There has never been a winner decided.
Yet as long as the Heart Demon inside him remains, he cannot approach Nangong Ruyue.
Her safety is more important than anything else, and he doesn't dare to risk anything.
To prevent her from getting hurt, he can only choose to leave silently.
But after leaving, he misses her desperately—
Thankfully, he took those nine voice recorders with him when he left.
Not seeing her, just hearing her voice can temporarily ease his longing.
Xiao Zexin presses the recorder against his chest and closes his eyes to listen quietly to her voice.
Yet in his mind, that bloody imagery still uncontrollably appears.
His hands itch, trembling uncontrollably.
He is so afraid that he will actually grab a knife and do something he would regret for the rest of his life...
Xiao Zexin grits his teeth, bitterly suppressing the Heart Demon.
He has to conquer the hallucinations, or he will never get better.
However, his thoughts remain beyond his control.
