Then let the witch offer her loyalty

The roads were quite congested during the evening rush hour, and it was almost 7 p.m. by the time I reached the foot of Qishi Mountain.

The destination, a party villa, is located on a mountaintop, requiring about a half-hour drive along a mountain road.

Luo Lingyou was probably tired from work; he had been sleeping in the passenger seat until they drove onto the mountain road, at which point he opened his eyes.

"Mio, you're awake." Wang Hui smiled apologetically. "This mountain road is winding and bumpy, so you might not be able to sleep well. Should I drive slower?"

Luo Lingyou shook his head, looking at the drizzling rain outside the window, and said, "Drive faster, I'm going to be late."

"Okay, okay." Wang Hui quickly added some gas to the car.

The engine roared, and the tires sped through the puddles, kicking up a trail of water mist.

Wang Hui usually enjoys racing with his friends, and he has driven on mountain roads quite often. Coupled with his sycophantic mentality, he was in excellent condition and drove fast and steadily.

"Wang Hui." Just as Wang Hui was focused on driving, Luo Miaoyou's voice suddenly rang out, "Was your childhood happy?"

"...Huh?" Wang Hui was momentarily stunned by the sudden shift to such a serious topic. "Um...it was alright, what's wrong?"

Luo Lingyou rested her arm on the doorknob, propped her chin on her hand, and looked out the window, as if lost in memories of the past: "My childhood was terrible, unhappiness was the norm."

"Later, when I finally found some happiness, my mother killed it off."

"Of course, I don't hate my mother. I lost my father when I was young, and she raised me all by herself and sacrificed a lot. I love her very much."

"But you know, people are always very rebellious, and I'm no exception. The more she stifles my true self, the stronger that desire in my heart becomes."

"Desire...desire?" Wang Hui was speechless.

This word...sounds a bit strange?

Did I misunderstand?

Must I have misunderstood?

“Yes, desire.” Luo Lingyou slowly turned his head, his eyes, reflecting the faint light, appearing and disappearing in the darkness. “Ever since I was old enough to understand, that desire has been churning in my blood.”

“My mother has been trying her best to suppress it for me. She thinks that if that thing is released, it will lead me astray. A good child should never have that kind of desire.”

"But I know very well that the desire cannot be suppressed and will eventually erupt. For example, right now, I really want to release it."

The wind, carrying rain, pounded against the car windows. The wipers swung rapidly, creating brief glimpses of clear vision before being blurred again by the onslaught of rain.

Wang Hui was completely dumbfounded. He felt a surge of heat rush to the top of his head, his whole body was burning hot, his mouth was dry, and his forehead was even steaming.

He swallowed hard, forcing a smile, "Well... I must have misunderstood, right? The desire you're talking about... isn't it... that kind of desire?"

Luo Lingyou shifted her position, turning to face the driver's seat like a soft, boneless kitten, looking at him with her mysterious, unfathomable crimson eyes: "What else could it be? Of course, I only have one desire."

"Do you know why I asked you to drive me? Because I've thought it over, and I want to give you my first time."

The car sped along the mountain road, the engine under the hood roaring, the revs soaring, and the tires screeching sharply as they rubbed against the puddles.

Wang Hui could barely hold the steering wheel, and at one point he wondered if he had been depressed for too long, leading to a split personality, and that this scene was just a hallucination before his death.

"Mio...Mio Yuu...you're kidding, right? I have a heart condition..."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Or are you saying you don't want my virginity right now?"

Wang Hui felt his blood surging, his veins almost bursting, and his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to leap out of his chest.

"Now...now? You mean...here...in the car?"

"Yes, it's in your car."

"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Wang Hui slapped himself hard several times, the burning pain in his cheeks telling him that this was not a dream or a hallucination.

His whole body was trembling with excessive excitement, his eyes were almost red, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Um... I want to confirm... the first time you mentioned... is it the first time I'm thinking of?"

In the darkness, Luo Lingyou leaned out, her red lips close to Wang Hui's ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Yes, it's the first time you're thinking of."

"Boom——"

Thunder rumbled in, as if the entire sky had been torn apart, and the lightning that followed instantly illuminated the interior of the carriage.

Luo Lingyou's exquisite face was clearly visible in the lightning, and a red light reflected in his rose-red eyes, as if thick blood was surging within them.

"First time killing someone."

Chapter 191 Born Bad

The moment he finished speaking, Luo Lingyou reached back and unfastened Wang Hui's safety buckle, then grabbed the steering wheel and yanked it sharply.

