At this moment, Liu Yue's face was pale and twisted, his body stiffly facing Liu You'er. The black pupils glimmered with a bloodthirsty light, no longer resembling the sunny, handsome boy he once was! This encounter pierced Liu You'er's heart with pain as she looked sadly at her brother, who was not related by blood yet felt closer than family. If it weren't for him, she might still be like an autistic patient, completely isolated in her own world, refusing to communicate with the outside, ultimately allowing her soul to decay and die. She had planned to find him right after leaving the supermarket, but who knew...
Hearing the call, he tilted his head slightly to one side, appearing somewhat puzzled. But in the next second, he opened his mouth wide and roared as he lunged toward Liu You'er. Having practiced Judo since childhood and having advanced a level, this attack was not difficult for her to evade; she merely turned slightly to avoid it. However, her brows furrowed as she thought, "What's going on? Aren't zombies supposed to avoid attacking their own kind? Is it because of evolution?" Looking at the equally agile Lin Yue, her mind raced. "It seems he has evolved too, but why is he attacking me? And why have I retained my human rationality while he has completely lost his?"
Seeing his attack miss, Liu Yue turned again to continue his assault. The moment he saw Liu You'er, the feeling of brutality within him intensified. He grabbed a fallen bumper from the ground and swung it fiercely toward Liu You'er. Lost in thought, she accidentally took a hit to the chest and coughed up a mouthful of black blood. However, due to the lack of pain sensation, she felt no discomfort—only deep sorrow because she could never bring herself to harm her brother. On Liu Yue's side, despite hitting her, he felt none of the usual thrill from killing a fellow zombie to acquire their corpse poison; instead, an inexplicable new sensation surged through him.
Having lost his human memories, he did not understand that this feeling was called "sadness." Unable to comprehend this unpleasant sensation, he decided not to kill this strangely appearing zombie for now but rather control her until he no longer felt this odd emotion before finishing her off. After all, his ability was mental control, allowing other zombies to obediently come forward for him to kill.
Watching Liu You'er get up and prepare to flee, he revealed a sunny smile. For some reason, he only remembered this expression and could only make this expression; however, in this situation, it felt utterly chilling! Just as Liu You'er was about to escape, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and experienced the same sensation she had in the cold storage last time. The pain forced her down onto the ground as she struggled to lift her head and look at Liu Yue, only to see his lips curled into a sunny smile...
Liu You'er's world turned pitch black; she felt as if she were floating in the air with no strength left and no desire to struggle. She didn't know how long she drifted until a faint light appeared before her. Looking toward the light revealed a white SUV speeding along a winding mountain road. Inside sat a family of four enjoying each other's company, their faces radiating happiness. The girl in the blue sailor suit sitting in the front passenger seat chattered excitedly with her father, practically bouncing with joy. In the back seat sat what appeared to be their mother talking with an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who looked disdainfully at his sister while she raised her fist in protest against him. Their mother smiled lovingly at both children.
However, seeing this scene filled Liu You'er with terror as it reminded her of that vacation during her third year of middle school when they went to watch a meteor shower at the mountaintop—a rare event that she couldn't afford to miss due to her passion for stargazing. As she witnessed this scene unfold before her eyes, she began to struggle violently and shouted desperately: "Stop the car! Stop the car!!!" hoping to prevent the impending tragedy. Yet those inside showed no reaction; they continued laughing and chatting as if nothing were wrong. The girl even unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up ready to tease her brother when suddenly an oncoming truck caused their father to instinctively jerk the steering wheel hard left. The immense force sent her flying out of the window just as their SUV crashed through the guardrail and plummeted downwards. In that moment before losing consciousness, there was an explosion.
The scene slowly shifted again; now it transformed into a study room where a girl with thick bandages on one arm and a leg in plaster stood numbly before a bookshelf. Beside her lay a cane quietly on the floor scattered with shredded paper fragments beyond recognition. In her hand was a book titled "Stargazing," which she tore apart vigorously; using too much strength caused even the originally white bandages on her arm to turn red. After tearing apart all the pages of the book, she seemed to ponder for a moment before stiffly bending down to pick up that cane and slowly walked toward an astronomical telescope in the bedroom before raising it high...
At this point, Liu You'er felt herself on the verge of collapse; curling up while holding her head tightly in despair made her wish not to see these scenes anymore—but it was not as she wished. In her ears rang out malicious words: "It's this jinx! I heard that because of her, her family is dead!"
"Really?" A voice filled with glee chimed in. "How terrifying! I never would have guessed! Acting all high and mighty every day like nobody matters—so arrogant just because she's pretty! Look! What goes around comes around; it's only right that her whole family dies!"
"Exactly! Those boys are really sick; they surround themselves with such trash every day."
In the back row, a girl dressed in school uniform glanced over at these two girls who were dressed flamboyantly and excitedly discussing things while wearing heavy makeup. This schoolgirl had high ponytails with fair skin and large eyes paired with an adorable nose that made her features appear delicate; her full lips curled slightly upward gave off an impression of being like a doll—except that her gaze was too cold as if looking at two corpses...
At this moment, Liu You'er felt completely shattered inside; she thought: "Let it be then; I'm so tired—I don't want to continue anymore; nothing matters now; I'm really so exhausted—Dad, Mom, little brother... wait for me..."
