Chapter 776: A Dog

“Oh?”

Qi Xia slowly frowned, then reached out and grabbed Wei Yang's wrist. With a firm pull, he gradually removed Wei Yang's hand from his collar.

“No matter what I deceived you with, it seems you've become a bit too arrogant.”

Qi Xia gripped Wei Yang's wrist and swung it hard, then pushed him to the ground.

Wei Yang's body didn't seem very strong. After being pushed down by Qi Xia, he couldn't get up for a while.

“Damn...”

Wei Yang scrambled up from the ground, looking disheveled.

“Qi Xia... are you a madman or a liar... you're even deceiving me...”

“I don't understand.”

Qi Xia said again.

“To me, you're also a madman. I've seen your farm too.”

“No... this is wrong...”

Wei Yang stepped forward again and grabbed Qi Xia's arm.

“You ask me! Qi Xia, you ask me the reason! About the farm, about me! Isn't this a good opportunity?!”

Qi Xia looked up at the black pearl above his head and then laughed maniacally.

“No, I have other uses for this pearl. Using it on you would be a waste.”

“Damn it! You can't abandon me...”

Wei Yang said.

“You're the one I brought out... I've given up so much for you!!”

“I insist on abandoning you.”

Qi Xia said.

“Frankly, I've abandoned too many people. One more you doesn't matter.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Yang's eyes widened slowly, then he lost his spirit.

“Qi Xia...”

He said hoarsely.

“You know, right... no matter how many years pass here, our appearances won't change at all.”

“Yes, resurrecting every ten days.”

Qi Xia nodded.

“Here, even if you want to exercise, you can't.”

“But... our 'eyes' will change.”

Wei Yang slowly stepped back, saying in a strange tone.

“The only thing that can change about us is our eyes. When someone stays here long enough, you can tell what kind of person they are just by looking at their eyes.”

“Interesting.”

“When everyone first arrives here, their eyes are clear and frightened.”

Wei Yang slowly extended a hand behind his back, fumbling for something.

“But after a long time, you'll find that these 'eyes' hatch different lights, like 'murderers', or 'perverts', or 'madmen'. These various lights emanate from their eyes.”

After saying that, Wei Yang pulled out a sharpened dagger from behind.

“Ha... haha!”

Qi Xia saw the dagger in the other's hand and couldn't help but laugh.

“So this is the method you came up with as a 'Du Xin'. How pitiful.”

“Qi Xia... what does my eyes look like to you?”

Wei Yang asked again.

After hearing that, Qi Xia walked forward a few steps, stared into the other's eyes, and said word by word:

“I see you as a dog that's been abandoned.”

“What...?”

Wei Yang's hand holding the dagger began to tremble slowly.

“You bastard...”

“You should be able to read it.”

Qi Xia said.

“I've already 'Hui Xiang'ed, and you're trying to take my life with a dagger.”

“You... are 'Sheng Sheng Bu Xi'…”

“That's right, I am 'Sheng Sheng Bu Xi'.”

Qi Xia said again.

“To kill me, you'd need a hundred daggers. Remember to sharpen them if they're dull.”

After hearing that, Wei Yang slowly lowered his hands and sighed deeply.

“Qi Xia... from when did you decide to abandon everyone?”

“I don't know, maybe from the beginning.”

Qi Xia answered.

“I thought it was my 'Du Xin' that weakened, but you never wanted to get out...”

Wei Yang lifted his turbid eyes.

“Qi Xia, you've deceived everyone... you don't want to get out at all... you want to become...”

Qi Xia's eyes turned cold instantly. He reached out and pinched Wei Yang's cheek, stopping his words in his throat.

Wei Yang's jaw couldn't close; he only made gurgling sounds. He felt as if this scene had happened a long time ago.

“Don't be ungrateful.”

Qi Xia said.

His eyes made Wei Yang's back instantly sweat.

Wei Yang felt that Qi Xia's eyes had an indescribable strangeness, as if provoking him would lead to something more terrible than death.

Unfortunately, he couldn't say anything now, only making muffled sounds.

“I won't mistreat those who have been kind to me, but if you make an enemy of me here, don't blame me for being rude.”

Upon hearing Qi Xia's words, Wei Yang's eyes gradually stabilized, but his thoughts became more chaotic. He couldn't figure out what Qi Xia was planning.

Although the situation was unclear, no matter how you looked at it, Qi Xia was closer to 'god' than anyone else.

Offending him would have no good end, and he couldn't kill 'Sheng Sheng Bu Xi' with a small dagger.

Qi Xia seemed to see through the other's thoughts. He reached out and grabbed his wrist, disarming the dagger.

Only then did Wei Yang realize that Qi Xia's ruthlessness far exceeded his own. The hand that took the dagger had blue and red joints, with blood seeping from the nail seams, as if it had been brutally broken. But at that moment, he felt no pain at all, holding the dagger himself.

“Wei Yang, I'll give you this one chance. Know what you should and shouldn't say. If you understand, blink.”

Qi Xia said.

“Or we'll meet in the next cycle.”

After hearing that, Wei Yang hurriedly blinked twice.

Qi Xia nodded, threw the dagger away, and released the hand holding Wei Yang's cheek.

Wei Yang, as if he had narrowly escaped death, almost fell to the ground. After steadying himself, he bowed his head and took a few deep breaths before slowly coming to his senses.

“What exactly is your plan...?”

Wei Yang asked.

“Are you walking a path different from everyone else's?”

“Yes.”

Qi Xia said.

“Please keep it confidential for me.”

Hearing Qi Xia's words, Wei Yang felt a chill again. For a moment, he couldn't tell if Qi Xia was lying.

Wei Yang discovered that the thoughts in Qi Xia's mind were extraordinarily strange. Everything swirling in his brain was speculation, none of it conclusive.

Among the countless speculations, even Wei Yang, who was skilled in 'Du Xin', didn't know which sentence was true.

That tangled mess of thoughts made Wei Yang think: Was Qi Xia speculating to hide, or to find the truth?

“Wei Yang, you still have use to me.”

Qi Xia said again.

“You should know that everyone in this place will die, without exception.”

“Yes...”

Wei Yang's eyes dimmed for a moment.

“But so what? I can choose how I want to live before I die.”

“I'll find a place for you and arrange a new way to die.”

Qi Xia said.
