Li Zhen didn't sleep all night. But Kitagawa Qingming fell asleep at some point. Li Zhen sat at her door, and when the heavy rain stopped, and when the sky was bright, he suddenly stood up and walked into the kitchen.

He took a bowl, picked up the kitchen knife and placed it on his wrist.

He wanted Beichuan to drink blood. Drink more blood - maybe it would work?

Then hesitated for a few seconds and then he put it down again.

Because they are just guesses - everything is just guesses. If it is really like Teacher Zhou said, it is because of some binding force in one's body that makes those "cancer cells" form a healthy organism...

The more Kitagawa Harumaki drinks, the faster he dies, right?!

But what if it works?

What if it's just because you drink too little?

What if she drinks too much, she can save her life like herself?

He suddenly discovered that in front of life—

All possibilities are so pale.

Because life is only once... no assumption is allowed.

Finally, he threw down the kitchen knife with a clang and leaned against the wall. He had no choice but to wait for death or rebirth... However, he was not sure about it.

But he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening-Kaki Kitagawa's bedroom.

Then there was the sound of footsteps. He glanced at the door and sighed softly.

The sound was very small, but the other party seemed to hear it. So the footsteps stopped slightly and continued to ring.

Kitagawa Haraki appeared in front of him.

Li Zhen was silent for a while before he dared to turn to look at her—the pale lips and bloodless face were in his eyes. He forced himself to bear the guilt that was about to explode in his heart and grinned barely: "How do you... feel?"

But the other party didn't say a word either.

Li Zhen couldn't help but look up and suddenly realized that she was a little different - although she looked quite weak, the spirit on her face and that complicated look...

"Are you awake?!" Li Zhen immediately straightened his waist and grabbed her shoulder with both hands.

But the other party broke free without a trace and took a light step back: "I'm awake."

Then he bit his lip and whispered: "Can you explain... what happened last night?"

Only then did Li Zhen notice that there were blood scabs on her nose. Is it so fast? She was bleeding from her nose?

So he subconsciously said, "You... are bleeding."

But the other party's reaction was beyond his expectations. Kitagawa Haruki - or the King of Ice and Snow and Wind, his lips trembled. He seemed to have no idea what to say, but suddenly he felt angry and could not vent. After holding it in for a long time, he shouted softly: "You...you... are you... bleeding! What's wrong with bleeding? Are you not satisfied?! Don't forget, this is not only her body, but also my body!"

Li Zhen was stunned by her sudden surge in momentum. She thought for a long time before muttering: "What are you talking about?"

"There is blood on the bed." The other party stared at Li Zhen's eyes and said word by word, "I saw it!"

Li Zhen stared at her blankly and looked for a long time. Then her numb mind became a little clearer and realized...

The other party seemed to have misunderstood something.

However, at the moment he had no thoughts, no no desire to laugh—even the shame and annoyance disappeared.

He smiled weakly: "You're bleeding from your nose."

The Ice King subconsciously touched his nose, and then felt the remaining blood scabs on it. Her expression became more complicated in an instant, and even her pale face showed blood, and the whites of her eyes were coated with a layer of light blue.

She was very excited - she was so excited that she almost lost control.

So she said guiltily: "Then why is my body sore..."

The voice became smaller and smaller in the end because she began to notice Li Zhen's expression.

After being together for a while, she saw her so... guilt, helplessness, sadness, and despair for the first time.

"What the hell is wrong? What's wrong? Are you quarreling?" She frowned slightly. However, her chest was stuffy, she opened her mouth and coughed, and a little blood splattered on Li Zhen's chest.

A look of surprise appeared in the Ice King's eyes. Li Zhen stared at her in a daze and whispered: "You drank my blood. Now... I'm upset."

Five minutes later, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Facing the King of Ice and Snow and Wind, Li Zhen felt a little relieved. But his heart still hurt.

She pursed her lips tightly and felt the pain in her body - the pain was tingling and itchy, just as Li Zhen said, countless cancer cells were growing rapidly, taking away nutrients from her body, destroying normal organs, and exhausting her vitality.

After a long time, Kitano Seimei suddenly gritted her teeth: "I drink. I want to bet."

Li Zhen stared at her without saying a word.

So she repeated: "I'll drink."

But the other party suddenly closed his eyes. Then he opened it open and shouted loudly: "Just you said - this is not just your body! Why do you make decisions for her?!"

Kitagawa was stunned by his roar and pursed it. But she still stubbornly raised her head: "She is the second personality. I am me."

