Chapter 18: Breathing stopped.

A few days later, Xu You received a text message: [Cousin, thank you for taking care of me, I went to see him, he said he doesn't love his fiancée, everything is forced by his family, he will end it with her, I'm pregnant with his child, the child needs a father].

Xu You gripped his cell phone tightly, his jaw tightened, and he stiffly suppressed the emotions that rushed into his head.

She thought Qi You had verified her words that day and realized that Shaosi Xu was not who he said he was inside, so she had already died and was planning to leave this sad place.

Xu You also thought of another possibility, that Qi You would still go to Shaosi Xu, but she never thought that the plot of Qi You's pregnancy would be mentioned so far ahead, and because of the child, she was coaxed into forgiveness by Shaosi Xu in a few words.

Is Qi You too stupid or is she using the baby as leverage to get her relationship back.

Qi You herself would never have imagined that this child would eventually lead her to a different end, and Xu You doesn't want to see her go that far.

"Seven-eight," Xu You said to the system, "locate Qi You for me."

"Please don't waste your time doing unnecessary things," the system said, "Please carry out the decapitation mission as soon as possible."

The system has been repeating this task order lately, and if I had a choice, Xu You would have blocked it long ago.

SYSTEM: "If the host is unable to perform, we will select a time for the host to behead him."

"What?" Min Duan saw that she had been staring at her cell phone with a not-so-good expression and came over to look at her, "Worried about her?"

Xu You drops your eyes, "Uh-huh."

"Don't worry," Min Duan put a warm glass in her hand of the vanilla milkshake he'd just learned to make, "I'll help you find her."

Warmth grew in her palm, and she realized how cold her fingers had been a moment ago.

When Min Duan said he could find it, he could really find it. She didn't know how many puppets Min Duan had sent, and it only took two days to find Qi You in this huge city - she was in a hospital.

Xu You brow jumped, immediately took a taxi to this hospital and found the corresponding ward.

Opened the door, a glimpse of the person lying on the clean white hospital bed, her eyes empty, hair slightly disheveled, eyes red and swollen, haggard after a few days of absence, peacefully wearing a hospital gown, as if her breath could be cut off in the next moment.

" Qi You." Xu You called out softly, but his fingers were white from squeezing the door handle so hard.

Qi You look over, eyes gradually focused to see the person, tears silently seized the sockets, did not enter the quilt leaving deep and shallow traces.

She buried her face in the pillow, her voice muffled, "Cousin ...... What brings you here."

"To see you cry." Xu You walks over and sits on the edge of the bed, smoothing her hair with her hand.

In an instant, Qi You heart dam completely collapsed, she embraced Xu You , could not repress crying out, "cousin ...... I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"He's been lying to me, he's just trying to trick me into going over there and aborting the baby, he said ...... that he didn't love Lanlan Lin, but he couldn't let me have the baby either."

"I kept begging him ...... to let the baby go and promise to stay out of his and Lanlan Lin's presence for the rest of my life, but he wouldn't agree ....."

She still can't forget the look on Shaosi Xu's face, he touched her face with one hand and pressed one hand on her stomach with a gentle smile on his face, "Chess, don't blame me, I'm just doing this for our longer future ah."

At that moment she realized that Shaosi Xu might have liked her, but nothing compared to his liking for himself, for money and power, and that the Lin's behind Lanlan Lin could give him what he wanted.

Burning tears rolled down Xu You's neck, and the girl in her arms cried so hard that her shoulders trembled lightly, causing her heart to ache suddenly and reminding her of some past events.

Xu You think of your own world sister, sister in junior high school early love like a senior boy, the boy's grades are very poor, can not play basketball is not very handsome, the only thing is that will be patient coaxing people, giving a kind of gentle and thoughtful and meticulous feeling.

Early love is forbidden by law, under the repeated lectures of the class teacher, my sister did not bow down, my father was harsh and harsh to her, she also said with stubborn eyes, "I am right, I just like him, I can be with him for the rest of my life."

Everyone thought she didn't know any better and was rebellious to the core.

Dad beat his sister for the first time, hitting her with a one-finger stick, again and again, but she never admitted she was wrong or cried.

Against all the pressure, carrying verbal reproaches and full of pain, my sister still ran to find the boy, and just as she reached the door, she heard the boy's classmates ask him, "Why don't you see you playing with your little girlfriend?"

The boy laughed softly and said indifferently, "It's just for fun, what can a little girl know, who can take it seriously?"

That day my sister disappeared, she didn't go to school and she didn't come home. Xu You found her by a small pond.

My sister also said at that time, "Sister, what are you doing here?"

