MTL - Forced To Survive-Chapter 41 The boy raised his neck in cooperation, letting...
There is no one around the deserted little pier.
The night wind blows over the branches, making a rustling sound, and the waves rush up to the rocks and sand, which is very gentle.
Xiao Qi sat on the rock, lowered her head to listen to the girl's angry reprimand.
"Didn't I tell you not to run around and stay with Tongqing and Senior Brother?"
"Why did you run so far by yourself?"
"If I hadn't come in time, wouldn't you have been buried in the sea?"
"Are you still listening?"
The young man didn't speak, but looked at her silently, and after a while, he retorted dissatisfiedly: "I couldn't control myself, it was you who left me for a fish."
Yun Ranran was also a little guilty, but he couldn't lose his momentum, so he poked his chest and said loudly: "Okay, I was wrong this time, I apologize to you."
The boy pushed his nose up and said, "What's the use of apologizing, you have to be more careful next time..."
The girl nodded helplessly: "I know, I know, pay attention next time."
She leaned over, raised his little face with her fingertips, and said, "Let me see if he's injured."
The boy raised his neck cooperatively and asked her to check himself.
Yun Ranran carefully looked at it for a while, but did not find any hidden wounds, relieved, patted his little face, and said, "I'm going back."
The boy sat still, looking at her stubbornly.
Yun Ranran sighed, and went back to hold his hand, before he jumped off the rock and obediently followed behind her.
The two walked through the dilapidated wooden boat to the center of the city.
The boy looked at her long hair blown up by the wind, and asked in a low voice, "How did you find me?"
Yun Ranran said angrily: "When I was on the street, I met a thief who stole the girl's package, and helped the girl **** it back. The girl was very grateful. I saw her running so far, so I asked if I saw you."
"The girl said, oh, that boy with frightening eyes went forward."
"I went forward again and met a child who was crying fiercely, so I gave the candy that the girl gave just now to the child. The child's mother said that it was scared to cry by a boy with scary eyes."
"I asked in a hurry, and she said she was going to the small pier, so I hurried over and found you by the sea."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and stared at him: "Why are you still bullying children now?"
The young man was confident: "He is very annoying."
Yun Ranran laughed angrily: "You bastard, what's wrong with your character, how do you get along with others."
The boy didn't speak, just looked at her silently.
The moonlight shone down, illuminating the girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes.
No... and you?

Central Plaza·Tower
The merman boy curled up in the dirty water tank, crying uncontrollably.
When he was distraught, someone chuckled.
He raised his eyes with tears in his eyes, and saw a handsome young man in white.
He sat lazily on the edge of the tower, exactly where the girl sat just now.
He had seen this man in a restaurant, and he was sitting with the girl for dinner at that time, and his name seemed to be Qing He.
He wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and looked at the person seriously, and the moment he saw the person clearly, his eyes widened in an instant.
"Yes, yes, it's you!"
The young man in white looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "He's still alive."
He was taken aback, and tears welled up again.
·
【A few years ago · Long Xiaohai】
Everyone else left by boat, but he refused to leave. He hugged Yun Jian's dying body and swam desperately to the shore. He couldn't let such a person be buried in the belly of a fish.
He swam back to shore with him in his arms, laying him down on the soft sand.
He tried his best to cover his wound, but he was still getting cold gradually.
Why is he so cruel, he can not die.
He obviously just wants to...
He gritted his teeth and thought, if he is really out of control and wants to be a bad person, then he will follow him, but the boy is so determined.
In pain he remembered what he had said.
[I don’t want to be the person I hate the most, so I won’t take risks. 】
How would he meet someone like him again in this life?
He hugged him and wept uncontrollably, just when he vaguely wanted to die with him, someone walked in quietly and laughed lightly.
He raised his head dimly, and saw a handsome young man in white.
He walked directly to his side, then knelt down, went to check Yunjian's breath, and then said: "I'm not dead, why are you crying?"
