Chapter 218 Even wanting to commit suicide for love, I don't know where to kowtow.
As Lin Sui swiftly formed hand seals, a blinding white light gradually condensed between her rapidly moving fingers.
As the white light in the corner gradually faded, the figure of the little bell slowly came into view.
Lin Sui suddenly realized.
Although she had long guessed that there would be the remaining power of the fallen god below—from the fact that He had specially arranged for Cheng Feng and Cheng Yuexiu to come to this session, Lin Sui knew that He must also hope that she could get rid of the cave god Tai Sui.
Therefore, it will inevitably leave her with some assistance.
Unexpectedly, the divine power had been attached to Xiao Lingdang's soul all along.
Come to think of it, this is the territory of the Cave God after all. If the divine power remains here, it might be absorbed by the Cave God.
Attach it to the little bell so she can take it out, and when the time is right, have her bring it back. That way, there will be no problem.
Because she was a sacrifice offered to an evil god, her special status allowed her to bear this still somewhat weak divine power.
It was this divine power that saved her soul.
Unlike her father, mother, and brother, who became ugly, dark red mold and had no chance of reincarnation.
This allowed Cheng Feng to escape.
As for why they couldn't save Xiaolingdang, it was probably because the sacrificial ritual had begun, and their meager divine power was insufficient to reverse the situation.
It was precisely because of Xiaolingdang's escape that the ritual could not be fully completed, which led to the family of three being forced to sacrifice themselves.
All I can say is that they brought it on themselves.
In a flash, all the white light gathered together.
Enveloped in white light, Lin Sui was instantly blinded, as if facing pitch blackness, unable to see anything clearly.
Divine power is not something that just anyone can easily control or wield.
The internal organs experienced another excruciating pain of being crushed and churned.
Lin Sui's fair and smooth forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She endured the pain all over her body and made her hand seals faster and faster.
Fresh blood kept dripping from his palm, and the white light was also stained with streaks of bright red blood.
Finally, the white light condensed in her hand and burst forth with a dazzling brilliance.
Lin Sui held a bow in his left hand and nocked several divine arrows forged from divine power in his right. With a release, thousands of arrows were launched at the enormous monster in the water.
In an instant, the ground shook.
The part of the cave god beneath Lin Sui's feet churned wildly like an earth dragon, making her lose her balance and fall to the ground.
It was as if bombs had been dropped into the water; as the cave spirit struggled violently, several sprays of water, hundreds of feet high, exploded up.
It was as if even the air itself was trembling.
Lin Sui clutched her collar, feeling short of breath.
"Master Lin, you'd better leave quickly, or everything here will vanish without a trace, and you'll be wiped out along with it."
The little bell floated to her side and said anxiously.
Lin Sui knew.
The passing of a god has an immeasurable chain reaction.
This is a void world created by the Cave God. When He dies, this place will also disappear.
Despite the excruciating pain that made her feel like her body was falling apart, Lin Sui forced herself to stand up and staggered toward the vast underground lake.
If she jumps in, she should be able to return to Longevity Village, or to the crevice where she fell.
But at that moment, the "ground" shook even more violently, and Lin Sui, who was already exhausted, fell to the ground again.
She was facing a gigantic monster in the water.
Then it was seen that the divine arrows shot at Him were like a giant net, slowly closing in.
The massive body struggled even more fiercely within the net of arrows.
Yet it still couldn't withstand the power of the divine arrow she had refined. In its struggle, it slowly shrank, finally transforming into a white streak of light that flew towards the void above and disappeared into the thick darkness.
This scene caught Lin Sui completely off guard.
Did He run away?
But that's not right. This place is still disappearing, and the air is getting thinner and thinner.
The cave god was indeed destroyed.
Seeing that the lake was about to disappear, Lin Sui didn't have time to think and immediately got up.
Suddenly everything went black, and she collapsed.
"Master Lin!"
Little Bell was frantic. She tried to help Lin Sui up, but her hand passed right through her body and she couldn't touch her at all.
Yes, she is a ghost; she cannot touch living people.
Little Bell was so anxious she was almost in tears.
"No, no rush, let me calm down, calm down..."
Lin Sui closed his eyes and murmured to himself. He lay on the ground for a while to recover before gritting his teeth, propping himself up on his arms, and slowly crawling toward the disappearing lake.
The lake is clearly within reach, yet it seems as if it's a world away.
Lin Sui tried her best not to think about how far it would be, or whether she would still be unable to escape the fate of being wiped out.
