Le Qinglan is crazy.
Driven crazy by Zhuang Li.
What she reflected in the mirror was not her beautiful face, which was as bright as the scorching sun, but an old, sallow face, covered with dark spots and wrinkles. The traces left by the erosion of time were so ugly.
Le Qinglan let out a scream of fear that he had never felt before.
She smashed the mirror, trying her best to deny that the old woman was herself. However, when she raised her hand, she found that the back of her hand had become dry and thin, and her white hair had fallen from her shoulders, no longer having the soft and bright color it had just had.
In just a few minutes, she turned from a young girl in her prime into an old woman on the verge of death.
She continued to scream, her red eyes wide open. She looked at her hands, then at her white hair, then at the broken mirror. Finally, she curled up in the corner, covering her face tightly.
She chose to escape.
She was shaking violently like a leaf in the wind.
Seeing her extremely embarrassed appearance, X and others only felt pleased, but Zhuang Li clapped his hands and chuckled: "I found your weakness."
He slowly walked to Le Qinglan's side, looked down at her, and whispered like a devil: "You are not afraid of being beaten, tortured, imprisoned or even killed, but you are afraid of aging, right?"
Lei Ming strode over, silver knife in hand, alert and vigilant. He was worried that Le Qinglan would suddenly attack Zhuang Li.
However, Le Qinglan did not launch an attack. Instead, he hid in a deeper corner and buried his face in his arms.
Her actions had confirmed Zhuang Li's judgment. The only thing in the world that frightened her was aging. No one knew the price she had paid in her pursuit of immortality and eternal youth.
She made a deal with the Lord God, destroying world after world, thinking that she would eventually become a god.
She had long forgotten what it was like to grow old, and believed wholeheartedly that such a terrible thing as aging would never happen to her.
She did not deceive Emile, she was indeed God's messenger.
But now, she was defeated by a mortal!
"What did you do to me? Who are you? Change me back! Quickly!" Le Qinglan screamed hysterically.
Zhuang Li looked at her with interest and said slowly, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is what I will do to you."
He looked around the laboratory and ordered, "Add mirrors to all the glass walls so she can see her own appearance in every corner. I will regularly inject her with genetic fluid until the perfect formula is developed."
"Okay! Let's go find a mirror right away." X said happily.
"Look for a mirror made of tempered glass, which won't break easily," Bird's Beak added.
"Got it." X left in a hurry.
Le Qinglan began to scream, roar, curse, and even beg. She remained huddled in a corner, afraid to look at her aging body. This was the first time she had been driven to the point of collapse by someone.
7480, who witnessed all of this, said: "..." This is the horror of being dominated by the host! It's so miserable!

Zhuang Li's genetic medicine couldn't kill Le Qinglan. After two hours of aging, she regained her youthful appearance.
Seeing her long black hair and smooth white arms, Le Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. The ecstasy of regaining what she had lost made her care more about her youth and appearance.
Therefore, the next day, when she saw Zhuang Li walk into the laboratory full of mirrors, she screamed in fear and ran around like a madman.
She developed an unprecedented fear of Zhuang Li's needle.
Lei Ming broke her leg bones with one kick and pinned her to the ground effortlessly.
Zhuang Li pushed the medicine in the syringe into her vein.
A few minutes later, Le Qinglan became old again.
The floor was also made of mirrors, so Le Qinglan, who was pinned down, could clearly witness the entire process of wrinkles crawling all over her cheeks. She was almost frightened to death by such a scene, and her cries for mercy almost broke the eardrums of the onlookers.
She had been killed countless times by Lei Ming using cruel means, but none of them could compare to Zhuang Li's potion.
The image of Zhuang Li walking towards her with a syringe in hand became a nightmare that haunted her every night.
Year after year, day after day, she lived like this, becoming Zhuang Li's guinea pig for testing various drugs.
She never felt at ease for a single day, and trembled every time she heard footsteps outside the corridor. Furthermore, to her despair, Zhuang Li's aging potion was becoming more effective day by day.
At first, one injection of the medicine could only age Le Qinglan for two hours, but later it gradually became three hours, four hours, and five hours...
Later, even after seven or eight days without injections, Le Qinglan still looked old and frail. Her back was hunched, her teeth were gone, and her face was like dried rock, with every furrow as if carved with a knife.
Le Qinglan was finally driven mad. She closed her eyes and banged her head against the mirror again and again until her head was bleeding and her bones were broken.
She stubbornly believed that as long as she broke the mirror, she would be able to wake up from this extremely terrifying nightmare.
"You won't wake up." Six months later, Zhuang Li squatted beside her, holding up a syringe and said, "After this injection, you will never wake up again. Your cells will completely lose the ability to regenerate, and you will always remain old and ugly. Anyone who drinks your blood will age and die within eight minutes. They can't save you."
