327 Puppet
◎He can become Zhu Ning's slave◎
After Pei Shu said the last word, he revealed his past bit by bit, but Zhu Ning didn't say a word.
The only sound in the entire shelter was the sound of the wind. Pei Shu seemed to be exiled to the wilderness again, with nothingness all around him.
Here it comes again, no sense of presence.
Suddenly, Pei Shu's eyes darkened. Zhu Ning stood before him in the backlight. "Look at me."
Pei Shu met Zhu Ning's eyes. The silk thread around Pei Shu's neck became tighter and tighter. Zhu Ning might be really angry and probably wanted to kill him directly. Pei Shu suddenly smiled when he thought of this. Zhu Ning cared about him, so she was angry.
Zhu Ning was just like herself, mentally ill, but Pei Shu wanted to commit suicide, while she wanted to kill people.
Two people close to her have died. Zhu Ning knows that she needs to get over the death of her relatives and friends, but she won't be able to get over it until Prometheus dies.
When Zhu Ning was having an affair, Huo Wenxi said he would arrange a teammate for her. Her first reaction was to refuse until Huo Wenxi said that it was an undead.
Bai Cheng will not die, Huo Wenxi promised it himself.
It was Zhu Ning who really took the initiative to recruit Pei Shu, but when she chose Pei Shu, she didn't know that he was going to commit suicide. If she had known, she would never have gone to find him.
In the company's contaminated area, Wang Qinqian wanted to die, and she died very easily in the end. Zhu Ning knew that people who wanted to die could not be saved.
What's more, Pei Shu's condition didn't seem to be a mental illness at all, nor was it a specific psychological disorder, so years of treatment by psychologists had been ineffective.
It seems more like there is something wrong with his body, and some part of his body has been affected by an unknown creature, which has directly cut off his existence.
It wasn't even the meaning of existence, but existence itself that was taken away. Zhu Ning couldn't imagine what kind of pain it was.
Zhu Ning is not a real god, so how can she give Pei Shu existence?
Zhu Ning asked a question that most people would find difficult to accept: "Can you accept me controlling you?"
Since it is impossible to give it existence, then strengthen the connection and let it exist because of you.
This was the only solution Zhu Ning could think of, to make Pei Shu his puppet.
Pei Shu had never even connected to a human-machine joint device. He had been educated to seek information all his life and was already helpless. He didn't know what freedom was like and should hate being controlled.
But this was the only condition Zhu Ning gave. This wasn't about being a running dog for the chaebol, this was about handing himself over.
Not just his life, but everything he has, even a strand of his hair must be given to her.
If Zhu Ning wants him to die, he must die; if Zhu Ning wants him to live, he must live.
Would you be willing to become the devil's puppet and give her control of your body?
Zhu Ning didn't touch him at all, and even kept a distance of one meter from him, but Pei Shu was forced to maintain this awkward posture. The thread of consciousness tightly strangled his throat, and Pei Shu felt a little suffocated.
He had no way to escape and could only look into her eyes.
The air was getting less and less, and the more he thought, the more confused his mind became, as if he was being held underwater and about to drown. Unlike the last time she tried to recruit him, Zhu Ning was impatient this time and didn't give him any time to think. She wanted an answer immediately, and she couldn't wait long, she would regret it the next second.
Pei Shu's face turned paler and paler, and he uttered two words from between his teeth: "Okay."
Zhu Ning didn't need to ask for someone's opinion if she wanted to control them. She could have done it directly just now. The fact that she was willing to ask showed that she respected Pei Shu's wishes and would not rashly take over her teammate's body.
Since he needed something to resist nothingness, Pei Shu was willing to try it if Zhu Ning's method was useful.
Pei Shu always felt that he was cursed by the Far North and had become a slave to nothingness. If that was the case, he could become Zhu Ning's slave.
The next second, Pei Shu's neck loosened, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, a large amount of air rushed in, and his bound arms drooped. Zhu Ning loosened all the restraints.
Pei Shu's hands were free, and he was still kneeling. He touched his neck, but couldn't feel anything. Or maybe it was just his illusion. He felt like Zhu Ning had left something on it, like he was wearing an invisible collar.
Zhu Ning was like a professional devil who had made a deal with humans. "Tell me before you go crazy next time, and Bai Cheng will help you too."
Bai Cheng had finished listening to the story and had not disturbed him until now. He threw something over and Pei Shu took it. It was a mental healing potion.
Zhu Ning continued, "I see your madness doesn't last long each time. Tell us more about your condition later so the three of us can prepare."
Pei Shu was applying healing agent to his neck. He had always gone crazy silently before and never told anyone about his condition.
"Take medicine when it's time to take medicine, and rest when it's time to rest." Zhu Ning walked to the car door, opened it, and his tone was not very happy.
