The information through the search on the phone pointed to a link of a blog. Blogs used to be the trend for a while but were replaced by Weibo later on. Not many people blogged nowadays.

The searched blog was very old and the article was posted in 2007, which was nearly ten years ago. There was a picture of a ring in the article which had a similar design as the ring in Su Bai’s hand.

En, the explanation stated that it was not a rare item and had a huge gap compared to a diamond ring. It was only that the unique design had a special meaning.

“Oh, it is unexpectedly a couple ornament of the Western Xia dynasty[1]. No wonder it didn’t look like a diamond ring. Looks like it had religious implications. Not bad, not bad. Low key, lavish and very meaningful.

“It is hard to imagine both of you being so romantic.”

Su Bai lifted his hand and held the ring above his head.

Xiao Hui who so happened to sit up saw the ring appear right in front of herself. Her complexion started to turn ashen, and the room temperature started to drop rapidly.

Su Bai minded his own business and continued on:

“Interesting. Meaningful. The person you want to murder should be the guy who owns the other ring, and that guy’s identity isn’t simple. That’s why…” Su Bai shook his head and chuckled. “Such a corny plot. Wang Xue, can you be more mature? Isn’t Women’s Rights trending recently? you should go learn from them. That way, you wouldn’t end up like this.”

Up until now, it is already very clear that Wang Xue was dating a guy in school, but something must have happened in the end. Wang Xue planned to get revenge and murder him. When Wang Xue suggested the murder game, the other three girls joined to seek excitement, but Wang Xue had marked the target long ago. It was not to kill herself but her ex-lover.

You have to say, it was a stylish type of person who could find this type of ring and knew how to use it as a token of love. Where would normal people flip through ancient books of Western Xia and research Western Xia culture?

Western Xia was wiped out from the annals of history until a scholar in the late Qing dynasty[2] discovered traces of Western Xia dynasty. Soon after, Russian explorers and Russian historians conducted research and excavations and finally found the existence of Western Xia. A majority of people nowadays know Western Xia through many of Louis Cha’s[3] novels, but research towards Western Xia wasn’t feasible twenty years ago. To be proficient towards Western Xia culture during that era, the level of classiness was like discussing about space technology highbrow with the people of this era.

…

Xu Jiacheng who was wearing a white suit sat in a restaurant opposite Chu Zhao’s housing area. His aunt was sitting opposite him.

He took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his aunt’s mouth. His aunt returned Xu Jiacheng a smile as she held his hand tightly. It could be seen that she was nervous.

“Aunt, it’s alright. Even if she had an outburst and seeks you for revenge, I’m still here to obstruct her.”

Xu Jiacheng used his other hand to hold a cup of orange juice and took a sip. He had an obscure gaze. Qin Yiming’s failure was out of his expectation. It was hard for him to imagine that a vicious and merciless gambler who had 6 task completions would die at the hands of an audience who merely had 2 task completions. Furthermore, the other party could still continue jumping around energetically to complete the reality task.

Xu Jiacheng didn’t really care about the loss of the blood jade. What he cared about was his aunt. Someone who took care of him from young, a woman who was more like his mother than his biological mother. She was even Xu Jiacheng’s woman. She was his trusted and beloved, be it spiritually or physically. That’s why he would not allow the after-effects of this incident to affect his aunt.

He really could disregard everything for her.

Xu Jiacheng felt rage as well as deep helplessness when he sensed the originally withering aura suddenly starting to rapidly rise at that small district.

He went a step further and entered that home. Not long ago, Aunt Lily who just passed away had resurrected by borrowing a corpse. Seemed like Dreadful Radio’s reality task influence had gathered up those people from so many years ago, whether they were humans or ghosts.

Even an audience with 10 completed task like Xu Jiacheng who could have premonitions about certain things had responded, but he still had no way of obstructing Dreadful Radio’s plans behind the scenes.

He had already dispersed Aunt Lily’s soul and personally used his own methods to ‘straighten up’ and ‘dissolve’ Wang Xue’s resentment. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

But now, what was supposed to have completely ended actually revived once more. Xu Jiacheng had already tried his best not to directly influence the process of the reality task. He might be entangled by a little karma, but it was still within an acceptable range. He dared not directly get involved with this incident. That’s why he used the blood jade as a reward to invite Qin Yiming to take action. It was a huge hurdle for those with 10 completed task. Xu Jiacheng was worried he would be entangled by huge karma during this critical juncture, and it would be hard to live through the next story world. At that time, who would take care of his aunt?

