Chapter 115 You Don't Want It? "I can't give it to you."...
Sang Li lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow under the light.
He looked shrouded in gloom.
The memories didn't fully return; they were fragments, like scattered sparks that would suddenly ignite her senses at unexpected moments.
She barely slept during those nights.
My mind was filled with excruciating pain, like needles piercing my bone marrow.
Physical pain and psychological pain are intertwined.
A cold, glaring laboratory table, a scalpel, and numerical codes.
All of this churned in her mind, the past surfacing from the deepest darkness, dragging her into suffocating memories.
When she woke up, her breathing was disordered, and she felt as if she had been pulled out of the water, her whole body wet and cold.
Chi Du held her, patted her back, and kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay."
But the words "It's alright" couldn't extinguish that pain at all.
Moreover, Sang Li's empathy is so great that she can even feel the pain and wails of other abnormal beings.
She can hear.
Her ears and eyes appeared to be bleeding.
The sounds of bones and flesh separating were like waves, one after another.
She screamed in her dream, but no one reached out to help, and eventually she became numb.
Sang Li was just a child back then.
The most important thing in empathizing with one's own hatred is to feel the pain as one feels it.
What arose in the night was not fear, nor retreat, but a hatred so thick it almost overwhelmed reason.
She hates BEAM; the mere mention of the name makes her feel nauseous.
I hate all those condescending, indifferent eyes that treat people like numbers.
She even hated herself.
Sang Li raised her eyes and looked at Bai Heng.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind.
Was the previous "Sang Li" also pre-planned for everything?
Is she also waiting for such an opportunity to naturally transfer the flames of hatred into her current body? Even if it is possible to judge that she may want to "become a normal person" because of amnesia, so the gradually recovering memories will reignite the hatred and desire, burn it up, burn it into embers, turn it into ashes, and the smoke will spread to every corner of her body.
She sensed that something was changing.
Like a long-dormant undercurrent, it finally began to crash against the dam, pushing her in an irreversible direction.
The peaceful life that he was most proud of had long been shattered by BEAM.
It could even be said that she had never had this kind of life.
Bai Heng looked at her and remained silent for a long time.
This was the Sang Li he knew, but the look in her eyes sent chills down his spine.
The hatred surging in her eyes was almost overflowing, yet she still managed to maintain a calm demeanor.
Bai Heng was certain that Sang Li must have cried.
Her nose was twitching, and her eyes were red.
It's so pitiful.
He was heartbroken, but then he suddenly smiled, his tone still as gentle as ever: "I understand you."
He knew what she had endured, and he knew that no one could truly take her place in that pain.
Sang Li swallowed hard, swallowing the choked breath. A slight smile played on her lips as she stared intently at Bai Heng, like a fox in the night: "So, guess what my plan is?"
Bai Heng did not look away; her gaze was like a burning fire, searing his eyes.
He asked in a low voice, "Destroy humanity?"
Sang Li smiled, but her eyes were almost devoid of warmth.
It seemed ridiculous that Bai Heng was saying those words.
“I need your data access.” She said slowly. “I need all the files on the anomalous entities, the lab files, and the files on the drugs under development. I know you have that capability. I need to know where all that stuff is, and what the data is.”
She needs to get these things.
She knew, of course, how confidential this data was; in fact, BEAM's entire system was built upon it.
Bai Heng's breath hitched.
He guessed it.
This was the reason Sang Li came to find him, but he was unwilling to admit it.
"I can't give it to you," Bai Heng said firmly.
Because he knew all too well what that meant.
Those data represent the safety of countless researchers and innocent people. Once they fall into Sang Li's hands, with Chi Du and unknown forces behind her, the situation will completely spiral out of control.
Bai Heng said, "If you only want your own file, I can give it to you."
There's no denying that he likes Sang Li.
But that's all he can do; that's his bottom line.
Even with a burning desire in his heart, he couldn't gamble everyone's future on her hatred.
Bai Heng took a deep breath, his chest heaving, a dull ache spreading through his heart.
There are too many things between liking someone and trusting someone.
She deserves freedom, but she shouldn't bear the burden of destruction.
Therefore, he had no choice but to refuse.
Sang Li blinked, as if she had already guessed this answer, and the smile on her lips faded: "Do you know what they did to me?"
Bai Heng did not answer.
She slowly raised her eyes, the light in them like a flame in the dead of night, scorching the air: "They used me as a 'catalyst' to create a power that can control all anomalies. BEAM's ambitions are too great; they won't let this go easily. Do you still want me captured and taken back for research?"
Bai Heng lowered his eyes, a dull ache in his heart, but still shook his head: "You won't be taken back. I can't give it to you either. There will be other ways to solve this problem."
“Other methods?” Sang Li chuckled, without a trace of pleasure. “They’re probably researching diffusion agents now, implanting fragments of my genes into drugs, injecting them into abnormal individuals, or even humans. In that case, everyone could become my subjects. If they control me, they can control everyone.”
The room fell silent.
Bai Heng clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Sang Li stared at him, her voice growing colder with each passing moment: "Is this the result you wanted, Bai Heng? Besides, shouldn't the human experiments still be ongoing?"
Bai Heng felt as if he had been pricked by needles.
He knew all too well that she was right.
But he still lowered his voice, almost squeezing it out from his throat: "Lu Jin and I will figure something out."
The air was as heavy as a stagnant pool.
Sang Li narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile still playing on her lips, and sighed.
She looked at him as if he were a stranger.
