The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Qi Su kept spreading his hands, then suddenly lay back and hit the ground hard! !
Mu Tang looked at him silently and did not take the initiative to speak.
Qi Su waited with heart in his heart for a long time, waiting for the angry curse, or the hateful taunt, or even the cold words. It was impossible for Mu Tang to talk to him calmly.
However, no.
Nothing at all.
During this silent minute and second, Qi Su even felt panicked. Rather than waiting, he was more looking forward to Mu Tang speaking.
Looking forward to that moment when the dust settles.
As for Mu Tang, her eyes were also full of complexity, and her mouth opened and closed several times, but she was unable to say a single word.
She hasn't thought about what angle she should stand at or what kind of eyes she should use to face him.
"Why, aren't you going to do something?"
Qi Su finally couldn't hold himself back and spoke first:
"You two probably hate me to the core, why don't you take this opportunity to kill me?"
Lu Yan's hand held the gun tightly. To be honest, he really wanted to shoot at this second.
He touched Mu Tang's head and said in a deep voice:
"I'll wait for you in front."
Mu Tang lowered his head and nodded, unable to see the expression on his face.
After Lu Yan walked away, Mu Tang slowly walked up to Qi Su's head, lowered his head, looked directly into Qi Su's wide eyes, and asked coldly:
"Even if Li Si asks you to do something, you don't have to kill so many people, let alone use such cruel methods. You don't have to do those things, so why?"
Qi Su grinned widely, revealing his sharp and gleaming tiger fangs. Then he reached out and covered his eyes, blocking Mu Tang's probing sight. Intermittent laughter overflowed from his throat!
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
Mu Tang frowned and continued to ask:
"You seem to have a lot of hatred for soldiers..."
"Yes!!!" Qi Su suddenly put down his hand, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred:
"These people are hypocritical and don't keep their promises. Damn them!!!!"
Mu Tang paused and said slowly:
"I understand clearly what happened back then. The soldiers who passed by you belonged to Shanglan Base, which was the first place Li Si used as a cemetery. In order to test the virus, there were a total of 120,000 people from soldiers to survivors, all—"
Mu Tang had a lump in his throat:
"All infected, no one survived, they have no way to keep the agreement."
In fact, even Mu Tang could find out about this matter. She didn't believe that Qi Su, as Li Si's minion, really knew nothing about it.
"I don't believe it." Qi Su turned his head and said coldly.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Mu Tang continued:
"Actually, I learned some other things from Gao Dongye, such as when Li Si hinted at you..."
"Stop talking!!" Qi Su's high-pitched voice quickly interrupted Mu Tang's words.
Mu Tang squinted his eyes, then realized something, and said in shock:
"you know?!"
Qi Su refused to say anything anymore. He got up from the ground and turned around to walk towards the cage.
Mu Tang grabbed him and shouted:
"Don't run away, tell me clearly!! Have you known it for a long time? Now that you know it, why do you still do it?"
Qi Su turned around fiercely and held Mu Tang's shoulders. His whole face seemed to be crying, but there was not a single tear:
"Yes, I know! But what can I do if I know?! A lot of things have been done, what can I do?!"
He knew it, he understood it, but some things had been done and there was no way to undo it, so what else could he do? !
"As soon as I saw them, I was filled with hatred, and my anger burned out all my reason. I couldn't calm down at all!!"
Mu Tang said nonchalantly:
"I can help you remove the hint..."
"No!!" Qi Su refused quickly, let go of Mu Tang's shoulders and took a step back. His face was dazed for a moment, and then he shook his head:
"Need not!"
This is really an unexpected answer. If it were before, Mu Tang would not be able to understand it, but now...
Mu Tang tilted his head and said firmly:
"You are afraid that after the hint is lifted, you will never be able to face yourself again."
Qi Su had known about it for a long time, but by that time many things had become a foregone conclusion, and he couldn't control himself at all. Instead of doing this, Qi Su simply pretended that he didn't know.
In this way, you don't have to face the guilt deep in your heart, let alone suffer from the intertwining of reason and anger.
If Qi Su could not help himself before learning about this incident, then Qi Su who still did those things after learning about this incident was completely deceiving himself and others, unwilling to face reality, and inflicting suffering on innocent people.
It would be great if he didn't know. If he didn't know, he wouldn't have to suffer the guilt of his conscience. If he didn't know, he would be able to complete the things Li Si asked him without any burden.
Qi Su raised his hand and touched his face, lowered his eyes and saw that it was dry and without tears.
He couldn't even shed tears.
Mu Tang took a deep breath:
"You really are..."
"It's really disgusting, isn't it?" Qi Su accepted her words and smiled hastily:
"Ever since I found out that he had given me the hint, I suffered for a long time. When I killed someone, I hesitated but it was fleeting. After the killing, I struggled with guilt hypocritically. It was extremely ridiculous."
"Then I thought, there's nothing I can do anyway, I have to do it anyway, it's better to pretend I never knew about it. This way, I can protect myself without having to suffer every day."
