Chapter 52 I love you, Bobo...
"Who taught you to say that!" Ling Qiu's ears turned bright red. She had clearly used that sentence to tease Cyrus at first, so why was Cyrus using it to tease her now?
"Is that not allowed?" Cyrus smiled as he looked at her frantic state. "You were the one who told me that this sentence meant a confession."
Ling Qiu stared at Cyrus, trying to determine whether he truly didn't know or was pretending not to.
His amused expression was absolutely despicable!
“88c45 means Daddy fucked me to death. You didn’t understand back then, but I don’t believe you still don’t understand now!” Ling Qiu gripped his waist tightly, her eyes fixed on him.
Cyrus let out a soft laugh as he unbuttoned his shirt and said to Ling Qiu, "So, do you want to fuck me now?"
Ling Qiu was utterly incredulous. This monster, who initially knew nothing and only instinctively clung to her and kissed her, was now talking to her with such a lewd expression!
"I'm coming!" Ling Qiu couldn't contain her excitement; it felt really good to be with Cyrus.
Cyrus held her in his arms, and they kissed on the soft, comfortable leather sofa. There was an unconscious "corpse" lying next to them, but no one paid any attention.
Ling Qiu started by sitting on Cyrus's waist, but eventually ended up sitting on Cyrus's face. They played until late at night before Cyrus carried her into the bathroom to wash her.
Sleepiness crept in, and Ling Qiu mumbled, "When can we enter Noah's building?"
“It will be soon,” Cyrus said. “Manwell’s memories indicate that a sacrificial ceremony will be held in the Noah Building in three days. The Manson family will all be there, and they can invite their female companions.”
"What kind of sacrificial ceremony is this? It sounds like a party."
“For them, this is a party,” Cyrus said. “Perhaps we’ll even see the offerings from this event.”
Three days later, Manwell, dressed in a suit and tie, appeared at the Noah Company building with his new girlfriend.
"Are you sure you're single right now? You don't expect some lover to suddenly appear out of nowhere, do you? I'm not good at dealing with these kinds of situations..." Ling Qiu said, glancing around as she spoke. She felt that the people around her were giving her unfriendly looks.
“How can you say I’m single?” Manwell gasped. “Didn’t we just start dating, Miss Lingqiu?”
Ling Qiu's heart, which had just been in her throat, relaxed again. It seemed that these unfriendly looks were simply because she was now a free person.
"Ling Qiu!? Are you with Mr. Manwell?" Lululan, who was working at the front desk, widened her eyes in surprise when she saw Ling Qiu standing there.
Come on, we'll have to face this sooner or later.
Ling Qiu replied in a serious tone: "Yes, Manwell fell in love with me at first sight."
Lululan's gaze lingered between Ling Qiu and Manwell. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't think of anything to say, so she closed her mouth again.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at her, she didn't even tell you she got a new boyfriend, she doesn't care about you at all, and this new boyfriend is your boss, haha..." A voice echoed in Lululan's mind, "She's going to always be the one to dominate you."
Lululan snapped, "Shut up."
Her eyes were red, and this redness spread to her spine, making her feel hot all over, as if she were burning up.
"Hahaha... What are you still pretending for? You clearly believe what I say... Don't you even trust the company? I am the company."
"Shut up!" Lululan's eyes were bloodshot. "You don't deserve...you don't deserve..."
What is she not worthy of? She couldn't think of anything for a moment. Her mind was blank, as if the journey had suddenly ended halfway through, and she could never reach the other side.
“…The company comes first.” Lululan murmured softly, her eyes vacant. “Everything is for the company.”
Lululan seems to be acting more and more strange... Ling Qiu thought, when they were talking just now, Lululan's expression... she couldn't describe it, it was as if she was a completely different person.
Ling Qiu frowned, then nonchalantly went upstairs with Manwell.
This was her first time here, and Ling Qiu discovered that Noah's company layout was actually very similar to Huanyu's, even the location and color of the employee gates were exactly the same, making Ling Qiu feel a little dazed.
