Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Desire

Shen Run felt that he still needed to verify it.

Just at this moment, Chi Shuangliu had already prepared the meal and brought it up, which included four dishes, a soup, and a cup of particularly healthy freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice. She leaned over to take a look and saw that the earthenware jar was filled with steaming red date and mutton soup.

Chen Run swallowed hard, trying to pull his eyes out of the jar, and then he started to make a strange noise: "Why do we need to make mutton soup?"

Chi Shuangliu stirred it with a spoon and served her a bowl: "Didn't you like eating mutton very much in the past?"

"The past is the past, and the present is the present." Chi Shuangliu's cooking skills are now superb, and the soup is so delicious that it is hard to describe.

Chen Run tried not to look at the soup bowl and deliberately used a sly tone: "I feel sick just by smelling the strong smell of mutton now."

"Okay." The mutton was cleaned. Chi Shuangliu had specifically chosen the mutton from the horizontal side, which had almost no flavor. However, he didn't argue further. He changed his chopsticks and helped her clean the mutton in the bowl. He also added red dates and yam. "Drink it while it's hot. Be careful if it gets cold."

"Is that all? It still smells the same. I don't want to drink this soup anymore. Please change it for me." Chen Run looked like a bully, making Chi Shuangliu act like a farmhand under her, making trouble in various ways.

Chi Shuangliu stood up and headed to the kitchen as if he had lost his temper. "What do you want to drink?"

"...Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it has to be cooked over a good old fire."

Even Shen Run himself couldn't stand this, but he couldn't help but want to see how far Chi Shuangliu could endure.

Chi Shuangliu frowned slightly, his heart in his throat, waiting for him to lose his temper.

"...I've never made this dish before, so it might take me a while to prepare." He reached out and touched Chen Run's face, his tone becoming gentler. "I'll have Cao Xun deliver the ingredients first. It'll probably take a few hours, so I'll try to be quick. You should eat first. Don't wait on an empty stomach, okay?"

After he finished speaking, his Adam's apple rolled and a hint of enjoyment appeared on his face.

Unlike human male thinking, he did not think that Chen Run was being unreasonable. Instead, he enjoyed her various needs for him and even more enjoyed satisfying her needs.

And when she slapped him before, he was not angry at all, he was even so excited that he almost lost control.

She would never treat others so rudely, but would show her violent and capricious nature only in front of him. He extremely enjoyed this 'special treatment' that was different from others.

Chen Run: “…”

She was speechless as she looked at Chi Shuangliu's expression which showed a hint of secret joy.

Look how obvious it is, she must have been blind not to see it before!

No, in fact, she should have had a premonition a long time ago. The answer lies in his hesitation when he wanted to kill her several times but couldn't do it, and in the meticulous details he took care of her.

She remembered that a long time ago, when she didn't know Chi Shuangliu's true identity, cockroaches with twin ponytails often appeared in this rental house. Sometimes she could even see two twin ponytail whiskers in her sneakers. But since Chi Shuangliu came, every inch of the house was clean and tidy.

Even if she is useful, there is no need for Chi Shuangliu to go to this extent, right?

Chen Run's palms felt hot and his heart began to beat eagerly.

If Chi Shuangliu truly loved her, could she try to redeem his deeply distorted values? Could she get him to accept human morality, at least so he wouldn't hate humans so much? Could she even try to stop him before he caused irreversible consequences?

Although this sounds ridiculous, she has no other tricks, and she can't beat Chi Shuangliu.

She began to seriously consider the possibility of developing a relationship.

Less than twenty minutes later, the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that Chi Shuangliu needed arrived. However, the person who came was not Cao Xun, but Lu Kuo. He obviously had something to say. While Chi Shuangliu was preparing the ingredients in the kitchen, he whispered, "We have a clue about the third meteorite."

Chi Shuangliu's fingers handled the ingredients gracefully, and he glanced up at him casually: "Oh?"

Unlike Cao Xun, who was accustomed to seeing him behave in this way, this was the first time Lu Kuo had seen him behave so virtuously. After a while of adjusting to his demeanor, he said, "We'll spread the word on the black market for people with special abilities..."