Under the moonlight, the handsome boy in white clothes is not like a real person, but he is his only life-saving straw. He grabbed his sleeve and asked in tears, "Can you save him?"
The young man in white shook his head: "I can't save it."
He froze for a moment, his eyes turned gray for a moment, and he looked at him in despair.
He suddenly smiled, paused and said: "But you can save."
He felt a little wronged by him, he felt that this person did it on purpose, he just wanted to see him go from despair to hope, he was teasing him.
But when it came to the life and death of the young man, he didn't dare to neglect him, and immediately asked, "Can I save it? How can I save it?"
He looked into his eyes and asked a question.
"Can you give up everything?"
Can I give up everything?
He thought about it carefully, originally he wanted to die with him, what could not be given up?
He nodded vigorously, and said to him: "Yes, I can do anything for him, including this life, I can give him everything."
But the young man in white said, "It's even more painful than these."
What is more painful than losing your life? He didn't understand and looked at him blankly.
The young master smiled and said, "Listen carefully to what I have to say."
He nodded seriously.
"This man is extremely cruel to himself, and cast an unsolvable death curse. Rao, I am helpless, but I can transfer part of him from him."
He understood, and asked, "Is it transferred to me?"
The young master smiled and said: "Transfer a small part to another person, but my ability is limited, I can only draw the ground as a prison, limited to Longxiao City, if you leave this place, my spells will not work."
He asked with a pale face: "Can't those who bear it leave Dragon Clouds City?"
The young man in white smiled and said, "No."
He fell silent.
The young man in white said again: "More than that, you can't die."
He suddenly looked up at him.
The young man in white said: "Once he dies, this spell will fail. Once he accepts all the spells, he will definitely die."
Can't leave, can't die...
He trembled slightly because of fear, in this Dragon Clouds City, especially for him, living was far more painful than dying...
"Ten years, ten years later, you will be able to cut off the connection between this part of the spell and him, and his chances of survival will increase. At that time, if you want to leave, or..."
He didn't go on, just smiled at him: "It's all right."
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and asked, "What about him? Can he live?"
The young man in white said: "Not necessarily, he still endured most of the death curses, and he will definitely kill himself one day."
"Unless someone grabs him."
He smiled: "That's probably a miracle."
"Also, even if he survives, he will no longer be the former Yun Jian. His skills will start to backfire, and he will become a completely different person."
"Probably the kind of person that even he himself would hate."
He stared at him fixedly, speechless.
The young man in white asked: "So do you want to bet? If you trade my ten years for his life, he may become a person that even he hates."
The young man in white pointed to the boat by the sea.
"Or, if you don't save him, I can take you away, get on that boat, and go where you want to go."
The young man in white clothes half closed his black pupils, and looked at him with a smile.
"How do you choose?"
His mind went blank for a moment, he looked at the boat by the sea, then at the Dragon Cloud Palace in the darkness, and finally he looked down at the boy in his arms.
His body was getting colder and his breath was gradually dissipating.
His tears fell on Yun Jian one by one, such a person, how could he watch him die, he stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, but he couldn't wipe them clean.
The young man in white asked, "Are you scared?"
He looked at him with tears in his eyes, and said with a sob: "No, I'm just too happy."
The boy in white was taken aback.
It's true, he wasn't afraid or sad, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't think he could be saved.
He has never been brave in his life, he has been bullied all the time, and now he has a chance to save him, he is really happy.
Not to mention ten years, even if it was a lifetime, he would not hesitate at all.
He wiped away his tears and said to the young man in white: "I am willing, I can."
The young man in white looked at Longxiao City in the darkness, and asked him with a smile: "Do you know what it means to stay here for ten years?"
He knew that neither Ao Jie nor Ao Feng would let him go, and he couldn't hide at all.
He said: "I know."
"Well."
