The weather in June changed abruptly, going from sunny to overcast and windy in an instant. It was unreasonable.
The howling wind seemed determined to blow the two of them off the cliff, causing a tree as thick as a bowl to be uprooted and tumble away, rolling on the ground.
Some broken branches and leaves turned into sharp blades under the force of the wind, leaving their marks on the two of them.
Liu You'er heard the noise and twitched her ears, her mind racing between thoughts about how terrible the weather was today, feeling sorry for Liu Yue's injuries, and wondering how long Xuan Mo would take to climb up. She just couldn't focus.
Liu Yue looked at the woman across from her, who seemed like a completely different person from before she fell. One pupil was red, the other black; her nails were black, her teeth sharp and dirty, and her body was covered in a disgusting dark purple liquid.
Not only that, but she was also riddled with wounds of various sizes and emanated a strange, foul odor.
She should have felt disgusted and even gleeful at her misfortune, but why did she feel such pain for her? Why did she wait here just to see that she was still alive? Why did she end up looking like this?
Her head felt like it was about to explode, as if something was about to burst forth, yet nothing came out...
So she could only tell herself that it was all an act to deal with Liu Xinxuan. She had always liked taking things from her sister; similar situations had happened before, and in the end, it turned out that she really fell...
Even though this speculation had many flaws, she still wanted to believe it and firmly thought that if Liu Yue was alive, she would definitely want revenge on her...
She had initially decided that when Liu Yue climbed up, she would mock her first and then kick her down again. But when she saw her at that moment, all those thoughts vanished. All that remained was surprise—so much surprise that she didn't know what expression to make, so much surprise that she choked up, so much surprise that it felt unbelievable.
Yet the other party simply said casually, "Hmm, do we still need to fight?"
His fists tightened slightly, making a faint sound of bones rubbing together, his face tense as he looked at the other person's cold and distant expression.
Liu You'er had thought a lot while standing at the edge of the cliff. She knew clearly that even if the taste, personality, and appearance were all the same, the person before her was no longer her Liu Yue. The real Liu Yue had long since...
"Why?"
"Who exactly are you?"
"Who am I... really?"
The last question successfully furrowed Liu You'er's brows, causing a pang in her heart. She took a few steps forward, looking into the struggling eyes of the other person. Her hand slowly reached toward his face, filled with a mix of longing and the joy of having something lost returned.
Her greatest happiness was to live a simple life with her family. She didn't want much; she just wanted to maintain her true self in this complicated society and live according to her own wishes.
When the apocalypse broke out, she was different. If humans discovered her true nature, she would surely be captured and used as a lab rat. But so what? As long as there was a chance for Liu Yue to become human again, everything would be worth it.
But in the end, she lost him and herself, her hands stained with blood. This time might be the last opportunity...
"Dodge!"
"Swish!"
Hundreds of branches surged from all directions, shooting toward Liu You'er.
She did not hesitate for a moment; her limbs were instantly bound tightly and lifted high into the air. A vine pierced through her Dantian, shattering her Ability into pieces, causing excruciating pain that left her breathless.
However, she did not show a hint of complaint; only a fleeting sadness flashed in her eyes.
Liu Yue did not want to say anything, his eyes reddening with rage as he stared at the black blood flowing from the vines and said, "If you can walk, why did you come back?!"
Unfortunately, Liu You'er did not even glance at him and remained silent.
Veins bulged on his forehead as he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think I won't kill you like this?!"
But the other party still did not speak, as if she had fallen asleep.
Suddenly, Xiao Hong's body expanded dozens of times, glowing with radiant colors and surrounded by red flames. It looked beautiful, but anything within half a meter of it instantly turned to ashes.
"Chirp!"
It flapped its wings and positioned itself in front of Liu You'er, holding a fist-sized red orb in its mouth, aimed at Liu Yue, ready to strike.
"Cough cough~ Xiao Hong."
Liu You'er lifted her face, stopped Xiao Hong, and smiled slightly, saying, "You can't kill me now, can you?"
Liu Yue was taken aback, feeling as if all his strength had been drained away, as if he had punched a pile of cotton.
The other party understood his defenses and everything about him, as if she knew him better than he knew himself.
Indeed, he had doubted her and set up a trap in advance—a trap that could directly kill an Ability user. He had gambled that she would dodge it; however, if she dodged it and it turned out like this, then it was himself...
Just consider it a repayment.
When he clearly saw her figure disappear, he felt a sense of relief, which indicated that his judgment was not wrong; she was indeed acting. But a second later, just as he was about to be shot full of holes, she returned!
She came back!!!
"Really... this time I won't kill you, consider it a repayment. Next time, I will definitely kill you!"
"Crack"
The device in his hand shattered, and those vines and branches seemed to instantly lose their strength, returning to their original state.
Liu Yue watched as Liu You'er, who almost fell to the ground, was caught by the Strange Bird. He secretly sighed in relief and quietly left, unaware that his retreating figure looked as if he was fleeing in embarrassment.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Evil people have their comeuppance. See? You asked me to climb up here, and now you're facing retribution~"
"Whoosh"
On the ground, Ant Face calmly pulled the vine out of his abdomen and coldly said, "I will take him back!"
There was no trace of sorrow on his face; it seemed like a routine matter. Then he continued speaking to the person behind him, "You can also tell me what your purpose is this time."
Underground Base
Liu Yue stood silently, watching Liu Xinxuan go through another painful treatment. His heart ached and felt confused.
He quickly supported her, who looked weak, and asked with concern, "Sister, how are you feeling this time? Do you think Ability has reacted?"
Liu Xinxuan gave a faint smile with her pale face and said, "I was hurt too badly last time, so it won't heal that quickly. But the doctor said it will get better, so don't worry. By the way, I heard you ran into Liu You'er this time. Are you okay?"
Liu Yue frowned slightly and shook her head.
A flicker of dark light flashed in Liu Xinxuan's eyes, and she continued to express her concern, "Don't always think about getting revenge for me. She's been cunning since she was little and is good at reading people and manipulating hearts. I'm worried you might get hurt. I heard that even the wooden crystal device was damaged this time. Did you get injured?"
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Sister, you're becoming more and more like a nagging mother."
Liu Xinxuan rolled her eyes and replied, "Ungrateful! I'm just worried about you! Listen to me, I only hope for your safety; everything else doesn't matter, got it?"
Liu Yue lowered her head, making her expression hard to read, and simply muttered an "mm," but inside she felt incredibly guilty.
Liu Xinxuan knew she had succeeded in her intention and didn't say more, fearing it would have the opposite effect. She changed the topic to share interesting things happening in the lab. Their conversation flowed back and forth harmoniously.
However, deep inside, turmoil was brewing as her nails dug deeply into her flesh.
"Liu You'er, just wait!"
