Chapter 64 Taoist Companion.
Mo Qi didn't take it to heart at all, simply assuming that Mo Xiu was curious about his previous life's world.
One is a world of cultivation, the other is a post-apocalyptic world. These two places are indeed very different, and he believes it's only natural that Mo Xiu is curious.
He didn't expect that the person opposite him would have tears welling up in their eyes the next second, and even tears would flow uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry!" Feeling the uncontrollable urge to cry, Mo Xiu quickly raised her arm and wiped her eyes haphazardly with her sleeve.
But those tears flowed like a burst dam, and he couldn't control them at all.
If there were any doubts at first, after hearing what Mo Qi said, what couldn't be guessed? Apart from the person opposite him, no one else had the ability to reincarnate.
He just hadn't expected the other party to pay such a high price. He hadn't done much in his previous life, so why was the other party sacrificing so much for him?
Mo Qi knew perfectly well that the price would be a thousand times, ten thousand times more painful than being skinned alive and having his bones ripped out, yet he was still laughing. Who would be that foolish? Little did he know that the fool was himself.
"Mo Xiu, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying? Did I say something wrong?"
Mo Qi was a little confused by the tears on the other person's face, but it was the first time he had ever seen Mo Xiu so sad.
He doesn't like seeing the people he likes sad or upset, because it makes his own heart clench uncontrollably.
Upon hearing Mo Qi's words, Mo Xiu suddenly couldn't control herself and rushed over, hugging him tightly.
He knew he shouldn't cry, he shouldn't be crying so inexplicably. He didn't even know how to explain it. Could it be that he had actually died once, and now he had been reborn?
Mo Xiu originally thought that he would never tell this secret until he died, and that he would keep it hidden until his coffin.
But Mo Qi had just told him his biggest secret, which sounded even more bizarre than his rebirth.
Cultivation, ascension, time travel, demon lords, even zombies are not controlled by viruses but are affected by demonic energy. Any one of these would be explosive news if taken out of context.
Even so, Mo Qi was still willing to be honest with him, so shouldn't he also muster up his courage? Perhaps his honesty wouldn't be a burden to the other person.
Mo Qi said that he considered himself his only Daoist partner, someone he was willing to live and die with. But didn't he also value Mo Qi's life more than his own? Therefore, perhaps there were some things he should know.
Mo Xiu cried for a long time before he finally calmed down. He knew he must have looked very embarrassing and pathetic.
But when he thought about the suffering Mo Qi might have gone through for him, it was really hard for him not to break down.
Fortunately, Mo Qi was always very patient with him. Seeing that he had stopped crying, she reached out and gently patted his back, whispering in his ear in a comforting tone, "It's okay. Although I don't know what happened, I'm here for you. I'll always be by your side. If there are any difficulties that need to be resolved, let's face them together, okay?"
Hearing the person on the other end say that, Mo Xiu was once again overwhelmed with emotion. How could this person be so kind? He had given him such profound warmth in two lifetimes.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiu took two deep breaths and finally confessed to Mo Qi about her rebirth.
"You mean you've actually been reborn? Everything you're experiencing now is something you went through in your previous life?" Mo Qi rarely showed such surprise.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiu shook her head and said, "That's not how it is. It can't be said that it's entirely what I experienced. This life is very different from the previous life."
However, I knew in advance how some things would go, so I made changes.
For example, I changed the route and time I took to the Mountain and River Base in my past life, which is how I unexpectedly met you earlier.
After listening to Mo Xiu's words, Mo Qi nodded. He could understand what she was saying. He also believed that Mo Xiu was not lying to him, after all, no one would make such a silly joke.
Since he could have transmigrated, then Mo Xiu could naturally have been reborn as well. However, what surprised Mo Qi was the implication in Mo Xiu's words that the other party believed his rebirth was due to him.
Mo Qi was not reborn with Mo Xiu, so he doesn't know what happened in his previous life.
Although he initially jokingly told his sweetheart that people who use the rebirth technique are foolish, if that person were Mo Xiu, given his personality, Mo Qi could guarantee that he would definitely do so.
There was one thing he wasn't entirely sure about: if he really did it, then according to Mo Xiu, they weren't that close in their past life, and he'd even had a miserable time with him for many years.
It's clear that his powerful soul and body were mismatched, preventing him from fully controlling his abilities, thus limiting his potential. Under such circumstances, how could he possibly use forbidden techniques?
It can't be that he actually cultivated for decades and then used a secret technique to resurrect Mo Xiu!
If that's the case, then it doesn't quite match Mo Xiu's memories. It couldn't possibly be that something went wrong while using the secret technique, forcing him to repeatedly rewind time and burn his divine soul once or even many times!
