25: save3 The Blood-Stained Dusk
Lu Lele had never been this happy before.
It was like a child seeing a dream toy in a Christmas stocking. She was so happy she almost forgot herself.
This counted as a thorough mutual confession, right?
It absolutely counted as such.
Their mutual feelings were proven. The two hearts that liked each other no longer had any distance.
"It's just so good... it's really just so good!"
Lu Lele was so excited she even shed tears. She held Liu Lili's hand against her chest, revealing a sweet smile:
"Lili, let us go on an adventure to a new world together! Just the two of us!"
"Mm."
Liu Lili nodded, but she didn't look into Lu Lele's eyes. She only looked at her hand being tightly held by Lu Lele.
Lu Lele watched Liu Lili quietly. Her feelings brewed continuously, finally turning into an irrepressible palpitation.
"Hey, Lili..."
Lu Lele let go of Liu Lili's hand, but then cupped the latter's cheeks, her eyes blurry as she said:
"Let us do something interesting together?"
Liu Lili instinctively felt something was wrong, but she didn't resist. She just asked back:
"Lele, what do you want to do?"
"Make love."
Lu Lele answered without thinking, then kissed her without saying another word.
Liu Lili sighed and passively went along with it.
...
The preparation work was much easier than imagined.
Since Lu Lele didn't need to prepare items to restrain Liu Lili anymore, such as a large suitcase or sleeping pills, the preparation time was much faster.
She just needed to bring money, masks, hats, and Liu Lili. Choose a destination, and she could prepare to set off.
Lu Lele finally chose Black Rose City in the west of the White Lily Republic as her destination.
Although the security situation of that city wasn't as good as Tangerine City where Lu Lele lived, it wasn't terrible either.
Most crucially, inside Black Rose City were the largest slums of the White Lily Republic, or rather, it should be described more accurately as a lawless zone.
On local forums, Lu Lele saw many buildings no less grand than the city center of Tangerine City, bustling streets, and crowded people. Everything was there.
Of course, there was also enough darkness to make Lu Lele vigilant. Unclaimed corpses by the roadside, graffiti with violent slogans on walls, masked people showing off guns. These were all things common there.
For someone who wanted to hide themselves, that place was paradise. As long as they had money, living conditions wouldn't be bad.
However, Lu Lele knew clearly in her heart that a girl like her had to disguise herself well once she went there. She couldn't let others know her weakness. Otherwise, she would only be ruthlessly torn apart, not a shred remaining.
Thinking this way, Lu Lele did the preparations methodically and seriously. Liu Lili watched quietly from the side, showing no intention of disturbing Lu Lele.
All steps were completed by Lu Lele. Liu Lili didn't ask a single question from start to finish. She just watched from the sidelines.
Soon, Lu Lele finished the preparations.
"Lili, let us go."
Putting her small bag on her back, Lu Lele extended a hand to Liu Lili.
"Mm."
Liu Lili nodded and grabbed Lu Lele's hand, walking together toward the door.
For some unknown reason, Liu Lili's hand was trembling slightly. Lu Lele took it for granted that Lili was excited like her for the strange, fresh future life, so she didn't mind it much.
Finally, they left the gate of Lu Lele's house, then left the garden, truly arriving outside.
It was currently dusk. The gloomy, withered sunlight was burning the last of its life, and the evening glow was like blood staining the sky.
According to Lu Lele's plan, they would first get on a car waiting not far away. That car would take them to the train station.
However, Liu Lili suddenly shook off Lu Lele's hand.
"Lili, what are you doing?"
Lu Lele couldn't help but freeze for a moment. She wanted to hold her childhood friend's hand again.
As a result, she was shaken off again. To be precise, she was shaken off violently.
Lu Lele froze. She cast her gaze toward Liu Lili and discovered that the latter was also looking at her.
"Lele, I'm sorry. I lied to you."