He stopped talking halfway and glanced at Chen Run in the living room, not knowing whether he should continue.

Chi Shuangliu had no intention of hiding anything. He used a small brush to brush the top-grade wild abalone without even looking up. “Continue.”

Lu Kuo then said, "The Darwin Cult contacted us before, and they confirmed today that they can provide a meteorite weighing approximately two tons." He whispered, "I saw the photo. Although the meteorite is huge, its internal density is very high, so its volume is very small. So I speculate that the meteorite in the hands of the Darwin Cult must contain a lot of energy. It is an absolute treasure and should not be missed."

Chi Shuangliu's face was expressionless: "Hmm." He looked at Lu Kuo: "What conditions did they offer?"

Lu Kuo had originally looked down on Shen Run for his love-crazy behavior, but he hadn't expected him to react so sharply. He didn't dare to entertain any more thoughts and quickly said, "They're still following the old rules. They'll hold an auction, and the highest bidder wins. Besides that, they've also proposed cooperation. But we're just doing business after all, and we've lost quite a few of our psychics. I'm afraid we can't deal with such a terrorist organization. We might need you to be there in person to coordinate..."

He looked at Chi Shuangliu: "What do you think...?"

Chi Shuangliu didn't hesitate: "Okay."

Lu Kuo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, we will take a private plane to Thailand."

After receiving Chi Shuangliu's agreement, Lu Kuo respectfully said his last goodbye and left. Chen Run couldn't sit still when she heard the word 'Darwin'. As soon as Lu Kuo left, she couldn't wait to ask Chi Shuangliu, "Do you really want to cooperate with Darwin?"

Chi Shuangliu looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Shen Run frowned, his face full of disapproval: "They have done a lot of bad things and are a notorious terrorist organization."

Although she didn't know the specific content of the cooperation between Darwin and Sun Umbrella, it was definitely not a good thing. If Darwin could get the help of the evil god, his destructive power would probably increase tenfold. She didn't want Darwin to get what he wanted at all.

When she learned that Chi Shuangliu agreed to cooperate with this terrorist organization without hesitation, not to mention that this terrorist organization had once hunted her, she felt a chill in her heart - she began to doubt whether Chi Shuangliu had the feelings for her that she had imagined.

Chi Shuangliu raised his eyebrows, and the thickest tentacle broke through the air and waved it in front of her deliberately: "Are you afraid of me?"

Chen Run: “…”

She was silent for a moment, then tentatively said, "I don't think you should cooperate with them."

Chi Shuangliu paused and said in a deliberately mocking tone: "Why?

Chen Run fell silent again.

Apart from Chi Shuangliu's special feelings for her, she had no bargaining chips.

She thought about it and decided to play it straight: "Okay, let me put it another way. I don't want you to cooperate with them."

She raised her head, but this time she didn't kiss his lips. Instead, she kissed the proud purple-black tentacle.

The tip of the tentacle looks like an open mouth, and feels very strange and a bit slippery.

"Trade this."

Chi Shuangliu took a step back suddenly, hit his lower back on the sink, and almost fell down in embarrassment.

She kissed his body!!

He had to suppress himself desperately to prevent himself from screaming like a girl.

His Adam's apple made a few strange swallowing sounds, and he turned his head away from him, saying with some difficulty: "Do you think this trick will work on me?"

He tried to regain his composure.

Why did she dare to oppose his decision so bluntly? And why did she think that a mere kiss would make him compromise?

Even though he has fallen in love with Chen Run, he will not put love before freedom.

He allowed Chen Run to know his plan, not because he trusted her enough, but because he had absolute confidence in controlling her, so when Lu Kuo signaled just now, he did not hide his intention from her.

He knew that Darwin and Shen Run had had conflicts before, but it didn't matter. Everyone on this earth would die anyway, no matter whether it was a terrorist organization or a charity organization. In the end, Shen Run would be the only living human being left in the entire universe. She had to adapt to this, and he would not compromise no matter what.

