Chapter 42 Refusing Injections
The next day, at 2:50 PM.
A four-seater sightseeing vehicle drove up from a distance and stopped ten meters away from the wall. The door opened, and one person got off.
Li Nai glanced at the time on the electronic screen behind the car seat and walked to the elevator entrance on the high wall.
The iron gate was tightly closed.
After a while, ding! The elevator doors slowly opened. The elevator was empty.
Are they already up there?
She walked in with doubt in her heart.
The elevator doors closed, the top floor button lit up, and with a hum, it took her up.
The door opened again, revealing Lin Jingru standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, wearing headphones on her head and waving her hands.
"I'm here." She walked over to her side.
Lin Jingru didn't move an inch, holding her phone, completely absorbed in the shooting game.
"Hello!" He leaned closer to make his presence known, glancing casually at his phone screen. The teammate names on the left were all the same, which was a bit funny—"Young Lady's Subordinate 1, Subordinate 2, Subordinate 3."
Blink! It seems that being a subordinate also requires playing games.
Tsk tsk.
The game suddenly ended, and the phone screen went black.
She could feel someone watching her.
His gaze slowly met the cold stare cast from above.
He consciously stepped back two steps.
He bowed his head faithfully and said, "Young Miss, I've arrived."
A cold gaze swept over him.
"Just kidding." She looked up with a bright smile. "Any good news from Dr. Ji?"
"No."
Lin Jingru's gaze shifted as she looked her up and down, her dark eyes unfathomable. There was suspicion, and disdain.
Suddenly she whispered, "No matter how hard I try to look, I can't see what's so attractive about it that makes me reluctant to let go."
Her ears twitched, and she issued a warning.
"Don't think I didn't hear you. You can't command people, so you blame it on me. What a future heir! How nice that sounds! Tsk tsk, look at him, look at him, where is the demeanor of a future big boss?"
He raised his hand and pointed at Lin Jingru's pointed nose.
His phoenix eyes narrowed suddenly. He snatched her wrist, ignoring her struggles, and looked down to examine the needle mark closely. The skin around it was half purple and half yellow.
The next second, the hand on her wrist loosened.
She checked her hand and saw a red ring around her wrist. She felt a sense of relief; she had thought someone was about to hit her.
He muttered under his breath, "What a violent woman."
"Don't give her any more injections."
ah?
She looked at Lin Jingru strangely.
“When I talked to her about you yesterday, I saw some of the potions that were developed that day. I checked the files. She’s using you as a guinea pig.”
After listening, a wave of dizziness washed over me, and I slumped forward.
He held her arms with both hands.
She slowly opened her eyes. "Thank you."
Lin Jingru's brows furrowed with worry.
"No wonder I've been feeling dizzy and weak these past few days. It turns out there was something wrong with the injection I got."
She didn't mention another point: the repair progress kept fluctuating around 70%. Suddenly, I remembered the recovery rate I'd specifically noted yesterday: 80%.
[The machine repair is 72% complete; 100% complete repair will take another 5.3 days.]
My heart suddenly felt heavy.
The hands on the arms came off.
Lin Jingru: "There's only one way now."
"What is it!"
"Your abilities."
His slightly bright eyes lowered.
Lin Jingru continued, "Although I don't fully understand your greatest strength, I believe it's enough to get you over here."
Facing out the glass, on the vast black and yellow earth, there are mutated animals everywhere.
"Once you reach that final barrier, my men will meet you and work together to break through a door."
The silvery-white "long snake" has no visible head or tail.
Li Nai withdrew her gaze. She hesitated, wondering whether to reveal that her abilities were restricted.
"What? You can't do it?"
The cold tone carried a hint of provocation.
I sighed deeply; leaving this place was the most important thing.
"Of course I can do it. It's just that my body hasn't been fully repaired yet."
Lin Jingru frowned, then instantly understood: "Caused by the injection?"
She nodded her head slowly. "It's restricting my repair. And what can I do to stop Dr. Ji from giving me these medications? If her goal is to restrict me."
Seeing Lin Jingru deep in thought, she remained silent, also pondering how to formulate a convincing reason.
The silent corridor was suddenly punctuated by a cell phone notification ringtone.
Lin Jingru picked up her phone and glanced at her sideways.
"G management is asking about you."
They panicked, like startled rabbits. They looked around for surveillance cameras in the corners of the passageway.
