Chapter 105 The Four: "Today, you are mine."
On the dark sea, a cold wind carrying the salty smell swept over us.
The three of them broke out of the water, and Amber's tail fin created a cold, bright arc in the dark seawater, with water droplets sliding down in strings.
Sang Li was lifted to the crest of a wave by Amber, and a blinding white light immediately exploded in her ears!
Using high beams is just so inconsiderate!
If I had a mirror, I would never let these people be so arrogant!
Sang Li was indignant and spat out a curse.
BEAM's searchlights pierced the night, illuminating the once lifeless sea as if it were daytime.
Sang Li patted Amber: "Hurry up, hurry up."
Amber is now like his mount.
They are exactly the same.
This involves both dual cultivation and a mount.
Sang Li found it hard not to feel like she was cultivating immortality.
On the sea, several rescue boats spotted Sang Li and were approaching. The roar of their lights and engines echoed across the water, buzzing like swarms of flies. Marine creatures pounced on their beds, their sharp teeth coughing and gnawing at the solid metal panels.
Lu Jin steadied himself amidst the waves, half-submerged in the water, letting the night wind cut through his soaked hair.
It came too fast.
Their ability to pinpoint the location so quickly couldn't have been solely due to the speed of a sea search.
He knew perfectly well that he must still have some device on him, some mark implanted without his knowledge, allowing BEAM to approach him in a straight line like a traction signal. It might not just be a chip; he needed a more comprehensive checkup. He had to go back and find Bai Heng. He had only taken Sang Li out to sea before, such trips weren't uncommon, so why was BEAM able to detect the anomaly this time and come in such a high-profile manner?
They were definitely monitoring his vital signs; he and Sang Li had been under BEAM's surveillance the whole time.
Although he was very reluctant to part with Sang Li.
Although, given Sang Li's personality, she wouldn't abandon him and run away alone.
Although she has so many men around her that she can't count them on one hand.
but.
If this continues, Sang Li will be dragged into it.
This is something he absolutely cannot allow.
Moreover, he also needs an opportunity.
An opportunity to return to BEAM with a legitimate identity. Before they know that Fei Ling's unusual ability is the "Memory Flower Room" and that he already knows everything, he must find the truth himself.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Amber, his gaze so deep it seemed to swallow the night sea whole.
There's nothing we can do but let this fish get a good deal.
He had never been so humiliated in his life.
Especially in front of Sang Li.
"Attack me."
Lu Jin's expression remained calm.
Amber paused for half a second amidst the waves, seemingly pondering what Lu Jin had just said. Then, her sea-blue pupils seemed to ignite, revealing a sharp smile.
Lu Jin felt like he was blinking.
How could a fish laugh so...despicable!
“I couldn’t ask for more,” Amber said.
The sea surface suddenly trembled, as if struck by some invisible pulse.
Whoosh!
Before Sang Li knew what was happening, Amber had already reached out and pulled Sang Li into her arms: "Hold me tight, don't be afraid."
Sang Li: ?
Didn't we agree to run away?
Whom are we attacking?
etc!
Amber: "Close your eyes, it's too bloody."
Sang Li: ?
Lu Jin gritted his teeth; those were the words he should have said.
but.
Now is not the time for him to express his love.
It's all my fault for not taking care of everything before I left!
With a flick of its silver tail fin, the waves rose up like mountains, crashing down on Lu Jin with tremendous force!
Lu Jin knew that Amber wouldn't pass up this opportunity to settle personal scores.
Amidst the roar of the waves, Sang Li opened her eyes wide.
No way.
Couldn't you at least tone down your power a little?
A cloud of water mist rose from the sponge, and the next second, she saw Lu Jin's figure being torn apart by that force and suddenly disappear from her sight.
Take her sightseeing.
It seemed she didn't want even a trace of Lu Jin in her eyes.
Sang Li: "..."
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Amber: "He let me."
Sang Li: "How could you lie?"
Amber: "He did it."
Sang Li: "..."
She could only turn back and watch Lu Jin's silhouette sink behind the surging waves, as if abandoned by the entire night.
The icy sea suddenly closed in, slamming Lu Jin into the depths.
Until BEAM's searchlights began searching for the sponge.
Sang Li sighed; Amber didn't give her another chance to look.
With each flap of its tail fin, the seawater became propulsion, and no BEAM team could catch up with Amber in the water.
Unless, it's Lu Jin.
There was only one person, Lu Jin.
The surrounding scenery became blurry shadows and white foam, the ocean currents roared in my ears, and my heart was pounding so fast that I felt like I was about to be drowned out by the sound of the tide.
Sang Li put her arm around Amber's shoulder, her hair brushing against his collarbone and cheek.
Amber's body was as cold as a fish, but Sang Li didn't feel cold at all.
