You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 637

"But you..."

Tang Yin's voice was low and hoarse, as if it penetrated a layer of cold barrier, trying to touch her true emotions.

However, Wang Lina just smiled lightly.

"pity!"

Her smile suddenly widened, and the ill-concealed malice in her eyes burst out completely, as if she had finally torn off her disguise and revealed her true nature hidden in the shadows.

"Do you think it's because of what Qian Ming Shen said? Are you kidding me?"

Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of excitement, as if she had finally broken through a boring dream.

"Each of us is just a toy in the hands of God!"

She opened her fingers slightly and pinched the air lightly, as if she were really controlling some invisible thread of fate.

"I just wanted to kill, kill, kill from the beginning, and I couldn't bear it anymore!"

Her words were as sharp as a blade, and every word seemed to dissect reality, revealing the deepest madness and desire.

"That's right. So, maybe the reason I returned home this time was because I wanted to kill someone."

Her tone was terribly calm, as if it was just a trivial matter, like going home to visit relatives or picking a flower.

“…It feels like a dream right now.”

She closed her eyes slightly, a satisfied smile on her lips, as if she was enjoying the last moment of the game.

"What a shame, scumbag!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, her crimson pupils shone startlingly bright in the night.

"Wang Lina is just that kind of person! You look at women differently!!"

--How can it be.

Tang Yin's heart suddenly shrank, and his fingertips trembled slightly due to the force.

This woman... has she really been like this from the beginning?
Wang Lina tilted her head, the smile on her face was still sweet, but with an unconcealable cruelty.

"Tang Yin, when we first met, I was already thinking about what would happen if I killed this person?"

Her voice was light, as if she was recalling a beautiful past event.

"In a sense, I finally got what I wanted."

The night wind blew, the mist rolled, and her black hair fluttered gently, making her look even more ethereal and dangerous.

"...Anyway, I've already broken the rules, so I'm sure I'll be contaminated and killed tonight."

Her voice suddenly lowered, as if she was whispering, or talking to herself.

"You should be my last enjoyment."

Her fingers slowly tightened, gripping the sharp blade hidden in her sleeve. The blade gleamed slightly in the mist, emitting a deadly chill.

“——Okay, then…”

"Let's make a bet."

Tang Yin suddenly interrupted her.

His body was already at its limit and the pain almost made him unable to think, but at this moment, his eyes became extremely calm.

The curiosity about the mystery, the fear of being forced to find the truth, and even my pain, all mixed together and dissipated without a trace.

Tang Yin still has his stubbornness.

He raised his head slightly, stared at Wang Lina, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Give me ten minutes, and I'll run like hell, and then you'll chase me."

His voice was unhurried, even revealing a hint of calmness.

"If I escape, I win. If you win, then..."

His eyes were deep, as if he was looking into the distant future.

"Let me die with my love for you in my heart."

Wang Lina was stunned for a moment, then she smiled unexpectedly.

"Yes, I like it."

She smiled gently, her long black hair blown by the breeze, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Even if it was a meaningless dying struggle, Tang Yin wanted to decide his own direction and how he would die.

As long as he ignored the intense pain, Tang Yin could still stagger forward.

He could no longer feel his legs, or perhaps his nerves were gradually adapting to the constant pain. Blood dripped onto the soil, soaking through his trouser legs and forming a winding line of blood.

She would definitely be able to find him by following these blood trails.

But even so, Tang Yin still did not stop.

He staggered up the hillside and headed towards Baifengzhuang.

The road to Baifengzhuang has collapsed.

Tang Yin knew this clearly.

He remembered that the last time Xiaomei ran into the mountains, she came back covered in blood with a terrified expression on her face, as if she had seen something terrible.

The mountain surrounded by thick fog is a different world and a forbidden place for the people of the Hidden Mist Village.

It's like an invisible boundary there. Once ordinary people step in, they will be completely swallowed up.

Perhaps, just like the last time they tried to escape from the Godhead River,
He will be swallowed by the fog and then killed by the monster.

But no matter what, if Wang Lina can be attracted here, then...

Maybe Xiaome can escape.

If Wang Lina hadn't hunted me down...

