Chapter 590 - 577: Consciousness Collapse!
No matter how terrified Feige was, he couldn’t change the current situation. They were trapped—trapped in a game with no good end, a game that was bound to drag their entire families into its deadly snare! From the moment he accepted Bao Qiudong’s job, this outcome was inevitable.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP—!
In front of the large screen, after untying Jiang Yino’s hands and feet, Little Black immediately scrambled toward the door in the corner. He just wanted to finish this so-called mission as quickly as possible and flee this godforsaken place! Panicking, he fumbled with the knob but couldn’t get the door open. With his usual short temper, Little Black kicked it with all his might!
BANG!
The dilapidated door flew open. Inside, Chang Yuanyi was tied to a chair. His head was bowed as he panted heavily, his expression completely hidden. Little Black dashed in and carried Chang Yuanyi out, chair and all.
"Boss, should I untie him?" Not daring to make the decision himself, Little Black looked up and asked Chen Tiansheng frantically.
Chen Tiansheng glanced at his watch. "Yes. It’s about time. Go ahead."
Little Black said nothing more and hurriedly began to undo the ropes on Chang Yuanyi. As Little Black worked, Chang Yuanyi’s breathing grew louder and more ragged. Once the ropes were off, Little Black finally glanced at the face hidden beneath Chang Yuanyi’s bowed head.
Chang Yuanyi’s eyes were bloodshot, glowing like a wild beast’s!
"Shit!" Startled by those blood-red eyes, Little Black nearly fell on his ass. Urged on by his desperate need to escape, he tore his eyes away from Chang Yuanyi and scrambled back toward the viewing stands.
"Boss, we did everything you asked! Can we go now?" Without waiting for Feige to speak, Little Black blurted out as soon as he reached his side.
"In such a hurry to be reincarnated? Fine, I’ll grant your wish!" Chen Tiansheng, who had never intended to let any of them live, gave a playful smirk. He didn’t give them a chance to respond. With a sudden lunge, his hands shot out, his fingers clawing for their throats!
"I—!"
Before either could finish their curse, Chen Tiansheng’s hands locked around their throats. A wave of suffocation instantly washed over them. Not letting them suffer long, Chen Tiansheng licked his lips and smiled as he applied just a little more force.
CRACK—!
Two distinct cracks echoed at once. His eyes bulging to their absolute limit, Feige died without making a sound. Yet his wide, unblinking eyes seemed to demand, *why?*
"Boss!" As Chen Tiansheng released his grip, the bodies of Little Black and Feige crumpled to the ground, their eyes wide open in death. Terrified, the long-haired man dropped to his knees and screamed.
Chen Tiansheng shook his head, a soft smile playing on his lips. "It’s better if you rejoin your friends." As he finished speaking, his hand spread wide, and he brought his palm down on the kneeling man’s head!
SLAP—!
"Argh—!" A grunt of pain, intertwined with the sound of the slap, escaped the long-haired man’s lips.
SPURT—!
The next moment, blood gushed from his nostrils like an open faucet, a sickening crimson torrent. While the rest of his body was unharmed, blood poured from him like a burst dam, a horrifying flood that seemed to drain his entire body by the time he collapsed.
After seeing Erzi die, Du Ruanqing and Ou Mingsi had now witnessed both Little Black and Feige die with their eyes open in horror. But most chilling of all was the ghastly torrent of blood that had poured from the long-haired man’s nose. As this macabre scene unfolded, the two women, who had been wailing uncontrollably, could no longer take it and fainted. I wish this was all just a dream, was their only thought before darkness took them. A dream that would disappear the moment we wake up!
"Tsk, tsk. They fainted? Well, so much for my audience. What a shame," Chen Tiansheng chuckled maliciously upon seeing them pass out. He made no move to wake them, however. The two women had never been part of his plan anyway.
"Now then! It’s time for the main event to begin!"
「In front of the big screen.」
Still sitting in the chair, Chang Yuanyi fought to hold on to his last shred of consciousness. He forced his head up and looked forward, and saw that Jiang Yino’s mind had completely shattered.
"Go... Go, now! Get out of here! Hurry!" Clinging to the last vestiges of his sanity, Chang Yuanyi hunched over and growled, his voice a hoarse, bestial rumble. It was useless. Even if Jiang Yino could hear him, she was in no state to escape.
"Go!" he roared again. "Go! Get out!"
His remaining reason was slipping away, bit by bit. Cold tears streamed from his fiery red eyes as he dug his fingers into his own thighs, still growling. How could he not understand Chen Tiansheng’s scheme by now? He knew what this meant. He knew what was coming. He couldn’t let himself think about it. Not for a second. He knew that if things went that far, it would be his own personal apocalypse. It would be the apocalypse for all of Jinling!
"Oh? A little more resilient than I expected," Chen Tiansheng mused playfully, his face alight with eager anticipation. "No matter. Let’s see how long you can hold out."
Half a minute passed, and Chang Yuanyi’s growls finally proved fruitless.
"AAARGH!!"
"AAAARGH!!!"
Suddenly, he threw his head back and screamed. His fingers curled into claws, digging fiercely into his own chest as the veins on the backs of his hands bulged grotesquely. He had lost control.
CLANG!
He lunged from the chair with such violence that it crashed to the floor behind him.
「Outside the old theater.」
At that exact moment, Qin Fan appeared, moving at a speed that a surveillance camera couldn’t capture even if slowed down frame by frame. When his Divine Sense swept over the scene inside, he went berserk.
Against the night sky, his eyes erupted with an uncontrollable, unbelievable golden light
