But Qi did not respond to Eve.
His face was extremely tense, like a piece of stretched snow cloth, but there was a very sharp line from his chin to his neck. Combined with his delicate yet cold facial features, he exuded a sharpness like a sword drawn from its sheath.
And those dark eyes gradually turned scarlet blood red.
Eve frowned: "Seven?"
Qi still didn't move, his straight spine almost poking out from his thin shoulders. His red eyes stared at Eve, lingering on her injured hand for a long time.
Eve's eyes sank.
Seven's state is wrong.
Even though she couldn't accurately capture Qi's feelings, she could feel that his heart was in extreme turmoil. He was like standing at the center of a vortex, and it seemed that he would be torn apart by the strong wind in the next second.
Or... an explosion.
"howl--!"
Suddenly, Qi let out a long, sharp roar, and pushed off the ground with his feet. With him as the center, the ground within five meters around him instantly shattered into millions of pieces of stone. His calf muscles were tensed, and with just a push off the ground, he immediately rushed towards them like an arrow!
Eve grabbed Ling Ning's collar and said, "Get out of the way!"
"...Fuck it!" Ling Ning even cursed and hurriedly dragged Eve to the side. Although he had deviated from Qi's trajectory, the strong wind he created still blew the two of them several meters away in an instant!
"What the hell?!" Fan Ming's scream could be heard faintly from the side. "Eve! What happened to your brother?!"
Eve propped herself up with her arms and turned back quickly.
Qi was like a well-aimed cannonball, landing directly on the black man's head. The latter's head instantly deflated, but before he could even scream in pain, Qi had already grabbed his neck and slammed him into the wall: "Bang!"
"...Eve?!" Ling Ning's surprised voice rang out beside him, "Isn't your brother... a reinforcement type?"
Eve's eyes flashed.
She understood why Ling Ning had this question.
In front of them, two black tentacles as thick as an adult's waist spiraled out from the shadows under Qi's feet, grabbing the black man's limbs on the left and right, trying to tear him apart.
The black man was like a fragile rag doll in his hands, unable to even resist.
"What kind of superpower is that?" Ling Ning murmured, "Naturally... No, it's a characteristic... system?"
Eve remained silent. Her understanding of superpowers was even worse than that of a zombie.
In fact, she was even more confused than Ling Ning - as Qi's master, she had never noticed that Qi had any special abilities before!
Eve: “…”
It is a shame for a necromancer to not be able to accurately grasp the information of the zombie followers.
"Eve," Fan Ming came over and said tremblingly, "Your brother...isn't he going to stop?"
From their perspective, they could see that the black man had already lost his movement under the attacks of the seven violent storms. Judging from his limbs hanging limply, he was probably dead.
But Qi seemed to be possessed and had no intention of stopping.
Fan Ming swallowed tremblingly.
This... this isn't about killing the nigger - it's about chopping him into minced meat and tofu!
Ling Ning also said, "Eve...tell him to stop."
Eve thought for a moment, then walked towards Seven and said, "Seven, stop."
Perhaps the sound of the tentacles landing masked Eve or something, but Seven didn't respond to her command.
Eve frowned, took a few steps forward, and said again, "Seven."
This time she raised her voice, and with Qi's hearing ability, he could definitely hear it, but he didn't even turn his head. All his attention was focused on the black man - to be more precise, on attacking him.
Eve's eyes darkened slightly.
Sure enough, it wasn't her illusion.
Seven didn't respond to her commands.
Eve has been a necromancer for more than ten years, but this is the first time she has encountered a zombie that disobeyed her orders. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was a little surprised in her heart. She couldn't help but move forward a few steps, but she didn't notice that she walked into Qi's attack range. The opponent's tentacles fell again and accidentally brushed Eve's shoulder.
A piece of her shoulder was suddenly torn off, along with her clothes and flesh. The pain exploded like a prairie fire. Eve took a low breath and took a half step back.
