Volume 1 Chapter 49: Not Dead Again
"Since you don't want to talk about it, can you please stop standing there like a telephone pole blocking me from going back to my room?"
Sheng Qingxiao's patience was exhausted. She could already waste half a day talking to Sheng Yean, which was already her limit.
Sheng Yean knew very well in his heart that the gap between him and Sheng Qingxiao could not be eliminated with just a few words.
"Have a good rest recently. Tell Butler Wang if you need anything. You can also call me and take good care of yourself." He left a few caring words and moved aside to open the door behind him.
Sheng Qingxiao ignored Sheng Yean and walked past him into the room.
Back in the room, 3077 asked in confusion.
[Host, he looks like he is truly regretful, but you don't seem to believe it. 】
[Maybe there really are, but not many. For someone like Sheng Yean, in his heart, family affection is never the first, nor the second. The first is always his interests, and the second is the Shengshi Group behind him. 】
[Now on the surface, he seems to feel quite guilty towards you, but if you do something that harms his interests and the interests of Shengshi Group, he will still abandon you without hesitation. 】
[Humans are indeed the most complex creatures!] 】3077 sighed as if he had suddenly realized something.
Sheng Qingxiao ignored the system and focused on picking up her phone and tablet to accept several tasks.
His fingers jumped rapidly on the keyboard. As evening approached, he refused the butler Wang's invitation to dinner when he came upstairs and knocked on the door. He pushed open the window on the second floor and repeated his actions every night.
I came to the villa next door, opened the car door, got in the car and headed to a familiar place. This time I brought a lot more things than last time.
After loading all the things into the car and returning to the villa, and placing all the instruments and medicines in their correct places, the sound of the villa door opening was heard.
Through the surveillance in the basement, we can see that it is Gu Xizhou who is standing at the door and opening it.
His long bangs covered his gloomy eyes and eyebrows. He wore a black hooded sweatshirt on his top, black jeans on his bottom, and even black sneakers on his shoes. Standing there, he seemed to blend into the night.
Sheng Qingxiao stood up and took the special elevator to the first floor. When the elevator door opened, the two looked at each other.
"Come with me. The only way to get to the basement is by elevator. The elevator requires palm print sensing. I'll record your palm print first."
Sheng Qingxiao doesn't like to waste time reminiscing about the past. She would rather Gu Xizhou focus all his energy on researching a virus that can destroy everything.
Gu Xizhou happened to think the same thing, and the two of them walked to the elevator in silence, tacitly understanding each other.
After entering the palm print, take the elevator to the basement.
The basement had been renovated and looked brand new. It was filled with sophisticated and advanced instruments and facilities, as well as various medicines that were banned in the country!
After seeing these things, Gu Xizhou's gloomy eyes burst into unprecedented light!
He skillfully took out protective gloves from his sweatshirt pocket, held the medicine and instruments in his hands lovingly, and began to conduct research with great concentration!
Seeing this scene, Sheng Qingxiao nodded with satisfaction. This is exactly the kind of talent she wants!
In the following few days, the two did not talk much, but they had a skilled understanding. No one would enter the villa during the day, and once night fell, both of them would appear in the underground laboratory at the same time.
After they met each other, they each started to busy themselves with their own things.
On this day, Gu Xizhou walked up to Sheng Qingxiao with a tube of green medicine in his hand and said, "You said you could let me do human experiments, where is that person?"
Sheng Qingxiao raised her eyes in surprise: "You made it so quickly?"
"No, we need to experiment on humans to see if there is anything that needs to be improved."
Sheng Qingxiao took the medicine from Gu Xizhou and put it in her pocket: "Leave it to me, I will give you the results tomorrow."
"Can't I go and see it in person?" Gu Xizhou frowned.
"No." Sheng Qingxiao refused mercilessly without giving any chance for negotiation.
Gu Xizhou's gloomy eyes flickered slightly. Although it was a bit regretful, he did not force it. He just reminded him: "After injecting him with the medicine, you must carefully observe all his reactions. I need precision!"
