The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

A thunderous roar erupted.

Heavy rain poured into the top floor of the Leng Group building.

Lu Ming lowered his eyes to look at the blood-red revolver on the table.

His fingers, which were gripping the knife, paused for a moment before slowly loosening.

He lowered the blood-red broadsword and picked up the revolver.

As the cold gun handle touched his palm, the sound of rain in the conference room seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Lu Ming raised his eyes, his voice so low and emotionless.

"Undo the symbiotic curse."

"Hahaha--"

Blood Fox seemed to have finally waited for this moment, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

Nine blood-red fox tails swung wildly in the lightning, their tips brushing across the table and splashing up a string of raindrops.

"Lu Ming, oh Lu Ming!"

"I finally won!"

"You, Lu Ming, will finally have to live by my rules one day!"

It laughed so hard it could barely breathe, its eyes filled with a morbid glee, wearing Leng Xixi's face.

Lu Ming looked up at it.

There was no roar in that gaze, only an extreme chill.

"I said."

"Undo the symbiotic curse."

"Solve, solve~"

Blood Fox drawled out his words and slowly raised his hand.

"Rest assured, my dear God of War."

"I can't bear to break the contract at a time like this."

It sliced ​​its fingertip open, squeezed out a drop of scarlet blood, and pressed it onto its brow.

next second.

Blood-red patterns lit up on all nine fox tails at the same time.

The blood streaks crawled down its neck and then abruptly broke off at its heart.

Furthermore, a streak of blood-red light spread from between its brows, then gradually broke off from a distance along an invisible connection.

"Yes, my God of War."

Blood Fox rested her chin on her hand, her smile almost impossible to hide.

"You have two minutes."

"We'll start the game after you finish verifying."

"Hahaha... I can't take it anymore, let me laugh a little longer!"

After saying that, it actually lay down on the conference table and started laughing.

Laughter echoed in the spacious top-floor conference room.

harsh.

He was pleased with himself.

Lu Ming didn't look at it again.

He pressed the earpiece, his voice lowering.

"Lin Fan".

"Check on my sister's condition."

On the other end of the headset, the roar of helicopter rotors mingled with the sound of rain.

Lin Fan's voice rang out quickly.

"The forbidden spell is indeed being lifted."

"But whether there's a second layer of trickery hidden, I'll have to wait until it's completely eliminated before I can test it."

He paused.

"At the current rate of decline, it will indeed take about two minutes."

"Lu Ming".

Lin Fan lowered his voice.

"Are you really going to play this game with it?"

"Notify me after the complete lifting of the curse."

"Lu Ming!"

Before Lin Fan could say anything more, Lu Ming had already cut off the communication.

He simply closed his eyes, gripped the revolver tightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The chat in the live stream slowed down.

No one spoke again on the playground of Jinling Wuzhong School.

The soldiers of the Zhenguo Army clenched their fists tightly, but not one of them could lend a hand to Lu Ming.

He could have easily shattered the entire building with a single blow.

But at this moment, he couldn't move the knife, couldn't fire the gun recklessly, and even had to suppress his anger.

This sense of powerlessness weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

At the same time.

A few streets away from the Leng Group.

Ye Chuhao led Xingyao into a milk tea shop that was still lit up.

It was pouring rain outside the store.

The giant broadcast screen in the distance was blurred by rain, becoming a blur of light and shadow.

The store was very quiet.

Warm yellow light fell on the table.

The two cups of freshly made bubble tea were still steaming hot.

Xingyao held the milk tea in her small hands, but didn't drink a drop.

She stared at the live stream on her phone, her brows furrowed with worry.

"Class...class monitor..."

She looked up and asked softly.

"Lu...Lu Ming, he..."

Ye Chuhao did not answer immediately.

He glanced at the space between them, frowned, and pretended to be unhappy.

"Little stutterer, why are you sitting so far away?"

"Come here quickly."

"Oh, okay!"

Xingyao was so distracted by him that she completely forgot what she had wanted to ask.

She ran over with the milk tea in her hand.

With a quick "heave-ho," he sat down next to Ye Chuhao.

"Class monitor, I'm coming to sit here."

"not enough."

Ye Chuhao frowned.

"Not enough?"

Xingyao tilted her head, and her little head got stuck for a moment.

The next second, her eyes lit up, as if she had found the answer.

She solemnly placed the milk tea on the table.

Then she stretched out her two little hands and hugged Ye Chuhao from the side.

