Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The Choice of Social Animals
From the moment he fell into the killing array until now, Chi Shuangliu's reactions were too calm, so calm that Lu Kuo began to feel uneasy and couldn't guess what this monster was thinking.
But now, he finally saw Chi Shuangliu's expression change.
He stared at Lu Kuo viciously, his pupils turned a bloody red, and like some reptile, his pupils stood up.
Being stared at by the vicious and sinister gaze of the higher predator, Lu Kuo's hair stood on end unconsciously, and the instinct of ancient animals awakened. His heart almost burst with extreme fear.
He will definitely die!! He will definitely die!!
Lu Kuo immediately turned his gaze to Chen Run. Anger filled her face, which showed that his words had worked. She had already developed murderous intentions towards Chi Shuangliu.
Driven by his survival instinct, Lu Kuo eagerly shouted, "Chen Run, what are you waiting for?!"
Chi Shuangliu spat out another mouthful of blood and tried to move his body, but failed.
He stared at Chen Run, and the look in his eyes did not seem to be one of fear of being killed, but rather of panic at being exposed.
Because he clenched his teeth, his cheeks bulged slightly, and he suddenly sneered: "Come on then."
Chen Run didn't pay any attention to what Chi Shuangliu said. She angrily questioned Lu Kuo, "What you mean is, you knew seven people died before, and you still invited me in?"
She was furious and launched into a tearful accusation, a lament from a worker: "According to the Labor Law, employers are obligated to inform employees of occupational hazards during recruitment. Yet you didn't mention a single word. How unethical of you!"
Chi Shuangliu: "..."
Lu Kuo: “…”
Everyone present had a complicated and bewildered expression on their face as they watched helplessly as the battle of superpowers turned into a workplace dispute between the boss and the employees.
Lu Kuo was speechless. "Calm down. It was indeed my mistake, but I couldn't help it. The law prohibits ordinary people from having contact with people with special abilities, and I've made a lot of preparations to ensure your safety."
He paused, then continued, "I can compensate you tenfold for all your losses. The most urgent task is to eradicate Chi Shuangliu!"
Shen Run spat at him: "Bah, you still want to coax me, if you keep talking nonsense I will beat you up!"
She put down the eggs and the basket, took a step forward to stand in front of Chi Shuangliu, with electric light all over her body: "I'm warning you, leave now, otherwise I will not be polite to you!" As she spoke, she raised her right hand, and the blazing electric light crackled.
As a college student who graduated less than a year ago, her worldview is still in black and white. She has no concept of "gray area" or "everyone is a villain". In her opinion, since Lu Kuo is a bad guy, then Chi Ge must be a good guy!
Intellectually, Chi Shuangliu had previously mentioned that he was locked up under a parasol for experiments, and she had also witnessed with her own eyes that group of people drew more than a thousand milliliters of his blood for research. The seven people who died before might have been sent by Lu Kuo to conduct some perverted experiment and were killed in return. Otherwise, how could she be still alive after taking care of Chi Ge for so long?
Emotionally, the two are now lovers, so there is no way she would help an outsider, not to mention that Lu Kuo is a vicious capitalist who exploits workers. He must want to kill Chi Ge and take his body back for experiments.
Chi Shuangshuang laughed happily and even fell to the ground laughing.
In just this short delay, the effective time of the four-dimensional cage ended, and the space that had been infinitely stretched and distorted quickly returned to normal, turning into the old and dilapidated house that Chen Run rented.
Chi Shuangliu regained his freedom and slowly stood up, holding onto the wall. He kept laughing while spitting out blood: "Game time is over——"
He gently swept his palm across, and the space shook and twisted. Lu Kuo and several psychics disappeared in an instant, and the crowded living room became empty in an instant.
It was the first time that Chen Run saw Chi Shuangliu move his hands. She couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Where did they go? Why don't we hand them over to the patrol team?"
Chi Shuangliu spat out another mouthful of blood, half leaned against the wall, and stretched out his hand to her: "Come here."
Seeing him so badly injured, Chen Run immediately forgot about Lu Kuo and the others. She walked over and supported him: "Brother Chi, are you okay? I'll take you to the hospital." After she said this, she began to wonder: "Can people with superpowers go to ordinary hospitals for treatment?"
Chi Shuangliu didn't answer. He lifted her chin with one hand, lowered his eyes and looked at her carefully, as if he was in a trance.
Shen Run opened her mouth to speak, but he suddenly kissed her without a word.
Unlike the last time, which was purely to relieve thirst and full of animalistic kiss, this time it was more like a warm and affectionate kiss between humans. He pressed his lips gently against hers, kissing her lips with great patience.
He didn't even try to force his way in, he just kissed her so tenderly.
The kiss was an excellent experience. They kissed for nearly ten minutes, and only when Chen Run felt a little short of breath did he move away in time.
After staring at her for a while, he asked inexplicably, "Why don't you kill me?" His voice rose subtly, and his tone was filled with a strange joy: "Do you like me that much?"
She likes him so much that she is willing to break her principles for him, and she can't bear to hurt him even though she knows he has killed someone.
Chen Run was confused by his question: "Why should I kill you? You are a good person."
This answer was too different from what he expected. Chi Shuanglun paused and said, "I am... a good person?"
"Yes, you're a good person. You've helped me so many times," Shen Run nodded affirmatively. "Lu Kuo is a piece of shit. He captured you for experiments and even recruited me into a high-risk position without telling me. We're in this together. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"
Chi Shuangliu was silent for even longer this time, his expression strange and uncertain: "What if I'm not a good person, will you still like me?"
