Chapter 25 I want to chew on what's in your mouth...
Ling Qiu kissed from the chest down to the abs, and just as she was about to continue, her blue screen flashed; it was a message from Lululan.
"Qiuqiu! Ron is critically ill! Do you have any way to get AM407-5? Everyone outside is saying that this stuff is the cure for this infectious disease."
Ling Qiu paused, then got up from Anbote and sat on the other side, replying to Lululan, "I'll check, wait a moment."
She searched for potion sellers on the dark web and was shocked by the prices.
"88,000 yuan a vial!?" Ling Qiu said to Lu Lulan, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Is this the medicine?"
"It was over 40,000 last night, how come it's 80,000 this morning! Those damned drug thieves!" Lululan cursed. "Isn't there a lower price?"
“No more, 88,000 is the lowest price,” Ling Qiu said. She found it unbelievable, but her hacker’s keen sense told her that this was no ordinary matter.
She confirmed with Lululan: "Is it true that someone actually used this drug to save their life, or is it just a rumor? I think it's possible that the drug company is deliberately raising the price."
"...To be honest, I don't think I've received any definite information either, but that's what's circulating in the market." Lululan sighed. "Ron is my only informant in the mafia. If he dies, I definitely won't be able to make any extra money anymore, and things will be much harder from now on."
"It's only been a few hours, how could he be critically ill so quickly?" Ling Qiu asked. "What exactly did the hospital say?"
"The hospital issued a critical condition notice, saying that the special medicine has been used up. If we can't find it ourselves, then Ron will only die."
"So, the hospital is certain of the effectiveness of the special medicine?" Ling Qiu asked.
“...That’s true, but I always feel…” Lululan paused, then lowered her voice, “the hospital is really taking a desperate gamble.”
Mendeson Hospital and Lululan's company, Promise, are related as mother and son, so Lululan can't openly speak ill of the hospital.
"Save the person first?" Ling Qiu asked. "We have to try, no matter what. I don't think Ron is the type to be short of 80,000. If you want it, I'll contact someone to buy it."
“Okay!” Lululan said, “Tell me when you buy it, and I’ll come downstairs to pick it up. You don’t need to come out to see me; just throw it to me through the window. Otherwise, I’m afraid of getting infected.”
"..." Ling Qiu felt a little uneasy. Lu Lu Lan was outside, and the risk of infection was also very high.
She contacted the seller immediately, and while waiting for a reply, she glanced at Anbote.
He didn't know when he had already put on normal clothes.
“Um… if we go together to check on Ron’s condition, can you help me avoid getting infected?” Ling Qiu nervously clenched her fingers. Of course, she knew that Anbot was very dissatisfied with Ron.
“Look… I’m not really interested in Ron, but… I owe him a favor, and if I can repay it this time, then we can have nothing to do with each other anymore, right?”
What a cunning woman! She'd better not let Him see her exchanging glances with that man named Ron.
The monster snorted coldly, its expression indifferent, and said, "Do I look like some kind of wishing machine to me, miss?"
“Oh, Bobo…” Ling Qiu hugged his neck tightly, “You’re not a wishing machine, but you’re my favorite and cutest boyfriend! And my fiancé too…”
How annoying, she's talking to Him in that voice again.
However, He wouldn't mind showing her how Ron looked when he was dying; it must have been very pathetic and not at all in line with her aesthetic sense.
The delivery from Mant City was very fast. Within an hour, Ling Qiu received the special medicine. She asked Lululan for her address and said she could deliver the medicine there and check on Ron's condition.
“Are you sure you can handle it?” Lululan asked. “I don’t recommend you take this risk.”
“No problem.” Ling Qiu glanced at Anbote. For some reason, she was very confident in Anbote’s abilities in this area. “I have a way to block the virus, but… I need to bring one more person over.”
"who?"
“My boyfriend,” Ling Qiu said.
Because of the virus, the light rail was suspended. Most people in Mante City had cars, but Ling Qiu did not.
However, Wang Zheng has a car, although it is very old, but it can still be driven.
Ling Qiu borrowed Wang Zheng's car, a dark blue car of a very old model. You probably wouldn't see many people driving it in Mante City these days, but the exterior and interior were very clean, showing that Wang Zheng had taken good care of it.
"Don't worry, I'll return it properly," Ling Qiu assured him, showing him her driver's license. "I have this."
"It's alright, I have no worries." Wang Zheng scratched his head sheepishly. "Go ahead and use it."
After saying goodbye to Wang Zheng, Ling Qiu stared at the car, somewhat lost in thought.
"You can't drive, can you?" the monster raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Haha…” Ling Qiu said, “Do you know how difficult it is to get a driver’s license in Mant City? Mine is a bootleg.”
"So you still want to borrow the car?"
