Chapter 5 Ji An's Secret Monster
Chen Chen didn't say anything to Ji An and turned around to look for Tang Tang.
Tang Tang also has a cousin at home, and the two of them were eating when Chen Chen went in.
Tang Tang’s lunch includes chicken, duck, fish and vegetables, and the staple food is two-grain rice cooked with rice and black rice.
Even if this meal was eaten by one person before the end of the world, it would have been quite extravagant.
Tang Ning, who was sitting opposite her, was eating moldy bread. His eyes were fixed on Tang Tang's delicious food and he couldn't take them away. He kept swallowing his saliva secretly.
"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Tang Tang stood up in surprise, didn't eat the luxurious dinner, and pushed the door open.
Chen Chen glanced at Tangning suggestively, "Tang, I need to discuss something with you alone."
Tang Tang always appears to be a simple and harmless little white flower outside, and speaks softly and kindly to everyone.
Now alone in front of Chen Chen, she stopped pretending. She raised her head and pointed at the leftovers with her chin. She spoke in a condescending tone, like a master bestowing favors on a servant: "Here are the dishes for you. Take them out and eat them. Stay away and don't eavesdrop on our conversation."
"Yes." Tang Ning replied quietly, staring at the leftovers on the table, almost pouncing on them.
Tang Ning walked out of the house holding the leftovers and started to wolf them down almost as soon as he stepped out of the house. He looked like a starving ghost who had not eaten for eight hundred years.
For some reason, even though it wasn't raining, water drops were falling from the bowl. Tang Ning touched his face, which was already covered in tears.
Tang Tang, who was inside the house and saw all this through the window, had a smug look in her eyes.
This cousin of hers used to be very impressive. Before the end of the world, her family was very rich, and her uncle and aunt had good jobs, unlike her, whose family was very poor. This cousin often showed her superiority in front of her, insisting on suppressing her in every way.
Now he is being suffocated by her and can only eat the leftovers by wagging his tail like a dog.
It can be seen that until the moment of closing their eyes, no one knows what will become of anyone! No one should look down on anyone!
"Tang." Chen Chen called Tang Tang back to her senses, and said in an unprecedented serious tone, "Tell me the truth, what happened to the necklace?"
"What, what's going on? I've worn it for a long time and have feelings for it, so I can't bear to give it back to him." Tang Tang's eyes rolled around, looking guilty.
"Tang Tang!" Chen Chen said heavily, "It's already this time, and you still won't tell the truth!"
Tang Tang's eyes instantly turned red, "Brother Chen, this is the first time you call me by my full name, is it because of that person?"
As Tang Tang spoke, tears began to fall and she sobbed in grievance.
Chen Chen's heart softened instantly, rubbing his brows, and said helplessly, "Tang, now is the time, you must tell me the truth, otherwise I don't know how to protect you.
Don't be fooled by An's usual attitude of not caring about anything and seeming that nothing is important, but in fact he is a very stubborn person.
Once he makes a decision, even I can't change it.
If he asks you for the necklace and you don't give it back to him, he has a thousand ways to take it back.
You should know his strength after teaming up with him for so many years. He is so terrifying that he doesn't look like an ordinary person. Even if I take action myself, I can't say that I can definitely beat him."
Chen Chen looked at Tang Tang. His eyes were dark and deep. When he looked at someone intently, there was always a deep affection in them. Tang Tang's chest was beating like a rabbit in her chest, and her face was red as if it was burning.
"You have to tell me the truth, then I will know how to protect you!"
"I, I'm telling the truth." Tang Tang lowered her eyelids, not looking at Chen Chen's eyes that made her blush and her heart beat fast.
"Forget it." Chen Chen sighed deeply, "Let's leave it at that for today. Tang Tang, I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, you give me an answer, or I'll leave you alone. You should know An's character, he will definitely find a chance to get the necklace back again, I'll help you keep him stable for these three days."
Tang Tang slid her toes back and forth on the ground, lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes, but didn't say a word.
"I'm leaving." Chen Chen had no choice but to leave.
Tang Tang looked at his departing back with a complicated expression. There was a flash of hesitation in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
At this time, Tang Ning came into the room. Tang Tang finally found an outlet to vent her anger. She yelled at Tang Ning, "Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. Are you a pig? Pigs are worth more than you. Now a pig is worth ten level one crystal cores. And you? You are a piece of trash who hasn't even awakened your powers. One crystal core is too much! You are just a disgusting bug!"
Tangning said nothing. Her clothes were slovenly and hadn't been washed for who knows how long. Her hair was greasy and it looked like it could be fried. She lowered her head, her long hair covering her face, so it was hard to see her expression. She exuded a kind of dejection that was common among ordinary people in the base.
"I feel unlucky just by looking at you. What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Go wash the dishes for me! And wash the clothes I'm wearing today too." Tang Tang had scolded enough and felt relieved, so she turned around and went back to her room.
Tang Ning took Tang Tang's newly changed clothes to wash. Looking at the clear water in the bucket, Tang Ning scooped some with his hand and took a few big gulps. Only then did he feel less thirsty in his lungs.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get a drink of water, and those with special abilities also need to exchange water with other water-related special abilities if they want to drink water.
But Tang Tang has plenty of water.
Even in the end times when water sources are polluted and people can only drink water provided by water-based supernatural beings, not only can they drink water as much as they want every day, they can even use it to wash clothes that they only wear for one day at a time.
Tang Ning scooped a bottle of clean water and hid it, then washed the clothes numbly and mechanically.
