Chapter 60 After I Die

A sharp gunshot exploded in the air. Pei Du only felt his eardrum vibrate, and then half of his face became numb and lost consciousness.

"Hide behind me and don't go out." Sheng Shixian moved quickly, and the nine long tails behind him were all exposed. Then his figure flashed and disappeared in front of Pei Du like a gust of wind.

Once the battle between advanced mutants escalates, it will be as intense as a storm.

"Be careful, run away if you can't win, Lin Xuqiu is here to help you." Pei Du knew that his body was not strong enough, so he could only give Sheng Shixian a few words, and then walked back under the protection of the army that rushed over from the side.

Sheng Shi hummed enviously, and his long tail sharpened, and in a moment only his shadow was left.

Pei Du hid in a nearby corner. Ling Yu had no special abilities, so it was easy for the military to capture him. When he was pinned to the ground, he stared at Pei Du, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him.

"Pei Du! It's useless for you to do all this, haha... The system will help me, the system will help me! You are just a useless supporting role, you are finished..."

Pei Du watched as the light on the PUA ball grew brighter and brighter, its volume expanded more than ten times, and the electric current lingering around it suppressed the remaining soldiers, causing them to faint.

[You are not the system... who are you? ]

All the surrounding windows exploded. The soldiers inside could not see the existence of the system and were all blown against the wall by the strong wind and fainted to death.

Gouqie Tousheng hid in Pei Du's hood. Pei Du felt its body trembling and whispered, "Gouqie Tousheng, there is a secret passage in the basement of the villa. I took you there before, and you escaped from there."

The voice of the surviving trembling voice sounded: "...then what are you going to do?"

"If you die, I have to die too. You run first and I'll go to the other side." Pei Du knew that trying to survive would only lead to failure. It was only one year old, had a poor brain and low emotional intelligence, so it was safer to run away quickly.

He groaned twice: "But..."

The electric current on PUA's body suddenly struck, and the wall next to Pei Du was turned completely black. Soon it collapsed and pressed towards him.

Pei Du didn't care about Gou Que Tou Sheng, he threw Gou Que Tou Sheng aside, risked his life and rushed over with his gun pointed at Ling Yu, "Don't come over here, I'll kill Ling Yu if you come over again!"

Ling Yu is the host of PUA, and this is the only way Pei Du can think of to control PUA.

The electric current around PUA paused for a moment. Ling Yu's face turned pale. He stared at PUA and said, "Don't come over here... Don't come over here..."

A shrill noise stirred inside the PUA's body. It paused in the air for a moment, and a mocking sound floated out.

"Ling Yu, you are really a waste. What good can you do? An Jia doesn't love you, Sheng Shixian is born with stronger abilities than you, and you yourself don't have any abilities. You might as well die."

Ling Yu's eyes widened, and the bloodshot eyes were frightening. "What did you say?"

"You are waste." PUA's body grew a little bigger invisibly. Without waiting for Ling Yu to react, it sent all the high-intensity electric current to him and Pei Du.

Pei Du's entire vision was instantly filled with blankness, the space he was in was split open, and the chilly coldness climbed into his clothes again, just like when he died.

Even the air became silent, as if no one had come.

"Don't hurt him!!!"

A sharp child's voice exploded in Pei Du's ears. Pei Du staggered, and those scenes quickly faded. The small ball stained with blue light was shattered by the electric current in front of his eyes, and the entire system panel on it shattered and fell like fireworks.

Pei Du's eyes widened: "... just try to survive"

[You ignorant filth, you actually dared to pretend to be us, we will kill them all, we will kill them all——]

PUA continued to speak, and it aimed at Pei Du again, stacking its energy to the maximum value.

[Wipe all...]

Another figure suddenly jumped out from the side. He completely ignored the high-intensity electric current surrounding the PUA. As soon as his body rushed over, his flesh and blood made a painful hissing sound.

