“Shhh. This is our secret.” (2)
He lay stiffly on the bed like a corpse, unable to make a sound or a movement. Imprisoned in this heavy body of flesh, he could only turn his eyes and stare at the demon insect in front of him in horror.
The sound of footsteps drifted away from the door.
Duan Hua watched in despair as Shi An returned to the position just now and even adjusted the height of the chair unhurriedly so that he could sit more comfortably.
Immediately afterwards, Shi An turned to look at him curiously.
He asked, “Why are you doing this?”
Duan Hua was trembling, staring at the “evil ghost” with frightened eyes.
Shi An placed his elbows on the table, resting his cheeks in his palms and tilting his head slightly. He seemed puzzled and said, “I understand that humans are very complex creatures, but it’s really strange. We don’t even know each other. If I had been eaten by monsters, what good would it have been to you?”
“You’re not going to tell me? Alright, whatever.”
After all, Shi An didn’t really want to know the answer that much.
Humans were really weird. When he regained his strength and took that shiny human into his collection, he would never deal with humans again.
He would find another cave and continue his unfinished dream from last time.
Shi An thought about it and asked, “By the way, how did you get that monster bait?”
He felt that it was not the first time he had encountered such a thing.
In the last simulation test, he encountered a few puppet worms. After losing their queen, they continued to survive. They must have been powered by something else. The behavior of those puppet insects was very similar to the monster group in the true combat arena that day.
Duan Hua was silent, staring at him with trembling eyeballs.
Shi An tilted his head, a little distressed, “Still not gonna tell me?”
He stretched out his hand, and his cold fingers fell lightly on the other’s wrist, just like that day.
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!”
Duan Hua’s whole body trembled violently, as if his whole body was thrown into the flames, and his noises turned to suppressed and painful grunts in his throat.
But he remained silent.
Shi An narrowed his eyes.
“MMMMMMMMMMM…”
This time, Duan Hua barely made a sound. His pupils rolled up until only the whites of his eyes were showing. He twitched.
Shi An couldn’t help but admire him.
Although he deliberately restrained the intensity of his flames, it was not easy for an opponent to endure two waves.
It seemed that humans are not as weak as he had thought before.
Just as he was about to continue, the insect couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “I think it might not be that he doesn’t want to say it, it’s that he can’t say it.”
Shi An was stunned.
Oh right…
He suddenly remembered that he had restricted Duan Hua’s vocal organs just now to prevent Duan Hua from screaming.
Shi An quickly removed the restrictions and looked at the human guiltily, embarrassedly whispering,
“Sorry, I forgot…”
Duan Hua: “…”
He didn’t even have the strength to roll his eyes.
“So, are you willing to tell me?”
The young man in front of him put on a negotiable expression, but Duan Hua now knew very well what a terrifying monster was hidden under that seemingly-harmless skin.
Under such overwhelming power, he was like fish on the chopping board, and there was no other option except for cooperation.
Almost as if he were afraid of the other party’s repentance, he nodded weakly and said in a hoarse and trembling voice,
“I… I am willing, I will tell you anything… please…”
———————————————–
Shi An walked out of the ward and closed the door behind him.
The two doctors were walking down the corridor. When they saw Shi An, they greeted them with concern, “How was it? Your visit is over? Has the misunderstanding with your classmate been resolved?”
Before waiting for Shi An’s answer, the doctors suddenly realized that the patient who had been whining non-stop was extraordinarily quiet
Shi An smiled at them and said, “Yup, it’s resolved.”
After speaking, he waved at the doctors and walked in the direction he came from.
Behind Shi An, the two doctors opened the ward, only to see Duan Hua sitting up—his face ashen, eyes dodging and shrinking.
“How do you feel, do you still feel burning?
“N…no.”
Duan Hua shuddered and shook his head, saying “Before, before, I was just frightened, so I was talking nonsense. In fact, these are all my hallucinations, I understand…”
Further away—
The insect crawled out of Shi An’s sleeve, a little unsatisfied, and asked “Sir, you’re letting him go already?”
Shi An said calmly, “Yes.”
He glanced at the insect reproachfully.
“What do you think I am? A murderer?”
He continued solemnly, “We live in a society ruled by law.”
Insect: “…”
Was the TV program about court processions actually helpful?
Shi An continued, “Also, I left a drop of my blood in his body. As long as he has any unruly thoughts or actions, no matter how far apart we are, I can instantly turn him into ashes, and I can guarantee that the process is very long and painful.”
Insect: “…”
Apparently not.
