Chapter 11: Flattering
Liquid was flowing down her face, and her eyes were blurry. She could vaguely see the figure of a man rushing towards her frantically.
Shen Sui'an felt that she had experienced this scene countless times.
"Sui Sui, don't sleep... Please, please... don't sleep..."
The man knelt on the ground, his hands stretched out in the air and trembling, wanting to touch but not daring to.
She was too fragile.
She was so fragile...
She was so fragile that she would break if touched.
"Sui Sui..."
Shen Sui'an wanted to respond to him, but it was extremely difficult to even move a finger. When he opened his mouth, blood flowed out.
The cold fingertips touched her cheeks, gently wiping the blood from her mouth, and then large drops of warm liquid hit her cheeks, which made her sober up a little.
"Sui Sui, the ambulance... is here... don't sleep... Sui Sui..."
The sobriety was short-lived, Shen Sui'an's consciousness gradually became blurred, and she heard intermittent words.
Then, her eyes went black and she lost consciousness completely.
People who died in a car accident don't even deserve to leave a will?
Unfortunately, she couldn't hear the answer.
**
"Xie Yubai! What are you doing?"
Shen Sui'an woke up slowly and heard Cen Xi yelling this sentence.
Hmm?
She's not dead?
She was in such a mess, how could she be rescued?
But why is it so dark around?
You can't see your hand in front of you, and there is only a light screen far away, emitting a faint light.
Is she conscious? But not physically?
So far, this is the most convincing explanation.
"Don't worry about these."
Hmm... it's her Xiaobai's voice.
"What do you mean I don't have to care..." Cen Xi said, "If it were you, I really wouldn't bother to care, but are you doing this to An An? Or do you think that now is the end of the world, there are no laws, no morals, you can marry another one?"
After a long silence, Cen Xi took a deep breath and spoke again: "Forget it, I don't object to this matter. After all, I don't ask you to spend the rest of your life alone for An An."
"Just don't notify me if there is news."
Shen Sui'an was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
The fragmented light in her wet almond eyes became dim.
It turned out that she was dreaming again.
Is it a last gasp?
Or...?
【Are you Shen Sui'an? 】
The cold electronic sound echoed in her ears, with human doubts.
"Didn't you bring me here?" Shen Sui'an smiled, "I thought you were omnipotent?"
The voice paused.
The surroundings suddenly lit up, but there was no light source.
A small ball of light flashed in front of Shen Sui'an, circling around her left and right.
Shen Sui'an didn't even blink, waiting quietly for the next words.
[How did you do it? ]
"Hmm?" Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
[You are dead, but the male protagonist still misses you for so long. Even if we erase your and his memories many times, he can still remember, and even...]
The voice stopped abruptly.
The ball of light jumped a few times and was muted.
"Why do I have to die?"
[It's set, there's no way to change it.]
Sounding helpless, Shen Sui'an smiled.
"Really?" She reached out and poked the light ball, and the light ball couldn't bear the weight and fell to one side.
[Oh my, why are you like this!]
"Since I have to die, can't you arrange another way for me to die, can't you let me do a few operations? At least, death is more valuable?"
"Although I'm not a good person, I'm not bad either. People have to die for a good reason, so that they won't live in vain."
The light ball seemed to be frightened by the bold words and fell into thought.
[It seems so...]
The next second, the light ball stretched out two hands and spread them helplessly.
[But you are dead now, you can't die for a good reason. 】
"..."
"So, what did you go to such great lengths to get me here for?"
Shen Sui'an looked around, and the light screen had disappeared, but she already had some guesses in her mind.
[How did you know it was me? ]
Shen Sui'an: "..."
Why does this ball feel so stupid.
[I'm not stupid! ]
"Can you hear my voice?"
[Hehehe╯^╰] The ball of light put his hands on his hips, [I am the main system of this world, I'm awesome. ]
Shen Sui'an looked lazy, yawned, and nodded lightly, "Oh."
[...]
How dare this human perfunctorily deal with it? ! !
Even if it was angry, it couldn't do anything to Shen Sui'an.
What's more, it has something to ask of others.
It coughed: [I can let you live, and then die a good death. ]
Shen Sui'an looked at it as if it were a fool, and refused decisively: "No!"
[Why? ]
"It's going to die anyway, so it's better to die now. As the saying goes, the sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn."
[No, this is not right. ]Guang Tuanzi scratched Guang's bald head with his hand, [You should agree. ]
Shen Sui'an: "I don't agree."
[Then how can you agree? ]
Shen Sui'an's eyes moved, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled cunningly: "I'll ask you a few questions."
[You ask. ]Guang Tuanzi straightened his chest, [There's nothing I don't know. ]
"In that case, then you tell me."
[What to say? 】Guang Tuanzi was dumbfounded.
"Didn't you say there was nothing you didn't know? Then you must know what I want to ask."
Guang Tuanzi fell silent again.
It seriously suspected that Shen Sui'an was deceiving it, but it could not find evidence.
【The world you are in is a pre-determined world, which is equivalent to the storybook you have there.
What about you? You are the male protagonist's white moonlight wife, but it's more tragic. You died at the beginning of the story... Oh, no, you didn't appear, but only appeared in the male protagonist's earliest memories. Later, the male protagonist also forgot about you. 】
Guang Tuanzi turned around in place and added, 【One clean. 】
Shen Sui'an: "..."
To be honest, she seriously suspected that this Guang Tuanzi was implying her.
Chapter 12 Ding! You have a resurrection card
【There is nothing special after that, just the sweet pet healing and redemption you like.
But now it is different. The hero seems to have awakened his self-awareness. Even under our interference, he still refuses to forget you.
Even the heroine has been killed by him several times. He has also committed suicide and destroyed himself. We have no choice but to select attackers from various small worlds to attack her, so that he can feel the meaning of his existence in the world.
As long as she succeeds in attacking the hero, she will be the heroine, and her request will be met.
But so far, it has already...】
"It has failed countless times." Shen Sui'an continued what it had not finished.
【How did you know again? 】
Guang Tuanzi couldn't believe it.
Shen Sui'an said "hmm" in a long tone, "Maybe I'm smart."
[......]
Shen Sui'an ignored it, bent her slender and beautiful fingers and supported her chin, and continued to speak: "So, this is not the first time I died, but you didn't care before, thinking that there was a bug, so you started to trace back to the past, but you didn't expect that you would fail every time."
"As for the reason for the failure, let me guess, either he died, or the world was destroyed."
Since the heroine can be changed, it means that only the hero is certain.
Shen Sui'an's eyes flickered.
So, the future Xie Yubai calculated that someone would not let him die, and then he started trying again and again, just to change her fate?
If she is still missing from the future world, it means that the attempt failed and the next one will be carried out.
Infinite loop.
And in the last dream, those corpses and that woman were the attackers?
Xie Yubai must have got the news from those attackers.
As for whether it is about the secret of this world, their identities, or the ability to go back to the past and change her fate, she doesn't know.
But it doesn't seem to be important.
"It" should be a system?
According to calculations, each attacker should have a system.
In this way, it makes sense.
"You have to come to me this time, it should be the last chance left."
Guang Tuanzi was shocked.
