There were only two people left in the empty tavern.

"Brother, please leave quickly!" Yu Beichen shouted in pain. She did not dare to raise her head, only the tears from the corners of her eyes fell drop by drop, staining the cold ground.

Her hands were shaking, her body was shaking, and even her normally calm heart was shaking.

There was only blood in her vision, and a voice sounded from nowhere, urging her constantly.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

It was as if at this moment, she was no longer Yu Beichen, but turned into a cold machine that only knew how to kill.

Even though she has such great strength now, at this moment, she is too fragile to be attacked, and she is just struggling against the control of the evil curse.

"Chen'er..."

That was my brother's voice.

As gentle as in memory.

However, she could no longer throw herself into his arms, shake his arms and act sweetly.

She knew that as long as she got close to him, she would stab his heart with the dagger in her hand without hesitation.

No, I can't...

Everyone in this world deserves to die, everyone can die, except my brother.

We agreed to become stronger, never to be a burden to my brother again, but to stay by his side and fight alongside him.

But what am I doing now?

Yu Beichen threw the daggers in her hand away in fear, and then in the next second she crawled over and picked them up in a daze, repeating this process over and over again.

Over and over again.

"Brother, why don't you leave!" Yu Beichen cried weakly and helplessly, using up almost all his strength.

Just like the girl six years ago, she is still so useless.

She couldn't help but reach out to the dagger and clutched it tightly, unable to let go.

She knew that she would not be able to hold on any longer... Just as Dan Xiaoxiao said, the evil curse was rooted in her heart and she couldn't resist it at all.

Then there is only one way left.

Yu Beichen took a deep breath and slashed the sharp dagger towards his right wrist.

Since it doesn't obey, don't let it go.

No one can hurt my brother.

No matter who it is.

"Chen'er!" Someone seemed to be shouting anxiously.

With a clang, the dagger in her hand was knocked to the ground. Yu Ling snatched her other dagger and threw them far out the door.

"It's useless, brother... I really want to kill you, but how can I do it to you..." Yu Beichen couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.

"Please, let me end it on my own..." Yu Beichen choked and sobbed.

Yu Ling felt a buzz in her mind, as if she had returned to the small courtyard full of moon flowers three years ago.

"Please, please let me go, okay?" The woman in red leaned weakly in his arms, murmuring sadly.

Why, why is it always like this...

Why are you all leaving me?

Is this retribution? Is this retribution for his evil deeds?!

He worked so hard to climb up, just because he wanted to live a better life and protect his sister, so that he no longer had to look at other people's faces and be bullied by others.

But what about now?

He gained a lot, but also lost a lot.

Will even my sister be taken away?

He will never allow it!

"Chen'er, I won't let you die." Yu Ling held her cold hand and said softly.

Even if I die, I can't let you die.

"Brother... But I don't want to live anymore. Will you still like me now that I've become like this? I'm no longer the Chen'er I used to be..." Yu Beichen opened his face tremblingly

mask.

That face was covered with scars and wounds, and there were faint purple-black snake-like threads twisting around, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

But Yu Ling seemed not to notice, holding her tightly in her arms and saying softly: "No matter what, you are my brother's Chen'er. I only have a sister like you."

"Brother, let me go quickly, I really can't hold on anymore..." Yu Beichen tried to push him away in a panic.

But Yu Ling didn't allow her to struggle at all, still holding her and saying slowly: "Chen'er, promise me, you can live very well even without me."

"You've always been so strong, right?"

"It's just... from now on, my brother can't take care of you. You have to remember to put on your coat when it's cold, stop kicking the quilt around at night, drink more hot water, and take good care of yourself...

…”

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Yu Beichen struggled hard, with boundless panic spreading in his heart.

"In short, even if you are alone, you must live well." Yu Ling took out a long knife from the spiritual ring.

Then it was forced into Yu Beichen's hands.

She looked at Yu Ling in panic, barely able to restrain her surging murderous intent.

As if in a daze, the long knife pierced Yu Ling's heart.

His pale fingers clenched the blade tightly, and blood continued to flow from between his fingers and from his chest, taking away the warmth of his body bit by bit.

Yu Beichen's whole body of murderous aura dissipated. She looked at the long knife in her hand in disbelief, and her eyes moved to Yu Ling bit by bit, and then to his face.

He had a faint smile, very weak, but very gentle.

"Chen'er, tell your brother that unfinished story." He gently touched Yu Beichen's head, as if it was still the same as before.

"Brother! Why... why..." Yu Beichen fell down next to him in despair, hugging him and crying bitterly.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve you to treat me like this..."

Yu Ling still smiled lightly: "Why isn't it worth it? You are my sister."

He slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "I'm a little tired, let me rest."

"Brother, you bastard! I won't allow you to die!" Yu Beichen hurriedly picked him up on his back and stumbled out of the tavern.

"Boom!"

As if the gods were angry, thick black clouds pressed down on the sky, and after a heavy thunder, raindrops fell crazily.

"Brother, please hold on a little longer, don't die, don't leave me..." Yu Beichen cried helplessly, and it was hard to tell whether it was tears or rain on his face.

She casually grabbed an umbrella from a nearby shop, ignored the shop owner's scolding, and ran quickly towards the end of the street.

A little faster, a little faster...

The thin oil-paper umbrella kept swaying under the ravages of the heavy rain, like a lotus leaf swaying in the rain.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

She ran wildly through the rain, and was soaked all over her body. She only carefully held an umbrella to protect Yu Ling and refused to let him get wet.

Street after lane was left behind her, and everything around her became blurry.

Finally, she rushed into an attic, and then went all the way down to a man wearing a blood-red mask.

"Please save my brother!" Yu Beichen seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to his knees with a thud.

The man glanced at her gently and said calmly: "You know, nothing is given for nothing in this world. You need to pay the price."

"Even if you exchange your life for a life, you can!" Yu Beichen gritted his teeth and said.

The man took a sip of tea lightly and said in the same calm tone: "I finally raised you, how can I be willing to send you to die?"

He stood up, looked down at Yu Beichen, and smiled without any warmth: "As long as you fuse with the evil heart, I will help you save him."

Yu Beichen was shocked, and murmured with a pale face: "But in that case... my brother will definitely hate me, and he will never be the same again..."

"The choice is all up to you." The man smiled sarcastically: "However, if you delay for a moment, even I won't be able to save him."

Yu Beichen bit his lip, and the sweet and fishy taste spread bit by bit between his lips and teeth.

Bitter, astringent.

There was no trace of blood on her face, and she was so weak that it would be shattered if blown by the wind.

"I promise you..."

In the end, she tried her best to squeeze out these four words, feeling lost for a moment.

Brother, I'm sorry...

You can never go back to the past, but you can keep going in the future.