So what will she do?
Tang Yin didn't know and didn't dare to gamble.

But he would rather believe that Wang Lina would not chase Xiao Mee.

She would more likely choose to stay in this deserted village and meet her end.

If everything is irreversible, he must at least try once to try to escape from here.

Tang Yin took a deep breath and stopped thinking about Wang Lina's madness.

Think about it next time.

He walked forward, over the cliff and through the forest.

The fog grew thicker, and the humid air invaded the clothes with a faint fishy smell, as if the whole world was swallowed up in nothingness.

The mountain path was rugged and uneven, the soil beneath his feet soft and stained with blood and sweat. With every step he took, Tang Yin could feel his body growing weaker and his consciousness becoming hazy.

He finally stood on the cliff and looked down at the landslide area below.

The road collapse is more serious than imagined.

The sand and fallen trees completely blocked the mountain road, like a natural moat, dividing the world into two ends.

Large chunks of rock collapsed from the mountain, forming a steep fault. The bottom was filled with muddy water, emitting a smell of corruption.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's passable.

Is it a natural disaster or man-made?

Tang Yin couldn't confirm it.

But he didn't stop and continued along the mountain road.

It's already more than ten minutes.

Wang Lina, they should have already left.

He stopped and held his breath.

In the distance, there was the sound of brush being parted.

She is chasing after me.

The fog rolled, as if some invisible creature was slowly wriggling, devouring everything around it.

Tang Yin's fingertips tightened slightly, but he didn't look back.

If she wants to pursue him, then she should play with him to the end.

However, the strange thing is...

The distance between them did not shorten.

Wang Lina did not pursue him relentlessly.

What is she waiting for?
Tang Yin's heart suddenly sank, as if some uneasy premonition emerged in his mind.

What the hell is she thinking?
However, he suddenly felt dizzy.

It was as if all the blood rushed to the top of my head, my ears were buzzing, and the world was distorted and tilted in my vision.

Tang Yin's knees went weak and he almost fell.

There happened to be a thick, miscellaneous tree next to him, and he immediately sat down on the roots of the tree, leaning against the trunk, trying to regulate his breathing.

Take a breath... and talk later.

But the moment he closed his eyes, darkness engulfed him completely like a silent tide.

——Sudden silence.

Tang Yin suddenly opened his eyes, his heart beating violently.

...something's wrong.

He blinked. The night remained the same, the fog rolled in, and nothing around him seemed to have changed. But an extreme uneasiness rose in his heart.

How long had he been unconscious? One minute? Ten minutes? Or...longer?
Tang Yin gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but——

I can't use my limbs at all.

The severe blood loss made his body terribly weak. His whole body was so cold as if all the blood and flesh had been sucked out, leaving only an empty skeleton.

It's almost game over.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to focus.

Wang Lina...is nearby.

Her presence was elusive, like a shadow in the fog, always lurking around him.

Tang Yin wanted to continue along the mountain road, but...

Where is the road?

He frowned and looked around.

The once familiar mountain path has long been swallowed by thick fog. The shadows of the trees are blurred and deformed in the fog, and the surrounding scenery has become strange and weird.

Sense of direction, cognitive ability, judgment...all have been exhausted.

The disordered sense of space gave him an uneasy illusion - as if no matter which direction he went, he would return to the starting point.

...If he hadn't exhausted his sanity, perhaps he could really have escaped?

pity--

No.

This mountain is indeed another world.

Even though humans have left insignificant traces here, it still belongs to the edge of the Kirigakure Village and the hunting ground of Qianmingjin.

And in this hunting ground, the only one who can move freely is——

"I can't wait any longer, so I'll come down to find you."

Wang Lina's voice suddenly came from above.

Tang Yin's pupils suddenly contracted.

--How can it be?!
Her breath has always been coming from the bottom of the mountain!

But now, she was standing on top of the mountain, looking down at him condescendingly.

He looked up suddenly and saw a blurry figure through the swirling fog.

Wang Lina stood high on the hillside, looking down at him, a happy smile on her lips.

"I won."

She spoke softly, her tone as gentle as the whisper of lovers.

