Lost Control

I Never Blamed You

Author's POV

In the middle of night wei ying opened his eyes. He feels immense pain as the spirit was again trying to take control. He tries his best to resist. He wanted to spend more time with Lan zhan. He feels like it had been eternity since he had good sleep like today. He tries to control the spirit but his all efforts were in vain. Slowly he stops struggling as he could not win and it only gave him pain.

The spirit finally takes control. He says to himself while caressing his face,"why to struggle when you can't win."

He then looks at the sleeping Lan zhan and gives a faint smile. Getting up from bed he goes out of room leaving Lan zhan alone.

"Let's read the next rule."

Lan qiren,"Rule-3 don't kill. There are only three rules. Nothing else is written on this paper."

Jiang Cheng,"we should explore this place. We can't stand in this circle formation and just wait right."

Jin guangyao, "Let's look around if we can find a way out."

Lan xichen, "okay."

Nie minjue,"Everyone be careful and be close to each other. "

The crowd slowly started walking in the dim blue light of talisman.

As they looked around they realised that this place was like a big cave where there was no way to go out till now.

Nie minjue, "Weren't we at never night. How we came to this place."

Nie huaisang, "I think the spirit which possessed brother wei has something to do with it. He is quite powerful. And also his origin is unknown to us."

Jin guangshan, "I wish we had killed that curse before so nothing like this would have happened.

Lan xichen," let's not talk about how we came here. But we should think about how we get out of here safely. "

Lan qiren, "Everybody be careful. Don't break rules."

Suddenly a girl within the crowd screamed.
Everyone turned to her.

"What happened?"

"Why are you shouting?"

"Are you fine?"

The girl was trembling. She looked at the people around her with fearful  teary eyes.
With shaking hands she pointed towards a corner.
Everyone looked at where she was pointing and froze.

"The..this what is this?"

The scene in front made many of them vomit. Most of them closed their eyes unable to look .

Jiang Cheng, "wei wuxian?"

There was sitting a very pale wei wuxian with many bruises on his body. He was very thin. The shocking thing was that he was eating a corpse as if he was very hungry. He was busy eating the corpse like a delicious food ignoring the crowd as they didn't exist there.
But when Jiang Cheng said his name he looked towards the crowd slowly. His dark eyes clearly showed that he hasn't slept for days. His lipswere stained with blood and also had small bits a muscles around his lips which made him quite scary. His hands were bloody and the corpse near him was half eaten.

He looked at the crowd with dead eyes for few minutes. Then he again turned his gaze towards his food and started to eat again.
The scene in front of the crowd was disgusting.
The crowd didn't know what to feel about this Wei wuxian who looked very pitiful.

Nie huaisang, "what is this?"

"why is he eating corpse?"

"How come wei wuxian is here?"

"Should we kill him. He looks very weak. He won't be able to fight. We can finally get rid of this demonic cultivator."

Jiang cheng rolled his eyes listening to this stupid creature,
"Are you mad? Don't kill is a rule."

Then suddenly wei wuxian vomited whatever he ate. His eyes became teary and he clenched his stomach tightly for few seconds.  Then he again started to eat the corpse.

The scene in front of the crowd was too much for them.

Lan xichen, "childe wei."
There was no response from wei wuxian.
Jiang Cheng, "wei wuxian."
Again there was no response.

Jin guangyao, "I think we should walk further."

Nie minjue, "I agree with it."

The crowd turned around to walk away only to be stopped by a harsh sound.

"Where do you think you are going."

Then again painful screams were heard. Most of people closed their ears tightly by their hands .

After few minutes the screams stopped and there was pin drop silence again.

Few people of the crowd slowly turned back to look what has happened.
To their surprise there were dead bodies of three people who were among the crowd just now and they were eaten just like the corpse wei wuxian was eating earlier.
And wei wuxian was nowhere to be found.

Nie minjue,"we must not turn back."

Many people of the crowd started crying.
"I want to get out of this place."

"I don't want to die here."

Seeing there members dying one by one the people started to lose hope.

Lan xichen, "all of you don't panic. We all will survive here. Just all of you need to follow the rules. Don't break them in any circumstances."

Lan qiren,"All of you calm down. "

Lan xichen, "I think these people died because they must have looked back when wei wuxian talked to us. I warn everyone of you whenever you hear someone calling or you hear someone's screams don't ever turn back."

The crowd again started to walk further.
They didn't know how big this cave was they were walking form a long time and it was never ending.

In that pin drop silence again a voice was heard.

"Axian"
Everyone looked from where the sound came.

Yanli was injured in Jiang Cheng's arms and wei wuxian was sitting near her terrified.
She said with much difficulty while caressing wei wuxain's cheeks,
"Axian I never blamed you."