"There is surveillance."
! . !
"I've blocked it."
~、~
"Hmph." A hint of amusement cracked across his cold face, vanishing in an instant. The speed was so fast it seemed like an illusion.
She glanced at the other person's face and mouth a few more times, only to be glared back at fiercely.
Fearing that Ji Fenglan would send machines to search this place, the two exchanged a few key points and then quickly parted ways.
...
Another day, the same time, the same place, the same cajoling words.
"It's time for a shot! It's time for a shot! The shot went by so quickly!"
Li Nai stared blankly at the little robot, which was different from yesterday. Its head was now round, with an exaggerated pink bow on its head, two blushes on its cheeks, and a cheerful little mouth smiling.
It's so cute and funny.
Today, the last interjection in the coaxing of animals came out smoothly, and combined with the cute appearance, it had a unique charm. If I didn't already know the purpose behind the injection, I almost reached out my arm.
Not seeing an arm for a long time, the round head raised, blinking its electronic eyes, seeking an answer.
"I don't want to play today."
"No, you need a shot to get better faster."
She lay back down on the bed and turned her face away from it.
The robot's wheels slid, and it circled the bed until it was in front of her face.
She turned her face away again, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "I'm so tired today, let's do it tomorrow."
Seeing her firm attitude, the little robot lowered its round head, and its large bow also looked listless.
Then, with a turn, the wheels rolled away.
On the bed, she loosened her crossed arms and placed them on either side.
Staring at the pristine white ceiling.
She finally got through one injection. Once she reaches 80%, the repair speed will double. Two more injections, and then she can refuse two more, and she can leave this place.
My ears twitched, and someone came in wearing low heels.
A faintly scented disinfectant wafted towards me.
My hand by the bed trembled.
Dr. Ji came into view, his gentle amber eyes looking down at her with pity.
"Where do you feel unwell?"
Dry, slightly cool hands touched and pressed on her body.
"My arm hurts."
“Your arm?” He lifted her arm.
"...Hmm, maybe I've been getting injections too frequently. I feel sore and weak, and this color looks scary. Dr. Ji, could I get an injection every few days?"
As he spoke, he carefully observed the other person's serious expression.
"Okay. Where did you go yesterday?" Ji Fenglan didn't lift his head; his gaze remained fixed on her arm.
"Huh?" Her eyes darted around in a panic. "Yesterday? At the zoo. I was bored and just played with the animals to kill some time."
"Are you alone?" He suddenly looked at her, and under the light, the two lenses of her glasses reflected the light.
She swallowed hard and nodded. "Alone."
Ji Fenglan's eyes curved into a smile, half-concealing her gaze, making it impossible to discern the emotions contained within.
"You'll be too lonely. I'll go with you next time."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Ji Fenglan moved his hand to her jawline, his fingers touching the area where her ear met her neck.
She thought it meant she needed to check it again and didn't take it seriously.
The woman suddenly leaned down, their faces very close together.
"Did you know that Lin Jingru is leaving tonight?"
What?! Eyes widened.
I've never heard her mention that.
What does that mean? Abandoning their companions and running away overnight?
Lost in thought, she didn't notice the beautiful face right in front of her and smiled slightly.
My neck felt cold; a needle was inserted.
"Get a good night's sleep."
Ji Fenglan's face gradually blurred.
Oh no, this is terrible...
...
Consciousness drifted out of a hazy, dazed state.
Open your eyes.
A bright spotlight suddenly pierced her eyes, and she quickly turned her head away, closed her eyelids, and after adjusting to the brightness, slowly opened her eyes halfway.
Through the slits of his eyes, his bright brown pupils moved slowly back and forth.
The more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
Why!
Isn't this the second room she's been detained in since she arrived here?
In the struggle, she felt light and airy with nothing clinging to her body, her legs spread wide, and a cool breeze blowing down on her.
I don't feel well.
Looking down, I saw my naked body.
This time, however, there was no plastic wrap; instead, the skin was completely wet, with water droplets shimmering with a dazzling glow.
She shook her bound limbs. She was unaware of how alluring and arousing her swaying, curly flesh appeared from a third-person perspective.
Squinting, I looked around. Outside the light, all I saw was darkness, as thick as ink. Perhaps it was because the light had been too bright for too long, but I could vaguely see some shadows drifting in the darkness.