Qi Su's frank weakness made Mu Tang feel that he was disgusting for a second. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word:
"What about Xiao Yan? Did you hesitate for even a second when you made your move?!"
Have you hesitated?
Qi Su looked confused, raised his hand and scratched his hair angrily:
"Have you ever hesitated? Have you... No, no? I seem to have lost consciousness. I just remember that I was in a frenzy in my mind, always wanting to reach out and tear the people in front of me into pieces, and then I did it... Haha..."
"That's enough!!" Mu Tang didn't want to listen anymore, nor did he want to talk to Qi Su anymore.
Just as she was about to turn around, Qi Su suddenly grabbed her by the corner of her clothes, his expression extremely serious:
"Mu Tang, I know you don't want to talk to me anymore, but you must listen to me, you must listen to my words, and don't kill Li Si again. You have his spiritual mark on you. You will both be prosperous and suffer. Kill If you know him, you will also..."
Speaking of this, Qi Su suddenly hesitated:
"Wait, that's not right..."
Mu Tang frowned and looked at him:
"what are you saying?"
Qi Su's expression changed:
"You have a dual personality. Li Si's spiritual imprint is not on you, but on the other Mu Tang. You will be fine if Li Si dies. On the contrary, he will take away your other consciousness and the control of this body. The power will be completely handed over to you!!"
Psychic powers, in layman's terms, are super-limit feedback of consciousness and are not limited by physical rules.
Just like Mu Tang is the owner of Mu Tang, Mu Tang is also the one who imprints its spirit, so there is no way for another Mu Tang to make Ni Ba surrender.
Similarly, Li Si's spiritual imprint exists in another consciousness of Mu Tang and cannot affect the current Mu Tang.
Qi Su continued:
"If Li Si dies, you will be fine, and don't worry about the control of your body anymore..." At this point, Qi Su suddenly thought of another Mu Tang.
The short period of time we spent together at the experimental station was vivid in his mind, as if it was yesterday that the other person put the chocolate into his mouth, and the rich sweet smell made him unable to forget it.
But……
The reason why he got along so well with each other at the experimental station was based on the fact that he first met Mu Tang. If he hadn't learned supernatural powers with Mu Tang, sat on the ruins together and looked at the extinguishing stars in the sky; if it hadn't been for letting him Mu Tang studied obediently, and he deliberately searched everywhere for snacks, just to see the moment of satisfaction when Mu Tang puffed out his cheeks and ate.
He thought that he would not have too much interaction with Mu Tang in the experimental station. After all, before that, they were two lines that had never overlapped.
Qi Su caught Mu Tang. No matter what, he wanted Mu Tang to live.
Although he had no words, Mu Tang could still understand Qi Su's meaning from his eyes. He suddenly took a step back and shook his head in rejection:
"No!!!!"
Qi Su's originally complicated mood was completely shattered by this unexpected rejection, and he looked at Mu Tang in surprise.
Mu Tang retracted his hand, his eyes confused:
"Why? Why does everyone always abandon her so easily? Why, no one has ever chosen her?! We are obviously the same, and we all exist in this world, why do we always have to let her become a victim?!"
She saw those memories, and she felt the same pain, the loneliness and pain of not being chosen.
Even though the two of them should be naturally competing beings, Mu Tang still regards the other as a part of herself and as a relative.
This unexpected question completely confused Qi Su. No matter how he guessed, he would never have thought of such an incredible reason for Mu Tang's refusal.
No one would have guessed that Mu Tang actually felt a family-like attachment to the other self in her body and was unwilling to let go.
Mu Tang took two steps back, turned around and left quickly.
Qi Su stared at her back blankly, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Yan, who had appeared behind them at some point:
"She...how could she do this?"
Lu Yan put his hands in his pockets and looked at the direction Mu Tang left with a deep look:
"She has always wanted a family. I can't take the place of everyone around her. She needs other family members, such as another self in her body, as she admitted; she also needs friends..."
Lu Yan's eyes turned and fell on Qi Su, who had a stunned look on his face:
"Such as you."
Qi Su shook his head, trying to get rid of all the shaking that Mu Tang's words had just caused in his heart:
"This can't be like this. Li Si must not stay. There is no other way. Mu Tang is ignorant, so you won't be ignorant too, right?"
Lu Yan was silent for a moment:
"I respect her choice."
"What about the others?!" Qi Su asked him, and seemed to be asking himself:
"Don't you respect other people's lives? As long as Li Si lives, he will create various virus disasters and people will continue to die."
It's funny to say that the murderer was questioning the survivors' defenders at this time.
"...There will be other ways." Lu Yan whispered.
"There is no other way!!" Qi Su shouted sharply:
"Even if there is another way, it is too late. Someone will die every minute and every second of hesitation!! You must make a choice!!" He would also make a choice himself.
The choice to follow Li Si towards destruction.
"Anyway... think about it carefully." Qi Su said and returned to his cage.
Lu Yan was left alone, taking out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lighting it and taking a long puff, his face clearly disappearing in the smoke.
