Chapter 476: Last Words
Jiang Shangfeng stared at the black bloodline on his arm. In that instant, he was stunned. There was a buzzing sound in his ears.
The buzzing sound became louder and louder, and Jiang Shangfeng lost his hearing.
At that moment, the world was silent and noisy.
“Ah Feng!”
Jiang Shangfeng only came back to his senses when Mr. West tugged hard on Jiang Shangfeng’s sleeve. The buzzing in his ears still hadn’t stopped, and he still couldn’t hear anyone else. Seeing his father-in-law’s lips opening and closing, Jiang Shangfeng stared at them for a moment before realizing that Mr. West had mentioned Vivian.
Vivian!
The voice that kept buzzing in Jiang Shangfeng’s mind gradually weakened.
Finally, Jiang Shangfeng could hear voices. Mr. West was saying—
“We’ve all interacted with Mom, but Vivian has never touched her. I wonder if Vivian is infected.” Mr. West said to Jiang Shangfeng, “Ah Feng, go over and take a look at Vivian’s condition.”
Jiang Shangfeng nodded. “Okay.”
Jiang Shangfeng was about to leave the room to look for Vivian when Deputy Director Sun pressed his shoulder.
Deputy Director Sun said, “I’ll go. You’re already infected. It won’t be good if Madam Vivian is indirectly infected by you.”
Jiang Shangfeng was stunned. In the end, he could only agree helplessly.
Deputy Director Sun left the room and went to the public bathroom at the end of the corridor to wash his hands before knocking on Vivian’s door. Vivian opened the door happily. She thought that the person knocking was Jiang Shangfeng. When she saw that the person standing outside the door was Deputy Director Sun, she immediately straightened her expression and called out respectfully, “Director Sun.”
Vivian glanced at her grandmother’s room and saw that the door was still closed. She couldn’t help but frown. Vivian noticed that Deputy Director Sun’s expression was solemn and felt a little uneasy. She asked in confusion, “Deputy Director Sun, what’s my grandmother’s situation now?”
Deputy Director Sun told her sternly, “Listen, Madam Vivian, what I’m going to say next is crucial.”
Vivian nodded subconsciously. “Is my grandmother’s illness incurable?” Other than that, Vivian couldn’t think of a worse situation.
Deputy Director Sun shook his head. “More than that.”
More than that.
These words made Vivian panic. “Director Sun, what happened?”
Deputy Director Sun said, “Let me see your right hand.”
Although Vivian found it strange, she still obediently extended her right hand.
The central air conditioner was turned on at home, and Vivian was wearing a long-sleeved gauze dress. Deputy Director Sun did not need to lift her sleeve to see her arm. He noticed that Vivian’s arm was fair and did not have any infected black vessel, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s like this. Your grandmother has been cursed. All the family members who have been close to your grandmother have also been infected. I think that your grandmother is definitely not the only case in the Prosperous Capital. Soon, more people will be infected. The infected will have all their internal organs rot away within three days and vomit to death.”
“Soon, the Prosperous Capital will be sealed. The people in the city…” Deputy Director Sun couldn’t bear to tell Vivian about the fate of the people in the city.” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying,” Vivian, pack your things and leave with me. ”
Vivian stood behind the door in a daze. She couldn’t digest this news for a moment.
How could a family be destroyed just like that?!
Vivian came back to her senses and suddenly ran towards her grandmother’s bedroom.
Vivian twisted the door handle and realized that it wouldn’t budge.
“Open the door!” Vivian slammed the bedroom door.
Jiang Shangfeng stood behind the door. He had already locked it.
Hearing Vivian’s shout outside the door, Jiang Shangfeng’s eyes turned red. “Vivian.”
When Vivian heard Jiang Shangfeng’s voice, she held back her tears and said in a choked voice, “Ah Feng, open the door.”
“Vivian, I can’t open the door.”
Jiang Shangfeng pressed the door hard. He looked through the peephole at the anxious Vivian outside the door. He clenched his fists and tried his best to stabilize his emotions. He said to Vivian calmly, “Vivian, you have to leave the Prosperous Capital and go to Jingdu to find Anna and Yu Huang. Our child is in your stomach. We have already seen the beauty of this world, but he has yet to see this world.”
“Vivian, be good. Hurry up and leave with Director Sun.”
The West family’s couple also silently came to their son-in-law’s side.
Mrs. West said to Vivian, who was outside the house, “Daughter, this is a disaster for the entire city. You won’t be of any help even if you stay. This evil curse is contagious. Before long, the entire city will be infected. Hurry up and go with Deputy Director Sun while he’s willing to take you away!”
“Go to Jingdu and find your friends. Live well and give birth to the baby safely. In the future, remember to toast your family on memorial day. Then, we can rest in peace.”
Mr. West placed his hands on the door and said to Vivian in a hoarse voice, “Daughter, I’m sorry that we brought you to this world, but we can’t leave this world with you. Be good and leave quickly!”