How can this human know everything?
Is it a bit too smart?
"If you fail again, you might disappear?" Shen Sui'an tapped his chin with his finger. "I'm not sure, but I'm sure that this world will disappear, and it will definitely affect you."
Guang Tuanzi swallowed his saliva and grumbled: [If you still don't succeed this time, you will never see him again. ]
The secret has been almost dissected by Shen Sui'an. It feels that if Shen Sui'an continues to talk, it will be finished!
Shen Sui'an looked at it.
Guang Tuanzi was frightened in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface. He looked at it hard.
No!
It didn't generate eyes this time.
Because it heard from other systems that in the human world, eyes are windows to the soul, and some people can get more information by looking at each other.
At this time, it was extremely lucky that it didn't give itself eyes.
Otherwise, it would be terrible.
"Then I'll disappear."
[Eh~]
This is different from what I thought.
[No, no, no. ]
"Then tell me, you went to such great lengths to kill me, and then you asked me to go back, why should I listen to you?
I was hit by a car! I was hit by a car!! Do you know how painful it was? My body was torn apart, and my bones were broken!
Also, what's the benefit of me going back?
Anyway, the end of the world will come in half a year, and I don't think I can hold on. Instead of turning into an ugly zombie, I might as well die now, at least someone will remember me."
Guang Tuanzi was completely confused.
When he came to his senses, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Shen Sui'an said.
[No, no, no. 】
It sorted out its thoughts and answered, [Your death was forced, and there are greater rules that constrain it. I can't change it.
There must be benefits to going back. I will follow you then. Moreover, you have a natural attraction to the male protagonist. Then you will definitely be the female protagonist, with the protagonist's halo, and you will definitely not die. 】
"Tell me first, what are the benefits?"
[Superpowers, you can have several more superpowers than others. 】
Guang Tuanzi was proud again.
This is all its power...
Uh, not all.
"Oh." Shen Sui'an's expression was still indifferent. She looked Guang Tuanzi up and down, with a hesitant look in her eyes, "You? Is it useful?"
There was a bit of disgust in her tone.
Guang Tuanzi immediately felt that she was insulted.
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.
[I am the main system of this world. I can help you crush some small systems, gain benefits for you, and provide you with some things that this world does not have...]
After a lot of talking, there are not many useful ones.
Shen Sui'an yawned again, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Guang Tuanzi: [...]
It has been the main system for so many years, and this is the first time it has seen a human who does not give it face!
In the past, when seeing it, did it not feel afraid or respectful?
The key is that this time it has to stick to her!
It's so irritating.
No, it's irritating the system.
"What is superpower?"
It was her turn to perform, Guang Tuanzi snorted, and began to introduce: [You didn't have superpowers before, but as the host of this master, you must not be too bad. 】
Shen Sui'an's almond eyes lit up, "Will there be space? Will there be thunder? Will there be fire? Will there be ice? Will there be healing? Will there be invisibility? Will there be..."
She said everything she could say, and then asked, "Or are you saying all of them?"
[People should not be too greedy. ] The light ball couldn't help but tremble.
It can say, doesn't it know?
"You can't be greedy." Shen Sui'an looked innocent, "But I'm not a human now."
[...]
Before it could say anything else, a large area of light came from afar, and the light ball exclaimed: [It's too late. ]
What's too late?
Shen Sui'an felt that his soul body quickly passed through one light screen after another, and in the front, there was a vortex.
[Superpowers are random. 】
After the light ball roared, it found that its body was also sucked in.
【! ! 】
It seemed to have forgotten...
It wanted to go in too!
An ancient, distant, and overwhelming voice came: [Wait until this world returns to order, then you can come back. 】
The light circle on the light ball shook outwards, knowing that it was wrong, it put away its usual unruly behavior, and hurriedly responded: [Okay, Lord God]
The vortex disappeared, and everything returned to peace.
Chapter 13 The third year of the apocalypse
The sky was dark, as if covered with a layer of gray cloth, and the storm was about to come.
The dilapidated streets, the ruins of the buildings, the corpses of all kinds, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The surroundings were so quiet that it was eerie, and occasionally there were bursts of "ho ho" sounds, which gave me goosebumps for no reason.
"There is a supermarket in front, there should be supplies, let's go in and take a look." The voice was deliberately lowered, but it was still clearly heard by everyone.
Behind the broken wall, a group of people gathered together, discussing how to obtain supplies without losing too many people.
"Why don't we think of a way to lure the zombies out of the supermarket, and take the opportunity to get supplies."
As soon as this idea came out, it immediately gained the support of most people.
As for fighting the zombies head-on...?
Impossible!
We don't know how many zombies there are in the supermarket, and they might die if we just fight them head-on.
They still have this self-awareness.
"Who will lure the zombies out?"
As soon as the words came out, the surroundings were quiet.
A group of people looked at each other.
Yes, who will lure the zombies out?
Although this is a method with the least damage, who doesn't want to live, and who wants to die?
Perhaps because they were too absorbed in thinking, no one noticed a figure that suddenly appeared at the end of the crowd.
Shen Sui'an looked around, then looked at the group of dusty people in front of him, was silent for a second, and asked in his heart: [Guang Tuanzi, what time is it now? ]
[Because of limited conditions, it has been three and a half years since you last appeared in this world. ]
In other words, it is now the third year of the apocalypse.
[Also, let me emphasize that my name is not Guang Tuanzi, my name is Tuntun. ]
Shen Sui'an ignored Tuntun's emphasis and prepared to leave here first.
Compared with a group of people, she still likes to act alone the most.
But——
"Hey, who is that, why are you leaving? Do you want to act alone?"
This sentence attracted everyone's attention.
Shen Sui'an couldn't help but hold his forehead.
But Tuntun excitedly said: [How is it? How is it? How is it that the protagonist is being paid special attention to? ]
"..."
The voice seemed to be squeezed out from the gap between teeth: [Very, very good! ]
It's very good.
In the mind, Tuntun jumped twice after being praised, and then put his hands on his waist, raised his head high, and looked quite proud.
"..."
Fortunately, Tuntun is not around now, otherwise Shen Sui'an would "friendly touch" its head.
Tuntun doesn't know what's going on in Shen Sui'an's heart, otherwise he would never say such a sentence even if he was beaten to death.
"You?" The captain looked at her suspiciously, "Are you from our team? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Compared to their wolves, Shen Sui'an was like a princess running out of a castle, out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Her chestnut-colored hair was scattered behind her head, and she wore an apricot-white mid-neck sweater with blue flared pants, and her white shoes were spotless.
Her wet almond eyes flashed with tiny starlight, like bright stars, clear and beautiful, with smooth and clear facial lines, fair skin, and bright red lips slightly pursed.
The surroundings were dilapidated, and she seemed to be the only light on this land.
Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
Since the end of the world, the living environment of human beings has been extremely harsh. Water resources are scarce, and there are zombies. People have to face life-threatening situations all the time. It is a problem to survive, not to mention dressing up.
Some people in the team reacted, frowned tightly, and their eyes showed different emotions, such as vigilance, unkindness, jealousy or greed.
