An hour later,
Liu Xiaojiang, under Gao Lian's lead, followed him to an underground area of Lian Men Port. In a hall full of electronic equipment, he saw the current Er Zhuang with his own eyes.
Inside the treatment vessel,
A weak girl who only had her upper body and didn't even have her hands and forearms lay in the vessel with her eyes closed. Her hair was also pale and lifeless.
Her entire body was filled with tubes to maintain her bodily functions..
Seeing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang really didn't know how he should face it. At this moment, when he recalled how cheerful Er Zhuang was when she communicated with him through words, he suddenly felt as if something was blocking his heart.
Then..,
He came to the treatment vessel in the room alone and touched the cold transparent container wall with his hand. He couldn't believe that the seemingly cheerful and lively Er Zhuang actually needed such a thing to maintain her life.
"This is..."
Gao Lian looked at his daughter in the container and reached out to lower the brim of his hat. He said, "This is the current Er Zhuang. If she leaves the treatment pod, she will soon leave this world."
"Who is it?"
Liu Xiaojiang stroked the container wall of the treatment pod and observed the extremely weak Er Zhuang. His eyes gradually turned cold.
At this moment..,
Although Liu Xiaojiang didn't know Er Zhuang, nor did he know Gao Lian and the so-called Gao family, through the previous few pleasant conversations, he had long sensed that Er Zhuang didn't have any ill intentions towards him.
After all..,
Er Zhuang's ability was clearly so heaven-defying. If he said that he didn't notice anything unusual on his side, he wouldn't believe it no matter what. Because before coming into contact with a mutant like Er Zhuang..,
He almost never paid attention to the electronic equipment on the street.
For some things, he only needed to investigate the surveillance records of Lian Men Port Street, and Er Zhuang could easily see the abnormality on his body.
Now..,
The company didn't conduct any investigation when it came into contact with strange people.
No one would choose to believe such words.
Liu Xiaojiang naturally wouldn't believe that the company hadn't investigated him. The reason why the higher-ups hadn't come to ask so far was that he felt that this was either because the company had other intentions towards him, or..,
It was that Er Zhuang had never revealed the specific situation that he had investigated.
Now, compared to the former..,
He was obviously more willing to believe the latter..,
The malice of humans was indeed difficult to fathom,
However, looking at the broken body of the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imagine how this girl could still maintain such a sunny and cheerful attitude.
This world was already filled with malice towards her.
Other than kindness …
There was probably no reason that could explain it.
On the other side.
When Gao Lian heard Liu Xiaojiang's question and saw the expression in Liu Xiaojiang's eyes, he naturally understood why he would ask such a question. However, he only silently shook his head.
Liu Xiaojiang saw that Gao Lian was silent and couldn't help but frown deeply. "Old Gao, don't you want revenge?"
Hearing this,
Gao Lian lowered the brim of his hat again. "Now, compared to revenge, I hope that Er Zhuang can return to his former self."
"You …"
"Old man, let me talk to Xiao Jiang alone."
Liu Xiaojiang was just about to find out why Gao Lian was so cowardly when he suddenly heard an unfamiliar clear female voice in the room. Through the tone … he knew that this should be the sound made by Er Zhuang through the electronic device.
"Okay, try not to take too long."
When Gao Lian heard Er Zhuang's words, he first stared at Liu Xiaojiang for a long time. Then, he took the initiative to leave the room with a few other people who looked like doctors.
..
In the hall that was filled with electronic devices,
Liu Xiaojiang sat calmly on a certain operating step and said, "Is this your original voice?"
"Uh … of course not. This is just a voice that I simulated through electromagnetic waves. In terms of timbre, it can only be said to be relatively similar to my own. How is it?
My voice is very nice, right? "
"Yes, it doesn't sound annoying." Liu Xiaojiang slowly raised the corners of his mouth. "Now, I already know that you have no ill intentions. Tell me."
"Why did you ask me to be a temporary worker?"
Gao Lian's attitude towards him not long ago when he came to see Er Zhuang meant that Er Zhuang's hiding place was actually a very big secret. If Er Zhuang hadn't insisted on Gao Lian bringing him here, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to see the real Er Zhuang.
Right now …
His biggest secret was already in front of him, and he was even unguarded to let him be alone with Er Zhuang.
Why did he have to be so suspicious?
Er Zhuang didn't answer this question immediately. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Xiao Jiang, I lied to you once before. Now …
We should be considered friends now, right? "
Hearing this …
Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He subconsciously glanced at the healing pod and nodded. "Yes, we're already friends."
"Hehe ~ ~ ~ That's good. I thought you would always be careful."
"…"
The corner of Liu Xiaojiang's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. Although he sympathized with Er Zhuang's current appearance and admired Er Zhuang's strong heart that remained cheerful and sunny, for Er Zhuang's personality that would occasionally overdo it,
For a moment, it was still difficult for him to get used to it.
"Er Zhuang, there's no need to change the topic. I want to know the real purpose of you looking for me."
"… Sob sob sob, Brother Xiao Jiang is bullying me."
"…"
"Hehe ~ ~ ~ Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, you already know my purpose. I'm here to let you do this temporary job for me, and I'll be your partner when you go out to do things. After all, you saw it too …"
"It's really inconvenient for me to do some things myself."
"Well, I understand. What does your father mean?"
"… Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that the old man feels that he needs your strength, so he wants to rope you in to work for us.
Even though the old man still thinks that I still have a chance to recover. "
"Is that so?" A trace of surprise flashed across Liu Xiaojiang's eyes. He couldn't think of anything in this world that could restore Er Zhuang's body to its original state. Even the modern medicine mentioned on the Internet was already very difficult to do to this extent.
"Er Zhuang, who hurt you like this? What has the ability to restore you? Does such a thing really exist in this world? "
"… Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry. I don't want you to get too involved in my affairs. You can just be a temporary worker with me in the company and perfectly handle the tasks assigned by the company. That's already a great help to me."
"Er Zhuang, you … should have already noticed the abnormality in my body, right?"
"…"
"Er Zhuang."
"… Hmm? What abnormality? Xiao Jiang also has a secret? What is it? "
"Is that so? Thank you, Er Zhuang. "
"Ah? … You're welcome. "