Outside the door, Vivian was already crying.
“How can I leave?!” Vivian covered her face with her hands, her palms filled with tears. “Dad, Mom, Ah Feng, you’re all here. How can I bear to leave?!” It wasn’t impossible for the family to die together.
When he heard Vivian’s cries, Jiang Shangfeng’s heart ached.
Jiang Shangfeng could no longer hold back his emotions. He pressed his forehead against the door and said sadly, “Vivian! We still have three days of golden time. Go to Jingdu to find Yu Huang and the Grand Master Sheng first. Perhaps they still have a chance to save the Prosperous Capital! There’s hope when you reach Jingdu! If you stay here and get infected, the child will be in danger!”
“Be good and leave with him quickly.”
Vivian lowered her head and looked at her stomach. She nodded hard with tears in her eyes. “Alright! I’ll leave with him. I’ll look for Yu Huang and Anna. Ah Feng, I’ll listen to you. I’ll leave!”
Deputy Director Sun walked over quickly with his phone in his hand. “Let’s go! The Prosperous Capital will be sealed in half an hour. If we don’t leave now, we won’t make it!”
Hearing this, Vivian suddenly broke down and cried. “Mom! Dad! Ah Feng, wait for me!”
Deputy Director Sun pulled Vivian towards the stairs.
Jiang Shangfeng heard Vivian’s cries getting further and further away. He rolled up his sleeves again and realized that the black blood vessel had deepened.
Jiang Shangfeng turned around and looked at his parents-in-law, his eldest uncle and aunt, and his youngest aunt. He said in a low voice, “There’s not much time left. Let’s hurry up and bid farewell to our family while we’re conscious.”
Hearing this, Annabelle immediately took out her phone. She said, “I have to call my son.” Annabelle had long divorced her husband. Her son ran a five-star hotel in Jingdu. She was very proud of her son’s achievements.
Her eldest uncle and aunt also hugged each other and called their son and daughter, who were studying in a university in another province.
Jiang Shangfeng slid along the door and sat on the ground. He held his phone and thought for a long time before opening his email. He wrote a letter to Vivian and the unborn child—
[To Vivian and my baby:
Vivian, while telling you that I love you, I also have to apologize.
After a short period of shock and fear, I can calmly accept my death, but I can’t bear to look at your back as you leave, let alone imagine the scene of you raising our child alone in the future…]
After editing the email, Jiang Shangfeng set it to be sent three days later. Then, he called his parents to say goodbye.
In the end, he personally called Yu Huang.

At that moment, the Healer was treating Yu Huang in the hospital.
Her phone was kept by Sheng Xiao. When he heard the phone in his pocket vibrating, he took it out and glanced at the screen. Seeing that the caller ID was ‘Class Monitor’, Sheng Xiao picked up the phone. “Hello, Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Shangfeng fell silent when he heard Sheng Xiao’s voice.
Sheng Xiao asked, “Has the Healer gone over? Is your grandmother feeling better?”
“Grand Master Sheng…” Jiang Shangfeng’s voice was choked with emotion.
Jiang Shangfeng should not be crying when a Healer was treating Vivian’s grandmother. Sheng Xiao immediately realized that something had happened. He lowered his voice and asked, “What happened, Mr. Jiang?”
At that moment, Sheng Xiao’s phone rang. It was Sheng Lingfeng.
Sheng Xiao hung up and sent Sheng Lingfeng a message. “What is it, Father?”
As soon as the message was sent, Sheng Xiao heard Jiang Shangfeng say, “Grand Master Sheng, please think of a way to save the Prosperous Capital. There are eight million residents in the Prosperous Capital. Once the city is sealed, these eight million residents will die with hatred!”
Sheng Xiao was shocked when he heard that.
Seal the city?
“What happened?”
At the same time, Sheng Xiao received a new message on his phone.
Sheng Lingfeng sent a message: “Dozens of death curses have been discovered in the Prosperous Capital. The entire city will be sealed within half an hour. The prince is leading the army to the Prosperous Capital. The various families have also sent their core disciples to guard it. Xiao’er, your eldest senior brother has already brought his disciples to the Prosperous Capital to guard it. You and Yu Huang will also go to the Prosperous Capital immediately.”
Death Curse!
Sheng Xiao felt a chill down his spine when he saw the words “Death Curse”.
On the phone, Jiang Shangfeng cried and said, “Grand Master Sheng, our family has been infected by the Death Curse, but Vivian hasn’t. Vivian has already set off for Jingdu to rely on you. Grand Master Sheng, if I unfortunately pass away, I hope that you and Yu Huang can help her in the future on account of our friendship. If we die, Vivian will have no family. She will only have you guys.”
Sheng Xiao said, “…I will.”
“That’s good.”
Jiang Shangfeng was relieved to hear Sheng Xiao’s promise.
Jiang Shangfeng took the initiative to hang up. After hanging up, he couldn’t help but bury his head in his thighs and cry.
