"Oh my god, Master Lu, please stop playing such childish tricks."
On the spaceship, Xue Yinhuan folded her arms, leaned against the door of the medical room, and spoke coldly to Lu Zhizhao.
Lu Zhizhao's sudden behavior directly interrupted his rest time. Now the entire medical room has been under martial law, and Xue Yinhuan and Black Mamba are standing guard at the door of the medical room, closely monitoring all of Lu Zhizhao's actions.
However, for some reason, Snake Cave did not even send a professional negotiation expert to persuade Lu Zhizhao to stop his self-harming behavior.
Xue Yinhuan was already so annoyed that she was jumping up and down.
"...This kind of boring little trick is really cheap. If others knew that such a joke happened on the Snake Cave spaceship, we would be easily ridiculed by others in the future."
Viper complained without any emotion.
"Don't worry, this matter has been classified as confidential and there is no risk of leakage."
The artificial intelligence in the headset responded coldly to Xue Yinhuan's words.
Xue Yinhuan choked and turned to look at the haggard Alpha youth in the medical room.
"Master Lu, I hope you can understand one thing," Xue Yinhuan said word by word with a stern face, "Even if you really die here, it will only cause a little trouble. The Snake Cave is not so destitute that we have to give an explanation to Lu Zhengen..."
Hearing Xue Yinhuan's words, Lu Zhizhao's mouth tilted, as if he was smiling.
Seeing the expression on the young master of the Lu family's face, Black Mamba frowned slightly.
"Silver Ring, be quiet."
He said coldly.
Lu Zhizhao's words and actions, even his seemingly crazy behavior, inexplicably made the battle-hardened Black Mamba feel very uncomfortable.
Clearly according to the information, Lu Zhizhao had not experienced any setbacks, but the aura emanating from him always reminded Black Mamba of the serial killer he had killed before.
"Your Snake Cave is amazing, and my uncle is also amazing..."
But after Xue Yinhuan fell silent, Lu Zhizhao still started to chuckle.
"But I never expected you to care about my life or death."
As he spoke, Lu Zhizhao's smile deepened. Although he was in a small, heavily guarded medical room, he kept staring at a certain spot on the wall, as if he could really see something through the metal wall.
"Xiaoliang will care about me."
Lu Zhizhao said firmly.
Hearing Lu Zhizhao's foolish whispers, Xue Yinhuan endured it again and again and did not roll her eyes at him directly.
"I sincerely think that he really needs to see a therapist to sort out his brain when he returns to the Central Star Region."
Xue Yinhuan whispered very quietly and quickly to Black Mamba on the communication channel.
During this time, Lu Zhizhao seemed to have noticed something. The young man's pupils were thin and small, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. He just looked at Xue Yinhuan and Black Mamba. After a moment's silence, he grinned, and his smile seemed to extend all the way to below his earlobes.
It was a smile similar to the way a Martian wild dog bared its teeth before attacking.
"What don't you know..."
You have no idea how much that person gave for me in my previous life.
You don't know how much he loves me.
And how much I love him.
Lu Zhizhao thought in his heart.
"He came back to see me."
Lu Zhizhao repeated.
And just as he finished saying this, Black Mamba's communicator rang.
Black Mamba nodded to his headset and listened quietly to the instructions coming from the other end of the microphone. After a moment. He turned his head and looked at Xue Yinhuan.
"Master Su Liang will arrive at the main ship in fifteen minutes, and he will meet Master Lu in twenty minutes."
Hearing Black Mamba's words, Xue Yinhuan froze instantly.
“Huh…”
A chuckle came from behind him. Xue Yinhuan took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at Lu Zhizhao.
He saw an extremely complacent and dazzling smile at the corner of Lu Zhizhao's mouth.
Earlier, in a seedy alley in the 48th district.
After hearing Lu Zhizhao's request, Lu Taipan raised his hand expressionlessly and quickly turned off his personal terminal.
But even so, it was too late. Su Liang still watched the entire video clearly and naturally heard Lu Zhizhao's almost ridiculous request.
Lu Taipan turned his head and looked at Su Liang. His expression was calm, but his eyes were slightly gloomy.
“Don’t worry,” Lu Taipan said calmly, “This kind of self-harming trick… I will give Black Mamba the punishment he deserves later. But this behavior itself will not have any deterrent effect on us. Lu Zhizhao is not as important as he thinks.”
