I guess this is definitely not the antidote?

I guess this is definitely not the antidote.

Two different voices, ambiguous and unclear at this moment, the voice of Chen Siyao's speech trembled at a frequency similar to the trembling of her eyelashes.

Zhao Yulin couldn't find the words to describe his mood at the moment, and murmured: "You guessed right, but it doesn't seem worth congratulating."

Chen Siyao suddenly changed the subject and stopped talking about the dazzling metal object on the coffee table. She sniffed and said: "You are not simple. I thought so when you killed people with coins. People like you who are not simple often have a lot of stories."

"Do you want to hear a story?" Zhao Yulin raised his eyebrows.

"No."

Chen Siyao denied.

"We policemen must be prepared to face accidents and die at any time. I have that too, but when the Grim Reaper's gun is pointed at my head, I try to convince myself that I'm not afraid, but I still feel scared."

"The Grim Reaper uses a sickle," Zhao Yulin corrected.

Chen Siyao tried to raise his hands and wanted to hit him, but his hands were so heavy that he couldn't move them at all. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated: "Even if you are a jerk, you will definitely not fight back if I hit you now. I can't even grasp such a good opportunity. It's really fucking infuriating~"

Zhao Yulin looked at the floor, which was mopped very clean and smooth.

"Are you afraid?"

"What about you? When you are about to die, will you feel afraid? Or unwilling or something like that?"

"At least I'm not in the mood to listen to stories."

"Me too."

"So what do you want to ask?" Zhao Yulin moved his eyes from the floor to his side. Chen Siyao had changed from sitting to lying, slumped on the sofa.

Talking took up too much of her energy.

"I want to know your identity, not your age, gender or origin." Chen Siyao's tone sounded drowsy.

But she seemed very curious and kept talking.

"Are you a disciple of a hidden master, or a special person in the dark world? Like the Black Widow, a very powerful killer?"

Zhao Yulin held her hand, felt her pulse, and confirmed that the poison in her body had not erupted and she would not die prematurely.

"Don't worry about telling me. I'm going to die soon anyway. The dead are the best at keeping secrets."

"Even if I'm lucky enough not to die, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Zhao Yulin smiled and said, "I've heard many people say that women have terrifyingly accurate intuition and a strong gossiping mentality. It's true."

Chen Siyao's weak voice was actually mixed with excitement: "I guessed right. Are you a master's apprentice or a killer?"

"The former is, but the latter is not."

Zhao Yulin said softly: "The job content of a killer is only killing, not protection. I'm protecting Sun Leling now, so I'm a hired mercenary."

...

...

I'm most afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet.

Chen Siyao didn't speak again for a long time.

Zhao Yulin hesitated for a moment and decided to carry her to the bed, but when he was about to get up, the soft voice sounded again.

"What is that thing used for?"

"Help me die comfortably?"

She didn't point to a certain place, but Zhao Yulin knew what she was asking.

"Two years ago, one of my brothers was poisoned by the Black Widow and died. After that, I had people extract the toxin from his blood and conduct analysis and research. It took a lot of effort, and now we have this drug, which we call Agent No. 3."

"Then what are Agent No. 1 and Agent No. 2?"

"Don't interrupt! You're almost dead, how come you don't have any idea?"

"If you continue to be mean to me, I'll bite you to death before I die!"

Chen Siyao struggled to get up and resist, but Zhao Yulin grabbed her head with a simple and rough move.

"Medicine No. 3 has a detoxifying effect, but it has only been tested on animals before, and has never been tested on humans, so the risk factor is very high. In other words, you are the first living human subject of this medicine."

"I tell you frankly, I have no confidence that this medicine can work on you. But now it is the only thing you can count on. As of now, you have a little more than two and a half days left. Unless God doesn't let you die, there is no other possibility."

Zhao Yulin's hand was still on Chen Siyao's face, and suddenly a warm and moist touch came from his palm.

After all, she is a girl, a girl in the prime of youth.

She finally shed tears.

Death in an instant is not scary. What is scary is that it casts an lingering shadow over your heart and soul in a very real form.

It doesn't even give you too much time to bear it. You only know that death will come soon, but you can't resist it.

Zhao Yulin felt that his words at this moment were too cruel. He had no choice but to continue to be cruel.

"The failure rate is about 60%. If you succeed, you will recover quickly and your body functions will return to normal within two weeks. If you fail, you will die on the spot, without even two and a half days left, and it will be a very painful death."

"Of course, you can wait until the time is almost up, but in that case, the failure rate will rise to 80%."

"Whether to gamble or not depends on your decision."

...

...

Yes, the air fell into silence again.

As heavy as a pile of shit.

The moonlight outside the window was buried by the dark clouds floating in from the north, and it was no longer bright. As a ray of light came from the sky, thunder suddenly sounded.

