"Fugui," Chen Yuzhu looked at Jiang Zhaosu and said in a serious tone, "You and Mr. Qi have both done favors for me and my father. I am willing to trust you again. But..."
Chen Yuzhu looked hesitant. After a pause, she took a deep breath before continuing, "If one day I discover you've been deceiving me, even if it means losing my life, I will stand on the side of humanity and the base and fight against you."
After all, Chen Yuzhu is a well-educated person, and she will never tolerate her friend becoming a villain who kills innocent people.
"No."
Time was running out, and Jiang Zhaosu had no time to be polite. He clenched the crystal core in his hand and answered Chen Yuzhu in a firm tone.
"I will definitely let Pei Yuemu change the plot and save those who died because of me and Qi Xing. If I can't do it, I promise that I will not die a good death myself."
Even if she didn't want to die at that time, Pei Yuemu would not let her go.
If you fail, you will die.
Jiang Zhaosu never thought that he would become such a person one day.
Haha, I also pretended a lot.

Cen Jiao was awakened by a violent shaking.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the devil who had held her hostage, with his back to her, sitting astride a member of the base staff.
He raised the sharp dagger in his hand high and stabbed it fiercely into the man's chest.
Despite committing such a cruel act, the handsome and pale man actually had a sinister smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the killing.
The dagger was pulled out from the chest of the base personnel.
The originally clean blade was now covered with sticky blood, which slowly flowed down the tip of the knife to the ground.
Cen Jiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and she was almost suffocated by extreme fear.
She subconsciously opened her mouth to scream, but was suddenly covered tightly by a cool and slender hand, blocking her voice.
"It's me."
Chen Yuzhu's low voice came from behind.
The woman's calm and peaceful voice soothed Cen Jiao's heart, which was pounding and almost overloaded.
"Don't alarm him. I'll take you away secretly."
Only then did Cen Jiao realize that Chen Yuzhu's other hand had been on her. She must have been woken up by Chen Yuzhu.
As an A-level mutant, although Chen Yuzhu looks similar in size to her, he is much stronger than her.
While Qi Xing was not paying attention, Chen Yuzhu put her arm around Cen Jiao's waist and suddenly jumped out of the window with her.
A dirt ladder rose from the ground, catching Cen Jiao and Chen Yuzhu.
"Dare to run?!"
Cen Jiao heard the man's angry roar, and then a wind blade attacked them.
Fortunately, Chen Yuzhu reacted very quickly and instantly formed an earth shield to block the two of them.
Even so, a few strands of Cen Jiao's long flowing hair were cut off by the sharp wind blade.
Dust flew everywhere, and Cen Jiao's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She closed her eyes in fear and hugged Chen Yuzhu tightly with both hands.
“Ahem…”
The man who wanted to chase them seemed to be choked by the dust flying in the air and started coughing violently.
Chen Yuzhu took the opportunity to take her underground.
The two temporarily hid in a tunnel made of earth.
Cen Jiao was terrified. She shivered and curled up in Chen Yuzhu's arms. She asked Chen Yuzhu in fear: "Will that man chase us in?"
"No," Chen Yuzhu comforted her. "We're underground now, he can't find us. Besides, only those with earth-type abilities can come in here. If he dares to come down, I can bury him alive."
Cen Jiao timidly said "hmm".
It was dark underground, and the thin air was mixed with a cold, damp smell of earth.
Cen Jiao couldn't get used to the smell and subconsciously buried her face in Chen Yuzhu's arms.
She knew that Chen Yuzhu always loved cleanliness.
When she was in middle school, Chen Yuzhu always smelled good.
She even asked someone to ask Chen Yuzhu if she was wearing any famous brand perfume, as she wanted to buy the same one.
But now, when Cen Jiao approached Chen Yuzhu, she could only smell a mixture of soap and rust, which was pungent and heavy.
Chen Yuzhu was also covered in blood.
Chen Yuzhu, who used to be so frightened that she would scream and cry when she saw a small insect, can now calmly deal with the high-level mutants that terrify a bunch of psychics, and calmly help her escape from the hands of the murderer.
Chen Yuzhu's personality has not changed, but it seems to have changed completely.
Maybe it was the smell on Chen Yuzhu's clothes that irritated her, but Cen Jiao suddenly felt a soreness in her nose, and an indescribable sense of grievance surged in her heart.
She clutched Chen Yuzhu's sleeves with her fingers and suddenly said, "Chen Yuzhu, do you really hate me?"
