"In any case... let's talk about it first, right?"
Hearing this, the black manger did not refute, but just suggested indifferently, "Everyone, do you have any objections?"
"No."
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, let's surround it in a fan shape and get closer bit by bit. Be careful not to do anything drastic and don't let her think of us as enemies... After the encirclement is completely formed, let me try to make contact first... "
Lao Meng said as he cautiously led everyone closer. Although his movements were very careful, it could be seen that he was actually very anxious now. After all, no matter if Chen Duo showed hostility to anyone here and launched an attack, All is lost.
If the negotiation breaks down, they can only kill Chen Duo, which was agreed from the beginning.
In other words, if Chen Duo seeks death on her own, none of them will have any reason to protect her.
"Are you going? OK?" Wang Zhenqiu asked.
Although saying this seems to look down on Lao Meng, if he is not mistaken, Lao Meng is probably the weakest among them except Zhang Chulan.
Although Chen Duo's poison is terrifying, it is not difficult to deal with them if they are prepared. After all, the poison master is good at secretly poisoning, and there will be fewer opportunities for a head-on confrontation.
"Don't worry...if we are dealing with Gu, I should have an advantage over you."
Lao Meng explained with a solemn expression, "The eradication of the Medicine Immortal Society made it possible for the first time that the voodoo arts, which had long been regarded as secret traditions of various schools, were organized and systematically studied... Later, the company gave a new definition to voodoo arts - —The method of using Qi to induce mutation of microorganisms in the body! Although the effects of various voodoo techniques appear to be very different, they are all based on this premise. This is also the foundation for the establishment of the Yaoxian Society... They believe that from ancient times to the present, the rule of The entire world is made up of these microorganisms, so believers worship them and seek power from them!
Of course I don't agree with these crazy remarks, but let me tell you the truth... My ability is also related to microorganisms, so when it comes to manipulating microorganisms, there is a certain overlap between the methods of the Gu Master and mine, and I also participated in the research back then. Later, the company compiled a large amount of information and examples about various types of poisons from the Yaoxian Association. Thanks to these researches, I was able to touch areas that were previously unreachable... I don't like the shady behavior of Gu Masters. method, but because I have researched it... many types of poisons, or fungi, are ineffective for me and can even be used by me in turn.
I may not be able to deal with Chen Duo's original Gu, but I can resolve it with most methods, so don't worry..."
"There's no need to go to such trouble..."
Just when Lao Meng was about to approach, someone was faster than him.
Sun Haoran.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Sun Haoran patted Lao Meng's shoulder as if comforting him, then walked out without any explanation, and walked towards Chen Duo blatantly.
"Actually, I gave this girl two choices before I left here to help you get rid of Liu Hongzhong."
He approached Chen Duo with a smile as he spoke, "First, wait here for us to come and take her back to the company for trial. Second, escape from here, and then wait for the company's never-ending pursuit. Now it seems that she has given The choice is already obvious, right?”
"You mean...she chose to be taken back by us?"
Black Guan'er asked with a slight frown, no longer hiding and followed directly.
"Yes, she seems to have accepted her fate, even if the only thing waiting for her is death... Just like Lao Meng said, this is an honest girl."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Sun Haoran's tone, "However, such an upright and honest girl is treated as a weapon that can be destroyed after use by the guys above."
"You kid...don't you want to be like Ma Xianhong?" Xiao Zizai laughed when he heard this.
He heard a dangerous connotation in the young man's words. The young man's words now were almost exactly the same as Ma Xianhong's previous attitude, and that was... someone who wanted to be an enemy of the company...
He hadn't noticed before that this young man actually hid such a crazy side. For a moment, he seemed to smell the same kind of person.
"Yes... so what?"
Sun Haoran turned around and responded as if he was joking.
"..."
Everyone was silent.
But seeing that Chen Duo had no intention of taking any action against Sun Haoran's approach, everyone stopped hiding and followed him with their own ideas.
