Witch, Open Your Eyes

Chapter 88: Seventh day Part Three

Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it. Thank you.

The wind was howling outside the house, the leaves on the back mountain were rustling, the sea birds were hovering in a mournful cry. The villa hangs on the reef, as if it will be blown down by gust of wind. In the distance, bubbles have begun to appear in the sea water. Some kind of grey-black solid thing is like Moses, dividing the sea before pushing up the dark sea water from the depths of the sea.

Fang Daichuan staggered a little, he couldn’t stand, only then did he realise that the villa was shaking.

There was a hissing electric sound from the amplifier, the voice that come out later seemed a little surprised: “You aren’t as stupid as you look.”

This is it. Fang Daichuan looked down at Li Sinian, Li Sinian covered his shoulder with one hand. Blood dripped down the wound and spilled all over the floor. Something was blocking Fang Daichuan’s heart so much that he felt like he couldn’t breathe.

“Are you fucking out your mind?! As a mother, how could you do this to your own son!?” Fang Daichuan kept reminding himself to be patient but unfortunately he couldn’t hold back his anger. It erupted like a volcano.

The person in the loudspeaker seemed to chuckle twice, which sent out a few electric bursts.

“How did Eternity describe me to you?” The person spoke fluent Mandarin, without any accent making people could not tell the other’s accent and origin. Only now Fang Daichuan realised that this is how Li Sinian learned Mandarin.

Fang Daichuan sneered and said, “You are Miss Qianjin* who travels alone with a backpack and loves to go to the Arctic Circle to see the stars for sightseeing.”

(T/N : Apparently this [千金小姐, Qiānjīn xiǎojiě]  means unmarried girls from wealthy family. Also Flores and Eternity in this chapter is on English in raw)

Li Sinian had already stood up, without looking at the camera, his eyes were fixed on the four sniper rifles. He then looked up at the villa gate, calculating the angle and time in his heart.

Mrs. Flores chuckled: “Did Eternity tell you which wealthy family I came from?”

No, Fang Daichuan was very angry when he heard it. Li Sinian, that bastard, his mouth full of words but he didn’t tell the truth.

Mrs. Flores said, “Ocean Security Company, have you heard of it?”

No, Fang Daichuan blinked his eyes and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

“Security Company? Are you training security personnel and protecting property?” This wealthy young Miss business is quite down to earth, Fang Daichuan thought and replied reluctantly. After all, she is Li Sinian’s own mother and he had to give his mother-in-law* a face. Even if she is a vicious mother-in-law, Fang Daichuan roasts internally.

(T/N : PFFFT! Alright so the word is [婆婆;Pópo] and this means grandma or husband’s mother or mother-in-law and therefore I used mother-in-law since well, read further and you will see why.)

“Ocean Security Company, the largest mercenary force in the United States, has cooperated with USMC and RAF, and has travelled all over Europe, North America and North Africa.” Li Sinian glanced at Fang Daichuan and explained aloud.

(T/N : USMC and RAF is on English in raw, link for more info)

Although I don’t know what USMC and RAF are, they sound very high-end. Fang Daichuan became a little respectful to this mother-in-law.

No wonder she can travel around the world alone with just a bag on her back and daring to venture into the wilderness, not to mention places like the Antarctic and North Pole. I should have figured out earlier, would a woman who travelled around like that be some dainty young lady?

“Auntie,” Fang Daichuan told himself to be someone who can bend and stretch. In front of such a terrifying woman, even people like Li Sinian are obedient, so he lowered his posture and said sincerely, “I’m afraid you don’t believe me but I slept with Nian-ge last night. We are a family now. No matter how you look at it, I am your half-daughter-in-law, right? If there is any problem, let’s sit down and have a cup of tea to solve it. What do you think? Nian-ge had an injury on his left shoulder. It’s not a big deal to break a bone but it’s a terrible thing to injure a large blood vessel. “

(T/N : Yes this is why I used mother-in-law. *howl with laughter* Darn this chapter and previous and previous is depressing so thank you Chuan’er for the laugh. Oh and Chuan’er used [儿媳;ér xí] which is yes, daughter-in-law.)

Li Sinian looked up at him as if he was mentally ill and was deeply impressed by his shameless spirit. ——As someone from show biz, regardless of his acting skills, he has a thick skin.

His mother-in-law responded with a sneer.

There was a sudden, loud propeller noise in the sky and a helicopter spiralled and descended close to the reef mound on the beach, which both men saw through the floor-to-ceiling windows and both looked flabbergasted.

Li Sinian closed his eyes: “Don’t talk nonsense with her, they are here, Chuan’er-ge, go.”

Fang Daichuan looked at the gun in the corner of the house, looked at his face, and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go together!”

