Chapter 88
The cool moonlight was just a step away, and the beautiful demon was laughing in a bloodbath.
Xia Weishuang felt as if she were in a dream. How could the scene in front of her be so strange and unreal?
Sang Lu happily tilted her head up and devoured the slowly writhing piece of meat. The tentacles that extended from the piece of meat were like the tentacles of a mollusk, randomly and irregularly extending and retracting.
The blood stained Sang Lu’s pale skin red, and her cheeks, chin, and neck were inevitably painted with a thick color.
This scene should have made one feel disgusted, but Xia Weishuang inexplicably had some cheerful thoughts. When she realized her twisted thoughts, she felt a sense of panic towards herself.
Xia Weishuang raised her hand and pinched her face. As soon as she moved, Sang Lu’s gaze shifted over.
Sang Lu licked her bloody red lips, innocent and cruel. She opened her arms and walked towards Xia Weishuang, presenting an extremely contrasting natural and ordinary scene in this terrifying murder scene.
“Don’t come over!”
Xia Weishuang called out to stop. When she looked at Sang Lu, she also suppressed the thoughts that she shouldn’t have. Had she been with this guy for so long that even her own thoughts had unknowingly changed?
Sang Lu was quite obedient. She raised her hand and, while looking at Xia Weishuang, she licked the blood between her fingers.
“You killed him,” Xia Weishuang felt a little confused. “Because he wanted to kill us?”
Sang Lu looked very innocent, and there was only a little anger in her eyes, and more joy. “He wanted to hurt Shuangshuang, so of course he had to die. But, even if he didn’t hurt Shuangshuang, I would have killed him.”
Sang Lu clapped her hands and asked, “It was so hard to kill him. I succeeded. Is Shuangshuang happy?”
It wasn’t a matter of being happy or not. This just made Xia Weishuang confirm again that an existence in Sang Lu’s state was really very difficult to have normal thoughts and emotions.
“I thought he was of the same kind as you. You would have a sense of identity with him. Besides, his acting was not bad,” Xia Weishuang’s mood was a little complicated.
“How could it be?” Sang Lu’s eyes widened, and she actually looked even more surprised than Xia Weishuang. She pressed her chest and said, “Why should I identify with him? Of course, we are of the same kind!”
Sang Lu’s lips curled into a sinister, cold, and cunning smile. “That’s why I understand, what he was thinking.”
They were monsters born of obsession, and they could never stop the desires that were constantly growing in their hearts. They would spend their whole lives seeking a home for their souls like moths to a flame.
Sang Lu longed for Xia Weishuang, and Liu Kaiyin longed for a powerful companion of the same kind. What she had done to Xia Weishuang before, Liu Kaiyin would do today.
On the surface, Liu Kaiyin had a mind and emotions that could be understood. He looked gentle and kind, and could get along with humans. But just like Sang Lu, who had previously suppressed and disguised herself to please Xia Weishuang, Liu Kaiyin was also just pretending.
But Liu Kaiyin could not pretend for a lifetime. This fire would inevitably burn the paper on it clean. The hungry soul could never be filled. He would destroy everything that Sang Lu cared about in order to compete for her attention.
Yes, they were of the same kind. They understood each other.
But they could not be companions, because the pathetic monster only wanted its own □□. Besides that, everything was dust.
So when Sang Lu realized what Liu Kaiyin wanted, she had to kill him. No matter how long Liu Kaiyin planned to pretend, as long as she found an opportunity, she would not hesitate to kill him.
Sang Lu would absolutely not allow anything other than herself to threaten Xia Weishuang’s safety.
Sang Lu walked towards Xia Weishuang again, swaying and opening her arms, wanting to hold the existence that nourished her hungry soul tightly in her arms.
She had eliminated a threat. Her Shuangshuang should be very happy, and would love her even more!
The surging joy exploded like fireworks. For some reason, perhaps because this so-called same kind had after all brought Sang Lu a different kind of thought and feeling, she actually felt the words “cherish” and “love” more and more strongly.
This world was so big, and there was even more than one of the so-called same kind, but there was only one Xia Weishuang.
What she longed for, what she wanted, what she could not leave was only that one. Who could be as lucky as her, Sang Lu? Ah… they were all on the path of destroying their beloved and destroying themselves for their whole lives, but she was lucky to be stopped by Shuangshuang.
Sang Lu was like a giant clam closing its shell, holding Xia Weishuang tightly in her arms. Her heart was bubbling with a sour and sweet feeling, which tormented her so much that she couldn’t help but rub and twist, hoping to use Xia Weishuang’s temperature to rub away the itch.
But Xia Weishuang stretched out a finger and pressed against her forehead, and pushed her back a little by little.
The bubbling Sang Lu was forced to go back and back, and the rising temperature slowly dropped.
Xia Weishuang withdrew her hand and walked into the door. “Did I let you touch me?”
The smile on Sang Lu’s face stiffened. Her hands, which had nowhere to go, drooped listlessly. She stood in the dark corridor, not knowing what to do for a moment.
But suddenly, two things were thrown out from the door. One fell to her feet with a thud, and the other was lightly thrown onto her head.
Sang Lu’s eyes widened. She looked at the mop at her feet with a puzzled look, as if she were studying a difficult math problem. The towel on her head fell down.
Then a faint voice came from inside the door. “You’re not allowed in until you’ve cleaned up.”
**
The commotion last night had obviously woken up the few of them, but Bai Qian and the others had not dared to come out. They had all been hiding behind the crack of the door, peeking. And so, they were forced to see the scene of the murderer, who was covered in blood, diligently cleaning.