Lu Taipan looked at Su Liang, and when he found that the person he liked was still pale, the Lord of the Snake Cave felt disgusted with Lu Zhizhao.
My fingertips are a little itchy.
The long-lost crazy desire to kill and tear someone apart was once again stirring in the depths of Lu Taipan's soul.
This caused the man's eyes to become darker than usual.
"His mind is clearly not normal, you don't have to pay attention to his threats." But in reality, the Lord of the Snake Cave acted as if everything was normal. He suppressed the subtle hint of madness and bloodthirstiness in his heart.
He carefully considered his words and tried to comfort Su Liang in a clumsy manner.
However, when Su Liang opened his mouth, he said...
"I'm going to meet him."
The boy spoke very seriously, but it was this serious look in his eyes that made Lu Taipan's heart sink a little bit.
“…It just so happens that I also have something to say to him.”
Lu Taipan heard Su Liang continue speaking.
The terrifying coldness and murderous intent instantly permeated his soul, but in response to Su Liang's request, after a long silence, Lu Taipan just nodded.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Reason and self-control are like thin ice.
Lu Taipan lowered his eyes, not wanting Su Liang to see the brutality in his eyes.
When Su Liang rushed back to the spaceship, everything had been set up according to Lu Zhizhao's requirements - an independent, enclosed room was set up on the spaceship.
No one disturbed me, no surveillance equipment.
There are only Lu Zhizhao and Su Liang.
Lu Zhizhao's gun had been taken away, and his entire body was carefully searched to ensure that nothing could cause harm to Su Liang, and then his hands and feet were shackled.
This should have been a great shame and humiliation for the so-called "next head of the Lu family", but for some reason, when the venomous snakes were doing this, Lu Zhizhao remained calm and cooperated from beginning to end.
He was smiling all the time.
"Fuck, this makes me feel fucking uncomfortable."
Xue Yinhuan looked at the man who was tightly restrained in the safety chair and uttered a low curse.
"Do you really want to go in? My instinct tells me that it would be unlucky to come in contact with this kind of thing."
Then he turned his head and looked at Su Liang beside him and persuaded him again.
"I know."
Su Liang touched the ion gun on his waist and smiled bitterly.
Of course he could see that his friend's face was full of disapproval.
"You really don't need to get in touch with this kind of person. There's really nothing much to say to this kind of lunatic... And let me tell you, even though our boss agreed to let you talk to this thing alone without saying anything, as if he didn't care, I've been with him for so many years, and I've figured it out. People like our boss are actually very jealous! If you provoke him like this, he'll definitely be the one who suffers in the end—"
Su Liang originally wanted to explain that he and Lu Taipan had not actually reached that stage, and then he found that Xue Yinhuan was suddenly stuck.
"Silver ring?"
Xue Yinhuan didn't dare to say a word.
Because he just discovered that at this moment, there was a figure standing in the shadow.
Lu Taipan looked in the direction of Su Liang with a cold face. The look in his eyes was dark, but the mental power emanating from his body seemed to be stained with ink. Even from such a long distance, Xue Yinhuan, who was also an Alpha, could vaguely feel the biting chill... and murderous intent.
Tears slowly welled up in Xue Yinhuan's eyes.
He said...
How come Black Mamba clearly did not agree with Su Liang and Lu Zhizhao meeting? When Su Liang really arrived at the isolation room, that person didn't say a word.
It turned out that he had discovered long ago that there was another demon god following Su Liang? !
"Don't worry, I'm just going in to talk to him and will be right out."
Su Liang looked at Xue Yinhuan's instantly bleak face, pursed his lips, and then comforted her.
The next moment, he suddenly turned around as if he realized something.
The man was clearly in stealth mode, and even the battle-hardened snake guard Xue Yinhuan took a long time to spot him. However, Su Liang only took a glance and accurately captured Lu Taipan's figure in the shadows.
"Really, just a few words."
Su Liang didn't know why he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He assured the man with dark eyes with a little caution.
The voice is very soft.
People...are also very well behaved.
"Um."
Lu Taipan nodded, indicating that he understood.
But he didn't say anything more.
Su Liang walked into the room.
A metallic sound was heard slowly, and the extremely thick metal door slammed shut behind him.
There were no unnecessary facilities in the completely enclosed room. There was only a metal safety chair firmly fixed to the ground and a man tied to the chair.
