Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

"Don't tell anyone else about your supernatural powers." Jiang Ye spoke slowly, word by word, in order to make He Ziye hear clearly, "Even if you are scared, you must insist that you don't have it."

He Ziye looked at her in confusion, but Jiang Ye did not explain to him. Instead, she hypnotized him and made him accept this "setting" directly.

"You can't use your supernatural powers anymore. Unless..." Jiang Ye paused, but still kept a backup plan, "Unless Doctor Luan next to you asks you for help.

“But you can also refuse. You can refuse anything that makes you uncomfortable.

"Just don't trust anyone except Dr. Luan."

Luan Ning looked at Jiang Ye with some surprise.

But Jiang Ye just stared at He Ziye, his eyes were so cold and indifferent that they were completely different from usual ones.

Her voice was not gentle at all, and even sounded like a command.

But this trick seemed to be very useful to He Ziye, and he understood it very easily.

He even understood that if he did as Jiang Ye said, he would be in no danger, so he agreed quickly this time.

Jiang Ye nodded, pulled up a smile, and returned to his usual deadpan expression.

At this moment, He Ziye suddenly asked: "What about you?"

what?

Jiang Ye and Luan Ning were both stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, he asked in more detail with his hoarse voice: "Why can't I believe you?"

"..."

For a moment, the two adults' brains suddenly short-circuited and they were speechless. They could only stare at him and blink stupidly.

Two seconds later, Jiang Ye laughed out loud: "Don't trust me, you will be sold out."

……

After He Ziye had a good cry, he began to feel sleepy as soon as he relaxed.

Luan Ning sent him back to his room, asked someone to take care of him, and then returned to Ward No. 2.

It was noon and no one had returned yet. The sunlight was pouring in from outside, illuminating the entire ward.

Jiang Ye's bed was at the innermost corner, one of the few dark corners in the ward.

She was still in the same position as when he had left her.

When she closed her eyes, her eyelashes looked particularly long and curled, and her expression was peaceful, with none of her usual smoothness or indifference.

Luan Ning slowed down his pace as he entered the room.

But no matter how slow you are, you will eventually get there.

As soon as he stopped, Jiang Ye opened his eyes: "He fell asleep?"

"Yeah." Luan Ning felt her pulse and confirmed that she was fine, then he moved a stool over and prepared to give her acupuncture.

Jiang Ye smiled: "I'm sorry to bother you again."

"It's okay." After saying this, Luan Ning didn't say anything else.

But just as he inserted the fifth needle, Jiang Ye whispered, "You seem to have something to say."

Luan Ning was slightly stunned.

"Your needle insertion speed—" Seeing his expression, Jiang Ye took the initiative to explain, "It's much slower."

To say a lot is to be polite.

Luan Ning would pause for half a minute after inserting a needle, which was completely different from his usual behavior.

Jiang Ye didn't mean to blame him, but Luan Ning was shocked: "Sorry."

Immediately, he no longer hesitated and inserted more than twenty silver needles into the acupuncture points one after another without any hesitation.

After finishing, he let out a long sigh.

"So what's the matter?" Jiang Ye continued to ask.

Luan Ning fell silent.

Jiang Ye was helpless: "Doctor Luan, please don't learn from He Ziye. He pauses three times before speaking. It's really tiring."

"It's not a big deal." Luan Ning smiled slightly because of her words, and then said softly, "It's just a little unexpected... I thought you would continue to ask."

"What? Are you talking about He Ziye?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ye saw that he was absent-minded for a long time and thought that something big had happened again.

Hearing this, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I did have a lot to ask at first, but the special features of his abilities have already given me the answers to many questions. Besides—"

Jiang Ye looked at him and said, "If I ask you again, you won't agree."

Luan Ning replied in a low voice: "He is in a state of restlessness, so it is indeed not appropriate to continue questioning him..."

Jiang Ye nodded indifferently.

As she said, being able to know He Ziye's special abilities directly was enough for her.

Luan Ning hesitated for a few seconds and asked again: "Jiang Ye, why did you let him trust me?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye looked at him and answered as a matter of course, "Because you are trustworthy."

Luan Ning was stunned.

"Although his ability is rare, he doesn't have much power to protect himself." Jiang Ye put away the smile on his face, his expression was indifferent, "No matter where he goes, he is kept as a tool by others.

"Looking at his expression, I guess he must have experienced this kind of thing many times, so he is so scared.

"It's just that he only remembers to eat and not to be beaten, and his brain is not very good. Sooner or later, he will meet someone with ulterior motives, and he will be skinned and taken advantage of."

Luan Ning pursed his lips and said nothing. He was also worried about this, but Jiang Ye's words were somewhat more straightforward.

"So I think it's a good choice for him to follow you." Jiang Ye said in a light but gentle voice, "Many people treat him as a tool, but you treat him as a human being."

Luan Ning didn't expect her to say such a thing. After a long silence, he could only nod slightly: "Thank you."

If Jiang Ye hadn't had what happened today, the child wouldn't have let down his guard so quickly.

Jiang Ye shook his head: "I didn't do anything. Besides, it was me who acted on my own initiative and caused you trouble."

"What?" Luan Ning was puzzled.

"It's impossible for him to help those three mercenaries cause trouble for no reason. Whether it's for profit or emotion, he is always involved with those three people. With Ke Caiying's ability, he might be able to find this clue."

Luan Ning suddenly realized: "No wonder you asked him to bite himself to death for not having any special abilities."

"That's one reason. But the fewer people who know about his special ability, the better."

Luan Ning nodded in agreement.

"There is one more thing." Jiang Ye paused, showing rare hesitation.

Luan Ning called her softly: "Jiang Ye?"

"This child's mechanical and stereotyped behavior doesn't seem to be innate. He still has his own emotions, but his body's instincts seem to have been trained... Let alone what secrets he may be hiding, this child himself..."

Jiang Ye sighed inaudibly, "Maybe I'm just worrying too much. But... if his ability is used properly, it can also be a weapon that hurts people, so you still need to be more careful."

Jiang Ye could see that Luan Ning was not on guard against He Ziye. After what happened just now, he probably only had sympathy and pity left.

Her rash words inevitably spoiled people's mood.

But Luan Ning didn't think she was worrying too much, she was just curious: "Why do you say that?"

Seeing that he did not show any resistance, Jiang Ye continued, "You said that when you found him, Luo Ming and the others relied on his confused mumblings to quickly understand the general facts. But this does not match his behavior in the past few days."

Most of the time, He Ziye refuses to speak. If you don't force him, he won't even look at you.

"...Indeed, it's a bit strange." Jiang Ye's words made Luan Ning fall into deep thought.

Only then did they realize that they had been trapped in this misunderstanding.

Everyone thought that He Ziye was just scared at the time, but now thinking about it, those few sentences he repeated randomly revealed almost all the key points.

Is this really a coincidence?
