Chapter 48 She too will die alone.
The man shoved her away: "So what if I took it? I'm just taking some money out for business, what's it to you?"
"You, you've spent it all?" The woman asked, stunned, as if struck by lightning.
"Just that little bit, definitely..."
"Snapped!"
Before the man could finish speaking, the woman slapped him hard across the face. The woman burst into tears, crying out, "You bastard! That's money I saved for Sui Sui's surgery, do you know that?!"
"You motherfucker, you dare hit me?"
The man, drunk, was instantly enraged and grabbed the woman by the hair, slapping her twice across the face: "You little brat, you should have died long ago! Only you, you idiot, wouldn't give up, and now I've lost my house and my job! You two jinxes, how dare you hit me?!"
Lin Sui swayed, one foot unconsciously moving forward, but then abruptly stopped in place.
Her pale lips were tightly pressed together, and a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, a glaring red.
She remained calm, then pinched herself hard.
Then, the scene shifts to lush greenery.
Amidst the endless, verdant mountains, a dilapidated little Taoist temple stands quietly, silently telling of its ancient and ancient history.
Lin Sui slowly pushed open the courtyard gate and walked step by step toward the recliner in the courtyard.
On the recliner, the disheveled old Taoist priest with a white beard was nearing the end of his life, so thin that he was just skin and bones.
His cloudy eyes fell listlessly on Lin Sui, and he forced a smile: "Girl, this old man's time is up, it has nothing to do with you, you know? You are my little lucky star."
Lin Sui slowly squatted down, gently resting her forehead on his leg, and responded with a soft "Mmm".
After that, everything seemed to be fast-forwarded.
Many images are blurry, with only a few scattered fragments clearly visible.
It was exactly the same person she had dreamed of: Tang Xi, Lu Xiang, Yu Cinian, Si Xingran, Li Ye… They all died before her eyes.
The Milky Way shifts and turns.
After an unknown amount of time, the image finally froze.
It was still the same dilapidated Taoist temple, but now she was the one lying on the recliner.
At this point, her breathing was weak, and her heart had already failed.
She looked up at the sky above her.
The world is so vast, yet it cannot accommodate the one she loves.
Her adoptive mother, Old Mo, and a group of her close friends...
And now, she too will die alone.
She was powerless to struggle, and her eyelids closed heavily as she was gradually swallowed by darkness.
The air was thick with the scent of death.
A cold, pale hand hovered above her heart.
"Hehehe, once you're dead, no one can stop me from becoming a demon."
A sharp, eerie laugh rang out, and Lin Sui slowly opened her eyes: "Is that so?"
The woman in the red dress, whose face was that of Xia Yaoyao, suddenly withdrew her hand, incredulous: "You, how is this possible? You weren't bewitched?"
“It was almost there.” Lin Sui nodded. “It’s a pity you made a small mistake. Even if they all died, I wouldn’t be alone. I still have my senior brother, and I still have… my master.”
But the woman replied firmly, "Impossible! I extracted your deepest memories!"
"In that memory, you didn't have any senior brothers, let alone any master!"
Lin Sui was suddenly taken aback.
Isn't the fate of the villains just like in the novel?
She only recently woke up from a dream and glimpsed a little bit of it. Even the illusion was just a fleeting moment, so how did it become the deepest memory in her heart?
Moreover, not only did she not have a senior brother in this part of her memory, but she didn't even have a master.
If the old man knew, he'd probably grab her sleeve and cry pitifully.
Lin Sui sensed something was wrong and frowned, asking, "What else did you see in my memory?"
"I……"
The woman seemed to want to say something, but then paused with a strange expression.
Looking at Lin Sui again, she asked in surprise and doubt, "Who exactly are you? Why can't I tell you?"
Lin Sui: "...I want to know too."
She originally planned to solve the last problem and then sit back and wait for the 20 million yuan bonus to arrive.
Even if it's divided among six people, she can still get more than three million!
Now, however, he was completely unsettled by a few words from the woman.
She unconsciously recalled that when she was ten years old, she woke up crying one day.
She couldn't explain why she cried, but from that moment on, she began to meticulously study metaphysics.
Previously, she only had some talent in this area, and she learned the Rebirth Mantra by glancing at the books in the Taoist temple, but she never thought of taking this path.
—She doesn't even know how long she has to live, so there's no need to waste her time.
That same year, with Lao Mo's help, she successfully became a disciple of a reclusive master.
The evil spirit, however, said she had no memory of it...
Did she have a fake master?
Lin Sui pondered whether he should use severe torture to force her to crack open her brain and take a look.
Seeing Lin Sui lost in thought, it was the perfect opportunity to strike. Xia Yaoyao's pale face contorted with rage and ferocity.
She formed her hands into claws, her long, sharp, scarlet fingernails aimed straight at Lin Sui's face.
A cold wind blew in my face.
Lin Sui didn't even blink, and helplessly waved her hand: "Can't you be a little more sensible? I'm thinking about something."
The long fingernail that was about to pierce her forehead was abruptly turned, and the woman's lunging spirit spun around and crashed to the ground with a thud.
Interrupted like this, Lin Sui lost her train of thought.
She glanced at the woman convulsing on the ground, thought for a moment, and handed her a red string.
Lin Sui: "Otherwise, you should tie yourself up. I don't want to do it myself."
Xia Yaoyao suddenly looked up.
Staring wide-eyed in disbelief: "Do you know you're still in my illusion?"
"Oh," Lin Sui said, "and then?"
Xia Yaoyao: "..."
“You know very well that you can’t beat me, because now is the most critical moment for your breakthrough, and also the time when you are at your weakest.”
Lin Sui calmly stated the facts: "That's why you went to great lengths to mobilize all the resources at hand to create multiple illusions for me. Your psychological tactics were quite ingenious."
Upon hearing this, the woman remained silent for a long time before bowing her head and getting up.
Even so, no one can stop me from taking my revenge!
The yin energy formed a hurricane, her long hair flew wildly, her red dress swayed, and her eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.
She screamed and turned to rush out.
Lin Sui shook his head, and the red rope slipped from his hand. He watched as the rope, which was only the length of a forearm, wrapped around the woman's arm and upper body, binding her completely.
"Let go! Let go of me—"
The woman roared in despair, "Why? Why did you have to meddle? I was so close, so close to getting my revenge! Why did you help that beast? Why?!"
Lin Sui didn't understand: "Who said I was helping him?"
The woman was stunned and speechless.
Her long hair, which had been dancing wildly in the cold wind, slowly fell down.
Lin Sui sighed: "Go out first, your daughter must be getting impatient."
As she spoke, she tugged at one end of the red rope, and the woman's soul floated up uncontrollably, blocking Lin Sui's path.
The two walked towards the courtyard gate, one after the other.
Lin Sui loosened his grip, and the woman broke through the courtyard gate first.
Lin Sui then slowly walked out through the hole she had bumped into.
Woman: "..." It feels like she's being used as a stepping stone for friction.
After the woman herself broke the illusion, what appeared before them was a small room with a shrine and strange statues.
Lin Sui thought she would be the first to emerge from the illusion, but to her surprise, Tang Xi and the others were already waiting there.
However, something seemed off about them.
