Total Death

The roof collapsed, and the sea of fire spread relentlessly. The blue-haired girl knelt beside Sui Ming’s body, holding his arm in her hands, as cracks continuously emerged in space.

Collapsing stones fell from the sky, landing beside the three.

Observing the black gas emanating from the spatial cracks, Hyster couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “It seems this memory space is about to collapse.”

“Indeed,” the Crow echoed.

Hyster had initially deeply disliked this intruder who had trespassed into the memory space without permission, but unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.

He simply couldn’t defeat this Crow… even within his own domain.

Thus, seeing that the Crow harbored no ill intentions, he allowed her to stay, but his gaze remained fixed on the Crow, fearing she might disrupt Bai Luoxia’s memories.

Although, the amiable Miss Crow herself had no intention of stirring up trouble.

“Do you think he is capable?”

As the guardian of Bai Luoxia’s memory space, he was all too aware of the girl’s lingering knot in her heart.

If it weren’t for that person in her memories, there would be no way to untie it.

But seeing the Crow’s confident smile, Hyster was startled: “Could it be that…”

“It’s just as you think,” the Crow said with a faint smile.

“I have great confidence in my contractor.”

“Why! Why do all of you! Why do you all abandon me! Why!”

Within the pitch-black, void-like space, a blue-haired girl wept helplessly, her tears forming puddles.

“Tell me! Sui Ming!”

In front, Sui Ming, who now knew everything, stood before the girl, silent.

“First, you intruded into my life without permission, walked into my heart, and then cruelly left! Leaving behind only ruins… How could you be so cruel!”

“For these three years, the loneliness I’ve endured, the regret I’ve suffered… I hate… I hate myself for not being able to kill you then!”

“Are you satisfied, Sui Ming? After doing all this, did you ever imagine, in your sweet dreams, that the girl you made despair might be crying in agony beneath some quilt!”

“I hate you! Sui Ming, I regret not killing you with my own hands back then!”

After saying all this, the girl collapsed from exhaustion, her small body trembling uncontrollably.

“Can’t you just… die? Get out of my heart…”

“Alright, I can.”

Sui Ming extended his hand, and then, to the girl’s horror, he abruptly pierced his own heart!

Blood splattered, and a vibrant, pulsating heart was held in Sui Ming’s hand. Bai Luoxia could even hear its clear beats.

“You!”

“Cough! Cough cough… I’m sorry… for leaving you alone for so long.”

“I’m sorry… I was an incompetent teacher… and an incompetent friend…”

The young boy’s body slowly collapsed to the ground, lifelessly dying on the floor. That vivid heart rolled to Bai Luoxia’s feet.

“I… I…”

For some reason, a tear involuntarily streamed down her cheek. Faced with Sui Ming’s death, the girl stood stunned, sobbing uncontrollably.

The once lively and cheerful youth was now gone, only a cold corpse lay brutally dead before her.

Merely for her absurd request.

“Hey! Sui Ming! Hey! Wake up!”

She scrambled over clumsily, shaking Sui Ming, who no longer had any breath.

But the dead cannot be revived; this is an unchangeable truth.

At this moment, endless regret echoed in her mind, piercing her nerves every second.

“Just say something, please… I beg you… I…”

“Actually, you didn’t want him to die, did you?” a childish voice spoke from behind the girl.

It was an identical version of herself, only younger.

The younger Bai Luoxia bent over, looking down at the tear-stained Bai Luoxia, and continued: “The pain he endured for you was no less than yours.”

“Do you really think someone can so casually discard three whole years of friendship?”

“He was never a cold-blooded person; his blood is warmer than anything else in this world.”

“You killed him with your own hands, Bai Luoxia.”

“Regarding Hyster, he merely did the right thing. For you, he willingly became a criminal who murdered royalty.”

“You enjoyed his meticulous care, yet how did you treat him?”

“And you, merely for these small reasons, put him to death. How pathetic, I am.”

“Pathetic? Regretful?” The girl picked up the still-beating heart from the ground and placed it in Bai Luoxia’s hand.

“Please, don’t let him down. Everything he did was for you.”

“I… regret… I regret why I never understood him, I regret his departure… I…”

“Alright, I understand. Then… it seems they still need your help outside.” The girl looked beyond the memory bubble, her eyes filled with boundless disgust.

“But… I… simply cannot… defeat him…”

“His power… is beyond my match… I am.”

“Are you afraid, Bai Luoxia?”

“He taught you all his skills without reservation. Now that your knot is untied, there’s no reason why you can’t defeat that monster.”

“But… his ability is far too eerie…”

“When did you become so weak, Bai Luoxia!” the girl sternly rebuked.

“How could my successor be so feeble? Is this what this experience taught you? To give up? To evade?”

“Or does his death mean nothing to you, and everything he did was merely for his own self-gratification?”

“No… it’s not like that.”

“Even if it’s an apostle from the abyss? Even if it’s a god, I will make them leave something behind before they go!”

“In the name of order, sweep away chaos!”

“Excellent, this is the state I wanted.”

“However, mere passion is far from enough,” the girl said mysteriously.

“Don’t forget about me,” the young Bai Luoxia whispered in the girl’s ear, standing on tiptoes, like a mischievous little sprite.

“I, the authority of order—The Mark Scale, acknowledge you.”

“Only you are the most suitable existence for me!”

“Let us…”

“Unleash the wrath of order anew!”

In an instant, the girl’s figure transformed into countless pale blue particles.

A cerulean longsword appeared in the girl’s hand.

The longsword was entirely cerulean, its blade composed of endlessly profound silver-white patterns, with pale blue chains wrapped around its hilt. Above the grip, two large characters were clearly inscribed—”铭刻” (Mark/Engrave).

“Please engrave all that he sacrificed for you.”

Gently laying Sui Ming’s remains to rest, the longsword in Bai Luoxia’s hand emitted an extraordinarily dazzling glow. Infinite hatred erupted from her firm body.

“Next, it’s time for reckoning.”
