Xia Chuhe and the others only knew a little about Li Yue's past.
Li Yue was an informant planted by the higher-ups at the Caishi base. She kept watch over Sister Li's food shop, observing the people coming and going and gathering information from the shop. Occasionally, she would run errands for those on orders from above in the vicinity.
There was a listening device in the food store, and Li Yue had a remotely controlled bomb embedded behind her ear.
Those in higher positions had been paying close attention to Xia Chuhe's situation, and Li Yue had also provided them with information.
That's all Xia Chuhe knew about Li Yue.
Ever since Li Yue, in the dungeon, in front of everyone, removed the remote-controlled bomb behind her ear and repeatedly sacrificed herself to seek a way out for everyone, Xia Chuhe has never doubted her again.
In addition, Li Yue's loyalty in the follower's handbook reached 90, a value that would never betray her, so Xia Chuhe did not deliberately inquire about her past.
Everyone has their own story; there's no need to force others to reveal their wounds.
Just like Xia Chuhe, he still hasn't told anyone about the time travel or the so-called Spark Project.
Zhu Guanshan did the same; she told her story but didn't mention why she ran away from home, nor did she mention her conflict with Guan Wuji.
Guan Wuji was the one who raised Zhu Guanshan, but Zhu Guanshan's surname was not "Guan". Presumably, she just took the radical of "Guan" and made up a pseudonym for traveling outside.
Now, with the introduction mentioned by Zhu Guanshan, Li Yue took the initiative to talk about her past and thoroughly explained the so-called information network, canary, and other settings.
"The canary is an ancient bird that was mostly kept in cages. The so-called food store is nothing more than a cage that imprisons me."
This kind of cage exists in at least one of these bases, which also means that each base has at least one hidden mole arranged by Guan Wuji.
Even if I escape, the higher-ups will immediately arrange for someone else to operate the business in the base, with a different location and name.
The Canary and Five Star companies cooperated, one operating openly and the other covertly. Every month, I would compile valuable information and report it. Sometimes, I would also leave out specific details required by the company.
At the Colored Stone Base, the person I was working with was originally an inconspicuous employee of Five Star Company. Because of my special ability to help Five Star Company find the medicinal herbs they needed, I was given a senior liaison officer, who was essentially my butler.
Let's leave all that aside for now and talk about the characteristics of canaries.
Although I've only met a few others like me, I know that all canaries are just like me—fragile. At least, that's how it appears on the surface.
Guan Wuji likes things and people that are gentle and harmless. Even a canary, though sharp, will hide its edge beneath a harmless surface.
As Xia Chuhe listened to Li Yue's account, he recalled the scene where she decisively cut open the skin behind her ear and pulled out the miniature bomb.
Xia Chuhe smiled gently...
How could someone who can survive in the wasteland be associated with weakness?
Guan Wuji misjudged the person, and he won't be wrong just once.
Among hundreds of canaries, Li Yue is not the only one with pride and courage.
Li Yue's narration continued: "Another characteristic of the canary is that it is an artificial human."
Li Yue frowned: "Now that I think about it, I'm not really sure if I'm a cyborg or not. Guan Wuji said I am, so I can only be. He provided me with free gene serums as part of my payment for working for him."
The gene-enhancing agents I used were all personally delivered to my door by the junior employee who was in contact with me. I always thought they were just ordinary agents. Now that I think about it…”
Li Yue looked at Zhu Guanshan and smiled bitterly: "Those should all be antidotes in the gene serum bottles."
"That's too cunning!" Zhu Guanshan said indignantly.
All she knew was that the canary needed an antidote, but she didn't realize that even the canary itself was unaware of this.
No wonder Guan Wuji dared to let Canary go into the dungeon.
In the instance, the bomb's remote control will be completely disabled, essentially giving the canary a chance to escape.
However, the canaries did not know that their apparent escape actually gave the slow poison time to develop.
Even if they are not controlled by remote-controlled bombs, they will eventually die from illness.
If it weren't for the chance encounter with Zhu Guanshan, who was at odds with Guan Wuji and took the initiative to tell these things, Li Yue would never have imagined that the root of her illness was actually Guan Wuji.
Zhu Guanshan's account happens to correspond with parts of the "Hell Without Love".
Zhu Guanshan hated Guan Wuji, so the worst person in the Loveless Hell took on the identity of Guan Wuji, and the person who plotted to kill Lu Dangui also became Guan Wuji.
Xia Chuhe couldn't help but remind himself that he must not let preconceived notions get the better of him.
Guan Wuji is not a good person, but that doesn't mean he's the only one in the upper echelons with malicious intentions!
Perhaps there are others lurking in the shadows, watching us with predatory intent!
“In that case, I have a way to temporarily alleviate your symptoms.” Xia Chuhe pursed his lips. “We’ll go to the nearest base, locate Canary and Five Star Company, and steal the drug.”
“I have an idea too.” Li Yue’s eyes were dark and deep. She clutched her chest and took a few deep breaths. “Kill Guan Wuji.”
The poison seed may appear to be a type of poison, but it is actually just a superpower. If the user of the power dies, the power will naturally cease to function.
Zhu Guanshan clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Great idea, I want to join!"
Xia Chuhe smiled and said, "Then we'll have to plan this carefully."
...
The three discussed their plan to steal the medicine in the small camp. Xia Chuhe and Zhu Guanshan then came out together, leaving Li Yue to rest inside.
Although Xia Chuhe did not intend to force Zhu Guanshan to reveal his background, he wanted to learn more about the upper echelons, especially about the Hell of No Love.
The two walked to a spot a little further away, and Xia Chuhe suddenly asked, "Do people in the upper echelons need to have regular medical checkups?"
“Yes, they’re all terrified of dying.” A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhu Guanshan’s eyes.
"Do you know the medical examination process? Have you seen the tentacle monsters in the upper levels?"
"The physical exam just involves drawing blood. If everything is fine, that's it. If there are any problems, you'll need to take some pills. There are no tentacle monsters."
Zhu Guanshan's eyes were clear and he showed no guilt, so he didn't seem to be lying.
Another difference from the hell of no love.
The realism of the current world has increased by 1 again.
After asking Zhu Guanshan, Xia Chuhe went to Li Qiusheng for help. It would be most appropriate for Li Qiusheng to go and plant spies to rob the medicine.
Although getting rid of Guan Wuji would solve the problem once and for all, it's not something that can be accomplished overnight. Right now, we should first get a batch of medicine to help Li Yue recover.