The young man in white took a deep look at him, laid Yun Jian's body flat on the sand, then reached out and inserted his hand into his chest, drawing out a cloud of hideous black mist.
He was frightened by the power carried in the black mist, and couldn't help asking: "This, this, what is this?"
The young master said relaxedly, "Probably something more domineering than the death curse."
More overbearing than the death curse? What is that? What has this person been through?
He dare not imagine.
The young man in white didn't intend to explain either, he condensed the cloud of black mist into a dagger, and cut it between the boy's eyebrows.
In the depths of the young man's sea of consciousness, he saw a vast sea of white mist, covered with sharp thorns and endlessly ferocious.
The young man in white drew out a cloud of white mist as soft as silk with his dagger.
Compared with the young man's spiritual sea, this cloud of white mist is like a wave of the sea, and as soon as it leaves the body, it emits a sharp cry of a child.
He couldn't help being a little scared, but he still asked, "Just take this little?"
The young man in white explained: "I don't want you to bear too much, but to destroy the integrity of the death curse. For Yun Jian, as long as there is a loophole, he will have a glimmer of life."
He handed the white mist to him: "It's good to eat."
He reached out to take it, and as soon as the cloud of white mist entered his palm, he suddenly had an irresistible desire to die, and couldn't help but bumped into the sharp stone, only to be grabbed by the white-clothed man.
Only then did he wake up, holding the cloud of white mist with lingering fear in his heart.
The young man in white said: "You have to overcome."
He nodded again and again: "I just took over, I'm ready now."
Then he carefully swallowed the cloud of white mist into his mouth, the moment he swallowed it, overwhelming thoughts of death suppressed him and passed out directly.
When he woke up again, it was already the second night.
He found himself **** on the sand by the five flowers, and the young man in white had a bonfire and was roasting a small fish.
This scene was so familiar that the circles of his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The movement he made alarmed the young man in white, he turned his head to look, and said: "If you are not tied up, you will commit suicide, are you better now?"
He felt it carefully, and found that although there was some world-weary emotion, it was not as strong as before, which was within the range he could bear.
So he said, "I can do it."
The young man in white came over and untied him.
He keenly noticed that the fingers of the young man in white were more transparent than before, obviously consuming a lot of energy, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you..."
The young man in white said with a smile: "I will probably go back and sleep for more than ten years, and start over from scratch."
"Why did you save Yun Jian? Did you have any past with him?"
The young man in white's eyes curved slightly: "No, I just... just want to see him struggle."
He froze, speechless.
The young man in white laughed out loud. He took down the grilled small fish and asked him, "Do you want to eat it?"
He shook his head.
The young man in white still stuffed the little fish into his palm.
"I'm afraid even this little fish will be a luxury in the future."
He was startled when he heard noisy footsteps coming from the shore, turned his head and found that it was Ao Feng's confidant who was searching the beach with a large group of people.
The young man in white moved Yun Jian's body onto the boat, waved to him, and rowed the boat into the deep sea.
He stood on the shore and watched them go away.
Originally, today is the day of his long journey, and he can also go to the unknown shore.
But he wanted the boy to live even more.
Let's say goodbye today, I don't know if there will be a day of reunion.
He hoped that he would laugh wantonly and live freely as before.
He hoped that someone could see through his indifferent heart and hold his hand.
Ao Feng's people had already approached, and not long after, Ao Feng slowly appeared from the team with bandages on, and he looked at him with a sneer: "Oh, they still abandoned you in the end?"
He knelt before him, tears streaming down his face.
"I can do anything, just don't kill me."
You can't leave, you can't die, you have to live on for ten years.
He thought that he hadn't learned anything in his life, but he would still be obedient, obedient, lose his dignity, and grovel like a dog.
no matter what...
He only hoped that he could hear his voice again and see his happy and unscrupulous eyes.
Hear that.
"Blue algae, get on the boat."

Central Plaza·Tower
The merman boy excitedly looked at the young man in white, and hurriedly asked, "Did he survive?"
