Chapter Eighty-Three: Do You Dare to Bet
Li Zhen didn't sleep all night. But Kitagawa Qingming didn't know when he fell asleep. Li Zhenshou sat at her door, and when the rain stopped and the sky was bright, he suddenly got up and walked into the kitchen.
He took a bowl, picked up the kitchen knife again, and rested it on his wrist.
He wanted Kitagawa to drink blood. Drink more blood – maybe it will have an effect?
Then, after hesitating for a few seconds, he put it down again.
Because it's all just speculation – everything is just speculation. If it is really as Mr. Zhou said, it is because of a certain binding force in one's own body that those "cancer cells" constitute a healthy organism......
The more Kitagawa Harumi drinks, the faster he dies, right?!
But what if it works?
What if one is because he drank too little?
What if she drank too much and could pick up a life like herself?
He suddenly found that in front of life—
All possibilities pale in comparison.
Because you only live once...... There is no room for assumptions.
After that, he dropped the kitchen knife with a loud bang and leaned against the wall. He had no choice but to wait. Waiting to die or be reborn...... However, he was not the slightest sure about this.
But he suddenly heard the door open - Kitagawa Harumi's bedroom.
This was followed by footsteps. He glanced towards the doorway and sighed softly.
The sound was small, but the other party seemed to hear it. So the footsteps stopped slightly and continued to sound.
Haruaki Kitagawa appeared in front of him.
Li Zhen was silent for a while before daring to turn his head to look at her—his pale lips and bloodless face were all he could see. He resisted the guilt in his heart that was about to explode, and grinned reluctantly: "You...... How does it feel? ”
But the other party didn't say a word.
Li Zhen couldn't help but raise his eyes to look over. Suddenly, I noticed that she was a little different—even though she looked quite weak, the energy on her face, the intricate look......
"Are you awake?!" Li Zhen immediately straightened up and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.
But the other party broke free without a trace, and took a step back gently: "I'm awake." ”
Then he bit his lip and whispered, "Can you explain...... Did something happen last night? ”
Only then did Li Zhen notice her nose. There is also a bloody crust on the tip of the nose. Is it so fast? Did she have a nosebleed?
So he subconsciously said: "You...... It bleeds. ”
But the other party's reaction was beyond his expectations. Kitagawa Qingming, or the king of ice and wind, his lips trembled, and he didn't seem to know what to say, but he suddenly had no way to vent his resentment, and he held back for a long time before he whispered: "You...... You...... It's bleeding! What's wrong with the bleeding? Are you not satisfied?! Don't forget, it's not just her body, it's mine too! ”
Li Zhen was stunned by her sudden surge. I thought about it for a long time before I muttered, "What are you talking about?" ”
"There's blood on the bed." The other party stared at Li Zhen's eyes. Word by word, he said, "I see it!" ”
Li Zhen looked at her stunned for a long time. Then the numb mind cleared up a little and realized ......
The other party seems to have misunderstood something.
But at the moment he didn't have the slightest thought. There was no desire to laugh – not even the desire to be ashamed.
He smiled weakly: "It's you who got a nosebleed." ”
The Ice King subconsciously touched his nose. Only then did you feel the residual blood scab on it. Her expression became more complicated for a moment. Even the pale face was covered with blood. And the whites of the eyes are also plated with a layer of pale blue.
She was so emotional—almost out of control.
So she said with a weak heart: "Then why is my body sore......
The sound gets quieter and quieter after it reaches its worst. Because she also began to notice Li Zhen's expression.
After being together for such a while, it was the first time she had seen each other so ...... Guilt, helplessness, sadness, despair.
"What the hell is going on? What happened? Did you quarrel? She frowned slightly. However, his chest tightened, and he opened his mouth and coughed. A little blood splattered on Li Zhen's chest.
A look of surprise appeared in the Ice King's eyes. Li Zhen looked at her in a daze and said in a low voice, "You drank my blood." Right now...... Got into big trouble. ”
Five minutes later, the two men looked at each other speechless.
Facing the King of Ice and Wind, the guilt in Li Zhen's heart was slightly lightened. But my heart still hurts.
She pursed her lips and felt the pain in her body—the pain was tingling, just as Li Zhen said, countless cancer cells were growing rapidly, robbing her body of nutrients, destroying normal organs, and depleting her life force.
After a long time, Kitagawa Qingming suddenly gritted his teeth: "I'll drink." I'm going to take a gamble. ”
Li Zhen stared at her and didn't speak.