Lu Xun's eyes flashed with golden light, and his originally normal pupils turned into pure gold. At the same time, an unknown black solid substance condensed in his palms, and he stabbed the surface of the PUA's system again and again.

PUA let out a shrill wail, fragments of its body kept falling off, and it spun its body faster and faster, trying to throw Lu Xun out.

"Who are you? What on earth are you?"

Hatred built up in Lu Xun's eyes, and it reached its peak in a moment. He remembered something and said in a low voice, "I am a ghost that was dismembered by you."

PUA once again exploded with electric shock, and Lu Xun's entire body showed signs of cracking, and the soul inside was also severely damaged.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out, and this bullet ignored the PUA's shield and went straight through the center of its body. The PUA was stunned for a few seconds, and all the energy in its body quickly escaped through the small gap in its body.

"No...no! No! This is my energy! This is my energy!"

Lu Xun also paused for a moment. He didn't know where the gunshot came from, so he seized the opportunity and took away all the energy from the PUA.

Pei Du picked up the fragments of Gouqie Tousheng that fell on the ground. He looked up and unexpectedly saw another similar yet different figure from Lu Xun.

Pure golden eyes, half-curled white hair.

It turns out that Gouqiu Tousheng is also a handsome boy.

The PUA's scream shook the earth. It suddenly grabbed Lu Xun and said frantically, "Don't even think about taking away my energy. Don't even think about it!"

Thunder and lightning gathered around him, and after a few explosive noises, Pei Du was blinded by the impact. He seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in his mind, and with a "crack", Pei Du fell into the ruins behind him.

Pei Du had a dull headache, chaotic scenes flashed before his eyes. He frowned and slowly closed his eyes in the blurred vision.

"Pei Du!"

"Pei Du!"

Who is calling him?

"Pei Du!" Pei Du forced himself to open his eyes. He saw a dark shadow running towards him from a distance. The nine-tailed fox behind him jumped flexibly, as energetic as before.

Sheng Shi Envy...

*

"Pei Du, you wrote today's homework but didn't lend it to me to copy. That really annoys the teacher."

…

"Pei Du, Mom is going out for a while. What do you want to eat? It's very hot outside. Just wait for me at home. Mom will be back soon."

…

"Pei Du, can you live alone in the future?"

…

"Pei Du, what's in the alley?"

"Nothing, just a cat."

Pei Du suddenly opened his eyes. It was drizzling all around, the sky was gray, and the layers of dark clouds covered most of the sky, with only a few rays of light scattered down.

Pei Du walked in the rain, and the falling raindrops penetrated his palms and directly touched the asphalt road surface.

His villa was a short distance away. Pei Du took a look from a distance and saw the cordon outside his villa. A few soldiers were guarding the door of the villa. The villa was surrounded by weeds and had been abandoned for some time.

Pei Du didn't go any further. He turned around and walked aimlessly in the rain.

"Captain, we can't find out. Pei Du's body has been cremated long ago, and even his ashes have been scattered. Where can we find evidence?"

Pei Du stopped walking for a moment. He turned around and saw Sheng Shixian who was also walking in the rain.

Sheng Shixian's face was much sharper than the ones Pei Du had seen before. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a small scar had appeared at the corner of his eye. His military uniform was worn neatly, and he already had the intimidation of a superior.

Sheng Shixian's eyes were filled with gloom. He didn't know when he learned to smoke, and he puffed out smoke expertly. "Continue investigating, keep an eye on An Jia."

Pei Du followed behind Sheng Shixian. He looked at Sheng Shixian's features carefully and surprisingly felt that Sheng Shixian looked somewhat ferocious.

Just as An Jia said, Sheng Shixian did not let her off easily. The last phone call between her and Pei Du was Sheng Shixian's starting point and suspicion.

"What did you say to him? Why did you cremate his body so quickly?" Sheng Shixian pressed on. "Why are you in such a hurry? What did you do that you are afraid to see?"

An Jia was annoyed by his questions, "I have explained everything I should have explained, what's the point of you keep asking?"

