◎Because I want you to live◎
Huo Wenxi walked out of Zhu Ning's house. The Noble Queen Store was essentially a containment department. The contaminated spores collected would be sold to the cleaning center and was considered a part of the center.
She had read the files before coming here. Song Zhizhang was once a demon hunter in District 2. With his qualifications, he should not appear in District 103. His defensive ability is very rare.
Huo Wenxi stopped in the store for a while and wanted to talk to Song Zhizhang, but she quickly gave up the idea.
When Huo Wenxi pushed the door open and walked out, Zhuang Lin was standing at the door. He was standing in the snow and opened the car door after seeing Huo Wenxi.
Huo Wenxi's expression remained unchanged. She just lit a cigarette and looked at Zhuang Lin.
Zhuang Lin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. Huo Wenxi looked at him as if he were looking at prey. Zhuang Lin asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Wenxi exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, "Are you really not leaving?"
Huo Wenxi just gave Zhuang Lin's pass to Zhu Ning.
Zhuang Lin thought Huo Wenxi was going to ask some questions. He closed the car door, leaned against the car, and smiled gently, "I really don't want to leave."
Zhuang Lin left, and it was too dangerous for Huo Wenxi to stay alone in Area 103.
Huo Wenxi didn't say anything, just smoked, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhuang Lin asked, "Have you found Song Zhizhang?"
Huo Wenxi came to the Noble Queen Store for two purposes, one was to see Zhu Ning, and the other was to see Song Zhizhang.
Huo Wenxi: “I didn’t ask.”
Zhu Ning's request was to send Song Zhizhang away. Huo Wenxi hesitated for a moment and chose the former between emotion and reason.
Zhuang Lin can't leave, but Zhu Ning's people can.
Zhuang Lin smiled, not surprised by the result. Huo Wenxi asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhuang Lin: "I think you're a nice person."
Huo Wenxi: "Psycho."
"Let's go." Huo Wenxi finished smoking a cigarette and was about to get in the car to leave. That's when the accident happened.
After just a few steps, Huo Wenxi suddenly stopped. Her movements were so unnatural that Zhuang Lin's first reaction was that someone was attacking her.
But the attack did not come from outside, but from inside Huo Wenxi's body.
Huo Wenxi felt a chill on his back and his heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate.
Bang, bang, bang, bang—
She seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat, each one louder and louder, and the contractions becoming faster and faster.
It's too fast, it's almost beyond human physiological limits.
Her eyes were stinging. They were already aching from the injury, but now the pain was getting more and more intense, as if countless needles were piercing her from the inside out.
What was even more terrifying was that she sensed the pollutants below. The ground beneath her feet seemed to disappear in an instant, and she was standing right above the huge pollutants.
The pollutant was watching her.
Seeing her pale face, Zhuang Lin immediately walked forward. As soon as he touched Huo Wenxi, the other party suddenly grabbed his arm.
The force used was very strong, and Zhuang Lin felt that Huo Wenxi was not feeling well, as if she was resisting something.
The two forces were intertwining in her body, and it was difficult to tell which would win.
Huo Wenxi barely managed to stand steady by holding on to Zhuang Lin's arm. Her injured right eye was twitching, as if what was in the eye socket was not an eyeball but a bloody heart.
The eyeball swelled, like a living thing, shrinking and moving, making a sticky sound as it squirmed.
Huo Wenxi covered his right eye and even had a strange thought, wanting to crush his eyeball and press the eye into his brain.
"Wenxi?" Someone called her, "Wenxi!"
She couldn't hear Zhuang Lin's voice, and crazy mutterings rang in her ears.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, as if a needle had been stuck in a balloon that had been inflated to its limit.
Puff——
She heard the sound of something exploding, and countless images appeared before her eyes.
The cold liquid was injected into her body along her neck. It was a powerful mental healing agent.
Her heartbeat slowed down, and her swollen right eye began to shrink, as if it were a worm entwined in her right eye socket.
The earth spread out again under her feet, isolating her from the pollutants, and she could no longer feel them.
Huo Wenxi's vision was blurred and it was extremely difficult for her to refocus. She first saw a large area of snow.
