Chapter 42
Lan Yexing stared at him for a long while, blushing and whispering, "Okay."
Qiao You smiled and looked at him, his green eyes shining frighteningly bright.
Lan Yexing couldn't stand being stared at, so he looked away, walked a few steps to the clothes rack, and put on the clothes that Qiao You had taken off last night, one by one.
Qiao You's eyes were still following him closely, but just as he was about to take a step, Lan Yexing, who had her back to him, spoke in an angry voice: "Hey, stop it, don't come over here!"
There are morning classes later! No time for rambling!
And it’s really weird to be doing this in someone else’s office!
Qiao You raised his eyebrows when he heard that, a bit of careless regret appeared on his face, but he still stopped obediently and scanned the boy's body inch by inch with a revealing gaze that seemed to strip him naked.
Lan Yexing's body temperature rose inch by inch as he clearly felt that gaze. He sighed softly and didn't say anything. He just put on his clothes neatly and took Qiao You to the bathroom in Yang Qing's office to wash up.
Afterwards, he left a note to express his gratitude to Yang Qing, and allowed Qiao You to use his mental power to take him away from the school hospital.
Before they parted, Lan Yexing used his cell phone to pull up Qiao You's class schedule and school map, and asked him to go to class at the time and place indicated on the map. After telling him where his dormitory was, he carefully told him what his daily schedule was like before he lost his memory based on his own memory.
Finally, he stroked the young man's handsome face and said softly, "If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Your situation is special now, so don't hide anything from me. I'll go to your place for lunch at noon."
Qiao You looked at him with a smile, like an overly tame dragon at this moment, and said, "Okay."
Only then did Lan Yexing leave with peace of mind.
It was not until he sat in the classroom of his major that he put on a serious and solemn expression and began to sort out the confusing information.
The first thing that popped into my mind was: Song Wen is really too dangerous - whether it is his clone or his original self.
Moreover, he could almost confirm that Song Wen was related to the death of Qiao You's parents. Qiao You was essentially a very arrogant person, with a rough and direct style of doing things. Not only was he obsessed with cleanliness in his life, but he was also obsessed with cleanliness in his interpersonal relationships to the point of being arrogant. If he had not been sure that his enemy was Song Wen, he would never have taken such a roundabout way to contact Lin Qian to bring out Song Wen.
Lan Yexing frowned:
Xiao Song said that he has now been transferred to the school as an administrative teacher, and one of the tasks added to him by the host is to assist Song Wen.
Song Wen should contact him later, so, will the person who contacts him be Song Wen's clone or the real person?
If that administrative teacher is still a clone, what method can he come up with to help Qiao You lure out the real body...
He would never let Qiao You face such a terrible person alone.
At this time, the watch face on Lan Yexing's right wrist lit up quietly. It was still early, and there was no one else in this classroom without surveillance except Lan Yexing. The system was about to say something, but Lan Yexing's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting it, and the sound was particularly harsh in the quiet classroom.
Lan Yexing, who was lost in thought, came to his senses immediately and answered the strange phone call neatly.
A strange voice that made people feel uncomfortable rang in their ears. It was mechanical and rough, as if a non-human creature was imitating human speech: "Lan Yexing, go to Office 304 of the school administration building immediately. I have a task for you."
Lan Yexing’s pupils shrank: It’s “Song Wen”.
Because the voice and tone were exactly the same as those of the clone who had died last night, so weird that it made people's scalps tingle.
He was thinking about something, a chill appeared in his light-colored pupils, and he said in a cold voice: "Okay."
After saying that, he stood up, put his professional courses behind him, and strode out.
…
In Room 304 of the administrative building, Lan Yexing sat in front of his desk with an expressionless face. The alpha with an ugly thumb-sized mole on the nose opposite him mechanically and coldly pushed a silver box containing an injection in front of Lan Yexing.
Lan Yexing was tense and alert. He carefully observed the man opposite him. The man's voice tone and the mechanical expression on his face, as if he had not received any social training, were almost exactly the same as the clone last night.