"Is anyone home? Why am I locked up?!"
He screamed until his throat was hoarse, but no one came out.
She had no idea what Dr. Ji was going to do to her.
Amidst widespread anxiety and unease.
Thud!
The sound of wheat flowing is sizzling.
"Li Nai, isn't it better to stay here?"
Dr. Ji's voice echoed throughout the space.
Beneath the wary gaze lies a suppressed anxiety.
"Why are you locking me up? Even if I leave here, it's my freedom to do so."
The wheat was suddenly cut off.
A moment of silence.
A figure emerged from the edge of darkness, carrying a glass bottle. The bottle reflected a dazzling light, obscuring its contents and Ji Fenglan's expression.
"Because I'm very interested in your body."
Is this reasoning definitely valid?
This scene, these words, sound like Fifty Shades of Grey is about to begin. (Squeezing in failed.)
"Leaving here is not out of the question."
Then the conversation shifted.
"On the condition that I have a good time."
"Enjoy yourself? What do you want to do to me?"
The woman smiled, "Don't worry, I just need you to help me improve my level of body art."
The body trembled. That sounds nice.
"Oh, there's something I need to remind you. If you don't satisfy me, I'll be very sad and angry."
He held out the glass bottle he was holding to show her; a bloody heart was beating slightly, as if it had just been picked.
"This is what happens."
Her eyes widened, and her legs trembled.
Ji Fenglan moved closer to her lower body, and the light illuminated her figure.
Her slightly wavy, chunky black hair looked excessively messy; her shirt collar was unbuttoned, revealing her collarbone and a deep cleavage. Her elegant, intellectual glasses were gone, and her dreamy, languid amber eyes were veiled in a thin mist. She looked almost too comfortable.
Looks like... he just had sex.
His alluring, deadly amber eyes lightly touched her, and she looked away as if stung.
Look at the heart inside the glass bottle.
"Why does the owner of the heart..."
"Her? A woman who took the initiative to provoke me. She was, in a way, my mentor."
Gently tapping the glass bottle is like greeting one's heart.
"Do you mind if I tell you a story?"
If you mind, would you not say anything?
"This story is from a long time ago, probably when I was 13 years old."
Oh, that's been a long time.
"Li Yan, that's her name. A woman who's two-faced, whose slightest hint of 'friendliness' can be addictive. She's the nanny my parents hired to take care of my daily needs. Interested in knowing more about my parents?"
Whatever, can she really refuse?
"Both of them are excellent zoologists who love exploring unknown areas in the wild. So, they are rarely at home. From childhood to adulthood, they have had dozens of nannies, some old and some young, some ugly and some beautiful, some rigid and some lively. Li Yan was the prettiest and most interesting of them all, but unfortunately, she couldn't withstand the pressure. She was too self-important. Isn't that right?"
He held the glass bottle high and gently tapped his finger against his heart.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Ji Fenglan's delicate, rosy lips curved into a smile, as if she had been amused.
“I really admire her. She has a rich imagination, unique teaching methods, and is patient and engaging. If she doesn't underestimate me and keeps up with me, most importantly…”
Ji Fenglan suddenly moved closer, his nose almost brushing against her belly button from below.
Wherever it passed, a dense, stinging pain was felt, and something slowly flowed down.
She looked down and saw a thin crack in her lower abdomen, from which blood was flowing out.
"...It won't break if you play with it."
*Smash!*
The glass bottle shattered.
The soaking liquid splashed all over the floor, and my slightly beating heart was trampled under the high heels of the shoes.
"Now, I've found someone I can always have fun with."
Ji Fenglan stared intently at her, her reserved and intellectual demeanor vanishing, revealing her true colors.
The heel ground hard against his heart, and blood gushed out in spurts, making a gurgling sound.
Imprisonment! Decay! Pleasure!
Fifty Shades of Grey's sister, Fifty Shades of Darker has officially begun!
Li Nai suddenly felt dizzy and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
...
It was late at night.
A door opened and then closed again.
Rolling around, rolling around.
The little robot stopped at the boundary between light and darkness.
With its three claws spread open, it aims at a human body not far away, and a needle protrudes out.
Whoosh!
The needle was inserted into the neck, and the purple medicine inside the syringe was instantly injected.
After doing everything, they silently disappeared into the shadows, the door opening and closing again.

His eyelids twitched, then he suddenly opened them.