So she repeated again: "I drink." ”
But the other party suddenly closed his eyes. Then he opened his eyes violently and let out a loud shout: "Just like you said - it's not just your body!" Why are you making a decision for her?! ”
Beichuan was stunned by his roar and smacked. But she still stubbornly raised her head: "She is a second personality." I am who I am. ”
Li Zhen clenched his fists: "First personality, second personality...... Hehe. She also has her own emotions, her own memories, her own life – she's also a living person when you're away! She's not a computer backup or a plaything, she's a human, she's a human! ”
Beichuan weakly held on to the door frame, looked at Li Zhen directly for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You like her, don't you?" ”
Li Zhen snorted and strode out of the kitchen to sit on the sofa in the living room.
There was a pack of cigarettes in the lower drawer of the coffee table in front of the sofa, and Li Zhen smoked one and popped out the flame to light himself. However, his hands trembled so much that he clicked twice before he lit it.
Kitagawa Qingming stood alone on the door frame for a while, then turned around and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down opposite Li Zhen.
Li Zhen exhaled a breath of mist, and then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”
"I understand."
"I ...... Someone who has a girlfriend. I love her so much. Li Zhen licked his dry lips, lowered his head and said, "I just think that one is very innocent." ”
"It's pathetic."
"You are all my friends. You and I have been born and died, and I have known her even earlier. To say like...... I like her. But it's not the kind of liking you say, you understand? ”
"I understand. But I, too, am a victim – albeit at my own peril. At that time, you asked me if I wanted to drink it. ”
"I know it...... So I'm sorry. Li Zhen held his forehead.
The cigarette butts burned slowly, and a light mist shrouded them. The two of them were silent for a while, and Li Zhen raised his head: "It was you who wanted to drink blood, and I respected your decision at that time." But she ...... Yesterday she did not agree to the proposal. So, I hope to respect her again this time. It's your body...... I wasn't in a position to say that. But drinking and not drinking, not even the difference between dying or not dying - perhaps it seems to me that it is just the difference between dying slower and dying faster. ”
Kitagawa Qingming smiled bitterly: "You also know that there is a difference between faster and slower." Maybe there's a chance to drink it? ”
Li Zhen slowly pressed the cigarette butt against the palm of his hand and extinguished it—a smell of burning skin and flesh spread. But he didn't blink, and whispered, "Or maybe I have a bolder suggestion." And before...... There have been precedents for success. ”
He looked at Kitagawa Qingming: "It depends on whether you dare to bet." But it's not just your decision. I still need her decision. ”
Beichuan thought for a moment and opened his eyes wide: "Die first?" ”
"Die first." Li Zhen nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "While your current body has not completely collapsed, I will kill you." Then I will resurrect you with my blood. I saved you like this, and I think I can save you like this. ”
"But at the time, you were resonating with the species to save people."
"Now I have a part of Chiyu in my body. I can excite it. Just like last time. ”
"You ......" Kitagawa Harumi hesitated slightly, "Aren't you afraid of losing control like last time?" ”
Li Zhen looked at her: "Compared to you, at least I can still live." ”
Kitagawa's eyelashes drooped slightly. She thought for a moment and stood up, "Okay." I agree. So wait until she wakes up - you ask her. ”
Li Zhen nodded heavily.
The rest of the time is waiting. And Li Zhen almost couldn't care about anything else. There were a lot of things in the vicinity of the other house, but he didn't think those people would come so quickly. If his guess was correct, they would have to wait at least four days before they came forward.
And he placed sensors around the house – whenever someone came into range, something small in his arms would react.
Yu Ziqing's phone didn't call, and there was nothing wrong on Rizal Road.
All you can do is wait. Extremely anxious waiting.
The Ice King woke up at 6:30 in the morning, and Beichuan fell asleep at about 4 o'clock last night. After just two hours of sleep and his already gradually weakened body, this Kitagawa sat on the sofa for more than an hour before falling asleep again.
Li Zhen gently picked her up and sent her back to the bedroom upstairs.
Then he brought a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, watching her eyelashes tremble slightly.
It's like going through a long, never-ending nightmare.
It's a sunny day. The sky seems to be clearer after last night's rainstorm. Li Zhen looked at the white clouds and bright sun outside through the window, but his heart was pressed with a heavy mist. The sun shone in through the windows, and I walked slowly from the windowsill to the middle of the room...... Five hours passed.
Kitagawa Harumi's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his face flushed abnormally. The lips seemed to swell a little, as if blood would gush out with a prick of a needle. Li Zhenzhi said that this is what he used to be...... However, at that time, he went through two or three days.
But now it's only a few hours.
He was anxious. It's like being roasted on the fire, hoping that she will wake up soon. Because every minute of her vitality is passing fast, and the cancer cells are raging in her body. However, Li Zhen did not dare to wake her up—he was afraid that it was still the king of ice and wind who he would awaken.
In the current situation, he didn't dare to waste another minute or a second of his time. (To be continued.) )