"Came to see you cry."

The sister froze, lowered her head, rubbed her eyes, didn't hold back a couple of whimpers, and let go of her suppressed sobs, "Sis, I was wrong ......"

My sister, who hadn't bowed her head under the stern gaze of her teacher, who hadn't cried under the cruel beatings of her parents, grabbed her sleeve and cried that she was wrong.

......

Xu You recollected his thoughts, couldn't suppress his heartache, hugged Qi You tightly and said, "Don't take all the mistakes to punish yourself, the one who is really wrong should be punished."

When Xu You returned, she didn't hesitate to redeem 100 points for Shaosi Xu's schedule for the coming month. Knowing that he would be staying at the Hua An Hotel for one night in five days, she made a plan in her mind.

"Warning, please host seize the time for the decapitation mission!"

Xu You Ignoring it, he used his points again to exchange for a pain potion, which could temporarily incapacitate a person, saturated with lucid consciousness, feeling the pain of the wounds on his body that were infinitely magnified.

Then she got a couple of specialized anatomy books from Min Duan and started reading them.

For a trashy beast like Shaosi Xu, who impregnates people without responsibility and treats pregnancy and abortion like child's play, who only cares about himself and doesn't give a damn about anything else, the one thing that will leave an everlasting shadow is, of course, physical castration. Physical castration.

The system warned her again, "Have you thought about the consequences of doing what you did?"

Shaosi Xu, as the son of a high-ranking official and his fiancée is the daughter of a big corporation, is a combination of power and money, and it's easy to pin her down afterward.

Travelers crossing over and applying the real identity of this world, naturally, they also have to follow the rules of this world, and the extras they can use are very limited.

But solutions are always devised, and more than fearing the consequences, she was afraid that she would not be able to "repay" Shaosi Xu when she was able to do so.

In the days that followed, Xu You was basically at the hospital with Qi You recovering, only going home in the afternoons to make some food, take a nap, and then go back to the hospital after washing up and changing clothes.

Min Duan, unaware of Xu You's plans, and presumably aware of what had happened to Qi You, so that Xu You spent almost all of his time with Qi You, didn't say anything, just rubbed in as Xu You ate lunch and lay down on the couch for a nap.

Xu You will tell him a little fairy tale, and then the two of them will lie down together on the sofa to rest.

Xu You also knows that she has less time to spend with him, so she allows him to take a nap with her.

He cherished these afternoons with her too much, the sun-warmed breeze blowing in, the familiar scent and body heat on his near side.

Everything reassured him.

"...... The little beauty's tail turned into human legs, and she went ashore to her prince ....... And the prince didn't really love her, and in the end she turned into foam on the sea."

Xu You Close the storybook and tell some familiar children's stories, without listening too carefully, to help you sleep.

She was a little sleepy from all the talking, and Min Duan had already fallen asleep.

The curtains were only half-drawn, the whole room half-lit, and the shadows under the side of his face made the whole thing look deeper and more three-dimensional.

Duan was lying on his side, slightly curled up, holding a strand of her black hair in his hand, his fine curled eyelashes covering it, his grim aura fading a bit, looking quiet and nice.

Xu You watched quietly for a while and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Counting the days, she was going to the Hua An Hotel tonight to deliver the shadows to Shaosi Xu.

At this moment, the system intended her thoughts, "Please pay attention to the host, the time selected by the switchboard for the host has arrived, the system will transmit the designated props to the host, please check and receive it, and execute the decapitation mission."

Xu You: "????" Wait, what the hell.

The next moment, a scalpel appeared in Xu You's hand and was aimed at the side of Min Duan's neck.

This designated prop made Xu You froze for a moment before noticing that there was an extremely small string of numbers 7878978 on it, which was the number that bound the system to her, which meant that you had to kill the mission target with this prop in order to be considered as completing the mission.

The sharp blade of the knife reflected Min Duan's cold white neck and the faint veins on it.

With this cut, the world will end and the mission will be complete.

The system urged, "Please host seize the opportunity!"

"I don't." Xu You back it in your head.

Maybe everything in this world was fake, but Min Duan was a living, breathing person in her heart, and that couldn't be erased.

Xu You was about to retrieve the scalpel when Min Duan opened his eyes.

Xu You stiffened and stopped breathing.

The two men stared at each other wordlessly for two seconds, the scalpel across the center especially piercing.

Min Duan abruptly smiled, but there was no smile at the corners of his eyes, her shadow reflected in his tea-brown eyes, but the bottom of his eyes was the cold light reflected by the blade of a knife.

"You're going to kill me?" He intoned.