They used a private elevator, which was covered with a soft red carpet. Except for the elevator door, the other three sides were mirrors. Moreover, Ling Qiu discovered that there were no surveillance cameras in the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the 40th floor. The moment the elevator doors opened, Ling Qiu saw the metallic light reflected on the wall. It was different from what she had imagined. Back then, all the building materials of the Huanyu High-Rise were white, and it looked like some kind of advanced laboratory.
But now, the walls around Noah are a dark metallic gray, and the light is dim everywhere. Even with the lights on, there are still many shadowy areas.
"Manwell, you've arrived." A tall, blonde woman stepped forward, glancing indifferently at Ling Qiu. "This is your new girlfriend?"
“Yes, isn’t she cute?” Manwell said, reaching out to pinch Ling Qiu’s cheek.
"Come in, everyone's almost here, and the ceremony is about to begin." The woman didn't say anything more, turned and walked forward. A gray automatic door opened, revealing a dark red light inside, and they all followed her inside.
Ling Qiu was seated at the very end, while Manwell was to move forward with his family. Ling Qiu was seated next to female companions brought by others.
To her surprise, these people reacted indifferently to her arrival. They were neither surprised nor disgusted that she was a free person, nor did they investigate her. Everyone was focused on the large screen in the room, as if no one could see her.
Ling Qiu looked at the screen, and what was reflected on the screen was actually the underground palace that she had accidentally discovered beneath the factory that day.
The people above, wearing crimson cloaks, were surrounding a deep hole, with iron hooks hanging above them.
Ling Qiu could never forget this scene; she had witnessed it with her own eyes in the underground palace. Those iron hooks had people's throats pierced through them, some possibly alive, some dead, but what was displayed on the screen now was not like that.
On the screen, sheep have iron hooks piercing their necks.
The white goats, with their snow-white faces, each showed an expression of pain or impending death, some still struggling.
Each sheep is as tall as a person.
Ling Qiu immediately recognized that this was not a real image, but a hologram. The sheep was created from the void and superimposed on the original person. Unless one was very familiar with holographic technology, it would be impossible to see the difference.
These people are still alive; these people were just inserted.
Ling Qiu unconsciously held her breath.
"Let us pray together that the Lord will grant us a fulfilling life," the person on the screen said. "Today, I offer these lucky lambs to the Lord, hoping that the Lord will protect us."
As he spoke, the man began chanting a spell, and everyone around him put their hands together and closed their eyes. Ling Qiu was stunned for a moment, then followed suit.
It seems she was the only newcomer to the ceremony, as everyone else sitting with her was quite skilled and clearly not a first-timer.
But she didn't close her eyes completely; instead, she secretly left a crack and watched the video as the heads of the "lambs" were severed and their bodies fell into the dark, deep hole. When everyone opened their eyes, only a few "lamb heads" remained on the hook.
Ling Qiu remained calm throughout.
But her heart suddenly jumped, because the moment she opened her eyes, she saw the person Li Jiale had asked her to find.
He has silver hair, but his face looks younger than in the photos. In the photos, he looks like he's around 30 years old, but now he looks no more than 20.
Ling Qiu pursed her lips. Could she take photos now? She wondered if she would be discovered. This person really was inside Noah; she had finally found him.
Perhaps because he noticed Ling Qiu's gaze, the silver-haired man suddenly locked onto her.
"Looks like we have a new friend today." He stared intently at Ling Qiu, flashing a row of pearly white teeth. "Aren't you going to introduce him?"
Ling Qiu moved her lips.
“My new girlfriend,” Manwell began. “Isn’t she beautiful?”
The silver-haired man smiled and stared at Ling Qiu for a while, then said meaningfully, "Indeed, not bad."
But Ling Qiu had a misconception that what this person said was true, and that they weren't referring to her appearance.
That scrutinizing gaze, as if she were some kind of food...
Ling Qiu's intuition told her that something was wrong with this person.
“Mombora,” the blonde woman called his name, “We don’t have enough offerings.”
Ling Qiu clenched her fist tightly. What was his name?!
"Don't worry about the offerings, a new batch will be available soon," the silver-haired man said with a smile. "The branch office is also helping to find them."
