"Hahaha—"
Watching his enemy die unwillingly, Bai Zihao laughed to the sky, filled with a sense of relief. It was worth it! He felt that he had already lived a fulfilling life!
But suddenly, he felt a strong dizziness in his head. When he looked again, he found that Mu An and Su Zhirou, who had previously been dead at his feet, were now standing not far from him. Meanwhile, his own clothes were soaked in glaring blood.
Whose blood was it? The intense pain from the wounds all over his body told him without a doubt. This was his own blood!
'What's going on? What exactly happened?'
'Why do I have so many deep wounds? Who did this?'
'And why are Mu An and Su Zhirou still alive?'
Bai Zihao was both shocked and furious. At this moment, too many questions swirled in his mind.
- "No matter how hard a simp tries, he's still a simp, except for Mu An, because he actually got the girl! Bai Zihao is pitiful; apart from self-harm, he probably can't find any sense of existence!"
- "Even if he self-harms, he won't have any sense of existence! If she's not his woman, she's bound to not care about his life or death! She'll just see it as a joke!"
- "What a misfortune! To live and die for a woman, I really don't know whether to say he's deep in love or that he's mentally ill! Being troubled by love, he might as well focus on making money! It's simply stupid!"
- "Don't die so quickly, the ambulance is on the way! If he dies at the entrance of our Qingchuan University, how can I dare to bring my girlfriend here next time?"
The whispers of the bystanders reached Bai Zihao's ears, almost making him spit blood. So, it was him stabbing himself just now?
On the other side, Mu An watched this scene with a smile. He felt he didn't even need to intervene much. Just the surrounding gossip could shatter Bai Zihao's resolve. The wounds he inflicted on himself would directly take his life!
Su Zhirou heard the discussions around her, especially when she heard the name 'Bai Zihao,' she mustered the courage to glance over. Upon seeing his ridiculous self-harm behavior, the girl made her own assessment.
"Clown."
Concise yet incredibly accurate. This was like stabbing someone several times without them realizing it. Adding fuel to the fire, making things worse, and kicking someone when they were down... it couldn't be more fitting!
"You... you all..."
Bai Zihao was so furious that he was about to explode, preparing to grab the knife again for one last fight. Even if he couldn't kill his enemy this time, inflicting some wounds would be good!
This thought was good. But unfortunately, the wounds on his body had bled too much, and he was already dizzy, his vision darkening, lacking even the strength to pick up the knife.
In the end, Bai Zihao unwillingly collapsed to the ground and fell into unconsciousness. In the depths of his mind, he felt his life force fading, his control over his senses being stripped away, and his eyelids growing heavier. It was like sinking into an endless deep sea, forever unwilling to wake up...
Mu An squinted his eyes, ready to witness the end of this reborn protagonist. But... with his profound cultivation, he seemed to sense something was off. He saw a semi-transparent entity slowly floating out from the corpse lying in the pool of blood.
And it looked almost identical to Bai Zihao!
'Could this be the legendary... soul?'
Mu An felt a sense of gravity in his heart. Because until now, the system had not issued the reward notification for the protagonist being killed. Did the other party have some other means?
…..
At this moment, Bai Zihao seemed unaware of what was happening. Until he looked at his 'body' lying on the ground, fear filled his eyes, and he struggled wildly with his hands, wanting to return.
Death is a terrifying thing, especially when one is forced to face it personally.
'No! I don't want to die like this!'
'I haven't earned enough money yet! I haven't built my business empire! I haven't become someone above others!'
'Most importantly, I haven't killed my enemies! I can't just die like this!'
But unfortunately.
No matter how hard Bai Zihao struggled, his soul was still gradually separating.
Despair... Fear... Anger...
A complex mix of emotions lingered in his mind.
"I'm not willing to accept this!!!"
As if hearing Bai Zihao's roar, a swirling light gate suddenly appeared in the sky.
This light gate seemed to be invisible to ordinary people, just like Bai Zihao's soul, and no one noticed anything unusual.