After an unknown amount of time, the oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared.
When Sang Li’s vision refocused, they had already left that dark sea and reached a distance of several hundred nautical miles.
The seawater here is crystal clear and deep blue, the night sky hangs low, and all pursuers have disappeared.
It was very calm.
The sun in Sangli throbbed with heat, and the sound of the tide in my ears was like a hypnotic lullaby.
She nudged Amber: "What if you get hurt?"
Amber: "He also often uses lethal force, have you forgotten?"
Sang Li knew he was in the wrong.
Amber: "A hypocrite."
Sang Li: ? ? ?
Sang Li: "Where did you learn those words?"
Amber: "It just occurred to me."
Sang Li: "Okay."
When they first met, Lu Jin almost blasted Amber to smithereens with a single shot.
Amber's ability to teleport is probably due to Ike Wataru.
Chi Du has done a lot of bad things behind my back.
Sang Li was actually a little worried about Lu Jin, but she also felt that he should be able to handle it.
She knew why Lu Jin did that.
Someone has to stay in BEAM to find out what really happened. Bai Heng's power isn't enough, so Lu Jin's identity is actually the most suitable. He hasn't exposed anything yet, and he can go back under the pretense of failing to capture Sang Li and Amber, so no one can find an excuse.
The Bureau's human experiments on abnormal individuals over the years are by no means just the tip of the iceberg.
There must be a deeper and larger plan lurking behind this.
After all, the experiments on himself started thirty years ago.
But these inferences seem too heavy at this moment.
She felt tired, her eyelids felt heavy, as if they were soaked with seawater, and she wanted to close them.
Amber's hand landed on the top of her head, her fingertips slightly cool, yet her movements were surprisingly gentle.
Sang Li felt that she had a fever again.
However, before she could even catch her breath...
Suddenly, a low cracking sound came from the entire sea surface, like glass being split in two.
The water beneath our feet suddenly plunged down, churning into a giant spiral hole.
Sang Li only had time to open her eyes wide before the entire seawater seemed to be sucked out and rushed down!
Gravity suddenly shifted, and she and Amber simultaneously lost their balance, being swept into the crack by that irresistible force!
A chill and weightlessness struck simultaneously, and the surroundings turned into bottomless blackness.
The next moment, they fell into an unknown abyss.
Sang Li: They really don't let me rest at all.
***
Lu Jin slowly opened his eyes. His vision was first stung by the pure white light for a moment, then he saw the row of sterile lights on the ceiling.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Tsk.
That was really heavy-handed.
You really can't reason with animals; they have no idea how to pretend.
He was lying in BEAM's medical room.
Sure enough, he came back.
He tried to sit up, but felt a dull pain in his chest.
"..."
Amber really went all out.
Is it really necessary?
Lu Jin caught a glimpse of two people sitting beside him out of the corner of his eye.
One is Director Peng Bo, Bai Heng's mentor, and also a student of Professor Olga, the founder of the BEAM Science Department.
“You almost died,” Bloomberg said, sounding somewhat shaken. “Luckily you were saved, otherwise your file would have been moved to the obituary section.”
Qian Rujun closed the file, his gaze fixed on him impassively: "Tell me, what happened?"
Lu Jin didn't know what information they knew or didn't know, but that wasn't important at the moment.
The most important thing is that your own logic is coherent.
Lu Jin lowered his eyes, his voice indifferent: "Originally, I just wanted to take Sang Li to see the sea. She wanted to go, so I went with her. I reported the matter according to procedure long ago, so there's no problem with the process."
He paused, as if mentioning it casually: "But at sea, we encountered Amber."
No one spoke.
Lu Jin raised his eyes and retorted, "But I'd like to ask, how did the Management Bureau find me? How did they know I was in danger?"
Qian Rujun smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Amber's strength is not enough to harm you."
His confident tone made it seem as if it were an undeniable fact.
Although it is the truth.
However, it was sarcastic and unsettling.
Lu Jin remained unmoved: "He has evolved, and you still haven't caught him."
In short, he needed to find out what Qian Rujun knew.
really.
Qian Rujun's smile vanished instantly, his face turning as cold as frozen water.
Lu Jin stared at Qian Rujun. Although he was the leader, he was not afraid of him.
"Why are Raven and Amber evolving?" Lu Jin asked his superior in a low voice, pressing him, "They should have already surpassed the S+ level, what exactly happened?"
He looked directly into Qian Rujun's eyes: "Amber's strength is comparable to mine, or even inferior, I admit that. But at sea, I can't fully utilize my abilities. More importantly, I need to save Sang Li. I can't find Sang Li's coordinates; you're the ones who lost her."
Shifting the blame.