Bai Heng wanted to reach out and touch her, but he was afraid she would tell him that he was no longer worthy, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart.
He understood that all he could hold onto was his bottom line.
The clearer the bottom line is, the clearer the distance between them becomes.
Sudden.
Sang Li smiled.
Sang Li curled her lips into a smile, her laughter overflowing like shards of glass gleaming coldly in the night.
"I don't want to make a wasted trip."
Before the words had completely faded, Bai Heng felt the bed sheet sink slightly.
His figure leaned forward with remarkable naturalness, like a hunter calmly approaching its prey.
The next second.
Her body pressed against Bai Heng's back, so soft it felt like a dream, trapping him within it.
Bai Heng was taken aback when Sang Li suddenly lunged at him. He trembled and exclaimed, "Sang Li!"
"I'm here."
Her arm wrapped around his shoulder, her fingertips slowly brushing against his collarbone, the cool touch like a tongue of fire licking straight into the depths of his nerves.
She turned her face to the side, her breath brushing against his neck, spreading inch by inch.
Unstoppable.
Sang Li didn't care at all what Bai Heng had just said: "I bit you."
The sound was like a needle, light and weak, yet it sent a shiver down one's spine.
"Don't you know my abilities?" She approached slowly, like a venomous snake in the sea. "However, I know them much better than you do."
"You—" Bai Heng gasped, he hadn't expected Sang Li to threaten him.
How am I?
Sang Li countered with a question.
The scorching heat was almost frightening.
"Don't do that."
Bai Heng felt somewhat powerless.
Sang Li raised an eyebrow: "I am indeed a willful person."
The final note rises softly, like a spring vine.
The hook trembled.
Bai Heng's breathing became disordered, and heat quickly spread from his heart, engulfing his entire body.
The injection was now useless; the suppressed urge within him was slowly breaking free.
A thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead, and his knuckles clenched tightly, as if he were grasping at the last straw of reason.
He knew he was being pulled along and was about to fall, but he wouldn't allow it.
Sang Li was almost right next to his ear, her breath warm and making his heart flutter.
"Then I'll kiss you," she coaxed softly, "and then you'll tell me, okay?"
Bai Heng's nerves suddenly tightened.
What nonsense!
What are you saying!
In that instant of agreement, he almost collapsed, his body instinctively wanting to move towards her.
"Enough!"
He shoved Sang Li away abruptly, his voice more urgent than he had expected, a complex light swirling in his eyes, "What do you take me for?"
The two distanced themselves from each other.
Sang Li swayed slightly from the push, but showed no sign of frustration.
She looked at Bai Heng quietly, her eyes clear and indifferent.
“Treat them like men,” she said softly. “Men, you know, tend to think with their lower bodies, but it seems intellectuals don’t.”
There was no shame.
Not cute either.
That tone was condescending.
“I still think we're friends,” Sang Li said. “Aren't you going to help me?”
She wasn't going to do anything terribly wrong.
But she needs to know BEAM's internal information, which Lu Jin cannot obtain, but Bai Heng can.
Although she didn't like Bai Heng's assumptions about her.
But what if they can't be friends in the future?
It's better to be more decisive then.
She supported herself on her knees, leaned slightly forward, held onto the bed with one hand, and slowly closed her eyes.
Then, raise your hand.
Strength is gathering.
The pale fingertips curled slightly, as if gathering some kind of invisible storm.
The next instant, Sang Li's blood flow accelerated, as if driven by some kind of gravity, frantically converging towards some unknown vortex.
It is expanding.
It's spreading.
Everything seemed to be concentrated at her fingertips.
Bai Heng was also suddenly stunned.
The blood in my chest began to boil uncontrollably, rushing so fast it almost tore my blood vessels apart.
A wave of heat swept over his body, making him breathe heavily, and it felt as if a raging fire was burning beneath his skin.
Even more terrifying is that the chaotic blood carries with it some kind of primal desire.
That yearning for madness and nakedness shattered all the dams of reason he had built.
Cold sweat slid down Bai Heng's back. He was almost overwhelmed by the uncontrollable desire within him, and he felt like he was suffocating.
Sang Li kept her eyes closed, a half-smile playing on her lips.
Like a fox, alluring and captivating.
Bai Heng's breathing became erratic, his chest heaved violently, and his throat grew increasingly dry.
“Sang Li,” he said almost hoarsely, his voice trembling uncontrollably, “you’re in too much danger.”
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she did not respond.
Sang Li could hear Bai Heng's breathing becoming heavier and heavier, as if he were fighting against an unseen torrent.
"Don't use your abnormal abilities... to control me..."
His voice was pleading, and also angry.
"Your body can't support that."
She still didn't look at him, her fingers tightening little by little, the blood roaring in her palms as if it were tearing her apart.
Bai Heng's heart suddenly clenched.
“You won’t give it to me,” she suddenly interrupted him, her voice cold and hard, like a blade lightly grazing his skin, “I just hate you.”
That statement was more deadly than any ability.
Bai Heng felt as if his heart had been suddenly pierced by a sharp, blunt instrument; a dull pain surged up, making him forget to breathe for a moment.
His lips were pressed tightly together.
"Don't you want it?" Sang Li suddenly looked up, his dark eyes shining brightly, like flames burning straight into his depths.
Bai Heng gritted his teeth, letting out a near-roaring gasp.
He knew.
Her power has changed; it is now more dangerous and deadly than before.
His blood and desires, like a wild beast, shattered all reason.
If he goes any further, he will lose his position.
but.
The next second.
He lunged forward, desperately tearing away the last veil of despair.
