharp drop in mental value can make people immersed in their subconscious fear.” Bai Liu spoke with no emotion. “Liu Huai was controlled by this subconscious fear before. This aftereffect has only two outcomes—suicide or homicide.”
