291 You Hurt My Hear (2/2)

Ye Qingxuan could not stop the sudden change—this *sshole still had a backup plan! But Ye Qingxuan did not care anymore. He threw down most of his medicine and bandages; he did not even have time to care for the fatally wounded Butcher. His nerves were on fire.

The Butcher waved his hand, motioning for Ye Qingxuan to leave. He tore apart his broken armor and expertly gave himself emergency first aid.

Ye Qingxuan had already sprinted out the door. The entire way, he could only see charred black ruins. The bodies of dark musicians and royal musicians were everywhere. Every room was covered in blood, looking menacing and sad.

No, no, no, no! Gritting his teeth, Ye Qingxuan’s expression darkened. He kicked down door after door, flipping through the bodies.

It’ll be okay if there’s no body. No news is good news. He comforted himself again and again but he could not push down the feeling of anger and failure. Crazed, he kicked aside all obstacles and sped up. God help you, Bench Guy, please be okay!

Boom! Ye Qingxuan kicked down the last door and found…it was a dead end. He had reached the end—the top of the Elizabeth Tower.

In the coldness and gales of the high elevation, cold moonlight illuminated the ghastly blood at the top of the tower. Corpses lay scattered around the sacrificial altar in the center. They had been fighting even to their death. He could find signs of suicide and the dark red stains of evaporated blood. They had…all died.

He was too late.

Ye Qingxuan lost all strength and practically collapsed.

”F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”

Naberius’ maniacal laughter sounded in his mind. Roaring, Ye Qingxuan flipped through the corpses, looking through the unfamiliar faces over and over again.

Finally, he stopped and froze.

”Bench Guy…”

Gavin lay in a pool of blood under two bodies. His chest was dyed red; his steel gray eyes were blank and reflected the moonlight.

Ye Qingxuan touched his neck. He could still feel some warmth. Gavin was still alive!

Overjoyed, Ye Qingxuan almost cheered. He pulled out all his medicine and began injecting them into Gavin’s veins.

”You have to live!” he muttered frantically. Drenched in sweat, he pressed onto Gavin’s chest again and again. He cast electricity with his hands to give the weak heart some strength.

Finally, Gavin’s blank eyes trembled. His body convulsed as he was shocked awake.

”Don’t come over!” As if finally breaking free from a nightmare, he stared at Ye Qingxuan in sheer terror and screamed, ”Don’t come over!”

”Bench Guy, it’s okay, it’s me!”

Ye Qingxuan grabbed his hand but then it loosened. The arm fell from Gavin’s sleeves. The blood on the wound was already dry. He gaped; Gavin’s right hand had been broken long ago.

”Ye…zi?” Gavin seemed to finally recognize Ye Qingxuan. Unrestrainable terror appeared in his eyes and he enveloped Ye Qingxuan. ”Natural catastrophe! Yezi, you gotta go! It’s the natural catastrophe! It’s here!”

Natural catastrophe? Ye Qingxuan froze but his expressions changed quickly. Then a crisp sound came from his arms.

Snick!

Ye Qingxuan stiffened. Looking down in confusion, he saw the dagger sticking out of his chest. Gavin was holding the handle with his unharmed right hand. The blade had been pushed through all the defenses and flesh. Now, he finally felt the cold pain of his heart being cut apart. It felt unrealistic.

”Bench Guy?” Ye Qingxuan looked up in confusion. ”What…are you doing?”

”Yezi, I told you not to come. Why didn’t you listen?” The fear and terror disappeared from Gavin’s face. His gray eyes recovered its coldness as he studied the youth. His voice was gentle and clear, elegant as always as he said, ”Mr. Holmes, you hurt my heart.”

Ye Qingxuan flinched. Finally understanding, he chuckled bitterly. ”It’s you…” When it dawned on him, he uttered, ”Robin.”
