Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Ren Xiaoyue followed Qian Meng and had a smooth journey...
Ren Xiaoyue followed Qian Meng and arrived at Qian Meng's office without any obstruction. There were also employees on the road who looked curiously at the person following their boss. Those who knew Ren Xiaoyue would greet her warmly, while those who didn't know her would be pulled aside by their companions to learn more.
"Did you put the things here?" Ren Xiaoyue asked.
Qian Meng nodded in agreement. She locked the office door, added some water to the vase on the wall, then opened the necklace, took the photo out of the necklace, and pressed the button on the back of the photo.
After her operation, the secret door in the office opened.
The Sword of Arias is stored behind the secret door.
Qian Meng stood in front of the Sword of Arias as if to take credit: "I listened to my sister and kept it well!"
She introduced it to Ren Xiaoyue in detail: "All the building materials used here can withstand attacks from superpowers. If you want to open this secret door, you must not only get the switch from me, but also trigger the mechanism here."
"I can see that you are serious." Ren Xiaoyue said sincerely.
Qian Meng smiled sweetly.
Ren Xiaoyue took out a letter from her pocket and continued, "I need you to inform Su Su to take it and this letter to find Lu Ze. Hurry."
"Okay." Qian Meng solemnly took the letter from Ren Xiaoyue.
Qian Meng didn't ask why, nor did she ask where to find it. She believed that this was all a test from Ren Xiaoyue, and she had to give a perfect answer.
After the task was assigned, Ren Xiaoyue was about to leave, but when she saw Qian Meng's full of fighting spirit, she thought for a moment and decided to find something for her to do.
"Do you know Aiga or Isila?" Ren Xiaoyue asked.
"Aija? Yishila?" Qian Meng was a little surprised. "Are they the two people I thought of? Yishila Miller, the duchess who inherited her father's title a year ago, whose territory is close to the imperial capital. Aija, the daughter of a cabinet minister and Yishila's best friend."
Wow, six years have passed and Bai Qun has directly inherited her father’s title. Is she so capable? Ren Xiaoyue looked calm on the surface, but she was shocked inside.
"Go find them," Ren Xiaoyue said seriously, "Describe my appearance and tell them 'Olivia misses you very much', they will understand."
Seeing Ren Xiaoyue so confident, Qian Meng couldn't help but blurt out: "Is this also part of my sister's plan?"
No, I just drew a picture for you.
I don't mean anything else, I just think cannon fodder characters should stay out of the main storyline and just stay on the sidelines as OB.
"You'll know when you see them." Ren Xiaoyue said solemnly.
After briefly explaining the work to Qian Meng, Ren Xiaoyue went straight to find Bai Ling.
When she arrived at the place, she happened to meet Lu Ze and others coming out of Bai Ling's residence. The group was not walking very fast, and were discussing something animatedly while walking. Ren Xiaoyue stopped and hid in the dark. She thought about it for a moment and decided to take this opportunity to take a look at whether the comics had been updated.
A translucent system panel appeared in front of her, and Ren Xiaoyue was pleasantly surprised to find that not only had the comics been updated, but it had also been updated to the point where the protagonists instigated Bai Ling to rebel.
It just happened.
Because of their previous interactions, the protagonists believed that Bai Ling could be turned against the enemy, so they went to find Bai Ling and sought cooperation.
And Bai Ling needs to see their strength and sincerity.
"If you can defeat Twenty-Three, I will not stop you from doing anything afterwards, and I will provide help when necessary." Bai Ling promised.
In order to fulfill this promise, the protagonists set out on a journey to defeat Twenty-Three.
Once Lu Ze and the others defeat Twenty-Three, it will be time for the final battle. Ren Xiaoyue quickly browsed through the comics and had a rough idea in her mind. By the time she closed the system panel, Lu Ze and others had already walked away. She decisively chose a window that she liked and jumped into Bai Ling's residence from there.
Although her entry now has no practical effect, she can get some camera time!
"What a rare guest," Bai Ling, who was dressed in women's clothing, said jokingly as he looked at the woman who walked up to him, "I never thought that Xiao Shiliu would come to me on his own initiative one day."
There was a hint of resentment in his voice.
Bai Ling was wearing a Gothic Lolita dress with a knee-length skirt. He leaned back on the sofa with his eyes half closed, looking untidy. His light blond wig was draped over his shoulders, covering his sharply defined shoulders.
