"It's getting dark." Ying Ji pulled Shi Sheng up. "Many things appear in the desert at night. The nearest base is 50 kilometers away. We won't be able to make it today. Let's find a place to hide first."
"Ying Ji, there's a group of rocks over there." Ying Sheng ran over from afar. "We can go over there."
"Okay."
Seeing Ying Ji agree, Ying Sheng immediately beamed with joy.
Shi Sheng glanced at Ying Sheng strangely. Ying Sheng snorted and packed his things to leave.
Shi Sheng's mouth twitched. He poked Ying Sheng. "Hey, don't you think Ying Sheng is weird?" Did this brat really like Ying Ji?
What did it feel like to like himself?
And this maneuver, too, was awesome.
# My love rival is my wife. What should I do? Waiting online. Urgent #
"I can't read all of his thoughts." Ying Ji's expression darkened. "He's growing very quickly. Don't interact with him alone."
"What did you give him when you created him?" Shi Sheng lowered his voice. "There's something in his body that belongs to you. You have to take it back."
"Something that belongs to me?" Ying Ji was surprised. He tried to recall. "I didn't …"
His eyes darkened. He obviously thought of something. He gripped Shi Sheng's hand. "Let's find a place to rest first."
…
[Host, don't you feel guilty at all?] The System asked.
"What do you mean?"
[Although Ying Sheng is an AI, he already has his own thoughts. He's like a living person. He even has Feng Ci's aura in him. How can you do this to him?] This multiple-choice question was a very difficult one for many people.
But for the Host … it wasn't difficult at all.
Although she was a bit irritated at the start, she had always been in contact with Shadow Sacrifice. She avoided Shadow Sacrifice if she could and ignored him if she couldn't. No matter if it was her words or actions, there was nothing that could be misunderstood. This proved that she was firmly on Shadow Sacrifice's side from the start.
But did she really not hesitate at all?
"Indecisiveness leads to trouble. Do you think I'm someone who would make such a low-level mistake?" Shi Sheng snorted.
[…] Okay, the Host really isn't.
This system has nothing to say, please continue.
While Shi Sheng was talking to the System, they had already reached the group of rocks. The location in the middle was very good. It could shelter them from the wind and sand. The location was also quite high, so they did not have to worry about being attacked by desert creatures. It was a very good shelter.
Shi Sheng went up first and made sure it was safe to let them come up.
The sky darkened bit by bit, and the temperature plummeted. The cold wind blew straight into their bodies.
Ying Ji pulled Shi Sheng into his arms. Ying Sheng sat on the edge and glanced at the two of them before looking away as if nothing had happened.
"Huan 'er …" Grandpa Yu called out hoarsely, "Come here."
Shi Sheng moved to Grandpa Yu's side, and Grandpa Yu looked at Shadow Priest. "Little Priest, you come over too."
When the two of them were by his side, Grandpa Yu sighed sadly. "This matter has nothing to do with you. Xiao Ji, take Huan 'er to the north tomorrow and find Huan' er's parents. They will protect you."
"Is Xiaye scary?" Shi Sheng was confused.
Grandpa Yu's eyes were cloudy. He shook his head and said, "Xiaye isn't scary. What's scary is his ability."
When Xiaye was very young, he was still living in Glorious Base. His parents were ordinary people. When they were in Glorious Base, they belonged to the lower class and were often bullied. Because they were weak, in order to survive, Xiaye's parents could only endure.
Even though Glorious Base had rules, there were always areas that could not be monitored in such a big base.
Once, Xiaye's mother was raped by a few people. This incident did not get out of hand because those people who raped her had backing. In the end, Xiaye's mother washed her face with tears all day long.
Who would have thought that after a few days, someone would find out that those people had died tragically? In fact, with one look, it was obvious that it was not man-made.
Everyone practically turned the base upside down, but they could not find any traces of the desert creatures. Some people said that these people deserved their retribution. In order not to cause panic, the higher-ups gradually suppressed this matter.
However, after that, as long as anyone bullied Xiaye's parents, they would all die. The way they died was all torn to pieces by the desert creatures.
There was no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. The matter of Xiaye controlling the desert creatures was still exposed.
In the base, the desert creatures were the incarnation of the devil. Since Xiaye could command the devils, that meant that he was on the same side as the devil. The people in the base were furious and wanted to execute Xiaye.
The higher-ups felt that Xiaye's ability could actually be used, but at that time, the public was too angry. If it was not handled well, it could very well cause a riot. In the end, the higher-ups discussed and decided that if Xiaye was willing to be used by them, they would think of a way to save his life. If he was unwilling, they could only appease the public's anger.
Of course, Xiaye was unwilling and thought of a way to escape.
However, those people caught his parents and used them to threaten them. In order to prevent Xiaye from being threatened, his parents ended their own lives.
They forced Xiaye's parents to their deaths and completely angered Xiaye. At that time, Xiaye could not control too many desert creatures. Because of his anger, he summoned too many desert creatures. Instead, he was devoured and buried alive by the desert creatures.
They all thought that Xiaye was dead, but unexpectedly, he was still alive.
Not only did he not die, but he even came back for revenge.
Grandpa Yu trembled as he grabbed Shi Sheng's arm. "Huan Er, leave tomorrow. Don't stay here. Back then, Xiaye's ability already made us afraid. Now, his ability has increased many times. Grandpa can't let you stay here."
"It's not up to us to leave now." Shi Sheng patted the back of Grandpa Yu's wrinkled hand. "Grandpa, don't worry. No one in this world can take my life."
"Huan Er!" Grandpa Yu's face was stern. "I'm not scaring you. You have no idea how scary Xiaye's ability is. You're the only heir of the Yu family. I can't let anything happen to you. "
"Haven't we already seen it before?" Shi Sheng spread his hands. The incident at Glory Base was most likely the male lead's doing, but why did he look for her before? Could it be that he wanted to use her to threaten Grandpa Yu and let him have a taste of how it felt to be controlled by someone else?
Most avengers would have such a mentality.
However, Xiaye was the male lead. His thoughts should not be so superficial …
Shi Sheng thought about a few possibilities in his heart, but he felt that something was not quite right.
Perhaps he was just that superficial?
Sometimes, one could not think too much.
"Xiao Ji, I'll leave Huan Er to you. You must send her to her parents safely. Please." Grandpa Yu could not persuade Shi Sheng, so he just entrusted Shi Sheng to the Shadow Priest.
