Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Isn’t it good to be alive, why seek death?
Lu Qianrou knew that the Lu Family’s underground wine cellar had a direct passage leading to the back gate, initially built for the convenience of transporting wine.
That is to say, after killing Lu Sheng, she could sneakily take Lu Sheng out through this passage without anyone noticing given the late hour.
The next day, when the cellar door was opened and the passage entrance found ajar, everyone would naturally assume Lu Sheng had fled through the passage to the outside.
Thus, it’s conceivable that all sorts of misfortunes could befall a young girl wandering alone late at night.
After all, the dead cannot come back to plead their case.
Lu Qianrou felt that her plan was brilliant; she even wanted to applaud her own cleverness.
A cold smirk of sure victory curled up at the corner of her mouth as Lu Qianrou bent over, pressing the towel hard against Sheng’s nose and mouth.
After a few silent seconds, the unconscious girl instinctively twitched from the sensation of suffocation.
Lu Qianrou immediately pressed down even harder with the towel, determined to smother her completely until the girl’s body ceased all movement, at which point Lu Qianrou took a deep breath, removed the towel, and checked the girl’s breathing.
No breath!
Lu Sheng was dead!
The Lu Sheng she despised so greatly was finally dead!
Lu Qianrou’s eyes shone brightly, feeling a rush of gratification as if a great revenge had been achieved. It felt as if Lu Sheng’s death had erased all her previous frustrations and humiliations, and now what awaited her would be glory.
All that remained was to dispose of the body, and it would all be over.
Lu Qianrou slipped her hands under Lu Sheng’s ribs and, with some difficulty, dragged her body into the passage. It took her about five minutes to drag her to the outside of Lu Family’s back gate.
The girl’s "corpse" lay quietly on the lawn, her face ghastly pale under the moonlight. Lu Qianrou took out a sack she had prepared, stuffing Lu Sheng’s entire body into it.
Then she took out her phone, using a disposable SIM card, and sent her current location to a "Cleaner" she had contacted previously on the Dark Web.
[Specific location below, come pick up ASAP, deliver to the junkyard.]
This "goods", naturally referred to Lu Sheng.
And this junkyard was referring to Chaotic Burial Mound.
After a few minutes, Lu Qianrou who was hiding behind some bushes saw a short man arrive dressed in a black raincoat and boots, wearing a black hat and mask.
His movements appeared quite proficient as he immediately tossed the sack containing Lu Sheng onto a tricycle marked [Trash Recycling] and then drove off.
As the man and the tricycle disappeared from sight, Lu Qianrou also let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, it was over!
She would return and dispose of the SIM card and the towel; Lu Sheng would be regarded as missing.
Even if the police found her body later, they wouldn’t be able to trace it back to her.
A perfect crime.
No, how could this be a crime? People as odious as Lu Sheng simply shouldn’t exist in this world!
As Lu Qianrou returned to her room to tidy everything up, the raincoat man drove the tricycle to the outskirts, to the Chaotic Burial Mound.
The man got out of the vehicle, casually tossed the sack onto an unmarked, grass-overgrown grave, and then left briskly.
And at this moment, Lu Sheng inside the sack was still motionless.
Lu Sheng usually kept her Soul Power retracted, only releasing it when necessary. Therefore, when Lu Qianrou ambushed her previously, she was in a wholly human bodily state, which led to her being knocked unconscious.
Human bodies are too frail, and waking up from unconsciousness takes time. Her body in the cellar was smothered into unconsciousness by Lu Qianrou with a towel, causing Lu Sheng to also fall deeply asleep.
In the silent midnight outdoors of the Chaotic Burial Mound, overgrown with weeds from numerous desolate graves, the moonlit tree shadows swayed in the wind, adding an eerie touch.
After an indefinite period, a "meow" of a cat broke the silence.
A small black cat suddenly appeared, its fur slightly bristled, and its green round eyes flashing sharply.
It leaped next to the sack, its claws suddenly turning exceedingly sharp.
In quick work, it tore a large gash in the sack, revealing the girl inside with her eyes closed and her face devoid of any color.
The black cat’s pupils shrank slightly, and in the next second, something that could overturn human cognition occurred. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Under the bright moonlight, the curled-up black cat transformed into a naked young man within a few seconds.
The young man had ink-black hair that reached his waist, his skin pale and cold; his dark green eyes gleamed like glinting glaze in the night, and his features were more beautiful than that of humans.
Although he transformed into human form, his behavior still resembled that of a cat.
He lay beside the girl and rubbed his head against her face. Then he lifted his head, his sharp little fangs aiming at the girl’s shoulder, and bit down.
It seemed as if he was transferring some kind of power, or perhaps using pain to awaken the girl.
This lasted for about ten seconds.
The young man seemed to have exhausted his limited strength, and his breathing became unsteady. After a while, he transformed back into a cat and lazily curled up beside the girl.
But soon, the girl in the darkness suddenly opened her eyes.
"...Black Bean?" Lu Sheng gasped sharply, sat up, and picked up the lifeless little black cat beside her, "...Did you save me?"
Lu Sheng’s memory still lingered on the moment when Lu Qianrou hit her head with a stone.
Restricted by the human body, a severe blow to this body meant she would also lose consciousness.
But in her coma, she vaguely heard Lu Qianrou’s voice, that suffocating feeling of being smothered, which even now lingered on.
It was Lu Qianrou who had knocked her out and smothered her, causing her asphyxiation, and brought her to this place.
Lu Sheng looked around; the countless desolate graves of Chaotic Burial Mound made her gaze turn icier than ever before.
Lu Qianrou.
What a Lu Qianrou.
Daring and ruthless beyond her imagination.
Black Bean in her arms looked wilted, as if extremely tired, without even the energy to meow.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and gently rubbed Black Bean’s drooping little head.
Ten years ago, when she had just been reborn into Bai Qiang’s body, she encountered a dying thin kitten in an alley. At that time, she bent down and gave half of her Soul Power to the kitten, reviving it.
And now, it must have been Black Bean who, by biting her shoulder, transferred Soul Power back to her, thus reviving her.
Lu Sheng, holding Black Bean, stood up from the ground, her expression colder.
One o’clock in the morning, Lu Qianrou’s room.
Although there was a piano competition the next day and she needed to avoid staying up late to maintain her skin in top condition for the camera.
Yet, the thought of her standing on the championship podium tomorrow, cheered by everyone and the whole internet, excited Lu Qianrou so much she couldn’t sleep.
However, the next second, it seemed she suddenly heard a noise at her door.
"Who..."
Before she could finish saying "who is it," Lu Qianrou felt a chill at the front of her neck.
In the pitch-black darkness, a cold hand suddenly appeared beside her bed and harshly grasped her neck, causing her pupils to constrict instantly.
"Mmph, mmph!!"
"Mmph!! Mmph!!"
Instinctively, Lu Qianrou struggled frantically, but the grip of the hand was so strong, as if to strangle her to death, she couldn’t even utter a complete syllable.
Stronger and stronger!
She couldn’t breathe!!
Lu Qianrou only heard a voice of extreme coldness suddenly ringing beside her ear, the icy breath of death spraying on her ear.
"...Isn’t it good to be alive? Why seek death, hmm?"
