Chapter 821 Chapter 16: Time and Fate
There was no expression on the girl's face, as if her existence was only for killing.
Her movements were fluid and graceful, each step carrying deadly threat, like a flash of lightning across the night sky.
The saber in her hand drew streaks of cold light in the air, and every swing brought a deadly chill.
Yin Qi gradually began to lose the upper hand in the hand-to-hand combat.
The saber and dagger collided in the air, making a crisp metallic sound.
Every confrontation was filled with sparks, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
"You are not just any...experimental subject."
During a close combat, Yin Qi noticed Sasha's pupils. The golden color gave her a familiar feeling.
But unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to communicate with her.
The moment Yin Qi lost his balance with a downward kick, the saber came right after.
Yin Qi twisted his body forcefully the moment he landed, avoiding the downward thrust of the saber while kicking the girl's delicate calf, causing her to lose her balance and half-kneel on the ground.
At the same time, Yin Qi raised his legs and strangled the girl's neck as accurately and swiftly as a poisonous snake.
She dropped the dagger and grabbed the girl's hand holding the saber.
"Tell me, what on earth are you?"
The temporary stalemate between the two gave Yin Qi the opportunity to question her.
But what she always thought about was that this girl was incredibly strong. Even when her joints were twisted and her neck was twisted and she couldn't exert any strength, she actually used the strength of her waist and abdomen to force herself to stand up again.
Then the girl lifted Yin Qi high up and slammed her hard onto a container nearby.
Yin Qi's back suffered a severe impact. She loosened her hands, but her body was extremely flexible. She used the recoil of the impact to move around behind the girl like a dragon and locked her neck and hands from behind again.
As the girl struggled violently, Yin Qi kicked her on the leg.
But this time the girl didn't kneel down, and Yin Qi felt like he had kicked a stone.
Then, she felt something was wrong.
This girl's body... is releasing a strange energy that is so powerful that it is terrifying.
And this energy is very familiar to her...
Li Muhan...Bal...?
Boom——
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck towards where the two were.
Although Yin Qi let go and dodged immediately, the thunder still hit her left shoulder.
In an instant, Yin Qi felt the entire left half of her body numb. She fell to the ground and almost lost her ability to fight.
The man with the slicked-back hair had lost too much blood and fainted.
Yin Qi gritted her teeth, knowing she couldn't let this clue die here, but this suddenly appearing experimental subject...why did he have Baal's power...
The black shadow gradually enveloped Yin Qi's body, and she realized that the girl was now in front of her.
"......enemy."
The girl grasped the saber, which was wrapped in thunder.
"Must...annihilate..."
Swish——
The saber stabbed fiercely at Yin Qi's back.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and grasped the saber at the critical moment.
"Oh my god..."
Li Muhan looked at Yin Qi, then at Sasha: "What are you doing?"
When she heard Li Muhan's voice, Yin Qi relaxed a little, and she spoke to Li Muhan tremblingly.
"...that man...save him...he is...the only...clue..."
After saying this, Yin Qi fell into a faint.
Li Muhan gently snatched the saber from Sasha's hand.
And Sasha also recognized Li Muhan at this moment.
She was only wearing pajamas and barefoot, looking at Li Muhan with some confusion.
Li Muhan looked at her helplessly, then sighed.
...
...
Looking at the sharp and scary saber placed on the desk, Zuo Chi kept rubbing his temples, looking very tired.
Sasha stood in front of the desk with her hands behind her back, like a child who had done something wrong.
"You were sleeping well, why did you go out?"
Zuo Chi said coldly.
"I...I heard...gunshots and smelled...blood. The enemy is too close. I need to protect...Zuo Chi..."
"I don't need your protection, and you didn't protect anyone. Instead, you seriously injured a member of the Special Management Bureau."
Zuo Chi tapped the table with his hand and spoke in a serious tone.
"I've already told you, Sasha Veronia, what I need here are nurses. Since you don't have the expertise, you can be a caregiver or a cleaner. Any job is fine. But what I don't need here are assassins, soldiers, or... weapons."
Sasha's body trembled, and her wolf ears drooped down in frustration, sticking close to her hair. She looked as if she was completely afraid to speak.
"Okay."
