By the time Gu Yan came out, Shen Jing had already composed herself.
She was reborn in the apocalypse and then faced the restart of the apocalypse, yet she adapted so quickly.
Besides, it's just transmigrating into a book... but... it doesn't belong to this world.
Does that mean she can leave?!
She asked him, "Is there anything else you're hiding?"
"there is none left."
"Really?" Shen Jing looked at Gu Yan with suspicion.
Gu Yan is an unreasonable person, a germaphobe, and always talking in a sarcastic or sarcastic way.
But he doesn't seem like he would lie to her?
"So, the reason I didn't have superpowers in my past life was because I transmigrated into a book?"
"Probably, elemental abilities or ordinary abilities, they all consume mental energy."
Gu Yan keenly sensed Shen Jing's improved mood and continued, "The two have a dominant and subordinate relationship."
Shen Jing was practically wagging her tail, if she ever did.
"So my superpowers are stronger than theirs?"
"Is that what you're really concerned about?" Gu Yan smiled. "Yes, that SSS-level beings can kill me."
"Are you sure?" Then she has no rivals.
Looking at her expression, Gu Yan belatedly realized what she meant.
He sneered, "You want to defeat me?"
Shen Jing gave a curt "hmm" in an annoyed tone, drawing out the sound to express her determination.
Gu Yan reached out and forcefully pulled her in front of him, coaxing her in a hoarse voice, "Then kill me."
Shen Jing met his gaze and realized he was serious.
What kind of crazy thing is this person doing now?
He actually... he actually made me kill him?
Shen Jing tried to push him away, "So you really have something wrong with you?"
Gu Yan let her push him away, placing his hand on the wooden floor, his eyes full of indulgence.
He looked at the angry Shen Jing and asked, "Are you angry?"
"nonsense!"
"But in your memory, I should be a heinous villain that everyone wants to kill, right?"
"Oh, you're quite self-aware." Shen Jing gave him the middle finger, which was a compliment.
Gu Yan chuckled softly, then his laughter grew increasingly unrestrained until he burst into a maniacal roar.
Shen Jing was unaware that she had tickled his funny bone.
She sat cross-legged beside him. "When I woke up from my rebirth, my dream was about how you imprisoned and tormented me. I never imagined that in this life, you would actually build a pure gold birdcage in the living room!"
Do you like it?
He has spent his entire life enjoying the sensation of cutting and killing with metal, and has never tried using this superpower to please others.
Shen Jing replied bluntly, "It's hideous, a gold-plated 'nouveau riche' color."
Gu Yan: "Really?"
It's true that killing is much easier than pleasing people.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the mutated vine appeared in his hand, but he quickly withdrew it.
With just a light touch of his fingertip to the edge of the birdcage, the gold-plated birdcage vanished in an instant.
Shen Jing stared blankly at his amazing actions, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart for some reason.
It wasn't a sour feeling of envy for power.
Instead, she felt a little sad, a sadness without reason.
Gu Yan looked up at her and said casually, "Since you don't like it, then destroy it."
"Oh." That's clearly not what she meant.
But since everything was already destroyed, Shen Jing didn't want to shed any more crocodile tears and say anything regretful.
Gu Yan sat beside her, his face still pale.
He looked in the direction where the birdcage had been and said calmly, "After losing my memory, I don't like birdcages anymore."
Shen Jing remained silent for a long time, her feelings complicated.
After her rebirth, she was inexplicably told that she was originally a transmigrator.
Now he's pointing at a birdcage and actually saying that this ugly thing was a custom-made item he ordered.
She even began to doubt whether she was the real, twisted apocalyptic boss. "Was I really so wicked in my past life?"
Gu Yan gave her a strange look. "No need to doubt it."
Shen Jing grabbed his hand and said through gritted teeth, "Don't even think about pinning the blame on me."
As she spoke, she noticed that his cold hands were covered with tiny cuts, probably from being scratched by the withered vines earlier.
The wound still bore the veins of the mutated vine, a flaw in an otherwise perfect piece of jade.
"My ability was given to me by you: healing." Gu Yan laughed self-deprecatingly. "I can heal anyone, but I can't heal myself."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jing felt a slight pang in her heart.
She silently thought: Pity men, they'll be unlucky for life.
But she still took out some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and gently wiped his wound.
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow. "Right now, only you can kill me, understand?"
Shen Jing's expression was not good. After spending these days together, she no longer had such a strong urge to kill him.
Although he was a lunatic, a... monster in everyone's eyes in his past life.
Even though she had scolded him, Gu Yan had no intention of stopping.
"How can I give you healing abilities?" Shen Jing didn't want to fall into his trap any longer and continued to ask, "What exactly happened to my memories?"
Gu Yan lowered his eyes, looking somewhat disappointed.
Sure enough, she didn't care at all.
He downplayed the issue, completely ignoring the previous question. Then he diverted Shen Jing's attention with explosive information: "Actually, you are the mastermind behind both the Masked Organization and the Viper Organization."
"That's a lie!" Shen Jing denied immediately.
The masked organization, under the guise of helping the sick, weak, elderly, and children, actually commits heinous acts of robbery.
And the Viper organization is even more so; it's the organization that sent Gu Yan to the laboratory.
How is that possible?!
Shen Jing didn't believe it at all. She thought this person was just taking advantage of her memory gaps and deliberately making things up.
Although she's portrayed as a villainous female supporting character in the book, she couldn't possibly have done something like that... right?
And the timeline is wrong too.
She was sent to Gu Yan's base five years into the apocalypse, while Gu Yan had already been harmed by the Viper organization at the beginning of the apocalypse.
"If that's the case, it doesn't make sense," Shen Jing voiced her doubts.
"So you took over the Viper organization later on."
"...I'm that amazing?" Awesome, no wonder she's such a dedicated villainous supporting character.
Gu Yan saw through her thoughts and continued, "Arrogant, vicious, and inhuman."
Who are you talking about?
"You."
He sat up and leaned closer to her, pinching her cheek with his hand, which was covered in scratches.
While Shen Jing was still in a daze, he lingered on her gently.
He said calmly, "So I'm the best fit for you."
Shen Jing looked up at Gu Yan in surprise.
She didn't have time to think about what it meant to definitely go back to him. But what shocked her the most was the information revealed in his words.
"...Did I really do so many bad things?"
So what is she in front of Shen Ting and Liang Jingyan?
She was clearly just a tool in their relationship, both in her past and present lives.
But Gu Yan's meaning is...
Is she not just a plot device, but also a truly vicious female supporting character?
