Chapter 260 I'll spend a normal person's entire life on you
"You are not greedy for this thing."
Mu He's praise was incomprehensible to Zhong Mu. He was just returning Mu He's things. There were many useful props in the town, and this thing might not be suitable for him. Although it was an SSS-level prop, Zhong Mu wanted to return it to him rather than keep it on himself.
The main reason is that he is too weak and does not have the ability to protect his heart. If his heart is accidentally injured, it would be so unfair to the doctor.
"Anyway, you should take it back." Zhong Mu waved his hand, not caring about the props. "How do I untie it?"
The doctor held the heart in his arms, deep in thought. Then, he smiled and raised his eyes, saying lightly, "The heart will only be returned to me if the bound person dies and there is no next bound person."
Zhong Mu was silent for a moment, his lips twitching dryly, "You're not starting to have murderous intentions, are you?"
Mu He raised his eyes and smiled, "What do you think?"
Zhong Mu retreated at full speed, remaining extremely alert while negotiating with Mu He, "Can you wait until I suddenly die before taking my heart back?"
"Didn't you say you would live to be a hundred years old? How long do I have to wait?" Mu He stood there motionless, but Zhong Mu had already become alert and felt a sense of crisis.
"Um... then can you wait until I die of old age?"
"Then won't I be wasting a normal person's entire life on you?" Mu He slowly walked towards the place where Zhong Mu spoke.
He walked lightly, following the sound and approaching Zhong Mu. Looking at the gentle face in front of him, Zhong Mu trembled as he pulled out a knife from his pocket and put it to Mu He's throat. "Even though you helped me...but if you insist on killing me, I will resist!"
"How do you want to resist?" Mu He smiled faintly, without any threatening aura emanating from his body.
The heart he was holding was still beating loudly, and he could clearly sense Zhong Mu's fluctuating emotions at the moment, which were not fear, but helplessness.
"Like this, stab my throat directly?" Zhong Mu didn't move, but Mu He took the initiative to slowly lean forward, and the sharp blade instantly left a bloody mark on his neck.
Zhong Mu was so frightened that he leaned back and quickly withdrew his hand. He leaned against the wall innocently and dared not move. "Can't we choose a peaceful way to solve it?"
"How can we resolve this peacefully? You're a player, and I'm a creep. We're not on the same path." Mu He approached, a gentle smile on his face. "One day, you'll enter my dungeon, and I'll kill you. It would be more convenient for me to kill you now, wouldn't it?"
Faced with the white-haired young man who had already arrived in front of him, Zhong Mu was in a dilemma. They had been getting along harmoniously before, so why did he want to kill him just because of a disagreement? How aggrieved!
"Let's talk about the future... later... I really don't want to fight with someone who just helped me." Zhong Mu's back was pressed tightly against the wall, and Mu He was completely pressed in front of him, blocking his way. He didn't know where to retreat, so he could only continue to be stubborn.
"Someone I know told me that the first thing a person loses in a dungeon is hope, followed by humanity. Once you lose these two, even if you're still alive, you're no different from a monster.
"Although I haven't lost hope yet, I would feel bad if I lost my basic moral qualities as a human being."
As long as Mu He didn't take the initiative to attack him, he would never take the first step. This was his principle. No matter what, he would never take the initiative to attack someone who had helped him.
Mu He stared at him with a smile. Even though his eyes could not see anything, his dim gray pupils reflected Zhong Mu's appearance, making Zhong Mu feel that this person was looking at him, or at something deeper in him.
"You really don't want to fight with me? Even if I want to kill you now?" Mu He murmured, stretching out his hand. The nails on his bony and slender fingers were clearly growing longer, sharper, and more dangerous.
Zhong Mu shook his head stubbornly, staring at the hand that was gradually reaching towards him.
The moment the hand swung towards him, Zhong Mu subconsciously raised his hand to resist.
He imagined that the sharp nails would at least leave a bloody hole in his body, which would be extremely painful, but the dangerous-looking hand did not actually poke him. Instead, it reached out and patted Zhong Mu's face, as if comforting a child.
Mu He had a gentle smile on his face. "You see, you still need this heart. The next time you encounter this kind of situation, the heart will be able to protect you."
He stuffed the iron box back to Zhong Mu, then covered his mouth and turned around and walked lightly back to the table.
Zhong Mu held the iron box in a daze. He thought he had just seen Mu He turn around and cover his mouth with his hands, laughing. Was he trying to scare him on purpose? Was it funny to tease him like this?
"Are you going to leave the heart with me? What I want is for the heart to be with you. You just need to wait for me to die and then you can take the heart back directly. It won't fall into the hands of others." Zhong Mu looked down at the beating heart in the iron box and really felt that he did not have the strength to protect this heart.
"It's okay. Just keep it with you. You're going to live a long life anyway, so it won't fall into other people's hands for a while." Mu He shook his head lightly.
"So you don't want to kill me?"
"I didn't mean to kill you."
Zhong Mu's face was filled with anger, "You really were teasing me just now!"
"Yes." Mu He answered calmly, smiling meaningfully. "I'm lending you my heart, so you have to pay something for it, right? Free is the most expensive thing."
Zhong Mu thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, and the other party was just scaring him, but he was still a little upset.
"Okay, come here." Mu He waved to him gently and patted the cushion beside him. "Come and sit here. I have something to say to you that the monsters outside can't hear."
Zhong Mu stood there for two seconds, then figured it out and was no longer angry. He then walked over quickly and sat down next to Mu He.
As soon as he sat down, Mu He stretched out a hand and placed it on his leg.
Zhong Mu froze all over, and when he turned around, he saw Mu He's body shrinking rapidly into his grayish-blue Chinese gown, and the hand on his leg turned into a small white paw.
Zhong Mu: ???
He didn't even realize what was happening before he saw a white cat with gray pupils crawling out from his gown, then slowly walking to his legs and lying down.
"The black cat faction's monsterization is to grow bigger, while the white cat's is to shrink, just like me." Mu He said lightly as he lay lazily on his legs.
Zhong Mu's brain froze briefly, and after realizing that he was saying something weird, he quickly took out his little notebook and started taking notes.
"The black cat's transformation into a monster... is it like Yaya's?" Zhong Mu clearly remembered that Yaya's transformation into a monster was like a huge, twisted cat-like monster. The mayor in the same copy also transformed into a monster in a similar direction. These were the weird changes in their impression so far.
"Yaya? I don't know her. She's the weird one from the Black Cat faction, right?" Mu He rolled over on Zhong Mu's lap, revealing her fluffy white belly. "I'm from the White Cat faction. Do you know what the White Cat faction stands for?"
Zhong Mu shook his head.
"They're the pacifist group, the kind that advocates not killing monsters but sealing them." Mu He narrowed his gray eyes slightly. "Perhaps you don't quite understand who I'm referring to when I say 'monster'."