"Can't you take me with you?" Ling Qiu shrugged. "I believe you can drive."
The monster lowered its gaze; it had never seen anything like this before.
However, human tools don't need to understand the principles; they are very easy to operate.
But why should He personally drive Ling Qiu to see that guy named Ron?
"I don't want to." He crossed his arms, looking cold and unapproachable. "Go or don't go today, it's up to you."
Ling Qiu opened her eyes wide and stared at Anbote for a while.
Two minutes later, He sat in the driver's seat, and the two embarked on their journey to the city center.
"Is this the right place? Is this how the navigation looks?"
"It should be, it should be right."
On the bus, two heads were huddled together staring at the electronic map, completely forgetting to look at the road ahead.
Even so, the car continued to drive normally and was even able to autonomously avoid speeding cars that were running amok.
Haha, but for some reason, Ling Qiu felt safer than afraid when she was with Anbot. Except for the first few days when she was really scared, she was able to relax completely now.
She no longer cared about the outcome; she just wanted to enjoy the process.
An hour and a half later, the two parked their car in front of a high-end residential complex. Ling Qiu explained to the security guard at the gate that she was there to visit a friend, but the guard refused to let them in, believing they were lying.
Left with no other choice, Ling Qiu dialed Lu Lulan's number to ask her to come out and pick her up. Just as she pressed the call button, she saw Anbot walk towards the security guard.
Hmm... He's not going to cause any trouble, is he?
“Hello, sir,” Ling Qiu heard Anbote say.
His voice was calm and his words were friendly, which put Ling Qiu at ease.
“Open the door and let us in, or I’ll snap your head off,” He said amicably.
Holy crap!
Just as Ling Qiu was about to step forward to stop him, she saw the security guard, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly bow deeply to Anbote as if his mind had been controlled.
"Yes, please come in."
"Hello? Qiuqiu, what's wrong?" Lululan's voice came from the other end of the call. Lingqiu didn't notice that the call had already been connected.
"Ah, it's nothing," Ling Qiu said. "Um... remember to open the building door for me, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, she stared at Anbote with a curious and puzzled expression for a long time. Finally, the latter couldn't stand her gaze any longer and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You... can control other people's behavior? And their thoughts?" Ling Qiu asked.
"Hmm," he replied listlessly, as if it were not a very important matter.
"Then you're invincible! You're amazing!" Ling Qiu complimented her at the right time, showing a surprised expression, but to be honest, she wouldn't be surprised by anything a monster could do.
After confirming that her parents' deaths might not have been accidental, Ling Qiu consciously tried to please Anbote because she needed to use Him to investigate the truth of what happened back then.
A few minutes later, Ling Qiu found Ron's house without incident. Lululan opened the door for her. There weren't many people inside, besides Lululan, there were several of Ron's friends, all men, and unsurprisingly, they all had various kinds of prosthetics on them. They looked huge and strong, and they were all wearing protective suits, which made Ling Qiu, who was only wearing a mask, seem a bit careless...
"Why did you come like this! You damn it!" Lululan cursed at her. "Quickly, come inside with me, I'll take off my protective suit for you!"
"No, no!" Ling Qiu waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm really fine!"
She introduced him to the people in the room: "This is my boyfriend, Amberton. He's a medical student. Before he came, he gave me a blocking injection, saying it's very effective against infectious diseases! We went to the hospital to try it yesterday, and I didn't get infected."
"...Really?" Lululan looked suspicious. She didn't like Ling Qiu, her suddenly appearing boyfriend, at all. However, when she looked up at Anbote, she couldn't help but be stunned by his handsome face and top-notch physique.
Wow... no wonder Qiuqiu doesn't like Ron, this... this is simply the best dark skin ever!
The monster didn't look at them, it didn't look at any of these people, and it didn't nod in agreement. It couldn't wait for Ling Qiu to see Ron's ugly behavior.
The door closed, and seeing Anbot walk straight in, Ling Qiu said apologetically to the group, "I'm so sorry, He has autism and doesn't like talking to others."
In Mante, everyone has some kind of psychological problem, but nobody cares.
Ling Qiu glanced at Ron's friends; they all looked punk, one of them sporting a pink scythe-like hairstyle. Ling Qiu only glanced at him once before not daring to look any longer.
"How did he get out of the hospital?" Ling Qiu asked.
“We couldn’t get him treated at the hospital anyway, and we were worried that leaving him there would increase the risk of transmission, so we brought Ron back first.” Lululan led Lingqiu to the bedroom.
Ling Qiu saw Ron lying on the bed. His lips were pale and his forehead was burning hot, as if he were about to burst into flames.
She handed the special medicine to Lululan and said, "What if this doesn't work?"