But when that breath fell into the air, Qi, who had originally had no reaction, suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned his head, his scarlet eyes passing through the open space and resting on Eve's shoulder.
The thin, bluish lips opened as if wanting to speak, but only a low, unformed growl came out: "Howl..."
Qi's hand loosened and the black man's body fell to the ground with a thud. He didn't even look at it, put away the black thorn, and walked towards Eve.
"Eve, be careful?" Qi's condition was too abnormal, and Fan Ming shouted nervously.
Ling Ning suddenly pulled him.
"It's okay," she whispered, though she frowned, "Her brother... doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."
Upon hearing this, Fan Ming subconsciously looked at Qi.
His black thorns had been completely retracted, and he quietly slipped back into Qi's shadow, without showing any sign of abnormality.
The young man's hands hung at his sides, his arms and calves exposed from the torn sleeves. His slender and smooth bones reflected a fine silver-white light, as delicate as a doll, yet fragile, as if it would break at the slightest bend.
He walked up to Eve, lowered his head, and bent the back of his neck into a gentle arc.
The two looked at Qi in surprise. If it weren't for the black man's blood covering his body and even his hair sticking together in wisps, they would have been unable to connect him with the bloodthirsty and crazy image just now.
The two were still hesitating, but Eve spoke.
She stared at Qi and said coldly, "Stop."
Qi paused and stopped abruptly in mid-air.
——Eve asked him to stop, and he really stopped moving.
Eve stared at him for a few seconds with a scrutinizing gaze, then said, "Raise your hand."
Qi raised his right hand obediently.
His movements were a bit strange now - his right foot was suspended in mid-air, his right hand was raised above his head, like a clumsy puppet.
Ling Ning: "...Eve?"
Eve ignored her and continued to order Qi:
"Turn around."
"Kneel down."
"Turn around three times."
She gave several simple instructions in succession, and Qiquan followed them obediently, as docile as a sheep. Eve stared at his docile face, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Cut off your right hand."
Ling Ning and Fan Ming were frightened by this instruction: "Wait? What are you doing!"
Eve only looked at Qi. Seeing that he didn't move, she frowned slightly and said, "You're not going to do it?"
Qi raised his right arm without any hesitation, and a black tentacle slowly stretched out from the shadow under his feet, coiling upwards, with the tip condensing into a spike and aiming at the joint of his wrist.
Then, he stabbed it hard!
“Stop it!”
"Stop him!"
Ling Ning and Fan Ming didn't expect that he would actually chop off his arm. They screamed in fear at the same time. Eve frowned, and just before the black thorn touched Qi's arm, she whispered, "...Stop."
Black Thorn stopped suddenly.
Qi raised his eyes, and his glassy, inorganic black eyes turned to Eve.
Eve seemed a little annoyed and whispered, "That's enough. Put away your black thorn."
Qi blinked, showing no dissatisfaction with Eve's fickleness, and Black Thorn disappeared silently into the shadows again.
Eve stared at him straight, and the next second, she suddenly turned and left.
Ling Ning quickly followed: "Eve? Where are you going?"
"The zombies are gone, why are you still here?" Eve's tone was calm, but for some reason, the sweet coating that usually wrapped around her was peeled off. "I'm tired and need to rest."
Ling Ning hesitated and said, "Walk slower and wait for your brother." He had just woken up and his steps were still a little unsteady.
Eve glanced at her sideways, her green eyes seemed to contain a pool of deep water.
Ling Ning: “……?” Did she say something wrong?
She hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Are you angry?"
Eve: “…”
She smiled: "Why should I be angry?"
She successfully recovered the nuclear crystal of the third-level zombie, eliminated the team of psychics, and her strength was restored by 20% - what was there for her to be angry about?
Ling Ning: "..." Big sister, your face is almost like a puffer fish, okay?
She supported her forehead and said, "Don't blame your brother. He is doing this for your own good."
Eve stared at Ling Ning with a lunatic look.
