The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise-Chapter 299 The Only Aim

"If I can’t walk out of here, I won’t let anyone of you out as well," Qin Qu’s voice was viciously biting and sharp making Ru want to cut his tongue for howling like this.

He didn’t even take a moment before he took out a small device from his pocket and pressed the button with a mocking smile as he snarled, "Let’s all bury here together."

As soon as his words finished, several passages opened up in the white walls around them. And from those passages, throngs of bloodthirsty people rushed up. At first glance, Ru couldn’t tell but when she noticed their eyes, she didn’t even blink before rushing up to Qin Qu and drove the tip of the sword in her hand straight into his heart as she said, "Consider it your luck that this Young Master isn’t in the mood to play with your pathetic life."

With that being said, she turned to her brother saying, "Big Brother, help those two youngsters out." Looking at the throng of angry, bloodthirsty, and more importantly, ’out of their mind’ people rushing up to her, she added, "I’ll see who buries who in this godforsaken place!"

Rong came to her side saying, "Let me help out."

Ru shook her head and pushed him towards the place Zhang Han and Xiao Zhiyuan were trapped. "Help them out first. Have faith in your little brother. I can deal with this alone."

Of course, Rong had no doubt that she could deal with these hundred or so people. But he was still reluctant. Weapons have no eyes, he knew the battle always brings wounds as well. However, he didn’t want her to get hurt.

Soon, the sound of slashing, metal clanking, screams, whines, and painful cries filled the air. The scene was so horrifying that not only Yuan who was pampered from a young age but also Zhang Han was frozen at his place. He had never seen this kind of bloodbath before in his entire life.

It looked really painful.

All this while, Ru didn’t pay attention to anything apart from killing. That wicked side of her had finally torn apart the facade she so tried to stick with. This was the real her. With no remorse and no sympathy. The more blood dyed her hands, the more she felt liberated. She indeed was a psychopath herself. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

It was just hard to see her psycho persona on normal days when she wore the mask of a scholar so well.

Nevertheless, her eyes still caught on to Xiao Zhiren who had struggled to stand up and was now staring unblinkingly at the scene before his eyes. The girl drenched in blood was completely unlike the one in his memory. That beautiful girl in his memory was suddenly unrecognizable to him. He had heard Ru saying plenty of times, ’You won’t like to meet the real me.’

But he always laughed it off. He always believed, she’d never been able to scare him away. Because he believed he loved every part of hers. Every single mask she wore before the world, he loved it all wholeheartedly.

Then why was he unable to move? Why did his heart suddenly had a strange trepidation? Why was there a slight itch in his mind that urged him to run? It didn’t make any sense to him. Nothing of this made any sense to him. He was already struggling to wrap his mind around the fact that the reality he knew had been distorted. He lived in the world of vengeance that someone else created for him. His own will and thinking were all snatched from him.

And now looking at the person he loved the most, he was hardly able to think or make sense of anything. Yet, he couldn’t help the way his eyes were widened when he stared at Ru. And the girl who could read people like the back of her hand, how could she not see the apprehension in his eyes? Unless she was blind, it was way too obvious to her.

She didn’t know why she paused slightly when she noticed that dread in his ever so familiar and yet so unfamiliar eyes. No, the eyes were familiar. Very familiar. It was the emotion in those eyes that seemed unfamiliar.

The corner of her lip lifted up slightly. It seemed like she was smiling but it was a sad smile. However, with all the blood on her face, it looked more like a maniac smile.

Honestly speaking, Ru wasn’t surprised at all to see his reaction. She knew herself. She knew him as well. She knew what she looked like right now. It’d be crazy if he actually wasn’t scared. The smile was her way of reminding herself. The bet that her heart made with her rationality came to an end. The heart that was blind with love actually lost the bet.

In the end, it was still her rationality that won. After all, the only person who would stand by her side was herself. Love truly was a luxury to someone like her. She had delusions about her love and about herself for long enough. It was time to face reality all over again.

When that fleeting moment, their eyes met, Ru smiled even brightly and shook her head before turning back to get back to something she was most familiar with; killing. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

While she was distracted, that psychotic woman who was struggling beside her had actually managed to crawl up to Xiao Zhiren’s side. The gun that Qin Qu had dropped was still lying in Xiao Zhiren’s feet. Ling Qiaolian knew she couldn’t get out of here but she didn’t wish to go down alone. She wanted to kill Ru if it was the last thing she did.

Just when she picked up the gun, Xiao Zhiren’s eyes shifted to her. Seeing where she was aiming the gun, his heart shook violently. This fear of losing his little chili was worse than seeing her bloodshedding. There was no way he was willing to lose her.

Without thinking, he jumped over and tried to snatch the gun.

"Zhiren! Let it go! I have to kill her today!" Ling Qiaolian was glaring with her bloodshot eyes at Xiao Zhiren hatefully.

"No, I’ll never let that happen!" Xiao Zhiren also struggled with all his might but somehow, the woman was able to get the upper hand, only because he was more severely injured than her, and due to everything that conspired, he was still feeling dizzy. His mind was still in disarray with only one vivid goal; to save Ru.

"Zhiren!" Shouted Ling Qiaolian as the trigger was pulled and the aim was only one person; Ru.
