Chapter 4: Begging for Death
It was almost noon when Mo Yuan arrived in W City. Just after arriving on the ground, he turned his cell phone on and then immediately called Dong Xie. When he called, Dong Xie and the others had already arrived at the hotel, checked in and had just entered the room. "Mo Yuan!" After picking up his cell phone, Mo Yuan heard Dong Xie's voice and said, "Where are you guys now? I'll come over right away." Inside these eight residents, Mo Yuan's first thought of contacting was Dong Xie, who was the latest to enter the apartment inside and was still on Qin Ziyuan's side. As for the reason …… it was because Dong Xie lived across the street from his house, or because he had most likely heard the real reason why he wanted to intervene in this Bloodletter? "The Violet Hotel, which is just two kilometers down the road from that movie theater, we booked three rooms for ……" That movie theater itself is also on the outskirts of W city in the urban and rural areas, relatively quite a bit more remote, a marketing gimmick deliberately created by the movie theater. After hearing the room numbers, Mo Yuan nodded and said, "I'll be right over." At this time, the two people who shared a room with Dong Xie were Tiesheng and another resident named Xia Lin. Hearing that Mo Yuan had contacted Dong Xie and said he was coming over right away, Xia Lin immediately revealed a look of relief, "Hoo …… great, listening to what Zhang Lun said just now, I was worried that Mo Yuan he wouldn't come. Dong Xie, with you as the dark horse dweller, plus Mo Yuan, our hope of surviving has greatly increased! Cheer up! We might really …… be able to." "I'll go down and pick up Mo Yuan." Dong Qi's heart was uncomfortable as he listened to the celebration in Xia Lin's words. From start to finish, it seemed that none of the occupants were worried about Mo Yuan's safety in life and death. Although it was human nature, he was just sad in his heart. He walked out of his room and went straight to the elevator. At the same time, a call was made to Qin Ziyuan to report that Mo Yuan had arrived. "He finally contacted you?" Qin Ziyuan's voice was, obviously, quite heavy, and Dong Xie could hear that Qin Ziyuan was genuinely sad. Dong Xie suddenly found it ironic that the one who was truly worried about Mo Yuan was actually Qin Ziyuan, who had always been in opposition to Mo Yuan. "Listen …… to this," Qin Ziyuan continued, "Mo Yuan will be in danger in this Bloodletter. Can you …… think of a way …… to make Mo Yuan take sleeping pills and then make him sleep inside the hotel room?" Hearing this made Dong Xie freeze. "He's not the executive occupant of this Bloodletter right now! Even if the life path hint clues are not given in full, the evil spirits can kill him immediately! In the past, when we took unrelated people to execute the Blood Word, many of them directly hung up not long after the Blood Word started! Mo Yuan is a resident, so maybe the situation will be special, but it's also very likely that he'll die on the spot! If he dies, there can't be anyone like him in the future who is willing to help all the residents without compensation!" "This ……" "Of course, it's not an order. If you don't agree, I won't force you." Qin Ziyuan could certainly give this order directly to Dong Xie, but if Dong Xie later died in this Bloodletter, there was no guarantee that Dong Ning wouldn't be filled with resentment towards himself. Dong Ning was also a very rare talent, very much valued by Qin Ziyuan. And even if Dong Evil survived, the possibility of him harboring a grudge against Qin Ziyuan as a result could not be ruled out. To Qin Ziyuan, no matter how much he valued Mo Yuan, the latter was not on his side after all, and if he wanted to ensure that his power fundamentals were in place, he had to wholeheartedly fight for the interests of each and every one of the residents who had defected to him. If he sacrifices the interests of the residents on his side for Mo Yuan, there is no guarantee that he will not chill the hearts of others. As the saying goes, if the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead. To be fair, Qin Ziyuan was also very clear. Mo Yuan had gradually started to lose his will to live ever since he had learned from Fang Han that it was impossible to revive the dead. He was now living in the hope of saving a few more apartment dwellers, and no longer cared much about how long he could live. Without a strong enough desire to survive, how long could Mo Yuan live in the future? As for Qin Ziyuan, his ruling fundamentals in the future in the tenants must not be a problem, or else the importance of the barrel of a gun will be manifested in the future after the tenants with different numbers of blood words break out into conflicts. Qin Ziyuan, who had suffered from domestic violence since childhood, highly worshipped