Chapter 535: Dance of Death
Sister Li," Xiao Qing's eyes were calm, like a pool of clear water, "You first took the lives of my adoptive parents, and then took away my best memories. At this moment, I only have one hour left to live, and even in this situation, do you still think I have the hole cards in my hand? "Yes. Miss Lili didn't hesitate, "Your eyes can't fool me." β
The hall was silent for a while, leaving only two beautiful girls looking at each other silently.
Xiao Qing's eyes were as clear and transparent as crystal, without a little impurity, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking. And Miss Lili's eyes are like a bay of autumn water, clear but cold.
"I'm more sure at the moment." Miss Lili spoke, "I've seen too many pairs of eyes that are desperate, but none of them are like you. "Eyes that are all gone," Xiao Qing suddenly asked, "Like King Zhou You?" "What? Miss Lili was stunned.
It was at this moment that Xiao Qing smiled.
Not a smile, not a sneer, but a relieved smile that surprised Miss Lili.
"You, what are you laughing at?" Miss Lili frowned slightly.
"Sister Li." Xiao Qing tied up her long hair that was a little messy again, and then said as if she had made up her mind, "You guessed it right, I do have hole cards, but it's not time for a showdown." β
"So, you're ready to challenge me?" Miss Lili asked coldly. β¨"Yes! Xiao Qing said unusually firmly, "Defeat me, force me to admit defeat, and make me kneel and beg for mercy." Only at that moment will I have a showdown with you. "Oh, dear," Miss Lili shook her head regretfully, "you shouldn't mess with me. As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Lili's slender jade fingers were already playing on the gorgeous keys.
"The third piece," said Miss Lili, as she played, "a dance to death." This is an indescribable piece of music, full of melancholy and nobility, as if death is lurking around us and may appear at any time, but death is not a terrible thing, it is as quiet and peaceful as returning to your hometown.
Of the three pieces, this is the most rhythmic, as if there is some kind of magic in it, so much so that everyone who listens to it is "ready to move".
The first to appear was the person standing on the top floor of the massive wall. In the midst of this fantastic music, the people who had been standing motionless at the top began to sway from side to side to the beating notes.
At this moment, Xiao Qing felt as if these people had been drained of their souls and turned into marionettes. And the notes that Miss Lili played were the invisible threads. But the groove that holds people is limited in size, and this slightly comical and chaotic scene only lasts for the moment.
The next moment, a mutation appeared!
Hearing only a "whoosh", a woman standing on the top floor jumped down like a dive, and only a second or two later, with a terrible scream, this woman's body had "kissed" the earth and shattered her bones.
The dance to death was indeed not misnamed. With the death of the first person, a big scene seems to have begun.
"Boom!" β¨"Boom! "Boom! Before he could react, several more people fell off the huge platform one after another with confused dance steps, rhythmic music slowly flowing, and death was smiling at everyone. The cold ground of the main hall bloomed one after another with flowers made of blood!
"Sister Li......" Xiao Qing felt dizzy, she tried to hold on to something, but the surroundings were empty.
"My dear," Miss Lili whispered, but her slender fingers did not stop playing, "and this is just the beginning. Soon, there was no one in the recess on the top of the huge wall, as if it had been erased out of thin air. And their flesh and blood have been fused with the cold ground of the hall forever.
Although Xiao Qing didn't know any of these people, she was still grief-stricken. Because the subconscious told her that these people died because they didn't do well enough.
"Sister Li......" "What? Maybe she was tired of playing, Miss Lili stopped playing the piano for the first time, she enjoyed the pain in Xiao Qing's eyes and finally asked softly, "Do you admit defeat?" ββ¨ββ¦β¦ Please," Xiao Qing hesitated, but Xiao Qing still spoke, "Let them go." "Honey, don't you understand? Miss Lili said coldly, "The life and death of these people are in your hands. "If ......," Xiao Qing wanted to say and stopped.
Although she did not say what was in her heart, it did not affect the communication between Miss Lili and her. Because Miss Lili can ignore words and see through her thinking directly.
