Yan Lin covered her face with both hands and let out a pained cry. She still couldn't make a choice in her heart...
"Five, four, three, two..." Huai Ji had already stood up and conjured a ball of flame with one hand. It was obvious that he was going to burn out the eyes.
"Don't... don't do this... I'll choose, okay? I'll choose!"
Yan Lin looked at Huai Ji with a resentful look in her eyes.
Huai Ji patiently squatted down again, pinching Yan Lin's cheek and saying, "You've seen it. If you don't choose, you'll end up like them, with no chance of reincarnation."
The people in nurse uniforms beside the laboratory were standing in a row not far away. Each of them had their eyes gouged out and tongues pulled out. It was extremely terrifying.
"Just choose the person you think should die for you."
Yan Lin sobbed, and her gaze swept over me and Li Xue. In fact, I knew better than anyone else that the person Huai Ji wanted her to choose must be me.
I had already prepared myself mentally to accept the fact that Yan Lin would choose me.
Finally, Yan Lin fixed her gaze on me, looking at me with a resentful look in her eyes.
"Lan Lan, I'm sorry..."
I wanted to say something, but because my mouth was sealed with tape, I couldn't say a word.
"...This time, I won't let you suffer for me anymore." After saying that, Yan Lin turned one of her hands into five claws and grabbed at Huai Ji.
However, how could she be a match for Huai Ji? He sidestepped, and one of his hands directly clasped onto Yan Lin's crown.
I was stunned at that moment. My eyes widened, and I just stood there motionless. It took me a long time to come to my senses.
I desperately shook the ropes that were binding me, and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Woo woo woo..." I shouted Yan Lin's name loudly, but I really couldn't say anything.
I desperately tugged at the ropes with both hands. The skin on my wrists was already worn out, and blood was dripping. Finally, with a hard pull, the ropes actually came loose.
I glanced at Bai Ling'er. She lifted her eyes and wanted to stop me, but I pushed her aside and ran towards Yan Lin.
However, it was already too late. Yan Lin's soul had been scattered and disappeared inside the laboratory.
I didn't even get to see her for the last time.
I tore off the tape on my mouth and let out a heart - rending scream: "Yan Lin... Yan Lin, ah..."
Watching Yan Lin disappear, I was filled with burning anger. Flames seemed to shoot out of my eyes. I picked up the stool on the ground and threw it at Huai Ji.
"You devil, give Yan Lin back to me." I threw the stools in the front row one by one.
Huai Ji always showed mercy to women. He dodged the stools thrown at him with ease. He raised one hand and directly grabbed towards my neck.
At the same time, Bai Qi's pistol flew out of nowhere.
Huai Ji didn't even try to dodge. He grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in front of him. My eyes widened in horror as I watched the pistol flying straight towards my chest.
At that moment, a thought of seeking death popped up in my mind. Maybe it would be better to just die like this so that I wouldn't have to feel the pain of separation and death.
Seeing this, Bai Qi waved his arm, and a white talisman flew out of his hand and hit the muzzle of his pistol. The talisman paper and the muzzle exploded into a golden flower in front of me.
The pistol spun and flew back into his hand.
"Huai Ji, you're so despicable." Bai Qi put away his pistol and tucked it behind his back. His eyes stared fiercely at Huai Ji's face.
Huai Ji wasn't angry either. He put one hand on my neck and said, "Do you still think you're my superior? Now you're just a dog that has betrayed its master. Is it worth it for a woman?"
"Be smart and let her go, or I'll make you die a terrible death." Bai Qi looked like a teenager just a second ago, but at this moment, he transformed back into an adult. His sharp eyes stared intently at Huai Ji.
A strong aura of killing permeated his whole body. This time, Huai Ji had really touched Bai Qi's bottom line.
Huai Ji wasn't willing to show weakness either. He threw me beside Bai Ling'er and said to Bai Qi in a commanding tone, "Tell me, where is the snake scale?"
"If you want the snake scale, go to the Underworld to get it."
As soon as the words were out, Bai Qi's pistol was thrown out again, straight towards Huai Ji's chest.
Huai Ji wasn't willing to back down either. He conjured two curved blades with one hand and fought with Bai Qi inside the laboratory.
Suddenly, sparks and lightning filled the entire emergency room. The lights on the ceiling were blown to pieces.
Taking advantage of the gap when they were fighting, I rushed to Li Xue's side in a hurry. I untied the ropes on her body and pulled out the white cloth from her mouth.
The scene of Yan Lin just now had obviously scared her badly. The moment she was untied, she quickly hugged me and burst into tears.
Thinking of Yan Lin, my heart ached so much. I patted her on the back and tried my best to comfort her.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take you out."
Just as I was about to pull Li Xue away, the group of evil spirits in the laboratory gradually approached us. They were extremely hungry at the moment and seemed to be looking for food.
Li Xue was so scared that her legs went weak, and her mouth kept making trembling sounds.
I quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from making any noise.
Bai Ling'er took out her long whip and was about to step forward when Bai Qi rode on Huai Ji's body and leaped down from the air.
Huai Ji's back hit the ground heavily, creating a deep pit on the ground.
At this moment, Huai Ji was already beaten black and blue by Bai Qi and was barely hanging on to his last breath.
Even so, he still hoped that Bai Qi would spare his life. He said in a pleading voice, "General Bai, spare my life. I won't dare to do it again."
Bai Qi was already completely disappointed in him.
"Huai Ji, our feud ends here."
Bai Qi waved his pistol and was about to take Huai Ji's life with one shot.
However, the wrist that was holding the pistol high was pulled by a white silk ribbon, and he was directly dragged out.
The white silk ribbon spun and wrapped around Bai Qi. It was like a giant python catching its prey, trying to strangle him to death and then slowly swallow him into its belly.
Huai Ji raised his head from the deep pit. There was a smile on his face as he called for Bai Ling'er to give him a hand.
Bai Ling'er obediently walked over and pulled Huai Ji out.
After Huai Ji got out, he walked around to Bai Qi's side and kicked him hard.
"Lord Bai Xiang, you're finally here. This traitor just refuses to hand over the snake scale. I'm just teaching him a lesson for you."
Although Lord Bai Xiang was wearing a mask, when he looked at Huai Ji, the gloomy aura on him scared Huai Ji into silence immediately.
"Bai Qi, you should know better than anyone else what the consequence of betraying me is." Lord Bai Xiang said in a cold voice.
"I've never been your servant. Where does the so - called betrayal come from? I've already repaid your kindness." Bai Qi desperately tore at the white silk ribbon, but it was like it had grown on him and couldn't be torn off at all.
"Hand over the snake scale, and our debt will be cleared." Lord Bai Xiang said with his hands behind his back.
"I've never seen the snake scale."
"You're lying. I've already investigated. You've met the Witchcraft God and got the snake scale from that ancient painting. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude."
At this moment, Huai Ji, relying on Lord Bai Xiang's power, stepped in front of him. His sinister gaze gradually turned to me, and it felt like he wanted to devour me alive.
I told Li Xue to hide behind me and took a step back, looking for something sharp to stop him from approaching.
"Bai Ling'er, tie her to the operating table. I'm going to give her a good physical examination today..."
