Karina looked directly at Li Xiang in front of her, bit her trembling lower lip, and asked hurriedly:

"Who do you think you are? You are just a weakling who couldn't even pass the Blood Prison Trial!"

"Even I can't escape Dragonite's pursuit, what makes you think you can help it get away?!"

Of course it's because of my undercover identity! Dragonite and I are in the same camp, so why should I be afraid?

Li Xiang complained in his heart, but on the surface he answered seriously:
"Don't worry, I have my own way."

"What can you do?" Karina asked bluntly, "Don't think you are a strong person just because you used your cleverness to defeat a few trial participants. In fact, you are still a waste!"

Having said this, Karina paused for a moment, as if she realized that what she said was a bit harsh.

But in order to change Li Xiang's mind, she continued with a cold face:
"Even if Zoroark can transform into my appearance, it won't be perfect, and the enemy will soon find out the flaws."

Karina also noticed that there was a tail behind her other self, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

She coughed twice, forced her eyes away, and continued with a straight face:
"The little time you delayed is nothing compared to Dragonite's speed. I will still be caught by them."

"The difference is that they will be angry because they were fooled by Zoroark, and then you, the victim captured by the Shadow Church, will become an accomplice. You are clearly sending yourself to die in vain!"

Facing Karina's harsh rebuke, Li Xiang's expression remained calm, and there was even a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you concerned about me? It seems that I still occupy a certain place in your heart."

Karina was speechless for a moment, and then said unnaturally:

"Don't be so conceited! I just can't stand such a stupid plan!"

"Besides, it's already this late, and you're still dwelling on such stupid questions. Get out of here right now, and stay as far away from me as possible!"

Li Xiang shook his head and said seriously: "I said that I will not leave until I repay your kindness."

Before Karina could open her mouth to rebuke him, he spoke first: "As for my plan, it is not to simply lure the enemy away, but to deceive them by using the dark under the lamp."

"What does 'darkness under the lamp' mean?" Karina was aroused by Li Xiang's words.

Li Xiang explained softly: "As the name suggests, the dark area under the lamp refers to the dark area under the lamp."

"Because of the light fixtures themselves, the light couldn't reach there, so a dark area was created."

"This area looks very close to the lights, but it is actually hard to be noticed. Simply put, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is."

Karina was very smart and immediately figured out Li Xiang's real plan: "You mean to let me hide on this island?"

Li Xiang nodded slightly: "That's right, normal people will subconsciously choose to run away when encountering a strong enemy. I believe the enemy chasing you also thinks so."

"So we'll do the opposite and find a secret place on this island to hide. The enemy won't realize you're right under their noses!"

Karina nodded first, then looked at Li Xiang with complicated eyes, and said with her red lips:
"Your plan does sound feasible, but the prerequisite is that there is a bright enough light to attract the enemy's attention."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "As expected of Lady Karina, you saw through my plan at a glance. Soraya and I are the light, enough to block out a safe area for you."

As he spoke, he took out the confiscated black robe and draped it over Karina, who was transformed by Zoroark, to block Zoroark's tail:
"Look, its tail is blocking it. As for the question of speaking, as a priest of the Church of Shadows, you are a bit arrogant. It's normal that you don't want to talk to them."

"As long as I react quickly, it will be difficult for the enemy to detect the flaws. By the time they find out something is wrong, it will be too late. By then, I will say that you have already escaped from this island on a gull."

"Even if they still don't give up and send Dragonite to search for you, it will be in vain in the end. Who would have thought that you were hiding on this island?"

"As long as the enemy doesn't take this island out on their anger and plow it up like crazy, you'll be safe. After they leave, you..."

Just as Li Xiang was describing his plan in a boastful tone, Karina suddenly interrupted:
"What about you? What should you do?"

She stared into Li Xiang's eyes and asked in a cold tone:
"If your plan can be implemented successfully, I will be safe. Have you ever thought about your own fate?"