The young man in white smiled and said, "Yeah."
Spirulina asked again: "Is it alive... okay?"
The young man in white was silent for a while, then smiled: "It should be..."
He breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed, he curled up into the water tank as if exhausted, and murmured: "That's good."
The young man in white looked at him and asked again: "Do you want to come out?"
He shook his head vigorously: "I don't want to cause extra problems. The ten-year period will expire at the time of the day after tomorrow. After that time..."
The young man in white didn't persuade him any more, and the man disappeared in front of his eyes when a gust of wind blew.
Lanzao looked at the empty tower and shed tears of joy.
He survived, where is he now? What kind of life do you live?
At this moment, he saw a young man and woman walking on the square, it was the little girl named Yun Ranran who had come to ask him earlier.
She led the young man behind her, and was walking through the square to the distance.
The boy suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, revealing a threatening cold look.
He was taken aback, that boy is an angry girl always looking for him, right?
His expression was fierce, even murderous, but he somehow wanted to laugh.
I don't know why, it's obviously scary, but he just can't get angry, not only can't get angry, but also faintly wants to cry.
If he was still alive, would he look like this?
Will there be a person standing firmly beside him and holding his hand firmly?
As he thought about it, tears fell involuntarily.
·
Two days later, the central square in the evening was overcrowded. Ao Feng took the mermaid boy up to the tower as usual. The boy has been docile for ten years.
He lay prone in the water tank, looking at the sea in the distance, imagining places he had never been to.
Ao Feng pulled his chain, pulled him closer, and said mockingly: "When the sun sets, the ten-year agreement will expire, and your wish will be fulfilled."
"Now, then, sing for our guests from afar."
The merman boy was obedient as always, looked ahead and began to sing.
He sang a farewell song today.
When Yun Ranran came with Xiaoqi and Qinghe, she heard this sad and beautiful song.
The three of them were still sitting in the small restaurant yesterday.
Yun Ranran looked up at the boy, and said softly, "He seems a little happy today."
Qing He smiled and said "Oh".
Yun Ranran sighed: "Probably because the ten-year agreement is about to expire, and I feel that my wish is about to be fulfilled, but how can a person like Ao Feng keep his promise?"
"But this guy doesn't listen to anyone and refuses others' help. I want to take him away, but there is no way."
Qing He looked up at the singing mermaid boy, gently lifted the wine in the glass up, made an imperceptible tilt towards him, and drank the wine in one gulp while facing the setting sun.
After the sun gradually fell into the clouds, the clouds were dyed golden orange.
Seabirds flew over the horizon, chirping cheerfully.
The boy's singing sound spread far away, and when the last tone faded away, Ao Feng came to his side, he pulled the boy to him, smiled and whispered in his ear: "I lied to you, your mother Why should dirty blood be included in my family tree?"
"Dirty things like you want something that doesn't belong to you, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
He waited for the reaction of the boy's collapse with a smirk, but to his surprise, the boy was different from his usual begging appearance, but calmly looked at the sunset in the distance.
The daylight disappeared bit by bit, and just after the daylight finally fell completely, the young man's spiritual palace obviously felt a little touch. He knew that the long, dark, but hopeful ten-year agreement had finally arrived.
He began to struggle hard, until he became hysterical. The shackles locked his limbs. Because of his brute force, his wrists and neck were cut with blood, but he still didn't stop struggling, desperately wanting to break free from the shackles.
Ao Feng is satisfied, this is the correct state of breakdown, he proudly appreciates his breakdown, watching him dripping with blood.
He stopped the soldiers around him from stepping forward.
"Wouldn't it be more fun to let him struggle and lock him back when he struggles out? Anyway, he doesn't dare to resist."
The young man let out a low growl, exhausted all his strength, and finally broke free from the shackles on his wrists. Blood trickled down drop by drop, staining his arms red, and he began to forcefully break the shackles around his neck again. All ten fingers are worn out, but they still don't stop.
