A few days later——
"Sister, don't cry, I'm really fine, don't be nervous!"
In the small building that Su Nuan and her husband worked hard to run, Su Liang's helpless voice came from the communicator.
The floating screen in the living room clearly showed the ruddy face of the young boy Beta. He was looking at his sister helplessly across the screen. If you didn't look at the drip on his wrist, it would be hard to tell that he was still receiving follow-up treatment for the previous incident.
"You dare to say that I'm nervous? How can I not be nervous?!"
Su Nuan looked at her brother on the screen with tears in her eyes. All the worries that had accumulated in her heart since Su Liang entered the snake cave burst out in an instant.
"You've only been gone for a few days, and you're looking like this when you contact me again. And you went to that kind of place... wuwu... I shouldn't have let you go in the first place. You're just trying to fool me with sweet words. Anyway, you're satisfied if you've made me so anxious that I'm dying!"
Suddenly I received a call from Su Liang. It would be a lie to say that Su Nuan was unhappy.
After all, according to normal confidentiality rules, anyone who goes to the "Snake Cave" is not allowed to contact the outside world.
However, when Su Nuan turned on the screen, she found that Su Liang was injured.
Even though Su Liang looked fine from his complexion, Su Nuan still couldn't help but worry.
"I'm really fine, I just accidentally fell off the instrument." Seeing his sister's tears, Su Liang dared not tell the truth. Fortunately, his real wound was on the back of his neck, which was now securely and carefully wrapped with biological dressings. Otherwise, if Su Nuan saw the teeth marks on the back of his neck, she would probably break into the snake cave and snatch people away on the spot.
"'Snake Cave' is really not as mysterious as people say outside. The people here are very nice to me. They are all very good people." Su Liang said this very sincerely. "You can tell by the fact that I was able to contact you today. This was an exception to comfort my spirit. You see, I only suffered some minor skin injuries, and this injection is also a nutrient injection! They all took care of me so carefully! I am really happy here. By the way, do you want to see the flowers I raised before! This is the Laya plant, very precious..."
There was a slight fluctuation in the image on the screen.
Su Liang's words also paused for a moment.
But soon, everything returned to normal.
Neither Su Nuan nor Su Liang noticed this small detail at all.
But they didn't know that after this slight interference, the communication in the Su family's living room also appeared in a heavily guarded luxurious room somewhere deep in the Lu family's mansion.
"Of course I want to see the flowers that Xiaoliang grows."
An extremely hoarse male voice responded to the smiling boy in the picture.
[“Sister, everything here is good, the only bad thing is that I miss you so much!”]
Su Liang on the screen was completely clueless and was still acting coquettishly towards her sister.
"Really? I missed you too. Really."
And the man once again whispered sweetly to him.
A hand was placed on the screen, gently and carefully stroking Su Liang's cheek on the screen.
That was Lu Zhizhao's hand.
As the future star of the Lu family and the next family head in everyone's mind, Lu Zhizhao now looks a little too haggard.
Ever since that day when he broke out of the confinement cell and escaped and was caught again, he has been under strict house arrest.
Especially Lu Zhengen, after learning that Lu Zhizhao even injured Ning Jiayi for Su Liang, he was so angry that his face twisted and he almost attacked Lu Zhizhao.
After Lu Zhizhao was placed under complete house arrest, Lu Zhengen issued a death order that no one was allowed to reveal any information about Su Liang to Lu Zhizhao.
The former favored child of heaven has now instantly turned into an imprisoned monkey.
Lu Zhizhao didn't know why he was so anxious and desperate. He was clearly just under house arrest, but as long as he completed his treatment, once he got out, he would still be the glorious eldest son of the Lu family.
And Su Liang only stayed in the "Snake Cave" for half a year. No matter what, when he comes back, Lu Zhizhao will still be able to find him to apologize and explain properly.
His Su Liang has such a soft and gentle personality, Lu Zhizhao believes that he will definitely forgive himself.
Definitely!
However, no matter how he tried to convince himself in his heart, Lu Zhizhao still couldn't control his emotions.
It seemed as if there was a devil living deep in his mind, and the devil was constantly threatening him - once he let go, Su Liang might never come back.
It is even possible that he has already lost his Su Liang.
After all, when they parted, the look in the eyes of that gentle boy when he looked at him was so cold.
In extreme anxiety, Lu Zhizhao illegally hacked into Su Nuan's home's smart devices and began to monitor Su Nuan non-stop.
After all, Su Nuan is Su Liang's only relative. If there is any news about Su Liang, Su Nuan will definitely know!
This was the last hopeless move, and Lu Zhizhao had never expected that it would actually succeed.
Su Liang actually contacted Su Nuan from the snake cave!
He stared hungrily at the person in front of him. His soul, which had been restless since they separated, finally calmed down at this moment.
"Xiaoliang."
Lu Zhizhao called Su Liang's name foolishly.
"My little Liang..."
In fact, Lu Zhizhao also vaguely felt in his heart that something was not right with his condition.
He had clearly received very intensive treatment, and the second personality that people had previously described as "violent" and "ferocious" had never appeared again.
But Lu Zhizhao still hasn't really returned to normal.
His mood was getting worse day by day, and he missed Su Liang more and more.
If we must look into it carefully, the longing and desire for Su Liang should come from the endless nightmare that seems to never go away.
Yes, it’s still those lingering dreams.