Lululan didn't know either. She scratched her head, glanced back at Anbote who was standing aside watching coldly, and muttered softly, "Isn't your boyfriend a medical student? What did he say?"
“He…” Ling Qiu subconsciously looked at Anbote. She really didn’t know if Anbote could cure the disease, but she didn’t want to ask Anbote for help in this matter. What if she angered Him, or what if He thought she was meddling when she really needed to ask Him for help later?
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should die tonight." Amber turned around, clapping as he said in perfect British accent, "Congratulations."
"What are you saying! Fuck your mother!" one of Ron's friends was furious and cursed loudly.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Ling Qiu was afraid that this person would offend Anbote and die tragically at Ron's house, which would make things even more difficult for her, especially since Lululan was still here!
“He had a bit of a grudge against Ron before, haha,” Ling Qiu explained, “but He won’t do anything to Ron.”
The man glanced at Anbote, then turned to look at Ling Qiu, and said irritably, "Stupid free agent."
"..." Ling Qiu's face instantly turned cold. She spoke without even thinking, saying directly, "Anbot, break one of his legs."
A blur flashed past, so fast that no one could see anything clearly, followed by a scream that echoed through the room: "Aaaaaah!!!"
This person had prosthetic legs, which were forcibly ripped off by Ambot, and both of them were ripped off at the same time. You can imagine how much pain he must have been in.
"Ha ha..." Ling Qiu laughed coldly, "If you dare to say those kinds of things to me again, I'll break both your arms and stuff you into a public toilet as a sex toy."
The others broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this, and in unison took a step back, looking at Ling Qiu with hostility and vigilance.
Lululan quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "We're all Ron's friends, so let's not argue anymore. You should take him out to see the prosthetic doctor."
Those people left quickly, and the room finally quieted down.
Lululan held the special medicine and played with it repeatedly in her hands.
"You know, even if this medicine doesn't cure Ron, it shouldn't make Ron's condition worse, right?" Lululan knew very well that rumors were just rumors, but no one knew what side effects the medicine would produce when it was actually used on a person.
What if Ron, who might have had a chance to recover if she delayed, actually died after taking this medicine?
Lululan was a little scared.
Ling Qiu didn't know much about this either, so she could only say, "Shall we wait a little longer? We can talk about it again if it really doesn't work out?"
"Okay." Lululan agreed; for now, that was the only option.
"I'll go buy a cup of coffee first," Lululan said to Lingqiu.
Ling Qiu paused for a moment, then understood Lululan's implication. She turned to Anbote and said, "I'll go with her to buy a coffee. Is there anything you'd like to drink?"
“Just like you,” He said.
Ling Qiu and Lu Lulan went downstairs and arrived at the coffee shop outside the residential area.
Lululan started chatting with her: "How did you two meet?"
Ling Qiu thought for a moment: "Actually, he is... the person we found before, do you remember him?"
"...Huh?" Lululan was taken aback. "So he's a superpowered person? No wonder..."
No wonder he acted so quickly just now; it was truly extraordinary.
“Well… sort of,” Ling Qiu said, she could only lie, “He escaped, and now I’ve taken him in.”
"Why did you choose him as your boyfriend?" Lululan asked.
Ling Qiu didn't know how to answer. This wasn't actually something she did voluntarily, but that was just the beginning. Now, she felt that she was completely voluntary.
“Hmm…” Ling Qiu considered her words carefully, trying to give a reasonable explanation. “Do you think that if I were with Ron, he would have stood up for me today because of his friend?”
Lululan paused for a moment, then said, "He will definitely side with you, but he won't break that guy's leg. After all... they are friends. You know, these street thugs have complicated networks of relationships. Sometimes people can't choose what kind of friends they want to make."
“I know.” Ling Qiu nodded. “But Anbot has no friends, he has nothing, he belongs to me alone.”
She likes this sense of security.
The other person has no network of connections; her only connection to the world is herself. In this relationship, Ling Qiu doesn't have to worry about the other person abandoning her because she has a better relationship with someone else, nor does she have to bother getting along with people she doesn't know well.
“Okay… I think I understand a little bit now,” Lululan said. “But I still think you’re mostly attracted to looks.”
"Haha! You found out!" Ling Qiu picked out a milk tea and ordered the same thing for Anbot, then took it back to give to Him.
"What is this?" He asked, pointing to the dark thing inside.
"Big boobs! They're soft and easy to chew." Ling Qiu took a sip and chewed them for Him to see.
He stared at her for a while without moving, until Ling Qiu took another sip of milk tea and was about to chew the second one when He slowly bent down and said, "I want to chew the one in your mouth."
Lululan, who was drinking an iced Americano with her back to them, suddenly spat out a mouthful of coffee.
Ling Qiu: "..."
Author's Note: Qiuqiu: You damn bastard, you're always causing trouble.
