Chapter 216: Prison Part (Main Line) 104: Adding a Watch to Purple Orchid’s transformation into an Eggplant
Chapter 216
When the world was still fighting over that one thing, a piece of news made all countries temporarily stop the battle.
Simply put, the thing they were fighting over was gone.
The treasure they had placed in Flightless Bird was missing.
After investigation, it was discovered that the warden of Flightless Bird had released Shen Yue and several other prisoners. The warden was immediately dismissed and locked up.
After further in-depth investigation, the person behind the former warden was also found, and that person was Si Chengyou.
Si Chengyou was also locked up.
This time, it was a real prison.
There are many ways to make people talk, and there are many ways to torture. No matter how those people tortured Si Chengyou, even using mental torture, they couldn’t make Si Chengyou lose his mind and spit out the truth.
After all, Si Chengyou was already used to despair.
But Si Chengyou was still human after all.
After being tortured relentlessly for five days and nights, he too had reached his limit, and even had hallucinations, seeing his father, elder sister, and elder brother.
"Elder brother, what happened to your hand?"
"Oh this? My body was blown into many pieces back then. Now it occasionally falls apart. Don't worry, just piece it back together and it'll be fine."
Si Chengyou watched as his elder brother took his severed hand with his one good hand, placed it on the severed wound, and soon, the hand was restored to its original state.
"See, good as new now."
Si Chengyou laughed softly. His elder brother hadn't changed one bit, still so carefree.
He looked towards another, more aged figure, and spoke.
Si Chengyou woke abruptly from the hallucination. He felt the pain in his body, and remembered everything he had planned.
He was a man heavy with sin. He wanted to use himself as fertilizer for the sun to shine again, but was infatuated with the sun's color and warmth.
Now, he had to personally take everything away again.
Just as Shen Yue said, Space-time Medium had to have regret to activate, but Shen Yue had no regrets now.
So as not to let Shen Hui have regrets.
So the last thing he could do was...make Shen Yue regret him.
But what right did he have to make Shen Yue feel regret? He was just someone Shen Yue met in prison with ulterior motives. They hadn't even opened their hearts to each other. What right did he, Si Chengyou, have?
Si Chengyou didn't even know himself. He had no bottom line. This was a gamble. He was betting his life on a possibility, betting that there was a chance Shen Yue would regret this.
What if Shen Yue didn't regret it?
Then all he could hope was that at the very end, Shen Yue could enjoy a moment of happiness with those people by her side.
【I can't become a hero】
【I can't protect the land that raised me】
【I can't find a way out of this】
【The last thing I can do is bet my life on that faint possibility】
【I'm sorry, Father】
【I'm sorry, Shen Yue】
I love the sun. I can burn myself up for it, but I can't embrace it.
