Chapter 272 - Fruit of a forbidden love (1/2)

FLASHBACK

Darkness and complete silence surrounded Gu Zhi. He had no idea where he was or how he got here even in the first place. Wait, he died.

The last thing he remembers is the bullet that Wang Lu put in his head but what was he doing here? Is this place hell? Or purgatory? Gu Zhi scanned the place but all that greeted him was darkness. He couldn't see anything. His mind was having a hard time comprehending the situation.

”Where the hell am I?” he crooked out but unfortunately no one was there to answer his question. He walked on for what seemed like miles through endless corridors but still there was no speck of light yet.

Gu Zhi stared at the darkness until he saw two red dots. At first, he was happy to finally see a different color apart from the dark until he realized that those red spots were a pair of eyes. He stood in a trance as the thing possessing the red eyes started to move towards him. All his life he has never been afraid of anything until now. The thing which Gu Zhi realize was some sort of creature possessed a bull-like horns coming out of its head. It was at least three feet long with its eyes blazing fire. It was the scariest thing he has ever seen. He just stood there, unable to do anything as the creature approached him.

Just as the creature was a foot away from him, he saw a someone wearing a black cloak appearing in between him and the creature. Gu Zhi has no idea what the person said to the creature but it let out a series of angry roar and disappeared.

The person in the black cloak turned around and faced Gu Zhi. He couldn't tell if it was a male or female but judging from her petite stature, he guessed it was a woman. Gu Zhi couldn't see her face. Except for a faint outline of her lips and white skin.

”Apologizes, my pet can be quite aggressive.”

Gu Zhi swallowed when he heard the woman's mellow voice. There was something in it that draws you in.

”W-Who are you?' Gu Zhi stammered as he stared at the figure in front of him.

She moved closer to him and stood tiptoed since Gu Zhi was taller than her and whispered in his ears.

”I'm your ticket back to life to finish what you started.” She run her lips across his cheeks then stepped back.

”What are you talking about? Also, if I'm dead. Is this hell? Are you the devil?”

The woman chuckled humorlessly,” Devil?” She asked emotionless

”Well….me and that despicable man aren't on best terms so no I'm not the devil.” A glint of light passed through her eyes quickly before Gu Zhi could decipher what he saw.

Gu Zhi took a large visible gulp of air as he cautiously looked at the woman in front of him. The woman smiled wickedly when she noticed the fear in his eyes.

”Don't be afraid human. I have a preposition for you.” Gu Zhi couldn't help but frown when he heard her.

”What preposition?” he spoke praying that his voice wouldn't give away any signs of weakness.

The corners of the woman lips lifted in amus.e.m.e.nt when she heard him.

”Well do you want to live again? Do you want to go back and make the people who drove your sister crazy to suffer? Think about it do you think with Wang Lu's influence he can't find the best doctors to cure the woman he loves? Then everything you did will be a lost cause.”

Gu Zhi knitted his brows together as his fears was soon replaced by confusion and uncertainty as he tried to comprehend and what she was saying.

First of all, how did she know about what he did to Feng Mei? And why was she offering him such a preposition?
