Chapter 87
After Wan Di, Jiang Zouwei and Ying Zhao reunited, they wanted to look for Wuyou, but unexpectedly Wuyou appeared on his own initiative.
Wuyou looked at Wandi. She was not surprised that the other party could find this place. She was not angry when her home was broken into, nor was she panicked when the owner chased her after stealing something. She smiled and said, "You are here to find me."
"It's so rude to let guests stand while talking. Everyone, follow me."
I don’t know what Wuyou is up to, but seeing Wan Di take action, Jiang Zouwei and Ying Zhao followed suit.
In the Tiqiu Tree House, Ji Wenxue had just declined Yao Si's invitation to play together tonight because she had important things to do.
She went to Ying Zhao's laboratory. She had studied the medical equipment there hard over the past few days and had mastered it quite well. However, to be on the safe side, Ji Wenxue still inserted the card directly and let the written program run automatically on the machine.
After preparing everything, Ji Wenxue lay on the hospital bed and connected the equipment one by one. She mentally counted the seconds, and on the third count, she heard the beeping sound of the equipment starting up. After three seconds, red appeared in the hoses connecting her wrists, ankles, and heart.
Ji Wenxue knew that the operation had begun.
She could understand Sister Ying Zhao's concerns, but asking her to give up was impossible. The evil blood had to be removed; she didn't want to live with the evil genes.
Blood was being drained continuously, and Ji Wenxue held on for a breath to stay awake. If she could hold on a little longer and the next step went smoothly, she would be relieved even if she fainted later.
The blood was a whole, and she hadn't found a way to separate each part. Even with all her efforts, she could only ensure that half of it was pure. In order to completely eradicate the other half of the blood that carried the evil gene, she had to drain it all away.
Removing the blood was easy, but the person would still die. Replacing the blood with someone else's or an animal's blood presented challenges, such as compatibility and the body's inherent rejection. Ji Wenxue didn't want to burden anyone else, so she decided to use half of her digital life to complete the replacement.
Ji Wenxue had spent the past few days meticulously writing code. When she clicked "Run," she watched the letters and numbers on the screen transform into a face both familiar and unfamiliar to her. She had imitated Nuwa, imbuing her with various qualities and perfecting her soul. The electronic Ji Wenxue she had created was intelligent, brave, confident, and powerful—her ideal self.
Ji Wenxue came to her senses when she heard the machine's "ding" sound. She knew the next step in the program had begun. She was about to faint peacefully, but suddenly her heart felt a sharp pain, as if it were filled with a circle of razor blades, shattering her heart.
Ji Wenxue's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help shouting, "Mom, Mom..."
Someone she had never met before instinctively comforted her at this moment.
After fainting from the pain and then waking up again, Ji Wenxue had lost track of time. The thought of giving up flashed through her mind, but she didn't act. At first, she was reluctant to see her previous efforts go to waste, but later, even if she wanted to, she didn't have the strength.
Before she completely fainted, Ji Wenxue vaguely thought that she didn't know if it was because of her psychological comfort, but after calling her mother, the pain seemed to be less severe.
On the Mirror Planet, Wuyou found a place for everyone to sit down and talk.
Wandi got straight to the point. "Why did you steal the wood from the tree house? Explain clearly and return it."
The sound reminded Wuyou of that night, when the fishing line was wrapped around his neck, his life hanging by a thread. He instinctively stood at attention, but then he felt rather rude for reacting so strongly to someone saying something, especially on his own territory.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a flash of cold light coming. The man next to Wandi, who was as cold as an ice sculpture, attacked, and the sound was like falling ice chips.
"Time is precious, don't talk nonsense."
With a knife at her neck, compromise is understandable. Wuyou's heart was no longer burdened, and she stood up readily. "Actually, I'm crazy about collecting all kinds of trees."
As he spoke, he flicked a switch, and the four walls around him slid away, revealing the scene behind him. A custom-made glass cabinet stretched neatly from floor to ceiling, divided into small compartments, each containing a piece of wood. In the lower right corner was a painting introducing wood.
Looking at the spectacular scene before her, Ying Zhao covered her mouth. She took a few steps closer to carefully read the description above, only to find that everything was handwritten and the pictures were also hand-painted. There were so many cabinets, which showed his thoughtfulness.
Wuyou kept observing the expressions of the people across from him. The gentle-looking woman gazed at her cabinet with admiration. The man with the knife at his neck didn't even turn his head. Meanwhile, Wandi remained seated, her eyes scanning the cabinet, her expression impassive, filled with the composure and confidence of a superior.
"I won't judge your hobbies, but no matter how obsessed you are, stealing is always wrong."
Wuyou said confidently, "I know it's wrong."
"Then you still steal? You are breaking the law knowingly, and your crime is even more serious!" Jiang Zouwei raised the knife in his hand higher.
