Memories no longer surfaced; her diseased thoughts slowed down and came to a halt one by one.

She couldn’t see the bubbles or the hat, nor could she feel her own body.

She faintly glimpsed a black shadow.

The hallucinations before death came so late.

I’m sorry, Lianyi.

The shadow, as though it were a real person, embraced her into its arms.

Lifting her up, heading towards the light.

…

“Fire…”

Voices jumbled around her ears, unclear.

Her body was slapped, over and over, involuntarily spitting out water, gradually beginning to hear sounds, as if someone was shouting something.

“Ca…fire!”

She couldn’t do it.

She was groggy.

Because…

What was the reason again?

She couldn’t…

An unusual sensation came from her lips.

Air was breathed into her mouth, bringing a comforting warmth, carrying the familiar temperature of someone.

I’m being…

“Kardesia, turn into fire!”

Her self-destructive consciousness was suppressed by more intense emotions.

She suddenly turned into a ball of flames and then awkwardly returned to form.

The water evaporated, and she gasped for air, her memory awakening in her mind: the power of the Wing of Death, the scheming of the skeletal head, her fleeting thoughts while drowning, the shadow embracing her…

the warmth on her lips…

“Cough, what?!”

Kardesia abruptly opened her eyes, instinctively wanting to cover her lips but found her right arm still immobile, while her left arm was firmly grasped by someone.

That person was right beside her, dressed in a black suit, his handsome face deathly pale, his eyes burning with fire.

“Lianyi—?!”

Shiyu Lianyi enveloped the girl, droplets of water falling from his hair, hitting her equally soaked clothing.

“Kardesia.”

Their bodies pressed tightly together.

Lianyi’s voice remained steady, yet she detected the man’s entire body trembling, seemingly more fearful than she who had almost died.

He held her so tightly, like a child clutching a treasured possession, afraid that if he let go, the girl would vanish to a place he could never find again.

Kardesia inhaled softly.

“It’s okay, Lianyi.”

She whispered comfort to the man, even though she was the one who had been rescued.

“It’s okay, Lianyi, I’m not dead yet.”

Shiyu Lianyi breathed heavily, slowly releasing his grip.

Without a word, he picked up the girl, eliciting a gasp.

“Qiluo sent me a message; my powers couldn’t reach you.

I got in touch with Gongsun and received a warning.

We’ve been tricked.

Do you have any web-enabled electronic devices on you?”

She wasn’t quite catching what he was saying, and responded instinctively.

“I should only have my phone, it’s with Qiluo…”

“That should be enough to temporarily block out interference,” he nodded.

“Also, the skeletal head’s superpower hasn’t changed, the reversal of the single-wing symbol is the effect of the Spiritual Image Skill.

This time, he’s sought help from an Impermanence Law Enforcer.”

He carried the girl out of the reservoir, where around the exit lay ten black-clothed figures, each with a twisted face as if suffering from an indescribable terror.

A familiar red sports car was parked on the side of the road; Shiyu Lianyi opened the car door and placed the girl in the passenger seat.

“The car came to pick me up on its own, must be Qiluo’s help.

Don’t worry, on the way here I disconnected the car’s networking module.” He explained to the stunned girl, “Someone tampered with the traffic system, I almost arrived too late.”

He clenched his fist.

Kardesia opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of water.

She admitted her brain couldn’t keep up with the rapid developments, she didn’t understand how Lianyi managed all this, let alone comprehend the deeper meaning of his explanation.

She grasped only two things: one, Lianyi had saved her life; two, she suddenly found herself not breathing and her left hand began to misbehave restlessly.

“There’s nothing to worry about, Lianyi!

But I’ve been hit by it, you should stay away from me or you might get hurt!!”

The youth from Zero Island removed his gloves, revealing the scarred back of his hand.

“Kardesia, hold my hand.”

He instructed softly, and the girl, confused and shocked, reached out for his marred hand.

“The price is a minute of pain, but in return, the curse will be transferred to me for three minutes.”

Instantly, her body felt lighter and the will to self-destruct disappeared.

She watched the young man close the car door, sit back in the driver’s seat, his expression as if she were meeting him for the first time.

“So…” Kardesia asked worriedly, “Is this your real power?

But Lianyi, the skill of Necro leads is—”

“I know.”

Temporary transfer came at a much smaller price than healing.

The skill of the Necro leads was essentially a curse.

Coincidentally, his only specialty was also curses.

The young man gripped the steering wheel, looking at his beloved girl with a faint smile.

“I’ll explain everything later, leave it to me for now.”

Gazing at the familiar smile on his face, she felt an inexplicable sense of calm.

“Who the hell are you!” “Get the fuck out of the car!” “Screw off, asshole!” Shouts and curses came from outside the car as the black-clad men rushed to the scene raised their weapons.

The machine guns spat fire, bullets rattled against the car, but thanks to the professional bulletproofing, they were like toys.

The young man floored the throttle, blue flames shot out from the back of the car, the engine of the Red Meteor roared at full throttle, knocking the black-clad men sky-high!

The barriers of Wing of Death were as good as none, the sports car charging out of the reservoir amid screams and sparks!

“Wow!”

Kardesia had just exclaimed with excitement when she suddenly said out of the blue, “Did you just kiss me?”

The young man in a suit was handing her a wet top hat and stiffened at her words.

“I was giving you CPR…

I mean…” Her lively demeanor made him even more flustered, “Can we talk about this later, Kardesia?

Let’s deal with the task at hand first.”

She donned the top hat, turning her eyes.

“So, are we going on a date now, or is this another prank?”

The young man in the suit looked as if he were choking.

“We’ll first…”

He picked up his white gloves but didn’t get the chance to put them on.

Kardesia grabbed his hand and pressed his scarred backhand against her smooth cheek.

Shiyu Lianyi froze.

She gently rubbed his hand against her face, persistent and unyielding.

“A date, or a prank?”

Shiyu Lianyi looked at the stubborn girl, her golden hair shining like sunlight.

For a moment, he couldn’t close his eyes, his lips twisted in a grimace, then finally broke into a smile.

It carried a sense of helplessness and composure, as well as an unprecedented sense of liberation.

“What were you planning to do, Kardesia?”

“Oh, I was planning to blow the Necro lead’s head off.”

“Okay, then we go on a date.”

The red sports car sped away, hurtling toward the road of death, with Shiyu Lianyi’s response trailing in the wind.

“And blow the Necro lead’s head off.”
