Chapter 138 Frankness
Especially using him to threaten her.
Anubis would never allow this to happen.
In fact, when Anubis just left the Interstellar Strategy Academy, he keenly sensed that someone was following him. At first, he thought it was the scavenger who found him, but he soon discovered that the person was not the scavenger.
He had fought the Scavengers several times and was well aware of their style of operation. Every member of that organization was well-trained and decisive. Once they targeted someone, they would never give him a chance to survive. And now, the person who had been following him hadn't made a move after he tentatively exposed a part of his body that could be killed with a single strike.
So Anubis pretended not to notice and led people to a deserted path.
As expected, the other party took action. They tried to use a flying gun to shoot an anesthetic needle to make him lose consciousness.
But Anubis was deliberately arranged by his father to receive various drug training since he was a child, so he can remain awake under anesthesia and recover his body functions in a shorter time than ordinary orcs.
He fell, seemingly at their mercy, secretly listening to their every move. That was until he heard a female voice. Anubis could no longer use himself as bait to find out what these people were up to. He wouldn't allow himself to become a weapon used to threaten her.
At this time, Anubis's hand had already pierced Wei Shou's chest.
Wei Shou suddenly opened his eyes wide, fell to his knees with a thud, opened his mouth to say something, but spat out a mouthful of blood and then died.
Anubis, standing opposite Qiao Suisui, held a still-beating heart in his hand.
His hands were covered in blood, his sharp nails slowly retracted, and a heavy heart was thrown next to Wei Shou's body.
The darkness gradually receded like the tide. Anubis walked towards Qiao Suisui, but stopped a few steps away from her and hid the bloody hand behind his back.
The young man who was bloodthirsty and killing crazily in the previous second was visibly nervous in this second.
Anubis looked at the girl in front of him. She looked different from the last time they met. Her long hair was draped over her back as smooth as silk, with a few strands running unruly to her thin shoulders. Her face was only the size of a palm, with delicate features and fair and translucent skin. At this moment, it was not known whether she was frightened or cold, but the tip of her nose and cheeks were a little flushed, like a ripe peach, so juicy that people would have wild thoughts if they looked at her for a second longer.
"I scared you." Anubis was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
In fact, the blush on Qiao Susu's face was because she didn't know where to look.
As Anubis struggled to break free from the van chair, his shirt was torn. After another fight, he was now shirtless, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his abdominal muscles were clearly defined. There were also a few streaks of blood on his chest and face, which made his inverted triangle figure suddenly become sexy in a different way.
She forced herself to come back to her senses, glanced away, and said seriously, "We can't stay here for long. Let's go somewhere else."
Little did he know that this kind of hypocrisy was seen by Anubis as a confirmation of his wild thoughts.
She saw me kill someone.
I'm done.
She is more indifferent to me than before.
The young man lowered his head, hummed softly, and followed Qiao Susu silently, like a stray dog on the roadside who wanted to follow her home after being fed.
The two men walked down the embankment and hid in a bridge hole.
There is a rushing river under the bridge, and the flow is very fast. Combined with the bracket-arch architecture, the sound of flowing water echoes throughout the bridge arch.
Anubis washed his hands with the river water, and the bright red blood stained the rushing water and then drifted away.
After taking care of himself, he didn't dare to approach Qiao Susu again, but sat on the ground five steps away from her.
"The scavengers will most likely find me soon. It's very dangerous for you to stay with me." Anubis's voice was low and drowned out by the amplified sound of water, making it difficult for Qiao Susu to hear clearly.
She simply stood up, walked over to him and squatted down, tilted her head to look at him and asked, "What did you say?"
The scent of lily of the valley suddenly hit Anubis, causing his heart to skip a beat. His Adam's apple rolled, and as he looked at the person before him, his breathing became a little tight.
"I said, you will be in danger if you stay with me."
"I'm not afraid of danger."
The young man was startled when he saw his own image reflected in her obsidian eyes. The emotions he had been trying so hard to suppress for a long time could no longer be suppressed.
His eyelashes trembled like the wings of a fluttering butterfly. After taking a few deep breaths, Anubis struggled to speak:
"Joe, my father is a rebel. I am someone who cannot stand in the light. I lied to you." I am not worthy of standing by your side.
He left the last word unsaid.
He knew that she was not his moon, but there were always a few moments when the moonlight did shine on him.
He didn't want much; just being able to see her true self was enough. They were on two different paths, and he couldn't selfishly ask her to accompany him on the most risky path. Besides, she had so many outstanding people around her...
Anubis' mouth was filled with bitterness, his heart ached, and he opened his mouth but could not utter a word.
"I know."
The crisp words stunned the young man.
Qiao Susu looked at his rare dazed look and chuckled.
"I also know that your name is Anubis Connor and your father is a good man."
Instantly, Anubis' eyes welled up with bitterness. He was speechless, only filled with surging love, like the rushing river beside them, rushing through his heart.
"Since we agreed to tell the truth last time, I'll tell you my secret too." Qiao Suisui leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I don't belong here."
Anubis asked, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Suisui said: "I come from another world."
Anubis already knew her identity as an ancient human, but he had never seen her before. He assumed the other world she was talking about was the world of ancient humans, so he nodded and said, "I know. I will protect you."
You still don’t know, Qiao Suisui said in her heart.
The two of them sat side by side on the ground, with the backs of their hands touching each other. Inadvertently, they slightly touched each other. Both of them looked away at the same time as if they had received an electric shock, but their hands did not move at all.
Although the sound of water filled the entire bridge tunnel, they could still hear their own heartbeats.
Anubis turned his head back first, looked at Qiao Suisui seriously, and said "thank you" to her. His voice trembled slightly because of his sincerity.
Qiao Sui Sui also looked at him, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for believing that my father is a good man." His eyes were slightly red.
"You didn't become twisted while growing up under stigma. Instead, you thrived wildly amidst the thorns. You are the best proof of your father's character."
Qiao Susu thought of the man who was the only one on the deserted island who did not eat his companions despite being hungry, and who survived adversity by carrying his brothers on his back. She felt only infinite admiration in her heart.
She placed her hand in Anubis's palm and interlocked her fingers with his, conveying an extremely firm strength.
"Let's go to the southern battlefield and find out the truth of what happened. Let's give justice to you, your father, and all those who were wrongly accused and sacrificed for no reason."