“We can’t go together!” Li Sinian was furious, “She’s true to her word. Do you think she’s just bluffing? I arranged that helicopter! Once the game starts, only the winner will be taken in the end!”

The floor under the feet rumbled and trembled, the volcano, which is 15 years late, finally erupted.

The violent tremor caused the sniper rifle on the ceiling to move away, the villa was crumbling among the rocks. Li Sinian suddenly pushed Fang Daichuan out: “Go!”

“Give me your hand!” Fang Daichuan was unmoved, his expression was calm as he came back to his senses, but the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

“I fucking told you to go!” Li Sinian roared.

Fang Daichuan became anxious: “I fucking told you to give me your hand!”

The sniper rifles in the corner of the room were shaking and moving with difficulty. Li Sinian did the calculation in his mind but his cold lower limbs from blood loss could not support him in the short time he had to run out of range.

At that moment, Li Sinian’s mind was extremely clear.

He looked up at the monitor, his light amber pupils like some kind of inorganic glass, staring straight at the man behind the monitor.

“Die together,” Fang Daichuan noticed Li Sinian’s physical condition. Strangely, his state of mind was surprisingly peaceful, without the slightest despair before dying. “If we can’t go together, then we will die together.”

Li Sinian stared at him for a few seconds, dejected, raised his right arm and hugged him gently, his blood colouring Fang Daichuan’s body. “I really can’t win against you,” he sighed in his ear, “I’m sorry, Chuan’er-ge, don’t blame me.”

Fang Daichuan wanted to say, how could I blame you? Living and dying together are the rare happy ending that the world can ask for. It’s a pity that before he had time to speak, the back of his neck hurt and the whole world was spinning and blurring.

(T/N : happy ending is in English in raw)

“Li Sinian! Fuck you!” He was physically stronger, struggling to say a few curse words, crying while doing so, as he drowned in despair he never felt before.

Li Sinian smiled and kissed the corner of his mouth: “If someone can survive, why should we die together. Chuan’er-ge, remember what you said. Wait for me.”

The sea in the distance has already turned into a sea of ​​fire, the helicopter did not dare to descend too close. It stays in mid-air and puts down a soft rope. Seeing that two people came out, a head stuck out of the cabin and the cold pistol was facing them, shouting: “Only one!”

(T/N : Only one is in English in raw)

Li Sinian ignored him, tied Fang Daichuan with a soft rope, he tied a dozen knots in a row. He stared at him for a few seconds, then resolutely stepped back.

Fang Daichuan’s body was already limp but his right hand desperately grip Li Sinian’s clothes, not letting go, still remembering the master’s command before he fainted. Even in the deepest darkness, a large drop of tears still flowing non-stop from the corners of his eyes, brushing the side of his blood-stained face.

Li Sinian ruthlessly ripped open his T-shirt, the helicopter was instantly raised and Fang Daichuan’s palm became empty just like his heart. Subconsciously anxious, he reached out trying to grab something but only a piece of cloth squeezed tightly in his hand.

The flames had surged up, carrying methane and combustible gases from the seabed and spreading remotely across the sea, half greenish-blue water, half intense red flames, the angle turning as the helicopter lifted off, the water sparkling in the sunlight.

The hatch opened, someone pulled the rope up, Fang Daichuan’s body swayed in mid-air, and Li Sinian’s heart tightened.

“Chuan’er-ge,” he looked up at Fang Daichuan’s face, which was not very clear against the light, but the threads of tears smashed into his heart drop by drop. His eyes were soft and affectionate, “Goodbye.” He said, raising his hand and kissing the silver ring on his pinky finger.

The silver ring still has L&F engraved on the inside, but now it has a new meaning.

(T/N : Li and Fang. I just love the author.)

“How do you know that he won’t seek death when he goes back?” Behind him came a female voice, speaking in English.

Li Sinian felt a cold muzzle pressed against his back but he didn’t turn around: “I know him too well, in the heat of the moment, he can said we can die together, but when he goes back, he will face his parents, grandpa, and all those who love him. Facing all people who have expectations for him, with his personality, he will never walk away.”

He looked up at the helicopter silhouette: “What’s more, I left him hope. As long as there is that glimmer of hope, I can die for him and he can live for me.”

All kinds of calculations, showing how deep the affection.

The helicopter silhouette had disappeared from the horizon. A sea of fire surrounded the island, and the flames were already licking at the corners of Li Sinian’s coat. He turned around, his hair moving in the volcanic ash and the sea breeze, and looked straight at the blonde woman in front of him with a curled smile: “After all these years, it is time for us to end this. Mother, why involve the innocent when those who deserve to die are already dead? Now it’s just you and me. Will you accompany me and be buried on this island in Dad’s final resting place?”

(T/N : And this is the end of mass release. Honestly I wish I can give you more chapters but even after 2 weeks I can only get 5 chapters out.