She was not recruiting a younger brother to gain control of Pei Shu. The two of them had established some extremely strange connection invisibly. The relationship was mutual. Pei Shu became her puppet, so she had to be responsible. Zhu Ning did not want to be bound by so many relationships.
Zhu Ning opened the car door and found that Lin Xiaofeng had woken up. He didn't know how long he had been listening, but he was leaning against the car window looking at him.
As soon as Zhu Ning opened the door, Lin Xiaofeng coughed lightly and moved inside.
Zhu Ning frowned, thinking that what Pei Shu had just said was not suitable for minors to hear and was a bit too cruel.
Lin Xiaofeng touched his neck and said, "My neck hurts."
Lin Xiaofeng was smart and quickly changed the subject. With a hint of confusion in his tone, he asked, "Was I defeated by the enemy?"
Zhu Ning was silent for a moment, then his mood suddenly brightened. "Bai Cheng called, go find her."
Lin Xiaofeng slowly remembered that she seemed to want to get a task from Bai Cheng in the last second before she fainted. She stuck her head out of the car window and asked, "Really?"
Bai Cheng said seriously: "Really."
Bai Cheng's answer was so straightforward that the person who originally wanted to blame him felt embarrassed. Zhu Ning wanted to add fuel to the fire, but the two of them couldn't start a quarrel, and there was an inexplicable sense of humor when they met.
Zhu Ning laughed, his body relaxed a little, leaned back, and suddenly his smile faded.
Having a deeper understanding of the world outside the wall, Pei Shu was deprived of his existence when he went to the Far North, the land closest to Prometheus. What would Zhu Ning be deprived of in the past?
Zhu Ning's fingers touched her temples, as if she were holding a gun. Would she shoot herself? Perhaps she wasn't as lucky as Pei Shu, who still had a captain who let him go.
team leader……
Zhu Ning's heart sank when she thought of this. She didn't even have the person to let her go.
…
After a night's rest, the dust storm outside the shelter has not stopped.
Pei Shu has recovered to normal. Zhu Ning received the medical record written by Pei Shu, which was written in great detail.
The duration of Pei Shu's madness varies each time, maybe only one or two seconds, and in serious cases he may have to be tied up for a whole night.
He has developed a resistance to the medicines on the market, and mental healing agents are not very effective, but they are better than nothing.
Entering a contaminated area with hallucinogenic effects will increase the probability of going crazy. After all, in hallucinations, even ordinary people will lose their definite sense of existence.
Just tie him up and make him unable to move, and that period will be over.
Now Zhu Ning can directly control him with a puppet, all in one step, which is to some extent the most effective way for Pei Shu to save his life.
Zhu Ning showed the information to Bai Cheng. They should all be prepared. Treating mental illness actually requires a group of people, so the family members should be aware of this.
Bai Cheng didn't find it troublesome at all, and seemed to think it was just a small matter of hitting it with an axe.
Pei Shuzheng and Bai Cheng were discussing what to do next. Zhu Ning didn't understand much and didn't participate. She and Lin Xiaofeng went to repair the car. Zhu Ning used metal manipulation to repair the dented part, but it turned out to be even more bumpy, which made her feel a little sad.
Lin Xiaofeng was tinkering with the car very seriously. She crawled under the car with her small body, and Zhu Ning handed her the tools using a metal handle.
Zhu Ning handed over a wrench and asked, "How much did you hear yesterday?"
Lin Xiaofeng's voice came from under the car, "It's really not much, I didn't understand it very well."
The existence of such a problem may be difficult for ordinary children to understand, but that was Lin Xiaofeng, and Zhu Ning would not believe it. Lin Xiaofeng was much more mature than ordinary children.
Zhu Ning asked, "Have you heard of the Far North?"
Lin Xiaofeng hummed in frustration. Zhu Ning said, "It's quite dangerous there..."
Zhu Ning has been thinking that if it is really that dangerous, Lin Xiaofeng should not go to the Far North.
With a crash, Lin Xiaofeng slid out from under the car. Zhu Ning saw half of a helmet suddenly appear. Lin Xiaofeng said quickly, "You can't leave me."
She heard Zhu Ning drive Pei Shu away with a cold tone, no room for negotiation at all, like a tyrant.
In the end, she was able to control the person. If this was the condition for staying with Zhu Ning, then Zhu Ning would also control herself. Lin Xiaofeng was willing to let her control her.
Lin Xiaofeng: "I'm willing too. Do you want to control me? Then control me."
Zhu Ning smiled. Lin Xiaofeng felt uneasy because he didn't hear any definite assurance. He asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhu Ning: "I think you're quite funny."
Lin Xiaofeng said with a stern face: "Zhu Ning, you are becoming more and more abnormal."
It’s over, Zhu Ning is really about to turn into a devil, Lin Xiaofeng thought.
