Chapter 1490: Chapter 439: Fall (Part 3)
Zuo Jiangqin looked at herself with terror but immediately reached out to hold the baby in the bed, struggling and screaming as she continued to move toward the door,
"Somebody help... Somebody help!! There’s a madman here!!"
"Buzz..."
Strangely, no matter how she shouted, the outside of the hospital was completely separated from reality, as if no one was there to respond to her.
Because at this moment, the entire sky was dyed with an unreal ghostly green.
Countless toads, having emerged after the rain, jumped out from the bushes of Linmen, all eyes locked on the baby in her arms.
The ring finger has descended.
Everything, everything, was incredibly silent, as if the lines of the world had been separated, letting Zuo Jiangqin’s pleas for help fall on deaf ears.
"Ha... Ha..."
Knocked down, Bai Yi’s eyes widened, bloodshot, as she mechanically gripped a knife beside her, pointing it at Zuo Jiangqin in front of her,
"Why..."
"Thud!"
Hearing Bai Yi’s hollow voice behind her, Zuo Jiangqin was so scared she couldn’t move, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
She turned her trembling body to look at the approaching Bai Yi, tears streaming down her face as she shook her head repeatedly,
"No... no... I’m begging you..."
As she spoke, looking at the blade already overhead, she could only helplessly hold the crying child tightly, cradling it protectively in her arms.
Looking at Zuo Jiangqin protecting the child with her hands and body, begging her not to act, Bai Yi’s expression became increasingly shattered.
"Creak~"
At this moment, the door coincidentally opened, revealing Bai Letian standing outside with a pile of documents,
"Honey, you... Honey?!"
"Snap!"
Upon seeing the scene inside, Bai Letian’s previously smiling face turned pale as a sheet, unable to control the documents slipping from his hands.
"No! Stop!!"
Bai Yi, who had raised her knife, slightly froze, turning her head to see Bai Letian standing there with wide eyes, too afraid to move recklessly,
"Don’t hurt my wife and daughter, we can talk things over... okay? If you want money, or anything else, I will give it... if you want to kill me, just don’t harm them..."
Before them, Zuo Jiangqin was also in tears, gently covering the mouth of the crying child to prevent her crying from provoking the murderer in front, holding tight as she pleaded with Bai Yi,
"Don’t... don’t touch my child, I beg you..."
Bai Yi opened her mouth, tears welling more and more in her eyes, yet her expression became increasingly pained,
"Why..."
Her hand holding the knife began to tremble, scaring Bai Letian to his knees, his hands waving anxiously,
"Stop, stop, stop... Sister, you don’t know what she means to us... she was just born today! She’s still... so young... don’t do this...
"You’re still so young, think about your parents, they love you so much, they surely wouldn’t want to see you doing this... destroying yourself, would they?
"I’m begging you... don’t... don’t..."
But seeing the two in front, oblivious, desperately protecting the child, Bai Yi’s starry eyes widened, shaking like a sieve.
She clenched the knife, crying and shouting hysterically,
"Why on earth?!"
Her sudden hysterical scream echoed through the empty hospital.
Zuo Jiangqin and Bai Letian were both startled by her, not daring to move.
Alone, outside the room, a dense crowd of toads hopped and leapt up the steps.
On the wall, the clock pendulum swung back and forth, keeping time.
[Tick... tock...]
[Tick... tock...]
"Huh?"
In front, a young boy, listening to the inexplicable words of the young man in front, looked puzzled.
But at this moment, he was both puzzled and quietly backed away,
"Can you tell me why?"
"...There isn’t a why."
The young man, or rather Yan Huan, felt the piercing pain the moment he spoke his first words.
He took a deep breath, gently touched his neck...
Immediately, he felt the sticky blood...
Yet he had only said a single sentence.
Watching the blood, Yan Huan squinted, yet didn’t intend to stop,
"I know why you’re entering the competition, isn’t it just for money? You’ve got no intention of being a child star, so I’ll give..."
He knew that in the past, he participated in the child star competition for money, so he prepared plenty of cash.
"Click..."
But at this moment, just as Yan Huan reached for his money, he suddenly found it empty.
"!!"
The money inside mysteriously disappeared.
Just like the USB drive that flew by itself and plugged in at the convention.
World line correction...
And moreover, Yan Huan also found out that now, he couldn’t say anything, as if the whole world was stopping him from speaking.
Behind him, the staff’s voice continued to echo,
"Number 68, Yan Huan, are you there?"
"...Bro, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going first."
The young boy in front, hearing the call from ahead, blinked silently, heading towards the scene.
"..."
Yan Huan’s hand trembled slightly, and with the proliferation of scars, finally lifted up, grabbing onto the boy’s shoulder, speaking laboriously, word by word,
"I... will give you money later... however much you want, I’ll give...don’t go for the audition..."
"Drip... drip..."
The more he spoke, the more wounds under his clothes multiplied, forcing sweat to break out on his forehead.
But even so, he bit down hard and said everything.
"..."
To his surprise, the boy in front frowned upon hearing this.
