NFBE Chapter 338 Paranoia
Chapter 338 Paranoia
With a disfigured face, a rotting body, crippled limbs, and wounds all over her body that could not be concealed, Jiang Yue, this zombie, did not even have a complete memory. She was just instinctively kind to Lu Yize.
Sometimes even Lu Yize himself felt that she didn't need to go to such lengths for someone like him.
Because of Lu Yize's unusual attitude today, Jiang Yue was momentarily captivated by the look in his eyes, causing her to be a beat slow to realize that Lu Yize was staring at her.
Jiang Yue immediately lowered her head, avoiding Lu Yize's gaze, knowing how terrifying her appearance was.
"Jiang Yue."
Lu Yize called Jiang Yue's name again. Jiang Yue didn't understand why he was doing this. After thinking for a moment, she figured he probably needed the crystal core, so she immediately took the crystal core out of her pocket and presented it to Lu Yize.
Lu Yize looked at the crystal core in Jiang Yue's hand, and at her one hand that was now empty. He wondered why he hadn't dared to look Jiang Yue in the eye in his past life—because he couldn't admit his own feelings.
He couldn't accept that he had actually developed feelings for a crippled, ugly, and even incredibly stupid zombie while spending every day with it.
This was his illusion. He knew that the Jiang Yue in front of him was fake, and he also knew the reason why he was trapped in this predicament. However, when facing this Jiang Yue, Lu Yize felt his internal organs tremble with pain.
Lu Yize reached out and hugged the zombie. In his previous life, he had never made such a move. The only time they ever embraced was before their deaths.
He thought he could make up for those regrets after being reborn, but now he finds that he can't let go at all. He remembers every single thing from back then more clearly than anyone else, and he regrets it more than anyone else.
Because of his stubbornness, prejudice, hatred, and cowardice in not daring to face his own heart, they missed a whole decade, and a lifetime.
Jiang Yue's body stiffened, unable to understand why Lu Yize would do such a thing. She wanted to get out of Lu Yize's embrace. She knew that Lu Yize was clean, and she still smelled strongly of blood on her.
"Let me hold you for a while."
Lu Yize sensed Jiang Yue's trepidation, but he couldn't bear to let go of her hand; Jiang Yue shouldn't be like this.
Jiang Yue was drawn to Lu Yize's warmth; he was warm, unlike zombies like herself who were ice-cold and whose bodies didn't rot. Jiang Yue herself didn't know why she kept feeding a food source.
Because of fragmented memories? Or because she vaguely remembers being a person? Jiang Yue pondered these thoughts absentmindedly, unsure of which step had led her to become the way she is now.
As the crystal core gradually dissipated, Jiang Yue looked up at Lu Yize in surprise when she felt the empty crystal core in her palm.
Jiang Yue couldn't understand why Lu Yize would use all the superpowers within the crystal core to heal her injuries; it was such a waste. These should have been saved to heal Lu Yize's damaged superpower core.
Seeing that her injuries were gradually improving, Lu Yize finally let go of her. He knew that this was an illusion, and he also knew that as long as he killed Jiang Yue, which was the illusion of his obsession, he could get out.
As expected, he knew himself best, and only he knew how he could trap himself. Lu Yize knew that what was in front of him was an illusion created by the black crystal reading his memories.
However, he had observed Jiang Yue too closely, and Jiang Yue held too important a place in Lu Yize's heart. Even in the illusion, she was replicated so perfectly that there was no difference between her and the real Jiang Yue.
No, it should be said that Jiang Yue in front of him has no idea that he is an illusion. He is Lu Yize's obsession and also the epitome of the little zombie in his previous life.
Lu Yize didn't hesitate much; he just wanted to take a few more glances at Jiang Yue, whom he had never been able to look directly at under normal circumstances.
The two people who shared a bed in their past life never had any intimate contact or spoke a single word to each other. Oh, because Jiang Yue became mute. What a lame joke.
Countless times, while Jiang Yue was unconscious and recovering from her injuries, Lu Yize moved to her side, lifted her hair, and stared at her disfigured face with almost greedy intent.
Actually, she's not bad-looking. Jiang Yue has beautiful features, so she's good-looking no matter what, especially her eyes. Lu Yize especially loves those eyes. He only felt that they looked familiar at first, but now he knows that they have met before.
However, after Jiang Yue wakes up, Lu Yize will suppress all his emotions and put on a look of disgust, coldness and indifference.
Jiang Yue, a zombie, noticed that Lu Yize had been acting strangely these past few days. He used to be single-mindedly focused on revenge, with nothing but hatred in his eyes.
However, at this moment, he put down everything he was doing and kept his gaze following her. Jiang Yue thought about it and felt that she was nothing special.
It didn't seem so. She touched the mental crystal core in her mind, and it didn't seem like there was nothing there. However, she hoped that Lu Yize could change his mind, because if she took out the crystal core, all Lu Yize would get was another crystal core.
However, keeping her around would yield a bunch of crystal cores, and Jiang Yue thought that Lu Yize was so smart that he would definitely figure this out.
However... if Lu Yize really wants it, I hope he can say goodbye to her properly. As long as he says he wants it, then give it to him. She's just getting tired of this kind of world anyway.
Jiang Yue was just a zombie and didn't understand many things. She didn't know that living was important, nor did she know about her feelings for Lu Yize, but she knew that Lu Yize had many things more important than her.
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Yize understood many of her subtle actions.
Jiang Yue couldn't speak because her throat was damaged, but there were words in the memories she had regained, so she didn't have to communicate with Lu Yize using her mind.
Jiang Yue lowered her head and wrote a few words in the tattered notebook, then opened it to reveal the crooked and messy words, wanting to show them to Lu Yize.
Lu Yize had never taken the notebook that Jiang Yue held before, but this time, he grasped Jiang Yue's hand and took the notebook that Jiang Yue always kept close to her.
There was a familiar line of words written on it. Lu Yize had seen it before, when Jiang Yue died, when he realized that the only thing in this world that connected him to Jiang Yue was this notebook.
If you want the crystal core, just tell me, and I'll give it to you personally.
The exact same words were the same words that Lu Yize had seen repeated over and over again in this notebook after Jiang Yue's death.
Moreover, Jiang Yue used a total of eight notebooks over the past ten years, and the first few of them contained her conversations with Lu Yize.
But because Lu Yize neither replied nor looked at the book, the contents gradually became something Jiang Yue wrote for herself.
She didn't understand Lu Yize's hatred, but she sensed his determination to become stronger and take revenge. She didn't know what kind of mentality she was in as she wrote the same words countless times.
