Chapter 16 Tearing Off the Mask of Hypocrisy
Chapter 16 Tearing Off the Mask of Hypocrisy
The next day.
sunny.
A wrecked Titanic was speeding westward across China along the Yellow River, while a few dozen kilometers away from the Titanic...
Beneath the pitch-black mist, the tide stood silently and motionless, but this did not give Li Xue much of a sense of security.
Instead, she felt even more agitated. It was all thanks to Fuxi that she escaped from the jaws of death, and now Fuxi was unconscious.
Before long, when the darkness and the dark tide will return once more...
If nothing unexpected happens, she won't be able to enjoy this peaceful life for long.
"Fuxi, please don't let anything happen to you!" The Titanic's power was restored, and Li Xue heated water and used a damp cloth to wipe the bloodstains from Fuxi's face.
At this moment, Fu Xi's face was pale, she was motionless, and her body was extremely cold, as if she had been dead for several days.
"How could this be? Fuxi, you weren't this cold just now!" Li Xue touched Fuxi's icy hands and panicked. She quickly fetched hot water again.
Li Xue looked at the naked Fu Xi with a panicked expression, and hurriedly used the residual warmth of the wet towel to wipe Fu Xi's whole body to relieve the cold.
That should be better, right?
It was completely silent outside, except for the roar of the Titanic. Now she could relax and take care of Fuxi.
Li Xue tidied herself up briefly, and then reached out to feel Fu Xi's body temperature again. Sure enough, it was somewhat better.
However, it has only improved somewhat. If no measures are taken soon, Fuxi's temperature will likely drop.
At that time, not only will Fuxi lose her life, but Li Xue will also lose hers!
Hmm... this is for the sake of the bigger picture!
"I once saw a movie where the male and female leads were in Antarctica without any heating equipment, so they just hugged each other naked. This greatly improved their body temperature!"
A blush rose on Li Xue's face. She took off all her clothes and stood nervously by the bed, but in her heart she had already decided that Fu Xi was her destined husband!
"I was wrong before, Fuxi. I will spend the rest of my life proving to you that I, Li Xue, will love you for a lifetime, no! I will love you in the next life, and the life after that..."
"Even if you were a block of ice, I would melt you with my body!" Li Xuexue's white body burrowed into the quilt and hugged Fuxi tightly.
A warm, sweet sensation spread throughout my body; perhaps this is love!
……
In this dark and enclosed environment, he could tell that this was not the Titanic.
He remembered that he had just been on the Titanic, but now he was strangely in this godforsaken place.
Fu Xi stared blankly at everything before her, her teeth chattering.
It was pitch black; you couldn't see anything at all!
Where exactly is this?
"Why aren't you cold anymore?" Fu Xi was dressed very warmly, so even if she stood in temperatures tens of degrees below zero, she wouldn't get frostbite.
Before that, Fu Xi felt a strange chill, as if he were standing naked in the snow.
This coldness seems to be not physical, but rather spiritual!
"A scientist once conducted an experiment and said that when a person is about to freeze to death, they will feel their body warming up. Am I going to die?"
Fu Xi felt the warmth of his body; there was no surprise in his eyes, only worry!
"Damn it! I just escaped the tide, and now I'm going to freeze to death? No way, I have to get moving and find somewhere to get out of this awful place!"
Fu Xi refused to accept his fate. From Daying City to now, and even when he encountered the strange phenomenon at the Blue Light Power Station, all he did was try to survive!
He would never agree to give up so easily now that we've invested so much.
Everything in front of her was pitch black, seemingly a separate space. Fu Xi raised her hand, took a deep breath, and searched for the exit as if she were blindfolded and playing cat and mouse!
Tick.
Tick.
Fu Xi didn't know how long she had walked. The place in front of her seemed to have no end, and the only other sounds around her were the dripping of water.
The sound of dripping water?
"This kind of thing usually only happens in sewers and indoors... but the space here seems very large, so we can directly discharge the waste from indoors!"
Fu Xi opened his eyes wide, looking at the pitch blackness in front of him, trying to find clues, but he found nothing except the sound of dripping water.
It's still pitch black!
Could it be a sewer?
Fu Xi tentatively reached out to touch the left and right, but after walking hundreds of steps, there was no end in sight, as if the water droplet had appeared out of thin air.
"If it were a sewer, it would never be this wide! I remember it being only a few meters long, and it wasn't as flat as it is now!"
Fu Xi bent down and touched his feet. It was cold and damp, and he could feel that there was no protrusion at all.
"This means I'm not indoors or in the sewers at all!" Fu Xi was almost in despair; all she could see was pitch blackness and the sound of dripping water.
Wait... the sound of dripping water?
"Could it be that I've been analyzing it wrong all along? This has absolutely nothing to do with the indoor sewer system!" Fu Xi calmed down and searched for the location of the dripping sound.
"For water droplets to make a sound, they must be flowing from top to bottom. If it's flowing horizontally, it's impossible for them to make such a loud sound." Fu Xi seemed to have found a breakthrough.
He can now conclude that the dripping sound must be coming from above.
If that's the breakthrough point, it must be the initial location of the dripping sound.
"If I find the water droplet, I might be able to leave this godforsaken place!" After searching for a long time, Fu Xi finally found the location of the water droplet.
Fu Xi raised her hand to feel the water droplets, wanting to catch one to pinpoint the exact location.
After all, it's pitch black here, and no one can guarantee that there won't be any hidden dangers!
It's always better to be careful!
"Is this where the water droplet is?" Fu Xi reached out and caught a drop of something she didn't know.
It's viscous, cold, and has a faint smell of blood when you bring it close to your nose.
Bloody smell?
Fu Xi's pupils widened in shock. He took a step back, and blood dripped from his palm as he tensed up.
Tick tock!
Fu Xi can now be certain that this is the smell of blood. When he was killing the fish, it was so slippery that he would occasionally hurt himself and bleed a little.
He could never forget that taste, but the mysterious droplet that came out looked like blood and had an indescribable feeling.
It's so familiar to me, like the location of every organ in my own body; I could know it even with my eyes closed!
A dark and enclosed environment is most likely to amplify the unease in people's hearts!
"Wait, there's blood here, so isn't this a corpse?" Fu Xi's expression turned cold, her back already soaked.
He had watched many short videos of serial killers, some of whom would wait until the police cordoned off the scene in order to satisfy their urges.
He would find a secluded corner and watch his work leave with satisfaction!
I go!
Fu Xi became increasingly distraught as he thought about it. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly and turned to leave.
But just then, the golden stone hanging on his chest emitted a golden light and flew up strangely, illuminating the surroundings as well.
The thick darkness, as if encountering a nemesis, began to retreat into the distance, seemingly afraid of this thing.
This stone was obtained from the woman in black stockings, and Fuxi also knew that it could nourish her and block strange attacks.
As darkness dissipated, Fu Xi saw the scene before her: a colossal creature covered in strange totems, hovering in front of her like a giant.
Blood was continuously flowing from his chest; he was undoubtedly a corpse!
