A slightly dazed expression appeared on the young man’s face. He just stood there, as if deeply hypnotized, his eyes cast downwards.
Then he nodded and answered Bai Lu’s words: “Yes.”
“If I complete the task, then Zero will let me be revived, and I can return to my own world.”
Bai Lu only felt his bone marrow being crushed by this strange power. He was filled with nothing but the cold fear of a shiver down his spine. He didn’t dare to move at all because the look in Ji Huai’s eyes was no longer human.
His facial expression, in particular, was terrifying.
Bai Lu even had a moment where he thought, Ning Shu must definitely be killed by Ji Huai. This intense excitement diluted some of the fear in his heart.
He endured the immense pain and then spoke out, “Ji Huai, did you hear me? He doesn’t truly care about you at all! He only wants to use you! That’s why he’s been so nice to you!”
Ji Huai glanced at him, that kind of condescending darkness crushing down: “Shut up.”
Bai Lu’s face instantly paled.
He couldn’t utter a single word, as if someone had choked him.
The next second, Bai Lu’s body was flung out like broken copper and iron, shattering into a mess of blood.
…and because Bai Lu’s hypnosis failed. …
<>
The boy, all over, emanated an unnatural aura.
He stared at the young man, his eyes dark, obsessed and frenzied, making Ning Shu shiver with a chill down her spine.
At the same time, he also saw the white road in the distance.
Ning Shu retracted her gaze and spoke, “Ji Huai?”
The boy remained silent, his deep-set eyes fixed on him without blinking.
Ning Shu felt a shiver run down his spine as he was being watched. He instinctively took a step back.
Ji Huai also walked over, step by step closer to him: “Ning Ge, I heard everything you said just now? What do you mean by returning to your own world? Can Ning Ge explain it to me?”
Ning Shu was astonished.
He suddenly felt a bit flustered. Although he had been trapped all along, his mind was clear. It was just that his thoughts and body seemed to be under someone else’s control.
As soon as I thought it could be Bai Lu’s doing.
That is to say…
Everything Bai Lu asked, Ning Shu answered, and all of it was heard by Ji Huai.
Ning Shu was momentarily at a loss for words, and she bit her lip.
“….” Ji Huai, I “…”
“Ning Ge, answer me first. Are you close to me just because of the mission? Are you only so good to me because you want to return to your own world?”
When he said this, Qi Huai’s face was expressionless.
His eyes seemed possessed, staring straight at the young man.
Ning Shu hadn’t expected his secret to be exposed like this. He even dared not meet the boy’s gaze, so he averted his eyes and simply hummed softly.
“…But, Zhihuai… I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”
“I believe everything Brother Ning says.”
The boy suddenly said.
Ning Shu never expected that Ji Huai would give such an answer. He was stunned for a moment, then continued, “I’m sorry, I really…was trying to resurrect myself…”
No matter what, he came to Ji Huai’s side because of Lingling’s mission.
“Then, weren’t all those things Ning Ge did to me genuine?”
Ji Huai lowered his eyes, and no one could see the expression in them.
Ning Shu hearing this couldn’t help but say, “……Ji Huai, I hope your life can be free from those people. You were born to have a beautiful life of your own. Don’t stay trapped in those things forever…”
“So, Ning Ge, do you have to return to your own world in the end?”
Ji Huai lifted his face and looked at him.
His eyes were pitch black.
It was dark and bottomless.
Ning Shu had a bad feeling about something, but he didn’t want to lie to Ji Huai. To be precise, he didn’t want to keep lying to him anymore.
Ji Huai’s life should not have one more person who harms him.
So he gently nodded his head: “Yes, I’m not originally from this world, so in the end, I will return to my own world.”
“What if I don’t want Ning Ge to go back?”
The young boy walked over.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but be astonished.
Ji Huai narrowed his eyes and pulled the young man over. “Ning ge, what if I don’t let you go back?”
Ning Shu suddenly had a bad feeling.
But he still spoke up: “…This is my deal with Zero.”
“I don’t care what it is, I just know it wants to take Ning Ge away from me.” Ji Huai’s eyes blazed with a fierce desire for destruction. He lowered his head and bit down on the young man’s neck.
That is the posture of possession.
Huddled the young one close.
Then a voice came to Ning Shu’s ear: “Brother Ning, you’re not well-behaved. I originally planned to do it later, but now…”
…..
