CH 124
Chapter 124 – Temple of the Five Internal Organs 14?(End Instance)
Xu RenDong woke up in the elevator.
There was a familiar low roar beside his ears which was the sound of the elevator running. He opened his eyes and saw the silver-white metal ceiling. His faint shadow was reflected on the ceiling. He blinked in a trance and didn’t come back to his senses for a long time.
He felt excruciating pain all over but the pain was slowly fading. RenDong tried to move and found himself lying on the floor. His back was covered in cold sweat.
....What was going on? Lian Qiao succeeded?
He was struggling to get up when he heard a hoarse voice.
“You’re awake.”
The voice was a little unfamiliar.
RenDong looked back blankly and saw the medical student who was sitting beside him. He was suddenly very uneasy in his heart and, when he looked around, his heart suddenly jumped wildly.
“Lian..cough cough..” RenDong clutched his chest and forcibly held back the dramatic cough. He rushed over and grabbed the medical student’s collar, “Where’s Lian Qiao?!”
The medical student lowered his head and whispered: “He.. he asked me to take you away first..”
RenDong asked sharply: “Why? Why doesn’t he just come with? Isn’t the door already open?!”
The medical student didn’t know what to say. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes and he said in a trembling voice, “Because the gentlemen won’t go away and he caught up to us again!”
RenDong was startled and felt like he fell into an ice cave.
How is that possible? Lian Qiao has already killed him to that point,? how can the gentleman still survive? Besides, there are no dolls on the gentleman anymore..
Wait. Could it be that when the gentleman died, the last puppet on his body happened to be used?! But what about the doll remains? Didn’t Lian Qiao have already search his body? Where was he hiding it?
Xu RenDong’s body was cold. He felt that all the blood in his body was being drawn away bit by bit, and he had almost no strength to stand.
“Then..then he..” The question was difficult. Xu RenDong actually didn’t know what he wanted to ask. His mind went blank and he just wanted to cry, to weep.
The medical student couldn’t bear to see him like this. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted: “Don’t worry. When I left, he was fighting with the gentleman. He was just afraid that something would happen to you, so he asked me to take you away first.
Biting his lip hard, Xu RenDong’s eyes turned red and said, “What about the kidney?”
The medical student was stunned, but did not speak.
RenDong stared at him, and asked every word: “Whose kidney did we use in the end?”
The medical student looked away silently, not daring to look at him.
The answer spoke for itself.
The last kidney was dug out from Lian Qiao’s body.
In order to let him go first, Lian Qiao stayed alone to fight the gentleman. He even bore the? wound of digging out his kidney while alive!
“Why..didn’t you use mine..” RenDong grabbed the medical student’s shoulder and asked repeatedly and crazily. “Why didn’t you use mine? I can’t feel pain anyway and I’m already half dead anyway, why didn’t? you use mine? Why..”
“He refused!” The medical student was suddenly furious and shook off RenDong’s hand, “I persuaded him 10,000 times! He would die rather than agree! How the hell do I know why!”
Xu RenDong fell to the ground in a daze while the medical students continued to scold him.
“If he was willing to dig out your kidney, he wouldn’t be beaten to death by the gentleman at all! Oral painkillers simply can’t achieve that level of anesthesia at all! Even if the gentleman didn’t catch up, he would have lost half his life! I don’t know why he wouldn’t! His brain is sick! You are obviously in a coma and you won’t feel any pain at all! But he just refused!”
Xu RenDong was scolded in the face but his emotions gradually calmed down.
“The time in the elevator is still.” Xu RenDong said.
“Ah?” The medical student was baffled and didn’t understand why he suddenly said this.
“The time in the elevator stands still, so as long as I go out, I can see him. He must be fine because I have? already caught him.” Xu RenDong repeated paranoidly and stubbornly in a very determined tone, “I’ve caught him already.”
“What..” The medical student felt that his mental state was not right and was a little worried, “You calm down..”
Xu RenDong said in a deep voice: “I’m very calm. Before entering the elevator, I was with him. When he fell, I grabbed him. I caught him, I fell with him. I’ll see him as long as I go out.”
The medical students couldn’t understand his words at all but only understood the phrase “as long as I go out, I can see him”.
The medical student actually wanted to say: Even if he is still alive outside, you will only see him for the last time.
