After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Chapter 131

In one hour, Liu Zikang would be dragged to the execution ground.

This is the last hour of the year.

The sky was as black as ink, and there was no other living thing on the field except the soldiers and horses responsible for the execution.

Min Liu was sitting at the desk in the back tent, still reviewing a memorial on flood control, just like any other busy night.

During this period of time, Liu Zikang had a more comfortable life than any other prisoner in the history of the Jing Dynasty, but now this comfort is coming to an end.

Five horses pulling a corpse apart, also known as quartering, involves using five horses to pull the prisoner's head and limbs with ropes respectively, and pulling them apart until the prisoner dies. It is not easy to cut off the limbs directly with a knife, let alone just pulling. If the horse on the head side is not working hard enough, then this will be a long torture. In history, it was mostly used against rebels and treason. This term that once appeared in books now has to be applied to oneself.

Liu Zikang sat and looked at the night outside, feeling a sense of absurd calmness.

When the time came, Liu Zikang didn't want to think about anything or do anything.

Min Liu in the tent finally put down his pen, called the servant to ask about the time, and when he learned that it was already late, he ordered the sleepy old doctor to wake up and bring the medicine over.

He is the same deputy director from before, but now he has become the chief director. No one cooperates with him in practicing Tai Chi. The former chief director died of lung disease a year ago, and he is the only one left.

Holding a bowl of brown-red medicine in a trembling manner, the old messenger came to the tent where Liu Zikang was waiting for execution.

"Fourth Prince, drink the medicine."

The old envoy handed the bowl over and said, "The emperor ordered me to develop this, and it has only recently shown results. It will make your walk easier and less painful."

"Let me make it clear first. I didn't have time to experiment in advance, so it may not be effective. Don't blame me for scaring you when you get down there."

Liu Zikang was about to die at this time, so he stopped pretending and ignored any settings. He stood up like a real teenage student, took the medicine bowl, smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Hey! I don't deserve it. Don't say such nonsense!"

The old dean took two steps back and looked at the man in front of him who drank the whole bottle. He said with some emotion: "Your brother loves you. Remember to be a good person in your next life."

When Liu Zikang heard this, his eyes suddenly soured for some reason. He just raised his head and replied, "Yes, big brother loves me."

The old hospital attendant was not sure what was going on, and he left tremblingly after delivering the medicine.

Liu Zikang looked at the old man walking away, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "I am indeed a good person."

The night wind blew the horses' manes high up, and bursts of horse neighing came from outside the tent.

In the air inside the tent, Ni Yangzhou heard Kang Kang's whispers and felt indescribably sad.

Ni Yangzhou felt that he was not a saint, but he was a person who grew up in a peaceful era. It was difficult for him to give up his conscience just because of the changes in the environment.

But this time he begged 103 to break the rules.

Liu Zikang's system can open a backdoor because of guilt for choosing the wrong difficulty world, and teleport Liu Zikang directly to his side. Then 103 is also a system, and there should be some methods that have not been revealed.

Ni Yangzhou and 103 battled wits and courage for more than ten days and finally decided on the final plan - after Liu Zikang ended this world, he would be directly teleported to the next mission world, and the depleted system energy would be made up by 103 first. After Ni Yangzhou completed his mission, he could not return to the real world, and had to do one more mission to repay Liu Zikang's debt.

This is the biggest compromise 103 can make.

Ni Yangzhou looked at the child looking at the night sky and just felt sympathy for him.

Time passed little by little. The servant reported the time for the third time. It was less than half an incense stick of time before midnight. There was no time to delay any longer.

Min Liu finally stood up, walked out of the back tent, and came to Liu Zikang. The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Liu Zikang looked at it and suddenly smiled: "You are not a one-sided person. Big Brother also likes you a little bit."

"I was nearly beheaded by my subordinates before, and my brother rushed over and helped me deal with those people, and he was covered in blood."

Liu Zikang looked up, his expression calm and with a slight smile: "When he was rummaging through his sleeves like a treasure chest, a piece of rag fell out. I asked him why he kept this small piece of cloth, and he said it was the cloth you used to wrap snacks when he saw you for the second time."

"I don't know why my brother kept it. He hesitated for a while, but didn't throw it away. He folded it and put it back in his sleeve."

"Big brother's face is always gentle."

Min Liu stood there, like a silent stake.

"Thank you for the medicine. If you have the chance, please thank my brother for me."

The soldiers outside the door were urging her to leave. Liu Zikang had no regrets. The medicine was indeed effective. She couldn't feel her limbs when she walked now. It should be a stronger anesthetic that could make her suffer less.

Liu Zikang stood up with difficulty and walked out slowly. Min Liu lowered his head slightly, without speaking or moving.

"Oh, right." Liu Zikang turned around and added, "If you can fulfill Big Brother's idea, you can try and find him. I always feel that you two may be a pair of inseparable protagonists. If you can go back to the world of Big Brother and me, build a grave for me, the epitaph will be..."

"…Throwing objects from high places will lead you to the eighteenth level of hell."

Liu Zikang didn't look back and walked out the door generously.

Things can't get any worse, even if some people have let it go, some people have accepted it, and some people have tried their best.

But things are certainly not as we wish.

Ni Yangzhou followed the young man in mid-air and floated out. His eyes were so sore that he was about to cry, even though he was just a soul now and didn't even have tears.

It's about to end.

Liu Zikang thought.

It's finally over.

Fate played a joke on her, delaying her death and allowing her to experience some different lives, and now it is finally coming to an end.

Small flakes of snow began to fall, like thin willow catkins, just like the beginning of the story.

At this moment, 103 suddenly made an urgent beep.

It was like slamming the brakes in mid-air.

"What's wrong, third brother?"
