Chapter 71: Reunion in Danger (1)
Yinyin and Guisha finally arrived at the infected area. As soon as they entered the first area, Yinyin felt very sad about the scene in front of her. Can she hold on in the future? It's just the beginning, not all. The current situation can be said to be good. She has yet to see worse and more miserable scenes. In the next journey, can she suppress the pain in her heart and face it with strength?
"...Do you want to save them?"
"May I?"
Unable to continue facing Yin Yin's pain, Guisha spoke calmly. This was not what he wanted or was willing to do. He just didn't want to see Yin Yin continue to be sad.
"What you are about to face is a scene that is several times more miserable than this one. If you promise me that you will stop crying, I can help them. I am not sure whether I can completely suppress the disease, but at least I can alleviate their pain and, if possible, let them live a few more days."
After hearing Guisha's words, Yinyin stopped crying immediately and decisively wiped away the tears with both hands.
"There is one more thing I want to make clear. There is still no cure for the real plague. Although I have a way to prevent it, it is not absolute. In other words, we may be infected at any time. In other words, you and I are both in an extremely dangerous situation. Since I will definitely do what I promised you, I hope you can keep your promise to me, okay?"
Yinyin was speechless. It wasn't that she didn't want to nod, but she knew that Guisha had sacrificed his life to stay by her side. And was Guisha really cold-blooded? Did he keep his distance from people because he couldn't do absolute prevention? It was easy to understand. He avoided too much and too deep contact. It was as if Guisha took everything on himself. Was it an illusion? Yinyin felt that everything Guisha did was centered on her. What made Guisha do this? Just for a promise?
The ghost who didn't get a direct answer from Yin Yin started to take action, because he didn't need Yin Yin to make a sound to answer. Yin Yin's expression had already told him that he always kept a distance from others and was unwilling to get involved in right and wrong. This time he took the initiative to ask for help, even if it was just to restrict Yin Yin from doing dangerous things, the significance of his doing so was limited to this.
Yinyin stood there motionless, watching the ghost demon enter a room where the sound came from. She had no idea what the ghost demon was thinking. Yes, the ghost demon was always doing things that she couldn't understand. Was he helping her just to bring her back to the place where he had agreed to meet someone? He offered to help her to prevent her from coming into contact with infected people. This would indeed restrict her actions to some extent, but Yinyin wondered if this idea was really correct. After all, she and the ghost demon had only known each other for a short time, and she didn't really know him! With this idea, Yinyin also believed in the ghost demon.
After the ghosts finished what they were supposed to do, they took Yin Yin away. No one knew where they came from. Because they were entangled in the plague, no one would notice them. They came in the dark and left in the dark, leaving behind only medicine and treatment methods that made people half-believe...
"It's almost dawn ."
Looking at the dawn light in the distant sky, Guisha spoke lightly. They were now on a hill in the plain not far from Weicheng. Yinyin's sight was not the morning light, but the Weicheng that was vaguely visible in front of her with the faint morning light. After many days of absence, Weicheng was no longer the same as before and was now shrouded in the breath of death.
"It's still not too late to go back now."
"……Thank you."
"Well?"
I wanted to remind Yin Yin to leave now, but I didn't expect Yin Yin's answer to be unexpected.
"That's enough. Let's stop here. I can go the rest of the way by myself."
Anyone heading towards death will be afraid, and so will Yinyin. She pretends to be strong on the outside, so how could she not be afraid of death? In Weicheng, which is full of the breath of death, it is very likely that she will be infected as the ghost said. Once infected, there is no cure. Yinyin does not want to implicate other people in such a dangerous matter, even if it is the ghost who studies medicine. No matter how much she hopes to get help from the ghost, Yinyin does not want more victims to continue to increase. She still remembers that the ghost almost killed her in the dark mountain...
"What do you want to say?"
"...I don't want you to take the same risk as me. Even if you do, I will—"
Before Yinyin could finish her words, Guisha covered her mouth with his hand. At the same time, Guisha's symbolic mask appeared in front of her. The two were only inches apart. Yinyin was stunned and could not utter a word...
"What have you got wrong? It's my freedom to go wherever I want, and it's my own decision to come here. Now I'm standing here on my own will. Why do you ask me to go back? Who do you think you are? How can you worry about others when you can't even take care of yourself?"
The ghost's tone was so cold that Yin Yin's body and mind trembled. Even though she couldn't see his expression, she could see his eyes flashing with cold light through the mask. In an instant, what appeared in her mind was fear?
"You can do whatever you want. It's not your turn to intervene in my affairs. After all, I am just a watcher. Or do you want me to take you away by force? Or do you want me to take your body with me?"
This cold tone continued to devour Yin Yin's frightened heart. At this moment, there was nothing else in her mind except fear. If she could be stronger to face it, she might be able to find out... What was the reason for what Guisha said and did so far? The most important thing was that she could not even detect the anger burning in Guisha's heart and eyes at this moment, which seemed to be able to devour a person. Where did his anger come from?
