Chapter 595, Contaminated Zone 6 (19)

The moment it was grabbed, the hand instantly gained a tangible feel.

Seemingly not expecting him to do this, her hand tensed up suddenly, her knuckles turning bluish-white.

The red light from the crack in the door flickered violently, as if it were an outward expression of some emotion. Then, a sharp screech exploded from behind the door.

The dark matter scattered and began to spread from Xie Tu's wrist to his body.

Xie Tu held on tightly, his fingers almost digging into the other person's bones.

He exerted force with his wrist, trying to pull the creature out from behind the door.

The knuckles turned white from the force, but the wrist remained motionless, as if it were one with the entire iron gate.

The dark matter had spread to his arm.

"Ah, it hurts so much!" The fire phoenix cried out as it circled above the abyss.

Xie Tu pulled an inhibitor out of his pocket with his other hand, and just when everyone thought he was going to inject himself, Xie Tu suddenly stabbed at the pale hand.

A piercing scream came from behind the door, the entire iron door trembled violently, and more black mist gushed out from the gaps.

Suddenly, a chilling spiritual force pierced his temple through the point of contact.

The scene before my eyes suddenly distorted, and the picture unfolded without warning.

Sunlight streamed through the carved window frames and fell on the floor covered with a cashmere carpet.

Xie Tu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw six-year-old Yun Zhao wearing a tutu and standing with her hands on her hips in a pile of toys.

The little leather shoes impatiently kicked away the toy the nanny robot had just brought, her cheeks puffed out like a little pufferfish. "This robot is so stupid! Get a different one!"

The screen changes.

Xiao Yunzhao swung her legs as she sat in the living room, where a nanny robot was feeding her.

The television was showing footage of Yun Jue.

"Dad has some things to take care of, but he'll be back to pick you up soon. You stay here quietly, and no one will be able to find you..."

"Liar! Daddy is a liar!"

Xiao Yunzhao refused to eat, angrily jumped off the stool, and drove her toy car through the deserted streets to vent her frustration.

The dark matter climbed even faster, almost wrapping around his neck.

The hand being held suddenly began to burn, and the hiss behind the door turned into a low, seductive whisper: "Look, how adorable... She should always be like this."

Xie Tu's fingertips began to tremble.

He saw Xiao Yunzhao put the cake on the robot's head and chuckle to herself behind the curtains; he saw her sitting with her knees drawn up in front of the huge French windows, looking out at the empty manor, and whispering, "Nobody plays with me."

Scenes flashed by one after another.

As time passed, the barrier left by Yun Jue gradually became unable to suppress the power of the polluted area.

Occasionally, monsters would wander into her territory.

She went from being scared at first to looking disgusted later.

"Trash, garbage..."

"Let go," the voice said with an eerie gentleness. "She's safe here. You shouldn't have dragged her into your battlefield."

Xie Tu felt a sharp pain in his hand; the other hand was taking the opportunity to break free.

He bit his tongue hard, and the taste of blood dispelled the hallucination.

The creature at the door is trying to control him.

Xie Tu possessed astonishing willpower, refusing to let go, his eyes coldly fixed on the door behind him. "Mental traction?"

The hand suddenly froze.

Without saying a word, Xie Tu seized the opportunity and suddenly pulled the door open.

The woman behind the door revealed her true face.

The woman, who looked no more than twenty years old, was wearing a faded, old-fashioned dress with dark red stains on the hem.

Her face was very white, the kind of porcelain white that never sees the light, but her features were so exquisite they were almost eerie.

I remember Yun Zhao once said that.

In the fragments of Little Bluebird's memory, when Yun Jue took her away as an infant, a woman's hysterical scream came from behind.

"Who are you?"

Xie Tu's eyes turned bloodshot, but he remained rational. "What is your relationship with Yun Zhao?"

The woman grinned. "What? Afraid she'll blame you if you kill me?"

Xie Tu: "Mm."

His answer was so straightforward that the woman stared at him for a while. "You're quite good, but unfortunately, Yun Jue will probably kill you."

"That man wouldn't like a sentry who ran off with his daughter."

Xie Tu: "Do you know where Yun Jue is?"

"I know," the woman said. "I've gone back to Mistweaving Star."

"Mist-woven Star?"

Woman: "Yes, it's shrouded in an eternal mist. It's Yun Zhao's hometown, and also... the hometown of dark matter."

The woman looked at him and said, "The micro-nano structure of dark matter will produce a unique reaction to each type of DNA. Any organism that comes into contact with it will undergo mutation, and depending on the species, the mutation will also produce different directions."

"Yun Jue took his child to find his wife, but during the jump, the spacecraft malfunctioned and he was forced to land on this unknown planet. He found that the planet had been occupied by dark matter, so he told some information to the natives."

"He's going back to kill someone, to kill the black marketeer who helped him modify the aircraft. He'll leave once the aircraft is fixed. He said he'll come back to pick up his daughter after he's done killing him."

The woman chuckled. "She hasn't come back. She's probably been arrested."

"Oh, you probably don't know, he's a wanted criminal in interstellar space, probably sitting in an interstellar prison, waiting for his wife to rescue him..."

"If they find out he's lost his daughter, there's no way his wife will save him." The woman said with a hint of schadenfreude.

She probably hadn't found anyone to chat with in a long time, so she kept talking non-stop, completely oblivious to the fact that she was still in Xie Tu's hands.

Xie Tu was processing what the woman had said.

"Since he wanted to go back, why did he leave Yun Zhao behind?"

“Yun Zhao is different from you. She was injected with antibodies at birth, but due to the stimulation of dark matter, she awakened her abilities prematurely. The treatment pod is broken and cannot suppress her power, so Yun Jue has no choice but to leave her here.”

The woman's face immediately turned cold. "That madman is worried about his daughter, so he trapped me here too."

Why should she be reduced to a nanny looking after children?

That kid is a little devil, he enjoys messing with the nanny robot all day long.

She's just as detestable as her father.

She ran out without a word; she still had to help search. Otherwise, if Yun Jue found out, that madman would definitely kill her.

"What is your relationship with Yun Jue?" Xie Tu asked again.

The woman rolled her eyes. "Can't you understand human language? If you do, that madman will take you to watch the kids."

Xie Tu: "So, you're the gatekeeper for number six?"

It has a very high level of self-awareness, just like a normal person, but its whole body is covered in dark matter, so it cannot be a living person.

The woman slowly grinned, revealing a chilling smile. "Yes, one of the gatekeepers."

one?

Xie Tu was unaware of the clues Xia Mingang had obtained.

Hearing the woman's words, he guessed that the situation in the No. 6 contaminated zone was complicated.

His knife moved faster than his thoughts.

"Zheng—!"

The Tang sword flashed with a cold light, and amidst the whistling sound of the blade tearing through the air, a black line instantly appeared on the woman's neck.

Unfortunately, the woman was unharmed.

The dark materials quickly healed the wound on her neck.

She stared wide-eyed in astonishment, seemingly not expecting Xie Tu to suddenly launch an attack.

"You want to kill me?!"

A woman's shrill voice rang out, "I've already told you, and you still want to kill me!"

"Do you think I'm easy to fool?" Xie Tu raised the knife again, this time aiming straight for his heart.

The woman's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, full of loopholes.

How could Yun Jue possibly just grab a stranger to look after the child? Besides, in Yun Zhao's memory, there was no woman at all.

Xie Tu's gaze darkened, and he asserted, "You killed her eight uncles."

If Yun Zhao saw her, he would surely take her life.

Since that's the case, why don't he take the initiative?