The chain around the neck gradually deformed under such brute force, and finally broke with a "snap".
He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and began to break the chain on his waist.
It was originally dark, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but now they finally realized that something was wrong, and they all looked up.
Yun Ranran also noticed the change, she asked in surprise, "What is he doing?"
Qinghe watched silently without saying a word.
Xiao Qi is usually indifferent to these things, but today she looked up for the first time.
Compared with his usual meekness, the mermaid boy was hysterical, Yun Ranran suddenly said: "I saw what Ao Feng said to him just now, did Ao Feng tell him that he was lying to him?"
Qing He said: "It should be."
The crowd gradually sounded the voice of discussion.
【what happened to him? Isn't it a doll? Why did you suddenly go crazy? 】
【Won't come down and bite us? Ao Feng must be tied up. 】
[I heard that he is a real person. He thought that being a dog would allow him to enter the Ao family tree, but he collapsed when he woke up from the dream. 】
[Hahahaha, is there such a stupid person in this world? 】
[Thinking about things that don't belong to you will always pay a price. This is probably the retribution for his desire to climb high. 】
The people below were chattering and discussing the behavior of the teenager, which was unbearable and ugly.
The young man on the high tower turned a deaf ear to it. With his efforts, the last chain on his waist was finally broken.
At this point, all the chains on his body were broken.
He climbed out of the water tank in pieces and dripping with blood, and wobbled to his feet.
He was really in a mess, his pretty little face was bruised, his red lips were stained with blood, his clothes were messy, and his body was covered in blood. Even the beautiful shark's tail had begun to peel off its scales due to being soaked in sewage for a long time.
He stood quietly, looking at the endless sea once again.
Seeing the tears falling down uncontrollably, he raised his arms to cover his eyes, crying uncontrollably, and then the more he cried, the more wanton and hysterical he became.
As if to cry out all the grievances in this life.
He's...free...
He finally had a choice.
He stood on the tall tower, crying like a child who has been wronged and no one loves him.
As long as that person is still alive somewhere, as long as his heart is still beating in his chest, he feels that everything is worth it.
In the past, he wanted to go far away, to see the scenery on the other side, but now...
He looked down at his feet...
So be it…
Don't let anyone run around for him anymore, don't let anyone work hard for him...
That's it.
He closed his eyes and suddenly fell down.
so tired...
He...doesn't want to live anymore...
This accident caused everyone to exclaim in surprise, no one thought that the boy would jump off the building like this, and scattered in shock for a moment.
Qing He calmly drank a glass of wine.
The young man at the side was stunned for some reason, but there was a faint dull pain in his chest, but there was nothing else except the dull pain. He looked at the young man's falling body indifferently, without any extra emotion.
And the girl sitting on the side has long since disappeared.
Just when the merman boy was about to fall, a little girl shouted "Get out of the way" and rushed to the center, then stood at the spot where the boy fell, and stretched out her hands, intending to catch him.
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
It was Ao Feng's pet that he had been playing with for ten years. He treated it as garbage but refused to be touched by anyone. Anyone who tried to get close to it would suffer misfortune.
That is a mermaid who deserves to be blamed, greedy and naive to pay the price, not worthy of sympathy.
Everyone avoids like snakes and scorpions, why did she rush over?
Didn't she know that she would offend the Ao family?
The girl stood firmly on the spot, stretching out her hands without flinching.
The long wind brushed her gentle eyebrows and eyes, and she raised the corners of her mouth.
"Blue algae, let's go to the other side of the sea and have a look."
The weak and falling young man was startled, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Why is the gentleness of these people so tempting to cry?
He has blown the strongest wind, plunged into the deepest sea, and experienced the most desperate darkness.
He thought this world was nothing more than that.
Until, he fell into a warm embrace.
The girl said to him with a smile.
"Blue algae, let's go together."
