Chapter 261: Infinite Flow: Saving the Deranged Beauty 20

Nanyu seemed to have lost his mind, his body darting extremely fast toward Zhoucheng, his blade flashing cold light, as if he would not stop until he saw blood.

What are you doing!

Zhoucheng's expression showed just the right amount of panic and tension; his moves looked like evasion, as if he knew he couldn't win, so he kept retreating.

In reality, he was constantly provoking his anger, handling everything with ease.

Jin Chen of course saw it; he wanted to break up their entanglement and also join the fight, but just then Zhoucheng seemed to notice what he intended, quickly turned his head, and his pupils suddenly turned black.

An unprecedented dark aura enveloped Jin Chen.

In an instant, his soul trembled, nearly being flung out of this body, let alone using Spiritual Power.

Jin Chen had no choice; no matter how urgent, he couldn't stop Nanyu now; he needed to merge with this body again.

Zhoucheng saw this strange sight, chuckled a few times, and relaxed his vigilance toward Jin Chen.

But Nanyu's violent emotions came even faster.

He seemed already trapped in his emotions, recklessly charging at Zhoucheng without regard for his life; even if such moves would leave him wounded too, he didn't care.

Finally, Zhoucheng's evasion left an opening that Nanyu found; the blade in his hand flexibly spun into a silver flower between his fingers, the tip resting on Zhoucheng's arm, then mercilessly slashed downward.

Blood spurted, flesh tore.

In a daze, Nanyu saw a field of blood, as if he had returned to that extremely dark period, even recalling it felt terrifying.

His body trembled uncontrollably, almost unable to hold the hilt.

Hatred, slaughter, fury...

Zhoucheng seemed unable to feel any pain in his arm, muttering with a smile, but the next instant his voice cut off.

A long sword pierced his heart.

Jin Chen walked out from behind him expressionless, showing no trace of the earlier pain.

I tricked you; I'm not that easy to kill.

He flung Zhoucheng's corpse aside without mercy, and the Spiritual Power sword vanished.

Jin Chen...

Nanyu saw the person opposite, tilted his head slightly as if recognizing him, but his lucidity lasted only a moment before he picked up the blade and thrust forward.

Baiyi, let's go out first.

Zhaoling watched Nanyu lose his reason; this room was already small, staying here would only be in the way.

She hurried forward, pulling the dazed Baiyi, and quickly walked out of the room.

He, they... what happened.

Baiyi obviously hadn't reacted yet: 'Why, why kill Zhoucheng?'

Zhoucheng is off; I'll show you a photo.

Zhaoling lowered his head, took out his phone from his pocket; the moment he opened it, his expression changed instantly.

——

Jin Chen simply didn't dare to strike hard at Nanyu; he could only advance by retreating, dodging his moves, and also feared that if Nanyu really went all out, the shock would injure himself.

【Host! The detoxifying potion previously given by Elder Bai Ze can dispel the dark power eroding Little Pitiful One's soul! I'm bringing it to you now!】

0731 had been watching the situation anxiously, then suddenly remembered this, hurriedly slapped his head and sent the potion over.

He distractedly caught the blue potion falling into his palm, but how to get Nanyu to drink it was another problem.

While thinking, Nanyu's short blade fell again, this time aimed straight at his heart; Jin Chen blocked with his elbow, then leveraged upward, gripping his wrist, then suddenly pulled, trapping him in his embrace.

A-Nan, look at me.

He cupped Nanyu's cheek with one hand, seeing his eyes vacant, feeling heartbroken, his low voice full of pity.

Nanyu was trapped by him, unable to resist, his thoughts drifting back to the past; looking at this strange man before him, he inexplicably leaned in suddenly.

Hiss...

Jin Chen lowered his gaze at the wife who inexplicably bit his shoulder, raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't struggle, and tilted his head back to pour the potion into his mouth.

Afterwards, their positions shifted sharply; Nanyu was pressed against the wall by him, the hand holding the knife lifted and restrained, the other hand pinched his chin, sealing his lips with a kiss.