That's so stupid!
He forced a smile, a self-deprecating urge to laugh at the thought of that scene. But for some reason, he suddenly couldn't laugh, because that outcome was indeed possible.
If the person he wants to resurrect is the one he has chosen, Mo Xiu, he will likely disregard the consequences and spare no expense. He will repeat this process again and again until the day his soul is completely consumed by the flames.
But none of that matters. What matters is that Mo Xiu is right in front of him now. At least so far in his life, everything has been alright, and his beloved hasn't repeated the same mistakes.
According to him, he also took some revenge, killing several people...
Thinking of this, Mo Qi suddenly narrowed his eyes.
When he first met Mo Xiu at the Shanhe Base, she did mention that she planned to kill a few people. However, he didn't know at the time that Mo Xiu wanted to kill his enemy from a past life.
Had he known this would happen, no, even if he had known earlier, Mo Qi would definitely have let the other party do it themselves. This was out of respect for Mo Xiu, but he would have tried his best to secretly help as much as possible during the process.
From what you just said, the report shouldn't be finished yet.
Mo Qi isn't actually the type to hold grudges, but if someone crosses his bottom line, he'll stop at nothing to get them. And, coincidentally, Mo Xiu is that bottom line.
Mo Xiu was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting that this was the first thing the other party would focus on. It seemed that Mo Qi truly cared about her, even the suffering he had endured in his past life.
She leaned in and gently kissed the man's cheek. Mo Xiu whispered to Mo Qi, "Actually, I've taken all the revenge that needed to be taken on the surface. But I always feel that there are still people behind the scenes who haven't been exposed."
Having stayed at the Shanhe Base for so long, Mo Xiu certainly hadn't been idle. He showed no mercy in killing people like Xu Liang, Ren Zha, and Bian Tai. As for the rest, he punished them to varying degrees.
Initially, with Xu Liang as a formidable figure to keep him in check, Mo Xiu had to exercise restraint. After all, killing too many people at once would easily attract attention. However, after Xu Liang fell, his faction naturally scattered like leaves in the wind.
Therefore, dealing with these people becomes much easier, since in the apocalypse, there are simply too many ways to make someone die or suffer.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiu smiled at Mo Qi. They had both told each other their biggest secrets and were completely honest with each other. Didn't this mean that they were getting closer?
However, Mo Xiu soon remembered something else.
"Since you say that the zombies in this world are all mutated by demonic energy, then it means that there is no virus at all."
If that's the case, what's going on with Professor Frank? Why did he say his research was showing promise?
Mo Xiu felt increasingly uneasy. If it was just that the research direction was wrong, then it wouldn't be a big deal. However, they had encountered Meng Zhen before.
The fire-type ability user, who was already quite strong, survived for a long time without mutating after being bitten by a zombie, thanks to the professor's potion. However, he suddenly mutated into a high-level zombie.
Back then, everyone's strength, including my own, was only average. If it weren't for the fact that many superhumans gathered together that day and worked together to kill Meng Zhen, who was undergoing mutation, the consequences for the base would have been unimaginable.
Hearing Mo Xiu's question, Mo Qi told him everything she knew. Because she had revealed that she was a demonic cultivator, some things that were difficult to explain before were now easier to explain to him.
"So you discovered back then that Meng Zhen also had demonic energy in his body, but it was isolated by something, which allowed him to maintain his human appearance and not turn into a zombie immediately."
Mo Xiu pondered, and considering what Mo Qi had said about Xiong Gangyong being in a similar situation, she became increasingly convinced that the professor was definitely problematic.
After all, Xiong Gangyong had been sent by his brother Xiong Mingyuan to work for Professor Frank for a period of time.
During that time, Xiao Wan also met Dayong and heard him say that the professor would be conducting some experiments on them. Judging from this, Dayong might not be the only one with the same symptoms.
Thinking of Xiong Gaoyong, who is still unconscious, they can ask him for details once he wakes up.
"From this perspective, it's very likely that the so-called potion was a lie from the very beginning. But since he had a way to isolate the demonic energy in Meng Zhen's body, he could also get the demonic energy into Da Yong's body."
"Could it be that the professor can also manipulate demonic energy? Is he also a demonic cultivator?" Mo Xiu asked Mo Qi.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qi stroked his chin and shook his head.
"He shouldn't be a demonic cultivator. I've seen him before, but I couldn't sense any cultivation level in him at all. Perhaps he has some means that I don't know about to manipulate demonic energy. We can talk about these things when we get back to the base."
At this point, Mo Qi leaned over and kissed Mo Xiu again, his voice slightly seductive as he said, "My future Daoist partner, shouldn't you be thinking about how to comfort this injured person right now?"