Chen Run was puzzled: "But you are a good person, why do you make such an assumption?"
Chi Shuangliu was extremely persistent about the answer to this question, and even showed a rare hint of anxiety.
He demanded aggressively, "Tell me the answer."
Shen Run could only answer honestly: "...That might be a bit difficult."
She scratched her head and said, "I think if two people want to be together, they must at least be kind and upright. Otherwise, they won't be able to stay together for long."
Chi Shuangliu's expression fluctuated, and a few purple-blue blood lines appeared under his eyes. He seemed to be angry, but before he could say anything, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Chen Run didn't care about his weird behavior anymore and hurriedly helped him to the sofa: "Don't talk for now, just lie down for a while." She didn't know how to treat the injuries left by the mutant, so she asked nervously: "Do you want to eat something? Do you want me to buy some medicine?"
Chi Shuangliu stared at her for a while, then suddenly turned his back and ignored her.
Chen Run: “???”
She was very worried about whether Chi Shuangliu could recover from such a serious injury, but she didn't expect that he would basically return to normal the next day, without even a small wound on his body.
The only strange thing was his attitude. He seemed to be avoiding her these past two days and was not as enthusiastic towards her as before. Chen Run was completely confused and could only blame it on his injury and bad mood.
Today is payday for her part-time job at the convenience store. As soon as Shen Run checked the accounts, she found that she was missing 200 yuan in attendance bonus. She immediately called the store manager, but no one answered after several attempts. Although she is not short of money now, it does not mean that the store manager can deduct her salary at will. This is her hard-earned money!
Chen Run went out to ask for her salary with high spirits, but within half an hour, she came back dejected.
Chi Shuangliu wasn't surprised by her expression at all. He crossed his arms with a strange smile on his face. "Why? Didn't your kindness and integrity help you get your salary back?"
Chen Run looked suffocated. "I took sick leave last month. I clearly called the store manager to tell him about it, but he insisted that I didn't. He said that the two days I was sick counted as leave, so I couldn't get the attendance bonus!"
Even though she had no social experience, she knew that she was being maliciously framed by the store manager. After thinking it over, she still couldn't get over it, so she called the boss to complain.
Chi Shuangliu's lips moved slightly, and seeing that she was panting with anger, he suppressed the urge to mock her.
While she was in a panic, he pushed the door open and walked out quietly.
The next day, the boss asked Shen Run to come over. As soon as she arrived at the store entrance, she saw an old lady with a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen crying in the convenience store: "... Both of his legs are broken, and he's still in a coma in the hospital. How are we, an old man and a child, going to survive?"
The female boss also looked regretful. She counted out a thousand yuan and donated it to them while comforting them.
Chen Run listened for a while before he understood what was going on. It turned out that the store manager was hit by a car when he was buying groceries after get off work yesterday, and was seriously injured. He didn't know if he would be able to stand up again in the future. He definitely couldn't do this job anymore, so two of his family members came to help him with the resignation procedures.
This old lady is his mother and the little girl is his daughter. His wife passed away a few years ago and he has never dared to remarry for the sake of his children. He has been relying on himself to earn money every day to support his family, do laundry, cook and take care of the children. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other and have a very good relationship.
When the accident happened to him, the pillar of the family collapsed. The old lady was in poor health and the children were still waiting for tuition to be paid. The grandfather and grandson burst into tears.
Chen Run was so angry yesterday that she wanted to beat up the store manager to vent her anger. Now she felt very uncomfortable. The boss gave her a 200 yuan attendance bonus, but she didn't want it. After thinking about it, she stuffed it into the hands of the grandfather and grandson, turned around and left without saying a word.
Chi Shuangliu was reading at home to learn about human civilization. When he saw her come in, he put down the book in his hand and raised his voice subtly: "How is it? Did you get your salary back?"
He looked smug, even trying to take credit for it: "Did you vent your anger? Do you feel better?"
Chen Run wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What's good about that? The store manager was in a car accident and broke both legs. His mother and daughter were crying when they came to handle the resignation procedures. It made me feel so bad."
Chi Shuangliu's smug expression faltered slightly. "Aren't you happy? He bullied you so much, why did you sympathize with him?"
"It's not really sympathy. If he fell on the road and stepped on poop when he got out, I'd be happy, but it's only two hundred yuan after all. I wouldn't gloat over someone's misfortune if he broke two legs."
Chen Run tilted his head back and drank a glass of water, then wiped his mouth: "I didn't take the two hundred yuan. Anyway, I'm not short of money now, so I might as well leave the money to the grandparents."
Chi Shuangliu's expression turned completely cold, and he couldn't help but say sarcastically: "You really are a 'good person'."
Chen Run felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, blushing modestly: "Not really, I just did what I should do." She chuckled shyly and changed the subject: "Brother Chi, have you eaten yet? What do you want to eat tonight?"
"..." Chi Shuangliu said with a forced smile: "I'm going to sleep, you can do whatever you want."
He started the cold violence mode and went back to the bedroom after saying that, leaving his girlfriend with an indifferent back and letting her guess for herself.
It was not until midnight that he heard a noise in the living room, so he got out of bed and turned on the light to check, and saw Chen Run coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of freshly cooked hot and sour noodles.
Although he was still upset about Shen Run's words, he could generously forgive her for a while because she cooked for him in the middle of the night.
Chi Shuangliu said with dignity: "Forget it, I won't be angry with you for the time being."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the bowl from her.
"Huh??? Are you mad at me? When?"
Chen Run slurped a mouthful of the hot and sour noodles he cooked for himself in shock.
Chi Shuangliu's noble arms froze in mid-air.