In other words, the other party is most likely a clone.
Lan Yexing glanced at the injection on the table and asked calmly: "What is this?"
"Song Wen": "Your task is to either push this needle into your own body or into Qiao You's body. Its name is [Withdrawal Needle]."
Lan Yexing's breathing stagnated, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide: Qiao You had demonstrated his mental power in front of him more than once. Before he lost his memory, Qiao You once told him that his mental power was [Withdrawal]...
【Withdrawal Needle】, what is that…and what does it have to do with Qiao You?
Lan Yexing looked at the other person with an extremely cold expression, and a rare glimpse of terrifying hostility leaked out from his light-colored pupils.
Electricity was already flowing through his arms: he didn't care about the electric shock punishment, he would not complete this task, and he would use violence and force information directly now - you know, the clever use of electricity can actually make people extremely painful, and no matter how twisted and terrible the ethical issues of cloning science are, no matter what mental power this clone has, it can't change one fact:
That is, clones are essentially human bodies.
As long as it is a human body, there is a limit to its tolerance for pain...
At this moment, Lan Yexing, who was cold and violent, looked like a real criminal. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and was about to take action -
The "Song Wen" in front of him suddenly froze mechanically for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became obscene and crazy, because the facial nerves were too active at this time, and the whole person looked like a fake person, terrifying and weird. He didn't know who he was imitating, just like the "Song Wen" imitating the king last night. He stared at Lan Yexing and grinned obscenely, "Hahaha, I only made one injection. In fact, I just need to order you to inject it into myself, but aren't you together?"
Song Wen stared at the boy almost madly: "The host gave His Majesty the King the message that you two are in love. So, will you choose to call him or yourself? It's interesting to see you make a painful choice, isn't it?"
He tilted his head into a strange arc, his left eye squinting as if imitating someone, and spoke nervously, "This injection is very precious. It is made by me using the cells of the most powerful psychic. It can completely extract the abstract existence of a person's love and memory. Lan Yexing, will you choose to lose your love and memory? Or will you choose to let him lose——"
“Sizzle——”
"Song Wen" was shocked by the strong electric current and let out a piercing scream, then fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.
Lan Yexing strode forward neatly and stepped on the alpha's chest with such force that the opponent's ribs made a creepy cracking sound. The electricity in his right arm surged outward again and pierced the alpha's vocal cords. The alpha's voice immediately became smaller, and he could only make a reluctant sound, crying out in pain mechanically and weirdly - this way, he would not attract the staff outside the office.
At this time, Lan Yexing stepped on the alpha and leaned over, looking at him expressionlessly, and whispered: "Have you ever heard of a saying? The better the temper and the better the image of a person, the more terrible they are when they torture others. Because they are not used to doing these things, they can't control the strength in their hands well, and it's easy to turn torture into murder..."
Lan Yexing's eyes were filled with a calm yet terrifying hostility: "We are both pawns of the person behind the scenes, and you are just a clone, but I should be much more important than you. Guess, if I torture you here, or even kill you by accident, who will the person behind the scenes protect?"
A distorted look of confusion appeared on the face of the clone who was nailed to the ground by the electric current, but instinctive fear slowly emerged from the depths of his pupils - any living creature, even an incomplete one that has been brainwashed, will be afraid when faced with imminent life and death.
Lan Yexing caught that trace of fear, stared at him, and continued: "I only ask you one question: How can I see your true form?"
"Song Wen", who had never received any social training and only knew how to [commit suicide], [obey orders] and [imitate], had no idea how to face and relieve his fear. He just wanted to scream, but his vocal cords were suppressed by the electricity. He gritted his teeth and said mechanically and maliciously: "Of all people, only your nature is completely recognized by the host. You are kind, so you will never torture or kill others. Hehe - if you have the ability, come on -"
Lan Yexing stared at the ugly alpha on the ground. Hearing this, his face turned pale and his expression became even colder. He felt his nerves stretched to the extreme. His voice was frighteningly deep: "Do you really think that I dare not get blood on my hands?"
