Chapter 1650: Kill me...

Kill me...

At this moment, Chen Ling's mind went completely blank.

He just now... only spoke casually...

But...

"You... can hear the voices outside, right? You are awake." Chen Ling spoke with furrowed brows.

If it was like this... then didn't that mean he could clearly feel Lord of Hidden Clouds cutting open his skin every day, every drop of blood he swallowed, and every word spoken here...

He actually... knew everything??

Did Lord of Hidden Clouds know about this?

No...

With Lord of Hidden Clouds's personality, if he knew Chu Changqing's consciousness was awake, he definitely wouldn't have left him in this lonely ward. If he knew that the brother whose blood he drank every day could actually clearly feel this pain, he would probably collapse directly!

Chu Changqing controlled it very well. Even if he could perceive everything around him, he would definitely not reveal it in front of Lord of Hidden Clouds. Even if he was in more pain, he would wait until Lord of Hidden Clouds left before silently digesting it and shedding tears.

But facing Chen Ling... he didn't need to do this.

Chu Changqing shedding tears was originally a signal.

He was awake.

He knew what was happening outside.

He was in great pain...

If it was like this, then he definitely could perceive that Lord of Hidden Clouds hadn't come to drink his blood these past two days... He would naturally guess that Lord of Hidden Clouds had absolutely no intention of living on.

Chen Ling's mind raced. He immediately mobilized Thought Storm, attempting to enter Chu Changqing's world of consciousness...

But the vast majority of Chu Changqing's thoughts had already become as rigid and devoid of vitality as his body. Even Thought Storm couldn't enter, and could only barely hear a few sounds from his mind.

"What did you say? I can't hear clearly." Chen Ling furrowed his brows. He brought his ear close to Chu Changqing's side. Although he knew doing this wouldn't have any boosting effect on sounds produced by thoughts, he still did it subconsciously.

"Like this, you repeatedly recite the words you want to say the most right now in your heart... I will hear it."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ling closed his eyes, attentively listening to the voice in Chu Changqing's heart.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Slowly, that blurry and distant voice gradually became clear!

Chen Ling heard it clearly.

Chu Changqing's heart was beating suppressedly, and every cell in his body was recounting despair and pain... At the same time, a voice lingered in Chen Ling's mind:

[Kill me.]

[Reverse the Era, Reboot the World.]

Chen Ling froze.

He blankly looked at that withered figure whose face was covered in tear stains. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

The Chu Changqing of this world loathed Chen Ling to the extreme, and also didn't have the slightest good impression of the Dusk Society... But now, he actively said those words.

No one knew what exactly he had witnessed during this period of time, and what kind of pain he had endured in his heart. But undoubtedly, he was already completely in despair towards this era.

"I know."

Chen Ling took a deep breath, and slowly pulled the Bone-Stripping Knife out from the sleeve of his Theatrical Robe.

"Although the you all of this world were not personally led by me, you were also gathered together because of the previous generation Nameless Actor... Along this journey, I believe you all have already done your utmost."

"Everything started because of the Nameless Actor, and it should also be ended by the Nameless Actor..."

"Let's... fight side by side again in the next world."

As his voice fell,

Chen Ling's Bone-Stripping Knife sank deeply into Chu Changqing's heart!

...

Splash—

Fresh blood mixed with rainwater splashed on the turbid street.

Figures stepped through puddles, flashing past the curtain of rain. Shining blades pierced into the blood-colored shirt... and then, fresh blood flowed down once again.

"I'll kill you... I'm going to kill you!!"

"..."

"If it wasn't because of you, how would we have been reduced to this state?!"

"..."

"Why don't you fight back... you fight back!!"

"..."

Noisy sounds echoed in the rain. Figures were screaming madly. Holding Kitchen Knives, iron rods, or other weapons in their hands, they continuously left scars on that blood-colored shirt...

Very quickly, Lord of Hidden Clouds had already become a bloody mess.

But Lord of Hidden Clouds still didn't move. He just stood there quietly like a sculpture, letting his tie be cut open by Kitchen Knives, letting his shirt be chopped to pieces, and severe pain spread all over his body... Yet he only pressed one hand against the hideous wriggling blood vessels on his chest, remaining silent.

Suddenly, a heart-piercing pain came out again. The hideous blood vessels on his chest wriggled madly again. He abruptly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire person staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

"He's dying!!"

"Lord of Hidden Clouds is about to be killed by us!!"

"Good death! Let him be buried with my younger brothers and sisters!!"

"..."

More and more figures joined this bloody death by a thousand cuts. Seeing Lord of Hidden Clouds spit blood, they seemed even more excited. One by one, glaring with bloodshot eyes, they used all their current strength to hack their weapons at Lord of Hidden Clouds's back.

Lord of Hidden Clouds's consciousness began to gradually blur. Fatal wounds were hacked into his vitals one after another. The continuously flowing fresh blood made him close to unconsciousness... But he knew that he couldn't faint right now.

His five fingers dug deadly into his chest, his nails directly embedding into his flesh. He was using all his power to suppress the Calamity of Corruption inside his heart.

But he knew... he couldn't hold on for much longer.

These citizens couldn't instantly kill him at all. If they only made him unconscious, the Calamity of Corruption would instead take this opportunity to devour his body and break out of its shell... To kill the Calamity of Corruption, it had to be one blade strike that killed both of them at the same time!

Countless cold glints and malice fell towards Lord of Hidden Clouds's back. He tried to make himself stand up straight, but he didn't have any strength at all. He could only stoop, stumbling step by step, slowly moving forward...

"He wants to run!"

"Don't let him run!!"

"He..."

Before the citizens' voices fell, a terrifying Oppressive Aura instantly broke open the void, directly submerging everyone within it!

Endless Red Paper scattered in the rain, shaking everyone to the ground. At the same time, the power obscuring the Dragon-Strangling Warriors seemed to disappear. The crowd, who were just dizzy and disoriented, immediately found where Lord of Hidden Clouds's Aura was located and rushed over here like crazy!

However, in the next second, all of them froze in place.

The red clouds slowly dispersed in the rain,

Cinnabar-like earrings swayed silently. A figure draped in a Theatrical Robe had at some unknown time already stood in front of Lord of Hidden Clouds... The handle of the Bone-Stripping Knife still stained with fresh blood had already sunk deeply into Lord of Hidden Clouds's chest.

"Sorry... I'm late." A voice rang out in front of him.

Gurgling fresh blood continuously welled up from the corner of Lord of Hidden Clouds's mouth. He looked down at his pierced chest, and then stiffly raised his head, looking forward...

The moment he saw Chen Ling's face clearly, a relieved and freed smile slowly lifted from the corner of his mouth.
