Chapter 284: Leave
Even if she saw the walls of death notices, the middle-aged woman refused to believe it. Perhaps she already had the answer, but she didn’t want to admit it. Situ An picked up the bloody scalpel from the floor and walked towards Situ An’s mother. They stood in the corridor that detailed Situ An’s life and looked at each other.
“If the devil descends on earth, he’ll probably have your face, right?” The middle-aged woman leaned against the wall. The bloody sunlight slid down her shoulders. In this strange world, she appeared so pure.
Gao Ming didn’t answer the woman. He slowly raised the knife, but he didn’t stab the woman. With Xuan Wen looking on in confusion, Gao Ming cut open a gash on his chest. Things that flowed out with the blood included the death memories that were buried inside his heart. These things were exposed to middle-aged women.
“Your son will never return. The curtain has fallen for his life. It’s time for you to rest too.” The chains in the torture room collided with each other. They seemed to come alive. “It doesn’t matter if you’re just his imagination or his mother’s soul.” Gao Ming stood between the light and shadow. The wound on his heart widened. The middle-aged woman saw the horrifying scene inside his heart. “I can bring you to meet Situ An so that you can reunite with him.”
Xuan Wen seemed to understand something. She reached into her pocket and called the number using Uncle Zhang’s phone. The familiar melody floated out of Gao Ming’s heart. The woman lifted her head with a shock. She parsed through the layers of death memories. The torture devices moved away. Deep inside the torture room, she saw a familiar face. Situ An was chained, and his face carried the craziest smile. His eyes were vicious.
“Situ An…”
At the same time, Situ An stopped breathing for a few seconds. The smile on his face froze. He didn’t greet her. Instead, Situ An appeared to have lost his mind as he yelled at the middle-aged woman, “Didn’t I tell you never to leave home?”
Gao Ming had interacted with Situ An many times through his many deaths, but he had never seen such fury in Situ An before. Situ An was rational to the point of sickness. As a parent chosen by the shadow world, he had never raised his voice before. When he was pursued by death, he would calm down and figure it out. When he was cornered, he’d have a back-up. Even after he was killed, he didn’t lose control and wanted to restart as a ghost. However, such a bastard who fought fate to the bitter end revealed a different face when he saw the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman’s eyes reddened. She cried not because she was scolded by Situ An, but because she finally saw her son. Her former pride had become a chained prisoner.
