Soul Patch

Chapter 249 The Death of Xiao Yi
Taking advantage of Ah Wei's momentary confusion and infatuation, Xiao Yi slid her hands down, one hand naturally wrapping around Ah Wei's waist, while the other hand returned to her side.

She slowly reached for her stockings, and just as she was about to touch the dagger hidden beneath them, Ah Wei grabbed her hand.
She murmured, "Hmm?"

Ah Wei pinned her hands against the wall and stared intently into her eyes, as if trying to read her thoughts.

The moonlight streaming through the corridor windows made Xiao Yi's eyes appear as dark and bright as jewels.

Those bright eyes were staring at him, blinking like a night elf, but... Xiao Yi looked sorrowful, as if she was enduring great pain.

He was slightly taken aback, then gently comforted her, "If you... don't like it... you don't have to do this."

As he spoke, Ah Wei loosened his grip, and his hands fell to his sides.

Xiao Yi shook her head, buried her face in his chest, wrapped an arm around his waist, and sobbed, "Awei, you don't understand. I..."

"Don't understand what?" Awei asked, puzzled.

Xiao Yi's other arm swept down over Awei's neck, and the arm that had been around Awei's waist loosened. She leaned her head and body back, and her long legs executed a beautiful, sharp side spin, standing steadily half a meter away from Awei.

Ah Wei felt a chill on his neck, followed by a gush of warm liquid. Incredulity and panic overwhelmed him in an instant.

A piercing, excruciating pain shot through his neck, a pain that instantly drained him of his strength.

He propped himself up and touched his neck, his hands covered in hot, sticky liquid.

In the darkness, he looked at the dark liquid on his hand, unwilling to believe it was blood, and even more unwilling to believe that Xiao Yi had attacked him.

His body went limp, and he slumped to the ground. He struggled to bring his hand close to his nose and smell it; a salty, fishy smell rushed into his nostrils.

He had no choice but to believe it; it was indeed blood.

Xiao Yi really went all out!
Realizing this, the last bit of strength in his body was drained away.

His head and eyes drooped limply, and he murmured, "Why, why? Little... Yi..."

The cut was deep, damaging Awei's trachea. Xiaoyi knew that Awei was trying to open his mouth to say something, but only hoarse "ah ah... ah" sounds came out.

Xiao Yi knelt on the ground, hugging Awei's limp body, and sobbed softly, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Awei, I really had no choice. The system task has a countdown..."

Before I could finish speaking, I felt the body in my arms suddenly slump over, completely lifeless.

Xiao Yi stared blankly at Awei in her arms, while Awei's eyes were still fixed on her.

His eyes were filled with shock and resentment; he refused to accept this fact until his death, his eyes wide open.

Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she trembled as she stroked Awei's face.

I watched as those eyes finally closed.

Xiao Yi released Awei's body, stumbled to her feet, looked up at the building, then looked towards the entrance...

She didn't know where to go.

At this moment, a system message appeared:

One hacking cheater has been successfully eliminated.

[Another location for the cheat: the entrance to the pedestrian staircase to the right of the main entrance of the east building of Wuzhou Neurological Hospital]

When Xiao Yi saw the message from the system, she felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cave. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her teeth started chattering.

Old Luo!
Luo Lao is also using hacking cheats!
And... Elder Luo should be standing right there...

Before she could think any further, she felt a cold wind coming from behind her, making the hairs on her body stand on end.

Her legs seemed to have given out of control; it took her a long time to move around before she could finally turn around.

Behind her, a gaunt figure stood at the top of the stairs, looking at her.

She felt that gaze was like a sharp sword that had been drawn from its sheath, cutting her to pieces.

She knelt down with a thud, sobbing and begging Old Master Luo to spare her life. Old Master Luo raised his arm and suddenly flung his sleeve away. He felt a gust of wind hit her head and she fell to the ground, blood oozing from her mouth and nostrils.

She reached out and wiped it, and seeing that Elder Luo hadn't killed her, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Old Master Luo arrived in a huff, and she fell down again. She stubbornly got up, knelt on the ground, and waited for Old Master Luo's judgment.

The gentle voice sounded from above her head, like a thunderclap in her ears, which frightened her so much that she curled up on the ground in fear.

"The first rule of the Anti-System Alliance is no infighting. Have you forgotten that?"

"..."

Xiao Yi was terrified; she trembled like a leaf in the cold wind.

"You know what happens when you break the alliance, right?"

"..." Xiao Yi nodded mechanically, entirely out of admiration for Elder Luo's intimidating presence.

Suddenly realizing something, she said tremblingly, "Elder Luo, spare me, spare me! Kill me! It's better for me to die while carrying out a mission than to refuse to carry it out and be erased by the system!"

After saying that, Xiao Yi closed her eyes and tilted her slender white neck back.

Old Luo was slightly stunned. Refusing to carry out the system task would result in being eliminated?

This has never happened before!

Is this the system retaliating?

Old Luo pondered for a moment before speaking, "What you said... is it true?"

Xiao Yi kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, "Old Master Luo...it's...it's true! How could I dare to lie to you!"

Old Master Luo gently stroked his beard, then paused upon hearing this, and said solemnly, "Alright! I'll grant your wish!"

Old Luo strode close to Xiao Yi, drew his cold blade, and delivered a fatal blow in one strike. He then returned to his previous position, the entire process completed in the blink of an eye.

His movements were so subtle that it was impossible to see them clearly; it was as if a black whirlwind had simply circled around Xiao Yi.

Looking at Xiao Yi again, she was still kneeling on the ground, her eyes still clear and filled with tears as she looked at Old Master Luo.

Old Luo went straight upstairs without looking at Xiao Yi again.

His steps were firm and powerful, one step, two steps, three steps...

When she reached the fourth step, the blood on Xiao Yi's neck surged and engulfed her, and she withered and died in an instant.

Like a cold and beautiful flower, it withers silently in the dark night.

……

Wenjie saw the patch carrier executing the mission, and the health bar above it, which represented health points, dropped from full to 0/100.

He stared at the 3D modeling interface in front of him in safe mode, and the pistol icon instantly went dark.

It seems the patch carrier that was executing the task has crashed.

A system notification popped up in front of him very quickly:

[Patch carrier number 78 exits system task]

He's dead, no doubt about it.

Hey!
It seems that the old man is difficult to deal with.

There's still one patch carrier left... Wenjie feels a bit of a toothache.

If we can't rely on Iron Man, then we're left with Andy as the patch carrier. But Andy's basic skills are so poor, how can he complete the task of removing the intrusion cheat?
If Andy also dies, who will correct the course of his life? Will it be the unconscious, simple-minded guy?
He looked at Andy in ward 3125 on the 3D modeling interface and hesitated.