"Then die in my hands with love."

--no!
Tang Yin's body reacted instinctively, he turned around and ran wildly down the cliff!

"come on! Come on!"

Wang Lina smiled happily, her voice echoing in the mist, as if encouraging a runner about to sprint to the finish line.

She was enjoying the hunt, savoring every second of her prey's desperate struggle.

Tang Yin's steps staggered and his consciousness was confused, but he knew that he couldn't stop!

He suddenly jumped down the hillside, slid down along the soft soil, and fell down along with the landslide!
Mud, gravel, and broken branches tumbled behind him like a small avalanche.

The surrounding bushes scraped his skin madly, and the sharp branches left bloody marks on his arms and cheeks.

But he no longer had the energy to care.

“So cute, so cute!”

Wang Lina's voice was still clear, and she was still chasing him with light steps, not even a trace of panic.

She is enjoying it all.

And Tang Yin was almost falling down.

Here comes the wolf.

Whether it was because Tang Yin's vision was blurring or because the fog was thickening, the world before him seemed distorted and unreal. His steps stumbled, his consciousness teetering between intense pain and weakness.

Then, he tripped over something.

The moment he lost his balance, he didn't even have the strength to support himself, and fell heavily onto the wet earth. The cold seeped into his skin through his tattered clothes, and the smell of blood filled the air.

"Aha."

A light laugh sounded in the fog, as if admiring a perfect hunt.

Tang Yin's fingers trembled slightly, and he used his last bit of strength to move his body so that he was facing her.

——The wolf is coming.

To devour his flesh and soul.

Wang Lina stood there, facing the fog, her crimson pupils gleaming eerily in the night. The corners of her mouth curled up, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation, like a beast that had finally cornered its prey.

Tang Yin has indeed won the banquet, at least... please redeem Tang Yin's soul, Your Highness the Mountain God.

He has endured so much pain, can he be given an easy ending at this last moment?

……impossible.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly.

This world is not so gentle.

This is not the ending he wanted.

However, the wolf's fangs did not pierce his body.

The moment the dagger in Wang Lina's hand fell, a slender figure suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Tang Yin.

"—!"

The sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed clearly in the night.

Warm liquid splashed out and landed on Tang Yin's cheek, carrying with it the fishy and sweet smell unique to the passing of life.

Flower dew.

Tang Yin's eyes widened and his breathing suddenly stopped.

Why...is she here?

"……Why?"

Tang Yin squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Why are you still alive?

Hua Lu's face was pale and her lips trembled slightly, but she still showed a gentle smile.

She lowered her head and looked at the dagger in her chest. Blood slowly flowed down the blade, staining her clothes red.

"Because...I like you."

Her voice was so soft, as if it would disappear into the mist at any moment.

"Feel sorry……"

Tang Yin said another sentence.

He witnessed the end of this time.

I don’t know if it’s because the murder weapon was stuck in the ribs, but the blade could neither be inserted nor pulled out.

Hua Lu's hand trembled slightly, and she slowly raised it and held Wang Lina's wrist.

"Wang Lina."

Her voice became soft and quiet because of the constant coughing up of blood, as if it was just an ordinary night and she was whispering the other person's name by the window.

"Your pollution—leave it to me."

Wang Lina's pupils shrank slightly, and the smile on her face finally disappeared.

"What do you know?!"

Her voice suddenly rose, almost screaming.

"No matter what we do, the pollution of Kirigakure and the underworld will bind Tang Yin——!!"

Tang Yin could not understand the meaning of this sentence.

But he knew it was important.

Will he remember this sentence next time?

The two blurry figures entangled in the fog, and Hua Lu's hand accidentally touched Wang Lina's chest.

Her fingertips seemed to be grasping something.

It feels cold, like a pendant?
Hua Lu's eyes changed slightly.

"This is……?"

Wang Lina's body trembled violently, and a rare look of panic appeared on her face.

"No—don't look!"

She immediately let go of the kitchen knife, reached out to grab the pendant, and held it tightly in her arms, as if protecting something most important.

Tang Yin's heart was beating wildly. He knew that he had touched upon a real taboo.
