Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it. Thank you.
Fang Daichuan stared at the sea, looking dazed.
What to do now? He should have jumped after Li Sinian. However, the truth is that at that moment, he was scared. His leg seems to be as heavy as a lead, and he missed the timing.
How far Li Sinian’s foresight was to see my cowardice and selfishness and how much despair he must feel to take his own life? Fang Daichuan stared blankly at the sea that swallowed Li Sinian’s body. In the end, he said, Fang Daichuan, you must live. Yet, when I had a chance to save him, I hesitated to do so.
“I’m really not a witch!” Niu Xinyan weakly defended, “Nan Nan, don’t you believe me?! I’m not a witch!”
The little boy stared at Niu Xinyan suspiciously, with malicious looks in his eyes.
Fang Daichuan’s vision was blurred. He recalled the god and devil statue carved on the second floor of the villa*, and at that moment he understood the true intention of the boss behind the scenes. The goddess of justice did not represent the boss, but the demon behind the goddess. When one idea is proven to be wrong, another one will replace it, this is human nature.
(T/N : Chapter 24)
“What do you want to see?” Fang Daichuan raised his face and looked at the moon in the sky, as if he had seen a pair of eyes in front of the monitor behind the moon. Those eyes were staring at them intently, like a scientist observing ants fighting for food. “Is this your goal? Watching humans kill each other and let everyone see their own filthiness?”
If you tear open the moon, will you discover the real world behind the curtain? Fang Daichuan closed his eyes and let the rain wash away his tears.
Li Sinian’s voice kept echoing in his ears: “Live, Fang Daichuan, you must live.”
At the same time, he saw another Li Sinian in front of his eyes, clutching his hand tightly, and said: “Save me, save me.”
Everyone was also taken aback by this incident. Yang Song pointed to Niu Xinyan and cursed: “Is that bottle of antidote so important?! You just let someone die in front of you!”
Every word stabs his heart.
Fang Daichuan closed his eyes.
Fang Daichuan stood up with his head down, the water drops rolling down his cheeks and hair tips, at that time he have also made his decision.
Fang Daichuan calmly drop the bomb. He raised his finger, the two potions in his hand shining brightly illuminated by the thunder, he said, “Stop fighting, I am the real witch.”
Yang Song quickly turned around to look at him, a pregnant pause following his words.
The little boy noticed there was something in his hand, he then made a move for it.
The other people at the scene are all female. Fang Daichuan might hesitate to fight with them. But to beat a crazy kid whom he doesn’t know his real age and identity? With no qualms, Fang Daichuan kicked the child away, making the syringe in the child’s hand fly into the air.
“Don’t fight!” Niu Xinyan screamed and knelt down to help the kid.
Fang Daichuan sneered, walked up and picked up the syringe on the ground. Standing on the beach with the background of lightning, his voice was sharp and clear: “Yang Song is right, is this bottle of antidote really that important? Li Sinian is dead, I would rather bury this bottle of antidote with him than leave it to you.”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and glanced at the several-meter-high rocky cliff, took a deep breath, mustered up the courage, closed his eyes and jumped down.
He no longer knows what else happened on the shore after he jumped. The moment his body made contact with the water, his brain went blank, the ice-cold water instantly embracing him. The sharp corner of the reef hurt his forehead, and the sea water stinging the wound brought a pain. He couldn’t see the direction in the dark, and he didn’t know where Li Sinian had fallen. Only the dim lighthouse in the distance showed him a fuzzy halo, letting him know which side was the sea surface.
Holding his breath, he dived deeper in the direction opposite to the light, tightly clutching the medicine bottle and needle in his hand.
Inside the sea is chaos, time and space seemed to freeze, sand and gravel were mixed in with the snake-like water plant, Fang Daichuan’s lungs were about to explode.
Humans’ fear of the ocean may be engraved in their genes. When Fang Daichuan jumped down he still had his courage but after he threw himself into the water, he felt endless fear. He didn’t plan to accompany Li Sinian to the underworld—he isn’t really stupid to such a degree. In order to leave him the hope of surviving, Li Sinian is ready to die. So he won’t throw away his life for nothing.
He came down to save Li Sinian because he couldn’t stand the fact that Li Sinian was throwing away his life in vain. His thoughts are very simple. Since he is 100% sure that Li Sinian is on the same side, since there is an antidote, why not use it? Even if there is only 1 bottle of antidote, eventually they will have to use it. However, Li Sinian didn’t give him any room to act, not even saying that he would jump into the sea before he did it.
You are so ruthless, Fang Daichuan squeezed his last breath while trying to open his eyes, internally cursing loudly at Li Sinian, completely forgetting that he had marked him as a wolf first.
He carefully looked for Li Sinian’s figure amongst the water plants.
He quickly felt that something was wrong, he was pulled by two strong forces, one moment, it will come in his direction, and then pulled him in the opposite direction. If one force is the rip tide, what is the others? Before Fang Daichuan could react, he was sucked into the sea floor by a strong force that felt like a strong pull of gravity. The water plant snake-like slapped him on the face, he hit the reef with a bang, spit out the last breath in his mouth.
Water plants and fishy water poured into his body assaulting his nose and throat. His limbs twitched, he looked up to the distant sea surface. Time seemed to have passed for a century, but at the same time he felt that everything seemed to have frozen. “I’m afraid I am going to die,” a bubble comes out from his mouth, blocking Fang Daichuan’s vision, he has a wild thought, “It is said that before death, people feel that time freezes, and the dying process is lengthened indefinitely. It is really too cruel.”
He moved his arms in vain, desperately grabbing a lock of slippery water plants, and then he thought, if time freezes, it would be fine. If he has to struggle for more than ten minutes, Li Sinian’s situation is probably dire.
Unexpectedly, I wanted to rescue and settle the score, but in the end I still threw my life for nothing. Fang Daichuan swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, smiled bitterly in despair, and asked himself whether he regretted it.
–Regret. If only he stays on the shore, how good it is to survive, he still has so many things he has not done, so many fun places he has not visited, and although there are not many real fans waiting for him to go back, he still wants to act and play kung fu. His parents have only one child, Deng-ge, and Xiao Zhou, the popular beautiful actress in the company, who will politely smile at him every time they meet him.
It’s good to be alive.
However, even if he regrets many things, he still can’t go against his heart.
Some things are destined to be more important than life.
Trapped between the water plants, the icy water, two opposite undercurrents, there is only a hopeless despair.
Fang Daichuan smiled bitterly, and finally exhausted his last breath. His limbs spasm, his body is getting heavier and heavier, two completely different forces are tearing at him, as if want to tear him apart.
However, at the moment when he was swept away by the undercurrent, Fang Daichuan’s wrist suddenly hurt.
In the darkness, something gripped his hand tightly.
The lips that were cold, become hot again, oxygen is gently passed over. He was holding the antidote in one hand, and holding the man’s hand tightly in the other. Two water drops that aren’t sea water poured out from the corner of his eyes.
