The Labyrinth of the Monsters-Chapter 61 – Delusional Beast

"Bang!"

Gao Yang didn't even see what happened. He only felt his throat tighten, and his back hit the wall heavily. His sister's small and white arms were already holding his neck, pressing him against the wall.

Gao Yang struggled to pry his sister's fingers open, but they didn't budge. Although they were the soft little hands he had held countless times, they were now stronger than any metal.

Those small hands could easily break Gao Yang's neck, but they didn't exert any more force. They were absolutely confident and unstoppable.

"Sis...ter..." Gao Yang could no longer speak, and tears uncontrollably streamed down his face.

His sister paused for a moment and smirked. "Oh, don't show such a sad expression. Be a little scared, or how can I enjoy the pleasure of killing you?"

"Why..." Gao Yang's voice carried a hint of pleading. "Why do we have to kill each other? We can still be a family..."

"Brother, you've got it wrong." His sister pouted. "First of all, we Awakened Beings don't kill each other. It's just a one-sided hunting game for us."

"Besides, you are my brother," his sister's tone softened. "I have always been your sister, even if you Awakened, even if I have to kill you, that won't change. Tomorrow when I wake up, I will probably forget all this. I will cry for your death, and I will always miss you, really... even at this moment, I can hear the sound of my own crying in my heart. I like you the most, brother."

"I don't understand..." Gao Yang was completely confused.

"No need to understand. You Awakened Beings, you will die if you try to understand everything," his sister's eyes gradually turned cold. "Goodbye, brother."

"Wait!"

"Hmm?"

"Before I die... one last question," Gao Yang gasped for breath. "What kind of Beast are you?"

His sister didn't speak but looked at Gao Yang with an indescribable gaze. Under the moonlight, her lovely face remained unblemished, and her body showed no signs of Beast Transformation.

"Do you want to see my true form, brother?" His sister smiled somewhat shyly. "But I think, since you're going to die, it's better to remember me as I am now."

The pressure on his neck began to increase.

"Foolish Beast?" Gao Yang continued, "Angry Beast... Greed Beast... Delusional Beast..."

When he mentioned "Delusional Beast," the fingers on Gao Yang's neck paused for a moment.

It seemed to be the Delusional Beast.

Gao Yang was completely ignorant of this type of Beast.

But he couldn't die like this.

"Sister..." Hot tears streamed down Gao Yang's flushed face. "I'm sorry..."

In the midst of speaking, Gao Yang suddenly grabbed Gao Xinxin's head. "Flame!"

Whoosh! Bursting flames shot out from Gao Yang's palms, instantly enveloping Gao Xinxin's head. The pressure on his neck finally loosened.

"Ah!" Gao Yang shouted, pouring all his energy into his hands. The scorching flames crossed at close range, burning Gao Xinxin's head fiercely. The entire room was illuminated, and the air quickly heated up. The intense heat flowed through the room, almost burning Gao Yang's eyes. Finally, he had to close his eyes.

"Ah ah ah!" Gao Yang continued to shout. It was a desperate struggle and excruciating pain. The high-intensity burning of the flames lasted for nearly a minute, leaving Gao Yang exhausted.

He let his hands drop and opened his tear-filled eyes.

He was suddenly shocked!

The upper half of Gao Xinxin's clothes were almost burned and melted, revealing her clean and white collarbone, as well as her undeveloped body. Her hair was messy but not burnt, as if it had just been tousled by Gao Yang's hands.

Her face remained intact, without a trace of burns. The girl looked at Gao Yang with an almost playful expression. "Brother, I am your sister. How could you do this?"

"What... what kind of monster are you?" Gao Yang felt a deep abyss of fear.

"Ah!" The power in his hand gathered again, and Gao Yang felt intense pain and suffocation. His body was once again lifted by his sister and pressed against the wall.

"Monster? Is that how you refer to us?" Gao Xinxin stared at Gao Yang. "Clearly, you humans are the monsters. You were once such cute little kittens, but one day, you suddenly changed. You became a cunning, disgusting, venomous snake that always wanted to bite its owner. If you were in my position, what would you do? Could you still tell yourself that it's still your little kitten? No, you can only kill that snake and mourn for the little kitten that will never come back."

"You... are not my sister!" Gao Yang stared at her fiercely. "You are not the Gao Xinxin I know! Give her back to me!"

"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Gao Xinxin laughed as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world. She laughed heartily, tears streaming down her face.

Finally, she laughed herself tired. She extended her left hand and easily pierced Gao Yang's chest.

This time, there was no miracle.

"Wow!" Gao Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if a thousand arrows had pierced his heart, tearing him apart.

"Ah ah ah!" Gao Yang began to scream in agony. His consciousness blurred in the face of immense pain. He felt himself melting, disintegrating. He was no longer himself but a small and objective existence in this world.He was the energy-saving light on the ceiling, the pool of blood on the floor beneath his feet, the 4A paper on the computer desk beside him that had been scorched yellow by high heat, the messy bed sheets and quilts, the eyelashes on his sister's eyes, the air filled with the smell of blood and burnt odor. He was everything, everything but himself.

In an instant, his soul returned to his body.

Through his blurred vision, he saw a bloody, beating human heart held in Gao Xinxin's hand. It was his own heart.

Gao Xinxin stared at the heart with her innocent yet eerie eyes, her face full of devotion.

A few seconds later, she lifted her head, revealing a slightly shy smile, like a little sister acting coy with her brother.

"Brother, can I eat it now?"
