Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1062 - 1058: Cruel Death

Hunger, cold, and body aches consumed Wei Zixu, and after a long time, he finally fell into a dazed sleep.

He didn’t know how long he had slept, then woke up from hunger, feeling numb all over, as if his stomach was on fire. He struggled to move his body, hoping someone would save him.

But unfortunately, his entire body was weak and powerless, even soft sobbing seemed too much, he felt like his body was in pain, as if being torn apart.

But he could do nothing, only lie on the ground and moan slightly, like the faint whimper of insects.

It was unknown how long it took for the pain to gradually leave his body, his whole being becoming light, extremely comfortable, and he drifted back into a comfortable sleep.

Unknown how long he slept, he woke again; this time he didn’t feel hungry, only felt weak and feverish, his brain muddled, knowing he must have a high fever.

He knew so clearly because he had experienced such a fever before, receiving treatment in the hospital for almost half a month before recovery.

Back then, he had his father, mother, grandpa, and grandma taking turns staying by his side, buying him tasty food, fun toys, reading him stories; despite the discomfort of the initial fever days, he felt quite happy later.

But this time, there was no one around him, only mosquitoes continuously biting him, but his body was already numb, unable to feel much pain.

His consciousness began to scatter; at one moment he was playing with friends at the park, at another moment watching TV at home, and then in the supermarket with mom...

After some time, the car door was suddenly pulled open from the outside, sunlight streamed in.

Yet lying on the ground, Wei Zixu showed no reaction.

"Damn, is this kid dead?"

The speaker was the square-faced man who had tricked Wei Zixu into the car.

"Dead, that’s a relief. Money isn’t in hand, why keep him?"

The speaker was a young man who had stayed in the car, sinister compared to the square-faced man.

The square-faced man tested Wei Zixu’s breath with a hand, somewhat surprised: "He’s not dead yet."

"Then make him dead." The young man said cruelly.

"Better leave him by the roadside; if he survives, it’s his luck, if he dies, serves him right." The square-faced man hesitated, showing some pity.

"Stop spouting nonsense; he knows our appearances, if he isn’t dead, we’re facing jail time, and if you go to jail, who’s gonna take care of your wife and kids..."

The young man’s words jabbed at the square-faced man’s sore spot, causing him to grit his teeth, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

"Then hurry up and find a big rock."

"What for?"

"Just do it, stop with all the questions." The young man reprimanded.

"Oh... okay..." Hearing this, the square-faced man quickly turned away.

After the square-faced man left, the young man dragged Wei Zixu to the car door. The sunlight remained warm, cast upon Wei Zixu, slightly awakening his consciousness.

He barely opened his eyes, seeing the young man glaring menacingly at him.

Wei Zixu quickly closed his eyes again, not out of fear, but because his entire body was devoid of strength. He couldn’t even muster the energy to be scared, he completely gave up struggling.

Until a large hand clamped around his throat.

The feeling of suffocation rushed in like a tidal wave, his lungs like balloons about to explode. The instinct to survive infused his weak body with a surge of strength.

He opened his eyes wide, struggling fiercely his trapped legs.

But he was too young, his strength paling compared to an adult’s, in the end losing all power, returning to that feeling of floating in air, his vision turning dark...

Before he died, he vaguely heard the killer whisper beside his ear.

"Blame your parents, for calling the police, making me work for nothing..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Thud~"

Bound tightly with a big rock, Wei Zixu was thrown into the water.

The rock dragged him down, bit by bit sinking into the dark depths of the lake, time flowed beneath the silent lake water.

The body submerged in water gradually began to swell and deform, the previously small body distorting beyond recognition.

Bloated decaying flesh soon became prey for the aquatic creatures. A swarm of fish and shrimp gathered by scent, densely surrounding the corpse, their sharp teeth gnawing at the rotten skin and meat.

Bacteria in the water frantically bred and colonized the corpse, breaking down the remaining tissues, accelerating the corpse’s decay and dissolution.

Deep in the lake, the roots of some sturdy reeds quietly spread, their sharp stems piercing the gaps in the skeleton, consuming the remaining flesh for nourishment.

And that once vibrant small body lay in the cold, dark depths of the lake, bit by bit gnawed, decomposed, leaving only white bones...

Shen Siyuan gasped as he withdrew from Wei Zixu’s nightmare.

Reading memories had this drawback, feeling as if becoming one with the other person.

All the pain in the other’s memory, he would experience as if living through it firsthand.

This was the fundamental reason Shen Siyuan hesitated to read others’ memories easily.

Experiencing it too frequently, he worried he might go mad.

After all, every person who died unintentionally, carries untold pain.

Shen Siyuan, being an adult, quickly regained his composure after consciousness detached.

While sitting across from him, Wei Zixu kept quietly sobbing.

Reading Wei Zixu’s memory also caused some past memories to surface, as if once again experiencing the kidnapping process.

"It’s all over now, don’t worry, I’ll help you find your dad and mom." Shen Siyuan gently comforted.

Wei Zixu shook his head at this, saying: "I don’t want to find them anymore."

"Huh? Why, don’t you miss them? Don’t you want them?"

Before Shen Siyuan could speak, Dou Dou urgently asked from the side.

Wei Zixu looked up at Shen Siyuan, this was his first time directly facing him.

"Brother, I don’t want to find dad and mom."

"Whatever you want, if you don’t want to find, then don’t."

"Why? Why..." Dou Dou anxiously jumped nearby.

Duoduo similarly didn’t understand, "You searched for so long, why don’t you want to find them now?"

Wei Zixu said: "Precisely because it’s been too long, I don’t want to find them, finding them can’t be with them, it’ll just be sad, so better... better not to find..."

He looked at Duoduo and Dou Dou nearby, "Knowing you both, I’m already happy, plus... plus brother..."

Shen Siyuan reached out to ruffle his small head.

"Do you have any other wishes?"

Shen Siyuan knew that since Wei Zixu wandered the Mortal world for so many years, he must have unfulfilled wishes; if not finding his parents, there had to be something else.

Indeed, hearing Shen Siyuan, Wei Zixu’s face instantly showed resentment.

"I want to catch those two bad guys, I want revenge..."

"Right, right, catch them, burn them with fire," Dou Dou echoed fiercely from the side.

Only Duoduo sat silently, seemingly recalling something.
