This Damned Thirst for Survival

"Help, don't kill me, please don't kill me—"

"Ah, there is a ghost!"

Children cry helplessly in the sea of ​​fire.

"Father, mother, I'm afraid..."

"Boa!!!"

Cries of despair resounded everywhere in Bu Jiucheng.

Jiang Luo looked at it for a while, then moved his eyes to the bottom of his feet.

The young master of the Chi family ran out of the house staggeringly, staring up at them and chasing after them.

The cold wind was fierce, and Huo Xiaozi flew past Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo and Chi You, who was chasing after him on the ground, looked at each other, watching Chi You's handsome face gradually become ferocious, watching his dark eyes stained with crazy bloodshot.

Jiang Luo just watched quietly, staring at Chi You across the night that seemed not far away.

Chi You stretched out his hand, and the black mist spread from his body, rushing towards the sky quickly, but before reaching Jiang Luo, he had reached his limit, and he couldn't go any further.

The young man's arms were so tight that they trembled, he stared at Jiang Luo, and chased on the ground, stepping over stones, ruins, blood and corpses.

Jiang Luo was too far away from him, and he could only see Chi You's lips opening and closing, talking stubbornly all the time.

The wind did not carry his voice to Jiang Luo's side, but he understood Chi You's lips.

"do not leave……"

"stay."

The whole world was collapsing, and the mirror of the sky fell to Jiang Luo's side and then disappeared.Jiang Luo was hugged by the evil ghost, getting closer and closer to the broken black hole in the sky.

He was still looking at Chi You.

Memories flashed quickly in his mind, from the young man when he entered the bridal chamber, to the wonton stall, and then to the embarrassment of him being framed and cursed while standing among the crowd yesterday.

The anger and killing intent that had just arisen suddenly became complicated, and it was hard to tell what it was like.

The boy Chi You in Mingming Mirror is a fake existence, but Jiang Luo occasionally feels that he is too real.

He and the evil ghost were one person, and this feeling hit Jiang Luo's mind again and again.

It turned out that Chi You looked like this when he was a child.

Jiang Luo doesn't like letting others know what he looked like before and what happened to him.But Chi You saw his filth, and he also saw Chi You's filth, and they owed nothing to each other, so they could no longer care.

The hypocritical and vicious ghost in the book turned out to have this kind of character and appearance when he was a teenager he didn't know.

It seems that the evil spirits have come to life.

Chi You chased from Chi's house to the blood-stained street. Amidst ghosts wandering and humans fleeing in fear, his eyes followed Jiang Luo relentlessly. The two figures got farther and farther away from him. You's shoes were stained with dirt, and the hem of his clothes was even more wet with blood and scorched by the flames.

His eyes hurt, but he didn't move for a second.

How could this be?

How could Jiang Luo be leaving before he could find the reason for these inexplicable emotions in Jiang Luo?

The beam was devoured by the fire snake and hit Chi You heavily.

Chi You tripped over the beam and fell to his knees unexpectedly.

He raised his head in a daze, stubbornly looking at the figure in the air.

Who knows what is on the mind of a young man, he has never experienced wind and moon in his life, but he remembers the rush of spring rain.

In the boring days, there is a witty and bright person, who not only surprises Chi You, but also makes Chi You admire him, and he can't help but put his interest on him.I want to know what he's doing, and I want to know what he's thinking.

Who is Jiang Luo?Did he see Chi You's distress?Is his cheek warm to the touch?

In just a few days, Chi You seemed to come back to life.What does the air smell like, what do the flowers and plants smell like, the black, white and gray Chi Mansion becomes less unbearable.

But after he endured the severe pain of the curse, someone told him that he turned out to be a fake.

But Jiang Luo was real.

He will leave, while Chi You will stay in the mirror world forever.

Chi You thought he could keep him.

More and more houses collapsed, and hot sparks were flying around Chi You, he raised his head blankly, as if there was a vacancy in his heart.

Is his hatred for the Chi family also fake?

Is it true that he was beaten, bullied, and starved since he was a child?

The pain from the backlash of the ghost pattern, the pain caused by the curse, all his perceptions of this world, are they all fake?

Then why was this desolate and cold feeling so real when he faced Jiang Luo's departure?

Hearing the cries around him, Chi You turned his head to see that his father protected his wife and children and hid in a dead end, where he was brutally killed by a ghost and skinned off.

He used the lives of the whole city as a sacrifice, and he only wanted to keep one person, but he still failed.

Growing up, what he wanted to leave behind never seemed to work out.

Everything he does becomes a joke.

Chi You looked up at the sky again.

The flames were burning around him, but Chi You felt a little cold.He didn't know what the cause of these emotions was and what they represented, but he watched Jiang Luo get further and further away, but suddenly he couldn't control these emotions and became a little bit broken.

He clenched his fists, his nails cutting into the flesh.His eyes were dry and bloodshot, helplessness and unwillingness swept through the young man's heart.

--do not leave.

Jiang Luo was still looking at the people on the ground.

