Chapter 859: Chapter 859

Moreover, he had been to the Netherworld and brushed past many ghosts while looking for Gu Yao.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to ask who the other person was,

a streak of lightning flashed by at the perfect moment, its light filtering through the window glass, half-illuminating the dark room.

Gu Sheng recognized who it was immediately.

Gu Sheng called out instinctively, then sat up from the bed.

Gu Yao slowly lifted her head, her pale face marked by deathly stillness, her eyes vacant and lifeless.

Seeing Gu Yao gave Gu Sheng a fright, and unease began to bubble up within him.

Because he vaguely guessed what was happening, but dared not confirm it.

No, her soul fragment isn’t complete; she won’t remember.

Gu Sheng comforted himself, trying his best to stay calm.

Gu Sheng spoke again, this time his voice and tone noticeably different from before. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noᴠelfire.net

Gu Yao’s feet shifted slightly, numbly stepping forward a few small paces.

She seemed very tired, her entire body devoid of strength, taking tiny steps but still struggling to lift her feet, her soles scraping across the floor.

With each step, her form swayed slightly, expanding the puddle beneath her.

She walked about two meters before stopping.

The room remained dark, and Gu Sheng couldn’t see Gu Yao’s eyes, void of any light, clearly. Yet he could completely feel the emotions in her eyes at this moment.

The fear and panic in Gu Sheng’s heart grew stronger and more intense; at this moment, he couldn’t face Gu Yao and even felt the urge to escape.

This version of Gu Yao, it seemed he had seen before...

Gu Sheng recalled the scene back then, and his face turned pale.

"Yaoyao, what’s wrong? Did something happen..."

Before Gu Sheng could finish asking, he saw Gu Yao suddenly raising one hand at the doorway, the thing tightly gripped in her hand gleaming like firelight in the night, piercing into Gu Sheng’s eyes.

Gu Sheng’s eyes widened suddenly, pupils contracting intensely; no horrifying scene in the world compared to what was happening in front of him now.

Gu Sheng’s desperate, fearful shout echoed through the entire room.

The sound of the blade piercing flesh followed, the stabbing sound resonating as blood splattered, and Gu Sheng’s horrified eyes captured every detail of the scene.

This happened so suddenly, not giving Gu Sheng a chance to react or stop it.

Gu Sheng’s eyes widened; he seemed scared out of his wits, just watching as Gu Yao’s body slowly fell to the ground.

That was the sound of a body hitting the floor.

A small sound, yet in Gu Sheng’s ears, it was like a thunderbolt, shaking him to his soul’s core.

Gu Sheng looked at Gu Yao lying on the ground, as if the entire world had fallen silent.

Three seconds later, another ear-piercing scream reverberated through the room.

Gu Sheng frantically got out of bed, but due to being overly agitated and panicked coupled with the shock of the sudden sight, he clumsily fell onto the floor.

Almost the moment he hit the ground, he began crawling towards Gu Yao with both hands and feet.

At this moment, he was utterly wretched.

Gu Sheng crawled to Gu Yao’s side, reaching out only to feel sticky blood.

Her blood was warm, but her body, drenched by the rain, was cold, as was her heart.

Gu Sheng kneeled on the floor, cradling Gu Yao in his arms.

In the darkness, he couldn’t see the blood continuously flowing from Gu Yao’s body, but he could clearly smell the strong scent of blood.

"Yaoyao, Yaoyao." He held Gu Yao in his arms, terrified and at a loss of what to do.

"Someone, please, someone come."

Gu Sheng cried out helplessly.