Chi Shuangliu gradually calmed down and looked at him with a cold expression.

Whether Chi Shuangliu really liked her or was just fascinated by her scent, Chen Run had no idea how much influence this feeling would have on him.

Seeing his cold reaction, she suddenly wilted: "Is it useless?"

She could only think again, trying to find out if there were any other tricks.

"..." Chi Shuangliu was silent for a while, and his tentacles were eager to hug her, but he forced them back into the space.

He turned his face away: "You can come with me, I give you the right to express your opinions."

His voice was muffled, and he seemed angry at himself for compromising over a kiss.

......

Chi Shuangliu did not have an ID card and could not take a plane. Fortunately, he had been in contact with Darwin for more than half a month. Lu Kuo had a hunch that he might need to go to Thailand this time, so he booked a flight to Thailand in advance and arrived in Phuket in more than three hours.

This is a famous resort in Thailand, with azure sky and blue sea, and beautiful scenery. The sea water is as clear and blue as jelly, and tropical vegetation can be seen everywhere. However, Chen Run has no intention of appreciating the scenery. He is still thinking about Chi Shuangliu's compromise. Does this mean... this trick works?

Although she failed to make him give up his cooperation plan with Darwin, at least she gained a certain degree of freedom. Perhaps the plan to purify the big devil would be possible, her mind immediately came alive.

Chi Shuangliu was sulking with himself and ignored everyone the whole day, but when he got off the plane, he subconsciously held her hand.

This famous Asian tourist country has been completely controlled by the Darwins and has become their base. They are very powerful, and it is said that there are S and S+ level psychics in charge. Even the Thai royal family and the entire government have to obey their orders.

As soon as the group got off the plane, they saw Darwin's people waiting at the private airport in a car. It was called protection, but it was actually supervision, because as soon as they met them, they sent people with special abilities and special ability inspection equipment to search them.

In addition to Lu Kuo and his group, there were other wealthy people from all over the world at the airport. These people showed no restraint when searching people. Their movements were rough and violent, and they would even take the opportunity to molest women. Only when they stuffed enough US dollars into people's pockets would their attitude become slightly better.

Even a world-famous capitalist like Lu Kuo had no special privileges. It was just that the leader was a little more polite and politely asked for an inspection.

Lu Kuo glanced at Chi Shuangliu and saw that he had no objection, then nodded in agreement - no one could detect Chi Shuangliu, and Chen Run had hidden abilities, so there was no need to worry about this inspection.

The inspector's eyes turned to Chi Shuangliu, and then glanced at Chen Run, the only woman in the team, but because of Lu Kuo, he didn't dare to do anything. After the inspection, he took out a few eye masks and motioned everyone to wear them, then drove them to the auction place.

The two vans drove for over an hour before stopping. Shen Run took off her blindfold and saw dense tropical vegetation and a huge development park. What surprised her was that the park was only surrounded by a circle of white walls with a layer of barbed wire on top. Apart from that, there were no other means of protection, not even a patrolman.

This is Darwin's base? Isn't that a bit too hasty?

Lu Kuo obviously had the same question and looked at the leader: "Doesn't your base have any protective measures?"

The leader smiled mysteriously, said nothing, raised his hand and pointed, signaling them to look at the wall.

When a group of people walked over to take a look, they saw that the white wall was covered with dense mycelium, which was still wriggling and winding, as if it had life.

A security guard of a wealthy man touched the hyphae with his hand out of curiosity. The hyphae immediately climbed up his fingers, penetrated into the surface of his skin, and densely wrapped him. The whole process lasted less than two seconds. The security guard was devoured and decomposed by a pile of hyphae, leaving no bone residue.

The mycelium squirmed greedily for a while, as if it wanted to continue stretching and devouring, but as if it received some instruction, it slowly retreated back to the wall.

Such a horrifying scene made many people scream. The leader laughed loudly and led everyone into the largest factory building in the park. This seemed to be an auction hall with a huge display stand in the middle. The exhibition hall was a downward staircase structure with dozens of rows of seats rising one after another. Even the seats in the last row could clearly see the exhibits on the display stand.

