Chapter 55.3 Ultimate Departure (3)

Qiu Keke didn’t understand why these people would do such a thing, she merely wished to be able to go home safe and sound.

All the windows inside the car were completely shut.

Someone knocked on the door and she rolled down the windows, asking, “What’s going on? Has he returned?”

The system yelled, “Don’t open it!”

However, it was too late. In the next second, the door was opened from the outside as they hadn’t locked it at all. Ning Meng was far too weak to hold the door back and simply ended up falling down on the ground.

She yelled out, “Keke!”

Qiu Keke couldn’t even scream for help when she was knocked out cold.

Ning Meng also quickly found her vision turning dark, and she lost all consciousness.

This side of the forest was akin to a dark night, taking away one’s ability to see.

The system could only give her support at the side, saying, “He’s probably going to take you to a place. I can feel the yin air, you must quickly leave, otherwise, your body won’t be able to handle it and would simply crumble. By then, it would be too late for you to leave.”

Ning Meng grit her teeth. She naturally knew the consequences.

She did her best to try and sound her location, “Can you describe what’s around me? I want to stab him with this dagger.”

With the system’s help, Ning Meng grew a bit more confident.

Upon walking to an area with lesser trees, the light outside could finally be seen slightly. She abruptly took out the dagger under the system’s guidance and plunged into the back of the person.

The dagger entered the body swiftly thanks to its sharp end.

Ning Meng heaved a breath of relief. Fortunately, she did not make any mistakes.

This dagger wasn’t any ordinary object. However, the other party was a person who commonly dealt with yin air and dead air and he merely let out a groan.

In the darkness, she could feel him trying to take the dagger out.

She didn’t expect the man to resist so strongly and actually twist her hand behind her, the dagger falling down.

Ning Meng immediately fell to the ground, upon feeling a piercing pain on her back, she let out a cry.

“Little wh*re….(hiss).” He cursed darkly.

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant as if he hadn’t spoken for many years. It gave people a cold feeling. From her perspective on the ground, Ning Meng could see the cloak he was wearing.

It looked like a dark crow.

Ning Meng’s nose twitched, having smelled the scent of blood.

It looked like her attempt had at least succeeded. It wasn’t a waste of effort at all, having dealt him some damage.

He probably thought it was just some ordinary knife.

The man seemed to have taken out something to stop the blood and once again knocked her unconscious. This time, tying up her hands.

When Ning Meng was awakened by the system, she found herself in a room.

The whole room reeked of blood and there were even bloodstains on the ground which had already congealed and turned black, looking extremely repulsive.

But the man was nowhere to be found.

“It’s so cold..” Ning Meng furrowed her brows. She was unable to move because of the binds so the cold air continued to penetrate her body, “System, where am I?”

The system sighed, “The place where the light doesn’t touch.”

This place didn’t have any living air and everything was in a state of decay. The yin air was overwhelming, the sun rays were nowhere to be found and any signs of a living person were nil.

The system said, “The yin air had entered your body once again. Let’s just wait for your death here.”

Ning Meng’s teeth started to chatter from the cold again so she clenched them in order not to make any sounds and attract anyone’s attention.

However, she didn’t think that the man would promptly enter the room the next moment.

Ning Meng secretly cast him a look with half open eyes and saw that the man looked like a bag of bones. His eyes were deeply sunken and his skin was a strange color, behind him was complete darkness.

Even after looking for a long time, no light appeared.

Holding the knife in his hands, he slit her wrist, causing Ning Meng to almost cry out from pain. However, she bore the pain and didn’t make a sound, her whole back drenched in cold sweat.

She was afraid of pain and she hadn’t experienced any pain greater than what she felt at this moment.

Perhaps because the person was only focused on obtaining blood, he didn’t do anything else. His eyes were brimming with excitement as he licked his dry lips, appearing like a mad man.

After he left, Ning Meng’s wrist kept bleeding.

Ning Meng panted for breath. She was originally feeling very cold but the continuous flow of blood made her circumstances even more dire. She leaned against the wall, seeping in cold sweat.

She whispered, “Am I going to die soon?”

The system said, “Yes. your body is about to collapse. Do you want to leave now?”

The dark room remained silent for a while before Ning Meng said, “Can we wait for a while?”

She hadn’t prepared herself yet, not expecting to die today. She also hadn’t told Liang Fengmei the truth and also hadn’t seen him yet…

Was she going to die all alone here?

Why does it always feel a bit regretful?

Both Ning Meng and the system continued waiting, and during this period, the man came once more to retrieve another batch of fresh blood. By this time, her face had already started to turn pale.

Ning Meng’s consciousness started to slip so the system pressed her once again.

She didn’t know what she was thinking but she wanted to continue waiting, just a little while more.

Perhaps, something different would happen.

That person didn’t come again, leaving Ning Meng all alone in the room. Her body shivered ceaselessly while her hands that dropped to the ground were soaking in blood, the stench heavy.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before the door was forcibly opened.

A figure walked in but her sight was already starting to blur.

Ning Meng lowered her head, her long hair draped messily on her shoulder and her fringe soaked in cold sweat, stuck to her forehead.

Someone untied the ropes on her wrists and Ning Meng’s body turned limp, nearly falling to the ground head first.

She weakly tried to open her eyes, “Shi Qi…”

He had come but it was already too late.

Shi Qi caught her falling body, nestling her in his arms.

The coldness in her bones made her unable to stop shivering and though touching his warm body had given her slight comfort, she still felt cold.

Shi Qi cupped her face, “Where does it hurt?”

His subordinate didn’t stop moving, quickly bandaging the wound on her wrist and though some blood still leaked out, it had nearly come to a stop.

Shi Qi promptly heaved a breath of relief.

His whole person was completely tense.

Ning Meng almost couldn’t open her eyes. Laying in his arms with a quivering body, she whispered, “I feel co-…cold.”

It felt as if her whole body was completely bare, all the cold air poured in, rendering any heating source null.

Shi Qi’s brows scrunched tightly and he held her hand. The cold sensation took him by surprise, causing him to grasp it even more tightly.

Ning Meng tried to shake her head, “…It’s no use.”

It wouldn’t be of any use anymore.

This last bit of warmth was as good as nothing now that yin air had permeated her body, adding onto the bit of yin air that she had suffered previously.

Making her condition worse.

The system’s reminder rang out once again, “Ning Ning’s organs are about to start failing. If you don’t leave now, your soul would disappear. By then, everything would be too late.”

It had just reminded her of this awhile ago and if she didn’t go now, it would only spell doom for her.

She had originally planned it all out. She would put the dagger in the post office and write a letter to Liang Fengmei, having arranged everything.

But all those plans were destroyed tonight.

The sound of the wind and Shi Qi’s voice rang in Ning Meng’s ears.

She tried her best to blink, nearing Shi Qi’s ear and speaking with her last breath, “…Shi Qi, you have to….dagger in the forest…”

Her words were disjointed despite using a lot of strength.

Shi Qi could feel her body becoming increasingly cold and a restless feeling began to surge in his heart. After hearing her words, he followed closely, “I have to what?”

But no reply came.

The author has something to say:

Ning Meng: You didn’t expect me to freeze to death, didn’t you!

If there’s anything that leaves a deep impression on someone,

It’s naturally dying in their arms.
