The image above is the "Soul Imprint" pattern drawn by him.
Now he was even more certain that the handbag belonged to Cheng Yuqiu.
"Oh no! She's in trouble!" Nie Qingyun instantly looked up at the top of the main building, the paper in his hand crumpled into a ball.
Chapter Thirty-Two: The Coming Hero's Appearance
"Ding!"
As expected, the long sword in Cheng Yuqiu's hand was easily knocked away.
The person was also knocked to the ground.
"You bastard..." The chubby boy's eyebrows twitched, and he withdrew his attack stance.
He never expected that Cheng Yuqiu would rush over so recklessly because of a tattered handbag.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of Cheng Yuqiu, but he was filled with awe for Qin Hehuan.
If a zombie is accidentally let in, as long as it is dealt with in time, Qin Hehuan won't say anything even if she finds out.
However, the issue of maliciously harming teammates is managed very strictly.
From the very beginning of this survivor team, Qin Hehuan stipulated that she would be responsible for resolving any irreconcilable conflicts between the members. No one was allowed to use force against their members without authorization; if anyone was found doing so, they would be considered an enemy of the entire team.
Therefore, this matter should not be blown out of proportion.
Seeing this, the others also gave up their desire to watch the spectacle and left one after another.
The chubby boy glared at Cheng Yuqiu, then picked up the other's weapon from the ground and turned to leave without a word.
The commotion was quite loud, so a lot of zombies have gathered near the isolation fence, and the cleanup work has to be postponed for the time being.
Gradually, only Cheng Yuqiu remained in the corridor.
The sound of a gentle breeze passing through the window, and the unintelligible growls of the zombies.
"hateful……"
Cheng Yuqiu sat up from the ground, her legs turned to the side.
Even though I tried my best, why did I end up failing to protect anything?
"We were clearly comrades who were fleeing together..."
Why am I being targeted like this...?
And those who stood by indifferently formed a stark contrast to the figures I remembered waving glow sticks incessantly in the audience.
"Da da da."
The sound of shoes tapping on the floor could be heard in the empty corridor at some point.
Only the Linjiangtai summer women's shoes make this sound.
"I once heard this saying..."
A clear, slightly authoritative voice came from nearby. Cheng Yuqiu subconsciously looked up and met Qin Hehuan's eyes, which were devoid of any emotion.
"The total amount of good and evil in the world is constant. Even if you temporarily restrain those evil souls through laws and morality, they will intensify their evil deeds at some point in the future."
"Instead of doing that, it would be better to let them slowly release the darkness in their hearts from the beginning."
"So this is your excuse for letting these guys run rampant?" Cheng Yuqiu stared at Qin Hehuan with eyes full of anger.
In her eyes, the woman in front of her was just as despicable as those who had bullied her.
Qin Hehuan crossed her arms noncommittally; she could clearly sense the other person's hostility.
Her cousin was so simple-minded that she wore her emotions on her face without reservation.
Such a personality might have been fine in the past, but now it's the apocalypse, and without the support of those external halos, such a personality cannot survive.
After a moment of silence, Qin Hehuan slowly spoke:
Do you think those people were doing bad things or bullying you?
“Isn’t it?!”
"So what do you think bullying is?" Qin Hehuan's expression changed slightly; she gently curled the corners of her lips and continued:
"Ten people bullying one person is considered bullying."
"It's the same if a hundred people bully one person."
"What about a thousand or ten thousand people?"
Cheng Yuqiu was stunned for a moment, then questioned:
"Then it doesn't count?"
Qin Hehuan shook her head:
"It's justice..."
……
"Do you feel wronged...?"
"But human 'happiness' and 'unhappiness' both stem from comparison."
"If the people around you are happier than you."
"Then you will become that unfortunate person."
"So do you understand now?"
Even from your perspective, you haven't done anything.
"But your glamorous life has already made most people 'unhappy'."
"Who wants to listen to your nonsense!" Cheng Yuqiu knew herself well enough to know that she could never win an argument with this woman, so she glared at her.