He sighed and said, "I can't find a way to kill you, but I can make you live in hell forever. This world doesn't belong to you. You are just a poor creature parasitizing here."
Le Qinglan's eyes nearly popped out. She tried to struggle, but Lei Ming pinned her to the ground, preventing her from moving.
The medicine in the syringe slowly injected into Le Qinglan's blood vessels, along with endless despair.
"No, no, no, no! Please kill me! Kill me quickly! I don't want eternal life, I want to die!" Le Qinglan screamed hysterically.
She had once been willing to pay any price for eternal life, and she had never imagined that one day she would yearn for death so much. She really didn't want to live anymore.
7480 couldn't help but hug himself. It was horrible, truly horrible! Fortunately, it was now the host's lackey!

That night, Zhuang Li and Lei Ming were enjoying extreme fast charging when there was a knock on the door.
X shouted from outside: "Captain, Le Qinglan committed suicide!"
Lei Ming bit the tattoo on Zhuang Li's neck, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid. Zhuang Li gripped his arm tightly, signaling that he absolutely could not interrupt at this moment.
X stood outside the door for more than an hour before he heard the footsteps of two people.
7480 also cautiously started ventriloquizing: "Ding, a dropped gold finger has been detected. Master, please retrieve it as soon as possible."
Zhuang Li gulped down water as he walked, and his open collar revealed some bright red marks.
Lei Ming gently stroked the tattoo on the back of his neck with his palm and softly reminded him: "Drink slowly, don't choke." To him, Zhuang Li's needs were more important than the news of Le Qinglan's death.
Zhuang Li handed the half-drunk water to Lei Ming and said to himself, "The golden finger that the Lord God gave Le Qinglan has a bug. No one can kill her except herself. This makes sense, because there is no such thing as an immortal species in the world."
7480 scratched the back of his head and said, "Probably. This cheat code is really awesome!"
Lei Ming drank the rest of the water, wiped the corners of his own mouth and Zhuang Li's mouth with a tissue, then opened the door and asked slowly, "Is she dead?"
"He's dead. You go and take a look. The scene is a bit weird." X said palely.
Ten minutes later, Zhuang Li squatted on the ground and carefully examined Le Qinglan's body. He nodded and said, "It's really weird."
Le Qinglan had ripped out her own heart with her own hands. Her body was now completely cold, but the heart she held in her palm was still beating strongly.
This scene scared everyone.
"You guys go out first." Zhuang Li waved his hand and said.
X immediately drove away the outsiders.
Zhuang Li tried to pry open Le Qinglan's fingers and take out the heart, but found that she was holding it very tightly and her fingers were as stiff as stone.
Lei Ming walked over and easily crushed Le Qinglan's finger bones, then handed the strongly beating heart to Zhuang Li.
As soon as Zhuang Li took over, this heart of flesh and blood turned into a green gem, emitting a dazzling light under the light.
At the same time, 7480 said in astonishment, "Master, after testing, it turns out to be an SSS-level cheat code called 'Source of Life'! Also, Le Qinglan has an auxiliary system in her brain that specifically guides her through time, and it's also SSS-level!"
Auxiliary systems lack self-awareness and only run various programs according to the tasker's instructions. When the tasker's level is high enough, they can apply to the main god for an emotionless auxiliary system. They hate the feeling of being constrained.
Oh my god! This Le Qinglan is actually an SSS-level tasker! 7480 was truly shocked. Only then did it realize what level its host was among the taskers.
The host is not a newbie at all, he is a great white shark!
"I'll take the golden finger, and you can swallow the system." Zhuang Li quickly distributed the stolen goods.
"Thank you, Master!" 7480 jumped happily.
Zhuang Li looked at Lei Ming and asked, "Aren't you curious?"
"I'm not curious. I seem to know somehow that she is not from this world." Lei Ming shook his head.
"So, don't you have any questions for me?"
"Yes," Lei Ming looked straight at Zhuang Li and asked seriously, "You're not from this world either, right?"
"right."
"Will you leave me?"
"No. You in this world, you in the next world, and you in every world are all the targets I'm looking for. I came here just to be with you." Zhuang Li answered seriously.
Lei Ming smiled happily. He leaned over and kissed Zhuang Li on the lips, sighing, "I no longer have any doubts."
Zhuang Li extended the tip of his tongue to deepen the kiss, and finally put the green gem into his hand, saying gently: "Keep this thing. With it, I don't have to worry about you leaving before me every time I'm late. You have to promise that you will wait for me!"
"Okay, I promise to wait for you." Lei Ming held the green gem tightly.
The desire in his heart inspired his divine power, and he unexpectedly absorbed the gem into his palm without any instruction, integrating it into his body. The golden anchor shone with strands of light, and at this moment, he felt as if he had become even more powerful.