After all, when they left the instance, Lian Qiao’s fate could be encompassed by the world “miserable”.
It was simply torture.
The gentleman was an absolute pervert. He has a thousand ways to torture people and he can make people regret that they were born. What’s more, Lian Qiao’s kidney was harvested while alive and he had a big hole in his waist, bleeding profuse blood. Even if the gentleman didn’t kill him and just delayed him for a while, Lian Qiao would bleed to death on his own.
Was there any way to survive this?
The medical student struggled for a moment but never had the heart to tell the truth.
Soon, the elevator made a soft “ding” sound. As soon as the door opened, Xu RenDong walked out without looking back.
The moment he stepped out of the elevator, his eyes suddenly opened up. The direction of gravity suddenly changed and he first felt a weightless dizziness. The surrounding scenery was rapidly regressing and he saw that he and Lian Qiao were falling, falling from the balcony of Lian Qiao’s house to the ground.
“Lian Qiao..” Xu RenDong raised the corner of his mouth,and his eyes fell on the clasped hands of the two.
Caught him.
He caught Lian Qiao before he fell into the elevator. Time in the elevator stood still, so after leaving the elevator, he and Lian Qiao’s hands were also tightly clasped together.
They would fall together. Whether in life or death, they would be together.
Xu RenDong suddenly felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart. That’s it. Whether it’s life or death, as long as we’re together, it’s fine.
When he looked at Lian Qiao with tearful eyes, he found that Lian Qiao’s eyes were erratic and there was no expression on his face.
He looked like he was sleepwalking. His eyes were dead and there was no emotion that could be captured. He looked like someone immersed in a dream that he couldn’t wake up from, just in a trance, just letting himself fall.
He even loosened his fingers slightly, without the strength to hold back.
Xu RenDong’s pupils shrank suddenly. Everything around him was going backwards faster and faster, the wind took away the temperature of his body and he felt the world spinning.
Don’t let go. Don’t let go!
RenDong desperately grabbed hold of him. But Lian Qiao’s fingers slipped from his fingertips little by little and his cold sweaty fingers couldn’t catch him at all.
Don’t..don’t!
RenDong desperately reached out to him, trying to hug him tightly. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from below!
“Bang!”
“Hmm!” RenDong was stunned for not knowing what he bumped into. The huge recoil made him bounce and he was in pain all over his body, especially his two arms were hurting terribly.
“Lian Qiao.. Lian Qiao!” He ignored the pain and got up with his hands and feet on the ground. However, a burst of dizziness struck him suddenly and he fell back darkly, barely breathing.
There was a burst of screaming all around.
Immediately afterwards.
Snap.
It was very dull, the sound of something soft and heavy hitting the concrete floor.
The screams came and went, like needles piercing into the eardrums.
Xu RenDong gritted his teeth, endured the dizziness and vomiting of the concussion and struggled to get up.
Everything around him was spinning. He barely made out that there was a net under him. It was the awning of the store doing business downstairs. For some reason, it was so strong that it was able to catch him who fell from a tall building.
However, he was caught at the edge of the awning. Most of his body was in the awning, with his arms exposed. The huge impact of the fall caused both arms to fold in opposite directions, and his hands were empty. No Lian Qiao.
No Lian Qiao.
Xu RenDong’s mind went blank. For a while, he couldn’t remember where he was or what happened just now.
He just crawled forward instinctively. With the folded arm in severe pain, he forced his body to crawl forward.
Soon, he fell off the edge of the awning cloth and hit the ground hard.
There was another exclamation around.
The sun above his head dimmed, as if someone surrounded him. He couldn’t hear what the people around him were saying, he just felt it was very noisy.
No one dared to help him and he didn’t need anyone to help him. He staggered to his feet, looked around in a hurry and muttered, “Where..cough, cough..”
The blood choked out of his throat.
He wanted to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth but found that his arm was broken and he couldn’t lift it at all.
He had no choice but to ask the people around him vaguely with a blood-stained face, “Where is he? Where is he?”
When passers-by saw his hands were bent back and his bones were exposed, they could not help but retreat in horror. At this time, Xu RenDong was disheveled and in a trance. No matter how you looked at it, he looked crazy. He stumbled forward while muttering “where?”.
With every step he took, the crowd in front of him took a big step back.
