137 A Very Silly Story (1/2)
Chapter 137: A Very Silly Story
Chen Lingcun sighed softly.
“Hisith’s goal was to make you kill me with your own hands, so even if you lacked the ability to kill me, he would definitely have created an illusion of you successfully killing me. In fact, he had planted a curse with a trigger. He could kill me at any time.”
“So, my death was destined. Furthermore, the reason for my death was because I was not being careful. If I had hidden properly and prevented Hisith from discovering my true identity, this would not have happened.”
“So Shi Xiaobai, you do not need to be too self-critical of yourself. What you should really do now is…live on!”
Chen Lingcun’s expression turned a bit more serious as he solemnly said, “Although I do not know why you would suddenly ask Hisith for his underwear, I guess…you still do not know that you have completely triggered Hisith’s peeve.”
“This matter might have been unintentional on your part, but you need to be aware of the seriousness of the situation.”
“For Hisith to design such a game, it clearly indicates his ‘attention’ for you. The more he pays attention to a toy, the more he wants to destroy it. Now, he has achieved his goals through this ‘game’. So, the next step he will do is most likely…kill you.”
“However, Hisith will only do so after you begin to blame yourself when he reveals the truth.”
Chen Lingcun took a deep breath and calmly analyzed, “Now, you are in Hisith’s ‘Underworld’. Trying to forcefully escape it is almost impossible. Maybe His Excellency One-Pun will be able to use ‘God’s Guardian’ to save you, but in the ‘Underworld’, it is very difficult for His Excellency One-Pun to guarantee your safety. So, your greatest chance of survival is to prevent Hisith from obtaining the satisfaction he desires!”
“Shi Xiaobai, you have to appear indifferent when Hisith tells you the truth…You can pretend like you have never heard of the name ‘Chen Lingcun’. You must make Hisith thinks that you were unmoved by the game he had designed.”
“Perhaps saying it this way is very laughable and tragic, but Shi Xiaobai, you have to maintain…your greatest value as a ‘toy’. By preventing Hisith from having the desire to kill you, that will maximize your chances…of living on.”
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he felt his heart aching. If he could say something, he would probably roar and say—stop speaking.
Chen Lingcun’s analysis was very accurate and very reasonable. He had used a tiny bit of information and his logical deduction to guess all that had happened, and even provided Shi Xiaobai the most reasonable way to live on.
However, he who was about to die was constantly worried about the safety of another person while leaving behind his final words. He was calmly analyzing the situation for someone else, and even calmly proposed the heartless request of pretending not to know him.
What sort of selflessness was this?
Why was he so selfless…to the person who had killed him?
Shi Xiaobai’s consciousness struggled once again. He desired greatly to say, stop speaking.
As least…stop being so considerate for him.
At this moment, Chen Lingcun suddenly said, “Shi Xiaobai, I’m already dead. No one can save me. But you can still live on. Furthermore…you must live on. For yourself, and for me.”
“There is a matter…I would like to request of you.”
“First of all, please listen to my story.”

At a particular corner in a noisy bar.
A handsome silver-haired youth and a voluptuous red-haired beauty were sitting across from each other. No matter where these two people were, they were supposed to attract the attention of everyone. They were clearly “prey” in a chaotic bar.
But from the beginning to the end, no one disturbed them. Occasionally, a person walking by would turn ashen after seeing the red-haired beauty and leave in a panic. When they saw the silver-haired youth, their eyes will glaze over before they turned around to leave.
The silver-haired youth was constantly pouring alcohol for himself and drinking it. He did not even look at the red-haired beauty in the eye.
As for the red-haired beauty, her eyes were focused on the silver-haired youth as though it would burn through him. The way she looked at him was one of unadulterated love between a man and woman.
“Are you trying to drink yourself silly?” The red-haired beauty suddenly said.