Seeing this, the captain coughed twice and took a step forward, "This girl, how did you appear here?"
Before the action, he counted the number of people and did not see the beautiful girl who looked like a princess in front of him.
Shen Sui'an raised the corner of his eyes, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, tilted his head slightly, and said in a lazy and careless tone: "Passing by."
Passing by?
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not believing this statement.
"Passing by? Who are you fooling?" A woman who was dressed fairly neatly said "huh" and crossed her arms, "Do you think we are..."
"Are you alone?" The captain interrupted the woman and suggested, "Do you want to join us? There is strength in numbers."
Before Shen Sui'an refused, several people in the team refused.
"Captain, we don't have much supplies. If there are more people, I'm afraid..."
"Yes, captain, although we have a superpower like you in our team, if we really encounter zombies, I'm afraid it will be a burden for everyone if we bring a cute princess with us."
The tone was sinister.
The woman glanced at Shen Sui'an with a smug smile on her face.
Shen Sui'an was silent.
[Did I offend her? ]
Tuntun: [Probably... not. ]
The captain didn't speak in a hurry, and was making plans in his mind.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Sui'an saw that they were still preparing to say something, and stretched out his hand to make a pause, "Don't say anything first, I'll say it first."
"I don't think I said I want to join you, don't flatter yourself, as if I can't live without you."
She didn't think they were weak yet.
The woman blushed with anger and turned to complain to the captain, "Captain, look at her, you invited her out of kindness, but she doesn't take it seriously?"
Shen Sui'an rolled her eyes very elegantly, slowly patted the non-existent dust on her shoulders, and turned away without wasting any more words.
Instead of talking nonsense with this group of people here, she might as well explore the current situation and her undeveloped superpowers.
According to what the man just said, there don't seem to be many superpowers now.
The woman widened her eyes, and she never thought that Shen Sui'an would leave so resolutely.
Other teammates fell silent when they saw this.
People are for themselves, especially in the end times. Compared with kindness and conscience, for them, staying alive is the most important thing.
The captain looked at the girl's slender back with interest, touched his chin, and smiled meaningfully.
The reason he could become the captain was not only because of his identity as a superpower, but also because of his abilities.
He had a hunch that the girl was definitely not simple.
Chapter 14 Zombies appear
Shen Sui'an, who was a certain distance away from the team, never thought that someone would set their sights on her. If they knew, she would probably...
She didn't care.
"Tun... Tuanzi, can you come out?"
As soon as the voice fell, a light yellow dumpling with a halo appeared in front of her, but compared to the initial appearance, there was a green leaf-shaped hat on its head, and two eyes and a mouth.
It was so cute.
Shen Sui'an couldn't help but stretched out her finger and poked it.
Hmm...it feels good.
Tuntun circled around her twice, snorted arrogantly, [Why did you ask me to come out? ]
"Where is this?"
What can it do if it is asked to come out?
Of course, it was to prevent it from running away when she asked questions.
[Flower market.] Tuntun looked at her strangely, [Have you forgotten where you live?]
Shen Sui'an reached out and flicked its head, saying unhappily: "I don't know it after it becomes like this."
Tuntun's round body fell backwards, and he stretched out his hands to touch it, [Oh, oh, don't do anything to me.]
Does it have no face?
Although...
This is quite fun.
"Don't do these nonsense, hurry up, where is my superpower."
Now the danger is everywhere. Although she has learned some martial arts from Xie Yubai, she feels more at ease with an extra layer of protection.
[This... I don't know too much. 】
Because of its guilty conscience, its voice was several decibels lower than before.
"?"
"What does "not very clear" mean?"
[Not very clear means not knowing.] Tuntun lowered his head, [I told you in advance, superpowers are random.]
Shen Sui'an smiled, "I mean how to develop my superpowers?"
[... This, I...]
"You don't know this either?" Shen Sui'an glanced at it with disdain, "Then what do you know? What use do I have for you? "
Tuntun felt like he had received a hundred million points of spiritual crit, and he put his hands on his hips, [Who said I don't know.]
Shen Sui'an stared at it.
Tuntun felt guilty again, sweat dripping down his forehead, but he pretended to be calm and coughed, [Well, find a safe place to sit cross-legged, and then start meditating, and then, um...]
Under Shen Sui'an's gaze, he continued with a stiff upper lip, [Then you should know.]
Shen Sui'an's mouth twitched, "..."
Does she look so stupid?
The next second, her eyes turned cold, she reached out and grabbed Tuntun and started running.
"Hehe. "
The noise behind him was getting louder and louder. The two zombies must have sensed the breath of the living, and they became particularly excited.
Tuntun was suddenly pinched in the girl's palm. Stars were spinning on his head, and his eyes became like spinning mosquito coils, bouncing back and forth. He wanted to die.
[Let go~ I'm going to die~ The system~]
The trembling words dissipated in the air with the wind. Shen Sui'an didn't hear a word. He glanced back with the rest of his eyes, his scalp was numb, and he almost vomited the overnight meal.
The two zombies behind him, one had a severed stomach and intestines hanging out , swaying as he walked; the other one was missing an arm, a quarter of its head was missing, and an unknown liquid was flowing down its head. The scene looked so beautiful.
Their gray-white eyeballs were bulging, without pupils, their mouths were wide open, their teeth were uneven, and their colors were indescribably weird.
A pungent stench came over, and coupled with the hot wind that brushed his cheeks while running, Shen Sui'an was holding his breath until he almost passed out.
According to the time calculation, the weather should be cooler now...
"Hehe, hehe."
The unpleasant sound was getting closer and closer.
Shen Sui'an shook off the thoughts floating in his mind and shouted, "Tuanzi, get me a knife. "
【What? What did you say...?】
Tuntun's trembling voice came.
Shen Sui'an was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes to look at Tuntun's dizzy state, and said speechlessly: "You are dizzy?"
Tuntun no longer had the strength to answer her at this time.
Shen Sui'an was helpless. As expected, she was the only one she could rely on.
She quickly scanned the surroundings, her sight stopped at one place, her eyes lit up, her feet turned, and ran to the left.
There were several corpses piled up by the wall. I don't know if it was too lucky, one of the corpses had a kitchen knife stuck in it.
Although it looked dirty and blunt, it was better than nothing.
"Brother, can you lend me your kitchen knife? "
Pulling out the kitchen knife, Shen Sui'an stopped and looked warily at the two zombies rushing towards her.
"Tsk, so ugly! "
As a senior face control, looking at this picture is simply an insult to her eyes.
She took a deep breath and swung the knife neatly.
She remembered that the zombie in the dream died after its head was blown off...
As for Tuntun, Shen Sui'an had no pockets, so he threw it to a relatively clean place before taking action, leaving it lying on the ground doubting life... Oh no, system life.
"Puff——"
The not-so-sharp blade fiercely cut into the zombie that was missing 1/4 of its brain. Along with the sound, some liquid sprayed out. If Shen Sui'an hadn't dodged quickly, it would probably have been sprayed in the face.
Looking at the soft and fluffy zombie, After the body fell, Shen Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief and tightened her grip on the kitchen knife. The ugly face and the hand with long nails stretched out were reflected in her brown pupils.