"If this is all you've come here to tell me, then you can leave."
"These words weren't mine," Qin Hehuan said, looking down at him with a meaningful gaze, slowly uttering a name:
“Nie Qingyun… he used to submit quite a few interesting articles to the monthly magazine of Linjiangtai.”
Upon hearing Nie Qingyun's name, Cheng Yuqiu's heart tightened, and she involuntarily gripped the hem of her skirt.
There was no way around it; she had imagined this name in her mind hundreds and thousands of times.
Qin Hehuan noticed all of this reaction. She narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly, then suddenly spoke:
What happened between you and Nie Qingyun in the warehouse yesterday?
"I don't need to tell you!" Cheng Yuqiu suddenly became wary.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Qin Hehuan already had a general idea of the answer.
My guess was correct.
Nie Qingyun did not die.
Qin Hehuan was quite certain that she had planted a [soul imprint] on Nie Qingyun, but a day had passed and she had not received any feedback, so only the least likely possibility remained.
But how did he get rid of the [Soul Imprint] skill?
How did he survive?
This is what Qin Hehuan is most concerned about right now.
However, she had no patience to linger any longer and spoke directly:
"The people who went out on the mission have returned."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuqiu's eyes lit up:
"Nie Qingyun is back? Where is he?!"
"It's Liu Zhenyu."
Qin Hehuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly onto Cheng Yuqiu's heart, but what she said next was even harder for Cheng Yuqiu to accept.
"He chose you as the 'reward' for this."
"No, no!"
Cheng Yuqiu's eyes widened, and she refused decisively.
But Qin Hehuan had no intention of listening to her opinion and was already preparing to turn around and leave.
Just then, Cheng Yuqiu suddenly remembered what Nie Qingyun had told her before he left, and said directly:
"Nie Qingyun went to the laboratory building to look for the radio!"
Qin Hehuan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
efficient!
Seeing this, Cheng Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, Qin Hehuan started walking again.
"Wait a moment!"
As the other person walked further and further away, Cheng Yuqiu's heart suddenly panicked.
If things had gone according to plan, she should have shown the other person the piece of paper with the strange drawing at this point.
However, the paper had already been thrown downstairs.
Suddenly, the classroom door next to them opened, and a figure walked out.
Liu Zhenyu, hands in his pockets and a wicked smile on his face, brushed past Qin Hehuan:
"So, she belongs to me tonight, right?"
Qin Hehuan did not stop, which was tantamount to responding.
Liu Zhenyu became excited, his lewd gaze seeming to want to devour the girl in front of him through the air.
Cheng Yuqiu's heart clenched, and she didn't know what to do.
A black drone suddenly flew past the window, a flash of red light appearing on its fuselage.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yuqiu received a prompt in her mind:
[A communication request from outside the system has been detected. Do you want to answer now?]
Chapter Thirty-Three: A Girl with Absolute Determination
[A communication request from outside the system has been detected. Do you want to answer now?]
what is this? !!
Cheng Yuqiu was startled by the information that suddenly appeared in her mind.
I thought I was hallucinating because I was too nervous, but the message kept flashing.
Even though she tried to distract herself, the message wouldn't leave her mind.
Most people don't dare to try things they don't know, and Cheng Yuqiu was no exception.
But Liu Zhenyu was slowly approaching her, and soon she would be dragged into a dark little room. Just thinking about it terrified her.
Nothing could be worse than this now.
With a "let's give it a try" attitude, the girl chose to answer the call.
The next second, a very familiar voice appeared in her mind.
"Your Highness, could you please answer the phone a little faster next time?"
!
Cheng Yuqiu's heart skipped a beat. Perhaps because she was so looking forward to it, she recognized Nie Qingyun's voice in an instant.
For a moment, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak steadily.
"Nie Qingyun!"
"You...you...you...you...you're still alive!"
"That's great!"
"Are you back?!"
"wrong!"
