Chapter 188: Special Episode・Blood Pupil Floating Sound
by Jessie@AFNCCFloyd sounded like a lost dog, hiding in a culvert from dawn until dark.
He had lost the cultivation he relied on to defend himself, relying on his body, which had been immersed in secret medicines for years, with the little bit of true qi remaining in his meridians to barely support himself from being revolted by the gong method, but those demonic blood-colored pupils could never be restored to their original state.
This pupil color is equivalent to the identity of the remaining hidden sword door written on the face, floating sound does not dare to see the light, for fear of being discovered and reported for arrest, still can not escape the torture of the imperial prison of the Northern Zhenfuzhi.
Knowing that night had fallen, he half covered his face with a torn bandana, stole some herbs from the backyard of the pharmacy, and hid in a private house.
The private room was rented by Han Ben for the convenience of Yin Fu to rest his feet when he was out shopping, going to temples, or when he didn’t want to stay in the guards’ room in the royal palace on his days off.
Floyd dives in with some conflicting feelings, wishing Han Ben wasn’t there, but also thinking that if he was, he might be able to do something for him.
Han Ben is not there.
Floyd breathed a sigh of regretful relief and boiled water to clean the wound of the center sword, while brewing a medicine based on her experience.
Every breath burned and hurt, and with no surgeon and no true qi to aid in healing, even if he was lucky enough to be cured, he would only fall ill – but who cared about that now that he had nothing left to lose?
The left side of his chest was a bloody mess, and he was grimacing in pain as he tried to close the incision with a needle and thread, when the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
Han Ben froze outside the door and rushed in with three steps, asking anxiously, “How did you get hurt like this?”
Floyd was startled and subconsciously looked up at him, then remembered that she had to cover her pupils.
Too late, Han Ben has already seen, the whole person like being struck by lightning frozen, shocked: “Blood pupil …… you are the hidden sword door assassin ……”
If the power is in the body, floating sound consciously can hold Han Ben, but now the man for the knife and chopping board, he must not be a fish meat, have to think of every way to save themselves. He has studied Han Ben’s temperament and experience, know the other side most eat which set, immediately from the single tear off a piece of cloth tied eyes.
“Don’t look me in the eye!” He said in a voice that seemed stubborn, but was actually panicked and soft, “I don’t want to harm you …… You go away and leave me alone.”
Han Ben took a deep breath and took two steps forward, slowly crouching down, ”Are you really an assassin? Are you really an assassin, lurking in the royal residence, wanting to harm His Highness King Yu? Did you play the flute?”
“–Yes, it’s all me. I am ten evils and deserve to die!” Floyd Yin broke the pot and drank lowly, “If you want to avenge your king, come over and kill me with a knife, don’t think of taking me to the officials, I won’t go to the imperial prison even if I die!”
Han Ben had just put his fingers on the hilt of the knife when he saw that the cloth covering his eyes was instantly dampened, and the teardrops that he couldn’t hold rolled down one by one, lining the quivering dimpled swirls on his cheeks with his pale and small jaw, making him look exceptionally pitiful.
Han Ben couldn’t help but soften his heart and asked, “You were instructed by someone? Who is it? If you give up that person, you may be able to redeem yourself and be forgiven by the court.”
Floating sound choked, “I don t say it is a death, saying it is a more miserable death …… You don t ask, just think of it as a good intention to do a good deed, give me a pain in the ass, let me be relieved to reincarnate earlier, only to ask that I don t suffer from those inhuman tortures in my next life. I will be grateful to you, and I will repay you in my next life by linking rings and knitting grass.”
As he spoke, he tried his best to infiltrate Vertigo in his voice. However, due to the depletion of his true qi, he really couldn’t perform the Nightmare Charm technique, and could only hope that the remaining power of the last technique was still there, and the effect could last as long as possible.
Han Ben hesitated for a long time, put his pulse, and finally sighed: “Your internal strength has been scattered, fear that can not survive the imperial prison of the criminal prisoners, and in the future is no longer able to be manipulated to harm people. I can not stand by and see you on the guillotine …… like this, you know all the inside information written on paper, hand over to me. I arrange to send you out of the capital, away from the people, incognito, and live out this life in peace is.”