Shen Sui'an turned sideways and swung the kitchen knife at the zombie's head. As if sensing the danger and reacting instinctively, the zombie turned around and grabbed her. The blade cut through its face without even breaking its skin.
Shen Sui'an's delicate eyebrows wrinkled, and there was no emotion on her palm-sized face. Her almond eyes sparkled with a cold light. She quickly dodged its attack and continued to swing the kitchen knife.
It must be a quick battle...
"Hehe! "
Shen Sui'an was annoyed when she heard this and wanted to kick it, but when she saw the hanging intestines, she gave up the idea.
However——
She turned her body flexibly, raised her foot and kicked the zombie's back hard. Taking advantage of the short time, Shen Sui'an directly stabbed the zombie's brain with a knife.
"Pu Tong——"
The tense nerves relaxed a little, raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and stopped abruptly when her eyes touched the dark red on her palm.
Such a world is indeed difficult for people with mysophobia to accept.
For example, she.
Chapter 15 An unexpected discovery
Looking at the mess around, Shen Sui'an felt a little weak in the knees.
Although she was so brave and fearless when killing zombies, she was actually scared to death in her heart, but in order to survive, she couldn't retreat.
"Are you feeling better?"
She paused for a while and asked Tuntun, who was carrying her and drawing circles on the ground.
[Woo, I want to complain to you. This is the first time I have seen a host like you, woo...]
"..."
Complain to her?
Shen Sui'an was full of questions.
"Why? I didn't ask you to kill these disgusting things."
[How dare you hold me and run around, don't you know that I can fly by myself? ]
Ah, this...
I really forgot.
I took it with me subconsciously when I ran.
[Also, you dared to throw me to the ground... You! You! I have never seen anyone like you...] Tuntun turned around and complained aggrievedly, [How can you treat the system like this? Woohoo... I want to go home...]
There is no need to worry about disturbing the zombies with its voice, because it is all echoing in Shen Sui'an's mind.
Shen Sui'an's eyelids twitched, "Wait!"
Tuntun looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"Correct it, it was you who insisted on following me in the beginning, it has nothing to do with me."
[...]
Tuntun really cried this time.
How could she be as dog-like as the Lord God? !
But it can't just throw the can away and walk away...
Shen Sui'an sighed, squatted down, poked its face with a clean finger, and coaxed: "Okay, this time it's my fault, I'll be more careful next time."
[Really? ] Tun Tun looked at her suspiciously, with a nasal voice.
Shen Sui'an laughed: "Really."
Tun Tun hummed, [Okay, I'll forgive you. ]
Hearing this, Shen Sui'an's smile deepened.
However, the sticky feeling on her hands made her frown not relax at all, "Tun Tun, wrap me a tissue, or turn into a bottle of water."
[I'm here, why do you need to be so troublesome. 】
Tuntun waved his claws, and his hand, which was stained with dark red blood, suddenly became clean and white, without any stains.
Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows, his eyes bright, "Great, can I do this in the future?"
[Don't even think about it, special skills, if they don't work, they will all be messed up. 】
Tuntun, who finally played a role, proudly put his hands on his waist, and all the embarrassment that just happened was thrown behind him, and he forgot it completely.
"Okay." Shen Sui'an didn't bother about this problem any more, "Anyway, I have you."
Free labor, don't waste it.
Tuntun didn't know what she was thinking, and thought he was indispensable, and turned around twice in excitement.
It's really strange. Before Shen Sui'an, it also followed a host, but the mood was completely different from now.
Shen Sui'an looked around and walked towards a house not far away.
When she reached the door, she stopped suddenly.
"Tuntun, how many zombies are there in there?"
Tuntun was still immersed in joy, [Not many, six. ]
Shen Sui'an's eyes twitched.
Six?
Not many?
She just dealt with two, if they were not incomplete, she doubted that she would not be able to hold on.
"Can you solve it?"
Tuntun regained his composure, stared at the closed door for two seconds, nodded and shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
[Those zombies are not a problem, it's just that this house is a little weird.]
"Weird?" Shen Sui'an became interested, "Is it a classic routine? Are there martial arts secrets in it? Or magic weapons? Or treasures?"
[I don't know about this. I only feel that there are five low-level zombies and one second-level zombie in it.]
Shen Sui'an paused, "There is also a second-level?"
[Well, so I suggest that you don't set foot here before you get superpowers. 】
Shen Sui'an's beautiful and slender fingers were bent and rubbed against his chin. There was a sense of pride and rebellion between his eyebrows. His bright red lips were slightly raised. His voice was slow and very pleasant: "Since that's what you said, then if you don't go in and take a look, wouldn't it be unfair for me to come here."
Tuntun looked as if it was "as expected".
【Then go ahead, I'll help you deal with those zombies. 】
After saying that, he caught a glimpse of Shen Sui'an's gaze, and he stepped back involuntarily, asking in horror, 【What are you doing? 】
"I just think that you have suddenly become mature and powerful." Shen Sui'an deliberately changed his tone to exaggerate it.
【I'm already very powerful, okay? 】The green leaf-shaped hat on its head waved excitedly.
A smile spread in Shen Sui'an's eyes. He reached out and touched the coolness between his wrist bones, and the smile faded a lot.
I don't know how he is now?
【He is the male protagonist of this world. He will not die without accidents. 】
"Really? Then why did he fail so many times before?"
【Who made him want to die and always think about suicide. 】
Every time he thought of this, Tuntun was angry.
Shen Sui'an touched the tip of his nose and pushed the door open. "Tell me if there is any news about him."
【I know. 】 Tuntun replied perfunctorily.
Although it is the main system of this world, its connection with this world is not deep.
Now that it has rushed in here, it has not had time to establish a connection.
No wonder Shen Sui'an didn't ask it...
Wait!
Tun Tun hurriedly flew to Shen Sui'an's side, [How did you know this again? ]
Is this man a monster?
"Maybe I'm too smart."
Tun Tun slowly uttered two words: [... I don't believe it. ]
Shen Sui'an shrugged casually, "There's nothing I can do about it, the facts are like this."
What is the truth?
Shen Sui'an didn't know either.
But she had a vague guess in her heart.
Maybe this world has been reborn too many times, and she is the source of everything, so some bugs have appeared.
But there is no need to say these.
"Hehe, hehe."
Looking at the zombies not far away that kept growling and warning at her, Shen Sui'an's eyes were full of amusement.
"Guess what's behind those zombies?"
Tuntun also became curious, [What are they guarding? ]
[But it shouldn't be, isn't the world of zombies full of tyranny? How can you understand this? ]
"Didn't you say there's a second-level zombie?"
But it's still not right...
It's making my head hurt.
Forget it, brain work is not suitable for me, I'd better just kill those zombies quietly.
Chapter 16 An unexpected surprise
The zombies were dealt with without much trouble, but for safety reasons, Shen Sui'an still let Tun Tun keep the second-level zombie.
High-level zombies have a shocking effect on low-level zombies, which is why there are so few zombies around.
Shen Sui'an searched the entire house, and if there was anything special, it was just one more second-level zombie than other places.
"Are you sure there is something strange about this place?"
