Trapped on a Terrifying Island, This Good-for-Nothing Just Wants to Survive

1.

“That kid named Susa likes you, doesn’t he?”

At the corner of a deep alley, Yun Xia Kui suddenly blurted out.

The priestess remained silent, focused only on walking, but her eyes, like icy lakes, rippled with hidden emotions.

“What does Dongji think? Do you like him too?”

Unable to hold back any longer, Yun Xia Kui called out that taboo name. He still refused to refer to his sister with the respectful title of “Divine Child” like the other villagers, nor was he accustomed to her current name.

“He’s a good person, but I don’t want to hold him back.” The girl shook her head.

“If Dongji doesn’t want to stay by the side of the Divine Family, your brother and sister can step in and cancel the engagement for you. Although Dongji has no blood relation with the Yun family, we have always treated you as our own sister. Mom and Dad kept calling your name before they died. So, if you have any grievances, you must…”

Yun Xia Kui’s words were cut off before he could finish.

“Cancel the engagement? Have you ever seen the Divine Family? Brother Xia Kui, you really don’t understand, do you? It’s impossible for me to leave that family…” The girl’s voice turned into a somber, choked stream, “I haven’t learned shamanic arts, nor am I a professional doctor. Have you ever thought why Mom and Dad instructed you to find me at this crucial moment?”

Thinking of the mythical legend, Yun Xia Kui’s pupils suddenly shrank: “Could it be that you are…”

“It’s complicated, but it’s true…” She lowered her head, giving a desolate smile, “Someone like me, burdened with such a fate, is better off not involving others.”

But the legend says that the “Blood of the Gods” can restrain the Rakshasa ghosts, doesn’t it? Since she’s performing exorcism rituals every night, why are these things still happening? Could it be that the Rakshasa ghosts are more ferocious than before, and just smearing blood on the God Blood Stone isn’t enough to control them anymore? What is Dongji planning to do to solve the problem this time?

As the wall drew closer, Yun Xia Kui’s heart hung even higher.

However, the priestess silently bypassed several barricades and climbed directly over the electric retractable gate.

“Such a primitive retractable gate…” She landed steadily, gently brushing the dust off her hands, “Luckily, there are no blades, spears, glass shards, no electric nets or alarms. Otherwise, Brother Xia Kui wouldn’t have escaped just now, right?”

“Yeah, I knocked out those white-clad weirdos, but I didn’t know how to use the control system in the guard room, so I had to climb out. Beyond this barrier, there’s a large group of people guarding the village entrance, be careful.”

The priestess glanced emotionlessly at the guards in disposable protective suits, lying haphazardly on the ground: “These three weaklings were no match for me. But did the people at the village entrance just watch you leave?”

“I took their leader hostage, so they didn’t dare come close.” Yun Xia Kui pointed to his sword.

“Really? This journey seems too smooth. Did they let Brother Xia Kui out to destroy the entire Cicada Hiding Town, or is it a trap to lure me in?”

The girl pulled out a silenced pistol from her waist, slowly approached the three men on the ground, and shot them in the heart. They didn’t have a chance to wake up, dying in convulsions.

Seeing her adoptive brother’s stunned face, the girl indifferently put away the gun: “This is what my biological father left me for killing beasts.”

Unexpectedly, the white-clad weirdos at the village entrance had all disappeared.

“Strange, where did those dogs go?”

Just as Yun Xia Kui was puzzled, a white shadow suddenly flashed by.

The siblings became alert, ready to draw their swords. There was no one around, and they could only hear the breeze rustling the grass.

Suddenly, a white-clothed figure appeared before them, screeching horribly as it lunged. The eerie howl was unlike any sound a human could make.

The term “white-clothed weirdo” was originally a derogatory term for guards in white protective suits, but now they had truly become monsters!

Yun Xia Kui hadn’t reacted yet when the detestable mutant was sliced into pieces in a flurry of swordplay.

As the monster’s head hit the ground, the protective mask flew off, revealing a face twisted in agony, dark blue with hints of purple.

The mutilated corpse had numerous bloodied wounds. This person must have been bitten by a Rakshasa ghost after Yun Xia Kui left, as the medical protective suit couldn

‘t withstand physical attacks.

“Turned into a Rakshasa ghost?” Yun Xia Kui, still in shock, stood frozen, gasping for air. “Then, will the villagers be killed by Dongji too?”

“If my blood cannot save them…” The girl shook the blood off her blade, wiped the sword with a handkerchief, and sheathed it.

Then, she rolled up her sleeves, unwound the bandages and gauze, and pulled out a short sword from her bosom, slicing open her own arm.

If self-harm is considered abuse, then Sasha was right, I am indeed being abused by the “Divine Family.” She thought, not without self-mockery.

“Brother, drink it, to prevent you from turning into a Rakshasa ghost.” She brought her blood-drenched arm close to her adoptive brother’s mouth.

Yun Xia Kui, unable to bear seeing the scars on her left arm, closed his eyes and turned his face away.

“Drink it, or my blood will be wasted…”

Tonight there will be much blood lost, can I still keep that promise? I should have sent Susa-kun away earlier. Her heart ached with the thought.

“Eldest sister is seriously ill; we’ve tied her up and left Second Sister to watch her at home.”

Yun Xia Kui wiped the blood from his mouth, grabbing his adoptive sister’s right hand and sprinting towards their home.

As soon as they pushed open the door, a foul stench of pus and blood hit them.

The figure bound with hemp rope was not their beautiful eldest sister, but a nearly melted lump of rotting flesh, barely held by the ropes, with softened bones barely recognizable.

Its hair and skin had all fallen off, the floor covered with vomited rotten internal organs, turning the wooden floor into a sticky bloodstain.

Had it not been for the witch’s robe covering the lump, the siblings wouldn’t have recognized this indescribable monster.

Next to the eldest sister was their second sister, who had already committed suicide. Her pupils were dilated, her face covered with dry tear marks, and her body was covered in rashes and bleeding spots.

The girl let her blood drip onto the rotting mass, but it only trembled in pain without making any sound.

“Don’t waste your strength anymore, it’s hopeless. Let eldest and second sister rest in peace…”

Yun Xia Kui, with tears streaming down his face, carried his petrified sister out of the house and silently set fire to their wooden home.

The Rakshasa ghosts, dressed in white protective suits and ethnic costumes, gradually surrounded them, among them many people from other villages.

“Has the entire inner ring undergone such a transformation?” Yun Xia Kui murmured to himself.

A child-sized evil ghost lunged at them, starting to gnaw on the girl’s left arm. However, she didn’t move away, just gritting her teeth in endurance. Yun Xia Kui rushed forward, kicking the small ghost away.

Within seconds, the small ghost was corroded by the girl’s blood, letting out a piteous wail.

Yun Xia Kui grabbed his sister, shaking her shoulders incessantly: “Dongji, wake up! They can’t be saved anymore, get up and fight!”