Putting down the orange juice, Xu Jiacheng’s brows were still tightly knitted. He was hesitating and indecisive as well as feeling embittered at the same time. It was just a reality task. How meaningful would it be to kiss Dreadful Radio’s a**?

Why insist on reigniting the flames I extinguished!

…

Su Bai was still unaware that he had reignited the flames someone else just extinguished. Even if he knew, he would still continue on with a higher motivation regardless of gaining the largest benefit. Perhaps giving up on the reality task and extorting the other party would reap the most benefits, but Su Bai would still choose to ignite the flames. Who asked that person to hire others to kill him?

It wasn’t Su Bai’s first time doing things that harmed others without benefitting himself. Furthermore, there were still benefits for completing the reality task, weren’t there?

Wang Xue’s face had turned very sinister. Her resentment had been ignited by Su Bai. She reached out and held the ring in her hands.

“Reality task completed.”

Dreadful Radio’s voice prompted in Su Bai’s mind. Su Bai let out a sigh of relief. The pressing business was finally over. Su Bai clapped his buttocks, stood up and looked at Wang Xue or, she should be called, Xiao Hui. Her hair was fluttering, and her resentment was so thick that water could drip out.

Maybe there was a profound meaning when Xiao Hui passed him the ring. The obsessed item had always been with her, but Wang Xue’s resentful spirit had lost a lot of memories. Only the obsessed item combined with the truth, or so to speak, combined with the image of that man could be used as the true item of fetter.

Two rows of bloody tears flowed down from Xiao Hui’s eyes.

Su Bai lowered his head without speaking and gently pushed open the window. The skies outside were a little dark; flashes of lightning could be seen at a distance.

Su Bai recalled the monk triggering celestial lightning to defeat the Zombie King in the last story world.

Even the Zombie King was scared sh*tless by the celestial lightning. Even Wang Xue was unable to hide from it because it wasn’t triggered by the unreliable Fatty.

Perhaps this was Dreadful Radio’s intention of liberation, not allowing Wang Xue to dissipate after relieving herself but to patch up her lost memories and fully stimulate her. To vanish into thin air by the celestial lightning!

Su Bai suddenly remembered a line Dreadful Radio would always mention, ‘good and evil will always be rewarded’.

Thinking about this, Su Bai’s lips curved into a smile.

Dreadful Radio that always promoted positive energy in a deadpan manner was actually crueler, more ruthless and more unreasonable than anyone.

“Is Lily dead?”

Wang Xue asked.

Her voice was unfathomable, like a sound from hell.

Su Bai nodded his head. “You two should have chatted.”

“How about Red?” Wang Xue continued asking.

Su Bai waved the note in his hand. “This is what she left behind. She never got married.”

“How about the final person, Yuan?”

Su Bai shrugged his shoulders. “I do not know, do you?”

Wang Xue nodded her head earnestly and walked to the window.

Despite being a vampire, Su Bai still felt an unbearable chill while standing beside Wang Xue.

“She is sitting just outside. Both of us had always kept in contact. I am her nightmare.”

“There is actually no need to.” Su Bai said, “You do not have much time left. In the end, the celestial lightning will strike, and you will vanish. Your niece will also perish along with you, what’s the point?

“Your parents are still alive. You can make use of the time to visit them. If it is too distant, tell me if there is any message you wish to pass to them. By the way, I don’t have many things, but I do have a lot of money.”

Wang Xue looked at Su Bai. “You are even more cold-blooded than me, you should understand me. If the people at that time killed you and you had an opportunity to awaken, what would you do?”

Su Bai sigh and shook his head. He then revealed a grieved expression and answered word by word, “Kill her whole family.”

Wang Xue laughed. Her teeth had already turned red; her laughter was very mournful.

“YES! KILL HER WHOLE FAMILY!”

Wang Xue’s body transformed into a gust of black wind and left through the window.

Su Bai did not feel frustrated on failing to advise her, instead, he did not care at all.

He took out his phone and called Aroma:

“Hello, how are things at your side?”

“Let’s not talk about this yet. Let me ask you this. Hushang University, class of ’94 specializing in the history faculty and currently famous. Who would you think of?”

Aroma did not hesitate to mention a name.

Su Bai gulped down his saliva and exhaled.

“Now I can really understand those three girls. Heh heh. If it was me, I would also stop that crazy woman.”