The car was already going fast, and the road was slippery due to the rain. The sudden sharp turn caused the tires to go out of control, and the entire car slid sideways, crashed through the highway guardrail, and plunged off the cliff.

"Boom!" The falling vehicle crashed violently into the rugged, steep slope. The front axle broke instantly, followed by shattered windows and structural deformation. The entire vehicle rolled wildly on the steep cliff, each roll exploding a large number of metal fragments.

The change came so suddenly that Wang Hui didn't even have time to utter a cry of alarm.

"Bang!" The airbag deployed from the dashboard and pressed against his body.

But this small buffer is almost meaningless in the face of such an impact force.

Without the protection of the seatbelt, Wang Hui's body was tossed up and down like a ball in the constantly rolling car. His ribs hit the door panel directly, and the back of his head hit the ceiling hard and bounced back down. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

"Click! Thump! Bang bang bang—"

The sounds of bones breaking and the impact of the inner walls mingled together. Wang Hui's entire body twisted, dented, and burst during the collisions, becoming a bloody and gruesome mess.

After rolling countless times, and finally, after several heavy impacts, the vehicle plunged headfirst into a pile of rocks on the mountainside, making a final, heavy thud.

"Boom——"

The completely deformed chassis was half-embedded in the mud and rocks, the engine slammed shut with a mournful cry, and thick black smoke billowed violently from the engine, rising and swirling with the rain.

The valley fell silent, with only the monotonous and eerie sound of rain pounding on the vehicles.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud "thud" suddenly came from the passenger seat of the wrecked vehicle. The half-open door was forced open from the inside, and a battered figure crawled out.

Although Luo Lingyou was wearing a seatbelt, she was still badly injured. There was a long bloodstain from the corner of her eye to her temple, and half of her face was almost completely stained with blood.

The torn white shirt clung to her body like a rag, and her neck was ripped open by the seatbelt, the skin and flesh rolled up all around. The rain diluted the bloodstains into large, mottled red marks that trickled down from her collarbone.

With blood and rainwater mixed between her teeth, Luo Lingyou gasped for breath. Blood and mud mingled on the ground. She struggled for a while before finally managing to stand up, only to slip and fall to the ground again.

She crawled through the mud until she finally reached a tree. She used her hands to support herself and managed to stand up and steady herself.

The torrential rain poured down, and Luo Lingyou stood still, letting the rain wash over him. His scarred hand slowly ran through his rain-soaked hair, then suddenly swept it back—

She raised her head to face the icy rain, her eyes devoid of fear and pain, only displaying a chilling, manic ecstasy, her blood-stained face flushed with a sickly redness.

"Ha—haha—haahahaha!!"

She burst into hysterical laughter in the rain, choking on several mouthfuls of blood halfway through her laughter. Her whole body heaved violently from coughing, but her laughter did not subside at all, as if she felt no pain whatsoever.

That exquisite yet ferocious face was contorted with extreme excitement, a terrifying beauty, like a monster sealed in human skin, breaking free from the shackles that had bound it since childhood.

Luo Lingyou walked to the nearby stream, raised his hand, tore off the transparent tape that had been stuck to his ten fingers to cover his fingerprints, and threw it into the water to wash it away.

She then slowly walked to the completely wrecked car and looked inside.

Wang Hui was in a terrible state. His body was covered in mud, glass shards, and blood, his limbs were bent and twisted, his bones were piercing through his skin between his joints, his chest cavity was collapsed, and black blood was constantly flowing from his mouth and nose.

Luo Lingyou stood in the pouring rain, his body covered in blood and mud, but his expression was one of sickly pleasure and relaxation as he smiled at the dying Wang Hui.

It's like a cat that has just finished hunting, admiring its prey.

Whether it was lucky or unlucky, Wang Hui, despite being in such a state, didn't die on the spot and was still clinging to his last breath.

Those eyes, with their ruptured capillaries, trembled incessantly as they looked with difficulty at Luo Lingyou, their gaze filled with fear, pain, and lingering confusion.

His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out; only intermittent moans escaped from his throat.

The voice seemed to be asking—why?

Luo Lingyou tilted her head, as if she understood. She reached out and wiped the bleeding wound on her forehead with her finger. Looking at the bright red blood on her fingertip, she casually put it into her mouth and sucked it away.