"You talk so much." Ren Xiaoyue sat down opposite Bai Ling.
Bai Ling curled her lips, rubbed her red-polished nails and said, "I have a lot of customers today. What did Xiao Shiliu come to see me for?"
"Let me make a deal with you." Ren Xiaoyue replied.
Bai Ling said, “Hmm?”
Ren Xiaoyue continued: "I need you to help Lu Ze."
Hearing this, Bai Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled charmingly: "Then you are a step too late. I have already made an agreement with that kid that as long as they defeat Twenty-Three, I will take action when necessary."
"For the sake of my dear cousin~" Bai Ling touched her red lips.
"This is the deal between you and me," Ren Xiaoyue emphasized.
She knew that Bai Ling was willing to help, but if she wanted to gain popularity, she had to add more drama to herself.
As for the transaction, Ren Xiaoyue didn't know what she could trade with him. Anyway, as long as she didn't explain it clearly, Bai Ling would make up the story on his own.
Just as Ren Xiaoyue thought, when Bai Ling heard this, he raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Bai Ling placed her left leg on top of her right leg, leaning against the sofa, her attitude softened: "Why are you so long-winded? Tell me, what are you going to trade?"
"You don't want to act rashly because you don't want to offend the organization," Ren Xiaoyue said in one breath, "Except for the treatment of your family, you and the organization don't have a huge disagreement. Even so, you are unwilling to retaliate against them under the pressure of the organization."
“You’re afraid of the organization.”
"You are so afraid of the organization's methods that you ignore what you really want. The right to dispose of your family is just a superficial thing. What you want is freedom."
This is the real reason why Bai Ling wants to overthrow the organization.
He was dragging his feet and unwilling to confront the organization directly because of fear.
When elephants are young, they are tied up with iron chains. Even if they can break free from the chains when they grow up, they will not be able to move. This is the case with Bai Ling. After a long experiment, without him realizing it, he lost his rebellious spirit.
This is the story recorded in his biography, a truth that he has not yet realized.
Bai Ling pulled the corner of her mouth and said reluctantly: "This is new. I didn't even know that I longed for freedom. Why should I long for freedom? Isn't the treatment of the organization good enough? Just do the dirty work and you can get whatever you want."
"If you think so." Ren Xiaoyue said calmly.
Not getting the expected rebuttal, Bai Ling felt like she had punched cotton. He put his left leg down and folded his right leg over his left leg. His mind was a mess. He seemed to have returned to the night seven years ago. He was sitting in the dark living room, opposite Ren Xiaoyue.
Ren Xiaoyue sat there and said nothing, yet seemed to know everything. She sat there in a superior position, waiting patiently for him to sort everything out.
Is he like this?
Is he really afraid of the organization?
No, he just didn't think it was worth it.
Stop lying to yourself. A faint voice inside him questioned him. Don't you believe in Sixteen's insight? Have you forgotten Sixteen's abilities? Do you still remember that Sixteen integrated into the imperial capital's aristocratic circle without you noticing?
Suddenly, Bai Ling remembered what happened before her mother passed away.
His mother was a pale and gentle woman. She has no sense of existence in this family.
She was the best mother in the world until she discovered her father's secret. She would wipe the cookie crumbs from the corners of Bai Ling's mouth with a smile, gently tidy up Bai Ling's clothes, and softly teach Bai Ling her homework.
The false peace was broken on an ordinary afternoon when his mother came home early to give his father a surprise, and then she saw something she shouldn't have seen.
The bodies of the man and the woman overlapped each other like wriggling maggots. The mother, who discovered the truth, wanted to take them away, but was betrayed by the beast and imprisoned at home by the abominable being called "father", and was not allowed to go out. My mother's mental state also deteriorated sharply at that time.
She would no longer gently remind Bai Ling not to forget to bring her water cup, nor would she pat Bai Ling on the head. She is always hysterical and hates any man approaching her.
The young Bai Ling didn't understand why this happened, he only knew that his mother didn't want him anymore. He began to learn to be a good boy, getting up early every day, no longer picking out the carrots he didn't like, and working hard on every homework.
But it was all in vain, his mother still didn't want to see him. It was not until Bai Ling's recorder was smashed by his "playmates" and he was forced to wear women's clothes and cry in the corner of the garden that his mother miraculously recovered. She rushed down the stairs, patted Bai Ling on the back and gently comforted him.