The leader introduced in broken English: "This is the exhibition hall where the auction will be held tomorrow. Let me show you around first."

He led everyone on a tour of the exhibition hall. In the center was an ordinary glass case, locked inside which was a mushroom-like object. The leader grinned and said, "This is the mother of the mycelium you saw outside."

Chen Run couldn't help but ask, "You're just putting something this important out there on display? Aren't you afraid it'll get stolen?"

The leader laughed heartily. "Sweet, it's an S+-level mutant. We've modified it through technology and it's evolved once again. We've put a lot of effort into coexisting peacefully with it. Before, a hostile force recklessly tried to steal it, and ended up using the entire gang as its food."

"Even among mutants, its abilities are very unique. Furthermore, it can reproduce infinitely, making it nearly immortal. As long as it exists, no one can bring down the Darwin Cult."

Chen Run curled his lips and was about to speak when he saw Chi Shuangliu staring at the mycelium thoughtfully, and the slight fear on his face disappeared in an instant.

She couldn't help but take a closer look, but was afraid that Chi Shuangliu would notice, so she tried to look away as if nothing had happened.

The leader clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. "The auction starts tomorrow. It's already late, so I'll take you all to the dormitories in the back to rest for the night. Ladies and gentlemen, please remember one thing—you can't walk around the park at will. Okay, follow me."

He took everyone to the dormitory at the back. Lu Kuo was worried that Chi Shuangliu didn't understand the rules of human auctions, so he called him out to tell him some precautions.

When Chi Shuangliu came back, Chen Run was taking a shower in the bathroom. The sound of the water made his body temperature continue to rise - it must be because the weather in Thailand was too hot.

He completely ignored the fact that his body temperature was not affected by the weather. He pursed his lips, stepped back, and stood by the window farthest from the bathroom.

The window faced a small tropical forest. The air was pleasant and the cool breeze seemed to dispel some of the heat from his body. Suddenly, a strange noise came from the forest, and two figures who appeared out of nowhere entangled and rolled into the grass.

Both of them had insect symbols on their wrists, indicating that they were all Darwin's men. Chen Run thought they were having an internal quarrel, but when he took a quick glance, he heard the friction of clothes being taken off and the groaning of men and women in the woods.

Chi Shuangliu was no stranger to human reproductive behavior and frowned in disgust.

He opened his arms and was about to close the window when the sound of washing in the bathroom stopped. She seemed to be wiping herself with a towel, and the sound of fabric and skin rubbing against each other penetrated his ears.

He couldn't help but have some fantasies, and even began to imagine that the people entangled in the grass were him and Shen Run.

The evil beast began to stir.

Chi Shuangliu looked painful.

"Wow!" The bathroom door opened, and Chen Run came out, wearing a loose T-shirt and wiping his hair. "Hey, you're back."

She heard voices outside: "What's going on outside? Are they fighting?"

She said as she came over to check.

Chi Shuangliu: "..."

This must have been the worst moment of his life.

His back was stiff and he didn't dare to turn around: "It's nothing, you go to sleep first."

He felt very uncomfortable down there, but he didn't know how to relieve the pain. He even wanted to beg her to help him.

Chen Run didn't think much about it. After using his supernatural power to dry his hair, he slipped into bed.

Chi Shuangliu still maintained that position without moving, his posture stiff and tense. She lay there for a while, feeling something strange, and couldn't help staring at him for a few seconds.

From top to bottom, she finally discovered his secret, the hard outline almost breaking free.

The two of them had lived together for so long, but Chi Shuangliu had never shown any impulse in that regard. In Shen Run's mind, Chi Shuangliu was reproductively isolated from humans, and even if he had feelings for her, they were pure love.

She couldn't bear the shock and her mind went blank.

The next moment, Chi Shuangliu turned around unexpectedly and looked her in the eye.

There was desire and longing in his eyes that he couldn't hide, dirty and hot, almost burning her to death.