She slowly leaned down to look at Wang Hui, her crimson eyes reflecting the distant lightning in the night sky, eerie and profound.

"Dare to touch my toy... If you don't die, who will?"

Wang Hui did not know what these words meant, and he would never have the chance to understand them.

He exhaled his last breath, and his whole body collapsed as if it had suddenly fallen apart. His bloodshot eyes lost focus and remained motionless.

Luo Lingyou stepped forward and placed the back of his finger on Wang Hui's carotid artery to confirm that there were no vital signs before walking to an open space.

She lay on her back on the waterlogged and muddy ground, the cold rain pelting her face and body, each wound stinging as the rain seeped in.

But she didn't frown at all; instead, she slightly opened her arms, as if enjoying the cleansing effect of nature.

After a while, she took out her phone from her wet coat pocket, swiped her finger across the cracked screen, tapped the contact labeled "Mom," and dialed.

"Beep-beep-"

Soon, the call was connected.

"Youyou, what's wrong?"

A gentle, magnetic female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Luo Lingyou still wore that crazy and eerie smile on his face, but the voice that came out of his mouth was trembling with sobs, like a child trembling with fear.

"Mom...I was in a car accident..."

...

In the dead of night, a torrential downpour began.

"Jingle Bell--"

The phone rang, and Chen Moxin and Dong Xiaobai opened their eyes one after the other.

Chen Moxin picked up her work phone and took a look.

It was Yang Jie who answered the phone.

He went to the balcony and pressed the answer button: "Team Leader Yang."

On the other end of the phone, Yang Jie's urgent voice came through: "Chen Moxin, Luo Lingyou was in a car accident and is in the city's central hospital now. You should come over too."

Chen Moxin frowned and immediately went back to her room to change into her pajamas.

Seeing Chen Mo looking anxious, Dong Xiaobai sat up in bed and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"It's okay, you can go back to sleep. I'm going out for a bit." Chen Moxin changed her clothes and quickly left.

He drove at breakneck speed through the rainy night. It was late at night and there was little traffic on the road. He arrived at the city center hospital in half an hour.

Outside the emergency center, buses were parked and packed with people—leaders from the Bureau of Administration, the court, the police department, the Ministry of the Interior, the military… all the government departments of the Twin Cities had come.

Chen Moxin spotted Yang Jie in the crowd and immediately ran over: "Captain Yang, is she alright?"

Yang Jie nodded to Chen Moxin: "The doctor examined him. The injury is quite serious, but fortunately it's all superficial. There's no serious damage to the internal organs, so he should be fine."

The man next to Yang Jie sighed deeply: "What a relief! I was terrified when I received the call from the hospital."

As if he had just thought of something, Yang Jie pointed his palm at the man and said to Chen Moxin, "Oh right, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Yan Yong, a senior judge in the Twin Cities Court, and Luo Miaoyou's direct superior."

"Old Yan, he is Chen Moxin, whom I told you about. He is the most promising of the new generation of hunters."

Yan Yong nodded to Chen Moxin, and the two shook hands.

Chen Moxin pressed further, "How did Luo Lingyou get into the car accident?"

Yang Jie replied, "After get off work today, she took Wang Hui's car to Qishi Mountain to have a party with her friends. It was raining and the road was slippery. The car skidded and fell off a cliff halfway there."

"Wait a minute," Chen Moxin interrupted, puzzled. "Wang Hui? Luo Miaoyou is in Wang Hui's car?"

Near the end of the workday, Chen Moxin was outside handling other matters and was not in the office.

He couldn't understand why Luo Miaoyou would let Wang Hui drive her.

Yang Jie explained, "I heard from people in the office that Luo Miaoyou originally only wanted Wang Hui to help her get to the bus stop, but Wang Hui insisted on taking her up the mountain, and she couldn't refuse, so she agreed."

Chen Moxin was silent for a moment, then continued, "What's the situation on the ground? How is Wang Hui now?"

Yan Yong took over the conversation and said helplessly, "The traffic police have investigated the scene. The car skidded at a bend near the cliff and crashed through the guardrail and fell down."

"There were no signs of a third party causing the accident; it was just a simple out-of-control car crash. The tire tracks on the ground were very long, so the car must have been going quite fast at the time."

"I don't know what got into Wang Hui. He drove so fast in the rain and didn't even wear a seatbelt. He was hit and killed on the spot and is now lying in the morgue."

A strange, profound look flashed in Chen Moxin's eyes. He nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Where is Luo Lingyou now?