Qian Rujun's expression remained unchanged, as if he was weighing something. After a few seconds, he slowly spoke: "We also know that it would be very dangerous for Sang Li to fall into Amber's hands."
He was unable to answer Lu Jin's question.
Too many secrets are involved.
Just as Lu Jin was about to ask another question, Qian Rujun stood up, his tone filled with a cold command: "We will spare no effort to bring her back. You should rest well first, and return to your post once you have recovered."
After saying that, Qian Rujun turned and left.
Director Peng pushed up his glasses, glanced at Lu Jin, and then followed him out.
No one answered Lu Jin's question, but he guessed it.
The corridor lights were dimmer than those in the medical room, and the air was slightly chilly.
Peng Bo stopped at the door and whispered to Qian Rujun, "Lu Jin's data hasn't changed, and Sang Li hasn't caused any genetic abnormalities in him. It's credible now."
Qian Rujun withdrew his gaze, his expression somber: "If we can't find Sang Li, how can we carry out our plan? We can't let all our previous efforts go to waste."
***
Sang Li woke up groggily, her consciousness slowly returning like the tide.
The sky was already bright, and golden sunlight streamed in through the half-open blinds. Outside the window was a row of coconut trees swaying in the wind, and the air was filled with the moist scent of the sea breeze.
It's very clear.
This is the perfect pairing with a martini.
Sang Li subconsciously touched her forehead. She had thought that the dizziness and fever she felt last night would turn into a high fever all night, but strangely, apart from feeling a little weak, she also felt unexpectedly refreshed.
The door creaked open, and Chi Du walked in carrying a tray.
The meal includes a glass of lemonade, a glass of iced milk, a peanut butter sandwich, caramelized bacon, and two fried eggs.
He put the things on the bedside table, smiled, and said, "How are you feeling now? Aren't you much more comfortable?"
Sang Li took the lemonade, sipped it, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Ah? It's you."
Is Chi Du really... appearing everywhere?
Sang Li asked, "Where have you been all this time?"
"We're looking for someone." Chi Du sat on the edge of the bed, his tone casual but undeniably confident. "We're almost there."
"Who?" Sang Li frowned.
Chi Du raised his eyes, his voice sounding relaxed: "Professor He Chen."
Sang Li paused in her hand: "My mother?"
"right."
Before she could ask any more questions, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door, accompanied by approaching footsteps.
Splash, splash.
It's very noisy.
The next moment, the door was pushed open without any ceremony, and Fei Ling appeared wearing a white bathrobe, her hair was wet, and there was still a lot of sand on her body.
Fei Ling's cheeks were flushed, and she looked quite angry: "Why did you call that fish? It stinks!"
Chi Du said quietly, "If we can't beat them, we can't blame anyone else."
“Stop getting all lovey-dovey with him,” Fei Ling glanced at Chi Du sideways, then raised her chin at Sang Li as if declaring ownership, “Today, you are mine.”
Sang Li: "Huh?"
She blinked, looking at Chi Du, who was sitting upright and expressionless, and then at Fei Ling, who had barged in with an air of self-righteousness and whose eyes shone like jewels.
The fight hasn't started yet?
How can we still share a room?
These two... they both seem to have a bit of a crush on me, right?
Strangely, there was no heated, life-or-death confrontation between them.
She couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the relationship between you two?"
Before Chi Du could answer, Fei Ling, as if afraid of being overtaken if she was even a second late, interrupted him, her voice quick and firm: "He is the murderer, I am the victim."
The word "sacrifice" is used very well.
After saying that, Fei Ling took a step forward, moving as nimbly as a cat, and darted to Sang Li's bedside. She bent down, grabbed Sang Li's hand, and pressed it against her chest.
"You have to be kind to me!"
His heart was beating fast, as if deliberately letting her feel it through the thin fabric.
Sang Li: !
Chi Du's voice was calm and unhurried: "I can cut off your hand."
Fei Ling immediately raised her chin and said provocatively, "You can still cut off my head. Don't you hate my face the most? Are you afraid that Sang Li will be bewitched by me? What will you do? In fact, you can't do anything about it."
Ike Watari: "..."
Sang Li knew that Chi Du must have rolled his eyes in his mind.
She took a deep breath, feeling like she had either fallen into some kind of massive hellish scene or was trapped among a group of lunatics.
"What exactly happened?" she asked in a low voice, her gaze sweeping back and forth between them.
Just then.
The door was pushed open, and a gust of damp sea breeze rushed in.
Sang Li first smelled the salty, watery vapor, and then she saw Amber walk in.
Silver hair.
Silver eyes, with a hint of gold, like the color of platinum.
This color scheme actually looks a bit like something out of a Mary Sue movie.
no.
leg? ? ? ? ?
Does anyone know a mermaid with legs?