Bright white light fell from above, making Alpha's face, whose mental stability was extremely low, even paler.
Su Liang stopped in front of the door and didn't go any closer.
For a long time, Su Liang didn't speak, and Lu Zhizhao also remained silent.
In dead silence, they looked at each other.
...very unfamiliar.
This was the first thought that flashed through Su Liang’s mind.
It was clear that he had just met Lu Zhizhao not long ago, but perhaps because he knew about Lu Zhizhao's "specialness", when Su Liang saw Lu Zhizhao again, he felt like a lifetime ago.
Of course, in a sense, he and Lu Zhizhao are indeed like a world apart.
"You are finally willing to come and see me."
Meeting Su Liang's eyes, Lu Zhizhao finally murmured.
His greedy gaze was like a cold tongue, licking Su Liang from top to bottom.
The tone of his voice and his expression all made Su Liang feel strange and unusual.
Was Lu Zhizhao like this before?
"Yes, I'm here." Su Liang calmed himself down, his expression unchanged, and he spoke to Lu Zhizhao as calmly as possible.
"I have something to say—"
"I've been missing you."
Lu Zhizhao interrupted Su Liang.
The young man looked at Su Liang with a somewhat distracted look in his eyes. He didn't know whether he was looking at the present Su Liang at this moment, or the young man who had died many years ago.
"Lu Zhizhao..."
"I was deceived, you know? I was really deceived, so badly. They told me that you were doing well. I also received a call from you. Your voice was so happy and gentle. You told me that everything was fine and asked me not to worry. I really believed it. It was a long time before I found out. It turned out that the voice was a re-synthesized interception of the previous conversation between you and me."
"Everyone is lying to me..."
"Father, Aning, haha, they treated me like a fool and tricked me. Later, I finally discovered the truth, and I immediately planned to rush out to find you. But Aning knelt in front of me and begged me, crying. He said that if I didn't marry him, he would die. He promised me that as long as the wedding was completed and we had a child, all problems would be solved. You see, those two families finally have offspring, and they will no longer focus on you and me. My mental strength will also become stable, and I will no longer go crazy, hurt you, or make you feel scared and desperate."
"And Aning... now that he has that child, he will no longer be a tool. He is free, and so are all of us. I thought this would be a good choice for all of us. But I didn't know. I didn't know that you were so sick. I didn't know."
“I was deceived so badly.”
A line of tears slowly flowed down the corners of Lu Zhizhao's eyes.
He stared at Su Liang in front of him, and in a trance he once again saw the person he once loved.
A pretty, slender girl whose gentle smile seems to be able to melt people's hearts.
That was the person he fell in love with at first sight and could never forget.
“…”
Su Liang frowned.
It was obvious that Lu Zhizhao had difficulty distinguishing between reality and the past. If Su Liang had not been reborn once, he would probably feel confused standing here and looking at Lu Zhizhao who kept talking to himself.
But at this moment, Su Liang just stood there, listening to Lu Zhizhao's extremely painful whispers, with silence in his eyes.
"I went to find you, Xiaoliang, but you didn't know it. I didn't break my promise. I said I would go back to find you. I really went back."
"Please, forgive me... I already..."
Su Liang sighed.
"I always thought I liked you."
Su Liang spoke as if he was a little confused.
It broke Lu Zhizhao's one-man show.
"But later I realized that I didn't like you, I just admired you."
The handsome young man surrounded by everyone at the banquet, a high-level Alpha, the eldest son of the Lu family, had many halos but he did not put on airs at all. The young man named Lu Zhizhao seemed so sincere, kind and cheerful. When he was among the crowd, he was as bright as the sun. It seemed that in front of such a person, no matter what difficulties and obstacles he encountered, he could move forward with difficulty and determination.
It is completely different from the Beta at that time who had no choice but to think twice before doing anything.
"...You are the eldest son of the Lu family, and I am just an ordinary Beta. When I am with you, I always tell myself that I must be more calm and composed, and I must show my best side, because only in this way can I be worthy of you. I think I probably did it."
So he calmly and tolerantly accepted the intervention of Lu Zhizhao's "good friend" Ning Jiayi between the two of them. He faced all the hardships and pains after elopement calmly. He calmly faced the wounds and psychological shadows left on his body after his lover went crazy. He handled all trivial matters and rumors in an orderly manner without letting Lu Zhizhao be troubled at all.