"He doesn't understand these things." She said bluntly, almost saying "Don't add any drama to the zombies."
And... Eve pursed her lips. Ling Ning didn't understand. This was not what she was concerned about.
She paused and whispered, "I didn't give him the order to attack at all—he acted on his own."
As the youngest and most promising necromancer in the Witch Tower, Eve has never let zombies escape her control.
Seven challenged her position.
Ling Ning: “???”
Now it was her turn to be filled with question marks.
"What the hell are you talking about?" She was speechless. "Although your brother is... uh, a little extreme, his motivation is good!"
Eve stopped and looked sideways.
Ling Ning saw sincere doubt in those clear green eyes.
she:"……"
It’s over, this little girl really doesn’t understand.
"You...why don't you understand?!" She tapped Eve's forehead, almost wanting to poke her cute little head into a crispy corner. "Your brother is avenging you!"
Although the method was a bit bloody and not suitable for children, her sister's life was hanging by a thread after all, and she could understand Qi's desire to slice the black man into sashimi.
But this sentence only earned Eve a chuckle: "Oh, I see."
Ling Ning was annoyed: "You don't believe it?!"
Eve turned her eyes away perfunctorily: "I believe him, of course I do. He just wants to protect me."
Ling Ning was about to say something when Fan Ming's cautious voice rang out from behind him, "Eve... your brother seems to have something to tell you."
What does this mean? Eve looked surprised and turned her head.
Qi was right behind her. When he met her gaze, he stopped immediately. His black hair slid down his pale face. He leaned forward slightly and his lips moved.
His eyes were fixed on Eve's shoulder.
Eve blinked, suddenly realizing.
She had not yet received treatment for her wounds, and blood was still flowing from her shoulders, thighs, and wrists. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Eve felt a little funny, thinking that Qi might be hungry.
She said to the other two, "You... go back to the dark room."
Ling Ning asked: "What about you guys?"
"Coming right up." Eve cut her off briefly.
Ling Ning and Fan Ming looked at each other. They were exhausted and really could not hold on any longer, so they obediently walked towards their previous hiding place.
And Eve waved to Qi Zhao: "Come here."
Although Eve was a little upset that Qi had once disobeyed orders, she had gained a lot this time. She was in a good mood and her attitude towards Qi had softened a bit.
She hooked her finger at Qi: "Drink it."
Qi took two steps forward, only a few centimeters away from Eve's wrist. He stared at the wound with his obsidian eyes for a while, then slowly opened his fangs.
Eve raised her arm painfully.
But just as she was about to touch Seven, the latter suddenly turned his head, and his fangs missed Eve's wrist and stretched forward.
Eve was stunned.
Qi suddenly touched her shoulder.
The cool air he exhaled sprayed on Eve's skin. At some point, his fangs had been retracted, and his thin lips pressed against the wound, leaving a soft touch.
——Soft as a kiss.
Eve was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. She pushed him away forcefully and stepped back cautiously: "What are you doing?"
Qi still stood there, looking at her in confusion. He didn't seem to understand why Eve suddenly pushed him away. He took two steps forward and hugged her before Eve could react.
This time, his purpose was clearer - Qi put his face close to Eve's wound and gently licked the flowing blood, his movements were very gentle.
Eve stared at him, her pupils shrinking slightly.
Just now, her attention was focused on other things, and she actually ignored an extremely important change in Qi's body.
She stretched out her hand and tentatively touched Qi's fingers.
...warm.
"Seven, you..."
Eve opened her eyes wide and looked at him in surprise.
"You have...human body temperature...?"

The girl looked delicate, her thin body barely enough for the zombies to fill their teeth. She whispered, "If I join your team, can you give me a cup of your blood?"
Xing Shou glanced at her and said briefly, "We only accept people with special abilities."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, I can breathe fire, heal, teleport..." She said a lot in one breath, hesitating and looking up, "If my superpowers are not enough, I can add more."
