In the fir forest, the only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
The moment the system sensed the fluctuations in the Lord God's consciousness, it finally let go of its worries.
Soon after, amidst the sound of hurried footsteps—
Someone shouted excitedly: "Found them, there they are!"
Xu Zhi happened to be in this team. He actually noticed Chen Yao's figure earlier than the person who shouted, but his heart was blocked and his throat was choked, so he couldn't make any sound.
He rushed over there faster than anyone else, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
My heart aches just like in my dream.
In a trance, there seemed to be a blood-red color in front of my eyes.
It was still the person who had appeared in the dream before and looked like himself. This time, he was wearing a cold robe and had white hair. Blood was flowing from his heart continuously... dyeing the white robe red.
[The Blade of God, only slays evil demons? ]
He smiled alone, and ruthlessly pushed the divine blade stuck in his heart deeper, "Then I will be this evil demon."
Xu Zhi felt that his heart seemed to hurt even more, so much so that he almost knelt down in front of Chen Yao.
The system instantly sensed the unstable fluctuations in the Lord God's consciousness, which were becoming more and more intense. It subconsciously looked up at the sky with a frown on its face.
In the sky above where they were, cumulus clouds began to accumulate at an extremely fast speed and gathered towards the center.
Once the density of these gathered clouds reaches its peak and the magnetic field becomes disordered, the order of the small world will become chaotic and collapse.
By then...
"So soon?" It murmured in a very low voice, "I'm so reluctant to leave. Actually... I want to stay with you guys a little longer."
A virtual tear fell from its eye, but it was gone in an instant.
because---
It suddenly heard the host's faint accusation: "Hiss...Xu Zhi...your...hand..."
"It hit my... hair..."
system:! ! !
Xu Zhi:!!!
Miraculously, the fluctuations of spiritual consciousness suddenly disappeared.
The solemnity on the system's face disappeared, and it returned to its usual lively and cute appearance almost instantly.
The heavy feeling of impending storm on Xu Zhi's body gradually dissipated. He quickly loosened his hand that had accidentally pressed Chen Yao's hair on the ground, and instead held her hand, whispering an apology: "I'm sorry... I... Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Thousands of words seem to be stuck in my heart.
At this moment, the cold voice of the doctor brought by the security organization came from behind them: "Before putting the person on the stretcher, pay attention to the injuries and fractures. Be sure not to cause secondary injuries. Do you understand?"
"clear."
Only then did Xu Zhi let go of Chen Yao's hand, stood up and walked aside to make room for the medical team.
Chen Yao raised her eyes to look at him, then looked away.
To those around him, Xu Zhi was emitting a scent of resentment, regret, self-blame, and guilt that was rapidly spreading around him. It was as if the words "I deserve to die!" were written all over his body.
…
The rescue was timely. After arriving at the most authoritative hospital, Chen Yao's fractures and some external injuries received good treatment. From now on, as long as she takes good care of herself, she will recover slowly.
Almost everyone who witnessed the entire falling process, after learning about Chen Yao's situation, would sigh with relief: What a blessing!
In everyone's eyes, this was a blessing in disguise, but only Chen Yao herself and the system knew the dangers they had experienced.
During Shen Yao's recovery, the follow-up handling of the shady transactions involved in the gold sales was entirely handed over to other people in the security organization. However, the organization will not forget the merits awarded to Shen Yao.
Originally, the task assigned to Chen Yao by the security organization was only the first step in their plan. It was to find out the truth first. The next step was to shut down the sales and catch the person responsible. This was to be carried out by a larger team. But who would have thought that plans were not as good as changes. The changes in the middle were far more than expected, but fortunately, the ending was good.
It is also thanks to Chen Yao's bravery and fearlessness.
Not only did she exceed her targets, she also completed them perfectly.
…
Chen Yao saw Xu Zhi early in the morning on the second day of hospitalization.
There were also several bandage marks on his body, which looked serious.
In his hands were some light food and a change of clothes for her.
"I asked my aunt to prepare these clothes for me, and I made these foods myself... I hope you don't mind." The deep aura on his body had not completely dissipated, and he still had a sense of guilt for not protecting people well.
But actually... he didn't owe her anything.
That’s what Chen Yao thought.
Besides, nothing can be perfect.
“Okay, thank you,” she said.
"Auntie will come to take care of you later." Xu Zhi said as he opened the light meals he brought on the table on the bed.
When he saw her bandaged hands, he silently picked up the spoon and began to feed her.
Chen Yao didn't say anything and just waited quietly to be fed.
When they were halfway through their meal, there was a knock on the ward door. A captain of the security organization leaned against the door and looked in their direction. He said to Xu Zhi, "Come with me to the bureau later."
Xu Zhi's feeding rhythm was not interrupted at all, and he simply replied: "Okay."
The captain did not stay long. After asking about Chen Yao's situation, he left quickly.
After he left, Chen Yao touched Xu Zhi's arm with her almost tangled hands and arms, and asked in a low voice with worry and curiosity, "Why did Captain Chen ask you to go to the police station? Did you do something wrong?"
Xu Zhi almost immediately put down the spoon in his hand, observed the condition of her arm and hand, asked her if it hurt, and told her not to move so as not to affect the injury, and then answered her question:
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything wrong."
Chen Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief and half-jokingly said, "That's good. Otherwise, if we meet across the fence in the future, it would be too... exciting."
Xu Zhi said nothing, but just silently scooped a spoonful of soup and fed it accurately.