and fetishized violence. "I repeat, this is not an order. No matter what, the life and death of everyone who defects to me is more important than Mo Yuan. You can rest assured of this." Qin Ziyuan thought to himself that the most he could do to help Mo Yuan was up to this point. If Qin Ziyuan was giving orders, Dong Xie naturally couldn't disobey them, not to mention that Ning was still inside the apartment, and with the fact that Qin Ziyuan had killed people to establish his authority earlier, who would dare to defy his orders? But he let Dong Qi decide for himself. Dong Xie knew that Mo Yuan's participation in the Bloodletter would have a high mortality rate, but it would also likely provide Dong Xie with important clues to his survival. It was a difficult choice for most people. Ever since he was a child, his grades have never been as good as Ah Ning's, he was silent and introverted, didn't have many friends, and was always bullied. Over time, he gradually developed a very strong inferiority complex. Relying on himself alone, he really didn't think there was any hope of surviving this Bloodletter. What's more, the other seven occupants were all rabble. Executing the bloodletter with them would have even less optimistic consequences. "Can I have the kind of potential that Qin Ziyuan said I had, to survive this Bloodletter mission just by myself?" However, people with low self-esteem also tended to have a more sensitive self-esteem than normal people. It was simply impossible to survive ten Blood Characters by relying on hugging one's thigh. Dong Xie was not willing to spend his life only living in the light of others! The elevator came, and he made the decision to follow what Qin Ziyuan had said and give Mo Yuan sleeping pills! He was going to live through this Bloodletter on his own! However, after meeting Mo Yuan, he had to ask about Fu Ying Yue's relationship with him. After arriving on the first floor, he didn't have to wait long in the hotel lobby before Mo Yuan arrived. Because he had shaved, it took Dong Xie a full five seconds to recognize him. And when Mo Yuan came to him, Dong Xie was just about to speak when the former spoke first: "Have you contacted Qin Ziyuan yet?" "Yes, contact has been made." "Did he ask you to intercept me and prevent me from going to the movie theater?" "He ……" "Let's see, did he ask you to give me sleeping pills or put a wallet on me to plant a theft or something like that? Doesn't matter. I'll get another room and won't eat any of the food you provide. When the time comes, we'll go out." Dong Xie was silent for a moment. He hadn't expected that Mo Yuan would know Qin Ziyuan that well. "Mo Yuan, can we talk?" Dong Xie pondered for a while before deciding to persuade Mo Yuan, "No matter what, you are not an occupant of the Blood Character this time and won't get any favorable treatment. You'll be in danger this time with the bloodletter! Even so, you still have to ……" "You heard it all before, right? I know, you want to ask about my relationship with Shadow Moon right?" Dong Xie's expression was slightly embarrassed, then he nodded. "What is …… your relationship with Fu Ying Yue, who committed suicide in the first place?" Actually, Dong Xie guessed the answer to this question in his heart. Only, he still wished to have Mo Yuan say it himself. Afterwards, the two of them sat on the sofa in the lobby. Mo Yuan began to tell Dong Xie everything that happened back then, in detail. It wasn't until the person upstairs called to ask Dong Qi if Mo Yuan had arrived that Dong Qi woke up as if from a dream. "He's here, he'll come up later." After Dong Xie hung up the phone, he said, "We, all of us, speculated that Fu Ying Yue could be the evil spirit that appeared in this Bloodletter mission. This point screening, basically, was contracted by Xiao Zhi's fans to lock the venue, so it is likely ……" "That's the reason why I'm here. It's impossible to resurrect Shadow Moon, but even if she becomes an evil spirit, I'm still going to see her. Even if she has to take me to hell with her, I don't care, so we can be together forever." "Mo Yuan! Think carefully ah, if you die, your parents will be very sad ……" "My parents have each had their own families since the divorce, even if my death would break their hearts for a while, they would still be able to come out." "You can't say that! Mo Yuan, no matter what ……" "I've already decided." Mo Yuan's expression was unbelievably resolute, "Even if I will die, I have to go. If I miss this opportunity, I will never be able to be with Shadow Moon again. Moreover, maybe if I go, I might stop Shadow Moon from killing someone." The last sentence also made Dong Xie's heart flutter. Perhaps, this was indeed a …… path to life as well? He also saw …… that Mo Yuan came this time and simply did not want to go back alive. He is now …… completely bent on death!
