Yan Xiao was a doctor, so his conclusion could hardly be wrong.
In fact, anyone who saw Xu Yi's current condition would not have thought he was still alive.
The Nuo Mask's spikes had gone far too deep. They had penetrated far enough to destroy Xu Yi's brain. Xu Yi had died the moment the three minutes were up.
The moment those three minutes were up and the mask extended its spikes, his death had already been sealed.
The only reason he had still been alive and able to move after three minutes was the mask. It had been turning him into a ghost.
Zhong Xueran seemed to have realized this too. She lowered her head to look at the black Nuo Mask in her hands, and an extreme idea surfaced in her mind.
Thunder roared outside the car window. Her hands trembled slightly as she lifted the Nuo Mask.
"That isn't living."
Yan Xiao suddenly spoke as he drove.
Zhong Xueran jerked her head up to look at him. "But... at least he could still exist in this world!"
Yan Xiao glanced at her through the rearview mirror again and stepped on the brake.
"Get out," Yan Xiao said.
"No!" Zhong Xueran refused.
Expressionless, Yan Xiao pulled over, got out, walked to the back seat, opened the door, yanked Zhong Xueran out, and threw her onto the street, all in one smooth motion.
"His game is over. Go do what you should be doing."
Once Yan Xiao got back into the car, he immediately locked the doors.
He looked at Zhong Xueran standing in the rain and said, "Stop living the way you did before. He wasn't saving you. He was saving himself."
With that, Yan Xiao gave Zhong Xueran no chance to respond. He stepped on the accelerator