"I'm just a civilian trial-taker captured by you. They shouldn't do anything to me." Li Xiang said with an unchanged smile.

Karina sneered, "Ha, have you ever seen a victim help the culprit escape?"

"You are not the culprit, the Shadow Church is." Li Xiang retorted in a low voice.

"What's the difference? Don't forget that I captured all of you trial participants!"

Karina raised her voice sharply, not caring whether she would be discovered by the enemy.

"My sins cannot be washed away. Dying on this island is my best outcome, and it is also a fate I cannot escape!"

"You will only get yourself into trouble if you help me. They will regard you as my accomplice. There is a blood feud between Viscount Ryan and the Shadow Church. You will really die at his hands!"

"So." Karina slowed down her tone and said to Li Xiang softly, "Give up. I was supposed to die on Blood Prison Island. This is my fate."

Li Xiang remained silent, and the scene fell into silence for a while.

Karina thought she had convinced Li Xiang, and while she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a little disappointed.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and was about to take out the black crystal to release the Flame Queen Lizard to buy time for Li Xiang to escape, when suddenly a hearty voice came to her ears:

"I'm sorry, I never believe in this bullshit fate!"

Karina raised her head suddenly when she heard that, and saw Li Xiang with a smile on his face and determination in his eyes.

"In the few memories I have left, there is a saying from my hometown: My fate is in my own hands!"

"Everyone's destiny is in their own hands. The so-called fate is just an excuse for cowards!"

"If I really listened to fate, I wouldn't have stayed on the deserted island until you arrived, so don't use fate as an excuse to escape!"

“We must use dialectical materialism and historical materialism as our methodology to conduct a fundamental critique of fatalism and idealist views of fate!”

"Fate is ultimately a kind of consciousness, and consciousness is determined by matter. The development of history is also a combination of inevitability and contingency. Ahem, I think I've gone off topic."

Li Xiang was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized what was happening. He scratched his head awkwardly and said to Karina, who looked confused:

"In short, you shouldn't believe in fate. I will definitely let you walk out of this Blood Prison Island alive!" When Karina heard this, the memories of the past resurfaced in her mind.

She looked at the figure in front of her that was almost overlapping with Ike, and instead of feeling sad, she felt a surge of anger.

"You don't think this kind of self-touching sacrifice is great, do you?" Karina said, gritting her teeth.

"Or do you think that doing this will impress me and replace the person in my memory?"

"Who do you think you are? You are just his substitute, just a pet for me to relieve my loneliness. Even if you saved me, what can you do? You are still not qualified to compare with him!"

Listening to Karina's heart-wrenching words, if Li Xiang really had feelings for Karina, he would definitely feel extremely heartbroken.

However, Li Xiang's mind was filled with the mission, and he felt nothing inside. He even wanted to laugh, because their conversation really sounded like the melodramatic novels he had read.

Damn it! Why did those scenes appear in my mind again? Dr. Hu has done a lot of harm to people!
Li Xiang's face turned pale instantly, and he wanted to clear the plot from his mind.

But his expression looked hurt in Karina's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

She now understood that the reason why Li Xiang was so desperate to save her was probably because he had feelings for her, and the life-saving grace was just an excuse.

As for the doubts she had about Li Xiang before, they all disappeared the moment Li Xiang was willing to sacrifice himself to save her.

After all, no undercover agent would risk his life to lure the enemy away for her in such a situation. Therefore, Karina had completely trusted Li Xiang at this time and no longer had any doubts in her heart.

Moreover, when she thought about how she had deliberately distanced herself from Li Xiang in the past two days because of the slander of that idiot Molde, her guilt deepened further.

I really deserve to die! I can doubt anyone but Li Xiang!

The more guilty Kalina felt, the more she didn't want Li Xiang to repeat the same mistake and die on the Blood Prison Island like Ike did.

So Karina continued to pretend to be disdainful and said, "Get out of here quickly and don't get in my way here, lest you destroy the good image of that man in my memory."

