"How do you feel? This game is quite thrilling, isn't it?"
Li Rui naturally knew who the voice belonged to. He smiled; this Death Game was indeed fun. After struggling for so long with nothing at hand, he finally managed to find the location at the very end!
But what was frustrating was why this beggar hadn’t done anything to him.
Moreover, the game rules set by this Madman were hardly rules at all. They were so arbitrary that there had never been any precedent for such a thing.
Suddenly! Tears streamed down the Madman's face in front of Li Rui. What…
The latter was momentarily at a loss. What was wrong with this guy? He suddenly started crying. A man doesn’t shed tears easily unless he reaches deep into his heart. Could it be that he had some untold secrets?
Li Rui didn’t speak; he felt it wasn’t a good time for conversation. Besides, looking at this guy’s always strange demeanor, who knew if he would be laughing in the next second after crying now?
"Can I leave now?"
At this moment, Li Rui just wanted to get out of this hellish place. If he stayed with this Madman any longer, he feared he might…
Meanwhile, Li Rui noticed something: the person sitting in front of him had abruptly disappeared. What…
"Are you referring to him?"
Immediately, the Madman raised his hands, revealing a crystal ball that displayed an image. At that moment, Li Rui rubbed his eyes repeatedly, staring at the current situation. He had never imagined that the person who had been sitting there was the beggar from earlier!
Especially those eyes—chillingly piercing!
"Your crimson eyes make me feel an unprecedented sense of danger."
The Madman suddenly became normal again. Li Rui felt a bit unaccustomed to it; he had previously been acting crazy, but now…
"What do you want to express?"
"Do you want to hear my story?"
Li Rui originally intended to shake his head, fearing that something troublesome was about to happen, but he could only nod slightly.
"Swallow this thing, and then you can listen to my story."
The latter took the Dan Pill from Madman's hand with skepticism. It looked somewhat similar to an Elixir, but he had no idea what ingredients or side effects it contained.
"Should I take a gamble? Or not?" Li Rui thought for a moment, frowning.
But in the end, he chose the latter.
As he swallowed the Dan Pill, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, creating a somewhat comical scene!
However, all of this was within Madman's expectations.
The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, the scene changed once more! It was that beggar, and what connection did this beggar have with him? This...
At this moment, Li Rui was like a remnant shadow, untouchable and invisible.
During this time, the beggar was walking on the street, extending his hand countless times to ask others for something to eat, without any other thoughts.
"I just want food, I'm not greedy for money!" Just like a vendor selling candied hawthorns who wanted to give the beggar a couple of silver coins, the latter withdrew his hand and said calmly.
This action was still amusing, but in the next second, the vendor couldn't help but slap the beggar across the face!
This...
"Why did you hit me?" the beggar murmured.
"I won't give you money, so don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. I won't fall for that. Get lost, and don't let me see you here again, or I'll kill you," the group said repeatedly.
Li Rui couldn't stand it any longer and was about to take action when he realized his hand had grasped nothing—empty air!
What surprised him even more was that the beggar had been beaten. This was just a child, only a few years old. How could these people be so heartless to do such a vile thing to a kid?
The scene was truly horrifying! Suddenly, the beggar's eyes changed; his blue pupils looked quite terrifying. With just one glare, those who had attacked him turned to ashes.
Li Rui stood aside, swallowing hard and rubbing his eyes, unable to believe what he was witnessing. What on earth was happening? The moment they turned to ashes lasted only a breath.
And that wasn't all; in the blink of an eye, everyone around began to scream madly! They looked at this beggar as if he were a madman.
It was no wonder; such a huge incident had occurred suddenly. Although several lives were lost, in this harsh reality, lives were as insignificant as grass. Without power, one would be bullied by others.
At this moment, the beggar was extremely frightened. Perhaps it was because it was his first time killing someone; the kind of fear he felt couldn't be expressed in words.
He then rushed straight to the local Mountain God Temple, which was where Li Rui used to go!
During this time, he had stayed indoors, while outside there were notices posted about him. Some even offered bounties for his capture. At this moment, the Sect had surrounded him!
The beggar lived a life of constant fear and anxiety, always worried that if he got caught...
Good times didn't last long; he would eventually be captured. When the beggar entered a gentleman's home, the life that followed was truly unbearable. His Azure Dragon eyes were even gouged out! And that wasn't all; next came the task of moving goods, followed by being someone else's "punching bag."
Li Rui felt a deep sorrow; he never expected the beggar had such a past.
Until one day, this family seemed to have offended a powerful force and was slaughtered overnight! Only a beggar survived, lying next to a corpse to conceal his presence. He feared that if he were discovered, he would also die, which showed how strong his will to survive was.
Half a month passed, and it was unimaginable how he lived alongside the corpse for that long without even a morsel of food; it was truly inhumane.
When he turned over, he suddenly saw someone approaching. Their eyes met!
"It must be uncomfortable among the dead! Follow me, and you'll have a bite to eat and a sip of soup. How about that?"
The newcomer was another beggar. Li Rui blinked in surprise; this guy actually had some strength! It was truly terrifying.
From then on, the Old Beggar took the beggar under his wing, and they became like family. The latter tried hard to help him overcome his past shadows.
At first, the latter was very resistant and distrustful of everyone, but time's trials proved stronger than all that! The Old Beggar even healed his eyes. Although they were no longer the blue ones he once had, being able to see was already a blessing, which delighted the beggar.
At that moment, the latter regarded the Old Beggar as the closest person in his life.
Their relationship gradually improved until one day when the Old Beggar was killed. This...
