The Evil Is Active Chapter 1

"Cough! Cough cough---cough cough cough!" Caleb He lay on the side of the bed, his pale fingers gripping the edge of the bed, his finger bones turning red from the force.

The black hair flowed down from the white neck, with the tips falling to the ground, stained with some ominous red.

"Someone come quickly! His Highness is coughing up blood again! Has His Majesty not returned yet?" The anxious voice of the maid in white sounded in my ears, so close, yet so far away.

After coughing, Caleb leaned weakly on the bed, feeling the blood constantly pouring out of his throat and his conscious mind gradually fading.

He knew that he was going to die.

He had already thought about how he would be written in later history books, "Caleb, the third son of Emperor Yan, the son of a palace maid, died of coughing up blood on the way to the south of the Yangtze River in the fourth year of Nanyun."

From birth to death, it is so miserable and lowly.

[Ding! System 233 of saving the male protagonist of abusive novels is online! ]

[A suitable host has been detected. Would you like to bind the system to save the male protagonist of the sadistic novel? The host is detected to be in critical condition. After binding, the system will provide treatment. Would you like to bind? ]

A clear, childish voice rang in my ears.

He didn't understand the first sentence, but he understood the second sentence very clearly.

Caleb clenched the quilt beneath him with his knuckles, raised his head, and everything in front of him was blurry and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Cough!" He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his pale face stained with endless blood, "Yes."

No matter it is God, immortal, Buddha, demon, ghost or monster, save him!

[Congratulations on binding to the system that saves the male protagonist of the sadistic novel! The system is treating...]

Streams of heat flowed out from the meridians, and the whole body felt like it was soaking in warm spring water. The pain in the lungs was easily soothed away, breathing became smooth again, and vision and hearing gradually recovered.

"Your Highness has... Your Highness?" The man's stagnant pulse suddenly began to beat vigorously, leaving the old doctor, who was about to announce the bad news, in confusion.

"Someone come quickly, His Highness has woken up!" The surprised voice of the man in white followed closely.

"Cough! Cough cough cough hahaha!" Caleb wanted to say something but couldn't help coughing, and then he laughed while coughing.

Survived.

After a flurry of activity, everyone in the room regained their composure. Some prescribed medicine, some served tea, some brought water, and some cleaned.

Caleb leaned against the head of the bed, gently flipping through a book, letting Blake gently wash the tips of his hair with a white towel dipped in hot water.

The candlelight flickered gently, and when turning the pages, the shadows of slender fingers fell on the slightly yellowed pages.

In his view, this book about political strategies for governing a country and maintaining peace has been transformed into a melodramatic and abusive love story.

It tells the story of Jasper Helian, a chivalrous hero who bears the blood feud of the He family, but is cheated of money, s3x, body and heart by a green tea prince Brandon He, and his body is thrown into a mass grave and finally killed.

---Original system words.

Brandon is the name of his second brother.

The He family was a family whose nine clans were exterminated for treason ten years ago.

Who wrote this love story about the second prince of the current dynasty and a rebellious person?

Caleb felt a little absurd.

However, the royal secrets and future changes in the situation revealed in this story do not seem to be nonsense at all.

There was even a mention of his death---

"Brandon held a glass of wine to see off the crown prince He Yungui, 'If my third brother were still alive, you might be my opponent. But it's a pity that you were afraid that he would regain the emperor's favor by traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, so you sent him to the underworld. Died of coughing up blood? Ridiculous!'

He threw a history book on He Yungui's face, which read, 'Caleb, the third son of Emperor Yan, the son of a palace maid, died of coughing up blood on the way to the south of the Yangtze River in September of the fourth year of Nanyun.'"

This year, the fourth year of Nanyun, the Emperor of Yan toured the south of the Yangtze River and thought of his mother, so he asked him to accompany him.

Tonight, he nearly died from coughing up blood.

So accurate it seems like a prophecy.

He waved his hand and asked Blake to leave. He waited until no one was around before speaking, "What's this story?"

