Chapter 124 Playing Hard to Get
Qin Muxue, who had just closed her eyes for a while, suddenly felt a strong discomfort. She looked at her watch and saw that just an hour had passed. She originally wanted to sit here to recover her strength, but the dim environment here made her feel cold.
She looked up and had a bad feeling. Suddenly a drop of blood fell on her cheek and her pupils dilated instantly.
"Oh no, something must have happened up there!" Otherwise, how could so much blood fall? Qin Muxue wanted to climb up eagerly to see what was going on, and she had no time to wait for Qu Yanbai's supernatural powers to recover.
"I'll go up and check the situation first. After your ability recovers, Qu Yanbai, bring them up."
Now that Sheng Xingyuan knew that she owned the space, she no longer hid the fact and directly took out climbing ropes, rock plugs, and rock nails from the space, preparing to climb up first.
"It's so high, Xiaoxue, can you climb up?" Their physical strength is indeed better than that of ordinary people, but it took them a lot of time to come down just now. It would be more difficult to go up without a rope.
"Sure, no problem." She has done rock climbing many times.
Qin Muxue climbed up along the bulge of the cave entrance using ropes, rock plugs and rock nails.
"Hey, Qin Muxue, wait a minute." Sheng Xingyuan suddenly called her.
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful." He turned his head awkwardly and reminded.
"Yeah, no problem." Qin Muxue began to climb, and soon she disappeared. She didn't feel tired at all. If she was thirsty, she would drink some spiritual spring water to increase her strength. In this way, she climbed to the top in half an hour.
The scene around the cave entrance made her think she had come to hell on earth. There were broken limbs everywhere, and blood was flowing like a river. The blood dripping down was probably because the ground was covered with blood.
It was quiet here. She couldn't tell whether these dead people were friends or enemies, nor could she tell how many people had died. The rock walls were all stained red with blood. It was obvious that an almost overwhelming massacre had taken place here, and these people had no ability to fight back at all.
The only one who has this ability is... Shi Yan.
Her mood suddenly became heavy, "Impossible."
Qin Muxue began to search through Shi Yan's body. She was the one who changed his clothes, and she recognized the fabric, but all the clothes were stained with blood. She could only look for heads among the bodies. These heads were vaguely discernible, but fortunately none of them were recognized by Qin Muxue. She breathed a sigh of relief, but then began to worry again. Where did they go?
Following the bloodstains on the ground, Qin Muxue walked into the mine and finally found them in an open place. Everyone was safe and sound, but Shi Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Muxue asked hurriedly: "Are you all okay? Where did Yan go at that time?"
He Qiuyang stammered, "I'm sorry, those men in black were too powerful. If it weren't for Brother Shi Yan saving us, we really wouldn't be able to defeat them."
"Where is he?" He Qiuyang lowered his head. "After he dealt with those cult members, he kept complaining of a headache, and then he ran away inexplicably. If it weren't for protecting my teammates, I would have gone out to look for him a long time ago..."
"Where is he running to?" This was the first time that He Qiuyang saw Qin Muxue with such a serious expression. He always saw her with a calm or lazy expression.
He Qiuyang swallowed his saliva and said, "In that direction, it should be the direction of the cave entrance. He went out."
"I understand. You protect them well. Qu Yanbai and the others are fine. They will come to meet you soon. Please wait for them for a while."
"Captain Qu, is he okay? That's great." The teammates all showed excited expressions.
Qin Muxue was about to go out, but was stopped by He Qiuyang. He reminded her in a low voice: "I think there is something wrong with Shi Yan. He stabbed himself on the shoulder several times, and the way he looked at us was not right. In short, you should be careful."
"Yes, thank you."
She was unsure now. Shi Yan could actually kill the members of the cult in such a cruel way. Could it be that he recovered his memory?
Qin Muxue ran towards the cave entrance and looked around for his figure, and finally saw a pool of red blood in the white snow.
Following the trail of blood to a snow pile, she seemed to realize something and began to dig the snow pile desperately. Finally, she found Shi Yan, who had been frozen to death. His blood had already coagulated and he was lying there like a dead man.
The white snow formed a sharp contrast with the blood, and he exuded a strange beauty all over his body.
It was not until he saw Qin Muxue coming over that his frozen body began to tremble slightly, "Xiao...Xue, don't come over. I'm afraid I will hurt you."
