Dating the Strongest Boss

Chapter 73 - The Murder Game

Translator: Yuzu

“Did you have a nightmare?” Yu Mo’s hand gently stroked the bangs that blocked Xiao Chen’s eyes. The surrounding lights were not yet switched on. This posture had an indescribable ambiguity in the dim environment, making it look very intimate.

The man has a quirk that was probably influenced by the memory of this world. He likes to stare into the eyes of Xiao Chen, and when the young man’s eyes reflect only his figure, it gives him a sense of satisfaction.

It felt as if the two were each other’s world.

Xiao Chen blinked and stared into Yu Mo’s eyes. The two were so close that it was as if they would kiss each other in the next second.

Xiao Chen’s feelings are very complicated at this moment.

The two people stood still for a long time before Xiao Chen stiffly spoke, “Are you a human or not?”

If so, then why is he still alive after having his heart ripped out and even able to do things he’s only seen in TV shows. There is even another man who looks exactly like him.

If not, then what kind of identity is he living in now? Is it a ghost?

Xiao Chen felt his hands and feet became a bit frozen with this thought, and he shivered instinctively. The man’s eyes looked sunken, and the initially smiling corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line.

With a tug of his hand, Yu Mo put the quilt back over Xiao Chen’s body.

Xiao Chen blinked again with a dazed expression.

The man’s face was blank as he asked, “Is it important whether I’m human or not?”

Xiao Chen was suddenly silent and a little embarrassed. He subconsciously pouted, lowered his head, and glanced slightly upward to peek at the man’s expression.

It seems that it is not that important.

He did not know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the feeling that Yu Mo had given him had changed, but this feeling was familiar to him.

It was like...

Xiao Chen searched for words in the bottom of his heart for quite a while.

It was like a combination of the man he saw last time and Yu Mo.

Xiao Chen was also startled by his own thoughts.

The man looked at this expression and suddenly laughed out loud.

His memory had just recently recovered. He realized that Xiao Chen had been affected by the world more than him and that in comparison, his memory would only slowly awaken due to the passage of time.

He found that Xiao Chen’s memories of each world would be completely cleared when he re-entered reincarnation, so much so that Xiao Chen had a significantly different personality in each world.

The rules of the world discovered their two sets of somewhat strange data early on, causing them to be rejected by the world consciousness in every world, which would try everything to create different problems for them and try to erase their existence.

But.

The man hooked his lips.

He is a virus, and a virus is an existence outside the rules of the world, and his appearance is itself an exception.

He could easily break through the influence of the world’s consciousness on him. He was not bound by the original order, so he could destroy it if he wanted to and leave entirely if he wanted to detach himself from it. He could even plunder the world’s energy and store it in a medium not restricted by the world.

The man’s gaze moved to the pendant Xiao Chen was wearing, slightly narrowed his eyes, the pendant still looks as plain as ever. Still, only he knows how useful this necklace really is.

He himself can indeed just leave as he pleases.

The look in the man’s eyes changed.

But Xiao Chen cannot!

Xiao Chen was created by these worlds. Xiao Chen will repeatedly surface in these worlds and suffer from various restrictions.

If not for his own initial mistake that resulted in not only failing to bring Xiao Chen out, but even caused him to nearly become part of these data, and making him lose his memory, the two of them would have been out of these worlds long ago.

But fortunately.

He had marked Xiao Chen from the beginning.

The man thought of the tattoo on Xiao Chen’s back, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

They will definitely meet and love each other no matter what.

As long as they experience more worlds, he can pillage more energy. When there is enough energy, he can take Xiao Chen completely out of these worlds and does not need to follow the plot of the world, nor does he have to let others control his fate.

Yu Mo touched Xiao Chen’s hair with his hand and smiled again as he looked at the aggrieved little face.

He reached out with both hands and grabbed the back of Xiao Chen’s head, placing his forehead closer to the child’s, allowing their eyes to stare at each other at a close distance.

Xiao Chen felt the temperature of the palm on his neck, and his brain all of a sudden short-circuited. When he realized the posture of the two people, his face instantly burst red.

This posture is too ambiguous.

But the man was obviously not satisfied with this. He tilted his head and brought his face closer in a position where he could see the emotion on Xiao Chen’s eyes more clearly.

With the implication of coaxing, his gray eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was soft and gentle, saying, “Can I hold you now?”

“.........” Xiao Chen opened his mouth and closed it again. The redness on his face has not yet dissipated.

Wait, does this hug mean what he thinks it means?

Everything that followed happened as if it was so natural. All Xiao Chen remembered was that he had been crying, and his voice had become hoarse and eventually turned into a small whimper.

