Chapter 118: Sharing the Bed with the Unkind (26) The Romantic Place
You reap the consequences of your own actions.

One hundred years ago, a group of like-minded young people accidentally discovered a thousand-year-old tomb with countless gold and silver treasures. They agreed to split it equally but were stopped by a young man who loved archaeology.

The rest of the people, who were greedy for money and had lost their humanity, conspired to kill the young man and planned to throw his body into a coffin in the tomb as a burial for him.

But after opening the coffin, they found an ancient book inside, which recorded the location of the most precious treasure –

In the belly of the snake.

A thousand-year-old giant snake is sleeping in this ancient tomb, coiled on several bronze pillars.

Those greedy people were not satisfied with the money and treasures in front of them. They were determined to get the so-called treasure, so they teamed up to disembowel the long-sleeping snake.

However, they didn’t expect that when they took out the snake’s gallbladder and internal organs, what they got was not a priceless treasure, but an endless cycle of killing intent.

The snake was reborn and killed them in the same way, and their bodies were hung on the bronze pillars. Not only that, they would also experience reincarnation again and again, and then be killed by the snake again.

This kind of case occurs every ten years in this city, but the Internet was not well developed before, and there was no information about the murderer, so they had to leave it unsolved. And some people’s memories of this will be cleared by a mysterious force until the next cycle comes.

But the memories of these people will not disappear. They have gained another kind of immortality. They experience the pain of tragic death over and over again, which is deeply engraved in their hearts. Even if the time of the cycle has not come, they are still worried and frightened day and night, deeply tortured by fear.

As for the evil consequences of greed, some people avoid them, while others look for opportunities to resist.

Those who wanted to resist thought that Yan Qi was the big snake, and that the big snake and Yan Qi were one and the same. As long as Yan Qi was killed, the big snake could be killed.

Because Yan Qi was the one who was killed by them together at that time.

When they killed the giant snake, his body was soaked in the snake’s blood and he was reborn, but he also changed into a half-human, half-snake monster.

He has human rationality, but the bloodthirsty instinct of a monster. He goes crazy when he sees blood and wants to devour flesh and blood like crazy.

It took a lot of willpower for him to refrain from eating humans, and he only ate live poultry such as rabbits and chickens.

But during the day, he is a promising young talent, but once night falls, he turns into a walking corpse and wanders around the world.

Therefore, two personalities were separated in his body. One was determined to live despite this and shed his blood where it was needed; while the other would rather die than continue to be this monster that ate raw meat and drank blood.

They argued and fought, and finally they were forcibly split into two people, but even so, neither of them could die, and of course, neither of them was truly alive. In this way, they lived for a full hundred years, a long and lonely hundred years.

And this is the truth of the entire copy and the truth of the mission.

After Yan Qi and Qi Yan finished recounting all this, Yan Jinyue heard a “ding” sound in her mind:

“Congratulations to player Yan Jinyue for completing Task 3. The other players did not contribute to Task 3, so it is hereby deemed invalid.”

“The “Vice City” instance has ended. Players can choose to leave or stay. The bonus points will be calculated after returning to the rest stop.”

Yan Jinyue saw two floating buttons appear out of thin air in front of her: “Leave directly” and “Stay temporarily”.

Her dull eyes suddenly brightened up, and she was able to stay.

As for the other players who were tied to copper pillars and managed to escape, although they were very dissatisfied because they had worked so hard and almost lost their lives but ended up not getting 10,000 points, they were fortunately still alive and not disemboweled like the others.

They complained a few words, clicked the “Leave Directly” button one after another, and their bodies flashed a few times like snowflakes before disappearing in this space.

But the snake’s killing continued.

It is also carrying out capital punishment on several people tied to bronze pillars.

Yan Qi said softly: “It’s time to end.”

“Are you willing to do that?” Qi Yan crossed his arms and sneered, “If you put an end to it, do you think monsters like us who rely on its flesh and blood to survive can survive?”

Yan Qi asked back: “Do you want to go through these things for another hundred years?”

Although it was not Yan Qi and his group who committed the murder, they and the giant snake used flesh and blood as a medium. The giant snake’s actions would be replayed in their minds, as if they were there, and the fangs that cut through human flesh seemed as if they were their own.

