Qin Xiao expressed his heartache, lamenting that Ye Xiruan was yet another pitiful person who had been deceived by her appearance.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
As an award-winning actress, Song Qi's acting skills are beyond question. She bit her lip, looking somewhat embarrassed, and lowered her voice: "I overheard your conversation just now."
The young man's expression froze.
“I… I have the same feeling as you, I always feel like someone wants to get into my head.” A hint of fear appeared in Song Qi’s eyes.
Song Qi had her back to Bai Yanxi and the other two, but the three of them could imagine what her expression was just from her voice.
She clenched her fists and took a deep breath: "I have a feeling that... he's not a good person."
She looked anxious, tears welling up in her eyes, and her voice sounded helpless: "I don't dare tell anyone. My friends, except for these few, all think that person is very good. I can't say a bad word about him. I feel very strange."
"Don't worry."
The four young men were getting anxious.
“I don’t know what to do now? I feel like everyone else looks like zombies. I went there yesterday... I saw their expressions and their movements…” Song Qi covered her mouth and stopped talking. “I don’t want to become like that, and I don’t want to eat those disgusting things.”
The young people exchanged glances.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way."
One of the young men lowered his voice: "That person is probably using a mental ability. I have a way to counter such abilities."
Song Qi was a little confused, then paused for a moment, and looked at her with surprise.
The young man was probably seeing such a beautiful girl looking at him with such admiration for the first time, and he was quite embarrassed. He scratched his head.
"But my superpower isn't very strong; at most, I can only protect a few people."
"Then you can practice more." Song Qi blinked.
If that old man can't control the zombies, Song Qi felt he was in good shape.
Qin Xiao rested his chin on his hand and looked at Song Qi: "As expected, the more beautiful a woman is, the more terrifying she is. With just a few words, she revealed all her secrets."
The young man sighed, looking somewhat troubled.
How do I practice?
Song Qi lowered his voice: "We can join forces and bring him down."
She smiled as if she had just thought of something.
The young man looked at Song Qi, unsure what to say, but the hint of joy in his eyes confirmed Song Qi's guess.
“I came from outside, and the outside world has become a dead city.” Song Qi sighed. “There’s no escaping it; there are people eating people outside.”
The young man's expression was rather unpleasant.
"Do you have a solution?"
Song Qi looked at the young man who had just claimed to have superpowers: "As long as you can prevent everyone in this city from being invaded by consciousness, I can kill that person."
The four young men frowned as they looked at Song Qi and glanced around.
Are you sure this is a good place to talk about this kind of thing?
"Oh, you guys know about this too?" Song Qi said with a smile. "Your acting is quite good."
Four young people: ...
The eight of them found another place with a private room and sat around there.
“I am Ye Xiruan.” Song Qi looked at them with a smile. “You recognized me, right? And you deliberately said these things in front of me.”
The young man in the lead sighed.
"My name is Jiang Fushui."
Song Qi nodded: "So, just how many people can your superpower cover?"
"One hundred people."
"This is far too little," Song Qi said, resting his chin on his hand.
Fu Jiangshui looked at Song Qi, unsure of what to say.
"How about we take them into custody in batches? Or just trap them?" Fan Yao said.
“We don’t have enough manpower.” Song Qi rested his chin on his hand. “How about… we lock me and the old man together, and you guys stop the others from outside?”
Fan Yao frowned: "It's too dangerous."
“It’s nothing.” Song Qi tapped the table. “How can I be locked up alone with the old man? That’s the problem. It seems like the old man is never short of people around him.”
The group fell silent.
"Should I go to City C and ask them to come and help?" Fan Yao said.
Song Qi looked at Fan Yao and smiled, a smile tinged with coldness: "Human hearts are unpredictable. You know how they reacted when they found out I had become a zombie. Now that you've become a zombie too, tell me, how are you going to convince them to come with you?"
Bai Yanxi lay on the table, having thought of so many methods recently, but none of them were feasible. It seemed that in the end, they all required Song Qi to forcibly kill Cao Yan.
She looked at Song Qi, wondering why she was so dependent on her.
Song Qi noticed that Bai Yanxi was staring at her, so she raised her hand and ruffled her hair.
Fan Yao fell silent, and sighed as he thought about what had happened on the way.
"How many people like you are there? Are there any other superhumans?" Song Qi asked Jiang Fushui.
“There was one other person. I was the only one with superpowers. The other eleven were my classmates. When the incident happened, I protected them,” Jiang Fushui said.
Song Qi swirled the cup.
On the other side...
"Something's wrong with Ye Xiruan's blood."
"What's going on?" Cao Yan frowned; hearing the name Ye Xiruan gave him a headache.
I don't know why, but I just can't control Ye Xiruan and the people around her.
"It doesn't seem to be her blood; it's been replaced." The person speaking stammered, not daring to look up. Feeling Cao Yan's gaze on him, he felt quite uncomfortable.