Tun Tun was not sure now, [Could I have sensed it wrong? ]
Shen Sui'an was about to speak, but suddenly, she tilted her head and asked, "Did you hear a very strange sound?"
It sounded like a baby crying.
[I heard it. 】
Shen Sui'an narrowed his eyes and walked over with light steps.
It was an inconspicuous house, which was particularly inconspicuous compared to the surrounding environment.
Shen Sui'an put his hand on the door, and Tuntun sensed something and shouted: [Don't open it, it's...] a second-level mutant zombie!
"Ah roar——"
The sharp sound pierced the eardrum, making the person and the system dizzy instantly. Shen Sui'an's pupils reflected the small figure that rushed over. The speed was so fast that she subconsciously raised her arms to cover her face.
Tuntun subconsciously activated the skill, but the expected thing did not happen. The speed of the baby zombie was even faster.
Before it could think of any remedial measures, the baby zombie was only an arm's length away from Shen Sui'an.
Tun Tun was so scared that he closed his eyes, not daring to watch what was to come.
Just as the baby zombie's hand was about to touch Shen Sui'an, its body was suddenly wrapped in flames, and then it fell heavily to the ground and began to roll.
"Ahhhh——"
The mournful and sharp voice seemed to have endured great pain.
Shen Sui'an was stunned.
Tun Tun was also stunned.
The two of them stared at each other with incredible eyes.
"Superpower?" Shen Sui'an looked at his white and slender fingers, his almond eyes flashing with fragmented light.
Tuntun: [... Could it be that the body's protective mechanism triggered its potential in times of crisis? ]
Besides this explanation, it couldn't think of a better one.
Shen Sui'an thought of the second dream and stretched out his hand to snap his fingers.
"Sizzle——"
Flames burst out from his fingertips and even jumped twice happily.
Shen Sui'an stretched out his other hand to touch it, and there was no burning sensation, but it was warm and comfortable.
She played for a while, then lost interest.
The baby zombie on the ground was completely motionless, the red flames faded, leaving only a blue crystal.
As if it had been tempered by the flames, the crystal was crystal clear, with a faint halo, and looked particularly beautiful.
"Crystal core?"
Shen Sui'an looked left and right, but didn't see anything wrong.
"What is it? Can I use it?"
Tuntun glanced at Shen Sui'an's clean and clear eyes, and suddenly had a mischievous thought, [Why don't you try it? ]
Shen Sui'an asked while feeling it, "How do I use this?"
As soon as the voice fell, a blue light flashed, and with a "click--" sound, the dim crystal shattered and fell from the jade hands.
Tuntun stared at Shen Sui'an with wide eyes, unable to speak for a long time: [!!!]
Shen Sui'an blinked innocently, as if asking knowingly, "Why did it break?"
Tuntun: [......]
It didn't know how to answer her for a moment.
Shen Sui'an didn't count on it, and began to explore new abilities.
He noticed the suppressed zombie not far away, and with a vicious grin on his lips, he slowly approached.
The zombie smelled the breath of the living, struggled to break free, and kept twisting its already mutilated body, growling.
"So noisy."
Shen Sui'an pouted, and with a move of his slender fingers, the zombie froze in place, and a thin layer of ice formed on its body.
Shen Sui'an tilted his head and propped up his chin, "Is it ice?"
"Hehe, hehe..."
Controlling the force, the ice layer did not cause much damage to the zombie, but it successfully angered it. However, halfway through the call, a ball of fire wrapped its whole body.
"..."
Young people, no martial ethics.
[......]
At this moment, Tuntun had a new understanding of Shen Sui'an.
Previously, he was rebellious, uninhibited, lazy, and smart.
Now he is innocent and pure, and he is also playful. The evil in his bones can't be concealed at all.
Okay, okay, I'm playing with split personality.
Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's cold, and it can't help shaking its head.
Falling into the hands of this demon, it is really worthy of sympathy.
The second-level zombie is indeed much stronger than the ordinary zombie. Shen Sui'an used skills for a long time before killing it.
She rubbed her wrist and sighed: "It's just like playing games normally. I'm a novice, a little bit naive, and it's also very laborious."
Tuntun was speechless.
Really? It saw that she was having fun.
"Tuanzi, come on, come alive."
[Didn't I emphasize it? I'm Tuntun. ] Tuntun looked in the direction of her sight, and his expression management was out of control, [Do you want me to dig someone's brain? 】
"Look how offensive you are. We are just making use of waste." Shen Sui'an said nonsense seriously, "It's hot now. Even if we don't move, it will rot. Instead of that, why don't we let it show some value before it completely disappears, so that it won't be in vain."
[......]
Why does this sound familiar?
Knowing that he can't win the argument, he just kept silent and worked hard.
The result did not make Shen Sui'an happy. There was nothing inside, or no, there was discolored mushy brain matter...
That was definitely a mosaic picture, very appetizing.
Shen Sui'an took a calm look, quickly retracted his gaze, and held the pillar to vomit twice.
Tsk, how can a pure little white flower like her live in such a world?
Hearing Shen Sui'an's inner thoughts, Tun Tun said: [......]
You don't behave like that?
It seriously suspected that Shen Sui'an was pretending, but there was nothing wrong with her expression.
But he always felt that something was a little strange.
It realized later that Shen Sui'an's fire ability could burn even the second-level mutant baby zombie in an instant, so why didn't it work now?
Could it be intentional?
It got the truth: 6!
Shen Sui'an paused for a while and went to explore the inconspicuous house.
It was very messy inside, and there was a fishy stench.
Shen Sui'an never let himself down, and took a step back decisively, "Tuanzi, go ahead!"
Chapter 17 I am not a human
[Why don't you go? ]
"I think this opportunity should be reserved for capable people." Her expression was flawless.
[But I am not a human, you don't have to leave me a chance. ]
Shen Sui'an: "..."
She cleared her throat and continued to fool: "How can such a great task be handed over to a waste like me? The wise and powerful Tuanzi-sama is more suitable."
[I will not be fooled by you. ]
While she said tough words, her body moved over bit by bit honestly.
Shen Sui'an's bright red thin lips were slightly raised, and a warmth came from her wrist.
Her figure was slightly startled, and she quickly pulled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white wrist bones and the white bracelet.
She reached out and touched it, but she didn't feel the same feeling as before.
Was it an illusion?
[Come in quickly! I'm going to be suffocated! ]
"I'm coming."
Shen Sui'an pulled down her sleeves and walked in.
Whether it was an illusion or not, it was not a bad thing for her.
No, if it wasn't an illusion, it would definitely be a good thing.
The moment she entered the room, Shen Sui'an's eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted from hypoglycemia.
She pinched her nose and said in a husky voice: "Tuanzi, where are you...?"
[Here, here. 】
Tuntun floated back to her side and reported what it had observed, [There is a female corpse inside, it has been so rotten that it can no longer be seen in human form, and judging from the condition of the corpse, most of the body has been eaten by the baby zombie. 】
[There is a box over there, there should be something inside, I can't pick it up. 】
Shen Sui'an nodded, looked at the white skeleton with only a few pieces of flesh left, and commented: "It's more realistic than those in the laboratory, but it's a bit smelly."