The evil spirit behind him was also watching, and neither of them made a sound.

Jiang Luo broke the silence and said to himself, "So you used to be like this."

The evil ghost lowered his eyes, and his side face was a little indifferent. He didn't say yes or no, but gave a meaningless response.

Jiang Luo didn't care either, since he was so far away, his eyes were still sharp, and he could almost see every expression of Chi You.

He saw Chi You's demeanor and movements inch by inch, and those obscure fluctuations of the young man, which he didn't understand, gave a dark and profound meaning.

Jiang Luo suddenly laughed.

His laughter was inexplicable, and his expression was a little weird, but his smile was dangerous and beautiful against the evil of the firelight. The evil ghost looked at him sideways, with probing eyes.

"It turns out to be like this, it turns out to be like this," Jiang Luo said to himself, saying something that the evil spirit didn't understand, "So it's like that."

The evil ghost said: "So what is it?"

Jiang Luo provoked a smile, and the smile became higher and higher.He obviously knew something that the evil spirit didn't know, and the evil spirit couldn't understand why.

"Help me take the four people who came in with me away, and I'll tell you what it is." Jiang Luo put away his smile and said cheerfully, "It shouldn't be difficult for you."

The evil ghost sighed and mocked: "So you are so kind."

"If all the people who accompany me up the mountain die, it will be very difficult for me," Jiang Luo said lightly, "Hurry up."

The evil spirit raised its hand, and several fainted people flew up from the ground.Lian Bing was the most miserable, half of his body was broken, and the others looked equally pitiful, all of them were at the critical moment of life and death.

Jiang Luo looked at them, and finally looked down at Chi You on the ground.

He said simply and neatly: "Let's go."

They flew towards the collapsed place in the sky, and the cries and despair gradually moved away from Jiang Luo's ears.But when he was about to leave the mirror world, a voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Luo's ear.

The voice couldn't tell the difference between male and female, age, as if it came from a dream, with a vague and mysterious atmosphere.

"This is what evil was like when it was born."

This voice said: "Even if the people in the city only speak out to protect him during the day, when it comes to his own selfish desires, he can mercilessly sacrifice the lives of the whole city to obtain his own goals."

"Even if the evil spirits retain their humanity, they will only create more crimes."

"Only when he dies, everything will calm down."

It was the person behind the scenes who dragged him into the mirror world.

The voice spoke slowly, calmly, but firmly.With a taste of truth and holiness, it seems that what "he" said is the most correct word in the world.

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes.

It turned out that what the people behind the scenes really wanted Jiang Luo to see was this scene.

The black-robed ghost is just a pawn placed on the surface by the other party. Together with the collapse of the world and the reaction of the young Chi You, the people behind the scenes calculated it together. He guessed what Chi You would do, and maybe even guessed that the evil ghost himself had sneaked into the mirror world.

——Or even Jiang Luo would let Chi You chase him, it was all within his plan.

Is the boy Chi You really just a false appearance?

Chi You is really like a real person. How can his every move, as well as his temper, be counted by the people behind the scenes?

How familiar he should be with Chi You.

Jiang Luo remained silent. He knew that the person behind the scenes hadn't finished speaking, so he was patiently waiting for the person behind the scenes to continue.The more the other party talks, the more information is revealed.

But the evil ghost stretched out its hand, and pulled it out of thin air beside Jiang Luo's ear.

Several filaments reflecting light appeared in his hands, and the eyes of the evil spirit were cold. He followed the filaments and said gloomyly, "How dare you play such a small trick in front of me?"

The thin wire looked as hard as a steel wire, the evil ghost's palm slowly clenched, and the thin wire burst from his palm.

The next moment, the evil ghost hugged Jiang Luo and rushed out of the mirror world.

When Jiang Luo opened his eyes, he felt a pain in his jaw, and the evil ghost pressed him against the head of the bed with a half-smile, "So what is it?"

The black-haired young man who fell into the restraint state just after waking up was very calm, he raised his eyebrows calmly, and glanced around from the corner of his eye.

This is the bedroom. It looks like he is still in the wooden house, but he doesn't know how many days he has slept in.I was just a little surprised that the floor inside the house was scorched black, the ruins were piled up in the corner, the cracked windows were chaotically nailed with wooden boards, and the skills of the craftsmen were extremely rubbish.The previously exquisite and beautiful villas have now become the appearance of a slum.

The evil ghost emphasized his tone, slightly displeased, "Jiang Luo."

Jiang Luo withdrew his eyes and placed them on him.

The evil ghost's handsome face is calm, and his oppressive aura is enough to make people shudder.

Jiang Luo, however, slowly evoked a strange smile, with endless undercurrents of danger.

He lay relaxed, didn't even care about the posture suppressed by the other party at this time, and said with a teasing and somewhat unclear tone: "Chi You, so you..."

The evil spirit looked at him gravely.

Jiang Luo's smile got bigger and bigger. He snorted twice, like a poisonous ghost, and deliberately lowered his voice: "So you fell in love with me."