After killing those cult members, he could no longer suppress the killing urge in his body and wanted to kill them all. At this moment, Qin Muxue's voice suddenly rang in his mind, "Protect them."
He had a splitting headache and could only cut a few wounds on his body to stay awake. He couldn't let Xiaoxue hate him.
"Xiaoxue, please leave quickly. I can't control myself." His voice was hoarse, his eyes full of pain and entanglement. "Am I a pervert? Why do I feel that killing is a very happy thing... I can't control myself. I almost wanted to kill those people. Xiaoxue, are those things in my memory real?"
Qin Muxue knelt down in the snow and tried to help him up. The wounds on his body had turned into blood ice due to the low temperature, and he was frozen unconscious.
"Get up first and find a place with me to heal your wound. I'll explain it to you, okay?" She reached out and wiped the ice and snow off his face. "Don't get excited."
Shi Yan turned his head and knocked her hand away, "Don't touch me."
Qin Muxue's eyes were filled with sadness, and she didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
His memory just now was still in the mental hospital, and he could still bear the memories at that time. But in an instant, so many memories of murder suddenly appeared in his mind, and he definitely hasn't adapted to it yet.
But at the same time, she was also very conflicted. If he turned into a murderer again, what should she do? If he posed a threat to her, should she kill him immediately?
But, he is Shi Yan.
Shi Yan said hoarsely: "Xiaoxue, please kill me!" He put the sword into her hand, "If this continues, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to control myself and start killing people, and I don't want to become that kind of person. The me in my memory is too scary, not a human, but a demon, a murderous demon... Maybe, I will be relieved if I die."
Now that he has such awareness, it is even less likely that Qin Muxue will kill him.
He knelt pitifully in the snow, tears still glistening in his eyes, and the wounds on his body gave him a war-damaged beauty.
Qin Muxue's mind was in a mess. When had she ever seen Shi Yan so humble, kneeling in front of her and begging her to kill him? Qin Muxue gritted her teeth and helped him up. "You get up first. You didn't kill innocent people this time. Those were all bad guys. You didn't kill me either. I know you won't hurt me. I also believe in your willpower. The memories of the past don't represent who you are now. You have changed, haven't you?"
"But I still want to kill someone. I even feel like killing you."
"But you didn't kill me."
Shi Yan stood up trembling, but his legs were frozen and he fell directly on Qin Muxue.
The two of them rolled into the thick snow together, their faces close to each other. Shi Yan could only feel his heart beating violently. Looking at Qin Muxue's snow-white neck, he actually felt that it would be more beautiful if there was blood, but he still suppressed his desire.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but you're frozen. Let's find a place to rest first. I'll bandage your wound!"
Qin Muxue shook the snow off his body, helped him to a dilapidated house next door, started a fire, and the two of them sat in front of the fire, and suddenly fell silent.
Not until Shi Yan's frozen body gradually regained feeling did Qin Muxue take out the medical supplies from her backpack and disinfect him. The wound on his arm was so deep that the bone was visible, which showed how much willpower he had used to suppress himself at the time.
"You have the desire to kill, but you don't have to hold it back. You can kill our enemies, just like the evil cult members who want to kill us. They are cruel and horrible. They killed so many people just for sacrifice. It's ridiculous. If there really is a god, why doesn't God take them to heaven? Instead, why does he need to torture these believers?"
"The person you should believe in the most is yourself. Only you can realize all your wishes. When you die, there is nothing left." She persuaded him while bandaging his wound.
Shi Yan lowered his head, the firelight illuminating half of his face, and he whispered, "Thank you... Thank you for your tolerance."
Qin Muxue shook her head. At least he was not hurting anyone around her now. How could she kill him for no reason?
"Take good care of your injuries, and don't hurt yourself like this again. If you really die, there will be nothing left." After heating up a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, she motioned for him to eat it.
While Shi Yan was eating eight-treasure porridge, tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes.
But a voice came out from the bottom of his heart, "What a coward, you can only let her stay with you forever by killing her. Only the dead are the most loyal. You are me and I am you. You are pretending to be a pure little white flower. But you used this trick of playing hard to get really well. I can stay with her again..." Shi Yan shook his head vigorously to suppress the voice in his heart.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Qin Muxue couldn't help but ask when she saw his strange look.
