Chapter 125
The next morning.
"Baiji! Where's Baiji?"
"I'm here, please don't make any noise in the quiet morning."
Dunnian walked up to her, handed her the phone, and took the cup from her hand.
"This is the news I just received. Did Mingguluo take action?"
"She shouldn't be able to come so fast." Bai Ji took a quick look and found that Shouguang's company was simply not open today.
"You can go ask her employees, although I don't think you can get any information from them... Oh, she has a secretary. If you can find that secretary, you should be able to get something out of him."
Baiji scratched her hair. There was nothing she could do now. Perhaps Shouguang had this idea in mind a long time ago. After all, there was no way Baiji would not hide the news he got from her from Mingguluo.
After this incident, Mingguluo should investigate the other party's character before considering cooperation, right?
-
Maybe just like Shouguang said, she doesn't like war and doesn't want to get involved in fighting.
For the next period of time, even if Mingguluo took action personally, he failed to find her and Lin Xiao.
This allowed Baiji to have some estimate of Shouguang's true strength.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere around Mingguluo has been very low, and no one dares to approach and provoke her at this time. Pingha simply does not show up.
Baiji had no intention of causing trouble for herself, and simply enjoyed the freedom of doing nothing. She never left the house, and her days and nights were reversed, so she was unaware of the world that she almost thought she had returned to Erlin.
"..."
Baiji was lying on the bed with his head off the bed and tilted back. It was not a very comfortable position.
No one came to see her, and no system bothered her.
Then, an idea suddenly came to me.
But wasn't that something wrong that suddenly appeared? She had actually been waiting for it.
Give up or accept...
When one of the young men finished his work and wanted to come to see Baiji, he found that Baiji was not in her room. However, no one noticed when she left or where she went.
Mingguluo didn't know either. Bai Su was locked in the laboratory all day because of the project and there was no news. Probably only Di Lin would know, but no one could find him at the moment.
It was half a year later that we heard the news about Emperor Lin again. When it came to Baiji, Emperor Lin remained silent, which made all those who tried to find Baiji return empty-handed without getting any news about Baiji.
There was no answer even as to whether she was okay.
Dunnian, who finally found Shouguang's secretary after much effort, was unable to force the other party to admit defeat. He then deeply realized how incompetent he was.
He has become proud and complacent in recent years because his talents are superior to his peers.
"Do you know Baiji's current situation?"
The other person stood coldly five meters away, like a deep and corrupt shadow.
"If you can't even take care of yourself, don't bother with others."
"Is Baiji with you?"
"Don't leave..."
The man glanced at him coldly and turned away.
"Bletilla striata..."
Where have you been?
-
"Actually, based on my understanding of Baiji, she doesn't seem like the type of person who would leave without saying goodbye." Bai Su put down the instrument in his hand and took off his glasses.
I had just come out of the laboratory when this brat came to me to ask about Baiji. She was not Baiji's parent, so how could she know.
"She always told at least one person where she was going."
"Ah, but that was her a long time ago."
"How long have you two known each other?" Jiang Zhu sat on a high chair beside him. He had his own things to do recently and seldom came to see Bai Su. He also learned about Bai Ji's affairs from Hua Po.
"It's been more than a hundred years." Bai Su was stunned, his eyes were blank, as if he was lost in memories.
"Hmm? It's been so long now."
"..." Jiang Zhu didn't expect Bai Su to give such an answer. She almost fell off her chair. "Don't you realize it yourself?"
Sure enough, as long as they have a long life, time is not worth mentioning in their eyes.
Are only short-lived people capable of cherishing time?
"By the way, didn't you sign that kind of contract with Baiji?" Dunnian and the others also knew about this matter, but Jiang Zhu knew more because she had more contact with Bai Su.
I don’t know where Di Lin got this kind of contract, which can actually parasitize the life of a fragile human being on another immortal species with almost no side effects.
——Don't touch my bottom line, I will try my best to satisfy all your needs... I will be of limited use to you.
The fragile, sick human girl crawled slowly to the front of the alien, grabbing "it" by its feet to prevent "it" from leaving. Even though she felt the pressure that could kill her in the next second, the girl did not let go.
——I don’t need humans.
——Even if you try your best to satisfy me, I still won't have any interest in you, not to mention that you can't even achieve that.