To be honest, Zhu Ning had never seen Lin Xiaofeng in person, only his photos.
Lin Xiaofeng always puts on a fake smile in front of the camera. I guess every smile she makes now is genuine, but it’s a pity that Zhu Ning can’t see it.
Zhu Ning should pay attention to how to help Lin Xiaofeng solve this problem. He still needs to find something related to Utopia and find more people like Lin Xiaofeng.
Zhu Ning wanted to say something when he caught a glimpse of someone walking towards him. The target was too obvious to be ignored.
The giant Anchi came, and because the storm continued, everyone was trapped in one place and had to deal with each other.
Zhu Ning had the impression that An Chi was particularly gentle, but he didn't know anything else about her. Zhu Ning asked, "Is there something wrong?"
An Chi was silent for a moment, "Are you looking for Utopia?"
Zhu Ning's eyes suddenly became alert. An Chi explained, "Bai Cheng told me. I happen to have some information. If you want it, I can give it to you as a thank you gift."
The source of the pollution was cans. If it weren't for Zhu Ning, it might have taken them some time to figure this out.
Zhu Ning wanted to know about Utopia. When you are away from home, you are less isolated from news. People you don’t know about may have encountered it.
After An Chi and the others finished dealing with trivial matters, they exchanged information with each other and actually got some clues. Someone had walked all the way with the pilgrims, but the others didn't want to deal with Zhu Ning, so An Chi took the initiative to say that she should go.
Zhu Ning became interested. An Chi said, "I haven't had much contact with pilgrims. Yang Qin has met one. She passed by before and met half a pilgrim."
Zhu Ning asked, "Half?"
"Yes," An Chi said, "that man is almost dead, only half of him is left."
Yang Qin was a bounty hunter. She was alone that day and her teammate had died. She went back alone with the remains.
It was raining, night, and there was a forest nearby. It was impossible to travel in this terrain. In the dark, there was no idea what we would encounter.
Yang Qin immediately stopped the car and planned to rest in it for the night. She couldn't sleep, so she turned on the stereo to listen to music. She felt uneasy that day.
Suddenly, Yang Qin heard a bang, as if something hit the car.
Yang Qin felt cold all over and thought she had misheard. It was best not to miss any unusual thing outside the wall. She turned off the music and listened carefully. The knocking sound continued.
It seemed to come from behind. Yang Qin quickly turned off all the lights, flipped from the driver's seat to the back seat, holding a gun in his hand. It was the right door that was knocked.
She leaned against the glass, held her breath, and slowly moved her eyes downwards. Then her pupils trembled, and suddenly she saw a pale face just under the car.
Yang Qin, who was knowledgeable and experienced, was also shocked. After looking carefully, she found that it was a person. But in this crappy polluted world, both people and pollutants could look like humans.
Moreover, only the upper half of the man looked like a human. The lower half was no longer human. His intestines and stomach were dragged all over the ground. This is usually the effect of being cut horizontally. The internal organs will definitely sag without anything to support them.
But that day Yang Qin saw a horrifying scene: her internal organs were crawling in the opposite direction, as if her intestines had their own will and were "running away from home."
Seeing a pool of blood and his intestines wriggling on their own, she realized that the man's lower limbs were not bitten by a monster, but he was attacked by some pollutant, and the lower half of his body left him one after another.
First it was the toes, then the calves, the buttocks, the intestines...
It was like some kind of natural degradation, and Yang Qin happened to encounter this degradation process.
Yang Qin backed away instantly, wanting to drive away immediately, but the man suddenly said, "Don't move, the forest is dangerous."
Yang Qin had already pressed the start button with one hand and was about to rush into the forest in a fit of rage. She was a little confused when she heard this. Was this person saving her?
But how do you know he's not harming her? Maybe he's trying to trick her into staying where she is so he can get infected too.
"I am... a pilgrim..." he shuddered. "All seventy people are dead."
"I... don't want you to die..."
Yang Qin was skeptical, but pilgrims were very naive. She heard that if they saw someone asking for help outside the wall, they would actually go to save them. She thought the bounty hunters were cold-blooded.
Yang Qin looked at the forest ahead, then looked at him, and made a judgment in his mind that this man might really be doing this for his own good. If he wanted to attack, he would have done it by now.
Even if Yang Qin wanted to save him, she didn't have the ability to do so. She was not a healer. The man in front of her was already decomposing and his life was nearing the end.
She could only talk to him through a door. She wanted to ask who he was, but then she thought it was pointless, so she asked, "Do you have any wish?"
It was very normal to die outside the wall. When someone died, they wanted to send something back home. She had taken on this kind of business many times. Anyway, Yang Qin was going back inside the wall, so taking the things back was just on the way.
But the man said, "... take it... to Utopia..."