"No, I just feel like my neck is sprained." He stammered, not daring to look her in the eye.
Qin Muxue stood up and walked behind him. After a while, Shi Yan felt a force of moderate strength massaging his neck, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.
It was clearly a pleasure that only came from killing people, but after Qin Muxue touched him, he actually felt another kind of wonderful pleasure in an instant.
The voice in my heart sounded again, "This is so interesting. As expected, she always brings me new surprises. I don't think I want to kill her that much anymore."
"Don't think about how to kill her anymore, please. Xiaoxue is the best girl to me in the world. I just want to be with her forever. I would rather die than hurt her in the slightest."
"Then let's wait and see!"
Qin Muxue also learned this technique from Manman. This was also her first time to give someone a massage. "How is it? Do you feel better?"
"Um."
Qin Muxue sighed slightly in her heart, she knew her ultimate purpose of keeping him. It was not because she liked this Shi Yan. She would always only like the Shi Yan from another time and space. She just wanted to keep a complete body for him. If he had a chance to come back, and that body was damaged, this body should still be usable.
"Don't hurt yourself anymore."
Shi Yan sat in front of the fire, watching the firewood gradually burn into ashes, nodded heavily, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes.
…
After Qu Yanbai recovered his supernatural powers, he used his mental power to grow several thick vines on the rock wall, and he carried Manman up.
Sheng Xingyuan sat on another vine. As his mental power was activated, the vine began to grow gradually and carried them directly up.
See the scene above? They were also surprised at first. Like Qin Muxue, they followed the blood trail to find their teammates and He Qiuyang. When the time came, everyone's abilities were restored. One of the teammates looked at Qu Yanbai in surprise, "Captain Qu is really back."
Qu Yanbai was relieved to see that his teammates were all fine and in good spirits.
He said solemnly: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must tell me, don't be like Yuan Rong."
"Don't worry, Captain Qu, we won't be like him."
"yes."
This incident became a knot in Qu Yanbai's heart. It was all his fault that he did not handle the matter in time. If there had been any clues earlier, the cult members would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
"By the way, what happened over there just now? How could it happen?"
He Qiuyang then told them the whole story, "Although his methods were a bit cruel, at least he saved us."
In fact, they also felt that Shi Yan was a strange person. He had been missing for a while, and now that he had reappeared, not only had his personality changed drastically, he had also become much weaker. However, his performance today also allowed them to see Shi Yan's true strength.
After hearing this, Sheng Xingyuan showed a worried expression, "Where is Qin Muxue?" His purple ore was still in her space, and he was afraid that she would escape.
"Oh, Sister Qin went to find Shi Yan?"
"Sister Qin, you call her Sister Qin?"
"Yes, Sister Qin is very powerful. She is steady and strong. Everyone calls her that, so I call her that too." The man scratched his head.
Sheng Xingyuan looked at his bearded face and fell into deep thought. This guy looked to be at least thirty years old, yet he actually called Qin Muxue "Sister Qin". It seemed that she did have a very high prestige among the psychics.
"Yes, she was already very powerful in our superpower team. It's a waste of her talent to go to the laboratory to help Professor Sheng. She is very good at fighting monsters, better than any of us."
Qu Yanbai tried to smooth things over, "You can't say that. No matter what we do, we all contribute. Besides, Professor Sheng's research is all about the future of mankind. He is more capable than us wage earners. It's a good thing that Xiaoxue can go and help him."
"Yes, yes, Sister Qin can shine no matter where she is."
Qu Yanbai sighed. Although he had no internal injuries, he still had some external injuries. Manman had cured some of them, but his waist was still not feeling well. He would definitely let Manman take a good look at it when he got back.
He turned his head and looked at Manman beside him, looking at her pretty face. This time he could finally fulfill his promise, but then he felt a little heavy in his heart. He often went through life and death like this, and he couldn't guarantee that he would escape unscathed every time. What if one day he died while performing a mission...
He shook his head and stopped thinking about these unhappy things.
Manman said: "Let's go find Xiaoxue. I'm a little worried about her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Muxue had already walked over with Shi Yan on her arm. "If everyone is fine, our mission is considered completed. Can we go back now?"
"But if we are attacked, will Team 1 also be in danger? Should we go and reinforce them?"