After a while, the things in front of me began to take shape: the shops on the street, the flashing neon lights in the distance, and Zhuang Lin in front of me.
The other party didn't hold the injection firmly, and it fell to the snow with a plop.
Zhuang Lin frowned and looked at Huo Wenxi in shock.
The situation was so chaotic just now that Zhuang Lin didn't even know what was happening. Based on the situation, he gave Huo Wenxi an injection of mental healing agent. It seemed that he made the right decision.
But he couldn't be completely sure, because now Huo Wenxi's black eye mask had slipped off, revealing his right eye completely.
Zhuang Lin had seen Huo Wenxi's injured eye before. It was not much different from an ordinary human eye, except that blood accumulated in the eye socket, which took two hours to stop. Since then, she has lost her vision and is extremely afraid of light. The medical department suggested that she wear an eye patch and avoid exposure to light.
Now her right eye had changed. It was a blood-red eye, with blood swirling in the eye socket, and in the center of the eye was a pitch-black vertical pupil.
Those were not human eyes, but rather the eyes of a demon that had suddenly opened.
…
Noble Queen Store.
Zhu Ning stared at the passes in his hand for a long time. There were only three passes in total, and they were so precious.
She thought about it for a while and came up with the answer.
Zhu Ning put away the notebook on the table. He always felt that this notebook was very strange and there were still many secrets that had not been discovered.
Zhu Ning didn't have time to think about the notebook. He planned to wait until the matter in District 103 was completely over before studying it - if it could really be completely over.
She put the notebook in the safe in her bedroom closet, but couldn't find a safer place, so this was the safest place.
After doing all this, Zhu Ning took the pass and prepared to find Song Zhizhang.
She wanted to send Song Zhizhang and Lin Xiaofeng away. Zhu Ning once wanted Lin Xiaofeng to be her employee, but not now. She was secretly thinking in her heart that if Zhu Ning really won, she would take Lin Xiaofeng with her wherever she went.
If Zhu Ning's mission fails, she hopes Lin Xiaofeng can survive.
As soon as Zhu Ning opened the door, he found someone standing opposite him.
Song Zhizhang leaned against the opposite wall, half his face in shadow, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting. Zhu Ning had noticed before that when Song Zhizhang didn't speak, he looked very lonely from certain angles.
Like a fragile work of art.
Zhu Ning raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing?"
Song Zhizhang: "Waiting for you."
He spoke in a very soft voice, which made people feel soft-hearted. Zhu Ning really liked his tone and asked, "Where's Xiaofeng?"
Song Zhizhang: "Upstairs."
Song Zhizhang paused and asked, "Is what you told me this morning going to come true?"
District 103 started to become chaotic today. There were only a few customers in the Queen's Inn, and the wealthy ones had already left.
Negative news flooded the Internet, and a crisis seemed to be brewing. Song Zhizhang knew that what Zhu Ning said this morning should be true.
Zhu Ning hummed, "Really."
She roughly explained what had happened. Song Zhizhang listened silently, and after she finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.
It was as if death had come and polluted the air.
Zhu Ning found that Song Zhizhang didn't seem to be very afraid. As he said, he came to this abandoned area just to wait for death.
Zhu Ning walked to Song Zhizhang's side and stood against the wall, just like today when Zhu Ning was standing in the snow in a daze, Song Zhizhang would stand with her.
From Song Zhizhang's perspective, Zhu Ning only saw the door of his own home. What was so good about it?
Zhu Ning asked, "You don't really want to leave, do you?"
Song Zhizhang was silent.
Zhu Ning asked, "Have you ever experienced anything?"
Judging from Song Zhizhang's performance, he may have experienced something very cruel.
"If you don't tell me, there will be no chance again." Zhu Ning has always been curious about what is under Song Zhizhang's turtleneck sweater.
Song Zhizhang: "A man is charming only when he has secrets."
It was this sentence again. Song Zhizhang was like a clam shell, and Zhu Ning wanted to pry him open violently.
For a moment, no one spoke, except for the holographic stripper dancing in the hallway, a faint blue light enveloping the hallway.
"Zhu Ning," Song Zhizhang said, "I can stay and help you. My ability is..."
"I know what your ability is." Zhu Ning interrupted what he was about to say.
