Heartbeat Stops! The Death of Qin Xiaoyou!

Chu Yan's cold eyes stared at Qin Xiaoyou.

"I know even if you don't say it."

"I asked Captain An… she said you've been imagining Shadow is your brother Qin Feng and that you've been looking for a way to apologize to him."

"So, you wanted to activate an Epic BOSS to lure Shadow over just to see him?"

"But weren't you the one who took the initiative to sever ties with your brother?"

"Before the God Forsaken Game even arrived, I was advising you that there was no need to fall out with your brother over that matter!"

"But what did you say?"

"You said he only cared about controlling you and wasn't even family! You said unless he took the initiative to apologize to you, you wouldn't talk to him…"

"That's what you said back then, right?"

"Later, Xiaomei came from the Magic Capital to see me, and I also asked her to help divine your brother's whereabouts…"

"Actually, Xiaomei told me later that she encountered Shadow in the place she had previously divined, and it seemed Shadow had always been there. It's very likely he is your brother."

Qin Xiaoyou initially had no reaction upon hearing these words.

It wasn't until she realized that Chu Yan also seemed to know Shadow was Qin Feng that hope immediately surged within her again.

"You also know Shadow is my brother?"

Qin Xiaoyou became excited: "Find Shadow, tell him I'm waiting for him, and apologize to him for me… you know how I would apologize! Find Shadow, he can save your parents!"

"That's just a guess, it's not certain."

Chu Yan said coldly: "Besides, how could I contact Shadow? Even if Shadow really could save my parents, why would he help me? Even if there really is a way to rescue someone from Chaos, it would surely require a great price… otherwise, he would have solved it for the officials long ago."

"I don't think I can afford the price required for Shadow to take action…"

However, Qin Xiaoyou's words did give Chu Yan an idea.

She decided that no matter what price it took, she wanted to try and see if she could save her parents!

And currently, the only one who might be able to do that…

Was Shadow!

Of course, with her current status, wanting to contact Shadow was not that simple.

Fortunately, she did know 'Jia Xiaomei' in the Sky Vault Guild, so she could still give it a try.

"No matter what conditions Shadow proposes, I can…"

Chu Yan lightly bit her lip.

Then, looking at Qin Xiaoyou through the wall, Chu Yan left one final remark: "Though I don't know why you've ended up like this, I can't help you anymore. In your final moments, look out for yourself…"

After saying this, Chu Yan stood up and left.

"Wait, wait, leave me some lifespan first, fifty days… no, fifty hours, even fifty hours is fine!"

Qin Xiaoyou cried out.

But soon, the window on the wall was sealed again, and her voice was completely cut off.

And Chu Yan left without looking back!

…

Inside the prison cell.

Qin Xiaoyou slumped onto her wheelchair in despair.

Looking at the cold metal walls, it felt as if a boundless chill was sweeping toward her.

Her lifespan countdown seemed to be getting faster and faster.

Five hours left.

Her lifespan had only three minutes remaining.

She grew more and more anxious.

Her whole body felt like ants were crawling on it.

Chu Yan's arrival had originally given her hope, but in the end, it only left her with despair.

Even her best friend would no longer look after her!

Qin Xiaoyou's despair deepened.

She wasn't even dead yet, but her body had already begun to turn cold.

"Sob, sob…"

"Why…"

"Why did it turn out like this…"

"I clearly changed to a Hidden Class; I should have been living very well in an era like this."

"Could it be…"

"Without Qin Feng, I really can't do anything right?"

"From childhood to adulthood, it was always Qin Feng helping me…"

"Sob, sob. I was wrong. I was wrong."

Her hands, bound in shackles, began to beat against the metal wall.

"Qin Feng."

"Brother."

"Save me, save me!!"

She was frantic.

…

Just a few hundred meters away from the prison, at a Silver-grade Hideout protected by a defensive barrier, stood a three-story building.

Inside the building was a monitoring room.

Every one of the hundreds of cells in the prison was being monitored.

Because the prison was located in a Fierce Area with a hundred-fold lifespan flow rate, the monitoring site was in a Mild area a few hundred meters away to save the lifespan of the guards.

Three official personnel were in the monitoring room, checking the status of each cell.

Suddenly, an alarm went off in one of the cells.

"It's that Qin Xiaoyou again."

"She doesn't have much lifespan left, does she?"

"Let's hear what she has to say."

The three official personnel sneered, watching Qin Xiaoyou's cell while opening the communication line.

Qin Xiaoyou's weak voice came through: "I'm dying, can I have something to eat?"

One of the official personnel answered calmly: "We don't provide free food and drink here. You need to buy it with lifespan. Do you have any?"

Qin Xiaoyou: "…"

Through the monitor screen, Qin Xiaoyou could be seen looking a bit dazed.

This wasn't how she remembered things!

Isn't it said that one can have a good meal before Death?

Pity her; recently, she hadn't even had one good meal because she couldn't obtain any god-given books herself. She could only buy food from outside, where middlemen pocketed the price difference!

And because she had to save lifespan, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, looking quite pathetic.

She thought she could have a good meal before she died.

But as it turned out…

It still freaking cost lifespan?

Qin Xiaoyou fell into a dilemma!

"If I had known, I would have used my remaining lifespan to buy something delicious… sob."

"But even if I buy food, I won't have the life left to eat it…"

She grew more and more hopeless.

Her heart became more and more like dead ashes.

The three official personnel in the monitoring room ignored her until over a minute later.

They looked at Qin Xiaoyou's cell again.

They found her struggling in her wheelchair, having already fallen onto the cold floor of the cell. Her hands were still trying to push open the metal door, but her head had already slumped to the side.

As her lifespan completely drained away.

Her heartbeat…

Stopped!

Furthermore.

To the shock of the official personnel, not long after Qin Xiaoyou died.

Her body became somewhat translucent…

Then it actually turned into a mass of white light and completely dissipated from the cell!

…

—

[Player 'Little You' has entered the Judgment Land!]

—

When this system notification arrived, Qin Feng was in the restaurant of the Nether Soul Land, having a meal with Ghost Spirit.

Over in India, Qin Feng had 'captured' a total of over two hundred people into the Judgment Land before the other side reacted. Many experts had logged off one after another, causing Qin Feng to temporarily lose his targets.

Qin Feng was feeling a bit of a pity.

Unexpectedly…

Qin Xiaoyou had entered the Judgment Land!

"As long as she dies in reality, she will automatically be sent to the Judgment Land."

"So she's dead?"

Qin Feng didn't pay it much mind.

He'd finish his meal first and talk about it after.