"What did you say?" Cao Yan slammed his fist on the table, shattering it into pieces. "It was switched? Is there any CCTV footage?"
“The surveillance is all normal; we can’t find anything.” The man took a step back.
"A bunch of useless trash."
The man looked up, clutched his neck, and his face turned bright red.
Cao Yan looked at the man and sneered. Useless people deserve to die.
He felt it was a pity that Song Qi was not available to him; if Song Qi could be used by him, everything would be much easier.
But the other party was restless.
Although the person from last time didn't escape and left no clues indicating any connection to Song Qi, Cao Yan could still guess.
After exchanging practice methods with Jiang Fushui, Song Qi left with her people, her face extremely pale.
If she had a mech nearby, she would have rushed right up to Cao Yan and stomped him to death.
Song Qi walked among the crowd. Those who were not being controlled looked no different from normal people. These were all innocent people.
She looked up at the lightning rod on the tall building not far away, then looked down at her own hand and squinted.
We should always give it a try.
"Let's go back."
After Song Qi returned, he found Jin Yi.
"Do you have a way to wrap someone up instantly?" Song Qi asked.
Jin Yi paused for a moment, then realized what Song Qi was trying to do. She shook her head: "It's too difficult. It will take at least five or six seconds."
"How can we make the golden threads cover the entire city?" Song Qi asked. She couldn't make her own electricity cover the whole area by herself, but with the help of external forces, she could still find a way to achieve it.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Xi asked, frowning.
"No destruction, no construction." Song Qi uttered these four words, her hands feeling a little cold. She tried to tell herself that everyone in this city was just data, and she could leave as long as she could kill the big boss.
The others fell silent.
“I don’t want to either.” Song Qi closed his eyes. “If it becomes an obstacle, then it has to be this way. When they were controlled by Cao Yan, they were no longer human. If we were patient with the zombies they killed back then, they could have become like this too.”
"What's the difference between killing zombies now and killing zombies before? The only difference is that the zombies now are more likely to eat people."
Song Qi spoke calmly, unsure whether she was trying to convince herself or others.
"Or, we could try to get everyone in the city to leave." Song Qi could imagine himself fighting Cao Yan.
"I'll think of a way to lay the line all the way through," Jin Yi said before returning to his room.
This is indeed a very difficult decision.
Everyone wants to minimize casualties.
After Song Qi went out, she practiced her special ability. Last time when she borrowed eyes, it wasn't so difficult, but now she clearly found that there were far fewer people who could lend them to her.
Cao Yan should be making his move soon.
She glanced at her palm again.
After learning that there was a problem with the blood, Cao Yan went to the laboratory himself. After looking at the reports, he destroyed an entire floor of the building.
The report was clearly wrong; it wasn't Song Qi's report. How come it took them so long to realize that?
"Bring Ye Xiruan back."
"It would be best to bring her back; this little girl is really wicked."
"There's no need to drag this out any longer; the longer we drag it out, the more powerful Ye Xiruan will become."
Cao Yan clenched his fist: "Well, there's no need to drag this out any longer."
Bai Yanxi's new system has been arranged.
Song Qi noticed that Bai Yanxi's expression suddenly became a little strange while eating, but he sighed.
After finishing their meal, Song Qi followed Bai Yanxi upstairs.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yanxi didn't say anything, but pointed to his head.
"How about it?"
"Well enough."
The new system didn't like to talk. After repeating the rules, it went silent, seemingly not intending to have much interaction with her.
Song Qi sneaked in that night to take a look.
"The system said that the female protagonist of this world is very brave, and it turns out it's true."
Song Qi was taken aback when he heard the voice: "You knew I was going to come in, so why didn't you stop me?"
"I can't stop it, so why should I?"
For some reason, Song Qi sensed the same laid-back attitude from this system's tone as his own system.
"I am not a female supporting character system," the system said.
"Um?"
"But she still has to continue following the storyline."
Song Qi noticed that someone had glanced at him a few times, with an expression that resembled that of someone picking out cabbages at the market.
"As expected of General Song, he is indeed impressive. He is not only handsome but also capable."
Song Qi: I feel like something's off.
"Don't worry, I don't have any of those pointless hobbies that system has," the system sighed. "So you can leave now."
Song Qi frowned, opened his eyes, and stared at the ceiling.
It's still very strange.
The next morning when Song Qi ran into Bai Yanxi, she noticed that Bai Yanxi's face turned red instantly when he saw her.
Song Qi: ...
Song Qi: That damn system must have something wrong with it.
"Good morning." Bai Yanxi waved to Song Qi, her voice tinged with shyness. "Um, are you going for a run?"
"Okay." Song Qi looked at Bai Yanxi, who was over 1.7 meters tall and a head taller than her, nodded, and the two went out together.
