Chapter 1267 The taste of blood

So what if Ayu is his fantasy?
The man thought angrily.

Ayu did inspire him.

The character A Yu that he drew was indeed liked by the editor.

That would be nice... isn't it?

Yes, that would be good, wouldn’t it?
The man raised his head, a faint light in his eyes.

Why do we have to worry about whether A Yu is real or not?

Even if A Yu is fake, it's not bad.

That A Yu is just his A Yu.

Ayu, perhaps, is his unique muse who came to help him realize his dream.

Isn’t it better to think this way?

What on earth was he struggling with before?

The man's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He turned and looked at Ayu by the window.

"Dong dong~"

There was a knock on the door.

The man was startled and turned back subconsciously.

Then he saw Editor Zhang pushing the door open.

"I'm sorry, I thought you might not get up to open the door for me."

Editor Zhang explained his behavior just now, "So I didn't close the door when I went out before."

"It's just half-covered."

"My home is not far from you."

Editor Zhang walked up to the man and stretched out his hand. On his palm lay a emerald green jade pendant.

"This is the jade pendant I was talking about."

The man took a look at the jade pendant. The color was nice, but that was all.

It wasn't much different from what he saw in the store.

He didn't understand jade and couldn't see what was special about it.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

He looked up at Editor Zhang with a slight smile on his face, "Editor Zhang, thank you for your kindness."

"But, no need."

"No?"

Editor Zhang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Are you okay?"

Now it was the man's turn to be stunned.

He was hesitating whether to tell the truth to Editor Zhang.

Little did he know that his expression had already told Editor Zhang the answer.

"Where is Ayu?"

Editor Zhang asked directly.

"Ah? By the window."

the man blurted out.

After he finished speaking, the man's face was full of regret.

Editor Zhang walked towards the window.

The sound of rain grew louder in my ears.

A breeze carrying raindrops blew in from the window gap.

It blows on my face and feels slightly cool.

In fact, he didn't know what he was doing here.

In his eyes, there was no one by the window.

However, he had already brought the jade pendant, and he always felt that it would be a bit of a waste if he just left like that.

He just wanted to try it.

As for what to try, he couldn't explain clearly.

Just try it.

……

Editor Zhang stroked the jade pendant on his palm.

It feels soft and slightly cool to the touch.

The emerald green color seems to have shallow ripples.

He blinked and looked intently.

What waves are there?
But just now...

Is it because of the light?

Editor Zhang held up the jade pendant, moved his feet slightly, adjusted the position and angle of the jade pendant in his hand, and looked at the jade pendant carefully in the light of the room.

……

"what."

The man let out a low cry.

Editor Zhang subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

But the man looked anxious, and he stood up and walked over quickly, "Editor Zhang, you're going to run into-"

"..."

Editor Zhang looked confused, "Am I going to run into?"

"Jang Hyuk?"

But the man could no longer hear Editor Zhang's voice.

In his field of vision, Editor Zhang was walking back and forth near the window holding the jade pendant, and he almost brushed past A Yu several times.

Especially when he shouted, Editor Zhang was about to hit Ayu.

He also forgot that Ayu was just an illusion, and was so worried that he wanted to run over and grab Editor Zhang. However, he stopped in his tracks.

There is a dazzling green before my eyes.

He closed his eyes subconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again, A Yu was gone.

However, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

His pupils contracted for a moment.

"Ayu, Ayu..."

"Ayu!"

He ran back and forth by the window. Even though it was a place that he could see clearly at a glance, he ran back and forth several times.

Until Editor Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the panic-stricken Zhang He.

Although he was a little angry at Zhang He's rude behavior of pushing him away, seeing Zhang He's look, he could only sigh in his heart.

Hallucinations are scary.

Could it really affect people to such an extent?
……

"Ayu, Ayu..."

The man broke free from the shackles of the editor and rolled his eyes.

"Wow~"

He pushed the window open.

The wind was howling, and raindrops were pouring in.

The man touched his face and then leaned forward on the windowsill.

He looked out, 'Ayu, Ayu...'

"Ayu, where are you?!"

"Ayu..."

……

"enough!"

Editor Zhang pulled the man down from the windowsill.

"Bang~"

He shut the window tightly.

The whole room seemed to tremble slightly because of this.

"Ayu is just your illusion!"

Editor Zhang shouted, "She's gone, which means your hallucination is gone."

"What else are you looking for her for?!"

……

Editor Zhang was a little out of breath.

Looking at the man who was no longer struggling, he slowly let out a sigh of relief, "Zhang He."

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, "You're fine."

"Your hallucination is gone."

"You can't see Ayu anymore."

"You're okay."

But soon, the excitement in his eyes slowly faded, and looking at the dazed man in front of him, he thought that the other party had not reacted yet.

After all, things changed too quickly, and he didn't expect it to be so smooth. It even made him feel that there was much ado about nothing?

Aren’t all mental illnesses very difficult to treat?

Just now he was still worried about the man's abnormality, but now the man said that A Yu was missing and his hallucination was gone.

The illusion is gone, doesn't that mean...

He grabbed the man's shoulders and shook him vigorously, "Did you hear that, Zhang He?"

"You're ready!"

"Your illusion is gone!"

"You're fine!"

"Your mind is fine!"

But his excitement did not receive any resonance.

Editor Zhang had a strange look on his face, "...Are you unhappy?"

"Jang Hyuk, your hallucination is gone, you-"

"no!"

The man suddenly interrupted Editor Zhang loudly.

Then he murmured in a low voice, "No, no..."

The green light and the faint smell of blood in the air made him uneasy.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Editor Zhang, "Editor Zhang, are you hurt?"

"what?"

The man's inexplicable question made Editor Zhang stunned for a moment, "Injured?"

He subconsciously looked at himself, "No."

"I'm fine, how could I be injured?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I smell blood."

The man's heart skipped a beat because of Editor Zhang's words.

Since Editor Zhang wasn't injured, then...

how come?
The man shook his head vigorously.

Isn’t Ayu his hallucination?
How could it be injured?
No, no...
