Chapter 46: Chapter 41: The Truth!

Could it be... Shen Ye held his breath, his fingers trembling as he clicked on the message. The contents of the message were a video. He anxiously clicked on the video. In front of the shaking camera, a girl in a white dress could be seen standing before a railing. The bright moonlight illuminated her graceful physique, and she never turned back, only leaving the camera a view of her back. The night shadow was vast, the cold moon endless. She leaned on the railing, gazing out over the sparkling, boundless river. Frost-like moonlight highlighted her delicate figure, the wind tousling her long hair, as if she were a stunning fairy exiled from the moon to the mortal world. Suddenly. A male voice sounded: "Qingyun, what type of boyfriend do you hope to find in the future?" The girl still didn't turn around, resting her cheek on her hand, gazing far off at the moon's reflection on the river, speaking in a languid tone: "I've never really thought about that before." Another male voice rose: "You can think about it now, you're almost of age — there must be countless young talents who have set their eyes on you." The speaker seemed to be quite prestigious. From this point, many people began to urge the girl to talk about her preferences for a suitor. Seemingly unable to resist the persuasion of the crowd, the girl brushed her wind-blown hair aside, turned slightly, and looked towards the camera. Her eyes sparkled like a bright starry sea, eyebrows exquisitely shaped; her skin was fairer than snow, her smile carrying a cunning and elegant charm. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The moonlight draped low over the surface of the river, and she tilted her chin proudly, allowing the endless night, the moon, and the river to cast their light on her figure, unveiled before the camera. Such beauty, yet utterly unconscious of it and unconcerned, as if — she deemed herself above comparison with the multitude of flowers. She parted her red lips, her voice soft and warm, gentle and moving: "I remember, as a child during the New Year, I visited the Shen Family once." "My sister and I were chased by a very fierce dog, and only Brother Shen Ye stepped forward to block the dog." "Brother Shen Ye was very kind; I've always remembered him." "If I were to choose a boyfriend—" "I hope he would be like him." The image faded. All turned dark in the video. After a while, the sound of wind, moonlight, laughter, and chatter all disappeared. The person filming seemed to have entered a quiet space. The camera was aimed at the floor. A male voice sounded: "Shen Ye... who is he?" Another male voice laughed mockingly: "We've already checked; the kid is quite normal and definitely won't cross paths with her again." "Can you be sure you know Qingyun's heart? What if she goes to find him?" Another male voice spoke. A silence ensued all around. The previously authoritative male voice suddenly spoke: "You guys think of something. I do not wish to see that Shen Ye appear before Qingyun." The others responded one after another: "Don't worry, this is a trivial matter." "We don't even need to take matters into our own hands for such a thing." "Let's hire someone, make it look like an accident." "It's simple..." "Just a matter of money." The authoritative voice said, "Mmm, have someone go and 'play' with him, consider it a little lesson for him." The image once again turned to darkness. The video had ended. Shen Ye closed his eyes for a moment. He had imagined countless scenarios, thinking that others might target the Shen Family, or try to harm his parents by killing him, or that his predecessor had accidentally stumbled upon some secret. Even— He had thought that someone knew about the soul from another world hidden within his body and sought to destroy him. But he never imagined that the truth would be so absurd. He silently stood up, turned, and walked out of the room, descending the still-intact staircase. The walls were full of corpses. The corridor was full of corpses. The ceiling was covered with bloody corpses. All the corpses here were looking at him. What's more, even the corpses on the corridor walls all turned to gaze at him. "You all... seem to have something to say to me?" Shen Ye said. A girl in a hotel uniform spoke: "Thank you for exerting yourself to kill that demon-like man." "Yes," a man in a police uniform said, "We were no match for him, he killed us all, only you avenged us." The other corpses chimed in one after another. Shen Ye shook his head, feeling unable to speak. What the hell. That guy was clearly trying to kill me. I brought this upon all of you. And what on earth was that shadow just now? At that moment, one of the corpses finally asked the question that lay heavy in their hearts: "I really want to know, why did that demon-like man want to kill us?" Shen Ye opened his mouth but found no words, only a heavy sense of suffocation in his heart. Xiao Mengyu had left too quickly. He couldn't catch up with her speed at all. The Skeleton had to protect itself and thus had given up the pursuit. He was too weak... Damn it. He clenched his fist. What a damn situation! He suddenly raised his eyes, speaking earnestly: "Everyone, if possible, I hope you can be reborn elsewhere." "I hope in another world, you can live with dignity." "Not like now, reluctantly, with humiliation, dying full of longing, causing pain to your loved ones." "—Please, all of you go." "I ask you not to worry or care about anything here anymore." "Someday in the future, when I have enough strength to investigate everything and find the mastermind—" "I will be the one to kill him." "I swear I will do this!" The corpses present listened quietly to his pledge, then began whispering amongst themselves, quickly spreading the word to the other corpses. Before long. All the corpses in the hotel were aware of the matter.
