Chapter 1432: The Grand Finale (18)
Zang Xiaolian sensed an unprecedented surge of emotions in him, his footsteps were struggling to keep up, and his mind recalled the instructions Wei Changqing had given him when he was assigned to follow Xiao Yebai: if he noticed any abnormal emotions from Xiao Yebai, he was to immediately inform others. His fingers discreetly pressed the emergency button on the communication device on his waist.
Running ahead of him, Xiao Yebai suddenly halted.
Just two meters away, stood a man, white-haired, with skin so pale it seemed transparent, and his eyes were almost white too. It was the legendary villain Luo Ke.
Zang Xiaolian, startled, drew his gun while standing behind Xiao Yebai.
Opposite, Luo Ke glanced at the gun barrel in his hand, brushed the bangs from his forehead, appearing unexpectedly relaxed and carefree, as if he foresaw the situation would unfold this way. He smirked and said, "You’re here for Mu, right?"
"Where is he?" Xiao Yebai’s icy voice echoed down the dark corridor.
"I don’t know." Luo Ke said, lazily stuffing his hands into the pockets of his outerwear, "Don’t say you’re looking for him, I’m searching for him too. But you know, someone as clever as him—"
Indeed, the entire Dark Island was now in chaos because—Mu was long gone.
"Yes, he has abandoned all of us," Luo Ke revealed the hidden truth lurking in Xiao Yebai’s hearts, "That’s the ending, Xiao Yebai, do you understand?"
"What do you mean?" Zang Xiaolian only felt that his words were extremely eerie, his voice trembling with questioning. What ending? They hadn’t found Mu, how could it be the end?
Luo Ke suddenly laughed, threw his head back in laughter, and as he laughed, a stream of blood spurted from his nostrils.
Facing him, the two people’s expressions changed simultaneously.
Xiao Yebai suddenly lunged forward, grabbed the man’s neck, slammed him against the wall, and said, "You can’t possibly not know where he is. —Speak!"
"I really don’t know, Xiao Yebai. If you want to know the true story, I can tell you. The fact is, I’m just a pawn of his." Luo Ke remained expressionless, despite the incessant bleeding from his mouth and nose, and the bleeding seemed unstoppable, even gods couldn’t save him, "He knows I’m going to die, so he must find another pawn to use. That person, the best choice, is naturally you, you have the same madness as me, as long as he does to you what he did to me."
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yebai’s lips trembled, unclear if it was intense anger or some other emotion.
Luo Ke felt the hand squeezing his neck exert more force, a touch of death appeared at the corner of his mouth, he raised his hand, intending to brush Xiao Yebai’s face, looking at him with dazed eyes: "You’re a lot like me, really like me, so I neither want to kill you nor bear to kill you. But you will walk the same path as I did, you will go mad. These are the truths."
Listening to their conversation, Zang Xiaolian was not only confused but also felt an unprecedented fear just from seeing the changes in Xiao Yebai’s expression.
"Second brother!" Zang Xiaolian found his voice and pulled Xiao Yebai’s arm, saying, "Calm down, we can take him back to the ship and interrogate him there."
"Impossible, I’m about to die, no one can save me. Moreover, if you don’t leave now, you’ll really be buried with me here." Trailing Luo Ke’s words, a loud noise erupted from deep inside the castle, it was a chain explosion from the bombs buried underground. The foundation they were standing on violently shook, the ceiling cracked, countless bricks and dust fell like rain. A wall had already begun to collapse.
