I Am A Killer

I AM A KILLER : CHAPTER 67 ♦ UNTITLED (2)

After a while, You Ming gradually opened his eyes and looked at Zhuo Xiao Xuan happily, "Xiao Ye..."

"Shut up! Don't think I don't dare to kill you!" Zhuo Xiao Xuan pressed the muzzle of the gun against his forehead as she growled.

"Xiao Ye, I've never wanted to kill you..."

"Shut up!" Zhuo Xiao Xuan raised her hand, irascible, as she sent him a slap. She grabbed You Ming's collar, her eyes glaringly red, "Shut up! Shut up!"

You Ming licked the drop of blood sliding down by the end of his mouth. His lips slanting into a bitter smile, he continued: "You were poisoned badly and we were in no position to retaliate. Du Bu's dozens of guards were in our pursuit; if you were captured, they'd sever your tendons and send you to Aunt Hong's, that's why I stabbed you. If you died, you wouldn't need to endure being taken advantage of by them. If you didn't die, you would be able to find a chance to escape... even if you hate me for the rest of your life, I would do the same if I was given another chance." After saying that, he gently hugged Zhuo Xiao Xuan, "Xiao Ye, sorry, I'm too useless; I wasn't able to protect you."

Zhuo Xiao Xuan was rigid. At hearing him apologise over and over, her eyes reddened. From the moment she was caught and thrown into the training arena, to slowly becoming the top assassin, she didn't cry when her jie jie died, nor did she cry when taking the heavy blow just before she died; crying would only make someone weak. What she needed to do was to become strong, you can only survive by becoming strong.

You Ming felt the chilliness by his neck. Releasing his grip around Zhuo Xiao Xuan, he gently pushed her away. He looked at her. She was still cold and indifferent, yet two streams of tears flowed from her eyes. Very quickly, they froze into ice in the low temperature.

You Ming raised his hand to wipe away her tear, "Xiao Ye..."

"You're right, you did the best you could, I have no reason to hate you, nor to blame you..." Zhuo Xiao Xuan muttered. How would she not know that all this was just an excuse she found for herself to explain the fact that she wanted to stay alive. She hated the organisation Realm, hated that it ruined everything for her, and she hated You Ming, hated that she trusted him so much but ended up being stabbed to death by him... Other than hate, she could not find another reason to live. She fell off that cliff for no rhyme nor reason and came into this world. If she didn't use "hate" as a reason, what's there for her to hold out till now for? After being a killer for so many years, she had never thought of giving up her own live. She wanted to live, but she couldn't find a reason for herself to live, and so her "hate" was the loaned reconciliation to this dilemma.

Things were different now however; she had promised Yin Xu Dong that she had to return, alive. The burning rage was vented along with the fire of her gun previously, vanishing into thin air. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. Was this what you call, being crazy?

You Ming opened and closed his mouth for a while before asking glumly: "You managed to get rid of the poison in your body?"

Zhuo Xiao Xuan told him that the body wasn't actually hers. She reincarnated into someone else's body, so she did not have the poison that ailed her from her previous life. After which, she briefly told him about her experiences after coming to this world, and that made You Ming exclaim in wonder.

After which, Zhuo Xiao Xuan asked: "What about you? How did you transmigrate? Did your entire body travel over with you? How are you alive without the antidote from the organisation?"

"Me? After I returned to the organisation, they reported me. I was tortured and thrown into the mass graves. After I woke up, I found myself here, and I met Gao Zheng Ye by coincidence, so he brought me with him, healed him and even removed my poison, even though it's a little strange for there to be a way to remove my poison here. After that, I became his bodyguard. I didn't expect that it'd be your mission to finish him off."
