Hiding his inner desire, the desire that was swelling in his chest, was for help.
It was like a mouse wearing an automatic electric shock collar—unlocked by keywords, he could directly report the truth, so in fact, to a certain extent, he knew the inside story of the empire—
It was as if he knew that if he did certain things, he would be noticed and eliminated by the masterminds at the top of the empire, so he lived his life with extreme caution - this was also a lifestyle that was very much his own.
"Really? It turns out you know more than I thought."
Chu Shangli made a cold sound - of course, this was part of his calculations. He knew that Tan Xing was timid and might not be able to withstand the high-intensity intimidation -
In any case, at the soul level, Chu Shangli has already killed two people and countless animals, and his hands are stained with blood.
After the system was restored, I felt more excited than guilty.
In fact, the one who is more sympathetic is the mother of the Cheshire Cat who lacks maternal love rather than the Cheshire Cat who has no sin.
Is just one rebirth enough to make me so twisted?
The answer is enough - but Chu Shangli also knows that this is definitely not enough for him.
What really made him twisted wasn't just his rebirth - even if he wanted to shift the blame onto someone else, what really made him awaken to his morbidity and abnormality was probably the spiral of DNA that was connected to someone unknown.
“…”
Tan Xing's eyelashes fluttered—he realized he hadn't hidden it very well—
No, did I really have the thought of hiding something just now?
Or maybe, in the state of drifting with the flow, I unconsciously forgot that I should hide my emotions——
Tan Xing quickly understood - when he faced the person in front of him, he felt a sense of "safety".
Even if it was wishful thinking without any basis——this classmate who rarely appeared in class exuded a similar aura——
That's the smell of a beast that erupts after being suppressed.
"Maybe that's the case." Tan Xing replied softly, shaking the bag in his hand: "But don't get me wrong, even if I already know it - it doesn't mean that I will become the same mental state as you are now, because I still have people to protect - and those people I want to protect don't have the slightest ability - neither the ability to protect themselves nor the ability to awaken themselves, none of it -"
These words seemed to be implying that he had actually awakened himself.
Why did he lean over to Bai Xiaoqian to remind her? Chu Shangli initially thought that he was suppressing his inner feelings, but in the end, his conscience prevailed, hoping to use his excessive fear to remind Bai Xiaoqian not to do anything stupid.
However, Chu Shangli now realized that he was not the only one who had acting skills, but also Tan Xing.
You can get close to someone, but you can also distance yourself from them at any time.
"Congratulations on unlocking the keyword [Calculation]."
The system's prompt sounded in my ears——
In a sense, this also verified Chu Shangli's guess—
"Come to think of it, did you see Bai Xiaoqian's stun gun before and offer it to her?"
"..." Tan Xing's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to calm.
It didn't look like he wanted to keep hiding the truth.
"Hmm—yes, I should say I've been observing for a long time. Although Bai Xiaoqian's family owns a flower shop, with all the weapons they have, it should be more than just a simple flower shop—being able to connect with you is unexpected, but if you come into contact with Bai Xiaoqian, there's a chance of that—and what can be guaranteed is a relationship with Feng Ruye..."
