The Devil's Condition

He scratched his head and said with an awkward laugh, "That's true. Either way, I made a huge profit."

"No one can escape Han Qianqian's three-hour pursuit. Li Yang will probably be tortured to death by Han Qianqian," Li Tongtian said.

"Definitely. That bastard deserves it," Wu Yong said.

Just then, screams rang out from inside, and we were all invigorated.

"Li Yang is finished." I sat on the ground, my face alight with excitement.

Although we had been the ones to lure Li Yang inside, I felt no guilt whatsoever. After all, someone as vicious and evil as Li Yang deserved to suffer like this.

I made a phone call and summoned Lan Lele.

After learning what had happened, Lan Lele cheered. "That's wonderful! Han Qianqian isn't hunting us anymore, and Li Yang has been dealt with. I'll never have to worry about being harassed again."

I gently put my arm around her and said quietly, "Once this is over, let's be together."

"That won't do. You haven't even pursued me yet. I've always been the one chasing after you. Don't I deserve to save face?" Lan Lele turned her head, her face full of pride.

I smiled faintly and kissed her cheek. I was just about to speak.

But Li Tongtian spoke first. "After Li Yang is killed, we need to understand what might happen next."

"First, the worst-case scenario is that after Han Qianqian kills Li Yang, her resentment doesn't disappear. She continues hunting us down. Then we'll truly be finished."

"The second possibility is that Han Qianqian kills Li Yang, her resentment is resolved, and she stops hunting us. Or perhaps she simply disappears with the wind and stops killing people. That would be the best outcome."

"But there is also a third possibility. However, that's fundamentally impossible."

"Therefore, the only thing we need to do now is prepare to face Han Qianqian."

"Hopefully, she can resolve her resentment this time and reincarnate soon."

We all nodded. Just then, a figure approached. It was actually Teacher Ma. When he saw us, he froze for a moment before asking, "Why are you here?"

"What is Teacher Ma doing here?" I looked at him.

"Well, I came to take a look at the situation," Teacher Ma said awkwardly.

"Tell us what you're really here for," Li Tongtian said impatiently.

"All right, but don't go spreading this around." Teacher Ma looked at us and continued, "I asked the teachers nearby, and I suspect Han Qianqian was killed by Li Yang. So I've been following Li Yang these past few days."

"He suddenly came here at noon, so naturally, I followed him to see what was going on."

As he spoke, he suspiciously scanned the surroundings. "Where did Li Yang go?"

"He's inside. He should already have been killed by Han Qianqian," I said nonchalantly.

"If that's the case, then it's a good thing," Teacher Ma said.

"Of course it's a good thing. Let's wait a little longer," Li Tongtian said.

So Teacher Ma sat down with us as well. While smoking, he told us that he had only just arrived at the school and had not taught there for more than a few days before somehow ending up here. He said it was simply his bad luck.

"What do you teach?" I asked in surprise.

"Of course I teach mathematics." Teacher Ma spoke proudly. "I'm a Gold Medal Lecturer. You'll benefit immensely from attending my classes."

I rolled my eyes at him speechlessly and couldn't help saying, "If you're so impressive, how come the two people who were with you last time both died?"

"That's normal. I can't even guarantee that I'll survive Han Qianqian. Naturally, the same applies to everyone else," Teacher Ma said.

Soon, we had chatted for three hours. After that, the school gate opened on its own.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Teacher Ma. "All right. Let's take a look now. Hopefully, Han Qianqian won't hunt us anymore this time."

After saying that, I called out Han Qianqian's name, but even after shouting for quite some time, Han Qianqian still did not appear.

I sensed that something was wrong. Just then, a figure slowly walked out.

When we saw who it was, we were all stunned.

It was Li Yang.

He was completely unharmed, without even a scratch on him. He simply walked out calmly.

"How is that possible?" Li Tongtian stared at him in shock, utterly unable to believe it.

The others were the same. No one had ever imagined that Li Yang would walk out alive.

"Could Han Qianqian not be here today?" Lan Lele blurted out.

Li Yang glanced at her and smiled faintly. "How could she not be here? She's just as foolish as she was back then."

As he spoke, a figure appeared behind him. It was Han Qianqian.

But when I saw Han Qianqian, I was even more shocked. She looked utterly miserable.

Her body was covered in wounds, and her clothes were in tatters. Although she clutched a dagger in her hand, her neck had already been broken. Her head lolled to one side as she silently walked over.

Her eyes were fixed on Li Yang with venomous hatred, a level of hatred unlike anything I had ever seen before.

Li Yang, however, remained unmoved. He brushed the dust from his clothes and said lightly, "All right, that's enough for today."

With that, he slowly walked away. When he reached Lan Lele, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You should leave the man beside you. He can't protect you, but I can."