Song Zhizhang was stunned. Zhu Ning continued, "Prometheus must have chosen you for a reason. During the time I lived in your shop, no one bothered me."
Zhu Ning browsed the forum and saw that some people called her the New Age Witch, some called her the Devilman, and they all wanted to burn her to death to vent their anger.
It's not a completely secret that Zhu Ning lives in the Noble Queen Hotel. So far, no one has come to test it, which proves that they are very afraid of this place.
Zhu Ning had seen Song Zhizhang's ability once. Although the range of use was very small, just wrapping Lin Xiaofeng, it was a fortress.
Song Zhizhang: "Why?"
Prometheus arranged him for today. Zhu Ning should "use" him without any scruples, and Song Zhizhang would be willing to die for her.
Zhu Ning: "Because I want you to live."
Zhu Ning recalled her conversation with Song Zhizhang. She asked, "You won't live long, will you?" Song Zhizhang replied that if he didn't do anything messy, he could survive.
So what does it mean to mess around? Is it to overuse your capacity?
It is very likely that Song Zhizhang's special ability will become less and less the more he uses it, and continuing to use it will only backfire on him.
Zhu Ning could imagine how others would "exploit" Song Zhizhang, forcing him to defend himself again and again until his last bit of vitality was exhausted.
Zhu Ning counted that the previous eleven years were the life of the first generation Zhu Ning. She had only been in this world for two months. During these two months, Song Zhizhang treated her very well, and she truly lived under Song Zhizhang's protection.
Song Zhizhang doesn't have to be a puppet of artificial intelligence, Zhu Ning can win without him.
Song Zhizhang suddenly didn't know what to say. No one had ever said this to him before.
He has heard so many nice words, but no one would say, I want you to live.
Just simply live.
Zhu Ning: "Stretch out your hand."
Song Zhizhang stretched out his hand, and Zhu Ning handed him a metal box, which he kept in his palm, and which had the warmth of human body.
A pass.
Everything Zhu Ning said was true. She was telling the truth about the end of the world and giving him the pass.
She always does what she says.
Zhu Ning: "You promised to take Lin Xiaofeng away. She needs someone to take care of her."
Song Zhizhang suddenly felt that the thin chip was as heavy as a mountain, and he was a little unsteady.
"Hey, look at me," Zhu Ning turned her head and looked him in the eye. "You said you believed I would win."
Song Zhizhang's eyes followed Zhu Ning like a moth following a light source. He was suddenly speechless. As long as Zhu Ning won, they would meet again.
Zhu Ning: "We agreed that you would tell me the secret after this is over."
When everything is settled, she will definitely take off the turtleneck sweater. She wants to see what is underneath.
Song Zhizhang: "When did I..."
Zhu Ning: "You agreed anyway."
Why force buying and selling?
Zhu Ning: "But I only have three. The other two will be useful. Someone will go with you tomorrow. You can ask Xiaofeng to go invisible then."
Song Zhizhang blinked slowly before realizing, "You're asking her to evade the fare?"
Zhu Ning argued confidently: "How can this be considered fare evasion? In my hometown, children ride the ferry for free."
Song Zhizhang: “…”
Zhu Ning: "Of course, if she fails to evade the ticket, you will have to give the ticket to Xiaofeng."
Song Zhizhang: “…”
Thank you, I am touched, but not much.
"I believe this little thing won't be difficult for you," Zhu Ning pushed Song Zhizhang, "Come on, go upstairs and see what Xiaofeng is doing."
Song Zhizhang was pushed by Zhu Ning, their bodies passed through the projection, and the stripper's body was smashed apart.
The first floor was empty; the store employees were on holiday. It was the first time Zhu Ning saw such an empty store so late at night.
They walked to the first floor and continued up the stairs until they reached the eighth floor, going up one floor at a time.
It was as if two monsters walked out of the basement, walked higher and higher, and finally opened the door, and the man in the red hat hugged Zhu Ning.
Their actions were in perfect sync. Zhu Ning held Xiaofeng in her arms. She felt Lin Xiaofeng's heartbeat and for the first time experienced the feeling of the first generation Zhu Ning. Was she in the same mood when she decided to restart and eliminate her individual will?