Every night, as long as Lu Zhizhao closed his eyes, he would fall into a deep, desperate dream.
The Su Liang in the dream was just like in his memory, very gentle and she loved him very much.
So in the dream, Lu Zhizhao tried his best to persuade the other party to elope with him.
And Su Liang really agreed.
The look Su Liang gave him in the dream made Lu Zhizhao intoxicated.
He could feel that deep love without any hesitation or calculation.
In the dream, their life was really hard after eloping. It was the first time that the young master, who had never done housework, knew the bitterness of life. However, no matter how tired and irritated he was inside, Lu Zhizhao felt satisfied and happy as long as he returned home and saw Su Liang.
He really loves Su Liang very much.
However, the reason why nightmares are nightmares is that the ending of the dream is always despair and pain.
He dreamed that Su Liang died in the end.
He would never remember why he and Su Liang separated, and why he was not by Su Liang's side when Su Liang died.
In the twisted and terrifying dream, the only thing that was clear was Su Liang’s pale, lifeless body.
He was a young man whose smile was as gentle as the breeze, but when he lay in that simple coffin, he looked so thin, so skinny, and so scarred.
Lu Zhizhao was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
The body seemed to have been torn apart, and so was the soul.
Each of those inferior people who claimed to be Su Liang's friends looked strange and hideous. Lu Zhizhao even felt that maybe it was they who hurt Su Liang and caused his beloved to die so miserably.
In the dream, the funeral was on a gray, rainy day.
The group of people even ridiculously tried to bury Su Liang in such a simple cemetery.
And they even had the nerve to expel him and spit on him.
"Click."
Something was completely broken.
Lu Zhizhao heard the disembodied voice.
Unable to bear it any longer, he rushed into the crowd and forcibly took Su Liang away.
That was his Su Liang.
His Su Liang shouldn't have died so tragically and pitifully.
The devil's voice still whispered in Lu Zhizhao's mind.
What happened next?
It's as if nothing happened. Lu Zhizhao tried hard to change the ending of the nightmare. He wanted to return everything to the beginning.
He wanted the boy to wake up, look at him gently, smile slightly, and call "A Zhao".
Then he can say to the other person with the same smile: "Xiaoliang, I'm back!"
Lu Zhizhao held Su Liang and stayed in the Lu family mansion for a long time. He used the best technology and the best materials in an attempt to wake Su Liang up.
But it didn't work...
Su Liang was still there, not moving, not breathing, not making the slightest movement.
[“Please, Xiaoliang, I was wrong, please wake up…”]
[“Xiaoliang, don’t be afraid. I’m ready. We’ll get married when we wake up. Haven’t you always wanted to marry me?”]
[“I’m back, Xiaoliang, wake up, I’m back!”]
In my dreams, I seemed to be curled up beside the coffin soaked in Su Liang every night, sobbing and crying.
He didn't know how long it had been, but finally one day, it seemed that someone had created the last little world of him and Su Liang, and then cried out in fear at the corpses and remaining test subjects on the ground.
But Lu Zhizhao just thought it was noisy.
Obviously, Su Liang was just a little bit away from waking up.
Look, the boy immersed in the preservative fluid is still smiling. Maybe he has already sensed it somewhere?
He already knew that his A Zhao was back and was trying hard to wake him up?
There are always a lot of people in nightmares.
Many, many, many people were trying to take Xiao Liang away from him. As a last resort, Lu Zhizhao could only hold Su Liang's body and continue fighting with those people.
They were all so fragile, so small, and could be killed so easily.
Lu Zhizhao began to experiment with the corpses.
Su Liang will wake up.
The devil, him, and the mumbling in his dreams were all repeating this sentence.
He became more and more certain of this.
At the end of the nightmare, Lu Zhizhao saw himself carrying a huge crystal coffin and escaping all the way to the wildest star field on the edge of the Milky Way.
Someone easily tore through the layers of defense he had set up and stepped into the deepest part of the laboratory, step by step.
He was a frail man who was extremely thin and looked like he would turn into dust at any moment.
It is hard to imagine that the snake lord Lu Taipan, who was once regarded as a monster by people, would eventually become such a pitiful appearance. He exuded the aura of impending death, but perhaps because of this, Lu Taipan seemed more terrifying than ever before, more like some kind of monster crawling out of the abyss.
Lu Zhizhao rushed forward. He thought that the sickly man in front of him would be as weak as the others before him, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would be the one who was easily crushed to the ground.
[“What a disgusting thing.”]
In a trance, he seemed to hear a cold mocking sound from the other party.
Amidst the severe pain and heart-wrenching screams, Lu Zhizhao collapsed to the ground, and could only watch helplessly as Lu Taipan, like an evil ghost in front of him, moved step by step to the side of the coffin.
The man stared silently at the boy with closed eyes in the coffin, as if recalling something.
Then, he smashed the coffin and hugged Su Liang's body.
[“Let him go! Don’t take Xiaoliang away! That’s Xiaoliang!”]
[“Kill me! Can’t you just kill me? Let me die with him! Let me die with him!”]
The nightmare finally came to its most terrifying moment.
And every time, Lu Zhizhao could only watch the maddening ending come.
Lu Tai hugged the boy's body and left.
And he, Lu Zhizhao, could only lie there, crying in despair. He wanted to rush over, but he couldn't move.
Because his limbs had been crushed by the monster.