"If it was just me, I would have thrown in the towel." Miss Lili chuckled and said, "Honey, this is a very interesting sentence, it seems that there are other reasons why you will never admit defeat!" "But here's the blame," Miss Lili's voice grew colder, and her slender fingers regained their grip on the keys, "I just can't see through that!" The music that symbolizes death is played again, this time with a brighter tempo. It was as if a large group of people were dancing in front of a roaring bonfire, and even though a part of their lives were lost with each dance, they didn't care! β¨It was at this moment that the most terrible thing happened.
Meiguo, who had been sitting motionless on the ground, was the first to stand up, her outstretched arms dancing to the beating notes.
Immediately after, Rey, Anxin, Miki-sensei, and even Agora all stood up, and everyone held hands in a circle, just like when they came. Only Mr. Z was still sitting motionless on the ground.
At this moment, Mr. Z became the campfire in the center of the death ball, and it was the crowd that circled around him.
They...... Everyone......
Xiao Qing tried to remember, but the memory was like water that slipped into the palm of your hand, once you tried to grab it, it would silently flow between your fingers, and you couldn't keep it at all.
They, they are all my dearest and most beloved people! Xiao Qing couldn't stop shouting in her heart, but she was painfully aware that her memories of these people were transparent, no different from those strangers on the huge wall.
The music is gorgeous and elegant, and the rhythm is calm and powerful. As the notes flowed, the circle formed by Rey and the others gradually stopped.
At this moment, Mr. Z, who had been sitting motionless on the ground, slowly stood up. At this moment, the person who stopped in front of him was Rey. Mr. Z looked at Rey with his grim gaze, his face expressionless.
Xiao Qing suddenly felt her heart beat faster!
Because Mr. Z slowly raised a slender hand, and at some point there was an extra knife in his hand. Rey didn't mean to dodge, he didn't move, and even there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
The dance steps towards death have unconsciously ushered in the final brilliance!
"No......" Xiao Qing lowered her head silently, "Sister Li, I beg you, I really beg you, don't do this." "Is that all you want to say? Miss Lili stopped playing the piano and moved her fingers slightly.
"It's been a long time since I've played this song, so I'm really not proficient." Miss Lili muttered to herself.
But strangely, this waltz of death does not stop, as if an unseen ghost continues to play the music.
"Honey, you don't have much time." Miss Lili reminded, "I think you should have seen the knife, and if I press one more note, it will pass through the boy's chest." β
"How?" Miss Lili said condescendingly, "Admit defeat?" β
"I ......" Xiao Qing's silver teeth clenched, but in the end she didn't say a word.
"Humph!"
Miss Lili didn't hesitate for a second, and her slender jade fingers quickly tapped on the keys, making a low, deep sound.
As if receiving an order, the knife in Mr. Z's hand stabbed Rey's chest in a daze!
Just as Miss Lili's beautiful eyes gradually appeared with the brilliance of a victor, she saw such a picture: Mr. Z's hand had been waved to Rey's chest, and it was still there, and the force of the stab was still faintly visible on Mr. Z's handsome face. Rey in front of him was motionless, but there was no painful expression on his face. Because the knife didn't stab.
The knife in Mr. Z's hand unexpectedly disappeared!
"You ......" After a short silence, Miss Lili sneered, "A guy like you is not even half a person, is he worthy of fighting me?" After saying that, Miss Lili just waved her hand casually, and Mr. Z fell backwards in a daze as if he had suffered an overwhelming force.
"Boom!"
The voice is unusually muffled. Mr. Z, who fell to the ground, did not make any sound from his mouth.
"The game continues." Miss Lili obviously didn't want to give Xiao Qing a chance to breathe.
What had just happened was just a small episode for her, and Miss Lili didn't care.
"Aren't you going to see him?" Xiao Qing suddenly asked.
"Look at him? Which he? β
Xiao Qing looked directly into Miss Lili's eyes and said slowly, "Ah Feng." "See what he does? Miss Lili pursed her lips girlishly, "I can't die anyway." "So," a light flashed in Xiao Qing's clear eyes, "So Sister Li is merciful?" β
"Not really!" Miss Lili said categorically. She laughed when she said that, because she suddenly found something very interesting.
"Honey, it looks like you don't know yet." β¨"Don't know what? "Our Ah Feng won't live long for a long time. "What? Xiao Qing couldn't believe her ears.
"Hmph." Miss Lili smiled coldly.
The pain, the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow appeared again in those beautiful eyes. This pain is in the final struggle with hope.
Your Royal Highness, how long can you hold out?