Away from the people, incognito, as a farmer or peddler as insignificant as grass? What’s the difference between that and death?
Fuyin gritted his teeth hard, why is it always like this, whether it’s his senior brother who has known him for many years, or Han Ben who claimed to protect him, in the end, they all have to abandon him! Why can they live out a personal life in a fair and square manner, while they have to fight in the nest of beasts, in the mud swamp, struggling to survive, and ultimately ended up in such a situation!
…… Since everyone has failed him, even God refuses to give him a way to live, don t blame him for being vicious, even if he dies, he will pull in the ones who are buried with him.
Han Ben unwrapped his coat and wrapped it around Fuyin, and fretted, “Can your eyes still be restored to their original state, if not, there is a danger of being discovered wherever you go, after all, the wanted notice is still posted in all states and counties ……”
Without saying a word, Floyd pulled out his belt knife and poked it into his own eyes.
Han Ben gripped his wrist, alarmed and deploring: ”What’s wrong with you! I am also thinking of ideas, why should I be so paranoid! This knife down, both eyes destroyed, you ask me how to live with myself in this life ……”
Fuyin hugged Han Ben and let out a loud cry, “I lied to you about everything, what do you care about me! You go away, go back to the king’s mansion and continue to be your chief of guards, I’m a self-inflicted sinner, I don’t need your sympathy!”
Han Ben was crying so much that his heart was stymied into a ball, and wanted to say to him, how much cover have I taken for you this way, and now where do I still have the face to go back to the royal residence. I have been ashamed of the general, can not fall in your place again regret, a few more years, when His Highness returned to the fiefdom, there is a younger and stronger new guards, no longer need me, I will go to your place of seclusion, to accompany you to live the rest of your life.
But this is not now can not say out, a promise is not lightly promised; Secondly, whether he can send him safely out of the capital, is not yet known, a step has not been completed, talk about a hundred thousand steps.
Han Ben patted and stroked Fuyin’s back, comforting her, “Tonight you stay here first, write up the Gu Bai Shu, and I’ll ask someone to send you food and water and medicinal herbs later.”
Fearing that he wouldn’t return once he was gone, Fuyin tugged at the hem of his coat, “I’m seriously injured, I’m afraid it’s hard for me to take care of myself, can you stay with me for the night?”
Han Ben shook his head after hesitation, “Something is going on at the royal residence, I can’t leave tonight, I have to rush back.”
What can be the matter, last night King Yu also went down the secret passage, could it be ……
Fuyin tried, “The king is injured because of last night’s explosion?”
“Hurt my head, but nothing serious.”
“Then why can’t you stay, even if the king is unwell, he still calls for a healer, what’s the use of you going.”
Han Ben frowned, “I really need to go back, the saint is approaching and all the guards in the royal residence are on guard duty. Be a good boy and get some sleep.”
Emperor Jinglong went to Yu Wangfu ……
The ghostly light under Fuyin’s eyes flickered, quickly spreading into a maddening barren fire – under this sky, what other burial goods were more precious than the king of a country? He almost lost his voice and laughed.
It was true that he was now completely disabled and heavily injured, so weak that even Han Ben didn’t bother to put up a defense against him, but the training of the Seven Killers Battalion was seared into his bones, and he still mastered the skill of killing without the use of martial arts.
For example, poison.
“You take me back to the royal residence, I don’t want to run away, I want to personally thank the king for my confession in exchange for leniency.” Fuyin said.
Han Ben was stunned and replied, “If this is your decision, I will support it. But tonight is not the right time, so wait for tomorrow morning and I’ll take you back.”
Fuyin said stiffly, “It still has to be tonight. Han Ben, if you don’t help me, I’ll die, and you won’t get any information then.”
