Chapter 50: Yu Mo
Lu Feng had been completely misled by the rules.
He naively believed he was in the safest time, yet little did he know that he was the one closest to death.
The Evil Spirit lunged at him with a ferocious grin.
Lu Feng’s blood froze instantly in his veins, making it unbearably difficult even to take a single step.
What else could he do!? What else could he do!!!??
What on earth could he do to survive!!!!?
At the brink of death, Lu Feng’s mind spun frantically, yet this time… he had truly reached a dead end.
The notebook had long since disappeared, and the means of restricting the Evil Spirit’s attack no longer existed.
At this moment, what Lu Feng faced was a true deathtrap, a situation with no possibility of survival.
It was over…
Lu Feng understood that his life was about to end here.
He could only pray that his death would not be too painful…
Now, he could only entrust the hope of winning the game to the ones who remained.
By this point, Lu Feng became calm instead, accepting the fact of his impending death with composure.
He gave up thinking, slowly closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the moment death arrived.
However, just before Lu Feng was about to close his eyes, a slender figure, carrying the determination of death itself, rushed in front of him.
The Evil Spirit was instantly drawn to her, shifting its attack toward her instead.
Lu Feng’s nearly closed eyes snapped wide open.
He reached out in shock, wanting to push the person before him away—
But compared to the Evil Spirit, his movements were unbearably slow, like slow motion.
Within a single breath, the Evil Spirit had already reached the two of them.
“No…”
The next moment, blood splattered, and crimson liquid gushed out from the girl’s mouth.
A pale, withered hand had pierced straight through her chest in an instant.
That ghastly hand was drenched in the girl’s fresh blood, dripping down from its sharp nails, drop by drop.
“No!!!!”
The next moment, the Evil Spirit violently pulled its hand out from the gaping hole in the girl’s chest.
With its movement, the girl spat out blood once again.
Blood surged from her mouth like a spring, flowing down her arm, dripping to the ground, splashing into blooming flowers of crimson.
The girl’s pupils gradually lost focus.
Her gentle, beautiful face drained of color, replaced by the ashen pallor of death.
In the final moment before her life faded away, the girl slowly turned her head, looking toward the boy behind her.
Time seemed to freeze.
Looking at his face, a faint smile appeared on her lips, as past memories flashed before her eyes like a slideshow—
From the moment she was born, Yu Mo had been different from others.
Although at that time she had no self-awareness and could not even open her eyes, from the moment of birth she could remember everything she heard by her ears.
Back in the hospital’s nursery, she already possessed memory.
Then, all that surrounded her ears day after day were the endless cries.
She remembered it clearly.
The only thing that gave her a sense of peace at that time was a tiny life beside her, one that had been born just a few days earlier than her—
“How strange, this baby never cries, no matter what.”
“Yeah, more than once I was scared something was wrong. I broke into a cold sweat…”
“This baby… what’s his name again?”
“I think it was… Lu… Feng?”
Yes, that was their true first meeting, and it was the secret Yu Mo had always hidden deep within her heart—while that silly boy probably thought it had been on some rainy day in his memory.
Time flew by, years passed in a blink, and the once infants had already grown to ten years old.
In that year, she experienced family changes.
Afterwards, she moved into a new home with her father and, as if destined by fate, encountered once again that strange “baby” from the same nursery.
“Lu Feng, come home for dinner!”
On the day she moved into the new home, a voice called out the name she had remembered.
“Oh, coming.”
Following the voice, Yu Mo looked in surprise at the little boy playing downstairs.
In an instant, she knew he was that “baby”—
That faintly cold, rebellious aura had not changed one bit since he was an “infant.”
After that, they truly got to know each other on that rainy day in Lu Feng’s memory.
…
Her vision gradually narrowed, finally sinking into her dimming pupils.
The girl’s body lost all its strength and collapsed into Lu Feng’s arms.
The Evil Spirit gave a piercing “cluck cluck cluck” laugh, greedily licking the blood on its hand.
Its pale, twisted body writhed as it slowly retreated into the shadows.
At last, it vanished beneath the bleak moonlight.
In Lu Feng’s arms, Yu Mo had already stopped breathing.
A massive hole had been pierced through her chest, her once beating heart ripped apart by the Evil Spirit in an instant.
Yu Mo was dead.
Lu Feng stared blankly at the girl in his arms, now just a corpse.
Her blood, cooling yet still flowing, continued to gush endlessly from her body.
Everything before his eyes felt like the most terrifying nightmare, so horrific that he could not believe it.
“Yu Mo… Yu Mo…”
Lu Feng called out softly, hoping for her lively reply as always.
But the girl’s life had vanished.
Her eyes were tightly closed, never again to shine with their usual brilliance.
“…”
Lu Feng fell into silence.
He held the girl’s corpse and sat quietly on the grass, letting the cold moonlight wash over his entire body.
At this moment, footsteps approached slowly toward them, finally stopping beside Lu Feng.
Lu Feng raised his head, his eyes dim, and looked at the newcomer—
“Liuli…”
Liuli crouched down, her face expressionless as she looked at him.
“Stand up, Lu Feng.”
“…”
But he gave no response.
“She died to save you. If you want her to come back to life, then win this game.” Liuli spoke softly.
“…So, you watched her rush forward, didn’t you?”
“…”
This time, it was Liuli’s turn to remain silent.
“…Why didn’t you stop her?”
Lu Feng asked coldly.
“Because… only you can find the way to win this game… You must live on.” Liuli replied softly.
“…”
Then came silence, long and heavy.
In that silence, the girl’s corpse gradually grew colder.
After a long time, Lu Feng carried Yu Mo’s body in his arms, slowly stood up, and turned to walk toward the old mansion.
His voice was calm to the point of being frightening as he said,
“I will win this game. And you—”
He turned his head, looking coldly at the girl behind him,
“—I hope you don’t die… Liuli.”
With that, he left without looking back, leaving Liuli alone under the pale moonlight.
The girl’s slender figure looked lonely and desolate in the moonlight.
A soft breeze lifted her long hair, as if soothing her sorrowful smile.
“This… is enough.”
She murmured softly to herself.
PS: People like Yu Mo truly exist.
Those with such extraordinary memory ability are called Hyperthymesia patients.
Their learning and thinking abilities are the same as normal people, but their memory far surpasses ordinary limits, even retaining memories from the time they were born.
At present, there are only six people with Hyperthymesia in the world.