The girl knelt at the feet of the alien. Her knees and wrists were covered with scrapes and pebbles. The pain was gathering all the way to her throat.
Sticky and gross.
Want to vomit.
--Please.
please.
What was the alien's expression at that time? Because she kept her head down, the girl still didn't know what the alien was thinking at that time, nor did she know why the alien agreed to her almost unreasonable and boring request.
--OK.
?
The girl subconsciously wanted to look up, but the next second something seemed to appear suddenly and held her head down tightly, making it impossible for her to look up or even speak.
Perhaps seeking refuge and cooperation from alien races is an extremely foolish decision?
A hundred years have passed to this day, and Bai Su still remembers the pressure of that day. It was the closest she had ever been to death.
No congenital disease had ever made her feel so terrified.
"I did sign a life contract with her, but that doesn't mean I can monitor her location in real time, right? You don't have to worry too much about her. Even according to the age of the alien race, she is an adult spirit creature and can be responsible for the decisions she makes." Pulling herself away from the memories and noticing the boy's anxiety, Bai Su offered a rare kind word of comfort.
It wasn't like it was comforting though.
"No, what I mean is, aren't you afraid that she will suddenly die somewhere, and then you will also..."
Bai Su: “…”
Bai Su: "You are so rude."
Jiang Zhu: "...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to curse Baiji, nor did I mean to kill you." The young man scratched his head. If someone else was here, they would definitely not say it so bluntly to him.
"I understand your idea."
Bai Su understood his cheap apprentice and knew that he was just very bad at talking. Of course, his character was not that good either. He probably couldn't curse his "adoptive mother" and "master" to death.
"It's normal for ambitious people to want to keep living before they succeed, and I'm no exception." Bai Su supported his chin with his hand, speaking casually, talking about his own affairs as if he were talking about someone else.
"It's just that I have a very short life to begin with. I have already stolen a hundred years of time. I should be content, right?" Bai Su tilted her head and looked at the instruments she used for her experiments. These were her treasures, and most of the time, they were more important to her than Baiji.
Baiji also knows.
From the very beginning, the girl had no intention of completely dedicating herself to the alien race.
"Normally, I should keep an eye on Baiji and make sure she stays alive, so that I can also stay alive and realize my ideals and ambitions."
"But I don't want to do that."
This was her true thought, and had nothing to do with the fact that if she did this, Mingguluo and others would no longer let her live.
It’s just because she thought that the aliens who didn’t understand humans had expressed their attitudes without understanding her, so it would be too embarrassing for her to use some tricks again, right?
"All I can do is live my life to the best of my ability every day, so that even if this day is my last day, I will not regret it when I close my eyes..."
"that's enough."
Even in this more open and diverse era, the decision to entrust one's life to a foreign race is extremely foolish.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
Even though Bai Su has raised the status of ordinary humans to the level it is today, those who know that she has deals with aliens still don't trust her. Those who whisper behind Bai Su's back, afraid that she can't hear, are surveillance and warnings.
Bai Su had also been confused. The pain of being doubted by her compatriots made it difficult for her to fall asleep many nights, as if bugs were crawling into her body through her nose, mouth, eyes, and ears.
But this is the path she chose.
No regrets, no backing down.
This was her, crawling to the alien like a beast, kneeling at the alien's feet, breaking her dignity and swallowing it alive, and then that dignity turned into stone, cutting her throat, spitting it out one by one, and becoming this contract.
After that, she also lost her family, because they didn't understand her, so no one wished her well when she left.
Jiang Zhu opened her mouth, but still couldn't help but said: "...Uh, although I think it's not good to say this, but what you are saying now is just like deceiving yourself."
Since I can't change anything, I can only comfort and convince myself over and over again.
A woman who has the ambition to change the world and is willing to give everything, would have such an open-minded idea?
From what Jiang Zhu had known about Bai Su over the past ten years, she was aware that she had gone crazy, but she knew too well what a normal person looked like, so she disguised herself very well.
Now it seems that she has deceived herself by pretending to be an ordinary person every day.
Bai Su: “…”
Bai Su: "...So, I hate you."
The first time I saw you, I knew what kind of child you were. You were similar to me, yet completely different.
Baiji got these children from somewhere, but they all looked the same and were annoying.
They are special and have fully accepted this specialness. The most disgusting thing is that they are actually proud of it.
