This Damned Thirst for Survival

Chapter 200 - recover

That one word suddenly sent a huge wave of emotion through Jiang Luo's heart.

Jiang Luo's nerves were numbed by his great joy and grief, but Chi You struck a soft spot in Jiang Luo's heart. He didn't know what to say, but when he turned his head to look around, Chi You had already lost consciousness.

Jiang Luo's heart fell, and he immediately helped Chi You to walk further away from the dragon vein.

Chi You was so badly injured that he fell into a coma after saying "no" and did not wake up for days. Jiang Luo didn't dare take him to a place where there were people. When Chi You was defenceless, anyone could have killed Chi You, and anyone could have been Chi You's enemy.

The people of the country cannot be touched because Chi You is a dangerous person. Ordinary humans cannot be touched because it is not certain that they are followers of the Fate. It is also necessary to avoid the possible pursuit of the Fated One and his gods, as well as the metaphysical community.

Jiang Luo is in hiding with Chi You, who is unconscious, and Jiang Luo seems to be walking a one-way street. He can't let go of the slightest hint of movement, and when he sees someone approaching, he immediately moves to another place.

Jiang Luo experienced what it was like to run for his life, and he didn't even tell his friends to be safe.

Jiang Luo's nerves were tense because of the exhaustion of the past few days. He had no time to think about Teng Bi's death, about Chi You jumping Longquan for him, or about his own resurrection from the dead. All these things were pushed deep inside his head in the face of the tight schedule, but they were like bombs buried in the ground, apparently untouched, but the aftershocks were always there and getting louder and louder.

Jiang Luo took Chi You to live in the forest when he was still a blood man. He drank the dew, ate the fruit and could not leave Chi You for a few minutes because even a wild animal could kill Chi You.

Longquan has completely damaged the strength of Chi You's stone body, and Chi You's strength and recovery rate have been drastically reduced. Whereas the Chi You was once hard enough to shatter teeth, now anything can take a bite out of him.

Once Chi You had been rehabilitated, Jiang Luo took him to live with him in a farmhouse. The owner provided three meals and two buckets of hot water every day. He had no money to give to the family, so he used two ginseng sticks he dug up in the mountains to pay for his stay.

They never asked Jiang Luo why he had an unconscious man with him, just that the food was delivered, and never asked any other questions.

Jiang Luo asked his host's eldest son to buy him a mobile phone after selling the ginseng and replacing it with a phone card. With the phone in hand, Jiang Luo secretly sent a message to Wen Renlian to tell them to stay on Dawu Mountain and then switched it off, not daring to say anything more.

After ten days of being on tenterhooks, with each day being a tale of fear, Chi You finally opened his eyes when Jiang Luo's spirit was exhausted.

Jiang Luo almost thought he was hallucinating, but when he was sure that Chi You was really awake, a stone finally fell from his heart and Jiang Luo let out a breath and said in a muffled voice, "You're finally awake.

Chi You looked at him inch by inch, seeing the tiny cuts on his hands under his blue-black eyes, before asking, "How long have I been asleep?"

Jiang Luo said, "Half a month."

Chi You sat up on the mattress and as he looked around, he knew what was going on now. It was clear that Jiang Luo had suffered for him for half a month, but Chi You couldn't help but smile a little as his lips curled up, "Half a month? A little better than I thought."

The corner of Jiang Luo's mouth twitched, and the sight of him smiling made him look like he deserved a beating. But when he thought about why this man had been injured, his heart softened. He got up and poured a glass of water for Chi You, "How are you feeling now?"

"Not bad," Chi You said gently, "the ghost lines are almost gone."

Jiang Luo was shocked, "The ghost pattern is almost gone?"

Chi You was still in the mood for a smile, "The Predestinarians have found a good way to do it this time."

The ghost tattoo is what Chi You relies on to kill the predestined.

This thing is the transformation of the evil spirit of the predestined person, which has been perpetuated in the body of the first line of the Chi family for two hundred years, not knowing how many lives of the first line of the Chi family have been devoured in turn and how many evil spirits have been devoured injustice.

In two hundred years, the host grows and so does the ghost tattoo, even more amazingly so because the Chi family's side line has frantically allowed the Chi family's full line to devour the Liege Ghost with their ghost tattoos.

Chi You was the perfect fit for the Ghostly Pattern, and even at birth, his innate evil was so close to the Ghostly Pattern that Chi You completely fused with it while he was still alive, making it part of him. Chi You's fusion with the Ghost Mark is tantamount to the fusion of countless ghosts, which is why, according to Ge Wuchen, Chi You was an evil spirit when he was still alive.