Soon after, raindrops fell as expected, hitting the glass windows of the small rental house. The sound of raindrops made people feel irritated.

The dew in the rainy season was still so heavy.

"I don't want to choose, you choose for me." Chen Siyao's words were accompanied by the sound of rain outside the window.

"You should decide your own destiny."

Zhao Yulin couldn't bear to refuse, so he made up his mind to refuse.

"People's lives are not decided by themselves."

Chen Siyao said something that didn't sound like she should say.

"I'm not qualified, and I don't want to."

Zhao Yulin explained the reason.

The soft lips in the palm of his hand moved, as if smiling. He didn't look at it, thinking that the smile was bitter and made his heart palpitate.

"You are a hired soldier, killing people without blinking an eye, so why bother about such a small matter? I dare not make a decision, afraid of losing myself. You are different. You hold other people's chips, and you don't lose whether you win or lose, so make this decision for me."

"Consider it as me begging you, no matter what the outcome is, it is my destiny."

Zhao Yulin was still hesitating.

"Just let me relax at this time. It can be regarded as a good thing you have done in your career of killing countless people. Whether I survive or die in the end, I will be grateful to you. Thank you."

...

...

Zhao Yulin has never heard many people say thank you to him in his life. Every time he heard these two words, it was definitely not a good thing.

Today, it seems that he has not escaped the curse of a bad guy.

"Okay, the request of a beautiful woman is always so hard to refuse."

Zhao Yulin breathed a sigh of relief, his tone was particularly relaxed.

"Thank you."

Hearing the crisp sound of metal objects rubbing and colliding with the glass tabletop, Chen Siyao knew that it was Zhao Yulin who picked up the No. 3 medicine and thanked him again.

She naturally didn't know that Zhao Yulin actually hated those two words, just as she didn't know that Zhao Yulin's brows were furrowed at this moment.

"If it hurts, you can bite me."

Zhao Yulin put his thumb to her lips, looking the gentlest in the past twenty years.

He had killed many people, but those dead souls did not entangle him to drive him to repent, because he did not think that killing people was much different from stepping on ants.

But why was it so hard this time?

"Chen Siyao, let me ask you, do you consider me a friend?"

Zhao Yulin's words seemed to come at an inappropriate time.

"Friends?"

Policewoman Chen, whose temper improved a lot when she was on the verge of death, was surprised, then thought about it, and finally answered seriously: "I think you are a very annoying person, your words and deeds are particularly abnormal, I don't like you. But I hate you so much, but the relationship between the two of us has not deteriorated to the point of being irreparable, so we should be considered friends, although it is still far from the level of being open-hearted."

"So you mean, we are friends." Zhao Yulin was a little unsure of what she meant.

"Really?" Chen Siyao was not very sure, "At least I won't really hurt you, and you don't seem to have any ill intentions towards me. A friendship as pure as water is still a friendship..."

Zhao Yulin's eyes lit up, and he finally knew why he couldn't bear it - it was because of this sentence! He has killed at least 800 people, if not a thousand, but he has never killed his own people.

A friend as close as water is still a friend. Although this friendship is still shallow, it does not contain the violence on the battlefield and the vulgar utilitarianism.

He is very confident in Chen Siyao's character, and Chen Siyao does not question his goodness or evil. Just based on this point, he can trust his back to the other party when facing danger.

"I think, if I am lucky enough not to die tonight, then we will become true friends. After all, we are friends of life and death."

Chen Siyao's breath became weaker and weaker, and she said with difficulty: "How about it, am I very mighty and domineering?"

"I understand, bear the pain."

Zhao Yulin pushed lightly with his right thumb, and a thin needle tip emerged from the front end of the small metal tube. Then, his index finger, with a strange heat, scraped across the skin at the bend of Chen Siyao's arm, and the originally shriveled and contracted blood vessels soon became clearly visible.

The needle pierced the skin and entered the vein, and the medicine was injected.

These were very simple movements, but Zhao Yulin completed them as if walking on thin ice. Fortunately, he was skilled, and the whole process was smooth without any deviation or mistake.

Then, it was an anxious wait.

Zhao Yulin chose to take the risk for Chen Siyao. If he gambled all in, there would be at least a 40% chance of success. If he didn't gamble, he would have to wait to die.

He had already thought about it. If God didn't care and Chen Siyao died, then after catching the Black Widow, that woman would definitely not die peacefully.

Even though he knew in his heart that Black Widow was just taking money to help people eliminate disasters, so what?

The three accounts can only be settled by killing them all. Everyone involved, the knife-wielder, the instigator, the front and backstage must be killed!

Revenge must be taken, and the entire clan must be implicated -

sitting on the sofa, Zhao Yulin calmly added a new killing creed to himself.
