Acting as if he did not hear anything, Bai Luo Yin remained to the side and continued to speak garrulously without getting to the point. "Before he died, his face was completely purple. His lips were so parched like that of an old dried up tree bark. He kept on crying out miserably: Brother ah, brother ah, I'm really thirsty. My fingers are all broken from being chewed on. I drank my blood dry already...brother ah, brother ah. I'm really hungry. My stomach is stuffed with tree roots and insects from the soil that was dug up. Brother ah, brother ah, I'm really cold. All my toes are all split open, mutilated and bloody......"

Hearing Bai Luo Yin's dreadful voice, Gu Yang shouted coldly at him to stop, "Don't take me as Gu Hai. I am not that easily swayed."

"AHHH!!!"

Bai Luo Yin suddenly screamed without any warning sign at all. His voice was so loud and crisp, that it provoked Gu Yang's pupils to widen.

"I see Da Hai. I can really see Da Hai. He's under your bed......"

After saying that, he immediately leaned down at the side of the bed; his upper body scuttled beneath, while his legs and feet remained on top. By then his head had already reached the floor. There was an obvious sound of excitement in his voice that he could not suppress once he spoke again.

"Da Hai, say whatever it is you want to say. I'm listening."

Suddenly, the veins on Gu Yang's temple jumped; unable to bear the thought of it, he kicked Bai Luo Yin off the bed.

Even then, Bai Luo Yin continued to speak to the air beneath the bed although no one else was present in the room. The way he spoke was clear, precise and orderly, to the point that it seemed like he actually did hear something. Many of the words used were very sensational, all said for Gu Yang to hear. But, Gu Yang pretended to be deaf. Bai Luo Yin was like an audio recording device, patiently and painstakingly saying those words over and over again.

At long last, Bai Luo Yin successfully tugged at Gu Yang's supposedly impenetrable nerves and annoyed him. Unable to continue bearing with this tedious behavior, Gu Yang quickly and violently got up and grabbed Bai Luo Yin's belt, with the intention of hauling him back up onto the bed. But, Bai Luo Yin's belt loosened and gravity took control by dragging his legs and feet off the bed. Gu Yang's eyes merely widened as he watched the boy's entire body slip to the ground, leaving only the belt in his hand.

"Da Hai......I'm here to accompany you. I'll go with you..." whispered Bai Luo Yin listlessly, his strength dwindling along with his breath.

Looking morose, Gu Yang lugged his body off the bed. He wanted to pull The foolish boy up, however, he quickly noticed that Bai Luo Yin's body was really stiff. Within seconds, anxiety overflowed his face as he made haste and switched the lamp on. What he saw then was Bai Luo Yin's sickly countenance, depleted of all colors. His eyes were opened wider than usual while his lips trembled as if wanting to say something but was unable to.

Gu Yang carried Bai Luo Yin onto the bed and quickly called for a doctor to come over. By the time he hung up the call, Bai Luo Yin had already lost consciousness.

"Fuck! I've lost to you. You didn't use this method to keep a hold on Gu Hai, did you?"

Gu Yang stood at the side of the bed at a loss for words, with a dumbstruck expression trickling from the side of his face. Even the wrinkles between his brows seemed to have tightened tremendously. Since the moment Bai Luo Yin requested help from him, he had already decided he would help. As for his unreasonable demands, it was purely out of evil delight.
