Imperial Treasure

Chapter 518 - 341 Heartbreak_2

Qing Wu!

Just as Sui Yi was about to stab the dark figure with Demon Que, there was a snap!

Suddenly, the figure released their grip.

Sui Yi hit the ground and immediately fled.

But after a few seconds, her expression turned pale.

She saw the small kitchen, and Zhuang Ziliu standing in the middle of it, smiling at her.

Had she run back here?

An illusion or a dream?

She could not escape.

Sui Yi frowned and instead of attacking, she slid Demon Que back into Sword Sheath, one hand supporting herself against the wall, the other lightly covering her mouth.

Blood slowly seeped through her fingers..

There was a lot of blood; her back was completely soaked, the rich scent of blood masking the decayed smell of the place.

Zhuang Ziliu just watched her like that, watching her and the backdrop as the dark figure walked in, grabbed Sui Yi’s arm, and effortlessly, yet ruthlessly, pulled the severely injured woman into the small kitchen.

Ah Guna was still kneeling there, Zhuang Ziliu bent down, half-kneeling on the ground.

As humbly as if they were a speck of dust that had lain on the ground for a thousand years.

Silent and still.

There was a faint light coming through the window, revealing that the dark figure had a thin mist-like mask over their face, like a smokey veil.

The dark figure didn’t care about the two people on the floor, she was just dragging Sui Yi towards the corner of the small kitchen.

Sui Yi’s face changed immediately when she saw the corner.

"Do you remember this place?"

The person spoke, and Sui Yi realized that it was a woman, no, the hand that gripped hers had slender knuckles, soft fingertips... it must be a woman.

Unfortunately, she found it hard to think of her as a person.

Closing her eyes, Sui Yi asked, "Who are you, really?"

"Who am I?..." she laughed softly.

Her voice was raspy and magnetic, like beads that had been ground smooth, not glossy or clear, but hauntingly prolonged, captivating yet terrifying.

Suddenly, she waved her sleeve.

Boom!

A large square tile on the floor cracked into dust with a sweep of her sleeve.

Revealing a dark passage underneath.

Zhuang Ziliu turned to look, his pupils flickering with a murky light, uncertain.

Seeming to hate, to suffer, to be numb, to doubt..

The cloaked figure stepped forward, taking Sui Yi with her as they vanished into the passage.

Descending to the passage, the air was rotting and chilly, Sui Yi closed her eyes, her lips pressed tightly...

"You are afraid~"

The person declared Sui Yi’s restraint with a playful and cruel tone, as if watching a play.

Afraid, was she afraid? How could she not be afraid, this place...

This room, once piled with countless corpses, heads, remains... She had been laid on that table..

That large, large light shining down... a large halo~

That table...

Sui Yi, expressionless, stared at the person’s profile, "Whether I am afraid or not, it doesn’t make you any happier, does it? Otherwise, why wouldn’t you even show your face"

Torturing someone could never bring happiness... right?

Sui Yi had just finished speaking when, boom!

Sui Yi was thrown directly onto the operating table, which now fit her just right.

The blurred flesh on her back made a squelching sound as it violently hit, staining the icy table with a patch of blood red.

The pain made her involuntarily close her eyes.

But it could not overcome the other person grasping her chin.

They locked eyes.

Those pupils were filled with merciless mockery.

"I hate your assured demeanor the most, yet what I enjoy most is seeing you in this extreme pain right now"

Her fingers were slender, her nails sharp, pressing into her collarbone on the shoulder..

Just like piercing tofu,

Thud, the fingers directly penetrated the collarbone...

Ah~~ Sui Yi furrowed her brows deeply, every meridian and nerve in her body tensed up, yet she was unable to move.

"This place must still be fresh in your memory, all your companions died right here... Pain, is it really that easy to forget?"

"Some things, after all, you must remember..."

The fingers like knives, slid down her collarbone, directly cutting towards her heart...

Before the heart was shredded.

Sui Yi suddenly grabbed the other person’s face.

The mask, torn off.

In the midst of severe pain, she saw the other’s face.

Sui Yi’s pupils dilated, but only focused on the other’s expressionless face, her blood spraying onto her face, trickling down along the cheek..

From that point on, all was darkness.

——————

It was hard to tell how much time had passed, perhaps a moment, perhaps a long while, or perhaps those two had never been there at all..

Zhuang Ziliu did not feel any numbness in his legs; he just knelt there, his gaze falling on the ground not far beside him, a spot that had been scorched by fire.. covered in a large patch of filth.

It was the spot where his sister had been killed, where her body lay, also where it had been burned..

Yet now, nothing remained, nothing at all..

In silence, someone came up from below.

"Go down and bring her up.. throw her in the back mountain, but, do not touch her"

Her tone was more frigid than usual, exuding chilling vitality, Zhuang Ziliu dared not speak, yet his fists were slightly clenched.

"What, afraid to go down?" The person glanced at him.

"Self-righteous, deceiving yourself and others, you are no different from her.. but she’s even more foolish than you.."

More foolish than me?

Zhuang Ziliu frowned, bowed his head, "Imperial Crown hasn’t killed her yet, I wonder how Ah Guna will deal with this?"

"You continue to manipulate him.. Don’t let him die.. Let him awaken tomorrow, that will be the most tormenting"

Betrayal, this word wears out people the most.

Zhuang Ziliu nodded.

Watching her walk away...

After a while, he got up, stood at the entrance of the tunnel, stood still for a moment, then walked down.

Corpses strewn everywhere, a long table, Sui Yi laid there.

From the shoulder to the chest, drenched in blood.

It seemed she was already dead.(To be continued. If you enjoy this series, welcome to support us at qidian.com with your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