I don’t know if it’s because of the reduction in light sources, but the nights at the end of the world are darker than before the end of the world. Without any lighting, you can hardly see your hand in front of you.
A nimble figure walked quickly in the darkness and stopped in front of a small two-bedroom house. I don't know how the person did it, but he quickly pried open the window with a thin wire and climbed in.
The figure was Ji An, and the window he jumped in through was exactly Tang Tang’s bedroom window.
Ji An came in, looked back at the window glass, and felt that Chen Chen really doted on Tang Tang.
In the apocalypse, all factories stopped production, and glass, which is neither edible nor a necessity for life, had long been discontinued. Therefore, it was really difficult to find a suitable piece of glass for windows, but even so, Tang Tang's house could still use glass.
Don't tell him that Tang Tang earned it herself. He knows Tang Tang's abilities best. All supernatural powers are fake, so what else can be real?
She is a dodder, and can only survive by clinging to others.
Ji An tiptoed to Tang Tang's bed and found that she was breathing steadily and sleeping soundly.
With such vigilance and no one to protect her, how could she go on a mission? She would have died eight hundred times already. It was obvious that Tang Tang was the most useless person in the team, but everyone thought it was him, and Tang Tang wanted to get more mission rewards.
Ji An stretched out his hands and pinched Tang Tang's neck. The sleeping person was still unconscious. But as Ji An's hands tightened, Tang Tang's face gradually showed pain. But even so, the woman still did not wake up.
Suddenly Ji An loosened his hand and an evil smile appeared on his face.
He changed his mind and decided not to kill her. Death is often much easier than living. He wanted to see if Tang Tang, who had lost her powers, could win Chen Chen's heart again as he saw when he was a ghost? Could the two of them still live a happy and loving life like in their previous life?
Sometimes death is not torture, living is more painful.
What could be more satisfying than watching two former enemies who loved each other hate and torture each other!
Ji An reached out and roughly pulled the necklace off Tang Tang's neck. This time Tang Tang was finally awakened.
She couldn't see anything in the darkness, and could only vaguely see a figure standing in front of the bed.
"Ah..." Before Tang Tang could scream, Ji An covered her mouth.
He roughly pulled the person off the bed and dragged him to the window. In the dim moonlight, Tang Tang could barely see the familiar pair of eyes.
It’s Ji An!
Tang Tang’s eyes widened, and she suddenly began to struggle vigorously, making whimpering sounds.
"Quiet!" Ji An stared at Tang Tang coldly. His mental power turned into strands of silk threads and penetrated deep into Tang Tang's brain, controlling her brain.
Tang Tang gradually stopped struggling and her expression became dull.
Controlling her is much easier than controlling Chen Chen.
Just the little bit of mental power recovered from the afternoon rest was enough. After all, Tang Tang was just an ordinary person who had not awakened any superpowers. If it were replaced by even a first-level superpower user, Ji An's newly recovered mental power would not be able to control the other party.
"From now on, you have to answer whatever I ask, do you understand?" Ji An said.
"I understand." Tang Tang's eyes were dull and her pupils were dilated, like a puppet.
"The first question is, does Chen Chen know the secret of the necklace?" Ji An asked.
"He should know." Tang Tang answered slowly, with a dragging tone, "He came to me today to ask if there was anything wrong with the necklace, and he also promised to protect the necklace from being stolen. However, I didn't tell him the secret of the necklace."
After hearing Tang Tang's answer, Ji An really didn't know what Chen Chen was thinking. They were obviously in love, so why were they closer than Tang Tang, an outsider? For example, he didn't give a treasure like the necklace to his own people, but gave it to an outsider.
What’s the difference between their relationship, his and Chen Chen’s!
"Second question, do you know about Ji An's abnormality?" Ji An wanted to ask this question when he was a ghost. Did they discover his superpowers a long time ago? If she didn't know, she would have treated him as an ordinary person and harmed him, but why did she dig out the superpower crystal core in his brain in the first place?
"I know." Tang Tang nodded obediently and answered every question. "How could we not notice that villain Ji An's behavior was so obvious! Which ordinary person can hunt down a level three zombie alone?"
"What secret do you think he is hiding?" Ji An asked.
"He's a monster." Tang Tang was now under mental control, and her words were completely unspoken. These were her truest thoughts, and she said whatever she thought.
"He is a terrifying monster. The power he awakened is actually a psychic power. He can control others mentally. He makes others listen to him and be his puppets! Such an ability is not something a human should have. He must be a devil that crawled out of hell just to control the human world."
Ji An guessed that Tang Tang might know something, but he never expected that she would know it so clearly, even more clearly than he did at that time.
"The third question, does Chen Chen know?"
"Brother Chen knows. Brother Chen is also very scared, but he has no choice. Even though he knows that Ji An is a monster, he can't bear to kill him.
After all, they had been classmates since high school, fell in love in college, and shared life and death together for seven years in the apocalypse. Brother Chen had deep feelings for him and couldn't bring himself to kill him.
Brother Chen also said that he didn’t know whether his love for Ji An came from his own heart or he was mentally controlled by Ji An.
At this point, Tang Tang suddenly became agitated and almost broke free from Ji An's mental control. Ji An had to strengthen his mental control before he could control Tang Tang again.
“Brother Chen must have been mentally controlled by that monster, otherwise how could Brother Chen like that monster!
The person that Brother Chen really likes should be me. I am the one who is most worthy of Brother Chen. I have the dual abilities of space and healing. I am the most powerful person!"
