The fluttering lanterns had already been dyed bright red by the blood, as if they were coated with a layer of dark red rouge. Yuzhou City was in an uproar. The girls stumbled and screamed as they ran under the bridge while holding onto their skirts. The old archway stood in the silver moonlight, watching the farce with cold eyes.
”The assassin has already fled to the other side. Chang Ning Lane is relatively safe. ”Let's go there.” Han Yu's slender fingers pointed towards an old memorial archway in the distance. He had obviously done his homework for the feast of absolute bliss.
Luo Lingwei was not familiar with the terrain, so she did not say anything as she looked at Zhuang Zhiqiang. Compared to the unclear meaning behind Han Yu's words, the person who didn't reveal the slightest trace of hostility from the start was actually a very comforting person.
The young man didn't comment, but instead moved towards the direction that Han Yu had pointed.
Luo Lingwei followed the stream of people and followed the silent master. Her heart inexplicably recalled the play she had seen.
He saw him rise from the tall building, saw him feast his guests, saw his building collapse.
”So the feast of absolute bliss started like this? What exactly is the so-called Delightful Meet? ”
What was bliss? Blood? Slaughter? Or was it the pleasure of a hunter controlling the overall situation?
Han Yu smiled as he heard this. He raised his head to look at the sky, then turned his head to face the north.
”It seems like Miss Luo doesn't know about the feast of absolute bliss.”
Her face was covered by a white veil. Her eyes quietly gazed at the struggling crowd of assassins on the cruise liner. Her bright eyes reflected the fiery light. Luo Lingwei followed his gaze and blurted out a surprised exclamation.
She saw a servant girl at a banquet who was being submissive in front of her master holding a golden hairpin and stabbing Miss Dai Yu, dressed in gold, to death in the cold and desolate river water. On the other side of the boat, the singing lady on the boat was on a rampage. The singer was only wearing a thin veil that covered her entire body. She was holding the soft cloth that the manservant was supporting with his back.
When the maidservant pushed the young miss down, she was still carrying the Jade Bracelet that the main family had bestowed upon her.
”Feast of bliss... Is it all based on unbridled recklessness? ”
”Look, this is the so-called human heart.” The corner of Han Yu's mouth curved into a cold smile. ”Those people are sitting on top of the building and watching this farce.”
”This is also an extremely enjoyable banquet. There is no limits and no favors. Even the temperature is an illusion. ”
For those who believed in righteousness and light, this was an absurd purgatory, but for those who sought to stimulate the powers of those who ignored the law — this was their greatest pleasure.
Luo Lingwei did not understand. Why did the King's Game suddenly become so absurd?
Han Yu explained, ”Every year, there will be a new style for the feast of absolute bliss. I'm sure Miss Luo doesn't know everything about it.”
The feast of bliss is full of murderous intent, and a wrong man is a dead end. Rather than a banquet, it is a carnival of animals in human skins releasing their natural energies, a hell of blood, slaughter, and obscenity.
He casually ripped open the layer of green on the surface of his robe, revealing the redness concealed within. The red robe was completely different from the green robe from before. The bright and soft fabric was embroidered with golden threads and silver threads like a phoenix that was about to fly away. The phoenix's eyes were huge, bright pearl wings dotted with bits and pieces of bright jade.
It was as if he was born like this.
When Luo Lingwei saw him change into a new set of clothes, she felt uneasy in her heart.
”You … Right now, it's a mess. It's best to keep a low profile. ” Wasn't this a live target for others?
Han Yu raised his eyebrows as he saw her staring at his robe and burst into laughter. ”No need, because I'm the same as them to begin with.”