Liu Lili took off her mask. On the cheeks that Lu Lele was obsessed with, a mocking expression was flowing out:
"I didn't expect that you were really this naive, Lele. Your little brain always brings me surprises again and again. This time is the same."
Lu Lele suddenly understood everything. Extreme anger made her almost lose control of herself, but she barely suppressed it in the end. Because, she wanted to know the reason.
"Lili, was everything before just you pretending? Then why didn't you take the chance to run away while bathing?"
Liu Lili snorted and said:
"Did you think I'm as dumb as you? I didn't know if everything that happened in the bathroom was actually Lele's trap. After all, as long as I was in your house, there was always the possibility of being controlled by you. It's only after getting outside that I am truly safe."
"Why? Lili, why did you lie to me?"
"Why? Lele, please, can you think carefully…"
Liu Lili revealed an expression of extreme loathing:
"…from the moment you kidnapped me, there was no longer a why."
"I cannot forgive you, Lele. I cannot forgive the fact that you kidnapped me. I cannot forgive you for trampling on my dignity and calling it love. I cannot forgive everything you did to me in these two days."
"But, you clearly said you loved me. You even said you would try it with me. Lili, you clearly said it..."
Lu Lele was gradually starting to be unable to control her emotions. She questioned Liu Lili loudly, nearing a breakdown.
"..."
"Perhaps I did love you before, but... but not anymore. Mm, definitely not anymore... The current me has regained freedom. I no longer need to love you."
Liu Lili turned her head away, repeating it a few times like self-hypnosis, her voice trembling slightly.
Afterwards, she shook her head and put on a cold face:
"Lele, you must have thought your speech just now was very moving, right?"
"You must have thought I was completely conquered by you and was willing to elope with you to a faraway place and live together in a new city."
"It's a pity that this was just your self-conquest."
"Lili..."
Why?
Why did it turn out like this?
The light in Lu Lele's eyes was completely lost.
Why did you have to lie to me?
"Fine, I admit I failed."
Lu Lele suddenly became calm for some unknown reason and said:
"Lili, your school bag is still at my house. I'll go get it for you. Let us have a clean break up."
Liu Lili was a bit puzzled, but she still nodded and said:
"Mm."
The person was already outside. Liu Lili felt she was safe, so she didn't think too much about it.
A few minutes later.
Lu Lele held Liu Lili's school bag and walked to Liu Lili's side, getting very close to her.
Then she suddenly threw the school bag to the side.
The dagger was revealed. In Lu Lele's hand, she gripped a sharp kitchen knife, her eyes filled with complete madness.
One stab, striking toward the neck of her beloved.
Taken completely by surprise, Liu Lili only had time to raise her hand to block instinctively. Her small arm was slashed with a large gash.
Liu Lili was directly stunned by the shock. She completely didn't expect that Lu Lele would actually attack her. The severe pain made her scream, and she forgot to run away for a moment.
And Lu Lele, who had completely lost her reason, didn't give Liu Lili a chance to react. She directly flew up with a kick and knocked Liu Lili to the ground.
Lu Lele then straddled her, picked up the sharp blade, and aimed it at Liu Lili's soft neck.
"No, Lele, no!"
Facing the childhood friend's pleading, Lu Lele stabbed down without any hesitation.
The liquid that sprayed out splashed onto Lu Lele's face. It was hot and sweet.
Just like Liu Lili's scent.
"Lili, why are you so disobedient?"
One stab.
"Hehe... hahahahahaha!!!!"
Another stab.
"Why! Why! Why!"
Another stab.
"Why did you lie to me!!"
Continuing.
"Why did you have to break your oath!"
She wouldn't stop. Until she finished venting.
"Why did you have to say you love me..."
Her face splashed with bright redness, Lu Lele giggled pathologically. Stab, another stab, until Liu Lili was completely unrecognizable, then she cupped the fragments of her childhood friend.
Then she kissed her deeply.