[This is your world. Jasper and Brandon are the protagonists of the story.] The system responded positively.

The protagonist?

Caleb instantly clenched the book in his hand, and wrinkles appeared on the originally smooth pages. "What about me?"

[The host is a villain cannon fodder in the book.] The system said and proudly added, [If you were alive to assist the prince, the bad guy Brandon might not be able to ascend the throne.]

Assist the prince... Assist the prince who killed him?

Caleb chuckled.

His world is a book, and he is just an insignificant cannon fodder in this book.

The story takes place in October of the fourth year of Nanyun, but he had "died" in September of the fourth year of Nanyun, so everything has nothing to do with him.

What's even worse than the protagonist being used as a knife and discarded is that he never had a name from beginning to end.

Seeing the host's expression was wrong, 233 hurriedly tried to make amends, "Now that the host has me, not only will he not die, but he can also change the plot and control his own destiny! The previous book was called "The Beacon Fire Shines at Night", we want to cut ties with it! Our book is called "After the Sickly Villain Awakens"! 】

It's over, it forgot that the first person it bound to was a native! The shock was too great.

After the sickly villain awakens?

"So? What does Your Majesty want me to do?" Caleb closed his eyes.

[Oh, just call me 233~]

[Ding! The main quest is being released - save Jasper and change the protagonist's tragic fate. After completing the quest, you can recover completely.]

Save the protagonist Jasper.

He guessed right.

Caleb opened his eyes and smoothed out the wrinkles on the pages bit by bit, "In this book, I am still not the protagonist."

System: QAQ

"Got it." Caleb got out of bed and put the book on the table.

In the past, he would have had difficulty breathing and coughed after this action. But now, he only coughed lightly. This was all thanks to the system's treatment.

"I will complete the task."

[Really? Host, you are so kind! Host, what are you going to do? ]

How to do it?

Caleb looked up, looked out the window, and thought of the protagonist Jasper in the book.

The son of a general guarding the country, he was born in Liudu, the most prosperous place in Yan State. He was young and frivolous, wearing light clothes.

When he was 15 years old, a disaster happened. The He family was wiped out by a vengeful sect. At the same time, he was framed for treason and his entire clan was executed. He was the only one who survived.

He changed his name and went far away to the frontier, where he established Helian Village in a desolate place.

In just ten years, he became a top master in the martial arts world, and the Helian Village he established became one of the three major forces in the Great Wall.

In order to vindicate his father, he secretly observed several princes, intending to interfere in the matter of deposing and enthroning the emperor.

Extremely audacious and heroic.

Unfortunately, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.

By chance, he met the second prince Brandon, who used the alias Gu Bei.

After they met and got to know each other in the desert, he joined Brandon's camp, gave him advice and conquered the world. When the sharpest knife in his hand was used, he chopped all the opponents who coveted the throne to pieces and helped them ascend to the throne of emperor.

However, what he finally drank was a cup of poison, and his lifelong wish was shattered.

He climbed out of the mass grave, raised the flag and led his army to rebel, beheaded Brandon on the throne, and then fell ill and lived only one year.

Looking back on Jasper's life, most of it was a tragedy. The first half of his life was caused by the Emperor of Yan and the Crown Prince, and the second half was caused by Brandon.

Brandon, this idiot, has no ability to suppress Jasper, and can only watch him grow stronger and more powerful; he is also intolerant and can't help but feel jealous and suspicious, and wants to break his sword.

How to save Jasper?

Caleb looked at the bright moon outside the window that seemed to have never changed. He coughed lightly and replied to the system, "Let him become my sword."

...

The wind and sand are vast and the desert is endless.

A carriage was traveling from south to north. The wind chimes hanging beside the carriage swayed gently, and the melodious bells added a touch of vitality to the boundless desert.

Caleb lifted the pearl curtain and looked at the red wine flag fluttering in the wind in the distance, with the two black words "The Wind Rises" written on it, looking domineering and ostentatious.

