Gong Yao disappeared into the flames once again.
Lin Zhenzhen's legs went weak, and she almost fell directly off the wooden box.
The girl who was brought out was frightened and sat on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Lin Zhenzhen wanted to know what had happened inside, but as soon as she got closer, the girl cried even harder.
"Xiao Zhen, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Teacher Lin did all that to save me..."
Lin Zhenzhen's mind exploded with a "boom".
She reached out and grabbed the other person's collar tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
Lin Zhenzhen was quite strong; a red mark was left on the girl's neck, and she cried even harder.
Those around Lin Zhenzhen rushed over to stop her and struggled to separate the two.
Li Huiran hugged her tightly from behind, her voice trembling with tears: "Xiao Zhen, calm down, don't be impulsive!"
Lin Zhenzhen let them do as they pleased, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the people opposite her.
"Teacher Lin was carrying me on her back when the fire... the fire was so big, I couldn't see the road at all... I accidentally fell... and the fire spread..."
Lin Zhenzhen seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt, her mind was thrown into disarray, and she felt only a moment of daze.
A constant buzzing sound filled my ears, and the sounds I heard were intermittent, not even forming a complete sentence.
“He said he would have Gong Yao take me with him…and he would stay behind…he couldn’t…”
The girl seemed to suddenly break down in tears, bursting into sobs: "It's all my fault, Teacher Lin!"
The scene before Lin Zhenzhen's eyes gradually became blurry.
The world around me gradually shook, like a giant jigsaw puzzle, crumbling and collapsing little by little from the edges.
The others were completely unaware of this and continued to shout and call for help. Only Lin Zhenzhen struggled to move step by step toward the location where the flames were rising.
Soon, the world spun around.
After a deafening roar, the world fell silent.
"Seriously, here we go again? My head hurts, my head hurts!"
Lin Zhenzhen frowned slightly.
Who is speaking?
"Ugh, so annoying, why isn't he awake yet!"
Still not awake? Is he talking about me?
Lin Zhenzhen immediately dismissed the idea of opening her eyes.
She held her breath, trying hard to hear what the other person was saying.
But it felt like my ears were stuffed with cotton, and the sounds I heard weren't clear.
The man paced back and forth like a restless hunting dog, his mouth constantly muttering to himself.
In the end, Lin Zhenzhen only managed to glean a few scattered words such as "research department" and "telephone".
--
Compared to her disheveled state upon first waking from the blue liquid, Lin Zhenzhen was noticeably more composed this time.
She held her breath and slowly floated up.
The round metal cover on top wasn't closed tightly; it opened with a gentle push.
Lin Zhenzhen climbed out of the cylindrical container, ignoring the unknown liquid sticking to her body, and warily surveyed her surroundings.
The room is surrounded by white walls, completely sealed off, with no windows, only a tightly closed door.
The room was filled with all sorts of chemical reagents and specimens, strange and mysterious symbols, and electronic instruments of all sizes.
The most eye-catching items are the two cylindrical containers placed in the middle.
Lin Zhenzhen's gaze fell on the opposite side.
The man was still unconscious, his black hair floating in the water, swaying slightly with the ripples.
The light shone through the blue liquid onto his face, making his complexion appear even paler.
Lin Zhenzhen hesitated before approaching, scrutinizing the expression on his face more closely.
The man, who shared the same facial features as Gong Yao, had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and his face filled with suppressed pain, as if trapped in a nightmare from which he could not escape.
The image of the boy turning around and rushing into the fire without hesitation reappeared before my eyes.
Although she knew the person in front of her was not Gong Yao, Lin Zhenzhen still couldn't help but raise her hand and gently place it on the glass cover.
His thumb twitched gently, as if trying to smooth out his high-set eyebrows from afar.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a black uniform not far away out of the corner of her eye.
The dark gray badge on the front of the chest is surrounded by intricate patterns, with the edges of the metal pattern of intersecting spears and shields gleaming with a cold, hard white light.
These are his clothes, and they are the uniform of the disciplinary department.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly woke up.
—He's the head of the disciplinary department who wanted to have himself arrested and put on surgery!
The door was suddenly pushed open at that moment.
Lin Zhenzhen was already weak, and with the repeated frights she suffered, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Hey! Hey!" the man screamed.
Lin Zhenzhen braced herself on her elbows, trying to get up and avoid the situation, but was stopped by the other party's shout.
"Stop! Don't move!"
Lin Zhenzhen froze instantly. After a moment, she turned her eyes and looked up at the person in front of her.
The man had blond hair and blue eyes, wore a white robe, and had long, slightly wavy hair that draped over his shoulders, with two strands braided and hanging down beside his ears.
It's definitely good-looking, but the expressions are too exaggerated, making it feel like they're acting in a play.
"Okay, I won't move." Lin Zhenzhen said, turning her head to look behind her.
She fell right next to the cylindrical container, and there was a strangely shaped floating screen less than five centimeters from her elbow.
A red button is currently displayed above, flashing rapidly.