"Heave-ho..."

She tilted her head back and smiled faintly.

"Class monitor, is this enough?"

Ye Chuhao chuckled softly, amused by her.

He reached out and put his arm around Xingyao's waist, gently pulling her onto his lap.

"Um."

That's enough.

Xingyao was taken aback at first.

Immediately, her face turned bright red, almost as if it were about to bleed.

She lowered her head and whispered a reproachful rebuke.

"Class monitor, you...you big pervert."

Ye Chuhao has a very thick skin.

He leaned on Xingyao's shoulder, casually took her bubble tea, and took a big gulp.

Xingyao watched as more than half of her favorite milk tea disappeared.

His eyes widened instantly.

The shyness I felt earlier vanished instantly.

I was almost in tears.

"Class monitor!"

"Leave some for me!"

Fortunately, Ye Chuhao only drank half of it before putting the straw to her lips.

Xingyao angrily bit down on the straw and drank it with a pained expression.

At that moment, Ye Chuhao's somewhat muffled voice, trembling with his teeth chattering, reached her ears.

"don’t worry."

"What Blood Fox really forced him to do was never whether or not to fire the gun."

"It's forcing Lu Ming to admit that he can only lose within the rules set by Blood Fox."

Xingyao bit her straw and gently raised her eyes.

Ye Chuhao looked at the screen on his phone, his tone still nonchalant.

"However, not all bowing one's head is a failure; it can also be a sign of growth."

"Don't worry, just watch it."

"oh!"

Xingyao blinked.

Since the class monitor said everything is fine, then everything must be fine.

Her worries dissipated considerably, and she happily sipped her milk tea, gently swinging her legs.

In the live stream footage.

Two minutes is very short.

But this moment felt as short as if it had been stretched into an entire night.

Rainwater streamed down the broken window sill.

Blood Fox lay on the table and laughed.

Lu Ming closed his eyes and remained motionless.

at last.

The headset light came back on.

Lin Fan's voice came through.

"Lu Ming, your sister's forbidden spell has been lifted."

Lu Ming did not open his eyes, but asked calmly.

Are you sure?

"It has been checked three times."

Lin Fan took a deep breath.

"There really aren't any left."

"it is good."

Lu Ming responded.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

The murderous intent that had been almost uncontrollable in those eyes was gone.

Only tranquility remained.

Blood Fox clutched her stomach with one hand and wiped away tears of laughter from the corner of her eye with the other.

"Are you sure?"

"Let's begin the game..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Lu Ming raised his gun.

The gun barrel was pointed directly at Blood Fox's brow.

Blood Fox's smile froze slightly.

Lu Ming did not fire immediately.

He looked at the broadcast camera, his voice eerily calm.

"Long Aotian, if you're watching, listen carefully."

Before the nationwide broadcast, countless people held their breath.

He gripped the gun, his knuckles white, but there wasn't a tremor in his hand.

"The body inside Leng Xixi now contains a blood fox."

"From the moment it took away Leng Xixi's body, she could never come back."

"I fired this shot today."

"If you want to hate, hate me."

As Lu Ming spoke, his finger kept pulling the trigger.

"Click!"

"Click!"

……

Five shots were fired in a row, all of them blanks.

But each blow felt like it hit the Blood Fox, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

When the field of vision is clear

All she could see was a blood-red bullet hurtling toward her head.

In his final moments, Blood Fox did not go mad or despair as he had before; instead, he exuded a sense of relief and composure.

"Lu Ming..."

"You won."

"boom--"

A blood-red bullet pierced through his forehead.

Blood Fox, with Leng Xixi's head on top, exploded like a watermelon.

The body suddenly leaned back, and its nine fox tails simultaneously lost their strength and drooped to the ground.

Finally, it turned into specks of blood and light, which were swept out of the window by the night wind after the rain.

The silvery-white microspheres chased after the streak of blood-red light and flew out of the conference room.

The downpour stopped sometime later.

A crack appeared in the thick, dark clouds.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps, falling on Lu Ming's shoulder.

At that moment, everyone was looking at the man standing in the broken conference room.

They suddenly realized.

Lu Ming was never a god who was always right and never made a mistake.

He also makes mistakes.

In the North, he chose his sister, and countless brothers bore the consequences for him.

Today's shot may still bring him new consequences.

This time, however, he did not escape into the phrase "no other choice".

His approach became: acknowledge it, take responsibility, and then move on.
