Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#246 - Chapter 246 Xiang Nanzhi's whereabouts

Everything that had happened before kept flashing before Li Chenqiu's eyes, like a loop on repeat.

Li Chenqiu's prediction was correct. Zhou Hai was indeed distracted by that lighter. If Xiang Nanzhi had seized that opportunity, his plan would have succeeded, but he forgot one thing.

Protecting him, that was the task of the Dao Protector, and it was also what Xiang Nanzhi had to do…

Li Chenqiu slowly lowered his arm, supporting his forehead with one hand, his fingers exerting slight force, his skin pinched together, with faint traces of blood seeping out.

What should he do now?

What did he have to do?

What could he do?

A deep sense of powerlessness engulfed Li Chenqiu like the sea, and a sharp tinnitus squeezed into his brain, like needles pricking at his already weak nerves.

Li Chenqiu's eyes gradually lost focus, and shadows appeared before him.

"I can't fall here…"

Li Chenqiu gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging, and he braced himself on the ground with both hands, trying to stand up.

But excessive blood loss had already made Li Chenqiu weak, this body was too poor, and willpower could not suppress the physiological fatigue.

Li Chenqiu swayed, and before he could stand up, everything in front of him tilted uncontrollably to the other side.

Bang!

Into darkness.

At this moment, everyone noticed Li Chenqiu lying on the ground.

When they saw Li Chenqiu's miserable appearance, everyone took a step back in horror.

The pungent smell of gasoline mixed with the smell of blood spread out at this moment, causing everyone to cover their mouths and noses, looking at Li Chenqiu with disgust.

"This… what's going on?"

"White hair… is that Jiang Huaijin?"

"How did he become like this?"

The onlookers were horrified. Although they could see that Li Chenqiu's condition was very bad, no one stepped forward.

"Get out of the way!"

An urgent voice came from the outside, mixed with a burst of chaotic footsteps.

The selected participants surrounding Li Chenqiu immediately retreated towards the two people who had arrived, making way for a passage.

Zhu Yuan took the lead and came to Li Chenqiu's side.

"This…"

Zhu Yuan's breath stagnated, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He hurriedly raised his hand and shouted at the person behind him without looking back: "Quick! Call a doctor!"

……

……

In a daze, Li Chenqiu felt like a small boat, sailing smoothly on the sea.

The sea breeze was very strong, whistling, and faint sounds could be heard from the wind.

"Has the fact that Zhou Hai is a God-forsaken been discovered?"

"Don't worry, Father, no one knows except for the two children."

"Well, pay more attention to this matter, and make sure that nothing goes wrong. If other tribes know that we have accepted a God-forsaken, you know the consequences!"

"No one will know. The people on that street were basically killed by that guy named Xiang Nanzhi, and I have cleaned up the omissions."

……

"Doctor, is he okay?"

"The situation is not optimistic. Although he is temporarily out of danger, he may never wake up…"

"Just make sure he doesn't die."

……

"Brother, if this kid wakes up, what should we do with him?"

"Let's just kill him now. I don't think this kid will listen to us obediently even if he wakes up."

"If we kill him, we won't get anything. Let's keep him. After all, it's the god's will."

"Brother, this kid is a time bomb. Why keep him? You wouldn't still plan to let him marry into the tribe and rely on children and family to make him take root here, would you?"

"Can't I?"

"Hehehe, anyway, I won't let my granddaughter marry such a person."

"I don't want to either. Since you want to do this, Brother, just marry Shifan to him!"

"You guys, did I say let him marry your granddaughter?"

"Brother, what do you mean by that? You wouldn't really want to marry Shifan to this little beast, would you?!"

"If he really wakes up, I'll adopt a collateral female doll as my goddaughter and marry her to this kid."

……

The wind and waves on the sea became stronger and stronger, and Li Chenqiu gradually couldn't hear anything.

The small boat was like a flat boat, swaying, and could be overturned by the waves at any time.

Whoosh—

Waves tens of meters high grabbed towards the small boat like magic claws.

Li Chenqiu's pupils shrank, and before he could react, he fell into the sea. The biting cold penetrated from his pores and spread to his limbs, bones, and nerve networks…

A series of bubbles emerged from Li Chenqiu's mouth and floated towards the increasingly dark sea.

Li Chenqiu wanted to struggle, but his body was too heavy, like it was filled with lead, and even moving was a luxury.

"Am I going to die…"

Li Chenqiu's eyes dimmed, and he raised his arm as if trying to grab the increasingly dim light, but no matter how tightly his fingers were clenched, the light would always slip away and become farther and farther away.

"It's good to die."

Li Chenqiu smiled and the eyelids that were piled together slowly stretched downwards.

Just as Li Chenqiu was about to close his eyes, his calm eyes suddenly trembled, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had thought of something, realized something.

Die?

What am I thinking?

There are still unfinished things in the world, and people to worry about, how can I just die like this, what a joke!?

"I… I can't die yet… I can't die yet!"

Li Chenqiu, who was lying on the hospital bed, widened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling above his head, panting heavily.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chenqiu slowly regained his senses.

This was a room without windows. The walls were unpainted cement walls. An old tungsten filament lamp hung above Li Chenqiu's head, flickering.

Bang!

Li Chenqiu subconsciously tugged at his arm, but could only move it slightly.

Turning his head to look, he realized that his arm was locked to the bed frame with handcuffs, or rather, all four limbs were locked.

Li Chenqiu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, pulling hard to the side.

Bang!

The handcuffs were tightened, but they were not broken.

Li Chenqiu frowned and turned his head to look in the direction of the door: "Is there anyone there?"

No one responded.

Li Chenqiu closed his eyes, lay back on the bed, and recalled the words in his dream.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the door, from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer.

Li Chenqiu opened his eyes and looked calmly at the iron door.

Click—

The iron door was opened from the outside, and Zhu Yuan, wearing a silk shirt, slowly walked into the room, looking at Li Chenqiu kindly: "I thought you would wake up, but I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."

Li Chenqiu's eyes were slightly cold: "Where is Xiang Nanzhi?"

"Xiang Nanzhi?" Zhu Yuan repeated with some confusion.

Li Chenqiu added: "The God-forsaken who was with me."

Zhu Yuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes, I was wondering why the name sounded so familiar."