During the day, Xia Weishuang appeared with a normal expression and ate with everyone. Only then did Wei Yunlang mention what had happened last night.
“I thought he would be controlled and join us, just like Sang Lu.”
Xia Weishuang held a bowl of sesame paste and shook her head. “At first, I thought so too, but it didn’t work. Last night, when I was lying in bed, I thought about a lot of things again and found that he and Sang Lu were still a little different. Sang Lu herself has no likes or dislikes for humans other than me, but Liu Kaiyin seems to hate humans themselves.”
At the same time, Xia Weishuang finally knew why she could not predict the scene of Liu Kaiyin hurting everyone. It was because this winged spirit had been dealt with by Sang Lu before he could act.
Wei Yunlang said, “As for this, I think it’s quite easy to understand. I’ve talked to him a lot before, and I found that before he mutated, he was the kind of person who was incompetent and lazy and enjoyed pleasure, and thus developed an anti-social and extreme psychology. But, he obviously didn’t think he was wrong. He thought that everyone was superficial and didn’t understand him. And because he was a coward and incompetent, he didn’t dare to do anything that would harm society. He could only vent on the internet and fantasize.”
Xia Weishuang was deep in thought. “So after he mutated, his dark side was completely magnified. He longed for a truly powerful companion who could understand him, because he wanted to use this to prove that his true self was powerful. It wasn’t his fault that others couldn’t see it. It was because others were blind. And to prove his strength, it was also because he hated the humans who had regarded him as a waste before he died.”
Wei Yunlang snapped his fingers. “That’s right. Let me tell you, it’s still us men who understand men the most. A person like him was definitely an internet troll before he died, and the kind who hated women because he couldn’t find a girlfriend. Otherwise, why would he be so excited when he saw Sang Lu? He definitely didn’t just want a companion, but a beautiful and powerful girlfriend who would unconditionally obey him. Haha, unfortunately, Sang Lu is already your girlfriend!”
Xia Weishuang: “…”
Wei Yunlang: “Hey, did I say something wrong?” He scratched his head.
Xia Weishuang nodded. “It’s nothing. Continue. According to the current analysis, Liu Kaiyin’s mentality is actually about the same as Sang Lu’s, but his obsession is not as simple as Sang Lu’s, and his strength is not as strong as Sang Lu’s.”
Simple, that’s right. With Liu Kaiyin as a comparison, Sang Lu actually seemed simple.
Xia Weishuang said, “The number of such existences should still be very small. By the way, his body doesn’t seem to have the usual crystals, but a kind of… strange meat.”
Bai Qian said, “This may be another form of existence for crystals.”
What it was exactly was still unknown.
After dinner, Xia Weishuang found that Liu Kaiyin’s wings had been cut off and thrown on the rooftop, and his body had actually been hung on the outer wall by Sang Lu.
Later, when she asked her why she had done this, Sang Lu actually said, “It’s not tasty!” which almost choked everyone to death.
Even if this guy had mutated to the point of not looking like a human, his body was still in the shape of a human, just a little more tragic, a little more disgusting, and his head was like a broken gourd.
This, this, how can it be hung on the wall?
But now Sang Lu was sleeping, and there was no way to ask her what she wanted to do. The position where the body was hanging was also particularly tricky. The few of them couldn’t take it down, so they could only let it hang.
The pair of hard insect wings was more worthy of the few of them’s attention than the body. This thing was very hard and could block bullets. It was a good material for shields and armor. But this also meant that they couldn’t drill holes in it to modify it.
They could only use glue and wooden sticks to stick it together and use it as a large shield.
One was given to Mi Lele. Mi Lele held the insect wing shield, and her whole body was blocked.
The other was shared by everyone, and they could take it if they needed it.
**
Sang Lu had been sleeping for several days. Although she was in a deep sleep, her body still had an instinctive reaction, prohibiting any creature other than Xia Weishuang from entering the suite.
If anyone dared to break in, her tentacles would wave around without any politeness—the kind that could kill people, without leaving any room for mercy.
Only Xia Weishuang could enter her territory.
It had been four days.
Xia Weishuang unknowingly walked in front of Sang Lu and subconsciously reached out her hand. The sleeping Sang Lu’s expression was blank, but she inexplicably relaxed a little, as if she would feel at ease when she felt Xia Weishuang’s aura.
Sang Lu’s four limbs did not maintain the appearance of human limbs. They extended long like the veins of a leaf, climbing the walls and windows of the entire suite, ensuring that this place was still an impregnable fortress when she was in a deep sleep.
Of course, it was difficult to avoid Xia Weishuang stepping on her when she was walking, but Sang Lu didn’t care about this. When Xia Weishuang wanted to go out, she would even pull open her tentacle net.
“When will you wake up?” Xia Weishuang stood in front of her and said softly, as if she were complaining, “Fortunately, I made you wash up before you went to sleep. Otherwise, you would have started to stink.”
Sang Lu’s mouth moved. Xia Weishuang thought she was about to wake up, but unfortunately, this was just an illusion. Sang Lu was still in a deep sleep, and she didn’t know what good things she was dreaming of eating.
Of course, Xia Weishuang would not sleep with her. Xia Weishuang had her own room.
But in the middle of the night, Xia Weishuang was woken up by the cold. How could it be so cold!
The cold Xia Weishuang thought that Sang Lu had woken up and had quietly wrapped herself around her. No! Sang Lu is not awake yet. It’s just that the temperature has dropped.
