Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: Had Enough of Living
Cherry held up the knife, staring at them blankly, the smile frozen at the corner of her mouth.
“I don’t use a knife for murder… I just wanted to tell you that.” She muttered with a laugh, “What’s wrong with you?… So strange…”
Gavin saw the confusion on her face, and in an instant, his entire chest was filled with regret.
He was blinded by his inner demons, afraid of Nathaniel Sumrs’ place in her heart! At the brink of life and death, he still couldn’t let go! Couldn’t completely trust her!
The witch suddenly extended her tentacles! They wrapped around Cherry’s knife-holding arm and thrust straight at Gavin!
Gavin quickly dodged, grabbing Cherry’s other arm in the process, pressing her down onto the ground!
anwhile, Aria Jackson and the other SWAT team mbers raised their guns to open fire!
The gunshots were deafening, and the witch, along with Moissanite’s body, shuddered violently under the barrage! It let out a harrowing scream—its voice alternated between young and old, male and female, and at tis turned into Ruth Frazer’s voice!
“Run!” Aria shouted.
The personnel hurriedly evacuated, with the last one activating the detonator—a countdown of 30 seconds!
Gavin pulled Cherry to run outside; the sticky black sludge hit by the gunfire was everywhere, making the ground slippery. Finally, they burst through the doors, but before they could catch their breath, the witch’s tentacles snagged Cherry from behind!
“Cherry!!!”
Gavin’s face changed dramatically, turning to rush over, with his arms wrapped tightly around Cherry’s waist, preventing the tentacles from dragging her upstairs!
The protective suit, ant to shield her, was now a burden, hindering Cherry from exerting her full strength.
She struggled to shed the suit, wishing she could at least expose her head and face. More tentacles appeared, ensnaring Gavin along with her!
Both fell into the mire!
…The stinking, sticky, wet, and cold creature, even riddled with holes, relentlessly sought to claim their lives.
The countdown was nearing its end.
Gavin struggled several tis to stand up but, surrounded by the thick muck, was powerless to rise, his heart heavy with sorrow. Even if the witch ceased its assault, there wasn’t enough ti for the two of them to escape peril.
A life filled with upheavals, never did he think he would end up like this.
Gavin looked at the girl before him, she had already removed the protective suit, her skin pale and lips red, as lively as ever, and the pain in his heart softened sowhat.
Ultimately dood, at least it could be considered a heroic end.
Moreover… being with her wasn’t too dreary.
Gavin sighed lightly, holding her in his arms, his lips touching her forehead, softly saying, “Cherry, I love you.”
Cherry looked at him in astonishnt.
“No, you don’t love .” She shook her head, a calm smile on her face, “No one loves .”
She stood up, no longer looking at Gavin’s face, her long hair fluttering in the wind, all malevolent entities dispersed from her surroundings!—In the na of the evil god, commanding the hundred ghosts!
Countless spirits gathered, like swathes of black mist sweeping into the corpses!
Groan groan…
Groan groan…
The corpses in the mire, possessed by the hundred ghosts, stood up grotesquely and twisted, inching closer together.
Gavin gradually lost sight of Cherry.
The corpses in front of him multiplied, overlapping again and again, densely packed… His view blocked, the world shrouded, leaving him blind…
Wanting to call out her na, but tasting the salty tallic flavor in his mouth.
In the darkness flickered faint firelight.
Simultaneously, he finally let out a desperate scream: “Cherry!!!—”
The massive explosion resonated through his eardrums, a ringing sound, as consciousness finally faded away…
As his body tore apart, Cherry finally understood the true aning of the taoist priest’s words, realizing she truly couldn’t keep the black cat for a lifeti. It’s not that it lived too long, but she hadn’t lived long enough.
She closed her eyes, thinking: It’s okay, I’ve already… lived long enough…
…
At the start, I bled my way into this world;
And later, I bled my way out of it;
Leaving this mortal realm, finally forgetting that love and hate…
