Chapter 192

When Tang Yi was little, he was very afraid of blood. The smell of blood was hard to stand, accompanied by a strong stench that made Tang Yi nauseous. Especially when Tang Yi saw his own mother being drained of blood in front of him by his father, he became even more afraid of blood.

Blood was his nightmare. He couldn't escape it. Only when reading could Tang Yi's heart obtain a moment of tranquility.

Tang Yi realized something was wrong with himself after accidentally reading a detective novel. He discovered that when looking at those cruel murder methods, he would uncontrollably replace the victim with the image of his father, and could predict what the success rate was, and which steps would lead to a decrease in the success rate.

In order to verify the success rate in his mind, Tang Yi planned a completely accidental homicide. Taking every factor into consideration, in the end the victim himself triggered the "accident" that led to his death.

Tang Yi succeeded.

That day, he watched his father fall in a pool of blood like his mother. The pungent bloody smell combined with the deep red color in front of him seemed to remind him that blood was a substance full of vitality, hidden in countless tiny blood vessels, running through every organ of the body, carrying human life.

This was also his life.

From that day onward, Tang Yi had always been looking for the meaning of his own life in other people's blood.

The accident he orchestrated made it so no one could find out who the murderer was.

He also fished out his mother from the formalin and cremated her, making her ashes into a diamond earring that he wore on his ear. This gave him the illusion that he was not alone.

But illusions were after all just illusions. Tang Yi grew weary of them.

Later he discovered that there was a place called Flightless Bird in this world. He spent a large sum of money to get himself sent there, treating the entire prison like his toy, feared by everyone yet still alone.

Until he met Shen Yue.

He was really happy.

Even if Shen Yue had ulterior motives it didn't matter. He just wanted someone to accompany him.

Did he regret killing Ma Sha?

He didn't regret it.

If Ma Sha didn't die, he wouldn't even get a moment of falsehood. Even if he could choose again, he would still kill Ma Sha without hesitation, keeping Shen Yue in his grasp. Could he go die?

Of course he could.

He should have died long ago.

So he answered, "Okay."

Tang Yi had killed many people in his life. He knew which deaths were the easiest, and also which deaths were the most painful.

After the body completely loses functionality, consciousness would still remain for a period of time.

Tang Yi enjoyed the mental pain, as if only this could make him forget the loneliness that came surging back.

Tang Yi thought back to that day, the white moonlight shining on Shen Yue's body. His heart started beating from the moment Shen Yue came for him. From then onward he had been chasing that touch of white.

Even if his white moon was covered by dark clouds, he would always remember the warmth when he was embraced back then.

What was Shen Yue to him?

Love?

It wasn't something so simple.

Shen Yue was his god.

She redeemed the remaining warmth in him.

And now, he would burn away his everything, all for that one person, only for that one person.

...

When Shen Yue received the news of Tang Yi's suicide, she was not surprised. She knew Tang Yi was someone who kept his word.

But even though she had mentally prepared, when it really came to this step, Shen Yue still felt a little sad.

Just a little bit of sadness.

Shen Yue didn't regret it. To deceive others you had to deceive yourself first. It was just a slight pain, far less than the previous time.

The location Tang Yi chose to commit suicide was outside Building 7, as if hinting at something.

After thinking about it, Shen Yue decided to still go take a look at Tang Yi's corpse, to see him off on his final journey.

The method of death Tang Yi chose was very simple and crude. Knowing that he could no longer freely enter Building 7, he triggered the security system. He was shot to death by the machine guns of the security system. The criteria for the security system to stop attacking had two points: one, the creature completely stopped all bodily functions; two, no abnormal personnel remained in the area.

By choosing this method of death, Tang Yi was destined to not leave behind a complete corpse.

This seemed to be his final act of revenge, using his own life as the cost to get back at Shen Yue for using him.

Originally there was a group of people surrounding Tang Yi's corpse. When they saw Shen Yue arrive, they quickly made way.

The way they looked at Shen Yue, there was fear, and also awe.

How powerful Tang Yi was, anyone who had spent some time in this prison knew. A person like him could absolutely not be killed by someone else. His perception for danger and his unrelenting counterattacks both made people feel fear.

The only one who could kill Tang Yi was Tang Yi himself.

It was precisely because of this that now Shen Yue had done this deed, it was enough to inspire fear.

To make Tang Yi commit suicide meant that Shen Yue was a monster on a level above Tang Yi.

Shen Yue stood quietly in front of Building 7. In front of her was Tang Yi's corpse, or rather, the chunks of flesh that remained of Tang Yi's body. Her face was expressionless.

When Si Chengyou arrived, what he saw was Shen Yue and a pile of meat staring at each other.

At some unknown point, the people around them had dispersed, leaving only Shen Yue standing there alone, not knowing what she was thinking or how long she had been standing.

Her white dress was pure and flawless, contrasting with the blood on the ground, as if they existed in two different worlds.

Si Chengyou frowned. Only now did he realize Shen Yue's condition was more severe than he had anticipated.

He did not fear Shen Yue like the other criminals. Instead he walked right up to Shen Yue and called her name.

"Shen Yue."

Hearing Si Chengyou's voice, Shen Yue raised her head. "You've come. Are you here for the reward?"

Shen Yue remembered the deal she had with Si Chengyou. Si Chengyou helped her accomplish her goal, and she would hand over the thing that should have gone to the final victor.

But Si Chengyou shook his head. He did not demand the reward like Shen Yue expected. He merely said, "I saw you standing here from over there and felt you shouldn't be left alone."

Shen Yue's malleability was too strong. He had misjudged Shen Yue's learning capability, exposing her too early to the filth of Building 8.

Shen Yue did not react much to these words, only coldly saying, "What do you want?"

Si Chengyou sighed, abandoning his appeasement policy and getting straight to the point. "You've already gotten what you wanted. Now you should pay me my reward. I'd like to change the payment terms, if that's alright with you?"

Shen Yue's expression did not change. It seemed nothing could impact her emotions right now. "What do you want?"

"I hope you can see the world through my eyes."