Wang Zhenqiu and Xiao Zizai looked at each other.
They could all hear that Sun Haoran's words were heart-breaking, and he seemed to be uneasy about them.
But this is also something that is obvious.
Except for Lao Meng, none of the temporary workers here have any reason to save Chen Duo.
They just sympathize more...
If Chen Duo really couldn't survive, they had no choice but to send him on his way after giving him the last mercy.
It's not that they don't want to save...it's just that they don't have the ability.
Although they all have special skills, they are all controlled by the company. The mercy they can give Chen Duo is very limited. They probably let Chen Duo choose the 'method of death'. They have many ways to make this girl painless. Leaving this terrible world, I only have the ability to give the other party a chance of survival.
And the man walking at the front... seemed different.
Soon, everyone came to Chen Duo.
Surrounded by a large group of people, the expression on Chen Duo's face remained unchanged. There was no fear or hostility.
Although I was a little confused as to why Chen Duo had such an attitude, the top priority seemed to be to understand the situation clearly first.
"Chen Duo...you..."
Lao Meng approached before everyone else and looked at Chen Duo, "Are you really here...waiting for us?"
"Oh, yes."
Chen Duo responded calmly, "Waiting for you here...I chose it myself. Then...what do you want me to do next?"
"Chen Duo! Follow us..."
When Lao Meng heard this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
But just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Wang Zhenqiu on the side.
"Wait a minute, Lao Meng... think about it carefully... is she asking us what we want her to do?"
Wang Zhenqiu touched his chin thoughtfully.
He seemed to have figured something out.
Not just him, everyone seemed to understand how to communicate with Chen Duo after experiencing this scene.
Lao Meng also suddenly realized something and felt frightened in his heart.
This sentence sounded like she was asking them to give her an order, just like Liao Zhong once did...
But wouldn’t this be making the same mistakes again! ?
"Women...are always duplicitous."
Wang Zhenqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and explained, "You must not make a decision, but give a choice!"
That's right, it's a choice.
It seemed that Ma Xianhong had guessed it right. He remembered that Zhang Chulan had reported to them the conversation he had with Ma Xianhong when they first came to the village, in which he mentioned Ma Xianhong's understanding of Chen Duo - this girl. I just want to have the power of 'choice' as 'Chen Duo'!
This girl has lived a life with no choice since she was born. Because her special experience has left her with a lack of expression of emotions and language, everyone ignores... No, it should be that there is no way to know her innermost thoughts. That's this desire for choice.
Even 'death' should be her own choice.
"Yes! Chen Duo! You have a choice!"
Although he had figured everything out, Lao Meng was still a little too anxious. After all, this was related to Chen Duo's fate.
But sometimes rushing for quick results can mess things up, just like now.
"You can choose to go back to the company with us! Go back! Don't worry, going back to the company is not necessarily the worst choice. I will never let them hurt you! I...I can apply to transfer the bunker! I...you... …You can also choose…”
As he talked, Lao Meng began to play the game incoherently.
Because he found that he seemed to have no other choice.
All he can do is take Chen Duo back to the company. Even the so-called transfer to the bunker or preventing the company from harming Chen Duo are things that cannot be guaranteed.
"You...you...you can still..."
For a moment, Lao Meng was speechless. He could only look around and ask for help from Xiao Zizai, Wang Zhenqiu and Hei Guaner, but he was met with silence.
Sure enough... these people couldn't give the best solution to Chen Duo's matter.
Faced with such silence, Chen Duo just raised his head and looked at the speechless Lao Meng with a smile.
Although his eyes were neither happy nor sad, Lao Meng felt that this was irony.
He felt that maybe he really did something wrong.
Maybe this girl shouldn't have been brought into this world from the beginning. Chen Duo's 'hatred' for him and Liao Zhong may not be unreasonable.
If you don't have the ability to take responsibility to the end, you probably shouldn't have done it in the first place.