After the fusion of the ghost tattoo, the ghost tattoo is something that belongs to Chi You completely, and when Chi You dies the ghost tattoo will also belong to Chi You, turning Chi You into a sane and evil spirit.

The Fated One has known that the ghost tattoo was the key since he predicted that he would be killed by Chi You. He had Chi You's soul made into Yuan Tianzhu because he wanted to disintegrate Chi You's ghost tattoo, and this time he designed Chi You to jump into the spring pool for the ghost tattoo.

Chi You will be seriously wounded if not killed, and as the Fates expected, Chi You is not dead, but his ghostly mark is about to be dissolved by Longquan.

Two hundred years of accumulation are gone in one fell swoop.

If Chi You wants to kill the Predestined One again, it will take another two hundred years of accumulation. But after two hundred years, who knows if the Predestined One will have achieved his goal and become a god? Even if he doesn't become a god, the Predestined Man will become stronger. Even if Chi You returns to his previous level, the gap between him and the Predestined Man will only grow wider, let alone kill the Predestined Man.

This is the good calculation of the predestined.

Chi You guessed this ending when he jumped off Longquan.

But he was calm.

He knows exactly what he is doing and feels no regrets.

Even if he had to do it again, he would do so and would go up the mountain early to find Jiang Luo and avoid the moment of his death.

Chi You slowly drank half a cup of tea, and apart from his pale face, no one could tell whether he was hurt or not. Jiang Luo pursed his lips in a complicated way and asked in a low voice, "Can the ghost lines still be recovered?"

"Devour more ghosts and you will recover sooner or later," Chi You lightly brushed it off, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Luo, and at the sight of Jiang Luo's furrowed brow, a sudden joy bubbled up inside the evil ghost, his smile growing higher and higher, his tone pleasant, "Are you heartbroken?"

Jiang Luo did not say yes or no, but said vaguely, "I am a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Chi You simply said, "Then become my lover."

Jiang Luo gave Chi You a quizzical look and wondered if he had dropped his head, "Aren't we lovers now?"

Chi You frowned.

Yes, they are now lovers.

But this 'lover's relationship' is not the same as the one Chi You wants.

He was not satisfied with this relationship, but Chi You could not understand what was different. All he knows is that after Jiang Luo's death, he will never let Jiang Luo go from him again.

At the time of Jiang Luo's death, Chi You really hated Jiang Luo.

He hated to save the man and strangle him alive; he hated to tear Jiang Luo's body to pieces before swallowing it with its flesh and bones. The hatred was so deep that it was more violent and trembling than the hatred of his predecessor. It made Chi You's hands tremble with hatred, wanting to crush Jiang Luo to pieces.

How can Jiang Luo be so cruel?

But when Jiang Luo's pulse returned and he took on the warmth of a living person, Chi You's hatred instantly dissolved into a more intense emotion. Chi You held Jiang Luo as if he were holding a lost soul.

The feelings were so terrible that the malicious and dark side of Chi You's heart completely took over the high ground, and even now, the demonic barrier has eaten away at Chi You, causing Chi You to do extremely horrible things to Jiang Luo if he is not careful.

Chi You knows that if he shows his true self, he will only make Jiang Luo wary and defensive. He sips his tea calmly, hiding the darkening hue under his eyes and pretending to be calm.

Jiang Luo hesitated for a moment and continued, "Apart from the ghost lines, where else are you not feeling well?"

Chi You said lightly, "The soul. If it weren't for the body of this evil god idol, you would see me now as you did when you first saw me."

Jiang Luo remembers the first time he saw Chi You, who was a black mist that could not even take on a human form, and he had to use the mirror in the toilet to make his arms out of the mist if he wanted to strangle him.

Jiang Luo didn't need Chi You to tell him how badly he was hurt.

Jiang Luo's face sank.

Chi You's serious injury, Teng Bi's death, his own resurrection from the dead, all rubbed together in confusion and disorder, all turned into hatred for his predecessor. Jiang Luo has been recovering gradually over the past few days, his physical strength increasing. Jiang Luo had a gut feeling that he could defeat the Predestined One.

But no, simply defeating the predestined is not enough.

This was not enough to vent Jiang Luo's anger and hatred.

He will make the death of the predestined man even worse, so that his hopes will be completely dashed.

He will do unto others as they do unto him.