[......]
This mission is over, it wants to change hosts.
Oh, no, in the future, anyone with a personality like Shen Sui'an will be directly rejected.
Shen Sui'an didn't understand what it was thinking. Following Tun Tun's instructions, he found the locked box smoothly.
The box was black and stained, nothing special.
Shen Sui'an picked it up and shook it, then put it back and looked at Tun Tun.
[Why are you looking at me? ] Tun Tun swallowed his saliva, [You open it. ]
"I didn't come to you because I couldn't open it."
Tun Tun: [...I'm not omnipotent. ]
"Oh, okay."
I can only do it myself.
Oh.
She moved her fingers slowly, and the box was immediately covered with a layer of frost, followed by a "click" sound, and the box shattered.
Tun Tun: [...]
Is this how the supernatural power is used?
However, the next scene made it even more speechless.
When Shen Sui'an took the box, the dirt on it stained her palm, but now, with a piece of ice crystal falling, how could she see any stain? !
So clean.
Tun Tun thought of the hosts who were chosen before, all of them used their superpowers in a proper place, except Shen Sui'an.
He opened a box and washed his hands.
The things in the box were exposed, which were a piece of white crystal and a small piece of something wrapped in paper.
Tun Tun's face changed, and he hurriedly said: [Kill this piece quickly. ]
As if sensing danger, the piece flew out of the door at the fastest speed.
But before it stepped out of the threshold, a ball of fire wrapped it, and it didn't have time to scream, and it dissipated directly into the air.
Tuntun breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the white crystal, and understood.
No wonder it couldn't sense the existence of the baby zombie.
"What is that thing?"
**
Nanzhou Security Base, District 7.
Unlike the outside environment, the surroundings of the villa, including the villa, are very clean, and there are hyacinths and gardenias planted in the backyard.
It is obviously not the season for flowers to bloom, but strangely, the two kinds of flowers bloomed at the same time, which is very beautiful.
When the breeze blows, the faint fragrance of flowers permeates the nose, making people feel refreshed.
If you don't know, you would think this is a peaceful and beautiful scene before the end of the world.
At this time, the living room on the first floor.
About six or seven people sat around the table, some were leaning on their heads in a daze, some were leaning on their chairs in a daze, and one was wiping his gun. No one spoke first.
Cen Xi knocked on the table, and the sound attracted the others. They raised their eyelids, and their expressions were calm.
"As usual, did you find anything this time?"
Song Yuanxing propped his chin up in boredom, and said weakly, "The place where Brother Feng and I went is already a ruin, full of zombies. Although it was exciting, it took us a lot of effort. Thanks to my invisibility and Brother Feng's speed, the group of zombies didn't catch us."
In short, it was a surprise.
The next person to come was a handsome boy with a pure smile. "Sister Cheng Yuan and I went to the northern area. It was all snowy. The zombies inside were difficult to deal with. Thanks to Sister Cheng Yuan, I was able to return safely."
The beautiful woman shook her head, "You are also very powerful. If I rely on myself, I can't get away."
Sheng Tianming smiled and shook his head.
The stern-faced man played with the gun in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I didn't go out this time."
Cen Xi: "Chengzi and I walked around nearby. Although we didn't encounter many zombies, they were all difficult to deal with. In addition, there were survivors in the city very close to here, but we didn't go in."
Fu Nanchuan leaned back in his chair and stroked the gun with his fingers. "With the passage of time, not only our abilities have improved, but the strength of the zombies has also increased."
Cheng Yuan agreed: "Now there is news that the current level of zombies has reached the sixth level."
You know, the last time a fourth-level zombie was dispatched by three of them.
Although it was half a year ago.
Liang Yichen lay on the table with no hope, "The environment is bad, and the zombies have become so strong, will they leave us a chance to survive?"
"There will always be a way." Feng Jingchen pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and smiled softly, "Everyone is tired, why don't we go and rest first."
"H..."
When Song Yuanxing saw the figure coming down the stairs, he changed his words, "Boss."
The rest of the people looked over.
The man was tall and straight, with his hair covering his eyebrows a little, his fox eyes were filled with indifference and hostility, his eyebrows were unruly, his facial features were three-dimensional, the proportions were perfect, his facial lines were smooth and clear, and his thin red lips were slightly pursed, which was extremely aggressive.
The black clothes made his complexion look even colder and paler. His posture was lazy and casual, his aura was strong, full of oppression, and his body was surrounded by a sense of world-weariness.
"Boss." The others shouted in unison.
The man said "hmm" lightly, his expression was gloomy, and his emotions could not be seen.
Cen Xi sighed softly, "Do you want to say a few words?"
The man was slightly startled, his hands were in his pockets, his voice was low and magnetic, with a slight hoarseness: "No, I'll go to the backyard to see the flowers."
Chapter 18 Let her come back
Going to see flowers again?
Liang Yichen blinked her eyes, a little curious, "Are you really not tired of looking at those two kinds of flowers all the time?"
Also, which good person would go to see flowers whenever he has time?
"And the boss never goes with us every time." Sheng Tianming leaned back in his chair, feeling frustrated at this realization.
Song Yuanxing touched his chin and guessed: "Maybe he thinks you are too weak and will hold you back."
Sheng Tianming slowly widened his eyes and said unconvincedly, "What do you mean I hold you back? It's obvious that he despises you!"
Song Yuanxing: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"You are just too weak."
"It's obviously you!"
"You!"
"You!"
"..."
The two of them stared at each other with gritted teeth, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Feng Jingchen glanced at the other people who had nothing to do with him, helplessly pressed his throbbing temples, and spoke to ease the atmosphere: "Okay, the boss must have his reasons for doing this. If there is really a problem, I will help you ask next time."
As soon as he said this, Sheng Tianming and Song Yuanxing recovered their usual state as quickly as possible, smiled together, and said tacitly: "No need."
What a joke, if this matter is brought to the boss, it is estimated that only the two of them will suffer.
Feng Jingchen heard this and raised a friendly smile on his face, "In this case, let's all go to rest."
Song Yuanxing and Sheng Tianming nodded obediently and prepared to go upstairs to rest.
Seeing this, Feng Jingchen's smile deepened.
Well, very good, this family will definitely fall apart without him.
Liang Yichen stretched and tilted her head, "Sister Yuan, Sister Xi, let's go back too."
She wanted to hear the story they didn't finish yesterday.
Cen Xi's mind was pulled back from the man's lonely figure, and she already had the answer in her heart, "You go back first, I'll go see the flowers too."
Song Yuanxing became interested, "I'm suddenly not sleepy anymore, I'll go see the flowers too."
Sheng Tianming: "Add me."
Fu Nanchuan silently stepped up to follow.
Liang Yichen chuckled twice, with cunning in her eyes, "Brother Feng, Sister Yuanyuan, let's go see Huabei too."
If we are punished at that time, we will go together.
Cheng Yuan ignored the crazy voice in her mind and nodded in response: "Okay."
Feng Jingchen smiled slightly, "I don't have any objection."
**
Backyard.
The man was lying on the rocking chair, his soft hair drooping slightly, his eyes were tight, his long eyelashes were like wings ready to fly, his skin was cold and white, without any flaws, he was lying quietly, adding a bit of cuteness.