She just kept crawling, even though her speed was like a snail's pace, she gritted her teeth and tried her best to crawl.
Because she said, "Don't be afraid, wait for her."
She absolutely cannot break her promise.
But it was as if a black cloth was covering my eyes, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
The thin air further exacerbated her already dwindling strength.
Her heart was still screaming in pain, telling her to lie down where she was, or it would go on strike.
Lin Sui was at a loss.
She gasped for breath, unable to resist cursing the god of ruin again, saying that all he knew was how to enslave cattle and horses, but he didn't know how to give her a cheat code, even just a teleportation would be nice.
But she didn't even have the energy to curse anymore.
She lay there helplessly, a strong sense of resentment welling up inside her.
Their tragic fates hadn't even changed yet, and she died like this, it's such a waste...
So, can she become a vengeful ghost? She wants to cultivate herself into a ghost king and defeat that damned evil god.
Lin Sui's mind wandered, and her consciousness grew increasingly muddled.
Just before he was about to fall into a coma, a cool fragrance wafted towards him.
Then her body was lifted into the air, as if someone had picked her up horizontally.
Then, with a splash, Lin Sui sank completely into the water.
Before she could feel suffocating, the feeling of being surrounded by water quickly disappeared.
Lin Sui was in a daze and tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt extremely heavy, as if they were stuck together.
She could only vaguely sense that she was being leaned against a cool, fragrant embrace.
Only after a pill was put into his mouth did his persistent heart pain begin to subside.
A warm current emanated from the vest, as if the churning internal organs had received a refreshing rain, and the icy limbs began to warm up.
She came back to life.
"Didn't they say they found the entrance? Where is it?!"
"No, don't panic! I... I'm looking for it, you know? Let's... let's talk this out. Can you please put the knife down from my neck? You're making me very nervous..."
Intermittent voices could be heard, and the next second, the person holding her placed her on the cold, hard ground, making her lean against the stone wall.
A cold, icy hand, almost touching the ground, gently stroked her cheek and forehead.
This touch and this taste are not unfamiliar; Lin Sui had experienced them in the hospital.
Her physical recovery also gave her some strength, and she forced her eyelids open a crack.
In the dim light, only a bright flashlight shone, stinging her eyes that had been deprived of ordinary light for so long, causing her to shed physiological tears.
"Lin, Lin Sui?"
The hoarse shout, trembling slightly, carried a hint of disbelief.
Lin Sui thought that even though Xing Ran was so wicked, she was still so frightened that she almost cried.
All sound disappeared, and everyone held their breath. The empty cave was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Her barely audible "hmm" seemed to weigh a ton, crashing heavily onto everyone's hearts, which were almost stopped beating, leaving a deafening echo.
That was the relief and lingering fear of surviving a disaster.
Lin Sui is still alive and well.
They all survived.
The bright light quickly moved away, and Si Xingran collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.
It was hard to tell whether the tears streaming down his face were water or sweat.
"Sui Sui!"
Her disheveled, petite figure resembled a cannonball, rushing forward first.
The moment she was embraced, Lin Sui felt incredibly safe and relaxed.
She let herself sink completely into darkness, and before she fell asleep, she was still thinking that Tangtang calling her name seemed to be able to speak without any stuttering.
……
Lin Sui slept for a full day and night.
When I woke up again, I found myself unsurprisingly in a familiar hospital room.
—On her years of entanglement with the hospital.
The things she had to say about her relationship with the hospital.
It was dusk, and the sunset was absolutely beautiful.
A large sunflower sits in a vase by the window, growing towards the sun.
Looking at this vibrant scene, Lin Sui finally felt a real sense of returning to the human world.
Both her hands were wrapped up like rice dumplings. She turned her head and saw that the others weren't much better off than her.
Li Ye's entire forearm was wrapped in bandages.
Lu Xiang and Tang Xi's legs were covered with sterile gauze.
Si Xingran's palms quickly turned into rice dumplings, just like hers.
Yu Cinian's foot wound became infected, and he immediately had to use a wheelchair.
At this moment, the five people sat quietly around her hospital bed, looking at her expressionlessly.
According to Mao Yang, the people just sat there watching her for as long as she was unconscious.
Lin Sui: ...No wonder I always feel hairy when I'm asleep.
She knew that her sudden disappearance must have terrified these people.
She could also imagine what would happen if they went to extremes.
Now that she has woken up safely, apart from her bloodied hands which are particularly glaring, everything else, including her heart, is fine. After their shock and worry subside, it will be time for them to settle accounts with her.