When Li Xiang heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud. He thought the content of the novel was bloody enough, but he didn't expect that the plot in reality was even more magical than the novel.

What? He's playing a game?

That's okay~
Li Xiang tried hard to turn his smile into a wry one, and then said to Karina affectionately:
"You misunderstood. I never thought of imitating the person in your memory, nor do I want to be his substitute."

"But he and I have one thing in common, and that is that we both want you to walk out of this Blood Prison Island alive."

"So it's inevitable that we will make similar choices, but like you just said, I am not the man in your memory after all."

At this point, Li Xiang revealed a confident smile: "He only sent your body to Blood Prison Island, but left your soul on the island to be buried with him, so that you will always live in pain and torture."

"But I am different. Not only will I save your body, I will also personally take your soul out of this Blood Prison Island and let you be truly liberated!"

"I want to use our lives to completely break the shackles of fate, so."

He reached out and grasped Kalina's wrist, seemingly to convey his feelings to her, but in fact he was afraid that Kalina would release the Flame Queen Lizard without a care in the world.

"Believe me, I will definitely come back alive, and then fulfill the promise between us and take you to see thousands of mountains and rivers."

Karina stared at Li Xiang in a daze, and the originally overlapping figures were gradually completely occupied by this man.

No! That's not right! Li Xiang is lying! He is a liar just like Ike!
If I believe what he said, he will never come back, and my soul will be completely ruined!

Karina shook her head vigorously, and then broke free from Li Xiang's hand.

She smiled apologetically at Li Xiang, and just as she was about to reach out to take out the black crystal, she found that Li Xiang also smiled apologetically.

Oh no! Li Xiang had the same idea as her!
Karina suddenly realized it, but it was too late.

Li Xiang suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her over, then stabbed her without hesitation.

Karina only felt a pain in her neck, and then her vision fell into darkness.

In the moment before closing her eyes, she seemed to hear Li Xiang's whisper:
"Forgive me, Karina, this is the last time."

Karina's red lips moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she could not resist the darkness, and fell on Li Xiang and fainted.

I still couldn't say the words "Please come back alive", and I felt as regretful as I did at the beginning.
-
Looking at Karina in his arms, Li Xiang finally let go of his worry. He was really afraid that Karina would do something irrational and ruin his plan.

"Women are really troublesome. They take so long to dwell on something that can be explained in a few words."

"If Dragonite and the others weren't ours, Karina and I would have died eight hundred times."

"Isn't Karina quite smart? Why is she so hesitant? She even went through the bloody plot in the novel. Could it be that she is also a love-brained person?"

"Forget it, never mind her. As long as I can complete the mission, it's fine. When I appear in front of her again, her favorability will skyrocket!"

Li Xiang thought happily in his heart. To be on the safe side, he didn't dare to open his mouth in front of Karina who had fainted.

Although he is confident in his hand knife, it is said that the indigenous people in the game have a high level of physical fitness, and the children in the copy can easily withstand electric shocks.

Therefore, Li Xiang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. What if Karina was pretending to be unconscious? He would be in trouble.

After confirming again and again that Karina was really fainted, Li Xiang found a hidden hiding place to put her down.

During this time, he focused all his attention on the black crystal on Kalina's waist, fearing that the Flame Queen Lizard would come out from inside and whip him.

Fortunately, the Flame Queen Lizard did not run out in the end. As for the reason, it might be because unlike the Poké Ball, Pokémon could not come out of the crystal by itself, or it might be because the Flame Queen Lizard felt that Li Xiang was helping Kalina.

No matter what the reason was, Li Xiang's initial plan was finally implemented smoothly. The next thing to do was to meet up with the reinforcements.

"Hooo~"

Listening to the faint dragon roar in the distance, even the well-trained Li Xiang showed some excitement.

After so many days in the game, I finally get to see my own people! (End of this chapter)