Sheng Shi sneered: "Let me ask you again, why did you cremate his body so quickly? What qualifications do you have to dispose of his body?"

Pei Du sat next to Sheng Shixian, and he could already sense Sheng Shixian's suppressed but obvious anger. He sighed and covered the back of Sheng Shixian's hand with one hand.

Of course Sheng Shixian couldn't sense it. He stared at An Jia, but An Jia sneered, "I'm his fiancée, and he left all his property to me. Why do you say that?"

Sheng Shixian's facial expression froze for a moment. He curled up his fingers one by one and turned away abruptly.

Pei Du still followed him. Sheng Shi was very jealous and had a bad temper. After returning, he was so angry that he almost crushed the teacup.

Pei Du was somewhat dazed. When he was alive, he and Sheng Shixian were in a hostile state most of the time. The two of them hated each other and usually started to sneer at each other after just two sentences, and then turned around and left.

Sheng Shi is jealous of this time...why is it like this?

Pei Du squatted in front of Sheng Shixian. Sheng Shixian liked to smoke when he was unhappy. He smoked frequently and the cigarette butts in the ashtray had piled up into a small mountain.

Pei Du looked at him silently. He stretched out his fingertips to touch the scar at the corner of Sheng Shixian's eye, as if he could feel the life and warmth of flesh and blood from it.

Sheng Shixian did not stop tracking and investigating Pei Du's case. Pei Du's death was not an accident, and Sheng Shixian also found some clues from it.

But Ling Yu was so sharp, and he had Yan Xuwen and PUA helping him. Sheng Shixian's repeated investigations ultimately came to nothing.

Ling Yu threw the jade pendant that Sheng Shixian had given Pei Du back to him. He seemed to want to strike back at Sheng Shixian, and said, "Sheng Shixian, this is yours, right? Pei Du gave it to An Jia before. An Jia didn't want to take your things, so I'm returning it to you today."

It was the jade pendant that Sheng Shi's envious mother left for him. It was said that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain it from a Buddhist temple, and it symbolized the protection from disasters and diseases and the protection of safety.

Sheng Shixian held the jade pendant tightly and finally couldn't help but go to Pei Du's tomb. There were piles of weeds in front of Pei Du's tomb. Sheng Shixian pulled out all the weeds roughly and without any method, and his hands were covered with blood.

"Pei Du, waste." Sheng Shi laughed enviously. He held the jade pendant in his hand, raised his head inexplicably and stopped talking.

Pei Du saw his throat rolling, and he forcefully swallowed down most of the bitterness and unspeakable feelings.

There was only a small gray photo of Pei Du pasted on the tombstone. He was looking ahead expressionlessly, frozen in time at a certain point.

Pei Du hugged Sheng Shixian from behind. He couldn't touch him, but he wanted to comfort him, "Okay, okay, don't cry. I'll hug you, don't be sad..."

In the end, Sheng Shixian's Adam's apple just rolled a few times, and then he left the cemetery.

He doesn't give up so easily.

Pei Du stayed with Sheng Shixian every night, watching him flip through many different files. The transition took too long and there were no results, so the military finally rejected Sheng Shixian's proposal to reopen the old case.

Sheng Shixian decided to investigate privately. He encountered danger on the way and almost died on the spot.

From the age of twenty-three to ninety-three, it lasted for a full seventy years.

At the age of ninety-three, Sheng Shixian already had white film in his eyes, his face was covered with wrinkles, his skin was old and dry, and the light in his gray pupils had mostly died out long ago.

He looked upward with empty eyes, speaking in his subconscious mind at the moment of death, "Pei Du..."

Seventy years of pursuit yielded no results.

I couldn't give Pei Du an explanation either.

Pei Du lay beside him, stroking Sheng Shixian's dry white hair. Tears suddenly fell from his eyes when he heard the words.

"Sheng Shixian, give up." Pei Du buried his head in his neck and choked, "...give up on me."

Sheng Shixian stopped breathing.
