"Second Brother, let's go." Zang Xiaolian tugged Xiao Yebai to change direction.
But Xiao Yebai stood unmoving, both hands tightly gripping Luo Ke's neck, unwilling to let go. The expression on Luo Ke's face gradually stiffened, like a mask. Touching it again, it was clear that he no longer breathed.
"He's dead, Second Brother, we must leave immediately!" Zang Xiaolian shook Xiao Yebai's body hard.
Xiao Yebai snapped back to reality, releasing his hands from Luo Ke's corpse, but his footsteps continued forward. His stubbornness scared Zang Xiaolian. Zang Xiaolian spread his arms to hug Xiao Yebai's waist: "Second Brother—" The ceiling overhead had half collapsed, and the rumbling sound of the building above crashing down could be heard. The entire castle was fracturing. They could be buried alive by the collapsing earth at any moment.
"Second Brother, think of Sister-in-law, think of the child, don't you hear me, Second Brother?" Zang Xiaolian pleaded with a voice nearing sobs.
