The night wind blew in through the half-open window, bringing with it the damp chill of the swamp. The chill touched Gu Huaiwei's exposed white neck, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
The black snake swam behind her.
"Miss Gu, don't look back yet."
The faint voice of the forest snake sounded from behind.
Gu Huaiwei didn't move. She used the moonlight from the window to see a slowly moving black shadow reflected on the wall.
The shadow spread from bottom to top.
Gradually it stretched and twisted, and finally condensed into a human shape.
The forest snake is coming.
"Okay," he said.
Gu Huaiwei turned around and looked at him.
Lin Snake's bloodless skin looked even paler against the moonlight. His dark green vertical pupils glowed with a dim light, and his short black hair hung on both sides of his cheeks. He still looked sickly yet handsome.
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Huaiwei was very surprised by Lin She's arrival.
Lin She didn't answer, but took out a blood-stained clock from the pocket of his black windbreaker.
"This is for you."
The hands of the clock have stopped moving, and time is frozen at the moment of death.
"This is..." Gu Huaiwei's pupils shrank slightly, and her fingers curled up subconsciously.
She recognized the clock.
It’s the one on Sister Jin’s chest.
The appearance of this watch here means that Sister Jin has passed away.
Lin She handed the clock to her, his thin black lips parted slightly, his voice calm, "This sacrifice died on my territory. She has your scent on her."
Gu Huaiwei lowered her eyes and clenched her palms. The sharp edges of the clock hurt her, but her voice was unusually calm: "Where's the body? How did you deal with it?"
"I've buried her." Lin She's eyes were dark and unclear. He paused. His voice, though smooth, held a hint of flattery. "I followed your custom and recited a prayer for her."
Lin Snake is a very pragmatic assistant.
He understood Gu Huaiwei's habits. Even if he sometimes disagreed with her choices, he would still respect her personal wishes on the surface.
Well...it's only on the surface.
"Ms. Gu, I need to report this matter to you in detail."
Whenever Lin She said this, it meant that he had done something he thought was right, and then he ran to Gu Huaiwei to take credit for it.
"Go ahead." Gu Huaiwei put the watch into the jade bracelet.
This watch does not belong to Gu Huaiwei.
Sister Jin is an important person to my sister.
When her sister wakes up, she will give the watch to her sister.
"According to my current research, human consciousness can be maintained in a chip for fourteen days." Lin She's voice was calm and rational. "I originally planned to extract her consciousness, store it in a chip, and then bring it to you via a computer."
"You really succeeded in your research." Gu Huaiwei's eyes lit up, and she was a little impressed by Lin She's ability to act.
In his spare time, he either writes code or tinkers with precision parts.
He once said that he wanted to invent a chip that could store human consciousness, allowing people to live forever in another form.
Unexpectedly, he actually did it.
Lin She nodded slightly, his expression still impassive. "Yes, but because the technology was not yet mature and the extraction process was extremely painful, I did not take the initiative to use it on the sacrifice. Instead, I chose the most traditional way to bury the deceased and comfort the soul."
"Okay." Gu Huaiwei didn't understand why Lin She had to explain so much to her.
"Ms. Gu..."
"Um?"
Lin She stared at her with his dark green eyes: "I hope my choice is in line with your original intention."
Gu Huaiwei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she looked away and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work. This is good."
The room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the red roses outside the window, causing the branches and leaves to rustle.
Gu Huaiwei was a little embarrassed: "Do you... have anything else to do?"
She wanted to say that since the things had been given and the words had been spoken, he should go back.
Lin She suddenly spoke, breaking the silence: "Miss Gu, why have you always stayed in your room during this period of time?"
"How do you know I stay in my room every day?"
The forest snake did not answer.
Gu Huaiwei realized something, and her eyes turned cold. "You weren't watching me all the way here, were you?"
Lin She did not deny it.
Ever since Gu Huaiwei left the swamp, he followed her all the way, without making a sound or disturbing her. Except for the time in the wasteland, he never showed up.
He felt that as an assistant, it was his responsibility to stay by Gu Huaiwei's side.
Even if Gu Huaiwei doesn't need it, he should still have professionalism.
That's a bit scary.
Gu Huaiwei knew that Lin She had always had this bad habit. He was elusive and liked to hide in dark corners and spy on others.
I didn't expect that he could follow me all the way.
I'm also very bored.
"I hid it well. They won't find it."
"That's totally beside the point."
"I see that they have all awakened and are preparing for the ceremony. You are welcome to join them."
When Gu Huaiwei heard this, she lost interest in Lin She's tracking and her expression became serious.
She had to contact Semi-finished Product immediately and tell him about this.
The door is locked.
Gu Huaiwei can also go through the window.
"Don't promise them. If you're willing to trust me, I'll take you away." Lin She took out the red umbrella he always carried with him and put it in Gu Huaiwei's hand. "After the hunting ground opens, hold up this umbrella and hide in the crowd. They won't be able to find you."
This umbrella is made of the snake skin he shed and is a part of him.