The system said worriedly: "Host..."
Lan Yexing bit his lip hard, staring at the alpha with extreme coldness. As if he had made up his mind, he thrust his fingers full of electricity into the other's eyes fiercely, but in his light-colored eyes there was a strong resistance and disgust that almost made him sick.
…
At this time, outside the door, the staff were coming and going in the corridor, and they had no idea what was happening in the locked office from which faint sounds were coming.
The tall and handsome blond young man stood expressionlessly outside the closed door, a frighteningly cold red light surging in his green eyes.
During class, he spent a lot of effort to find a way to eavesdrop on and monitor Lan Yexing's cell phone. Before he lost his memory, he seemed to be afraid that the boy would find out, so he hid the method very deeply at first.
After figuring out the method, he put on headphones and listened to the boy's real-time voice while listening to the professor's lecture - he was so skilled at it, so he must have done this countless times before he lost his memory.
It was just strange that he heard Lan Yexing, who was supposed to be in the class, walking instead, and his breathing was more rapid than when he walked normally.
So he immediately called up all the replays of the audio after Lan Yexing separated from him in the morning, and then he heard the phone call.
Without any hesitation, he left the classroom in front of everyone.
Worried that something might happen to Lan Yexing, he used his mental power to come to the outside of the office.
When he came here, he vaguely heard the young man's extremely vicious words "bloodstained".
Within two or three seconds, the countless bad thoughts and terrible emotions surging in his chest were like countless demons, tempting him to the extreme: "Don't go in."
"After getting blood on him, he will become like you. Isn't that great?"
"He will understand you better, empathize with you more, and will be more dependent on you..."
"Make him dirty, hurt him, make him no longer pure, make him belong only to you. Anyway, no matter what he becomes, you will love him obsessively and madly, right?"
…
Those voices flowed through the young man's limbs and bones, luring him madly.
Qiao You's eyes were frighteningly bright, but he uttered an arrogant, cold, and disdainful chuckle - what a good and attractive idea...
The next moment, he bent his fingers without hesitation and used his mental power to enter the room.
At this moment, Lan Yexing had an expression on his face that made his heart ache immediately. He was stabbing his fingers full of electricity into the eyes of the alpha, whose expression had changed drastically and was full of fear. At that moment, the alpha almost said instinctively: "I say! I really don't know where he is exactly. I only know that he is hiding among us--"
Those two fingers were almost about to pierce into the alpha's eyes, and blood would be seen in the next moment——
Qiao You leaned over and hugged Lan Yexing from behind. He stretched out his strong arms and completely wrapped the boy's hand, which was still electrified, with a protective desire. His expression was hidden in his golden hair and could not be seen clearly. He just put his slightly cool lips to Lan Yexing's ear and said, "That's enough."
Lan Yexing's breathing stagnated and he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Qiao You continued in that hoarse yet pleasant voice: "Even if it's for me, it's enough." He knew that Lan Yexing would only do this for him.
But, enough is enough.
Lan Yexing shouldn't be involved in anything bloody and dirty.
The blond young man stood up holding Lan Yexing. With a soft "bang", he pressed the back of the boy's neck in his arms, turned him around, and pressed him into his arms with full protectiveness and possessiveness, tightly locking the boy's sight in his arms to prevent him from seeing anything dirty.
Qiao You used his big hands to gently stroke the stiff and thin back of the boy in his arms, comforting him. He smiled and nonchalantly questioned the boy's inexplicable strong desire to protect him despite his amnesia: "You told me to report everything to you, but you came here without telling me. This is not fair, isn't it, Xiaoxing?"
After saying this, without waiting for the other party to answer, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by an extremely cold and arrogant expression. He held Lan Yexing tightly, and slowly looked at the alpha who was crawling towards the door in a miserable state with a terrifying gaze as if he was looking at a dead person.
