Chapter 4: From Life to Death
Let's live first, whether it's an hour or a day. Isn't it just a cursed key?
Suddenly grabbing the half-cut key in his hand, Yang Qiu secretly encouraged himself, and with a horizontal heart, he immediately bit his index finger and dripped blood to the key.
"Click"
Seeing the blood gently fall on the key, Yang Qiu was suddenly surprised to find that half of the key was suddenly shocked, and the other half that had disappeared grew out of thin air, becoming crystal clear all over, dazzling like a night pearl, releasing an emerald green light.
"Boom!"
And at the moment when the green light covered the whole body of the key, suddenly there was a loud noise from above, and there was a collapse all around. Yang Qiu shook involuntarily, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a thinner black light appear in a pair of blood-red beams, like a death ray urging him, shooting towards him, too fast.
Finished!
Yang Qiu instantly realized that he couldn't dodge anymore, "You are an old immortal, you dare to lie to me! I won't let you go if I am a ghost!!" clenched his fists unwillingly, and finally began to regret how he was so stupid, and he would really be willing to believe the nonsense written on the letter.
The black light spread, and his hair was gradually melted into air by the black light, but just when Yang Qiu thought that the black light was about to melt his head, the key, which had been doing nothing, "buzzed" and trembled, as if he had sensed it, and the green light suddenly erupted and turned into a cover, which was very surprising.
"Bang!"
Then, the green light collided with the black light, and the two rays of light suddenly shook, and they collapsed at the same time. The green light on the bronze key disappeared as well, and it fell to the ground.
Yang Qiu picked up the key in shock, and his heart was immediately filled with deep doubts and surprises, but more excitement and gratitude.
"It really saved my life, it seems that the old immortal didn't lie to me. ā
Yang Qiu grinned, but before he could catch his breath, suddenly, a suffocating black light appeared again, condensed and formed at a faster speed, and rushed down with a "boom!"
"Damn! and !!"
Knowing that he had nowhere to hide, Yang Qiu quickly put the key in his hand and threw it wildly, hoping to be saved again.
"Good key, help key! Please, give me another light up. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!!, if you don't light up, I'm going to die! Hurry!!"
It's a pity, it's useless, I don't know if the key is deliberately making things difficult, or if there is really no way, as if he is dead, there is no reaction at all, and the anxious Yang Qiu's swear words came out again.
"I'm cĒo your grandfather's...... You're shining light on me...... Bright ......"
"Snort"
After a soft sound sounded in his ears, the black light finally pierced through his shoulder.
Yang Qiu grinned in pain, tears were about to fall, his heart was even more unwilling, but there was more despair in his eyes, he felt that he was afraid of dying.
However, just when he thought that the black light was spreading, trying to make the hole bigger until it completely spread throughout his body, a fleeting inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and he suddenly figured out one thing.
Wait!Blood!!Oh it's blood!!
Feeling that if he hesitated again, he would die immediately, Yang Qiu gritted his teeth, and without saying a word, he stabbed the key into the wound on his leg like a knife.
A strong stinging pain suddenly came, but there was a gleam of joy in his eyes, because he could clearly see that the key was finally responding.
But the familiar green light reappeared, but the key did not release the cover that could protect the person, but trembled slightly, suddenly became smaller, turned into the size of a fingernail, drilled into his thigh, and was no longer visible.
At this time, a louder bang above the head rumbled endlessly, and in the "boom", four black lights rushed down, filling the entire pit at once, and no other thing could be seen by the naked eye.
At the same time, there was a violent trembling sound. Yang Qiu looked around, and immediately found in horror that the walls in front and back of him had been loosened, and the mud and stone suddenly shattered, and two cold metal arms rushed out, grabbing at his chest and back respectively.
I don't want to die yet!!
Yang Qiu clenched his fists unwillingly, wanting to roar at the last moment of his life and reprimand the injustice of the sky, but suddenly, "Boom" found that a wall on the left had collapsed first, revealing a secret passage that was one person high. His eyes lit up suddenly, and he rolled sideways in ecstasy and burrowed into the passage.
"Sure enough, there is no endless road!"
Yang Qiu let out a sigh of relief, excitedly screamed and was about to leave the place of right and wrong along the passage, but subconsciously touched his chest, only to find that it was empty, and a panicked color suddenly appeared on his face, looking like he had lost his precious things, looking around anxiously, looking crazy for something.
"Why is it gone? I've kept it on my chest all the time. Where the hell did it go?"
It wasn't until his gaze returned to the place of death just now that a small clay figure the size of half a palm came into view, and a reassuring expression appeared on his face. But soon, a look of pain that could not be concealed appeared on his face, and Yang Qiu remembered the impending disaster there, and couldn't help but worry about the little clay figurine.
He was worried about what would happen if the little clay figure couldn't withstand the attack of the black light and disappeared in front of his eyes forever. Even if the curse is lifted, what is the meaning of his life? I am even more worried that after losing the little clay figurine, I may forget the good agreement I made when I was in the orphanage, and the smiling face that made me worry about my stomach, never gave up silently supporting myself, and cheered for myself in the face of adversity.
"Brother Loach, you have to work hard! you must remember to marry me as your bride when you grow up!"
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Qiu bit his lip, immediately smiled with relief, and jumped back into the deep pit again, this time, he no longer cared about anything else.
Along the way, sharp nails broke through the ground and pierced the foot. On both sides, sharp metal arms shuttled back and forth, cutting the already not too strong arms into flesh and blood, and it was a blur. The black light that rushed from above the pit was even more terrifying, and before it could get closer, it had already released a terrifying heat, setting the clothes and hair on fire.
Yang Qiu's whole body was covered in smoke all of a sudden, and he became like a burning man, tormented by threats from all directions, but there was always a place in the palm of his hand that was intact and safe. Gradually, as time passed, Yang Qiu's body trembled more and more, and the breath in his body became weaker and weaker, but his hands were tightly hugged in front of his chest and never let go.
There, I could see an ugly-looking little clay figure who couldn't help but laugh at it, lying quietly, combing two cute pigtails, like a little girl who was grimacing at people.