Since the God's Descent Sect has the time to deal with them, they will naturally know the mission of Team One. Meteorites are more important than rare minerals and must not fall into the hands of the cult.
"It is indeed possible. Let me make a satellite call first." Sheng Xingyuan took out the satellite phone from his backpack, only to find that there was no signal at all.
Even after leaving the cave, there was still no signal from the satellite phone. "Impossible! How could this happen?"
This satellite phone was made by a young man he bought from a family. It was of very good quality. As long as there was a satellite, there would definitely be a signal. Satellite? Sheng Xingyuan suddenly thought that if there was a problem with the satellite, the phone would definitely not receive any signal.
Originally, there were two suns, one big and one small, hanging in the sky. As the suns did not cause any substantial harm to them, everyone had become accustomed to it.
But today, black circles began to appear around the so-called "sun".
"Look, what happened to that planet? Why did it become like this?" a team member shouted, pointing to the sky.
Sheng Xingyuan stared at the planet in the sky that seemed to have "mutated". This was exactly what he was most worried about. In fact, this planet was not the sun. It was originally an ordinary planet orbiting the sun.
But the gravitational force between the blue star and the sun changed, and the planet came between them, which created this strange sight.
The surface of this planet appears to be burning with flames, but in fact the surface temperature is around minus 500 degrees Celsius, which is why the blue planet is getting colder and colder.
It looks huge because it is getting closer and closer to the Blue Planet, affecting the temperature and magnetic field here, and also causing all kinds of disasters.
But now the area around the planet turned black, and the real sun behind it seemed to look a little bigger. Qin Muxue realized something.
As the sun gets closer to the blue star, the temperature of the earth's surface will become higher and higher. The black halo around the planet should be caused by the radiation from the real sun.
Qin Muxue was a little scared when she thought that the extreme heat would come so early. The high temperature was so fierce that the cold could be resisted, but when it was the hottest, it could even burn people to death.
Sheng Xingyuan frowned. The destruction of the satellite was not a good thing for them. He had to speed up his research, at least to find a way to save them before mankind was destroyed.
"Let's go to the meteorite and take a look!"
Everyone has many questions in their minds, but facing the vast universe, they are as small as ants facing the capricious humans, and they cannot control the changes of the planets in the universe.
All we can do is calm down and think about how to deal with it.
"No wonder, it doesn't feel that cold recently." Qin Muxue murmured to herself.
Shi Yan followed her closely. While she was thinking, she didn't notice that Shi Yan was unintentionally not letting anyone get close to her.
She is his, and no one else can get involved with her. This is what Shi Yan is thinking now.
"If you are worried about the meteorite, Xiaoxue and I can handle it, and you can go back without worry." Shi Yan suggested, "Everyone has worked hard for so many days and suffered from those evil cults. Why not leave this matter to us? You have also seen my strength, and I am fully capable of dealing with them."
From Qu Yanbai's perspective, Shi Yan's words seemed a little strange and arrogant, as if he was looking down on them, but also very considerate, as if he was also thinking about them.
Manman shouted loudly: "I can stay and assist you in healing your wounds." She noticed the wound on Shi Yan's hand and wanted to remove the bandage to treat it for him, but Shi Yan dodged her calmly.
"The wound on my body is not a problem and does not need to be healed."
Anyone who came into contact with him other than Qin Muxue would make him feel disgusted.
Manman felt something was wrong. He was not like the Shi Yan before. Shi Yan, who had lost his memory, was shy and timid, but at this moment, he gave people a creepy feeling. Moreover, there was a strong smell of blood around him. Everyone here looked at them with contempt.
Only when he looked at Qin Muxue, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes that he himself was not even aware of.
Sheng Xingyuan said: "I must follow you, you know the reason."
"sure."
When they arrived at the place where the helicopter landed, another accident happened. The pilot was killed and the plane was destroyed. It seemed that they had no way to leave here.
"That bunch of lunatics from the evil cult must have done something bad and destroyed our plane. We have no way of leaving here."
"The supplies we brought won't last long. They have made two preparations. If the assassins they sent fail, we won't be able to leave here."
The rest of the team members were silent. They only knew that the ore was under the huge pit, but they didn't know that Qin Muxue had already collected the ore in her own space.
