Chapter 127.2: Love Welfare Institute (2/2)

Mu Ke was slammed into the ground by the zombie. He knelt in a pale manner on the ground. The ground on which he was kneeling was smashed due to the intensity of the zombie’s hand.

The zombie’s downward pressure finally stopped. Mu Ke blinked slowly. After confirming that the zombie wasn’t moving, he muttered about his success in a low voice.

Then Mu Ke started bleeding from his mouth, eyes and nose.

Mu Ke let go of the daggers and slowly fell to the ground, vomiting blood while his dazed eyes stared at Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu who were protected by himself. Bai Liu was very familiar with this type of gaze.

It was like a child who had done a good job and his proud eyes were looking for his parents’ appreciation. The look on Mu Ke’s face was so soft and faint that it seemed it would disappear at any moment with the drooping eyelids. Even so, he was still happy.

It was because at this time, like Liu Huai and Mu Sicheng, he perfectly completed the offensive task assigned to him by Bai Liu.

“Well done, Mu Ke.” Bai Liu told Mu Ke.

Mu Ke’s mouth was full of blood but he smiled happily from the heart due to Bai Liu’s praise. The corners of his lips curved up proudly but his eyelids kept going down.

He spoke in a cautious tone, his voice weak. “…I seem to be dying. This time… I really tried my best. I made the best effort. Cough… I didn’t… disrupt your plan… right, Bai Liu?”

“I know, Mu Ke.” Bai Liu raised his eyes. “You did a great job. I will allow you to die this time.”

Mu Ke sighed with relief. He slowly exhaled, his mouth full of blood and blood foam. Mu Ke slowly released his grip on the tightly held daggers. It wasn’t known when the pattern on the daggers had changed from ‘blood’ to ‘heart’ because he had engraved this line of letters into his palm too tightly.

The lights on the daggers dimmed. They turned into data spots and disappeared.

[System notification: The health of player Mu Ke’s main identity line has reached zero and death is confirmed.]

Less than a second after confirming Mu Ke’s death, Bai Liu didn’t stop for a moment. He hugged Liu Jiayi and ran to the tunnel. Liu Jiayi was carried by Bai Liu on one side and there was a very strange and incomprehensible expression on her face.

She watched in dismay as the fire that rushed in front of her was extinguished on the ground. It was Mu Ke, the new player who was said to have inherited Liu Huai’s skills.

They were the same weapons and fire as her brother and he also fell to the ground again.

Liu Jiayi’s thin fingers slowly tightened and grasped Bai Liu’s shoulders, her eyes slowly filling with tears. “Why…”

She was just a little bitch that no one wanted. God gave birth to her in order to prove time and time again in her long, gray life that she was a bitch.

Her existence was meaningless. She just struggled in the mud, a small fish who didn’t know why she wanted to survive. She was in the pond that drowned her mother and sister and the only place to breathe was through the hand that Liu Huai held out to her.

Liu Jiayi didn’t deserve to be saved. No one should save her.

In order to protect Liu Jiayi, Mu Ke was lying silently on the ground. His eyes hadn’t closed yet. Bai Liu hugged her and ran toward the tunnel. She held Bai Liu’s shoulder and opened her eyes blankly. It felt like she was going to fly.

The passing of time was very strange. She was stunned as she stared at the monster zombie jumping toward her. He had relieved his stiffness and was jumping in mid-air. The ugly monster’s face slowly changed into a real face in her vision that could only see thermal images.

The drunken face of the man who gave birth to her appeared over the face of the zombie. He roared angrily at Liu Jiayi, “Little bitch! Who told you to be born!”

Then it turned into Liu Huai’s face as he cried and collapsed. “Jiayi, I didn’t mean it. This is the last time. One last time, okay?”

Bai Liu pressed Liu Jiayi’s face into his arms and the distorted faces moved away from her in an instant.

The thin Liu Jiayi shrank against his chest like a wild cat. She gently grasped Bai Liu’s collar. Bai Liu’s breathing was very rapid but his voice wasn’t anxious. “If you are asking why I want to save you—”

“It is because I made a deal. Someone sold me his soul and told me to take you out of here as long as I’m alive.”

“I’m still alive so I will save you,” Bai Liu declared.

Liu Jiayi opened her blind eyes, tears falling down and soaking Bai Liu’s clothes.

Two children who had never believed in God since they were young—at this moment, they stumbled and finally entered the safe zone protected by God.

TL: Just remember, Mu Ke isn’t dead. He will be able to live if his child self passes the task.