"Okay, I'll go right away and give you the results tomorrow night!" Sheng Qingxiao stood up briskly, got on the elevator without any delay, and disappeared from Gu Xizhou's sight.
Sheng Qingxiao skillfully climbed over the wall and up the stairs, returned to her bedroom on the second floor, and took out a green potion from her pocket.
His lonely eyes were filled with a desire for death. He opened the potion and drank it in one gulp.
As for the taste, it is sweet with bitterness, sour with sweetness, spicy with sourness, astringent with spiciness, and bitter with astringency!
The effect of the medicine came quickly. Sheng Qingxiao felt her whole body turning cold and hot. She quickly ran to the bathroom and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately afterwards, all the internal organs in the body seemed to be corroded and felt severe pain.
3077, who was reading a novel in the system space, received another red alert!
He forced himself to pull himself back to his senses from the exciting novel and saw his host vomiting blood in the bathroom again. He was not surprised and asked calmly.
[Host, do you want to go back to the previous game?] 】
【Need not. 】
[Okay, got it!] 】
After getting a positive answer, I turned around and immersed myself in the world of novel again.
Sheng Qingxiao lay on the edge of the bathtub, vomiting black blood into the bathtub, which lasted until the second half of the night.
Sheng Qingxiao felt like she had been fished out of the water. She felt the pain in her body disappear in a daze, and the light in her eyes disappeared again.
"I didn't die."
The next day, early in the morning, Sheng Qingxiao slowly opened her eyes. The first thing that caught her eye was a pool of blood in the bathtub. She stood up calmly, rinsed the blood out of the bathtub and replaced it with clean water.
After rinsing his whole body, he turned on the ventilation system in the bathroom with ease, as if he had done it a thousand times.
When she came out of the bathroom, her neck was wrapped in a new bandage. She had cut her throat many times in the past few days, and the wound on her neck had never healed.
Not long after I changed my clothes, there was a knock on the door and the maid's voice came from outside.
"Miss, the dress you're going to wear tomorrow has been delivered to you. Madam asked you to come downstairs and take a look."
"Yes, I understand."
When you come downstairs, what catches your eye is a dazzling array of various dresses.
Some are simple and elegant, some are bright and flamboyant. In short, there are all kinds of them, and they are all placed in the living room downstairs.
Sheng Qingxiao has never had any high requirements for her appearance. To her, as long as it looks good, nothing else matters.
Sheng Qingxiao usually doesn't talk, but when she's not going crazy, she looks like a cold and aloof beauty.
It’s just that she is a little thin, so it’s not suitable for her to wear dresses that show off her figure too much, as this will expose her shortcomings.
Finally, a blue long-sleeved dress was decided. The whole dress was woven from floating brocade, as thin as a cicada's wing. It shimmered as it moved, like the Milky Way.
After choosing the dress, Sheng Qingxiao went straight back to her room and refused to develop any relationship with Mrs. Sheng.
Evening arrived on time, and Sheng Qingxiao skillfully jumped down from the second-floor window to the villa next door.
At this time, Gu Xizhou had been waiting in the basement of the villa for a long time. He needed to know the various reactions of the medicine before he could conduct research and rectification.
Hearing the sound of the elevator, he hurried forward a few steps: "How is it?"
Sheng Qingxiao recounted her reactions yesterday one by one, and then said without blushing or beating her heart: "Your medicine won't work either, you have to increase the poison dosage!"
Gu Xizhou's brows have been frowning since Sheng Qingxiao started talking.
This shouldn't be the case. The poison in the potion he made should be enough to kill a normal person instantly. How could he not die?
Sheng Qingxiao saw that Gu Xizhou was doubting his life and coughed lightly: "Don't doubt yourself. He is fine. It is very likely because I tried too many medicines on him before."
Gu Xizhou still had some doubts in his heart, but the other party had no reason to lie to him, so he could only give up for the time being and continue his research.
"By the way, I have something to do tomorrow night and will not come to the villa for the time being." Sheng Qingxiao thought about the banquet she had to attend tomorrow, so she told Gu Xizhou in advance.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Xizhou focused on fiddling with the potion in his hand without even turning his head.