The rocking chair was surrounded by gorgeous flowers, and the breeze blew gently, swaying all over the garden.
Like an oil painting, beautiful but unreal.
Cen Xi paused, suddenly not knowing whether to break this tranquility.
In my impression, Xie Yubai rarely felt as relaxed as he did now.
Since the car accident three years ago, everything has changed.
Cen Xi tightened his fingers, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and prepared to leave.
People who were listening at the corner of the wall not far away: No, why did you leave?
"Cen Xi."
A low and hoarse voice sounded, Cen Xi stopped, turned around and asked with a smile: "Why did you wake up? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
The man sat up, and his eyes that could not see the light flashed with confusion and a trace of sadness. His slender fingers inserted into his hair and stroked it up, revealing his smooth and full forehead. When his hands loosened, some of it fell down again.
He raised his eyelids, and his slightly pale lips trembled for no reason, as if he had not come out of the dream just now.
He asked: "Happy, what kind of emotion is it?"
Cen Xi froze in place, a chill spread from the soles of his feet, and looked at him woodenly.
The man lowered his eyes, and his beautiful fingertips stroked the black bracelet on his wrist. His voice was low, as if it would disappear with the wind:
"I just had a dream. In the dream, someone told me: You have to be happy."
——"Xiaobai, you have to be happy."
"My answer is: I am happy every day."
——"I am happy every day."
"Then in the dream, there was a pair of very beautiful eyes looking at me. She didn't say anything, just shook her head, but I could feel the sadness hidden in it."
Why?
Why would I be sad?
He didn't understand.
In the past few years, the memory of that person has become less and less, even if I try my best to remember, I keep forgetting.
It's like an instruction that must be followed.
He didn't want to obey, but the fact was that he had forgotten her voice and some of his memories of being with her.
He didn't know how long the remaining memories could last.
He also didn't know how long he could hold on.
Just because of the sentence "Be happy every day, and don't let down the wish I made for you every year: I wish Xiaobai classmate peace, health and happiness."
The premise of being happy is to be alive, right?
Then he is alive.
He can't die.
But what she wanted to tell him was to live happily.
Is he happy?
He doesn't seem happy.
He will laugh, but he is just unhappy.
So is he still keeping his promise now?
"Xie Yubai." Cen Xi called him.
Xie Yubai looked indifferent, "Hmm?"
"If you can't hold on, go find her."
Xie Yubai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"She let me live."
"She said to live happily."
"I can't break my promise."
"But you're not happy!" Cen Xi's eyes were red, and her voice was slightly choked, "Xie Yubai, enough, enough, there's no need to torture yourself anymore."
Since Shen Sui'an left, Xie Yubai has been guarding their memories and staying in his own way, preventing anyone from approaching or showing goodwill.
Like a walking corpse, like a machine without emotions, the order given to himself is to live.
Anything else is not within the scope of consideration.
She can feel his grief and despair.
Xie Yubai still shook his head, "Wait a little longer."
He said, "Cenxi, I'm trying."
He said, "Wait a little longer, I will let her come back."
At the very least, at the end of his life, he wanted to hear her voice again, to hear her call him the name that only she knew, "Xiaobai classmate."
Cenxi's eyes widened in disbelief, and her hands hanging by her side couldn't stop trembling, "What?"
How can a dead person come back?
Chapter 19 A Short Story
Xie Yubai did not answer her question.
He just stared at the bracelet in a daze.
He remembered that he had saved a lot of her things at the beginning, so how come this bracelet is the only thing related to her now?
He caught a glimpse of a pretty figure not far away, and a few crazy and dark smiles appeared at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were full of tenderness and longing.
Soon.
Soon I can see her and hear her voice.
Cen Xi's heart was inexplicably flustered.
She was not worried that Xie Yubai would do something cruel and inhumane, but she always felt that Xie Yubai was a kind of morbid madness now.
"Xie Yubai, you..." She tried to calm her uncontrollable heartbeat and trembling voice, "Are you awake now?"
"Of course." Xie Yubai raised his eyelids and looked at her, his expression was lazy, and one could actually read a sense of peace and quiet from it, "I have never been more awake than now."
Cen Xi opened her mouth, but no sound came out of her throat.
**
"What are they talking about? Why can't I hear anything?" Song Yuanxing was really curious, and her heart seemed to be crawling with ants, itching unbearably.
Sheng Tianming pushed him, "Go to the side, don't block my sight, I can't see."
Song Yuanxing grabbed the corner of the wall with his hands, hit Sheng Tianming hard with his butt, snorted coldly, and thought of the current situation and deliberately lowered his voice: "You should stay away from me."
"You...!"
Liang Yichen squatted with her petite body, feeling the quarrel above, and rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Why are you so childish? It's like a quarrel between children."
Song Yuanxing and Sheng Tianming said in unison, "Who is childish!"
The two glared at each other and said at the same time: "I'm not a child!"
"Why are you imitating my words?" Another unison.
Fu Nanchuan glanced at them and commented, "They have a good understanding."
"Who wants to have a good understanding with him?" Even their voice speeds were the same.
Fu Nanchuan raised his eyebrows, as if to say: This is not a good understanding?
Liang Yichen held her face and said "tsk tsk" twice, "If you two don't have a good understanding, then there are no people with good understanding in the world."
Song Yuanxing: "..."
Sheng Tianming: "..."
Feng Jingchen smiled as he watched this scene. When he turned his gaze to Cheng Yuan on the side, a trace of darkness flashed across his eyes.
Compared with others, Cheng Yuan seemed absent-minded from the beginning.
Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were fixed on the two people not far away, or to be more precise, Xie Yubai.
The voice in her mind made her particularly irritable.
[Host, I have detected that the male protagonist is in a bad mood. This is the best time to send him warmth and improve his favorability. ]
[Host, don't be afraid, be brave! I support you spiritually! ! ]
[Friendly reminder, the male protagonist's favorability towards you is now at 0, please increase it as soon as possible. ]
[Host, have you forgotten? If you can't complete this mission, you can't return to your world, and you can't survive to the end! ]
[Host, don't hesitate anymore, hesitation is doomed to failure! ]
[The male protagonist is now at the lowest point in his life. If you send him warmth at this time, you will definitely be able to gain his favorability. ]
Cheng Yuan wanted to laugh when she heard this.
Are you sure it's the favorability?
She was 100% sure that if she followed the system's instructions at this time, she would definitely die.
Don't ask her how she knew, maybe she had experienced it once.
No, to be precise, she knew her future fate in advance and identified some lies.
Very strange.
But think about it carefully, it's the end of the world, what's wrong with a little cheat?
[I'm curious, why do you want to kill someone's wife? What did they do to you? ]
No wonder Xie Yubai went crazy.
It's not normal if he's not crazy.
[This is an established rule, it can't be changed. ] The system paused, [And, this setting is the most popular at present. ]
Cheng Yuan's mouth twitched.
She continued to ask questions: [There shouldn't be more than me in this world, right? 】
The system didn't answer this time.
