BXBX NOVEL Chapter 371 Goodbye 6
She was gone now. That was the only notion that kept passing through Virus’ head. Repeating itself over and over again.
And that notion itself was followed by the lucid memories of Hu Yuexin herself.
Their first meeting at the entrance of the hotel itself...
Their first kiss...
The time he went running into the middle of nowhere in order to save her...
The time she had narrated the tragic story of her life and her son...
The time she cried her heart out after hearing he was leaving...
Everything simply flashed in front of Virus’ eyes as he experienced this strange feeling of loss; a type of feeling he didn’t think he would experience over the loss of Hu Yuexin.
But he was. And that pained him.
______________
MINUTES BEFORE
After watching Virus leave, the Chinese beauty was now once again serving different rooms of the hotel. However, all that was occupying her mind was Virus himself.
’He must be close to the airport already, right?’ She pondered to herself while wearing a blank expression.
’Will he really come back? Or did he say those words just to comfort me?’
Different lines were going through her head when abruptly, the ground started to quake and shake.
Rumble~
"Ahh, what’s going on?!" Shrieked the guest Hu Yuexin was serving at the moment. Both of them were terrified.
"I-I think... it’s an earthquake! Let’s leave to the lobby quickly!" Said Hu Yuexin out loud, her own face long gone pale by now.
...
Soon, just as they were about to reach the lobby, a terrifying howl was heard.
ROOAR~
This instantly sent intense shivers down to Hu Yuexin’s spine. She was greatly confused while not understanding what exactly was happening.
Notwithstanding, finally arriving at the lobby, she rushed at the already gathered crowd before asking the receptionist who she was familiar with, "Lian Tai, what’s going on? Why doesn’t the quivers stop?"
"H-Hu Yuexin! A g-gigantic monster is wreaking havoc everywhere outside! We need to remain inside the building until the Guardians deal with it!" Trembling all over, the receptionist replied before also adding, "They say the monster’s already destroyed a few buildings! Damn it!"
PANG~
Rumble~
"Ahhhhh..." It was at this time when another round of intense shaking was felt by everyone as various people started screaming in fear.
"I-I think another establishment had been just brought down to the ground... damn it! Hope it doesn’t come our way." Stated the receptionist who Hu Yuexin had just addressed as Lian Tai.
"W-we need to take cover somewhere... just in case!" Understanding the gravity of the situation, Hu Yuexin anxiously started looking everywhere trying to find some kind of shelter that would possibly protect her in case something fell on her.
’I can’t die here! No matter what... I can’t die yet... my son... there’s my son! I need to protect my son at all costs!’ As this notion was screaming within her, she searched all around herself warily. She was indeed extremely disturbed by everything happening around her.
Some time passed when finally, the Chinese beauty found a rather decent shield to take cover underneath. Therefore, showing no hesitation whatsoever, she hid there. At least now, she was feeling slightly more secure.
And it was exactly at this moment when another howl was heard before their building started to experience the most fierce earthquake until now. This time, it was as if the building itself was quivering all over. And indeed, outside, the highest section of the hotel construction was destroyed as the building came crashing down.
"Ahhhh..." meanwhile, Hu Yuexin was screaming nonstop as she felt her entire life flashing before her.
PANG~
Soon, nearly everyone was squashed to death beneath the debris. Even Hu Yuexin’s temporary shelter cracked into several pieces as the weight came pressing on Hu Yuexin herself!
...
Now, the entire building had been leveled. Meanwhile, beneath the debris, covered in dust and full of injuries, Hu Yuexin was taking her final breaths.
She no longer felt her own body. She was quite certain she wasn’t going to live this time.
’M-my... son...’ even her thoughts were somewhat broken at this point, ’I... can’t... leave... my son. I... haven’t even seen that man... return yet... but why... why do I... need to die?’
’Why is it that... every tragedy falls upon... me? Why kind of... unforgivable sin... did I commit for me to... go through everything I did?’
’W-will... will I see my son... again? Will I see that man agai-’ her last line of deliberation was cut off at this point as she drew her final breath of despair before her body powerlessly fell on the wreaked rubble as her consciousness retreated into oblivion, never to be lit again. Forever.
Hu Yuexin... was gone.
...
Meanwhile, outside, Virus continued to gaze at the remains of the hotel in all quietness.
Slowly, he started to feel something missing inside himself. As if he had just become... less.
This sensation at first annoyed him. And before soon, it started to frustrate him somewhat.
Then with frustration came anger as it ended in... rage.
Pure...
Rage.
Something that belonged to him alone had just been taken away; never to be returned again!
This was Virus’ first time in his new life that he had lost something permanently. And that was starting to blind him in endless wrath of insanity.
Despite everything, however, none of that rage or maddening wrath of his was exhibiting itself on his expression at all. The only change his rage caused on his face were those freezing eyes of his which were emitting an extremely piercing glint inside them.
The coldness and the sharpness exuding from those eyes of his were so extreme that anyone who took a momentary glimpse of them would instantly get the illusion of straightly gazing into the deepest abyss of the frozen hell itself!
Simultaneously, accompanied by those deadly eyes of his, an invisible yet blood-curdling murderous intent began to be emitted and released from all over his being!
