Chapter 99 Chapter 99 The Evil God Cries

Before Chen Run could see who was coming, his elbow had already hit him backwards.

A muffled groan soon came from behind, and Chi Shuangliu's voice was filled with faint anger: "You hit me for him?"

Chen Run took the opportunity to break free from his shackles and said in a rare sarcastic tone: "I thought I would never see you again, but it turns out you are at home."

Chi Shuangliu's momentum immediately weakened, his expression became somewhat embarrassed, and he turned his face away from her.

Chen Run didn't give him a chance to escape. He pinched his chin and forced his face to turn around: "You have to tell me clearly why you are avoiding me, otherwise there will be no end between us."

Chi Shuangliu pursed his lips, seeming to be very resistant to this question.

Chen Run refused to budge, staring at him intently.

The two stared at each other silently for a moment, and Chi Shuangliu was the first to give in: "...Don't you hate me?"

Chen Run was stunned for a moment. He lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze. "What that woman said is true..." He seemed to be having trouble speaking. "Superpowers are indeed the curse I bestowed upon humanity. I used the power of desire to grant humans superpowers, but along with them comes an irreversible genetic disease."

His tone gradually deepened. "...With the exposure of superpowers, the conflict between ordinary people and those with superpowers has continued to intensify. Haven't you always cared about these ordinary people?"

After the Giant Scorpion Queen told her the secret, Chi Shuangliu had only two words in her mind - it's over.

He couldn't imagine how much Shen Run would hate her after knowing it.

He was afraid to see her angry and disgusted eyes, afraid that she would say that she wanted to break up with him and abandon him completely, and even more afraid that he would be provoked and do something irreparable, so he chose to escape.

This was the first time he felt timid and frightened, the first time he felt uncomfortable because he was not human. He didn't even know how to face her - so he chose to escape and hide in the space in self-abandonment.

He thought he could hold on for a long time, but he completely lost control just by seeing her interacting with other men.

Shen Run finally figured out the root of the matter: "Because of this, do you think I will hate you?"

"Isn't that so? If you didn't want to see me, you would have been released a few days ago. Why haven't you come back to see me?"

Chi Shuangliu's lips moved, and a hint of frustration could not be restrained in his eyes.

"You can beat me, scold me, or even kill me, but you absolutely cannot leave me, and you cannot look for another man just because you are disappointed in me. Otherwise, I will, I will..." He tried to act superior and have the final say over life and death, but he found that he couldn't utter a threatening word. There was even a hint of pleading in his words: "I beg you, don't leave me, even if you stay and hurt me."

He wanted to control his facial expression, but after trying for a long time, he could only hide his sobs.

Chen Run has always believed that relationships should be based on equality. Seeing Chi Shuangliu's anxious look, she felt uncomfortable and even began to reflect on whether she had done something wrong.

Because she herself has experienced the feeling of being ignored and neglected, she does not want her lover to experience the same feeling.

She explained seriously, "I haven't been home these past two days because my unit has a lot of cases, and I really can't spare the time. You're not allowed to bring your phone with you when you're on a case, so I can't even try to contact you. It's not that I'm being mean." She pulled up the case closure materials and showed them to him, "Look, this is the most recent case closure from my unit. I've handled over a dozen cases in the past two or three days, so I haven't even had time to drink a sip of water."

The anxiety in Chi Shuangliu's eyes faded a little, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression tensed again: "You have been so busy recently because of the exposure of the superpowers, right? Now that you know that superpowers are my curse, you..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't dare to face the answer. He paused for a moment before speaking with difficulty: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Chen Run said: "In fact, I prefer to make up for it with actions rather than words. I have been working overtime day and night recently, isn't it just to make up for our mistakes?"

Chi Shuangliu's expression gradually became confused: "Our mistake?"

"Yes," Shen Run nodded, "We are a couple, right? If you make a mistake, it's my mistake. All I can do is try my best to make up for the loss."

First of all, she was definitely against Chi Shuangliu's practice of cursing all mankind, but since she had the body of half a god, Shen Run began to see the problem from his perspective. He was eaten and suppressed by humans, and after being released, he wanted to take revenge on humans. This was logically reasonable.

But it was different from what Chi Nu imagined. As long as Chi Shuangliu stopped actively harming humans, Chen Run would no longer have any resentment towards him. On the contrary, she believed that this was a mistake that both of them should bear together.

She counted on her fingers, "Let's not talk about anything else. I was able to obtain superpowers without side effects thanks to you. Yan Xunqing was even shocked at why I had no genetic diseases after awakening my superpowers. Later, I was killed by Chi Nu, and it was thanks to you that I was able to be resurrected intact. I can't be so self-righteous when I enjoy the benefits, and then put the blame on you when I encounter problems, accusing you from a moral high ground. That's really shameless."

Chi Shuangliu looked at her steadily: "I don't mind you doing this, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"That's not how it works," she said seriously. "Because of your strength, I've gained enormous benefits, but also because of your strength, irreversible consequences have occurred. So I have to share the responsibility with you. After the unrest is resolved, I will confess this to the patrol team. They can kill me or chop me up as they please, but what I want to say is that I have no right to resent or blame you for this matter. You did something bad, and I'm not that clean either."