Cheng Yuan thought she had touched on some secret that couldn't be told, and was about to change her method to continue asking questions, when she felt a chill on her back.
She thought of a possibility, and her breathing suddenly became disordered, her heartbeat quickened, and her palms sweated.
The ending of her dream appeared in her mind, and she shuddered suddenly.
No wonder the system hid and kept silent...
It turns out it's afraid!
However.
Cheng Yuan swallowed her saliva.
Is there a possibility that she is also afraid.
Why didn't she know it earlier or later, but she knew it these two days...
She can't run away even if she wants to!
"Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yuan."
The gentle voice pulled her back to her thoughts. She pulled her lips and forced a smile, "What's wrong?"
Feng Jingchen: "Are you feeling unwell? I see that your face is very pale and your hands are shaking."
Liang Yichen stood up, rubbed her numb calves, and asked worriedly: "Sister Yuan, are you okay?"
Cheng Yuan smiled and shook her head: "Nothing, I just remembered a nightmare and was scared."
Several people nodded and did not continue to ask.
Liang Yichen suggested: "Anyway, you can't hear anything here, why not go back and rest."
Sheng Tianming whispered: "Sister Cen Xi..."
Liang Yichen rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "Sister Xi is talking to the boss..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
She turned stiffly and laughed dryly: "Sister Xi, are you done talking?"
Cen Xi's expression was dull and she looked a little dazed. She said "hmm" when she heard it.
This was the first time Feng Jingchen had seen Cen Xi like this. Her beautiful eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses flashed with worry. "Xiao Xi, did something happen?"
"Cen Xi, we are a team." Fu Nanchuan said seriously, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell us and we will solve them together."
"Yes, Sister Xi."
Song Yuanxing and Sheng Tianming also nodded heavily.
Cheng Yuan pursed her lips.
What was it?
Of course it was about Xie Yubai's wife.
"Is it about the boss?" Seeing that Cen Xi didn't speak for a long time, Fu Nanchuan was bleeding.
"Boss's story?" Several people looked at each other curiously, "What kind of story is that?"
From the time they met Xie Yubai until now, he rarely chatted with them, and even the title of "Boss" was called by them on their own.
Cen Xi hesitated.
"Want to know my story?" The low, mellow and magnetic voice hit everyone's eardrums.
"Boss." Several people stood in an orderly manner, like elementary school students being questioned by the teacher.
The man's posture was lazy and lazy, with a bit of ruffian spirit, but his manners were very good.
"My story..."
He seemed to be reminiscing, savoring it carefully, leaving only bitterness, "The story is not long, nor difficult to tell, it can be summarized in four words."
Lost the love forever.
Chapter 20 I'm still alive
Although Xie Yubai didn't explain what those four words were, they always felt that they were not good words.
Because when the man spoke, his tone was tinged with nostalgia, and his eyes and body were lingering with a faint sadness.
Perhaps it was because of this atmosphere that their mood could not help but fall.
The temperature around them gradually dropped, and the air condensed.
Song Yuanxing couldn't stand this atmosphere, and said, "Oh," "Are you hungry? How about we eat something good?"
Sheng Tianming shrugged, "I think about eating all day long."
"If I don't think about eating, do I think about you?"
Sheng Tianming: "..." I don't want to pay attention to him!
Although the method is clumsy, the effect is unexpectedly good.
Liang Yichen smiled sweetly, "Come to think of it, we haven't had dinner together for a long time, do you want to take this opportunity to have a meal?"
Fu Nanchuan was very frugal with his words: "I don't have any opinions."
"I'll join." Feng Jingchen raised a gentle smile, "Boss, come along?"
Xie Yubai had long since put aside his emotions, his pupils were as dark as ink, he could not see the end, nor the light Liang refused as expected, "I'm tired, you guys go."
Song Yuanxing smiled and stepped forward, and then stopped at a certain distance, "Let's go together, it's lively with so many people, and sleeping all the time is not good for your health."
Xie Yubai's foxy eyes were filled with indifference and hostility. The fingertips of his right hand gently rubbed the bracelet on his left wrist bone, suppressing the bloodthirsty thoughts.
"I don't like to say things twice."
The voice was slightly cold, without any emotion.
Song Yuanxing's body trembled inexplicably and took two steps back.
Don't look at him as a troublemaker and dare to pull the hair on the tiger's head, in fact, he calculated that Xie Yubai would not be too angry.
But for some reason, just a moment ago, he felt a sense of danger.
A danger that threatened his life.
Sheng Tianming wanted to laugh at him, but he accidentally glanced at his trembling hands, and the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.
Liang Yichen and Cheng Yuan huddled together, trying to reduce their presence.
The former didn't want to add fuel to the fire, and the latter was afraid.
Cen Xi stared at Xie Yubai, frowning, and said nothing.
An absurd idea suddenly came to her mind.
Is Xie Yubai the same as before?
No!
Not anymore!
Except for his appearance, Xie Yubai now has no trace of his youth.
That high-spirited, unbridled young man seemed to have been buried along with the man in the car accident three years ago.
Cen Xi bit her lip until a rusty taste spread in her mouth, and her chaotic consciousness began to clear up.
Her shoulder was touched lightly, and she tilted her head to meet Feng Jingchen's worried eyes.
She shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Xie Yubai ignored their reactions and stepped forward to leave.
"Then what are we!"
Fu Nanchuan clenched his fists, his voice cold and hard, "Xie Yubai, I don't know what happened to you. You didn't tell us, and we knew our limits and didn't ask, but do you want to keep falling like this?"
"Aren't we a team?"
"Or in your eyes, are we the same as those people outside?"
The air was completely condensed, filled with a tense atmosphere.
Song Yuanxing and Sheng Tianming also joined Liang Yichen's team.
Xie Yubai paused, looking puzzled, "Isn't this good? At least you're alive, right?"
"Besides, you're just another name to me compared to those people outside. As for the team? You were the ones who insisted on joining me at first, I didn't agree, and it was you who formed the team, it has nothing to do with me."
He shrugged nonchalantly, "So you can do whatever you want, you don't need to report to me, I'm too lazy to care, and I don't want to care."
Fu Nanchuan choked, a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness filled his body.
He admitted that those words just now did have the elements of preemptive, moral kidnapping, and shamelessness in them.
It's just that he is usually not good at talking, and he couldn't find a topic to start with when he suddenly got the idea, so he just said it without thinking.
He regretted it after he finished speaking.
But when he heard Xie Yubai's answer, the thought of apologizing instantly disappeared.
"What do you mean by just being alive?" Fu Nanchuan was furious, "What's the difference between you and being dead?"
Not to mention that people must have ambitions to live, but people like Xie Yubai are full of decadent world-weariness, without any desire to survive, but just want to live.
Just work hard to live a good life, but there is no such thought.
He doesn't understand, he doesn't understand at all.
Xie Yubai glanced at him, with a faint look of disdain, "The difference is that I am alive."
Fu Nanchuan: "..."
Oh, he couldn't find any words to change Xie Yubai's mind.
Let it go!
It's good like this.
Isn't it good to be alive anyway?
Xie Yubai took a step forward with his slender legs, and a voice rang in his ears. The content of the voice made him stop.