From then on, Bai Ling changed into women's clothes, because only in this way could his mother become his mother again, instead of a stranger who looked at him with trash eyes.
He had a mother again, and someone to sing him a lullaby.
This simple, little happiness did not last long.
The man who hadn't paid attention to Bai Ling for a long time discovered that his son was so similar to that woman. When he was wearing women's clothes, he was a carbon copy of that woman.
Responsible people will look for reasons within themselves, while incompetent people will only blame others. Bai Ling's appearance reminded the man of the humiliation of being forced to compromise with his parents, and the disgust of sleeping in the same bed with a woman he hated. Bai Ling’s closeness to that woman made him even more angry.
As a result, Bai Ling was forced to separate from her mother.
Bai Ling never saw his mother again. Even at his mother's funeral, all he saw was the cold coffin.
To this day, Bai Ling often thinks back to the days when his mother was still alive, and if Ren Xiaoyue hadn't mentioned it today, he might not have even recalled the following experience.
His father, who was not good at business, sold him out in order to continue his extravagant life. Countless children were kept together like livestock. They are used like reagents, like materials, like the most common ingredients in the laboratory. Bai Ling learned a lot at that time, such as how to endure pain.
They will be fed unknown drugs and placed in different environments for comparative experiments. Bai Ling has experienced both extreme heat and extreme cold.
Research shows that people forget painful experiences.
When trying to recall, Bai Ling realized that the experience before becoming a high-level psychic was like being through frosted glass and was not real. He had experienced so much pain in the laboratory, but the first thing he remembered was the joy of surviving each disaster.
Sometimes he was even grateful for that pain. Without it, how could he have gained the strength he had now?
The fear of the children around him dying one by one and the determination to make all those who hurt him pay the price seemed to have passed away unnoticed.
He forgot the pain of being injected with the blood of the alien beast. The rejection reaction caused his whole body to spasm. After he survived, he was surrounded by cold corpses. In a sense, Bai Ling is even lucky. The test subjects who did not react seriously in the alien beast blood rejection experiment were soon taken away and sutured with the alien beast, turning into monsters that were neither human nor ghost.
Some people's legs were replaced with fish tails, some people's chests were beating with the hearts of strange beasts, and some people were sewn into the bodies of strange beasts, with only their heads belonging to them.
The experiments after awakening the superpowers are even more cruel. An unheard-of drug was injected into the body, and the companion who thought he had passed the experiment died in bed the next day, with his limbs dissolving into blood.
Death is always there. Countless anti-human experiments were performed on them. Countless drugs were taken, and their mission was not to survive, but to show the effect of the drugs to those devils.
Bai Ling's breathing became rapid.
Yes, he is afraid, he is hiding, and he is beautifying his memory.
It seemed like it only took a moment to figure this out, but it also seemed like it took a long time. Bai Ling came to her senses and found that Ren Xiaoyue was still in the same position as before, sitting upright on the sofa.
What was she thinking? Bai Ling knew that she was also an experimental subject. Did she leave the organization because she could no longer tolerate these things?
Bai Ling suppressed the mixed feelings in her heart, touched her hair, smiled in a pretentious manner, and spoke with difficulty: "You are really worthy of me. When we met before, I was always wondering what you were planning to do this time, and what role Lu Ze played in you."
"Now it seems that you are taking advantage of this idea of mine to gradually make me lean towards Lu Ze. Haha, I am afraid of you. When those people come back, no matter what the result is, I will help them."
"This time I'm doing it for your sake, my dear." Bai Ling covered her mouth and smiled, trying to hide her guilt.
"As for our deal, I'll tell you when I've thought it through~"
Ren Xiaoyue:……?
Ren Xiaoyue was at a loss for a second.
Wait a minute, even in the world line without her, Bai Ling would pay attention to Lu Ze and side with Lu Ze, so why is this suddenly pinned on her?
Ren Xiaoyue's intuition told her that Bai Ling had imagined something outrageous. The kind that couldn't be undone even with her honest explanation. Reason told her that such a development would be very helpful to her character creation.
Ren Xiaoyue seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, she stood up without saying a word and left Bai Ling's residence through the window in a casual manner.
Forget it, let him think about it, it doesn’t matter, it’s time to find the protagonists.
