Jin Chu's gaze swept back and forth between Qin Sheng and Zhen Zhu, and the vague guess in her heart gradually became clear. Finally, she took a deep breath.
"Qin Sheng, that's the person," he said with certainty.
Zhenzhu lowered her eyes, tacitly agreeing.
At that moment, Jin Chu didn't know how to describe her feelings, and could only say with a complicated look in her eyes, "You two are quite destined for each other."
Isn't it just fate?
They were the same age, looked similar, got into the same university, chose the same major, and even ended up in the same class and dormitory.
If it weren't for his guidance in helping Zhenzhu fill out her college application, and his certainty that those people hadn't been around Zhenzhu for the past two years, he would have thought it was all intentional.
Thinking of this, Jin Chu recalled some things Zhen Zhu had said to him about Qin Sheng when school first started. A thought struck him, and he said, "So you didn't like to talk to Zhen Zhu at first because you thought she was sent by that force to be by your side?"
No, that's not it.
At least not entirely.
When Qin Sheng first saw Zhen Zhu's appearance, her first reaction was indeed to suspect that she was similar to Mu Shier. However, not to mention that Black Prison suffered heavy losses after being messed with by Zhen Zhu and Fu Jingheng last time, and they were probably recuperating somewhere at the moment, even if Zhen Zhu really was from Black Prison and was sent to do something to her, she was not afraid.
At most, just pay a little more attention when you encounter them.
As for ignoring her...
Meeting the intense gazes of the two men, Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to betray her younger brother: "My brother said that Zhen Zhu looks a bit like me and he doesn't like her."
Zhenzhu: "..."
Jin Chu: "..."
Okay, that's a perfect reason, flawless.
After the brother and sister finished asking their questions, it was Qin Sheng's turn to ask.
Qin Sheng took Zhen Zhu's pulse and, after confirming that there were no immediate problems, withdrew his hand from channeling spiritual energy into her body.
He asked carefully, "When did you leave there, and how did you leave?"
Zhen Zhu recalled for a moment, not quite sure about the time, only knowing: "At that time, it seemed that the place was under attack by other forces. I was locked in a laboratory and felt the tremors several times. Later, I passed out and when I woke up, I was already outside."
"The time frame should be about a year, not long before the Spring Festival last year."
Zhen Zhu suddenly thought of something, glanced at Qin Sheng, and asked hesitantly, "Brother said that your biological laboratory has developed a new gene-reversing drug that can turn me back to my original form. Is that true?"
Qin Sheng glanced at Jin Chu, paused, then pulled a small bottle from her pocket and handed it to Zhen Zhu.
Zhen Zhu's somewhat gloomy eyes lit up, and she reached out to take the bottle, eagerly pouring out a pill and swallowing it.
Qin Sheng opened her mouth to stop her, but looking into the other person's eyes, which were full of excitement and hope, she paused and changed her words to: "Take one in the morning and one at night. You can take one first, and I'll get you more when you're done."
Zhenzhu felt that the swelling and soreness in her limbs and body had subsided somewhat, and her eyes sparkled as she sincerely said, "Thank you."
Qin Sheng shook her head slightly.
Ultimately, it wasn't stated that these drugs were still experimental and not yet ready for formal use.
Zhenzhu's emotions gradually calmed down, and she had hope of recovery. She even became less concerned about the ugly wounds and bloodstains on her body, and slowly got off the bed.
When Jin Chu saw this, he quickly stepped forward to help her, saying, "Tell me what you want to do, and I'll help you."
Zhenzhu's body was severely depleted after this attack, and she was especially weak. She was already out of breath after only taking a few steps, so she didn't push herself.
He pointed to the bedside table and said, "I want my phone."
Jin Chu immediately took it for her.
Zhen Zhu took the phone, immediately went into the photo album and searched around, finally finding a few photos and handing them to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng looked at it with suspicion, and when he saw the scene in the photo, his pupils suddenly contracted.
There are more than twenty photos, and every single one of them shows a person... perhaps they can no longer be called a person.
Their skin and flesh are twisted, their facial features are deformed, or their limbs are missing... They are all so twisted that their original appearance is no longer recognizable.
Zhen Zhu showed the photos to Qin Sheng one by one, observing her expression as she flipped through them. Seeing that she wasn't as annoyed or indifferent as she had imagined, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said, "Actually, I wasn't the only one they threw out. All of them were."
"At first I didn't know why they suddenly threw us out, but after we exchanged some information, we roughly guessed it."
"They must have been attacked by a mysterious force, lost the battle, and suffered heavy losses. To reduce their losses, they abandoned us, who were no longer of any use, and left us to fend for ourselves."
Qin Sheng had already thought of this without her having to say it.
A year ago, it was exactly the time when she and Fu Jingheng infiltrated the Black Prison and attacked it from within.
Afterwards, while she was still in control of her emotions, she even summoned heavenly lightning to attack the Black Prison's flying machine.
That single blow caused damage to the aircraft equal to all the damage done before.
The energy required to repair the spacecraft and hide it in the interdimensional space is unimaginable.
Under such circumstances, black prisons should be minimized as much as possible.
Experiment subjects like Zhenzhu, whose experiments had failed and lost their value, became the first to be abandoned by the Black Prison.
They just threw them all out.
There was no need for Qin Sheng to explain these things to Zhen Zhu in detail. She glanced at the photos in front of her and asked, "Where are these people now?"
This time, it was Jin Chu who answered her.
He immediately said, "Right here, in this building."
He explained, “Ever since Zhuzhu disappeared, the Zhen family and I have been searching for her. It was Zhuzhu who managed to contact me, so I went there immediately and brought her and the others here.”
"Zhuzhu's condition was the best among everyone. Although her condition was not good at the time, she miraculously recovered on her own after resting for a month. She looked no different from a normal person. We observed her for another week to make sure there were no changes, and then we returned to the Zhen family."
As for the others...
Zhen Zhu's eyes dimmed as she said, "Those people were imprisoned for longer than me, and they were given much larger doses of drugs. Of the twenty-seven people I brought back, nine have died, leaving only eighteen."
The main problem is that people in their situation are afraid to go to the hospital, and they don't even dare to seek out doctors. If problems arise, they can only bear it on their own. If they can endure it, they will live; if they can't, they will die.
As a result, nine people died in less than a year.
Even Jin Chu and Zhen Zhu were powerless to do anything about this.
All they could do was provide them with shelter and ensure their daily needs were met.