Wuyou was resilient and immediately yelled at the top of his lungs, "I was wrong!" He turned away from Jiang Zouwei's knife and, before anyone could make the next move, pulled out a piece of wood from the cabinet. "I'm sorry, but this wood is so special. Is it a special variety that only grows in your area?"
Wuyou returned the wood and insisted on asking everyone to stay and treat them well as an apology. During those few days, Wuyou was thoughtful and considerate, providing good service and a good attitude. It seemed that she really wanted to apologize.
"I think Wuyou may not be a bad person by nature, but she was too obsessed with Mu Tou and made such a mistake. During these few days of getting along with each other, I feel that she really cares about Mu Tou." Ying Zhao and Wanti chatted with Jiang Zouwei.
Jiang Zouwei disagreed, "Let's keep it one thing at a time."
Ying Zhao looked at Wanti again, because he could see with his own eyes that Wuyou was very attentive to Wanti in the past few days, as if he was determined to turn over a new leaf.
Wandi simply said, "I still have reservations." After a pause, she asked, "Don't you think Wuyou's subordinates are strange?"
"Strange?" Ying Zhao recalled their meetings over the past few days and shook his head. "I didn't notice anything unusual. Actually, I think Wuyou is quite capable. She came here alone, yet she quickly gained so many friends who trusted her and became king in one fell swoop."
Jiang Zouwei followed Ying Zhao's words and said, "But where does such high trust in these so-called friends come from? Wuyou is almost a complete dictator, and those guys are just like puppets."
Ying Zhao had never paid attention to this problem. After listening to what Wan Di and Jiang Zouwei said, he suddenly felt a little afraid to think about it too much.
"That shouldn't be the case... It won't do Wuyou any good to do this."
It was hard to say. Everyone fell silent. Wandi looked at the screen and suddenly said, "Wen Xue said she was coming to see us."
"That's great. It's quite interesting here. It would be nice to come over and take a look." Ying Zhao said with a smile.
Jiang Zouwei also nodded, "Then I'll send the location over."
The news of her friend's arrival broke the tense atmosphere. Wuyou was slightly taken aback when she heard about it. Ji Wenxue was actually coming over. Thinking of what happened before, she felt like running away.
Ji Wenxue quickly arrived at the Mirror Planet. She looked at the pile of mirrors in front of her without any embarrassment. She stood in front of the mirror for a while and then confidently walked into a mirror.
The next second, Ji Wenxue appeared in front of everyone, showing a huge smile, "Sister Wan Di, Sister Zou Wei, Sister Ying Zhao, I'm coming!" Then she turned to look at the stunned Wuyou, "Wuyou, long time no see."
Wuyou quickly forced a smile and nodded, "Yes... yes."
Ji Wenxue had just arrived, and everyone had been playing with her for the entire day. Wuyou finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to her room. Perhaps because she felt guilty, she had been feeling a bit uneasy the entire time. But it seemed like Ji Wenxue didn't realize that the pesky black cloaked figure was actually herself.
There was a sense of happiness in the midst of panic. If Ji Wenxue knew, she would definitely hate me. How could she still talk to me nicely?
Wuyou was distracted and confused when suddenly a man jumped in from the window.
"Why are you so nervous when you see me? Did you do something bad and don't want me to know?"
Ji Wenxue's sudden appearance was like a ghost, and Wuyou was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out. She stood up suddenly and asked, "What are you kidding? How could I?"
"Really?" Although it was a question, it sounded very confident. Wuyou could only try his best to comfort himself that he was just overthinking it.
"Actually, the information about my mother was a lie. You only know my mother's name, right?" Ji Wenxue was silent for a few seconds and suddenly said it directly.
Wuyou's eyes widened in an instant, and she took a few steps back, "What are you talking about? I don't know."
"Are you still going to pretend? If you're only willing to tell the truth when a knife is on your neck, I don't mind doing that." Ji Wenxue was already a little impatient.
Wuyou was certain Ji Wenxue had done so, and it seemed she knew even more than she had thought. She sighed, "Yes, I only know your mother's name. I overheard it while we were still at the base."
She used this information to deceive Ji Wenxue, wanting to get the wood for the tree house. The battle plan was actually an unexpected gain, but after getting it, Wuyou went to the opposite camp and exchanged it with the battle plan of Tiqiu, and got a piece of wood that she liked very much there.
Ji Wenxue was still skeptical. She pressed closer and closer, "Do you really only know the name, or are you hiding some information waiting to be exchanged with me?"
Wuyou shook her head like a rattle. "I swear I know so much." Ji Wenxue cornered her. She looked up at the eyes that suddenly appeared in front of her. "You...why did the color of your left eye change?"
The red eyes looked like strange flames, making Wuyou feel a chill in his heart.
Ji Wenxue tilted her head and said, "It's none of your business."