Under the wine flag, a huge two-story earthen building stood in the desert. In the courtyard, there were towering trees with withered leaves. When the wind blew, the withered leaves fluttered down.

arrive.

Fengqi Inn.

It was here that Jasper heard about the Sha Family Castle holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride but was nearly massacred by the Ming Gate. On his way to Sha Family Castle, he met Brandon, who was using the alias Gu Bei. They were forced to "get married" under a red maple tree by accident, and they were entangled for the rest of their lives.

Now, he went north first on the pretext of recuperation, while Brandon had to wait until half a month later when Emperor Yan returned to the capital and ordered him to continue his southern tour before quietly going north.

He has taken a step ahead.

There will be countless more steps ahead.

Caleb lowered the bead curtain and opened the bloody and sadistic love story book again. He had almost read the book to pieces along the way, but he still felt it was not enough.

[Host, what are you doing? ]

"study."

What to learn?

"Learn how to make tea." Caleb has learned a lot from communicating with 233 these days. He read the book about Brandon's "pale face" and "pitiful appearance" when they first met, and nodded his chin, as if thinking about something.

【...】

Da da da!

Caleb looked up when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Suddenly, a man on a red horse leaped out from the yellow sand.

When passing the carriage, the man on the horse glanced at him sideways, then turned his head, raised his hand, and the scabbard of the sword in his hand flew out, knocking open the door of the inn, and the man and the horse rushed towards the inn.

The black sable cloak fluttered in the north wind.

During the brief moment of eye contact, Caleb only saw a pair of light golden eyes, as bright as the scorching sun in the desert.

Jasper.

"Young master, we're here." The man in white stopped the carriage and called out softly.

Caleb took the hat and put it on, then got off the carriage. The wind blew the sand past, and every breath he took smelled of sand.

He gathered the white rabbit fur cloak around his shoulders, walked towards Fengqi Inn and opened the door.

"Squeak---"

The strong smell of alcohol rushed over, choking him and making him cough.

His black hair was scattered, revealing the bulging pale neck, and his lowered head looked like a flower on a branch that might fall at any time.

"Young Master." Blake called out worriedly, took a few quick steps forward, and a jade pendant slipped out of his palm, "Madam, Si Nanyuan, my young master needs to rest."

Caleb had investigated Fengqi Inn in advance and had someone book a room for him.

Upon hearing the noise, the people in the inn stopped arguing at the same time. Some of them looked at each other and couldn't help but have evil thoughts.

This is really a pillow given to you when you feel sleepy.

What they were arguing about just now was that there was only one room left in the inn, and no one wanted to give in. If we kill this little fat sheep, there will be two rooms left.

Anyway, in this desert, you can kill but not bury. The strong will be killed, and the weak will eat sh!t. Even if the King of Hell comes, he has to abide by the rules of this desert!

Caleb naturally sensed the murderous intent that had not yet been unleashed. He stopped coughing, raised his eyes and calmly scanned the crowd. He only brought the white dress this time, not because she was pretty.

Until the sound of a bowl breaking.

Caleb heard the voice and looked over, meeting a pair of golden eyes.

Jasper smiled at him, pushed the plump lady boss away, stood up, pointed at the people around him and cursed, "Look at these wolves surrounding and watching, they are all thinking about how to swallow you into their stomachs."

He strode towards Caleb and said, "How about if you let me live with you in Sinan Garden, I will help you solve these problems?"

How could the leader of Hejia Village not be able to book a room? There was something fishy going on, but no matter what, this was a good thing that came to his doorstep.

Caleb was about to agree when he saw the plump proprietress approaching Jasper again, with her two fair arms around his neck, "Didn't I tell you that Lord Helian can live with me?"

The "ma" at the end is drawn out very long and delicately.

There was a hint of pleading in Jasper's eyes as he looked at Caleb.

Caleb chuckled.

Jasper, a playboy, a hero, a daring man with great courage and heroic spirit, is that it?
