Chapter 205 We Don’t Deserve Happiness
At this moment, Lin's boyfriend Xi was hiding on the bottom floor of a long-staircase building.
When he is resurrected, he can freely choose the resurrection location.
Without hesitation, he chose the location where Lin Cang was, ready to kill the injured Lin Cang directly.
However, he didn't expect that the system could be blocked here. He couldn't contact the system, nor could he sense Luo Yunjin's location. He could only explore the building alone.
Cages containing zombie monsters are hung outside each level of the stairs. The overall layout here is very similar to the underground prison city in City A. All the cages have special numbers on them.
He carefully checked every cage these days, but the only one missing was cage number 426.
The bottom floor contained only some dusty bookshelves and a leather sofa.
There were blankets and clothes on the sofa.
Sitting on the sofa, you can look up at all the cages in the building.
"You're finally here." A magnetic voice sounded in the darkness.
Lin Cang's body was wrapped in bandages with blood oozing out, and a faint light shone through the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses.
He sat down on the sofa. "Are you curious about this place, my dear brother?"
Lin Cang took out a black remote control from his pocket and pressed it. A cage slowly slid down under the action of the mechanism, and a woman with disheveled hair was locked in the cage.
The woman was skinny and leaned against the railing, with a look of numbness and despair on her face.
Lin Xi widened his eyes slightly. This woman looked 50% similar to Luo Yunjin.
Lin Cang was very satisfied with Lin Xi's shocked expression. He pressed another button and three cages fell slowly in succession.
There were women in the cages, and they all looked similar to Luo Yunjin.
"Do you like it? As long as it is something you like, I can find it for you." Lin Cang stood up, pulled out an electric baton from the gap between the sofas, and hit the woman through one of the cages.
Soon, the other party screamed in pain.
Lin Xi clenched his fists.
"Tsk tsk, tell me, if I bring your little lover in, won't her painful expression be even more beautiful?"
Lin Xi rushed forward and punched Lin Cang in the face without saying a word, "You bastard."
"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Cang smiled coldly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Yes, that's right. Lin Xi, you have to be more ruthless. Only in this way can you extract the most complete and powerful crystal core."
"We, the Lin family, don't deserve happiness. If you really want to do good for that woman, stay away from her. If she is discovered by the family, her fate will be far more miserable than theirs." Lin Cang pointed to the cage hanging in the air.
The people and zombie monsters in the cage were dying, but they were holding on to their last breath, unable to live or die.
Lin Xi pursed her lips, "I know, but I believe that if I can convince them, maybe..."
"There's no maybe. After all these years, haven't you seen clearly? We are just tools used to cultivate supernatural crystal cores. Love will only become our weakness. We have no future at all."
"I can change." Lin Xi interrupted him. After living his life again, he realized that his biggest enemy was not the family that trained him as a death warrior, but the powerful forces that proposed to conduct horrific experiments.
His family actually loves their children and only acts coldly to protect them.
He only understood this after his death in his previous life.
It's a miserable life, one experience is enough.
Now that he has the chance to start over, he must change the situation.
Lin Cang didn't say anything. He stared deeply into Lin Xi's eyes and said, "You can try. Let's not talk about the strong defense of the central base. You can't even break through here."
"If you can find the exit within a day, I will trust you." Lin Cang said calmly, then got up and went upstairs. "You should be very familiar with the layout here. I wish you good luck."
The moment he stepped on the steps, the long staircase turned into an elevator.
The elevator slowly rose and then disappeared.
The interior of the entire high-rise building has become a hollow cylinder.
The surrounding walls are made of smooth diamonds, without any traces of mechanisms.
Lin Xi silently searched the sofa and bookshelf on the floor, but did not find any switches or any secret passages on the wall.
The design of this building is exactly the same as the underground prison where he was imprisoned for experiments since he was a child. Even the building materials are very similar. These diamonds are indestructible and not even high-level power-type psychics can break them.
Time passes by every second.
Lin Xi sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. He just walked around once and gave up the idea of continuing to search. Instead, he sat down and rested.
Six hours passed and he remained indifferent.
At this time, Lin Cang, who had been monitoring the man through the surveillance camera outside the building, began to get anxious. He had seen hope of life in the other's eyes, but he didn't expect it was just talk.
As time passed, Lin Xi on the surveillance screen remained motionless, even his breathing was very slow, like a wax figure.
Lin Cang finally couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the stairs again, went down, walked to Lin Xi, held his shoulders, and wanted to stuff pills into his mouth.
Lin Xi opened his eyes at this moment and a hand grabbed his arm.
"Look, we've found the exit." Lin Xi smiled faintly. "Like I said, family members are all sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. You're still worried about me after all, and you don't really want to harm me."
Lin Cang was stunned.
"I know you all have cold exteriors but kind hearts. Actually, you can tell me about anything. I can help share the burden. I'm not as fragile as you think." Lin Xi said solemnly, "Brother, the same goes for you. Everything you do is to protect me."
Lin Cang took a step back in shock, "How...how did you know?"
"From the moment you disguised yourself as Pei Chuan and came to see me in the villa, I could tell your purpose wasn't to torture me, but to see how I was living. Later, when we encountered the puppet zombies, you protected me in secret. Even when I wanted to kill you, you didn't use your full strength." Lin Xi analyzed calmly.
"you……"
"I've known this for a long time, so you don't have to hide it from me. Father and the others are the same. You're all just trying to protect me. The real enemy is someone else. They're trying to turn our entire family into a weapon that produces high-quality crystal cores." Lin Xi stood up calmly and looked at Lin Cang, "I know all your difficulties."
"If my guess is correct, they have found the lightning bead that can control me. That's why you are so anxious to lock me up here and prevent them from finding me. Because now they have set their sights on Luo Yunjin, there is a high possibility that I will be discovered."
This time it was Lin Cang's turn to open his eyes wide.
He didn't expect his younger brother to be so smart.
He actually guessed everything the same.
"Now that you know the truth, just stay here with me. I won't let them find you."
Lin Xi shook his head slightly. "No need. I think they've already noticed me. I made a contract with that girl. An inexplicable power made me her pet. This power can protect me."
