The outcome of the incident was beyond everyone's expectations.

The chain of life was broken, but Chu Yu did not die.

Chu Yu stared blankly at the man lying at her feet. He had been holding her hand and saying strange things just a moment ago.

Now, he lay on the ground, motionless, as if he had been asleep forever.

"Mr. Dean..." Chu Yu squatted down and carefully touched Ran Yin's shoulder.

He still has body temperature, but...

The escape of magic power stopped.

The shadow's restlessness stopped.

The assimilation of the illusion stopped.

His heartbeat also stopped.

"…What's going on?" Shi Zhimeng didn't expect this result. "This is not Chu Yu's life lock, but Ran Yin's?"

Her investigation into the Lock of Life couldn't have been wrong, so there was only one answer.

This has always been Ran Yin’s life lock.

Ran Yin gave his life lock to Chu Yu.

"How, how is it possible." Chu Yu shook her head, constantly denying herself, "Mr. Dean would not do this. Isn't he using me? How could he do this? How could he give me his lock?"

But this is the fact.

Ran Yin couldn't have given it wrong, that was his own life lock, an important thing equivalent to his life, he wouldn't be so stupid as to not be able to tell his own life lock apart.

Just like he once said...as long as this lock is lit, it means he is alive.

Ran Yin did not lie.

He gave his life to Chu Yu and never asked for it back once.

why?

why?

why?

"Why give it to me? Why me? Mr. Dean... I don't understand." Chu Yu could only stare blankly at Ran Yin's gradually cooling body, "Why..."

How she hoped at this moment that Ran Yin could wake up and answer her questions.

But she could never wait.

She would never know the answer.

Because the person who can answer this question is no longer here.

"Because... he loves you." Shi Zhimeng said.

As a child who grew up surrounded by love, she seemed to be the only one who could figure out the answer to the question at this moment.

"He loves you... just like he loves his own child."

Every word of Tokieda Yume was harsh.

Chu Yu stared at Ran Yin blankly. She trembled as she held Ran Yin's cold hand, then shook her head in self-denial: "Impossible, impossible..."

"not like this……"

"Definitely Not……"

Wan Ye Xi looked at Chu Yu's back quietly, unable to say anything.

She no longer had any will to fight.

Tonight is a terrible night.

"Did you bring the bell?" Ivy asked suddenly.

In this sad and heavy atmosphere, Ivy's voice sounded so calm.

Shi Zhimeng realized that he was talking to her, and ran over in two or three steps: "Bring it! You..."

When she saw Ivy's appearance, she was stunned.

"Xiao Wei, why are you crying?"

Evie blinked.

Every time she blinked, tears would fall. She wiped away her tears casually, expressionless: "Nothing, just forced empathy."

Every black bubble attached to the wound was telling of their sadness. They were Chuyu's emotions, and Chuyu couldn't handle them, so they turned into a curse and took root in Ivy's emotions.

Ivy glanced at Ran Yin casually, her vision constantly blurring and clearing due to the effect of tears, and she wiped away her tears again.

"Now that my goal has been achieved, I'm going back."

Although the development of the process was somewhat unexpected, in the end, Ran Yin did die as she wished.

Shi Zhimeng supported Ivy and nodded: "I'll take you to heal your wounds..."

As she spoke, she remembered that there was another person present who also needed treatment.

Although Chu Yu did not die, Ivy really made an effort to kill her.

Shi Zhimeng glanced at Ivy carefully. It was hard for her to confirm what Ivy's attitude towards Chu Yu was.

Sensing Shi Zhimeng's hesitation, Ivy said tiredly, "Do whatever you want with me. I won't care."

"Okay." Shi Zhimeng nodded, "Then Wanye, you stay here first..."

"and many more!"

Chu Yu, who was originally depressed, suddenly raised her head and spoke out to stop them.

Chu Yu stared at Ivy closely, as if she had some important clues.

"Just now...what did the dean's last words mean?"

"Even if she wanted to kill you, she didn't think you betrayed her."

After Jing Chuyu asked this question, the others also fell into thought.

This sentence sounded groundless, but Ran Yin said it so confidently.

Also, it sounds contradictory.

If Xiao Wei really still regarded Chu Yu as a friend rather than an enemy, how could he have made up his mind to... kill her?

Ivy had no expression on her face, she just kept crying.

"Why should I tell you."

“I must know…!” Chu Yu dragged her injured body and stood up anxiously. She was afraid that Ivy would reject her.

If rejected, Chu Yu didn't know what position or means to use to get the answer to the question.

Unexpectedly, Ivy agreed to her easily.

"…I can tell you, but can you please stop crying first?"

Ivy hugged Tokizhi Meng's arm and wiped all her tears on her sleeves.

"It was like I was crying. It made me feel embarrassed."

Black foam continued to rise from all the wounds. Ivy was crying and had a painful expression on her face. It really looked like she was crying.

Chu Yu was stunned and couldn't help but let out a somewhat bitter smile: "My emotions are completely exposed, and I am also very embarrassed..."

……

As her tears stopped, Ivy took out the dagger again and simply confessed, "It's not an ordinary knife..."

The exclusive weapons customized by the dean for each person are not ordinary. They either perfectly fit the user or make up for the user's shortcomings, but the ultimate goal is to become stronger.

So most of them treat this as a secret weapon and never use it easily.

Only Ivy had always used her exclusive weapon as an ordinary knife. Not only did she carry it with her at all times, but she even used it to shovel dirt sometimes.

From the perspective of weapons alone, Ivy was not suitable for using a dagger. Her usual fighting method was to summon many illusion creatures to fight for her, while she stood in a safe place and looked over the whole situation.

But the short sword required her to fight in close combat.

"It is connected to my thoughts and is a witness." Under the moonlight, the blade of the dagger vaguely revealed shallow carved patterns.

That was magic that could weaken defense, allowing her to kill with one strike.

But Evie opened her hand, letting the knife lie flat in her hand.

In addition to the blade, there are also magical patterns engraved on the handle.

That is space magic that allows instant movement and requires activation of the mind.

"It can take me to teleport behind a person and kill him." Ivy stated the conclusion directly.

She never took advantage of this trait.

So, other people also heard about the characteristics of this knife for the first time.

"But there is a prerequisite..." Ivy was silent for a moment. She recalled the dean's annoying tone.

"It can protect you from emotional hurt"

"It will help you kill everyone who betrays you"

"In this way, everyone left will be your most sincere friend."

"Only use it if I think... you've really betrayed me."

The dean said that this was the most suitable weapon for her.

Her answer was...never.

"I want to go back." Ivy felt bored again.

The curse of emotions had been attached to her for too long, and she could no longer distinguish which emotions were her own and which were Chu Yu's.

If this continued, she was afraid that she would make a wrong judgment.

The question has been answered, and Shi Zhimeng is also worried about Ivy's injury: "Let's go."

The illusion space opened an exit for them.

Just before they were about to take a step forward, Chu Yu's question came from behind.

"You really don't think... that I betrayed you?"

……

“Who knows.” Ivy didn’t look back. “Maybe I just didn’t want to use the knife on purpose.”

Evie stepped out of the illusion, tears rolling down her eyes again.

Chu Yu is crying again.