Chi Shuangliu moved his lips and looked at her blankly, as if he didn't know what to say.

After a moment's silence, he pulled her into his arms, his strength so great that his arms almost dug into her flesh.

His eyes were unusually calm and bright, even with a beast-like excitement.

Not only did she not resent him, she also took the initiative to tell him that they were one.

Receiving such a strong emotional response, Chi Shuangliu was instantly filled with great joy.

Chen Run patted his shoulder without giving him time to feel touched: "Is there any way to lift this curse of yours?" To this day, she still feels that superpowers are not a good thing for humans.

"If it's the complete me, then yes." Chi Shuangliu said with an awkward expression, "When I cast the curse, I used the power of the meteorite.

Things fell into a vicious circle again. If Chi Shuangliu wanted to restore his strength, he had to swallow enough resources, so the entire earth would not be enough for him to swallow. If he did not restore his strength, he would not be able to lift the curse for mankind.

Chen Run could only skip this topic: "There is something I have been curious about for a long time. Since your curse is aimed at humans, why do so many animals, plants, and a wide range of objects on Earth also mutate?"

"That has nothing to do with me," Chi Shuangliu said. "It was the meteor shower that caused the animals, plants, and other objects to mutate, so their abilities are completely different from those of human psychics."

I don't know what he was thinking about, but his eyes suddenly lit up: "If it weren't for me, humans wouldn't have gained superpowers, nor would they be able to fight against those mutated animals and plants. So, looking at it this way, it was me who saved all of humanity, and humans should be grateful to me." As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, appearing to be really righteous.

In a sense, he really did mean well with bad intentions... But Chen Run couldn't help but hit him again: "Don't flatter yourself so much, you act like you're a savior."

She changed the subject and returned to the original question: "Let's not discuss the curse itself. Why do you think the Giant Scorpion Queen said this before she died?"

After his emotions stabilized, Chi Shuangliu's intelligence began to return. He said firmly, "Chi Nu asked her to do this, or maybe Chi Nu attached a part of her spiritual power to her and borrowed her body to tell you this secret."

He unraveled the mystery and quickly saw the essence of the problem: "In his opinion, after you learn the truth, there will definitely be a rift between you and me, and even hatred between us. This will give him an opportunity to take advantage."

Chen Run frowned. "You mean... he's coming for me?" She looked puzzled. "But he's already taken my godly bloodline, so why would he come after me?"

"It seems you don't know much about the realm of gods. The difference between gods and powerful beings is that gods hold 'authority,' while the authority held by Chi Nu must be related to the cycle of life." Chi Shuangliu looked at her: "Do you know how you were resurrected?"

"I don't know why, but after I died, my soul didn't disappear. It was pulled by a force and attached to our egg..." Her expression gradually became clear: "Could it be..."

Chi Shuangliu nodded and said, "During your battle with Chi Nu, you used your supernatural plundering skills and stole some of Chi Nu's authority. That's why you were able to be resurrected in your own bloodline like him."

Chen Run gradually sorted out her thoughts: "Because I took away some of his authority, his godhood ceremony failed?" She suddenly realized: "No wonder he hasn't become a god yet, and is still hiding and plotting behind the scenes."

"If that's the case, then things will be easy. We can pretend to break up and then lure Chi Nu to attack me. That way, he'll show up, and then we can..."

She was talking excitedly to herself and didn't notice that Chi Shuangliu's expression was getting uglier and uglier.

"I disagree."

Chi Shuangliu's voice became harsh and sharp, with an anxious tremor.

The scene of her being killed by Chi Nu almost killed him, and it also became one of the major sources of his recent anxiety and emotional outburst. He would never accept Chen Run using him as bait to lure Chi Nu.

When he was overly excited, he would always reveal some inhuman traits, just like now. His mouth kept expanding, and a huge crack appeared in his chest and abdomen. The tentacles inside were faintly visible, as if he was planning to eat Chen Run again - this was the only way he could feel safe hiding.

Shen Run quickly patted his back to comfort him: "Don't get excited, don't get excited."

She changed her tone to one of soothing a child: "Look, Chi Nu can't die. He's hiding as much as he can like a mole. We won't be able to find him for a while. As long as he's alive, I'll be in constant fear. We might as well find a way to solve the problem once and for all. Can you bear to see a sword hanging over my head?"

It’s useless to talk to Chi Shuangliu about the big principles for the stability of the earth and the harmony of mankind. We can only start from the things that he cares about most.

Chi Shuangliu's expression became a little more normal, but his face was still ugly.

Chen Run continued, "Besides, I won't fight him alone. You can ambush nearby. As soon as he shows up, we can take him down. That way, I won't be in any danger. Is that okay with you? I promise you, I'll retreat if there's any danger, and I'll never leave you."

Chi Shuangliu's lips moved slightly, neither agreeing nor denying, but just turning his face away angrily.

Shen Run knew that he had agreed.

So the next question is, how should they act out the breakup so that the old monster Chi Nu will believe it?