They were kind enough to satisfy their ridiculous sympathy and think they had done a good thing... but in fact they only brought pain to this girl.
Just like Chen Duo's smile at the moment, he was clearly smiling, but there was no joy in his expression.
She should be...disappointed now, right?
Lao Meng began to fall into self-doubt and staggered back as if unable to stand firm.
boom.
He seemed to have encountered something.
As unshakable as a mountain.
Looking up, there was a face with a sarcastic smile.
Sun Haoran!
Yes, Lao Meng suddenly seemed to have grasped hope. He turned around and looked at the young man in front of him with a pleading look.
"You...do you have any idea?"
"Of course, that's what I'm here for."
Sun Haoran sighed slightly and patted Lao Meng's shoulder comfortingly, "Lao Meng, be firmer. I don't understand any big principles. I only know that... the so-called man should do what he says! Not just say Are you ready to save Chen Duo? What are you still afraid of now?"
"this……"
Lao Meng staggered away and watched helplessly as the man in front of him walked straight towards Chen Duo again.
The other party's words kept echoing in his mind like a devil's whisper.
Yeah, what am I afraid of?
Isn't it just to save a girl?
What's there to be afraid of?
Having said that...but...the company...
After thinking about it, Lao Meng seemed to be confused.
He wavered between his desire to save Chen Duo and the company's position.
Betray the company to save Chen Duo?
He himself didn't know why such terrible thoughts came to his mind.
But sometimes thoughts are like inner demons. Once they arise, they can never be let go.
Sun Haoran shook his head helplessly and glanced at the wavering Lao Meng. Although he felt a little sorry for the only 'good old man' among the temporary workers, it was also necessary.
No matter how solid the front line is, it will easily collapse once there are cracks.
It is obviously a very difficult problem to break down the psychological defenses of several temporary workers at the same time so that they have no choice but to stand on your side.
So there must be a breakthrough.
Lao Meng, who cares about Chen Duo, is the biggest gap in the lineup.
"You have another option."
Sun Haoran came to Chen Duo with a smile and stretched out his hand, "Follow me."
"Walk?"
A trace of confusion appeared on Chen Duo's calm face, "Where are you going?"
"This...you have to choose it yourself."
Sun Haoran still smiled, "For example, the place you want to go to most."
"I...but..."
Chen Duo's face became even more confused, "Is it really okay? You... no, they won't let me leave here, right?"
"Them? So what?"
The smile on Sun Haoran's face gradually faded, and before Chen Duo stretched out his hand to respond, he took back his hand and turned around, looking at the people on the opposite side expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan quickly pulled Feng Baobao back.
This is the last step.
What happens next is not something he and Sister Baoer should be involved in, so let's leave the stage to these unlucky temporary workers.
"You... know what you are talking about? Sun Haoran."
Black Guan'er frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to be like Ma Xianhong and become an enemy of the company?"
They completely didn't expect that this guy was not joking with them before, but was already prepared for this.
This is ridiculous.
So what if you are powerful?
How can you be the enemy of the entire company by yourself?
"Of course I know what I'm talking about."
Sun Haoran sneered, "Are you the ones who don't understand the situation?"
"Are you crazy, guy?"
"Crazy? What a good question. Is anyone here... normal?"
"..."
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
Sun Haoran looked around at the four temporary workers in front of him with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Everyone, if any of you think you are 'normal', why not come forward and let me take a look?"
"Tsk, isn't this the issue we are discussing now!?"
Black Guan'er smacked his lips slightly, "What you are doing now is because of Chen Duo, and you plan to betray the company! Do you know the consequences!?"
"as a result of?"
Sun Haoran asked back, lighting up his lava-like red-gold eyes.
At the same time, the dark crystalline substance spread crazily on his body as if alive, and soon the armor that impressed several people appeared in front of them again.
Looking at the intimidating boy's hole and feeling the terrifying momentum coming towards them, several people involuntarily took a few steps back.
Are you... really preparing for war?