“Of course not. I’ve wanted to end this a long time ago.” Qi Yan glanced at him lazily, “I don’t want to live in this body any more than you do.”

Yan Qi smiled helplessly, “Indeed, otherwise we wouldn’t have separated in the first place.”

“What do you want to do?” Yan Jinyue felt something was wrong, and held their hands in both hands, very seriously, “What you want to do will hurt you, right?” Qi Yan held her face, lowered his eyes, and his long white hair fell on her face and shoulders, wrapping her up. He was smiling, his light-colored eyes were shining, gentle and charming.

He said solemnly: “I’m so happy to meet you, and I’m so happy to have you. Yan Qi, that bastard, has finally done a good thing after a hundred years.”

“Why do your words sound like a parting gift?” Yan Jinyue frowned, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red, “I don’t like to hear such words, don’t say them next time.”

The little girl is both delicate and self-righteous.

Qi Yan smiled, ruffled her hair, and muttered, “Cold tea color, cold tea color, the color is beautiful and sounds good. When I was able to see colors before, it seems that there was no such color.”

“Indeed not.” Yan Qi said calmly, “This is a hair color that has only appeared in recent years. …Can you let my wife go?”

Qi Yan raised the end of his snow-white eyebrows slightly, and kissed the little girl’s red lips more wantonly. Feeling the dark and cold air released by the person next to him, he became more aggressive, pried open her teeth, and kissed her all over, not letting her breathe until she was out of breath.

Yan Qi pulled the person into his arms with a gloomy face, and rubbed the lips that were already red from being kissed with his fingertips, as if trying to wipe off some traces, but it was completely useless.

“It’s happened so many times, why bother?” Qi Yan sneered at his behavior.

“You stole my wife and you still think you’re right.” Yan Qi snorted coldly. He couldn’t wipe it off, so he simply covered the other person’s aura with his own body.

Yan Jinyue was confused. Weren’t they talking about serious matters just now? Why did they start kissing each other?
But finally, when this was over, the real business was brought up.

“It’s a good thing I suggested having dinner together. It really is our last meal.” Qi Yan moved his wrist bones.

Yan Qi: “Hehe”, “I cooked the meal, why are you taking credit for it?”

“Aren’t we alone?”

“Aren’t you the one who was most reluctant to admit it?”

Although they were bickering, Yan Jinyue was not a fool and could not understand the hidden meaning of their words.

“What do you mean by last meal? Explain it to me clearly!”

Yan Jinyue was happy that she could stay for a while, but the two told her that this was the last dinner. How could she accept this? She couldn’t help but look serious.

Yan Qi: “Are we going to kill the snake?”

Yan Jinyue: “So?”

Qi Yan: “After the snake dies, will we disappear too?”

Yan Jinyue couldn’t believe it, tears flashing in her eyes: “You want to leave me?”

“No, we want to be with you for real.”

“You will understand once we disappear from this time and space.”

“Disappear?…” Then how can we be together?
She shook her head and held their hands tightly. “I don’t understand.”

The one in black and the other in white cruelly peeled off her hands in an irresistible manner. The two looked at each other, as if they confirmed something.

At this time, the snake had already slaughtered all the people on the copper pillar. There was blood and scattered organs everywhere. The scene was extremely bloody. It snaked through the pool of blood and came over here, spitting out its scarlet tongue.

In just a moment, Yan Qi and the other man rushed forward, their bodies turned into sharp blades, and slashed deeply into the snake’s belly.

Yan Jinyue’s eyes widened, and her pupils reflected the scene of the two people and the giant snake being annihilated into dust. She couldn’t breathe, and her calves could no longer support her, so she collapsed to the ground.

“Rumble–“

The surroundings began to collapse, and the last thing Yan Jinyue saw before she fell into coma was a bronze pillar falling towards her.

Is she going to be crushed to death?
But when she opened her eyes again, she was no longer in an ancient tomb, but a magnificent dance hall.

Instrumental music played on the stage, and a beautiful lady in cheongsam twisted her snake-like waist and sang softly.

This is a truly romantic place.