In her previous life, Su Liang was always the most stable, gentle, and tolerant lover in front of Lu Zhizhao, and she never lost her composure from beginning to end.
Including the phone call he made to Lu Zhizhao before he died.
…
"But in fact, it's not like this when you really like someone."
Su Liang looked at Lu Zhizhao seriously and said.
"When you truly love someone, it's impossible to remain calm."
There was a heavy downpour.
A flower that will bloom when its time comes.
The wet puppy shivered.
When you really like someone, love is that heavy rain, that flower, and that wet puppy.
There is no way to hide it.
It's totally out of control.
…
Su Liang couldn't help but think of Lu Taipan's extremely embarrassed back under the moonlight, the slightly damp palms of the man when he held her tightly in the alley in District 48, and of course her own pounding heartbeat when she realized all this.
He laughed, this time very gently.
"Lu Zhizhao, let's end it. I hope that many years later, when I think of you, you will be in a better state than you are now."
Lu Zhizhao raised his head, the smile on his face had faded.
"Are you really going to end it? You're…"
Alpha asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's actually over between us a long time ago."
Su Liang said.
As early as in his previous life, long before his death, he and Lu Zhizhao had ended, but at that time, neither of them realized it.
After saying these words, Su Liang ignored Lu Zhizhao.
He turned around and was about to raise his hand to press the button to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange whisper.
"I won't allow it."
Su Liang's nerves suddenly tensed up.
Lu Zhizhao's voice was too close. How could it be so close?
"We will be together. It's not over yet, and we won't end—"
Su Liang felt a huge force coming from behind him, which instantly knocked him to the ground.
No one could have imagined that Lu Zhizhao was no longer an ordinary Alpha.
In his previous life, he had experienced countless rigorous pursuits and assassinations, and he had long been tempered in the endless killings. The restraints used to restrain him had broken at the moment his mental power exploded, and all the facilities in the room were instantly shut down by the invasion of his frenzied mental power.
"Bang--"
Almost at the same time, there was a loud banging sound outside the door, and someone was about to come in.
But Lu Zhizhao had obviously used some means to lock the isolation room directly - perhaps he had already calculated all of this when he requested this room.
With a "hiss", the bright light in the room suddenly went out.
"Lu Zhizhao, what are you doing?!"
The heavy body pressed down on Su Liang so hard that even the places that did not touch his skin felt a piercing pain.
Su Liang's breathing paused, and he was almost completely engulfed by extreme anger and panic.
He instinctively reached for the ion gun at his waist, but before he could do anything, Lu Zhizhao had already held him down forcefully.
"I should have marked you a long time ago."
Lu Zhizhao is smiling.
"After I mark you, you won't talk nonsense anymore."
He said.
Something wet and sticky was sticking to the back of Su Liang's neck. It was Lu Zhizhao's tongue. The intense pain caused by the pheromone allergy was even greater than Su Liang's rage at the moment.
"I should let you die—"
Su Liang gritted his teeth, gasped for breath in pain, and tried to squeeze out every bit of strength in his body.
He counted his breaths.
It's fine.
He said to himself.
He still had a chance to fight back. He had learned how to deal with this situation in District 48...
"Bang--"
The next second, with a loud sound of metal breaking, light tore through the darkness in the room.
A dark shadow rushed in as the metal door was torn apart.
Lu Zhizhao was thrown directly to the ground, and the dull sound of his bones wrapped in flesh being broken rang in Su Liang's ears. Time seemed to be infinitely stretched at that moment, and Su Liang's vision became distorted and blurred.
He saw Lu Zhizhao lose his human form in an instant, and fainted on the ground with blood from his mouth and nose. The metal ground beneath him was slightly dented by the force of someone's attack. He also saw the other Vipers who filed in and quickly took control of the situation - but they ignored the limp, bloody Lu Zhizhao who had fainted on the ground, and instead nervously aimed their control equipment at the top Alpha in the field with a violent aura.
There was a scent of blood on Lu Taipan, and his mental power was so frenzied that all the Alphas present gritted their teeth.
The alarms on everyone were screaming, indicating that they were about to face their boss's complete loss of control.
However, Lu Taipan did not do anything crazy that would hurt anyone.
He just leaned down carefully, then with red eyes, he hugged Su Liang tightly in his arms.
