“Cooperation is no problem,” Hua Changle said frankly, “but I don’t cooperate with people whose motives are unclear.”
Lu Sheng looked troubled, then his face was full of regret: "Well, there's nothing I can do then. It's a pity we couldn't cooperate. From now on, we'll just have to see how things go."
Hua Changle stood up, leaving behind the words, "I'll be keeping an eye on you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The perspective in the dream is Hua Changle's, and as she turns her head, Lu Sheng leaves the frame.
Hua Changle took two steps forward and opened the door. Lu Sheng called her back, and Hua Changle turned around.
Lu Sheng had already stood behind her, looking at her with a strange expression, his eyes filled with expectation, probing, regret, and so on.
Compared to before, he seems like a completely different person.
Hua Changle had a bad feeling. She took a step back and tried to question him, but she was shocked to find that she could not make a sound.
He tried to move his hand, but found that his superpowers were completely unusable.
She could only watch helplessly as Lu Sheng walked over and suddenly reached out his hand.
Hua Changle was startled, her consciousness left her, and the scene became completely blurry, with only Lu Sheng's last voice remaining in her mind:
Are you Ajiu?
It was this sentence that jolted her awake from her dream.
However, even dreams are told from a first-person perspective.
Therefore, Hua Changle, who was standing at the door of the room on the second floor, could not be seen. She Jiameng was standing downstairs.
He watched her enter Lu Sheng's office, and then watched her leave, a strange smile appearing on his face.
"Hua Changle, you're finished."
Shortly after that, news broke that Hua Changle and Lu Sheng had conspired to take advantage of Meng Danruo, and Hua Changle's reputation plummeted.
That's something that happened within Hua Changle's known timeline, so we won't go into it for now.
And it is said that flowers often bring joy and startle dreams.
She was still in shock when she woke up, and it took her a while for her head to start moving again.
"Was it... a dream?"
"No, this is a memory, isn't it?"
Hua Changle placed her hand on her face; both were ice-cold.
After consuming [Ice Moon], her body temperature will drop below normal after she falls asleep, which can be considered a minor side effect.
"It is indeed a memory, but it may not be entirely true."
Hua Changle felt that this explanation was the most reasonable.
Otherwise, the dream wouldn't be so realistic, and it would be impossible to remember every word after waking up.
However, simply stating that it was the original owner's memory failed to explain Lu Sheng's final question.
Hua Changle was unsure whether Lu Sheng had deduced from Pu Lan that she was A Jiu.
But whether he could guess or not, he never went to her to ask, so those images were ultimately her imagination.
It was just a fragment of memory, but Hua Changle still had unexpected joys.
"There is indeed more to Meng Danruo's story than meets the eye."
According to the memories just now, the original owner was the first to notice Lu Sheng's abnormality, and her initial intention was to stop Lu Sheng from attacking Meng Danruo.
As for why the two later conspired together, Hua Changle felt that it was highly unlikely that the original owner would change her mind and take action against Meng Danruo.
Because she had personally experienced the original owner's hatred for the Hua family, she would not allow anything else that might affect her revenge against the Hua family.
So, what happened in between that led to that result?
One more thing,
Judging from their conversation, the original owner was unaware of Lu Sheng's identity as a member of the "God-Making Faction," but only discovered that he was impersonating someone else and had other motives.
After sorting things out, Hua Changle breathed a sigh of relief, turned over, hugged the rabbit, and continued to sleep.
Just beginning to feel sleepy, not yet in deep sleep.
A sharp pain in her back jolted her awake.
"hiss……"
Hua Changle suddenly sat up, arching his back and gasping for breath. At the same time, he skillfully activated his supernatural power, giving the ghostly thing inside his body a thorough beating.
The companion creature, which had been beaten many times, struggled for a while until Hua Changle felt an itch on his back, and the pain subsided.
Hua Changle sighed deeply, feeling both frustrated and helpless.
The thing behind her has been acting up lately. Although it hasn't flared up as violently as before, it still stirs up trouble every now and then, keeping her from having any peace.
After each outburst, Hua Changle would notice some changes on her back.
Once the pain in her back subsided, Hua Changle went to the bathroom, turned on the light, and exposed her back in front of the mirror.
She looked closely and gasped, "What the hell is this!"
In the mirror,
On the girl's clearly defined back, two grotesque dark purple cracks ran along either side of her spine. From the tiny wounds on these cracks, wisps of black liquid, almost like gas, oozed out...
From a distance, it looks like it's covered in hair!
But upon closer inspection, they turned out to be short limbs, or rather... tentacles.
It grows behind her!
It's still moving!
Holy crap!
Hua Changle grimaced, his hands trembling like a cafeteria lady as he touched the wobbly black things.
Before her hand even touched her, several tendrils eagerly wrapped around her fingers, like her symbiotic vines, trying to rub against them.
It has a soft, silky feel, like touching silk, yet you can't quite grasp the solid substance.
"Eek~"
Hua Changle shivered violently.
Despite having mentally prepared herself countless times, she still couldn't help but feel a chill when strange things actually grew on her back.
Before she could even get used to the presence of these strange things, her internal powers stirred again. Hua Changle groaned and felt something more trying to squeeze out of her back.
A tearing sensation came from my back, and more black stuff emerged, followed by gushing blood beads.
"not good."