Jiang Zhu got down from the chair with an expression on her face.
"I'm sorry, Master."
"Actually, I hate you, too."
It's an indescribable feeling, but it happens from time to time.
Pingha's sarcasm and ridicule.
Mingguluo's contempt and cruelty.
Di Lin’s indifference and alienation.
And the disgust and pity from Bai Su, who seemed gentle and the most normal.
Hey.
Even Jiang Zhu, who was the slowest among the group, noticed it early on.
"I came here today just to make sure if there is any news about Baiji here. I have no other intention." The young man walked all the way to the door without looking at Bai Su again. "I'm really sorry if I made you unhappy."
"..."
"Why are you curious about where Baiji went? Even if you have news about Baiji, what does it matter? If something really happened, you can't do anything with your current level."
Perhaps because what everyone knew was finally revealed, the woman showed a different and sharper side of herself.
I wish I could turn my words into a knife and pierce through the boy's emotions.
Jiang Zhu pushed the door open with force, unconsciously using too much force, but he controlled himself and stopped at the door with his head down.
"You guys should grow up by now, right? Besides, you don't need Baiji at all now, right?"
The meaning is similar to the previous sentence, which is just questioning their position.
The aliens who have known Baiji for a long time and who have a contract with Baiji are not in a hurry. So what do these young men who don't need Baiji at all care about?
"It has nothing to do with whether we need her or not." The young man tilted his head slightly, not angered by the woman's words, and looked at his master calmly.
"It's just that when a family member goes out, you have to have some idea in your mind where she went."
"..."
——Bai Su, from now on you will be called Bai Su.
——Meaning? No meaning. I just like it.
——Ah, okay, if you think so.
——We will be a family from now on.
——Because we all have the surname Bai.
Isn't that what humans are all about? Sharing a surname, being family.
"That kid just said something nice, but he didn't show any apology at all."
Baiji, why don’t you give them the surname Bai?
Does this mean that they are not that important to you and you don’t care about them that much?
I am more important to you than they are to me.
Please - tell me.

"I said you can't get anything out of that old-fashioned woman. After all, even Mingguluo doesn't know."
Jiang Zhu lowered her head and just walked out of the experimental base when she heard an annoying voice.
"Liu Qing."
Annoying guy, acting like a peacock all day long.
"Stop talking about those useless things. Mingguluo is Mingguluo and Baisu is Baisu." Jiang Zhu put her hands in her pockets and walked in front of Liu Qing. "You are not them, nor are you Baiji. Stop showing off your shallow views."
"Don't be angry, you act like you know them so well." Liu Qing covered his mouth with his hand, but the corners of his mouth were raised and the sarcasm still showed through his fingers.
He did it on purpose and had no intention of hiding it.
A twisted guy.
Jiang Zhu didn't want to continue talking meaninglessly with him here. They weren't in a relationship where they could exchange pleasantries. After all, even if these guys died one day for some reason, he wouldn't be surprised or care.
Take Liu Qing for example, he will definitely pay the price for his bad mouth.
"You came here to see me specially, it shouldn't be just for these few words of nonsense, right?"
This experimental base is located in a remote area. Although it is not very far from the villa, it is in two different directions from the research institute where Liu Qing often works. Judging from this guy's personality, he must have come here for some purpose.
Liu Qing: "Well...if I said I did it to see you coming back empty-handed, you wouldn't believe it, right?"
Jiang Zhu: "...Are you asking for a beating?"
Liu Qing tilted his head slightly and looked at the experimental base behind Jiang Zhu. Jiang Zhu didn't understand what he meant, but she also looked back with him.
To the north, south and east of the Magic City are Mingguluo's research institute, Baisu's experimental base and Pingha's Intelligence Management Bureau respectively.
Among them, Mingguluo was fully responsible for all matters related to foreign races, but because she disliked foreigners, all other races except spiritual creatures were handed over to Pingha and her subordinates.
Emperor Lin seemed very busy, but he did not do anything practical. He was only responsible for suppressing alien races and negotiating with humans.
Because he is here, the powerful alien races will not move.
Then there is the human Baisu.
Bai Su always stands firmly on the side of humans, shares the same surname and life with other races.
She has no real power and is just a tool.
Liu Qing: "This is an experimental base built entirely with human funds and manpower, right?"
"I wanted to say this before, it's really big—"
Prison.
