If he didn't have this little bit of vigilance, he would have died countless times!
"Yes." Jack didn't hide anything and looked at me very frankly, but the answer he said made me want to punch him to death.
In fact, I did just that. I punched him in the face, but he didn't fight back. He stumbled back, then steadied himself, looked up at me, and said, "Satisfied?"
"Satisfied? I'm not satisfied!" I was furious when I heard that. I suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his collar, staring at him furiously: "She's also our teammate. If you knew why didn't you stop her? Why!!!"
"Stop her? And then we all die here together?" Jack's tone was extremely cold, never so cold before.
I looked into his cold eyes and never felt that he was so strange, so strange that it scared me, despite the truth he said and despite my reason telling me that this was the only way given their situation.
But... I just can't do it.
I can't be so cruel, nor can I bear to see Qin Lan become a half-human, half-ghost appearance, and I can't sacrifice my teammates to save myself.
As a man, you should stand tall and have no regrets.
But now...
It seemed as if all my beliefs were shattered and buried on this deserted island.
When it comes to survival, human nature is so ugly that it makes people vomit.
Who am I to blame Jack? Qin Lan risked her life to save me, and I owe her that.
I looked up at the soft light in her eyes, which was definitely not in her eyes before. My heart ached, and I felt my eyes getting hot. I couldn't help but raise my hand to touch her hard neck.
It felt very hard and cold in my hand, but I seemed to be able to feel the soft heart and gentle soul beneath the skin.
"Qin...Qin Lan?" After a long while, I uttered her name with trembling lips, and tears instantly rolled down my cheeks.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.
As if responding to my call, she suddenly lowered her head and gave me a light kiss on my forehead, which was extremely light and yet extremely hot.
My throat felt a little sore and stinging. I suppressed my choked voice, touched her head, and said word by word: "Qin Lan, actually... I have liked you for a long time."
It’s been a long, long time, so long that I even forgot when I started to like you.
Even after entering the Drum Tower, my feelings for you gradually faded, I didn't like you as much anymore, and I decided to give up.
But from beginning to end, I still like you.
Never hated it.
Can you understand?
The scorpion beauty's human-like eyes finally froze when she heard that, and then her pupils suddenly constricted, as if she couldn't believe it. Then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then dimmed in the next moment, turning into a little sadness.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed in someone's hand. I was in so much pain that I couldn't breathe. I could only watch her purse her lips tightly.
Maybe my expression was too ugly, she suddenly lowered her head and smiled at me softly, and then smiled again.
It seemed to be telling me: Don’t be so sad, don’t be sad for her.
Jack stood behind me without saying a word. His silence was unbelievable and somewhat unlike him.
At this time, Qin Lan suddenly turned around and lay on the ground, looking at me with her head tilted, then looked at her back and motioned me to sit on her back.
I was stunned and subconsciously looked at the door leading to the eighth floor above, knowing that she wanted to take us upstairs.
I knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion. Even if I stayed, it would not change the fact that Qin Lan had become a part of the Scorpio Beauty's body, so after a brief hesitation, I still sat on it, and Jack followed me and sat on it.
Qin Lan carried us to the entrance of the eighth floor corridor, put us on the platform, and then lay quietly by the door, as if to watch us leave.
I looked at her eager eyes, those human eyes full of reluctance, and my heart ached again.
Raising my hand and touching her head, I made the most precious promise of my life: "Qin Lan, I will never forget you, and...thank you."
I don’t know if she understood, but seeing tears welling up in her eyes, I couldn’t help but smile.
Although smiling is uglier than crying.
Until the door on the eighth floor was slammed shut, I was still immersed in Qin Lan's eyes and didn't come back to my senses. It took me a long time to realize that I had left the eighth floor.
Turning my head to look at the surroundings, I was shocked to find that there was no staircase on the ninth floor.
In the past, every time you went up a floor, there would be a flight of stairs as a buffer. Under normal circumstances, that flight of stairs was absolutely safe, but there was no staircase here, and it went directly to the eighth floor.
Moreover, this arrangement is a bit strange.
The entire eighth floor is a sea of flowers, and the rich fragrance fills the air, making people intoxicated.
I couldn't help but take a step forward, and finally found a super large bed in the middle of the sea of flowers, with a red wedding quilt on the bed.
Having been through so many floors, I wouldn't be foolish enough to think that this would be a place for me to rest. There must be some danger that I haven't noticed, quietly approaching me.
But what is it?
I frowned, and for a long time I couldn't figure out what I had overlooked.
Standing by the bed, I looked at the entire sea of flowers again and found that there was nothing unusual except for the strong fragrance.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up.
I know what's wrong. Just like the seventh floor, there is no door here!
Yes, the entire eighth floor was like an open-air sea of flowers. Below was an endless sea of flowers, above was a clear, blue sky, and the scorching sun was slowly moving on its track.
I couldn't help but frown. At least on the seventh floor, we could know where the door was, but on the eighth floor, there was not even the shadow of a door. How could they get to the ninth floor?
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a noise behind me. My body stiffened suddenly, and I subconsciously took a step back and turned my head back warily.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Jack standing behind me with an expressionless face, without making a sound.
My heart, which almost jumped out of my throat with fear, suddenly fell back. Then I remembered that Jack and I came up together. I gave him a reproachful look and continued to frown and think.
What exactly went wrong?
Where is the door?
Just when I was at a loss for words, I suddenly felt something strange in my body. I froze and dared not move.
A trace of heat began to evaporate in the blood, and then it became more and more, hotter and hotter, and finally all rushed to my lower abdomen. A small tent was erected there almost instantly. Fortunately, my back was facing Jack, so he couldn't see anything unusual about me for the time being.
