Duanmu Qing lay on the white bed with a blank and hopeless look in her eyes, staring at the equally white ceiling, "Dad...Mom...Everyone..."
The relatives who had been persecuted in the past kept flashing through her mind, and those happy scenes now turned into tears, sliding down her cheeks silently.
After all, she was still just a girl. Faced with the current desperate situation, she was unwilling to compromise, and the last measure of resistance she could think of was suicide, but she couldn't do it.
Because the collar on the neck can monitor the strong thoughts of the holder at all times, as long as there is suicidal behavior, it will immediately trigger an electric shock, causing the suicide to be terminated.
Moreover, in this Federal Pharmaceutical Chiyan branch, there are too many high-quality healing medicines. Even if the suicide is successful, medical staff will immediately come to treat the wounds and save the person.
Prisoners of her level could even summon healing potions and would never die.
As for using the nightmare world to escape? It's not that she hadn't thought about it, but Chu Shang was more thoughtful than she thought.
There is still at least half a month before she enters the nightmare world again. Chu Shang has already prepared the insomnia potion and will let her take it when the time comes.
A bottle of insomnia potion can make a person unable to sleep for a month. Chu Shang's original plan was to let her take the insomnia potion continuously and give up sleep forever.
Although people will die if they do not sleep for a long time, Chu Shang will use various rare potions to keep her alive. Even though this will greatly shorten her lifespan, the company does not care about the life or death of a tool. It only cares that this tool can create the due value as much as possible while he is alive.
Duanmu Qing thought of all the possible solutions, but in the end there was no solution. She realized that she might never be able to take revenge, and might even be controlled by her enemies and imprisoned forever to make medicine.
The most terrifying thing is that the company will squeeze out her last bit of value, and wait until the last stage of her life to force her to conceive and give birth to a new [Breath of Wood Spirit]!
Despair, endless despair.
"Why is this world always full of despair?" Duanmu Qing muttered to herself with empty eyes looking at the ceiling.
"Miss Mu, is my medicine ready?" Su Mu's gentle voice sounded in Duanmu Qing's ears.
Duanmu Qing's originally empty eyes quickly focused. She struggled to support her body and looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a calm and elegant figure standing quietly in front of her.
At that moment, she seemed to come alive, and her black gemstone-like eyes glowed again, as if the soul was re-injected into her body.
"Su...Mr. Su!" She looked at Su Mu in front of her tremblingly, fearing that this was just her illusion.
Su Mu smiled slightly, and that smile in Duanmu Qing's eyes was like the warm sunshine in spring, the first ray of light that illuminated her dark life.
"Long time no see, Miss Mu."
"Hello... Long time no see, Mr. Su." Duanmu Qing said tremblingly. The sudden surprise made her tears, which had originally stopped, seem to be about to burst out.
When people are most desperate, if they meet a savior, they will really cry for joy.
Duanmu Qing was especially convinced that as long as Su Mu took action, she would be saved. The scene in the Sea Kingdom where Su Mu single-handedly overthrew the Sea Kingdom and defeated the Sea God's followers was still vivid in her mind.
"Su...Mr. Su, are you here to save me?" Duanmu Qing's voice was full of trembling anticipation.
Su Mu shook his head: "I'm here to get medicine."
Duanmu Qing's eyes dimmed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I was arrested by the company before I could gather all the raw materials for [Endless Recovery]."
Su Mu smiled without changing his face: "I really can't do anything with you, it seems I have to save you first, then remember to help me make medicine after you get out."
Duanmu Qing's body trembled, and her beautiful eyes stared at the man in front of her without blinking. The gentle smile on the other's mouth quickly filled her desperate and empty heart.
Suddenly, she burst into laughter and nodded vigorously: "Well, it's a deal!"
Having said this, she paused and added softly, "Thank you, Mr. Su."
"You're welcome. Tell me what happened first, and then I'll figure out how to get you out."
Duanmu Qing was about to speak, but her expression became nervous: "Mr. Su, someone comes to check on my cell every once in a while. If they find you..."
"Don't worry, they can't find me." As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, he disappeared, as if he had never existed.
Duanmu Qing was slightly startled and asked cautiously, "Mr. Su?"
"I'm here." Su Mu's voice rang in Duanmu Qing's mind: "This is a spiritual connection. You don't need to speak out loud, just communicate with me directly in your mind."
Duanmu Qing nodded her head, then lay back down on the bed, returning to her previous expressionless look.
"Mr. Su, can you hear me?"
"Yes, I can hear you. How long have you been arrested?"
"I was arrested in the past two days. Actually, I lied to you before. My real name is Duanmu Qing, and I am not from the Red Flame Empire."
"I know, the Duanmu family of the Longyuan Empire." Sumu had just learned all this information in Duanmu Qing's dream.
The Duanmu family is an aristocratic family of the Longyuan Empire. Although their fighting power is not strong, they are famous for refining medicine. Their ancestors founded the Federal Pharmaceutical Company, and initially the company's business was limited to the territory of the Longyuan Empire.
Later, as the company became more famous, more and more people bought shares, not only from the Longyuan Empire but also from other empires, and more and more branches were opened.
But as the number of shareholders increased, the Duanmu family, which was only good at refining medicine, began to be sidelined, and the concepts of both sides began to diverge greatly.
The Duanmu family originated from a medical family. The ancestral motto they followed was to save the world with medicine. Later, by chance, they became extraordinary people, until the first golden strongman was born, and thus they became among the nobles.
After becoming nobles, the Duanmu family did not forget their original aspirations and used their abilities to develop new drugs to save lives. However, all this changed with the establishment of the Federal Pharmaceutical Company.
As various forces became invested, the Duanmu family gradually fell from being the helmsman to a marginal figure, and in the end they were only responsible for refining medicine. When the types of extraordinary medicines researched by the Duanmu family exceeded one thousand, enough to meet various demands on the market, their value was gradually squeezed out.
The major shareholders wanted to make more money, so they planned to release plague medicine and then sell the antidote, but they were stopped by the Duanmu family, and the persecution began.
In the face of human desires, the Duanmu family was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They attempted to expose the company's behavior, but the ultimate result was massacre and imprisonment.
The worthless members of the tribe were slaughtered, while the valuable ones were imprisoned to make medicine. Of course, some escaped.
Duanmu Qing was one of those who escaped.
An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. This sentence is most suitable for the Duanmu family, who have outstanding ability in refining medicine, but lack the corresponding strength to protect it.