Li Muhan pushed the door open, picked up Zuo Chi's cigarette on the table, lit it, and then opened the window.
"Now at least we know one thing: she is indeed a very dangerous weapon."
His words made Zuo Chi frown.
"so what?"
Zuo Chi asked back.
"She can't stay here any longer."
Sasha understood this.
She was a little scared and a little regretful, but she didn't understand what she had done.
"I...will change...I will definitely, definitely not make the same mistake again...Please, please don't...throw me away..."
Zuo Chi raised his hand and asked Sasha not to speak for the time being, then he stood up and looked at Li Muhan.
"Are you saying this to me as the head of the Intelligence Section of the Special Management Bureau, or as my friend?"
Li Muhan smiled, leaned against the window, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth.
"It's all right. I just know that she is a dangerous weapon."
"...Li Muhan."
Zuo Chi frowned.
"Doesn't Professor Zuo also find her annoying? I'll give you a chance." Li Muhan threw a document on the table: "Sign her, and I'll take her away."
Zuo Chi did not look at the document, but subconsciously stood in front of Sasha.
"She is a patient, not a weapon. She needs guidance."
"A weapon that could potentially harm others needs to be controlled, right?"
"I'll restrain her."
"Oh?" Li Muhan raised an eyebrow. "It's only been a week, and you're willing to be her guarantor?"
Guarantor, what an official word.
But Zuo Chi didn't want to argue with Li Muhan about this right now: "I'm willing to be her guarantor."
"Therefore, any mistakes she makes must be blamed on you, Professor Zuo. You finally managed to escape from the Special Management Bureau. Do you know what this means now?"
"It means you'll put me on a leash again."
Dog leash......
Li Muhan did not answer immediately, but slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
I see.......
Is this how I treated Lin Ze when she first came to see me?
Sasha huddled behind Zuo Chi. She didn't know what the two were talking about, but she could feel that she must have made a serious mistake, and Zuo Chi seemed to be protecting her.
"Are you truly confident that you can control this weapon? No matter what happens, you will not abandon her. You will face it with her and bear any consequences that may arise?"
"I told you, Li Muhan."
Zuo Chi emphasized: "She is not a weapon, she is a patient, and as a doctor, I will do it."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Li Muhan extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray: "As you wish."
Then he patted Zuo Chi's shoulder and walked towards the door.
"Your documents."
Zuo Chi reminded.
"This is the document for you. It's about Sasha. I came here today just to give you the document. I have to say, you're really easy to fool."
Li Muhan walked towards the door with a smile, then looked back at Sasha.
"Sasha Veronia."
"arrive....!"
Sasha turned and looked at Li Muhan with a look of horror on her face.
"Relax, you're absolutely safe here. You just saw it. Professor Zuo will definitely protect you."
After Li Muhan left, Zuo Chi looked at the document on the table.
"...You're really becoming more and more like Lin Ze, Li Muhan. You're not suited to being a bad guy at all... You're a good guy at heart."
The file's name reads "Sasha's Work Experience Investigation Results."
After sending Yin Qi to the medical department, Li Muhan walked home alone.
"Hey...Xia Yue, you're still awake."
I can't sleep if you don't come home
"I'll be right back, where are the kids?"
[I went to bed early...I'm also very sleepy]
"Then go to sleep first."
[No...I'll wait for you to come home]
After hanging up the phone, Li Muhan smiled helplessly.
Am I becoming more and more like Lin Ze? Probably, becoming more cunning and less candid.
But because of this, he could probably understand Lin Ze's feelings at that time.
"Alas~ It's fate~"
Li Muhan hummed a little tune as he walked on his way home.
...
...
Early the next morning.
Zuo Chi asked Sasha to hand over all her weapons.
Sabres, daggers, needles and poison.
"Do you have any other weapons?"
It was just a tentative question at first, but the girl pulled out a relatively small dagger from her boots.
Zuo Chi needed to drink a sip of tea to calm down. When he picked up the teacup and took a sip, it suddenly spurted out. The hot water splashed directly onto his crotch. He cried out in pain and covered his lower body.
The shock he felt was that Sasha suddenly opened her mouth, and her clever and cute little tongue rolled around underneath.
When the tongue was extended again, there were two short needles that looked extremely creepy and a shiny blade on the surface of the tongue.