The man seemed to have been unfulfilled and had a lot of energy.

Xiao Chen felt like a small boat floating in the sea, being pushed over by the waves, and like a rose entangled by a poisonous snake, whose limbs were deadly wrapped around its branches, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

He couldn’t even see the scene around him because there were no lights. He only saw a pair of wolf-like gray eyes staring at him without blinking.

“Baby, call me.”

“Call, call what?”

“Hmm.”

“Yu, Yu Mo.”

“Call me husband.”

However, as if to guard his last shame, Xiao Chen did not make a sound and buried his head in the pillow. His face became even redder, and he was like a cooked lobster.

“Heh.” The man laughed out loud, his gray eyes flashed, and he hooked his lips in mischief, “Baby, you’re misbehaving again.”

So, there should be a punishment, no?

–

Yang Ru’s hands were trembling like crazy. Even if her hands were clenched into a fist, they could not stop shaking.

Yang Ru found herself seemingly walking into a dead-end, spinning in circles in place for half a day. No matter which way she went, she would end up back where she was.

When she realized this, she immediately tore off a piece of fabric from her clothes without hesitation. She put it on the ground to make a mark.

But when she saw the fabric lying on the ground for the third time, although she had prepared her heart, she still completely broke down.

Her fingers were sticking stiffly to the wall as she struggled to control her emotions and tried to comfort herself, but it was all in vain.

She felt as if these corridors had a consciousness of their own.

From the beginning, where one goes and which path they choose is not up to them. These living corridors will take them where they want them to go.

She can’t get out at all!!!

No matter how strong Yang Ru’s psychological quality is, in the end, she is only a woman who has experienced too much in this short time. She doesn’t even know how long she has been in this space or how long it has been since she has eaten.

She could not see the sunrise, nor could she see the moon hanging in the sky. She was in a completely confined environment, surrounded by endless darkness, uncertainty, and fear, and she could not feel the passage of time.

Yang Ru’s breathing was a little difficult, and she grabbed her collar with her trembling hands in a tight grip.

“Heh, finally found you.” A voice came out from the end of the long corridor.

When Yang Ru heard this voice, her body trembled even more. Her chest became more stuffy, and her breathing was even more uncomfortable.

This voice was like an evil creature from Hell, tormenting her nerves little by little.

Su Jingxia was in no hurry to finish her off. It was like a cat teasing a mouse, tormenting her spirit and slowly exhausting her strength, then killing her in one go.

This kind of pain, to some extent, for Yang Ru, even far overshadowed her fear of death.

Yang Ru’s face was ashen as she sat on the ground, trembling, but she did not have any urge to continue to escape.

She was simply too tired.

She was exhausted and had long since run out of energy.

[ Passerby876544: There seems to be no doubt about the result, Su Jingxia won.

Passerby876568:This time the live broadcast is more exciting than ever before, ah.

Passerby967563: Is the future sanctioner going to be changed into Su Jingxia leading the team?

Passerby896756: Didn’t Xu Caitong also kill the last sanctioner, becoming the last one to live and win, and finally became the sanctioner?

Passerby667564: I have a question that I have wanted to know for a long time. Who is behind this live game of punishing criminals, and what is the purpose of it? Why do I feel that some of the camera angles are very strange, just like a face shot? Even variety shows do not shoot such effects, right?

Passerby643255: Haha, who knows? Isn’t watching this kind of live broadcast just for satisfying your own pleasure?

Passerby642247: Hey, I have a bold guess. Do you believe that there are gods in this world? Because the life of the gods is too boring, they like to watch people torment each other, so they made such a murderous live broadcast game, taking the bloodshed as their entertainment. ]

Yang Ru’s body on the ground slowly grew cold and stiffened up a bit.

And Su Jingxia’s expression remained undisturbed.

The result was already obvious.

He won.

He survived.

Su Jingxia dropped the dagger on the ground. His hand was full of blood, which flowed down the lines of his palm and fell on the floor.

Time passed in silence. Su Jingxia stood still and did not move.

He tilted his head slightly and looked up. The top was still an endless darkness, and he could not see the end at all. There was no way to know what sort of birds or beasts were hidden up there.

He withdrew his gaze, bypassed Yang Ru’s corpse, and continued to walk forward.

As long as he keeps walking, he will be able to leave this damn place, right?

Heh.

Su Jingxia’s figure was completely submerged in the darkness. He slowly moved forward in the quiet and frightening environment, and his footsteps could even be heard echoing, along with his own thumping heartbeat.

The only sound left in the world comes from him alone.

What lies ahead...

Is it an exit?

Not necessarily.

Perhaps it’s an endless cycle.