Li Zhen clenched his fists: "The first personality, the second personality... Haha. She also has her own emotions, her own memories, her own life - when you are not here, she is also a living person! She is not a computer backup or a plaything, she is a human, a human!"

Beichuan weakly held the door frame, looked straight at Li Zhen for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You like her, don't you?"

Li Zhen groaned and strode out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa in the living room.

There was a pack of cigarettes in the drawer on the lower floor of the coffee table before the sofa. Li Zhen smoked one and popped up a flame to light it. However, his hands were shaking violently and he lit it twice before lit it.

Kitagawa Seimei stood alone with the door frame for a while, turned around and walked slowly to the sofa, and sat down opposite Li Zhen.

Li Zhen spit out a mouthful of mist and whispered: "I'm sorry."

"I understand."

"I... have a girlfriend. I love her very much." Li Zhen licked her dry lips and lowered her head and said, "I just think that one is innocent."

“It’s very pitiful.”

"You are all my friends. You and I have been through life and death, and I have known her earlier. If you want to say you like it... I like her. But if you don't like it, can you understand?"

"I understand. But I am also a victim - although I am taking it upon myself. You asked me if I want to drink it."

"I know...so I'm sorry." Li Zhen held his forehead.

The cigarette butts burned slowly, and the mist was shrouded in light mist. The two of them were silent for a while, and Li Zhen raised his head: "It was you who wanted to drink blood. I respected your decision at that time. But she... she didn't agree with the suggestion yesterday. So, I hope I can respect her again this time. It's indeed your body... I was not qualified to say that. However, drinking and not drinking are not even the difference between death or not - maybe in my opinion, it's just the difference between dying slower and dying faster."

Kitagawa Harumaki smiled bitterly: "You also know that it is the difference between faster and slower. Maybe there is a glimmer of chance after drinking?"

Li Zhen slowly pressed the cigarette butt to his palm and pressed it out - a burning smell of flesh spread. But he didn't blink and whispered: "Or I have a bolder suggestion. And before... there was a successful precedent."

He looked at Kitagawa Kyuki: "It depends on whether you dare to bet. But you can't just decide. I still need her decision."

Kitagawa thought for a moment and opened his eyes wide: "Die first?"

"Die first." Li Zhen nodded and gritted his teeth, "I will kill you while your body has not completely collapsed. Then I will use my blood to resurrect you. I have saved Ying Jueran like this, and I think I can save you like this."

"But you were resonating with the species at that time to save people."

"Now I have a part of Chiyou in my body. I can inspire it. Just like last time."

"You..." Kitagawa Haruaki hesitated for a moment, "Aren't you afraid of losing control like last time?"

Li Zhen looked at her: "Compared with you, at least I can still live."

Kitagawa's eyelashes drooped slightly. She thought for a while and stood up: "Okay. I agree. Then wait for her to wake up - ask her."

Li Zhen focused on the key points.

The rest of the time was waiting. Li Zhen almost didn't care about other things. There were a lot of things arranged near another house, but he felt that those people wouldn't come so quickly. If his guess was right, they would have to wait at least four days before they emerged.

And he arranged sensors around the house - as long as someone enters the sensing range, something small in his arms will react.

Yu Ziqing didn't call him, and nothing happened on the other side of Lizar Road.

All you can do is wait. Wait with great anxiety.

The Ice King woke up at 6:30 in the morning. Last night, Beichuan fell asleep at about four o'clock. After just two hours of sleep and gradually weakening his body, Beichuan fell asleep again after sitting on the sofa for more than an hour.

Li Zhen gently picked her up and sent her back to the bedroom upstairs.

Then he brought in a chair and sat by the bed, watching her eyelashes tremble slightly.

It seems like experiencing a long and endless nightmare.

Today is sunny. The sky seemed to be more refreshing after the sharp rain last night. Li Zhen looked at the white clouds and sun outside through the window, but his heart was filled with a heavy mist. The sunlight shone in from the window and slowly walked from the windowsill to the middle of the house... Five hours passed.

Kitagawa's breathing became heavier and abnormal flush appeared on his face. His lips seemed to be a little swollen, as if he had a needle and blood would gush out. Li Zhen knew that this was what he used to be... However, at that time, he had been going through two or three days.

But now it's only a few hours.

He was anxious. It was as if he was being roasted on the stove, hoping that she would wake up soon. Because every minute and every second her vitality was passing by quickly, and cancer cells were raging in his body. However, Li Zhen did not dare to wake her up - he was afraid that the king of ice, snow and wind would still be called.

Under the current circumstances, he dare not waste a minute and a second of his time. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
