Escape 99 Times (VIII) Just like that, look at me. …
The world that was restarted this time is a technological world without super powers.
Xuanyuan became the heir of the Xuanyuan family just like before.
In order to get in touch with Xuanyuan as soon as possible, Lu Renjia started skipping grades.
In this life, he was admitted to a top university in the world, majoring in network technology.
In fact, the so-called learning was just a cover. He just needed to find an excuse for his hacking skills so as not to be caught and dissected.
After being together for a long time, he understood better than anyone how sensitive Xuanyuan was.
With his outstanding skills, Xuanyuan was recommended to him as expected.
After the academic lecture, they looked at each other after being introduced by their tutor.
This is the first time they meet in this life.
One of them is eighteen years old, the other is sixteen years old. One is a budding technology star, and the other is a rising business president.
Although Xuanyuan is still young, he already possesses the basic qualities of a leader. Facing Lu Renjia, who has extraordinary potential, he is friendly but not fawning, which makes people feel very comfortable.
He smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."
The person in front of me had a familiar face but a strange expression.
It's like I never knew him.
Yes, in this life, they didn’t know each other.
Lu Renjia thought he had gotten used to it a long time ago.
He calmed himself down and smiled the smile he had practiced through countless reincarnations.
This time the smile was neither stiff nor forced, but refreshing.
He said, "Nice to meet you."
…
Lu Renjia joined the technical department of Huanxing Group.
Xuanyuan valued him very much, expressed his importance to him in front of everyone many times, and offered him a satisfactory high salary.
Also because of Xuanyuan's appreciation, he never felt the threat of death again.
After graduation, he joined the world's leading Huanxing Group, where he received a high salary, was highly valued by the president, and had absolute say in his field.
Anyone would be grateful to Xuanyuan for meeting his mentor, and would be loyal to the company to repay the kindness.
But he always felt uncomfortable.
This discomfort reached its peak when Xuanyuan once again praised him in front of everyone.
When Xuanyuan looked at him, there was a gentle smile in his eyes.
It shouldn't be like this.
They should have been destined to be enemies. No one knew each other better than them. They could fight, they could scheme, they could stab each other with swords, but it shouldn't be like this now. They seemed to be living in harmony, but in fact there was a chasm between them.
The technical department is still not close enough.
How close is close?
How close do I have to be to...stab the dagger into his heart?
Lu Renjia made a lot of plans.
But all these plans were aborted before they even started.
Because this time the attacker is here.
Lu Renjia had been paying close attention to everyone around Xuanyuan, but he didn't expect that the attacker this time was not a human, but a potted plant.
The aloe vera bought by the secretariat and placed on Xuanyuan's desk contains the soul of a young girl.
After the girl had a car accident, she was forced to live in this pot of aloe vera.
She watched helplessly as the aloe vera was bought and then placed next to the legendary President Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan discovered the abnormality of aloe vera, and found that aloe vera would shake its leaves even when there was no wind; when the electric wire caught fire, it was the aloe vera that suddenly fell on the desk and extinguished the flames.
Xuanyuan began to pay attention to this peculiar potted plant.
I started to fertilize and water it myself, and tried to read the potted plant's mind from every shake of its leaves.
One day later, Xuanyuan asked his doctor friend in a trance, "I dreamed that the aloe vera I raised became a spirit. Is this a precursor to schizophrenia?"
It was not until then that Lu Renjia confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with the pot of aloe vera.
Lu Renjia had actually noticed Xuanyuan's unusual attention to the potted plant a long time ago, but he just thought that Xuanyuan in this life had fallen in love with growing flowers.
Who would have thought that the attacker this time was a pot of aloe vera.
He watched Xuanyuan and Aloe getting closer and closer.
One time, he came to the office to report the progress to Xuanyuan, and happened to see Xuanyuan talking to Aloe. He seemed to be talking to himself, but there was always a smile on his face.
When he turned to look at him, the emotion in Xuanyuan's eyes receded like the tide, leaving only the gentle admiration he showed towards his subordinates.
What a clear contrast.
It was obvious that in the previous life, he was the one who was stared at like this.
Of course, he didn't have any feelings towards Xuanyuan, nor was he jealous.
It's just that his opponent didn't take him seriously, and he was unwilling to accept it.
That's all.
Lu Renjia knew that Aloe wanted to win Xuanyuan's favor and steal Xuanyuan's luck.
Lu Renjia couldn't bear to see his opponent being defeated by such a vicious trick.
But he wanted to remind her, but didn't know how to start.
Because the means by which he obtained the information was shady.
But maybe it's fine to just let Xuanyuan's luck be sucked away.
After that, whether Xuanyuan, who had lost his luck, lived or died had nothing to do with him.
Anyway, all he wanted was to survive.
Perhaps when Xuanyuan, the "protagonist", is no longer the protagonist, his fate as a passerby will also be broken free.
He withdrew his gaze from Aloe Vera, smiled, turned around and walked out.
…
The accident happened one evening.
The sunset that day was like a handful of extremely thick blood.
A gigantic plant that no one had ever seen before penetrated the entire building of Huanxing Group and grew wildly in the surrounding areas.
Humans, plants, birds and animals, everything it touches is its nourishment.
The emerald green branches and leaves bypass the steel bars and lime, climb up the hundreds-story building, and bloom like a flower of flesh and blood on the cold building.
Xuanyuan is not dead.
At the critical moment, Aloe Vera turned into a young girl and protected him.
Xuanyuan picked up the barefoot girl and ran among the ruins and the sunset.
This is an unprecedented disaster.
The huge plant took root in the soil, enveloped the entire earth, and then fell into a deep sleep.
As long as you don't harm its branches and leaves, you won't disturb it and it will become its nutrients.
Humans survive in the cracks between plants.
During the mutation, some humans began to awaken special abilities.
One of Xuanyuan's abilities is the sandbox.
A very powerful ability.
The reason why he said "one of" is not because Lu Renjia saw Xuanyuan's other supernatural powers, but because he knew Xuanyuan well enough and didn't believe that Xuanyuan didn't have some hidden cards.
Lu Renjia has not awakened any special powers.
However, he forcibly tamed a small sprout of a huge plant.
The sprouts took root in his bones and fed on his flesh.
He would prune the branches regularly to prevent the young buds from eating away at the tree.
This is really a dangerous decision. If you are not careful, you will become a mummy.
However, rather than becoming an ordinary person who could only look up to Xuanyuan forever, he would rather take the risk.
His teacher at the beginning commented that he was calm, but that was just appearance. In his veins flowed the blood of a madman.
The young shoots consume vitality and can also deliver vitality when necessary.
With the power of the sprouts, he apparently gained the ability to "heal".
In the troubled times, Xuanyuan led the survivors to form the last base of mankind.
Lu Renjia did not join the base.
Outside the base, he assembled bionic robots and built a machine scout to control information.
He occasionally appears when Xuanyuan is on a mission.
Sometimes it helps, sometimes it makes things difficult.
The people who followed Xuanyuan didn’t understand why Xuanyuan was so good to him in the past, but now he wanted to make things difficult for Xuanyuan.
Someone advised him.
Someone scolded him.
Only Xuanyuan looked at him with a pair of eyes, and the fanatical fighting spirit that he was very familiar with reappeared in his eyes.
[Just like that, look at me.]
