Thinking of this, Guang Ge’s hand trembled even harder. His finger on the trigger, his whole body shook like a cork.
The sweet looking girl who was caught because of Tu Yao slapped her angrily and cursed, “Are you sick? Are you happy now that you’ve killed everyone?!”
If these two hadn’t shown up, the gangsters wouldn’t have acted right away. At best, they would interrogate them, and at worst they would make an example of them. But now they had no more reservations, and everyone was staring angrily at Tu Yao.
Tu Yao tugged on Gu Xizhou’s clothes weakly and mumbled to herself, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“What the fuck can you say other than ‘I’m sorry’?” the sweet looking girl cried.
Half kneeling, Lai Shenglei also felt despair, but in his heart he didn’t feel like Tu Yao was causing trouble. Instead he felt regret—This fake NPC had tricked them and was trying to kill them! It had to be a ghost!
“Why are you hesitating? You don’t dare to kill?” Li Longhu asked in a low voice when he saw that Guang Ge was taking forever to shoot.
Guang Ge felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet and noticed that Li Longhu’s hand was already back on the gun. Guang Ge swallowed and shook his head. He was about to shoot—
No… No. They had to find a way. Tu Yao… what did Tu Yao want?
Totally restrained, Gu Xizhou panicked. What should he do? What should he do? Gu Xizhou felt like he couldn’t think anymore. Was it really going to happen all over again… No…
Gu Xizhou’s eyes turned red. No one noticed when Si Yu let out a deep sigh.
Instantly Gu Xizhou heard the helpless sigh.
“Xizhou, she’s apologizing to you, ah. She wants you to forgive her.”

As soon as Si Yu said that, Tu Yao looked up at him with gratitude and embarrassment before lowering her head, but Gu Xizhou didn’t catch that exchange.

Guang Ge and Li Longhu were too stunned when they saw such a monster. Tu Yao rushed at them, throwing a bloody corpse into the air.
Tu Yao ripped them apart, red blood flowing over the ground.
“Aaaaah!!!” Li Longhu fired his gun without stopping, only to realize the gun had no effect. One of his hands was torn apart, followed by his other hand, his feet… He let out a bitter cry, but Tu Yao still wasn’t done yet. She tortured the man before her until there was nothing left. There wasn’t one intact piece left.
After that Tu Yao scrambled towards the building like a spider.
When Gu Xizhou and his companions ran over they only saw lumps of bloody flesh and a white coat dyed red with blood where Tu Yao had been.
Tu Yao’s eyes were red. When all the guards were dead she finally stopped her movements and walked slowly over to Gu Xizhou. Standing at the factory gate covered in blood, she smiled at Gu Xizhou as her body slowly crumbled.
As the wind ruffled her hair, Gu Xizhou heard her say one last time— “I’m sorry.”
Why are you still apologizing? Didn’t I already say that I forgive you?
Gu Xizhou was frozen in place. It wasn’t because of hatred or because she wanted to escape. Tu Yao had been blaming herself all along… In order to break her chains she just wanted to be forgiven…
Gu Xizhou was at a loss. Everyone else had just experienced a life or death situation, but they were confused. Why did Gu Xizhou forgive Tu Yao? And why did Tu Yao turn into a vicious ghost and kill all those people? After the door appeared, they didn’t want to think about it anymore. Except for Fang Zhi and Si Yu, everyone else turned around and left.
“Fang Zhi, you leave first, ba.” Gu Xizhou said after a moment of silence.
Fang Zhi nodded, feeling just as confused as everyone else, but it seemed like there was something Gu Xizhou wanted to say to Si Yu…
Fang Zhi thought for a moment before opening the door and walking out.
Gu Xizhou turned to look at Si Yu and said, “Did you already know? That so long as I forgave her the world would end?”
Si Yu’s eyelids dropped and for a moment he watched Gu Xizhou attentively. “If I said that I didn’t think of it until just now, would you believe me?”
Gu Xizhou shook his head.
Si Yu shrugged, which could be considered an admission.
Gu Xizhou thought of all his speculations and suspensions before he said in a low voice, “Si Yu, that die isn’t a prop from the gambling world.”
“En…” Si Yu said with a bitter smile. “It really isn’t. I had it beforehand.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? Were you trying to deceive me?” Gu Xizhou asked, raising his eyebrows.
Si Yu, “If I had told you, would you have still used it?”
Gu Xizhou was silent for a moment before pointing up at the sky. “Si Yu, be honest with me. Does it want me to kill you? This die is really…”
“All powerful,” Si Yu said in a deep voice, walking over to take the die from Gu Xizhou’s hand.
Gu Xizhou, “Right, it’s like… it can control people’s destinies.”
Si Yu was silent for a moment. “It seems like it can.”
Gu Xizhou let out a long breath and said, “I will never kill you. Can we get rid of this thing? Maybe then it will stop watching you.”
Si Yu glanced at Gu Xizhou. “Okay, ah.”
Si Yu threw the die to the ground as he spoke. Gu Xizhou was stunned by Si Yu’s casual attitude.
Gu Xizhou didn’t dare to think what Si Yu had gone through to get a prop like that.
Si Yu’s lips curled, the depths of his eyes narrowing as two fine boned hands pulled Gu Xizhou into his chest.
At that moment, Gu Xizhou felt like he should tell Si Yu everything about his situation. Even though Si Yu had already guessed it, Gu Xizhou talked about his resurrection and what happened with Ji Ji while Si Yu held him in his arms. Clearly Si Yu didn’t think it was weird. “You don’t think it’s weird?” Gu Xizhou asked, his voice strange.
Si Yu didn’t reply.
“If I can leave then I can change the past. I can come back to life, and Ji Ji can come back to life too!” Gu Xizhou said happily.
Si Yu gave Gu Xizhou a vague response.
Seeing Si Yu wasn’t in a good mood, Gu Xizhou said, “When I leave I’ll be twenty years older than you. I’ll definitely be older and my body will be different.”
Si Yu said in a deep voice, “I love your soul.”
Hearing what Si Yu said, Gu Xizhou immediately broke out in goosebumps. He smiled and pushed Si Yu away. “Now that the die is gone, it shouldn’t watch you anymore. Even if it does, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
After speaking, Gu Xizhou took one last long look at the abandoned factory. This world really was simple.
But what did Fu Yiran mean? But now that the die is gone, it shouldn’t matter, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhou stepped forward. As soon as he took a step, the door suddenly closed as if blown shut by a gust of wind. Gu Xizhou was stunned for a moment, he’d never encountered a situation like this before.
As Gu Xizhou reached for the door, Si Yu just stood there watching him walk away with a smile, his hands shoved into his pant’s pockets like he was waiting at the entrance of the police station for him to come home.
Gu Xizhou who had just opened the door suddenly released his grip on the handle. He looked back and said, “Si Yu, what aren’t you telling me?”
Si Yu’s expression betrayed a trace of surprise. “What’s wrong…?”
Gu Xizhou: “I can’t open it.”
“The door.”