Ning Shu didn’t know what was happening; his vision went dark. In an instant, he found himself in a massive space.
Before his eyes, a vast garden appeared.
The garden is full of vegetables.
And there are also many fruit trees.
And it looks very spacious.
Most importantly, there’s no difference between here and the outside. There are even houses and all sorts of things. Ning Shu could even see lots of flowers on the balcony.
There are still many flowers he had raised outside before.
The courtyard is also decorated in his taste, and there’s a small cottage.
Ning Shu walked in, and there were not many people in the villa.
There’s everything here, and there’s also a study. Inside, there are many books; he estimates it would take him several years to read them all. He walked for a while, hearing only the sound of his own footsteps.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and couldn’t help but call out Ji Huai’s name.
But the young man never appeared from beginning to end.
Ning Shu remained silent, although he had only spent a few hours here. However, he felt a strange sense of dissonance, as if nothing happened when he accidentally tripped and fell.
And there is also a fountain outside.
From the enormous spring, flowed water that appeared unexpectedly clean and sweet.
Ning Shu took another sip, and he found it refreshing with a hint of sweetness.
He saw fruit trees planted nearby, of every kind.
There are cherry trees and peach trees.
The cherries were big and red, just like the big bowl of cherries that Ji Huai had brought into his room last time.
Ning Shu turned around in a circle, he truly couldn’t understand. Why did he appear here the moment he woke up? And besides, there shouldn’t be such a place within the base.
This looks too beautiful, I guess people in the apocalypse would be astonished and shocked to see it.
Even before the apocalypse, this place was like a paradise.
It was like nobody would ever come to disturb us.
When Ning Shu heard the bleating, he thought he had misheard. He hesitated for a moment before walking towards the sound and discovered it was a huge farm.
There is a flock of sheep, a herd of cattle, and chickens, ducks, and geese.
In the middle lay a pond, and the fish in it looked especially plump and fresh.
Those animals looked at Ning Shu as if they had never seen a stranger before, making noises in their mouths.
Ning Shu walked over and stopped in front of a flock of sheep.
Those sheep looked particularly clean, their wool was as white as cotton. They bleated “baa baa”.
A little cute.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but reach out and touch the sheep in the middle.
The sheep still seemed to want more, and it nuzzled its head closer.
Ning Shu found it a little magical.
He took a step back and stared at the space, finally realizing something was amiss.
It’s too quiet…
And those fruit trees, much like the ones Qi Huai usually used to please him.
Fresh tomatoes, chili peppers, and vegetables, one watermelon after another in the field, but it seems no one is tending to them. So although they are very fresh and lush green, they seem to be ignored.
Ning Shu suppressed the overwhelming sense of incongruity in her heart, then turned around silently, stepping into the villa.
Strangely, even after he stayed for several more hours, the sky outside remained bright and did not darken.
It has always been daytime.
Ning Shu had read for a while, then pushed open the door to his room and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that there were hands wrapped around his waist.
A hot, tall body pressed against him, holding him tight.
The next second.
The owner of the voice leaned close to his ear and said, “Ning Ge, you’re awake.”
Ning Shu only felt her scalp was about to explode!
It’s Ji Huai!
He couldn’t help but struggle for a moment, then struggled to his feet, looking at the young man in front of him. The other party had an exquisite and snowy appearance, a stunningly beautiful face.
At this moment, Ji Huai was staring straight at him with those eyes, his gaze filled with a dark and intense desire for possession and madness.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and said, “…Ji Huai, where did you bring me to?”
Ji Huai tilted his head and looked at him, saying in a coquettish and obedient tone, “Can’t Brother Ning see?”
He hugged her from behind.
Then open the window, looking down from this little house, you can see the orchard over there.
“Brother Ning wanted to eat cherries last month, so I planted a lot of cherry trees.”
Ning Shu stared at the cherry trees, and suddenly realized something, a chill running down her spine.
He was silent for a moment.
After a while, she managed to stammer out, “….Ji Huai, this is…your space?”
Ning Shu couldn’t believe it, after all, Ji Huai’s space was only a few dozen square meters. But now, it looked like even a hundred times that much.
It’s so big, it feels like another world.
And the space of Ji Huai simply couldn’t accommodate living creatures, yet here he saw animals…and himself…
Ji Huai, hearing this, actually bowed his head and chuckled softly, using a tone that made people feel creepy: “Brother Ning is so smart, you guessed right.”
He said calmly, “This is my space.”