He tore off the cloth binding his eyes, his pupils glowing with blood, not enhanced by the intimidating Kung Fu, but still eerie, “Han Ben, don’t forget the oath you swore to Yin Fu – you believed in him, loved him, and were willing to go through fire and water to do anything for him. Are you going back on your word and forcing him to die alive?”
Han Ben’s eyes widened as he looked at Fuyin, his expression conflicted and odd, as if he thought the person in front of him was unimaginable, but he couldn’t leave him alone and let him fend for himself.
As if a thousand words were swirling in his chest but he could not speak for a moment, he finally let out a long sigh and reached out to press the back of Fuyin’s neck at the vital point.
–Han Ben is going to kill me? After a very short period of horror, a strong sneer and disappointment welled up in Fuyin’s heart, and making a weak and disengaged face, she closed her breath and planted herself in his arms before the other party could touch her.
Han Ben wanted to point floating sound back neck sleep point, suddenly saw him dying fainted, even the nostrils also dissipated, under the mourning to reach out and embrace, followed by a slight pain in his waist and eyes.
It was as if a little spark seeped into his bloodstream along with that stabbing pain, burning him into a sea of fire from within – Han Ben’s body convulsed violently, and he opened his mouth only unable to speak.
Fuyin gasped heavily, drew out his poisoned, spiked shaped short sword, and with a trembling hand, fished out the token of the guard commander from within Han Ben’s lapel.
He was full of pleasure, but his eyes were unknowingly moist, blinked his eyelids hard, and sneered, “I knew you couldn’t be relied upon. No, I should say it’s the nightmare charm technique that can’t be relied on, no matter how much more mesmerizing and hypnotizing it is, it’s after all an external force that is added to it, and once it contradicts the other party’s true heart, it will break.”
He pushed Han Ben to the ground with force and stumbled a few steps himself, unable to resist asking, ”When did you break free of the mesmerizing spell. Was it at the end, when I forced you to take me back to the royal residence tonight? Do you want to protect your king so badly that you’re afraid he’ll take the charge of regicide and be reviled by the subjects of the world?”
The poison caused the limbs to spasm, Han Ben’s eyes were painful and sad, and he opened and closed his lips to say something with difficulty.
Floyd wanted to leave, but was resigned to not getting an answer, so he leaned in to listen carefully-
“The moment I pushed the door and saw you …… I came to my senses …… I knew it wasn’t worth it …… and I was going to cut you off. However, seeing you injured like that and losing your martial arts skills, no one will care if you die or live in the future. …… I can’t bear to… …I just thought of …… giving you a hand ……”
I couldn’t bear it, so I thought I’d give you a hand.
Floyd thought blankly, what was he talking about? False, lying, no one would turn around, not Shifu, not Han Ben. It wasn’t his intention, it was just the mesmerizing technique.
Han Ben is just a tool, now he can’t be used for me and will hinder my plan, isn’t it only right to get rid of him?
-He couldn’t have really saved me.
–Even if there is some sincerity, what can he give me? Riches, power, a life as you wish? No, I knew he couldn’t give me any of that.
–So what is it that I want, exactly?
In a moment of disorientation, the Poison Sword fell to the ground out of his hand.
Han Ben used his spastic fingers to rub over the ground a little bit, and with great difficulty, he gripped the sword in the flute that was as sharp as a thorn, and with all his strength, he stabbed into Fuyin’s calf.
Fuyin couldn’t stand and half-kneeled, gazing down at Han Ben, and strangely enough, didn’t feel too much intense pain.
Probably because of the overdose, even the pain in his body was numb, he thought.
“…… Han Ben.” He called dreamily, “Are you dying?”
But Han Ben could no longer speak a word and began to spit out a large mouthful of ebony blood mixed with broken pieces of internal organs.
“At least there is you, come to give me a funeral.” Fuyin said softly, the last breath of intention to support the vitality of the air leaks, downward collapsed on him, “Unfortunately, ah, only you a …… good or good.”
He murmured, closing his scarlet, bloodshot eyes.
In his dream there was a flute sounding like a breeze around a green branch. There is someone under the branch, willing to take his hand and go home together.