Even Mao Yang, who said he wouldn't disturb her, deliberately left a crack in the door and peeked outside, ready to eavesdrop on how she would be scolded.
Lin Sui cleared her throat and said, "I can explain this."
"Explain what?" Lu Xiang crossed her arms, her tone full of sarcasm. "Explain why you keep saying you won't let us take risks, is it because you planned to dump us again from the start?"
Her voice was unsteady, concealing a deep sense of lingering fear. Her fingers anxiously pinched the flesh of her arm, and her bloodshot eyes stared unblinkingly at Lin Sui, as if afraid that this was just a dream.
This time, the opponent is not human, but an evil god.
God knows how much she hated herself the moment she discovered Lin Sui was missing, hated herself for not simply tying her up.
Sure enough, she was still too soft-hearted when it came to Lin Sui.
This is not a good sign.
Lin Sui instinctively felt that there was something dangerous in her eyes, so she quickly raised a rice dumpling and swore: "I didn't lie, and I'm not saying sweet words to deceive you. At that time, I was really 90% sure, and I really didn't expect that the Cave God's lair was the exit."
She only realized it when she reached the crevice, and by then she had no choice.
As for a 90% chance of success—if they really were facing the Cave God together, it might be a 100% chance.
At least after she was in so much pain that she was exhausted, they could have carried her out; how could she have almost not been able to get out?
It has to be said that this cave god is truly insidious. He didn't leave her a single helper, and even if he couldn't kill her, he was determined to take her down with him.
"But why? Why are so many things coveting you?"
Yu Cinian tenderly stroked her zongzi-shaped hand, a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were dark: "Perhaps I should lock you up and hide you away, so that you won't be stolen?"
He began to consider the feasibility of this approach, and Lin Sui swallowed hard: "Why don't you ask other people for their opinions?"
Yu Cinian readily agreed, smiling as he turned to ask, "What do you think?"
Li Ye, Si Xingran, and Lu Xiang said in unison, "We have no objection."
Only Tang Xi remained silent, and Lin Sui looked over expectantly.
But then Tang Xi thought for a moment and asked Yu Cinian seriously, "Could it be... not a house?"
Can we please not have the dark room?
“Sure.” Yu Cinian smiled. “Let’s build a sunny greenhouse, plant lots of flowers and plants, and make it brighter.”
Tang Xi nodded in satisfaction: "Okay!"
Lin Sui: “…”
She muttered to herself, "Once the evil god's power rises, it won't matter where you hide."
"What, Master Lin, are you implying there will be a next time, and the time after that?" Si Xingran raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face.
Lin Sui didn't answer, and it was unclear whether she was tacitly agreeing.
Si Xingran's face darkened instantly, and he was furious: "Then please remember to remind us next time, give us a location, so that we don't have to search for your body and not know where to go, or not know which direction to kowtow to if we want to commit suicide!"
His voice became hoarse and trembled as he spoke.
He had never felt so terrified, nor so powerless.
A living person just vanished into thin air, while they could only do useless work outside, less useful than a cat.
Although he never saw the cat in the end.
Lin Sui: “…”
"I know I was wrong," Li Ye said in a low voice. "Even if I was absolutely certain, I shouldn't have acted impulsively without considering my own safety and the consequences. What about you?"
His gaze fell on Lin Sui's zongzi hand, still seeing its scarred appearance before him—he had suffered much worse injuries, but he just couldn't bear to see Lin Sui like this.
Lin Sui was speechless.
It really is a boomerang.
Lin Sui sighed and finally chose to show weakness.
She struggled to rummage through the inside pockets of her clothes.
It took me ages to finally pull out the broken heart rate bracelet.
She held the bracelet in her white fist and showed it to them.
Her voice lowered unconsciously, tinged with grievance and sadness: "The bracelet my mother left me is broken."
The villains were taken aback.
This was the first time they had heard Lin Sui mention his mother.
And she was clearly not referring to the eccentric and selfish biological mother from the Lin family.
However, they could still see how important the bracelet was to her.
She always wore it on her wrist and never took it off. Even if it was for real-time heart rate monitoring, it shouldn't be an old model from more than ten years ago.
Si Xingran had long wanted to reinstall the system on her bracelet.
Just as I was about to take it, the half-closed ward door was suddenly pushed open.
An old Taoist master with white hair and beard, dressed in a black robe, was helped in by Mao Yang.
"Can I take a look?" the old master asked, looking at the bracelet.
Lin Sui was stunned: "Master?"
