Chapter 14 My Demise
"Hehe~ Haha~~ Hahaha—!!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Li Ai's mouth as she slowly lowered her head, letting out a soft laugh.
The laughter grew louder and louder, until it became manic: "You want to kill me for such a ridiculous reason?!"
"Yes, and we should try to make you die a horrible death, the more intense the hatred, the better."
Zhou Siyu shook her head helplessly and sighed, "This is what Brother Lin Fan repeatedly told me to do. Don't worry, I'll throw you down to feed the filthy beasts right away."
"you......"
"Damn it!!"
The first half of the sentence was delivered in a furious and rage-filled tone, but the second half was chillingly cold.
The girl's gray hair turned white in an instant, her red eyes turned gold, and she ignored the sealing effect of the bone-piercing nail. Her hands transformed into black claws and stabbed fiercely at Zhou Siyu's abdomen.
The attack was so close and sudden that Zhou Siyu was caught off guard and pierced by the sharp claws. She screamed and retreated to create distance. A hideous wound was torn open in her abdomen, and her internal organs were vaguely visible.
"How can you move? Ouch, that hurts!"
"You dare hurt me?! I won't let you die until I've torn you to pieces!!!"
Zhou Siyu was furious, clutching her bleeding abdomen and glaring venomously at 'Li Ai'.
The sharp claws pierced the acupoints, producing a series of ear-piercing friction sounds. Qi and blood condensed at the fingertips, forcibly destroying the surgical structure of the bone-penetrating nail.
One by one, the bone-piercing nails disintegrated, turning into specks of blue particles that disappeared without a trace.
White-haired Li Ai did not answer Zhou Siyu, but said calmly, "This is the only way out—you have no choice."
The real Li Ai floated in mid-air, observing her surroundings from a spirit's perspective, frowning as she watched Li Hui manipulate her body.
This feeling is very strange. If it were in a game, it would feel like someone else has logged into your account.
Watching my character act, speak, fight monsters, and level up on their own felt incredibly strange and wonderful.
Hearing his words, Li Ai's expression struggled, but finally hardened into resolve: "Yes, we—have no choice!"
She regained control of her body, and the confusion in her eyes vanished.
"What do you mean? Ugh... Pfft!" Zhou Siyu suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
She pulled back the tattered cloth covering her abdomen, revealing a belly covered in dark lines—the inky color spreading in all directions along the blood vessels, and a sharp pain, as if her flesh was being dissolved, emanated from within her body.
"What is this?! It hurts! It hurts so much, waaaaah! Ugh, Li Ai! I'm going to kill you!"
"You've got no chance. I will do as you wish—deliver you a thousand cuts!!"
The venomous claws lashed out, leaving countless wounds all over Zhou Siyu's body. The putrid poison made a sizzling sound as it touched her flesh, like being splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid. The pain caused her to convulse and she even lost control of her bladder on the spot.
Li Ai staggered back two steps, clutching her abdominal wound, and swayed a few times before barely managing to stand.
Those red eyes stared unblinkingly at Zhou Siyu, who was writhing in pain on the ground, and her tone was calm but resolute: "I know what you want to say."
"Ha~ We won't die. You will die in our place, and we will live on in your name."
A golden information box suddenly popped up in front of her:
[Body Tempering Level 5 - Zhou Siyu]
Lootable items:
[Technique]: Azure Shadow Blade Technique (Silver) | [Martial Arts]: Heart-Piercing Thorn (Bronze)
Qi and Blood Energy: 1730/2000 (Accelerates body tempering and repairs injuries)
Special loot items:
[Form]: 92% compatibility (plunder the opponent's form, reassemble and integrate it into oneself, and manifest as the form).
Note: There are two options for plundering the physical body: 1. Deep fusion, which can integrate the other party's bloodline and talents into yourself. Note: Deep fusion will change your own bloodline.
2. Skin removal only steals the shape and does not have blood vessels or supporting functions.
This is the price, this is demise, the demise of 'Li Ai', and the rebirth of 'Zhou Siyu'!
This is also the advanced gameplay that Li Hui mentioned – the plundering of physical remains!
"Rest in peace!!" Li Ai didn't hesitate, her red eyes filled with ferocity, and she slashed down heavily with her five fingers.
"Pfft—"
Her head hit the ground, rolled a few times, and came to rest in a corner. Zhou Siyu's eyes were still wide open, filled with resentment and bitterness.
"Plunder—the skin!" Li Ai shouted in a deep voice.
Gollum-
Dissolve, boil.
Crimson lightning shot out, and Zhou Siyu's corpse dissolved at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pool of viscous crimson liquid that clung to Li Ai's body as if it were alive, completely covering her body.
The crackling sound of displaced bones echoed, and her flesh was constantly reshaped and changed under the influence of the fluid. Waves of intense pain came, but they were also accompanied by a warm energy that repaired her injuries.
The intense pain, felt from all angles and from the inside out, far surpassed that of the previous Poison Claw Rat.
Li Ai gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with a frenzied hatred.
This is not suffering, it is rebirth! It is the capital for revenge!!
The filthy beast deep within the mine was thoroughly enraged by the thick stench of blood, letting out a frenzied roar that shook the rock walls, as if a royal birth had been celebrated with cannon fire.
The injuries were healing; the blocked meridians were tingling and painful; the flesh and blood were remodeling and reorganizing; Li Ai's height had shrunk from 174cm to 164cm.
As the bloodstains gradually faded, a quiet girl with short, princess-cut hair and black eyes slowly opened her eyes.
She raised her hand to touch her cheek, her eyes gleaming: "A way out... Ha."
Repairing injuries, tempering the body, seizing talents and physical form—the power of plunder is truly terrifying, even perfectly complementing the power of observation.
All of this... was brought about by the appearance of Silverheart.
What secrets does that mysterious crystal hold, and why is Li Hui born alongside it? Li Ai doesn't want to investigate these questions.
Regardless of anything else, she was willing to side with even a demon as long as it could be an aid on her path to revenge.
"This is?"
The golden patterns on her iris swirled, and invisible fragments of 'mirror' appeared before Li Ai's eyes...
[Fragments of Memory - Zhou Siyu]
A thought struck her, and she began to plunder the fragments.
The next moment, countless fragmented memories flooded her mind, and as an observer, it was as if she were watching a short film that was randomly edited and pieced together.
The contents are Zhou Siyu's life story, her memories, her resentment, and her anger.
"So that's how it is!" Li Ai was taken aback.
Behind Siyu's malicious intentions this week, there is actually a hidden story.
Suddenly, a noise came from afar, and someone was rapidly approaching.
"Xiaoyu, how did things go?" Zhou Siyuan's voice came.
He glanced at the pool of blood and the dagger on the ground, his eyes showing no emotion.
Seeing Zhou Siyuan arrive, Li Ai immediately composed herself, her face beaming with the same smile as Zhou Siyu's, her acting skills perfectly natural: "Don't worry, brother, everything's taken care of. The corpse has been thrown down to feed the filthy beasts, there won't be any flaws left."
The bloodstains on her body, the remnants on the dagger, and the pool of blood on the ground all testified to the occurrence of the "murder".
Zhou Siyuan nodded in satisfaction and waved, saying, "Okay, come with me. Go back to the car and wait there first."
Looking at Zhou Siyuan's retreating figure, Zhou Siyu's expression was complicated.
The only way to survive, ha~ is to abandon one's identity and fake one's death to live.
Only now did she fully understand the meaning of the blood-red words about surviving by any means necessary.
