Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm-Chapter 377 There Can Only Be One

"You are an ass; you know that right?" asked Wang Chao with a tired sigh. He hadn't slept in days, wanting to get here that much quicker so he could get his hands on the meds.

"I am well aware. In fact, I have been called much, much worse. But you were about to tell me how you got married without me knowing it," smirked Bin An Sha, not letting his friend off the hook for even a second. He could see how tired the other man was, so clearly, this was more important than he was letting on. "Does your wife even know?"

"Does she know what? Whether I am married or not? Oh yeah, she knows."

"Well, I guess that helps," smirked Bin An Sha, happy for his friend.

"Now, the meds?" asked Wang Chao. "I need to get going back. I left them in a bit of a lurch."

"I am sorry," said Bin An Sha, actually looking sorry. "But I won't be able to get my hands on them until tomorrow at the earliest. Why don't you tell me exactly why you need them so I know what dosage to give you?"

"The strongest dosage possible. And you won't believe me, even if I tell you," sighed Wang Chao as he rested his head against the backrest of the couch.

"Try me. You might be surprised," smirked Bin An Sha.

"I have a second soul inside of me that I need to kill off before I get back to my wife. He really hates her. But I don't know how to kill it-him right now, so I need the meds to at least shut him up or weaken him." Wang Chao looked at the man across from him. "What do you say? Do you believe me?"

Bin An Sha studied Wang Chao in front of him. "Can't be any worse than the voice in my head," he admitted. Wang Chao's eyes went wide at the other man's words. "What does your voice say?"

"Find the Queen, promise to never leave," said Bin An Sha, pulling a knife out of nowhere and started to twirl it between his fingers. "But I have no idea what it is talking about."

Wang Chao scoffed at his words, causing Bin An Sha to glare at him. Wang Chao might be a good friend, but that didn't mean that he would not hesitate to slit his throat if necessary.

'War!' growled War in the back of Wang Chao's mind. 'Kill him! He is going to take your place!'

Wang Chao was startled when he heard War's voice. 'How can there be two of you?' he demanded, but War remained stubbornly silent. Instead of pushing, he turned to Bin An Sha. "How close is your voice to the surface?"

The other man simply stared at Wang Chao and didn't answer him. However, this was too important for Wang Chao to back off. Bin An Sha might be the answer to all of his problems, even if it wasn't in the way he was expecting. "I can take you to the Queen, and you can tell her whatever you need to," pressed Wang Chao with a smile on his face.

'You wouldn't,' hissed War inside of his mind. 'You can't replace me!' 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢

'Watch me!' smirked Wang Chao. He needed to be War, it was the only way he could stay beside Li Dai Lu, but he didn't need to be this War.

"What's the catch?" asked a voice coming out of Bin An Sha's mouth, but the tone was all War.

"The catch is that you come into me and kill the part of you that is inside me," shrugged Wang Chao. Never in a million years did he think that he would be having a conversation like this. But that was the magic of his woman.

"You know it doesn't work like that, right?" continued the other voice coming out of Bin An Sha's mouth. "You have to absorb the soul inside of you in order to kill it. And Bin An Sha will have to absorb me. If you can't conquer us, do you really deserve your place next to the Queen? Don't forget that this is all our fault."

"Do you have any idea what it is talking about?" said Bin An Sha after a moment of internal struggle.

"Unfortunately, yes," grumbled Wang Chao.

'Told you; you can't get rid of me that easily,' sneered War, but there was definitely a note of relief in those words.

"And now that I know that the meds aren't going to work to shut up the voices, I am going to get back to Li Dai Lu," said Wang Chao standing up from the couch. Unfortunately for him, he was much too tired, and his body started to sway.

"I'll show you to the guest room," sighed Bin An Sha. "Something tells me that I am going to end up going with you."

"Fuck that you are," growled Wang Chao. "You don't know what is going on out there. How the Hell do you think that you are coming with me?"

Bin An Sha simply raised an eyebrow and looked at the other man. "We will discuss this in the morning."

"Fine," grumbled Wang Chao, understanding just how tired he really was. "But make no mistake; we will be discussing it in the morning."

Bin An Sha sat there and watched the other man stumbling down the hall toward the guest bedroom. After making sure that he was gone, Bin An Sha stood up and walked to the windows overlooking City A.

"All right, now that it is just the two of us, tell me what is going on." This was the first time he had ever acknowledged the voice that had been clamoring inside of his head for the past few months. "If we are going to get what you clearly want, then you need to tell me everything."

Only silence met his words, but Bin An Sha was nothing if not patient. 'Even if it means to kill a friend?' asked the voice in his mind. Bin An Sha's reflection took on a twisted smirk as it stared back at him. "What friend?"
