Kouya Toyo lifted his head, noticing that Shen Zhao Yi's body was trembling violently, a look of agony etched on his face.
"Quick..." Shen Zhao Yi's voice came out in gasps, "Transfer all your pain... to me..."
Kouya Toyo hesitated, unsure why Shen Zhao Yi would ask for such a thing.
But now, he had no time to ponder.
He focused his mind and transferred all his pain onto Shen Zhao Yi.
In an instant, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhao Yi let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground.
"This..." Kouya Toyo stared at the fallen Shen Zhao Yi, confusion swirling in his heart.
Suddenly, he noticed that Shen Zhao Yi's left hand was adorned with numerous rings.
Those rings were made from the eyes of the deceased.
"Could it be..." A thought sparked in Kouya Toyo's mind.
He stepped closer to examine Shen Zhao Yi carefully.
He discovered a barcode behind Shen Zhao Yi's ear.
That barcode was identical to...
"Just like Xiao Yu's," Kouya Toyo exclaimed in shock.
He realized that Shen Zhao Yi was not his enemy.
She had always been protecting him, protecting Little Rain.
“Shen Zhao Yi...” Kouya Toyo knelt beside Shen Zhao Yi, gently calling her name.
Shen Zhao Yi slowly opened her eyes and looked at Kouya Toyo.
“You... finally... understand,” she said weakly.
“Why...” Kouya Toyo asked in confusion, “Why did you do this?”
“Because...” a faint smile appeared on Shen Zhao Yi's lips, “I... am also... an experiment.”
She pointed to the barcode behind her ear.
“This barcode... is... my... curse.”
“I... have been... searching for... a way to lift... the curse.”
“And you... are... my... hope.”
“I... have infused... all the pain... I accumulated... throughout my life...”
“Into... my heart...”
“This way... I can... temporarily suppress... the symptoms of rabies...”
“But... I... am also... about to... die...” Shen Zhao Yi's voice grew weaker.
“No... you won't die,” Kouya Toyo grasped Shen Zhao Yi's hand. “I won't let you die.”
“It’s useless...” Shen Zhao Yi shook her head. “My... time... has come...”
"Promise me..." Shen Zhao Yi looked at Kouya Toyo, "Protect... Xiao Yu..."
"And also..."
"Find... Zhou Shenyong..."
"He... knows... everything..."
Shen Zhao Yi's voice abruptly ceased, her hand falling weakly to her side.
"Shen Zhao Yi!" Kouya Toyo cried out in anguish.
But Shen Zhao Yi would no longer respond to him.
Kouya Toyo held Shen Zhao Yi's lifeless body, tears streaming down his face.
He did not know how long he had been crying.
When he finally lifted his head, his eyes were filled with hatred and fury.
"Neon Kennel..." he gritted his teeth, "I will make you pay!"
He gently laid Shen Zhao Yi's body down, stood up, and walked into the depths of darkness.
Zhou Shenyong must be waiting for him somewhere.
Now, only Zhou Shenyong could reveal the truth to him.
Only he could help him save Xiao Yu and destroy Neon Kennel.
Kouya Toyo's figure vanished into the shadows.
Only the body of Shen Zhao Yi lay quietly there.
A hint of relief graced her face.
She had finally freed herself from all pain and bondage.
Kouya Toyo's heart was filled with hatred and anger.
A resolute light flickered in his eyes.
He would stop at nothing to avenge Shen Zhao Yi.
To avenge Xiao Yu.
To avenge all those persecuted by Neon Kennel.
In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged. It was Zhou Shenyong.
He gazed in the direction Kouya Toyo had vanished, a complex expression crossing his face.
"Kouya Toyo," he murmured, "you... have finally... come this far."
"From here on... it’s up to you."
Zhou Shenyong's figure also disappeared into the darkness.
