Chapter 145 Our Love Has Not Been Devoured
Lu Hui answered irrelevantly, "Brother, you should know that this was his own choice."
"Although I don't know how to get in, you know you can't just barge in, right?"
"There will be only one consequence if we force our way in: Jiang Qi will be trapped inside forever."
Before Lu Hui could say anything more, Lu Zhi calmed down, but he couldn't bear to see his brother get hurt.
Brother, please stop torturing yourself.
As Lu Zhi and Lu Hui were talking, night had fallen in the world where Jiang Qi was.
The corridor was dark and narrow, with the lights flickering on and off.
The young man's footsteps were hurried and loud. He ran out of the stairwell without regard for anything else, and the sweat on his forehead dripped onto the ground, making a slight sound.
Behind him, the tall Lu Zhi held a dagger, his eyes were cold, and he walked steadily, closely following Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi rushed to the elevator and frantically pressed the buttons.
The elevator was marked as being on the first floor, but the doors seemed to open unusually slowly.
Jiang Qi's heart raced, and he could almost hear the echo of Lu Zhi's footsteps, each step feeling like it was pounding on his heart.
Suddenly, a piercing sound broke the silence, deeply stimulating Jiang Qi's tense nerves.
The man's dagger scraped against the wall, sparks flying.
Jiang Qi turned his head and saw a cruel smile on Lu Zhi's lips.
The blade in his hand moved slowly along the bloodstains on the wall.
Lu Zhi was in no hurry to end it all, as if he was enjoying this cat-and-mouse game.
Jiang Qi's breathing became heavy, and he saw the reflection of the elevator door in his eyes. He just needed to wait for the elevator door to open.
But behind him, the shadow of death was quietly approaching.
The elevator dinged and the doors slowly opened.
Jiang Qi rushed into the elevator with lightning speed and frantically pressed the close button.
Lu Zhi appeared at the elevator entrance, the dagger reflecting a cold light under the lamp.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, the man's well-defined knuckles suddenly reached in, trying to stop the doors from closing.
However, the elevator doors slowly closed, blocking out Lu Zhi's gloomy face.
Jiang Qi leaned against the elevator wall, panting heavily.
As the elevator slowly ascended, Jiang Qi was filled with complex emotions.
This farce of him chasing and him fleeing should have ended long ago.
The elevator went straight to the seventh floor. Jiang Qi squinted and limped out of the elevator.
Lu Zhiyi couldn't come up for a while, which bought him some time, but not much.
The iron gate leading to the rooftop was rusty due to long-term neglect; the paint was peeling off and the gate was covered in rust.
Without hesitation, Jiang Qi, standing in front of the iron gate, kicked it hard, and the iron gate creaked open slowly.
The young man's figure stood out in the twilight, his steps steady yet resolute.
He walked through the iron gate and headed straight for the edge of the rooftop, where it was empty and deserted, with only the night sky for company.
The wind on the rooftop was much stronger; the night wind howled, whipping his hair and scattering it in the air.
Jiang Qi's face appeared somewhat pale in the dim light, and his eyes held unspeakable emotions.
He walked to the railing, sat down quietly, and dangled his legs in the air.
The city unfolded beneath Jiang Qi's feet, with the lights of countless homes blending with the night to create a magnificent scene.
After a while, Jiang Qi took out a small knife from his pocket, the blade gleaming coldly in the dim light.
Without hesitation, he pointed the knife at his arm and began to slowly slash it.
Every scratch is meticulous, as if it were a work of art.
The new wound slowly overlapped with the old scar.
Blood beads slowly seeped out as the blade moved, carried by the night breeze, bringing a touch of coolness.
Every time the blade touched his skin, Jiang Qi remained expressionless.
Tap tap tap, Lu Zhi also arrived at the rooftop.
The young man supported himself on his palms and slowly straightened up.
Turning back, she smiled brightly at Lu Zhi and said lightly.
"Lu Zhi, you've finally arrived!"
Lu Zhi stood there silently, staring at the young man standing on the edge of the rooftop.
He saw that Jiang Qi's eyes seemed to be filled with a deep sense of determination.
Jiang Qi gently opened his hands to the left and right, like a bird about to spread its wings and fly, fragile yet free.
As he moved, the wind became even more violent, whipping up the surrounding dust and paper as if to devour everything.
In the fierce wind, the young man's body appeared unusually thin.
His figure swayed in the wind, giving Lu Zhi the illusion that he might be carried away by the wind at any moment.
However, at this moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
After the smile, the young man began to lean back, and slowly, as if time itself slowed down at that moment.
Finally, Jiang Qi's body collapsed silently.
As I passed through the railing, it seemed as if the whole world stood still.
A look of astonishment appeared on Lu Zhi's face across from him.
His hand instinctively reached out and lunged forward, trying to grab the youth, but he missed.
They could only watch helplessly as the young man disappeared beyond the railing.
In a moment of desperation, Lu Zhi jumped off the building with Jiang Qi.
In the instant of falling through the air, the wind howled in my ears like a roaring train, moving at a speed that made it almost impossible to think.
But Lu Zhi only had eyes for the young man who was falling.
At this moment, his heart was filled with overwhelming sorrow and intense pain.
Where does this emotion come from? It clearly takes over this body and controls my consciousness, so why is it like this?
It cannot understand this emotion.
Everything I'm doing now is the work of the body's original owner.
At this moment, only the figure of the young man remained in Lu Zhi's world; everything else became blurry and distant.
Hurry up, we're almost there.
A voice kept echoing in my mind.
Finally, he caught up with his own brother.
Lu Zhi pulled Jiang Qi into his arms, and Jiang Qi actually hugged him back.
You will fall with me, like a stone falling into a tomb.
But our love was not devoured.
The earth will continue to coexist with us.
The two of them fell into the night wind until they disappeared into the darkness below.
However, at the last moment, Lu Zhi changed his posture, his movements swift and decisive.
She hugged the young man tightly, placing her body underneath him.
It acts as a buffer, cushioning the violent impact of Jiang Qi hitting the ground.
Accompanied by a harsh friction sound.
Lu Zhi was severely injured as a result. His body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he fell to the ground instantly with a deafening sound.
His body was smashed to pieces, scattered here and there, like a jigsaw puzzle in pieces.
The air was thick with dust and a faint smell of blood, and everything was eerily quiet.
Jiang Qi lay in Lu Zhi's arms, his body trembling slightly from the violent impact.
Lu Zhi protected him until his death.
Slowly, the young man's thin body curled up into a ball, and he let out painful groans.
He trembled, trembling as he raised his hand, trembling as he stroked the cold corpse, silently.
Jiang Qi closed his eyes in despair, leaned forward with all his might, and hugged Lu Zhi's head tightly.
He gently pressed his forehead against the blood-stained forehead, rubbing it again and again.
Lu Hui's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.
He even started to stutter, "You...he..."
Lu Zhi's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Qi on the screen.
"Brother, I understand now. He chose Nightmare. He's punishing himself for forgetting you."
“I’m still thinking that after this incident, the wonderful image you’ve cultivated in front of him is about to be shattered.”
"I really didn't expect that even after being possessed, you would still instinctively try to save him."