However, Mu An, as a powerful villain, naturally wouldn't miss this scene.
When faced with uncertainty,
He decisively used his identification ability.
[[Eye of Identification], activated!]
—————
[Gate of Rebirth]: It is rumored that this is a rebirth passage opened by the Heavenly Dao for certain fated children, allowing them to return to the past and start over.
—————
Mu An: ???
It can be played like this?
Mu An was shocked in his heart.
At the same time, he knew he couldn't just watch Bai Zihao enter that light gate.
Otherwise, what would all his previous efforts mean?
If this guy goes back with his current memories, who knows what changes might occur!
So, the safest solution was to make sure Bai Zihao stayed here completely.
Preferably in a state of soul scattering!
Truly, he needed to eliminate him before the other party could be reborn and awaken!
Mu An quickly scanned his abilities and items.
He found that apart from his terrifying strength, he had no means to counter the enemy on a soul level.
Suddenly, the man had a flash of inspiration and whispered in Su Zhirou's ear.
"Zhirou, let me borrow your luck!"
"What?"
The girl clearly didn't understand what this meant at first, her beautiful eyes filled with innocence and confusion.
Mu An then changed to a more direct way of speaking.
"I mean... Zhirou, kiss me!"
The man's deep yet magnetic voice constantly stimulated the girl's sensitive heart.
His warm breath was like the scorching evening breeze of summer, instantly reddening the sunset and making the little deer in her chest start to race.
Su Zhirou immediately blushed and nodded without hesitation.
"Mm!"
No matter... no matter how many people were here, so what?
Everything was just Mu An's brother's command!
As the most beloved little maid in a cosplay outfit, she naturally had to obey unconditionally!
Therefore...
The girl decisively stood on her tiptoes.
Under her delicate little black shoes, it seemed as if a height-increasing pad named love had been added.
This helped her ignore the gazes of others and bravely charge forward for love!
Meanwhile.
Bai Zihao looked up at the light gate in the sky, feeling something.
There was also a faint voice telling him that as long as he passed through this light gate, he could return to the past and everything could start anew.
Just as he was happy about this, he saw a scene that made his eyes want to bleed.
His corpse hadn't even cooled down, yet that pair of dog men and women had already started to act as if no one was around!
And it was an extremely passionate French kiss!
This was too much!
It was simply too much!
"Just wait! I haven't lost yet!"
"Wait until I go back to the past, and see how I turn the tide!"
"The woman I have my eyes on is destined to be mine! This time, I absolutely will not lose again!"
Bai Zihao clenched his fists, his eyes looking as if they wanted to devour someone, incredibly frightening.
Seemingly sensing something, Mu An's gaze turned towards him again.
This startled Bai Zihao, who thought his soul state had been discovered.
At the same time.
Mu An was enjoying the emotional rewards!
[The girl really likes your deep affection and tenderness, emotional fluctuation +35, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +9999]]
[As long as there is someone in love by your side, everyone else is just a decoration. The girl sincerely likes to do anything with you, emotional fluctuation +60, congratulations, you have received the rewards [Fortune +100], [Item: No Restrictions Card *1]!]
[To love only one person in a lifetime, that is the girl standing in front of you now. Love is as deep as the sea, unfathomable, unwavering until death, emotional fluctuation +99, congratulations, you have received the reward [Soul Destruction Needle]!]
—————
[Item: No Restrictions Card]: No restrictions, do as you please.
No matter what you do, you can directly ignore the high or low luck and eliminate the child of luck, or slaughter thousands of beings, etc., and you will be exempt from one punishment from the Heavenly Dao!
—————
[Soul Destruction Needle]: The ultimate weapon to attack the soul!
Once struck, the soul will scatter, never to enter reincarnation!
What a small villain (child of luck), you just wait and see if I stab you!
Limitation: Each use requires spending one million proficiency!
—————
Hearing about these emotional reward items, the man's eyes lit up.
Because what he wanted had finally been brushed out!
