Lucys gaze was worriso
There was a sudden thud in Jian Qis heart How did Lucy find out? How much did she know?
No It wasnt Lucy
In many ways, she was competent, but she wasnt particularly insightful, and belonged to the type of fool who could easily be bamboozled once they beca comfortable with soone.
Could it be Ling Mo? Does he suspect and sent Lucy to probe ?
The more Jian Qi thought about it, the more likely it seed. But then a cold sneer rose in his heart.
What could be gained by sending Lucy to probe? A fool like her could easily be deceived
What are you talking about? What potion? Could it be Could it be that Zhen Zhiyuan and the others have taken the potion I was researching?!
Jian Qis eyes widened as he exclaid, Thats madness, its just a prototype No, not even a prototype, rely an experintal sample! How could they steal sothing like that?
He sighed heavily, his eyes flickering with disbelief
So thats how it is
Lucy watched Jian Qi for a while, then suddenly snapped back to reality: Thats quite a story! It sounds plausible at first and your expression seed sincere, but how co you didnt ntion the three missing bottles of potion! And your face seems calm, but your heart is clearly in turmoil!
I almost got deceived again, you really think Im that gullible! Lucys heart sank even further, mixed with a hint of anger.
A persons expression can be faked, but not their heartbeat.
And Jian Qis denial only made it clearer that sothing was off
These past few days, the mutation had increasingly affected Lucy, but she had never been as sensitive as she was now.
The more focused she was, the clearer the other persons breathing and heartbeat beca.
However, the other sounds around her seed the sa as before, not as keen as the average zombies.
Lucy also vaguely realized that her changes might not be the sa as those of the average zombie.
But for now, she had no ti to think it through
Heh, it seems youve misunderstood sothing about ? Jian Qi managed a strained smile and said.
He was also feeling frustrated. Just a mont ago, Lucy seed to have been swayed by his act!
How did she suddenly change her deanor? What switched off her fools acceptance?
Biting her lip, Lucy was silent for a few seconds before asking, Why?
By the sound of it, she was no longer considering any of Jian Qis defenses, and it wasnt just suspicion anymore; she was convinced
Jian Qi opened his mouth but still couldnt co up with a suitable excuse.
After a mutual gaze for a while, the surprise on Jian Qis face suddenly vanished without a trace, and his eyes grew colder.
He smiled faintly and asked, Did those three idiots tell you?
Indeed
That was almost like an indirect admission!
Although Lucy already had her answer, hearing Jian Qi say it still felt sowhat hard to accept.
Just how many masks was this man wearing on his face
You previously said they went there stealthily, but it seems like you had a part in this too. But why? Just to maintain a cooperative relationship with the Air Force Corps?
Lucy gritted her teeth as she asked.
When Zhen Zhiyuan and the others had gone to hunt down Ling Mo, Lucy hadnt returned to Fire yet.
So, in their hunting plan, Lucy was naturally a participant
The thought chilled her to the bone.
Though Jian Qi did not directly partake in the hunt, he provided them with potions
Looking at your face, it seems like youve misunderstood sothing
After dropping the pretense, Jian Qis eyes returned to their previous state, smiling yet not smiling as he said, Actually, what you said is not entirely wrong, nor is it entirely right.
What do you an? Lucy took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to punch him, and asked.
The Air Force Corps held an absolute advantage at that ti; my actions were justifiable. And didnt I tell you? They were just test subjects, and I wasnt talking only about the potions Jian Qi said with a slight smile, squinting his eyes, That includes the three of them too.
Lucys eyes widened with shock, What you just said
Hmph, you really are a fool, woman. Ive made it so clear, and you still dont understand? Jian Qi scoffed inwardly, then shook his head, You still dont get it? Why do you think we had to go to City X? Resources? Factories? Food? Those may be important to you, but they an nothing to . The resource Im interested in is the ground littered with test subjects. Of course, that includes you all as well.
His words were blunt, and though Lucy was overwheld ntally, she managed to grasp his aning.
All her previous questions were answered at that mont.
Jian Qi stayed in Fire because he saw all the psychics as lab rats!
The resolve of Zhen Zhiyuan and the others to secretly pursue Ling Mo was likely influenced by his instigation and provocation, and he had even provided them with experintal potions
His intentions were sinister, utterly ruthless!
You were supposed to be comrades Lucy trembled with anger, her blood boiling with fury, and she cursed incoherently, You actually Then the experints youve done before must have been nurous! Let think Thats right, last month, two psychics disappeared That was you! You did that!
Oh, suddenly got smart, have we?
Jian Qi said with amusent, At tis like these, what does the death of a few people matter? No one cares about them. Not just a few, even if all of Fire were wiped out, so what? Now, those in City X are like poor bugs surrounded by zombies, with no place to run.
His tone wasnt sinister as he spoke these words; it was just like he was chatting casually, and his eyes didnt show the slightest change.
But it was this indifference that infuriated Lucy even more!
What did this guy think people were!
Whats the point of those experints youre doing? And who on earth are you! Lucy demanded loudly.
Anyway, as long as its not so kind of mad scientist As for who I am What if I told you that I was once just a regular Psychic like you? Would you believe ?
Jian Qi chuckled and said, Before, I used to punch the clock, commute by subway, and occasionally hit the bars Sotis I felt that the world I saw was all there was, and sotis I actually longed for so excitent and change Heh.
Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Lucy asked with a frown.
Dont you think that the Disaster Outbreak could actually be an opportunity? Jian Qi asked back in surprise, To break everything down and start anew. Of course, at first, I just wanted to survive, and even after awakening my Psychic abilities, I simply felt that I had an extra layer of protection over others, until I ca into contact with them
Them? Lucy suddenly beca alert, sensing from Jian Qis words that there was soone else behind all this, not just Jian Qi
The Origin, the virus Origin, Jian Qi said abruptly, his usually unchanged gaze suddenly filled with fervor, We are re pawns, but on this chessboard, no one controls us; we make our own moves. However, most pawns cannot see the whole ga and are thus dood to be eliminated. We havent grasped the full picture either, but weve seen so clues
At this point, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
A very dangerous feeling made Lucys body involuntarily tense up.
In fact, from the mont she saw through Jian Qi, Lucy knew that the other party would definitely make a move
The only questions were when and how long she could hold out
Do you hope soone will pass by?
Jian Qi laughed heartily, looking at Lucy with a pitying gaze, Silly girl, were right next to the rooftop. Who would co up here for no reason just to catch the wind? Even your Ling Mo wouldnt
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the hallway.
Jian Qis words were cut off as if soone had choked him. His voice disappeared in an instant.
When did this person co here!
And how could I have not noticed at all?!
Looking at Ling Mos face, Jian Qi suddenly felt the urge to slam his head against the wall.
Sorry, I just happened to be passing by.
Ling Mo sniffed and said with a smile.