His name is Mamborough.
Ling Qiu clearly remembers the day she traveled to her mother's company. Her mother told her father that she had personally heard Mamborah talking to a cloud of black mist.
At that time, Mamborough was in charge of her mother's leadership.
But this Mamborah looks like she's only in her early twenties.
More than a decade has passed. Even if he takes good care of himself, is it possible for him to look this young?
Could the branch office he mentioned be the Temple?
After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, another room was filled with wine and food, implying that the real party was about to begin.
Although Ling Qiu had been somewhat prepared, she still underestimated the extent of these people's debauchery. Partner swapping and group sex were nothing compared to what they were really doing. What was even more disgusting was that they were actually playing with human centipedes in the corridor.
"Manwell, come join us." A man was laughing so hard he was shaking; he must have hit his head.
Ling Qiu felt a chill run down her spine; she froze on the spot, wanting only to refuse bluntly.
Manwell's flippant voice came from beside him: "What are you thinking? She's a virgin. I'm keeping her for myself."
"A virgin?"
Several people looked at Ling Qiu with surprise upon hearing this. Their eyes were disgusted, as if she were a commodity placed on a shelf.
Behind them, unseen by anyone, Cyrus gently took her hand.
"I'm fine." Ling Qiu wrote in his palm, "Help me check if there's any monster on Mamborra."
"have."
She received this reply.
How can I kill him?
If Mambora dies, will the monster disappear?
Was Mambora parasitized? Or were they already one entity all along?
“Don’t worry.” Cyrus gently traced her hand. “Even if I can’t break the seal immediately, I have a way to seal Noah, this monster.”
Ling Qiu looked at Him. She was lifted onto the windowsill by Cyrus, and from other people's perspective, it looked like they were kissing.
“After the seal is complete, He will be temporarily imprisoned in Mamborra’s body,” Cyrus continued writing. “But be quick, I don’t know how long I can hold out.”
The last few words made Ling Qiu feel uneasy. She asked, "Will you get hurt? Will this hurt you?"
Cyrus shook his head: "You'll just be weak, but you'll recover after a while."
And now, this is a perfect opportunity. Many members of the Manson family are here. If we can capture them all in one fell swoop…
But this time Ling Qiu was only here to probe the situation. She was unprepared. After thinking it over, what was the best way to catch them all in one fell swoop?
Two words popped into her head: explosion.
And it can't explode now, there are many other people in the company, including Lululan.
But Ling Qiu knew she had to do it as soon as possible; she didn't have many opportunities to frequently visit Noah, otherwise it would be too suspicious.
They communicated with each other by handwriting.
Ling Qiu: "If I start making bombs now, will I arouse suspicion?"
Cyrus: "It's hard to say, but I think Noah has his eye on you."
"Why?" Ling Qiu asked in surprise, feeling that she had been very cautious.
"Because you are a free person."
Ling Qiu choked up. That's right, the soul of a free man is more complete, and that monster likes free men.
"But I'm your girlfriend now."
Cyrus sighed, "These humans are all His slaves. Do you think He cares about Manwell?"
Originally, the Manwell Road was merely a way to enter Noah, not a protective shield.
“Manwell will remove the chip tonight,” Cyrus wrote. “We can go out and look for it again tonight.”
Then, she just needs to wait for an opportunity like this one.
Excellent, very promising, instantly dispelling Ling Qiu's heavy mood.
"Why don't you sit here?" Mambora, who had been staring at them from the sofa, suddenly spoke up.
His gaze, scrutinizing, was unsettling.
vile hyenas.
Ling Qiu slowly tightened her grip on her fingers. She glanced sideways at Mamborra casually and asked, "Have you ever seen a virgin willing to do it in public?"
Mamborah narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with disdain, as if she looked down on Ling Qiu's deliberate pomp and circumstance.
Ling Qiu continued, "But what about you? Why don't you join them?"
Ling Qiu pointed to the lewd group over there, "You look very young, surely you don't have the stamina?"
"Mr. Mamborah, are you impotent at such a young age?" she provocatively challenged him.