Of course, even if no useful items were brushed out, at the last moment when Bai Zihao was about to pass through the rebirth light gate, Mu An would not hesitate to expose his cultivation in front of everyone and use all means to directly eliminate him!
"Hehe, you two scoundrels just wait!"
"Once I start over, I will definitely torment you both severely!"
"What young master of the Tianmu Group, I will definitely play with your woman right in front of you!"
Looking at the light gate getting closer and closer, Bai Zihao's long-lost arrogance returned to him.
As long as he passed through, he could start anew.
The parents who jumped off the building, the woman who was taken away, the business empire that failed before it even started, stepping on the rich second generation to ruin the enemy's family... everything was still possible!
But...
"You probably will never have that chance!"
A man's mocking voice suddenly rang in Bai Zihao's ear.
This scared him greatly!
When he turned around suddenly, he could only vaguely see something flying towards him.
In the next moment.
Bai Zihao felt his world suddenly turn dark.
If someone were to observe closely at this moment, they would definitely notice a pinhole-sized wound suddenly appeared on his forehead.
It was this wound that caused Bai Zihao's gaze to quickly scatter.
The condensed soul body was also gradually dissipating like smoke!
Clearly, he was only one step away from that reincarnation light gate.
But this one step became a distance he could never cross in his lifetime!
'No martial ethics! How dare you sneak attack me!'
This was the last thought in Bai Zihao's mind.
But no one would care what he was thinking anymore.
From now on, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.
No one would care about a dead person's unwillingness, anger, hatred, or regret...
Mu An witnessed the loneliness of Bai Zihao, the reincarnated protagonist.
There was no explosive self-destruction, nor was there a resounding echo in the world.
Bai Zihao's soul dissipated silently; no one saw, no one knew, not entering reincarnation, completely losing his soul.
At the same time, the system's reward notification came.
[The reincarnated protagonist Bai Zihao has completely died, luck reduced to negative, soul scattered, not entering reincarnation!]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the [Super Gift Pack for Eradicating the Child of Luck*1]!]
[[Super Gift Pack for Eradicating the Child of Luck] has been automatically opened. Congratulations, you have received the rewards: [Fortune +3000], [Special Skill: Accompanying Cross], [Proficiency +3 million], [Complete Information on Bai Zihao's Knowledge of Future Business Development], [Money +100 billion]!]
Mu An's lips curled slightly.
For this, the man naturally felt grateful.
'Thanks to my buddy Bai Zihao for sending me a super gift pack after his death!'
What does it mean to burn oneself to illuminate others?
Bai Zihao is a living example!
Mu An would also like to call him—'A model for helping others in the new era of wish-fulfillment novels'!
"Brother Mu An, do you still... want more...?"
Su Zhirou's beautiful eyes were filled with affection as she gazed at her man, looking quite eager.
Completely unaware that just moments ago, a protagonist had scattered his soul beside her.
Of course, even if the girl knew, she probably wouldn't care at all.
Because at this moment, her eyes only had Mu An in them, leaving no room for other men!
"I..."
Mu An was about to say something.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that quite a few people had gathered nearby.
They were all taking out their phones to take pictures, not of the already deceased Bai Zihao, but of Mu An and Su Zhirou.
Compared to photographing a suspected mentally ill corpse, the onlookers definitely preferred to take beautiful photos of handsome men and pretty women.
They also speculated about the possible gossip between them.
Poor Bai Zihao, even in death, did not attract much attention.
At most, he would fleetingly appear in the news in some corner tomorrow.
One can only say that an ordinary person's life might just be like this—unnoticed and unimportant.
"Let's change places to talk!"
Mu An decisively took the girl and left this place of gossip.
Afterward, due to the appearance of a homicide, many police officers quickly arrived at the scene.
They reviewed the surveillance footage, combined it with the testimonies of witnesses present, the wounds on the deceased, and the murder weapon.
After investigating the deceased's background, including the fact that his parents had committed suicide and he was heavily in debt, the police quickly classified it as 'suicide' and closed the case.