Nanyu widened his phoenix eyes, seemingly not expecting this to happen.

Perhaps the emotional impact was too great; his gaze cleared a bit, subconsciously not resisting the kiss that made his whole body tingle.

After pouring the potion in, Jin Chen added a soothing, gentle suck and lick for a while, until he felt Nanyu's aggressiveness fading, then he withdrew his lips and sat up.

A-Nan? he called softly.

After the potion went down, Nanyu stood dazed for a long while; the fog clouding his mind dissipated, his consciousness gradually clearing.

But what followed was a feeling of weakness and chill throughout his body.

His phoenix eyes blinked lightly; the red mark under his eyes hid in the dim shadow, he felt dizzy, his whole heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar, cold spreading through his entire body.

Jin Chen...

Nanyu murmured softly, wanting to embrace him for warmth, but the next second lost consciousness and collapsed into his arms.

A-Nan!

Jin Chen startled, quickly held him properly, feeling his body temperature plummeting rapidly, astonishingly cold.

【0731! What's going on with the potion?】

【Side effect…… Human bodies cannot withstand spirit medicine containing divine power; forcibly extracting the dark power will cause a severe illness from which the body will recover on its own.】

0731 felt guilty; just now, in the emergency, it hadn't carefully read the attached instructions, covering its head with a dejected look.

Jin Chen sighed, and did not blame it.

He simply lifted the limp person in his arms and walked toward the room where they lived.

Just as the door closed, a thick black aura suddenly burst from Zhoucheng's body, flying out of the house.

And this scene was exactly captured by 0731.

It scratched its head, then glanced at the Host who was still caring for the Little Pitiful One, thought it over, and still gave a reminder.

【Host, Zhoucheng's body underwent bone transformation, black qi drifted out, I've already been tracking it!】

Jin Chen responded, got up, went outside to fetch a basin of water, entered the house, wiped the incessant cold sweat off Ah Nan, and stayed by the bedside without leaving.

Nanyu's originally well-proportioned, slender limbs became pallid and weak; the delicate wrist joints of his hands and feet seemed easily breakable, and one could clearly see the fragile blood vessels beneath his fair skin.

Even in his coma, he looked extremely pained, brows tightly furrowed, lips pressed together with great effort.

He seemed to have fallen into another nightmare.

The voice of 0731 sounded again.

【Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a critical plot clue; the original plot for this segment is as follows:

In the real world outside the game, Nanyu was born into an extremely cruel and strict family; due to his innate cinnabar red mark, he could also see unclean things that ordinary people could not, and his intelligence surpassed that of ordinary people, so his family regarded him as an ominous being.

His parents despised him, his elders beat and scolded him, and after his younger brother was born as a 'normal person,' he suffered even more abuse.

At age ten, his family was targeted by the arch-enemy, who seized Nanyu as a hostage; unexpectedly, they abandoned him, leaving him to be chopped at the hand by a dagger in front of everyone, enduring severe punishment.

At age eleven, he harbored complete hatred toward his family, colluded with the arch-enemy inside and out, set fire to burn all his relatives to ashes, and beheaded the brother who had bullied him since childhood, letting the domesticated crows peck at the corpse.

At age fifteen, due to his extraordinary talent and extreme ruthlessness, the arch-enemy's organization took notice of him, enrolling him in special agent training; secretly, it was actually extracting his genes for inhumane experiments, attempting to remodel him.

At age eighteen, after hiding in the organization for three years, although he managed to escape, his spirit was also crushed, seeming mad and deranged, binding his heart as a prison.

At age twenty, because he was a special agent, his killing methods were extremely ruthless, attracting the attention of the higher-ups; he was sent to a mental asylum, and later chosen by the game, yet he could no longer return to reality.

Shen Yuan Meng Jing traps his obsession, and is also the tranquility he could never find in life; it is the illusion of the mental asylum.

Please, Host, open his Deep Abyss Heart Gate for him, only then can he break free of his cocoon and be reborn.