To be honest, this was the first time she had dared to provoke their master in front of so many cyborgs. Ling Qiu wouldn't have had this kind of courage before.
But now, Cyrus is behind her.
Mamborough's expression was visibly chapped; his pupils contracted, and despite his eyes being filled with disgust, he still smiled as he looked at Ling Qiu.
“You’re a bold girl,” he said. “But if you knew who I am, I would make you regret it.”
"Why? And who are you?" Ling Qiu's eyes were like looking at dog shit. "You're utter trash. You sit on the sidelines watching others have sex, while you're completely impotent, and you still have to order others around. Even if such a stimulating scene were right in front of you, you'd still be unable to get an erection, right?"
Ling Qiu thought that her words would probably really provoke this disgusting trash, because she saw that Mamborra's expression had completely changed. His sinister expression revealed a bizarre quality that made him unfit to be called "human".
It looked as if it would rush forward and tear her to pieces at any moment.
"Haha, are you getting angry? Trash." Ling Qiu sneered. "I hate being ordered around the most, and I hate ordinary and incompetent humans like you who think they're something special. I feel sorry for you. The Temple will not accept a megalomaniac like you."
Mamborah was already like a wild beast poised to pounce, but upon hearing the word "temple," he clearly paused for a moment.
“Do you know? The great God had the archbishop tell me personally that I have two souls in my body, and that I am noble.” Ling Qiu put on an infatuated look. “What a ridiculous company. You discriminate against me as a free person. The temple treats me like a treasure. I’ve long been disgusted with you corporate trash.”
Ling Qiu crossed her arms in a provocative manner, speaking eloquently about how much she revered and loved that great god, and how she was willing to give everything for Him.
During this process, she clearly felt that Mamborah gradually calmed down.
He gave her that playful look again, looking at her with the eyes one would use to look at a pet.
“Yes, that’s right.” He smiled, swept up in the fervor of his followers. “The Temple is the greatest.”
I am the greatest.
...
Before the party ended, Ling Qiu and Cyrus left early. Surprisingly, although Mamborah had been watching her the whole time, she didn't say anything to stop them, allowing them to leave smoothly.
"My God." Cyrus pulled out his chip without hesitation. "Tell me honestly, Qiuqiu, did you plan to say that all along?"
Ling Qiu giggled and held Cyrus's hand tightly: "Did I make you worry, Bobo?"
"...I was really on edge." Cyrus felt like he was about to short-circuit. He couldn't kill Noah now, and even if he risked everything to seal Noah away, what would happen after that? It was hard to say what would happen next.
“I’m begging you, please don’t do anything so risky next time. It’s not fun at all.” Cyrus sighed. “My heart is pounding.”
"Really?" Ling Qiu curiously pressed her ear against Manwell's chest. Wow, it was true. The heart inside was beating strongly, one beat after another, practically pounding against her eardrums.
So astringent...
Ling Qiu casually touched her nose.
“I won’t do it again, Bobo. I was so angry when He stared at me, I lost my temper…” She buried her face in His chest and gently wrapped her arms around His waist. “I love you, Bobo.”
The figure he was holding paused slightly, and Cyrus was taken aback for a moment before grabbing her hand tightly.
Say it again.
Ling Qiu stepped back: "No."
“Say it again! Call me by my name!” He stared at her with urgent eyes.
Ling Qiu shook her head: "No."
"Scream! Scream! Scream one more time!" Cyrus's voice trembled.
"No." Ling Qiu turned her face away.
"Please!" He pleaded, as if someone had plugged his hole just before he reached his climax. "Please, just say it one more time!"
"No, no, no!" Ling Qiu refused three times in a row. "If you force someone to say something, they won't be sincere!"
“I’m hungry now,” she quickly changed the subject. “So let’s go home right away, I want to eat your cooking.”
"..." Cyrus bit his lip angrily. She was a truly wicked woman, and that had never changed!
Hahahaha...
This was the first time Ling Qiu had ever seen such an adorable expression on Cyrus's face. Ah, He was just too cute!