Finally someone couldn’t help it and whispered the way: “The person who fell with you is over there.”
Xu RenDong’s eyes were blurred and he could hardly see the direction of the man’s fingers. He wanted to lean in and have a good look,but the man screamed and ran away. Xu RenDong also wanted to ask others. But the others all dispersed.
After dispersing, he finally saw that there were a lot of people not far away, chatting around something.
It must be Lian Qiao.. Lian Qiao must be there!
Xu RenDong ran towards the center of the crowd. The arm swayed, and the broken place was excruciatingly painful. He unexpectedly felt very refreshed, it didn’t matter anyway.
Nothing mattered.
With such cruel pleasure, he rushed to the periphery of the crowd.
Everyone was in a mess and so they didn’t notice the “lunatic” approaching. Xu RenDong desperately wanted to squeeze in, opened his mouth and shouted, “Let me..cough, let me in!”
The crowd of onlookers who blocked his way turned around and suddenly saw his blood-stained face. They made way for him immediately.
However, the people that were crowding the inside were immersed in some kind of perverted excitement, completely ignoring the faint pleas behind them.
Xu RenDong suddenly went crazy and shouted with all his strength: “Let me in! I’m his family member! Get out of the way!” After speaking, he used his half-crippled shoulders to push the person in front of him.
The person blocking the way was taken aback by him, and when he looked at this person again, he was full of murderous aura, as if he really wanted to kill the person blocking him. Everyone was horrified and silently gave way.
RenDong finally came to the center of the crowd.
The first thing he saw was a man lying on the ground. Looking at the clothes and body shape, it was Lian Qiao.
A man squatted in front of Lian Qiao so RenDong couldn’t see Lian Qiao’s face. The man held the phone in one hand and felt Lian Qiao with the other, as if he was following 120’s instructions to rescue him. {120 is China’s emergency number, aka 911 or 000.}
Looking at the back of the stranger, RenDong suddenly lost all courage.
He felt that it was all over and he forgot to even breathe.
The tinnitus in his ears was so severe that he began to lose his hearing. His field of vision was gradually covered by something dark red, probably the blood dripping from his head.
Unfortunately, his hand was broken and he couldn’t wipe it.
Forget it, don’t look. What’s the point, I’d rather die.
Although he didn’t know if he could be resurrected in reality. But— so what?
He was already in that kind of state, nailed to the ground like a nail. You can’t feel the flow of time, you can’t feel the blood, you can’t feel the oxygen, you can’t feel the suffocation.
He doesn’t even feel alive.
Until a white shadow rushed over, the white coat completely blocked his sight. A pair of rubber-gloved hands dangled in front of him like flies.
He didn’t know how to react, so he just stood there blankly.
The white clothed man seemed to say something but he couldn’t hear it. He seemed to be making some gestures towards him, which he did not understand.
Eventually, he was lifted by several people and placed onto a stretcher. The world was spinning and he saw the fiery red maple leaves disappear in an instant. The sky was crystal clear and it was a beautiful autumn scene.
He was tucked into a red and white car, and the sky was replaced by a snow-white roof.
Someone took off his clothes and attached an instrument to his chest. Someone slapped him in the face and spoke loudly. Someone moved his broken arm and it hurt a little, but not too much.
Someone got in through the rear of the car, blocking the light and making the car dark.
“Let me in! I’m a family member! Don’t stop me!”
“I’m fine! Let me in! I want to get in this car!”
“.. RenDong!”
Xu RenDong was shocked, as if his soul suddenly returned to his body. He felt the world rush back in again.
The man pushed away the white coat, pushed away the mess, and stumbled towards him.
Like a reckless little beast, the warmth was blowing in his face. It hurt so much that he couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe.
“RenDong!”
The man’s eyes were red and he was out of breath, crying and scolding: “How the hell are you worse off than me! Didn’t you come out first! How did you fall like this!”
” ..” Xu RenDong’s dazed eyes wandered around, and it took a long time to focus.
The focus of the line of sight fell on a familiar face.
“Lian..Qiao..” He struggled to squeeze two words out of his throat.
“I’m here!” Lian Qiao cried out louder and tried desperately to get into his arms like a face-hugging bug.
“Uh—” RenDong finally lost his focus again. He tried his best to squeeze out the last sentence from the depths of his throat:
“You’re going to crush me..”
