Xie Zhu curled up on the sofa, looked at the city lights outside the window, and began to feel uneasy.

She was already insecure about this place, and now that she has messed with that inexplicable woman, she feels that she can't stay here anymore.

She hugged her knees and buried her face.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not necessarily a purely bad thing.

That woman seemed to be very powerful, and she would definitely be able to lead Xie Zhu into the Red Sea and see Tianshi; if she came into contact with her, it would be like stepping on the tip of a knife, and his body would be smashed to pieces in minutes.

Xie Zhu rubbed his forehead against his knees, and began to think about a question in a tangled state.

From the first world to the present, she seems to have always been a useless material, dragging people down everywhere. In this world, she is still the same. No, she has become even worse. Tao Zhiyan has to work hard to feed her .

Xie Zhu didn't want to be like this anymore, she also wanted to carry the mission and protect Tao Zhiyan handsomely.

Now, there are two paths before her, sell her soul and agree to Lian Luanying's conditions, or walk on the tip of a knife and approach the mysterious woman today.

Either a cliff or a fire pit, there is no good way anyway.

"Ah, it's so annoying..." Xie Zhu slipped his body and lay down on the sofa, the more he thought about it, the more his mentality exploded, "I don't want to choose anything, the task is so difficult, it's better to kill me with a bomb..."

As soon as the voice fell, there was really a bang outside, the floor shook, the glass crackled, and the cracks in the spider web quickly opened.

Xie Zhu was so frightened that he rolled off the sofa, the floor was still shaking slightly, and the glass shattered and people screamed from below.

What happened?

Xie Zhu leaned on the sofa and poked his head out.

The chaotic calls and sirens came from downstairs, and the transparent glass was clearly covered with cracks, dividing the beautiful night outside the window.

"Bang bang—" A series of gunshots came from below, as if hitting the glass, the glass full of cracks shook, and more cracks grew densely, crumbling to pieces.

The gunfire continued, and there seemed to be a fierce exchange of fire below.

Xie Zhu nervously grabbed the armrest of the sofa, stared at the glass, and listened to the movement below.

Boom, boom, boom—three explosions in a row, the orange flame exploded brightly, the glass buzzed, and finally shattered, the shards scattered like huge snowflakes, a strong wind rushed in, blowing On Xie Zhu's face, she shrank under the sofa.

After a long time, the sound of glass falling to the ground was heard outside.

The fire alarm in the room also sounded at this time, the escape system was activated, and the indicator lights hidden in the floor lit up, flashing to attract people's attention, guiding people to go out of the room.

The sharp sirens mixed with the violent/chaotic sounds below, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and heavy. Xie Zhu stood up, hesitating whether to run out.

The gunfire below stopped, the glass disappeared, and the night wind blew in directly.Xie Zhu felt goosebumps and her heart tightened, she decided to wait and see the situation for a while.

There were no more gunshots or explosions, only the occasional shouts of security guards and the harsh siren overhead continued.

Xie Zhu avoided the shards of glass on the floor, stepped on his slippers, and approached the balcony.

The plants were knocked sideways by the impact and glass shards, falling messily.

Xie Zhu swept away a pile of debris, and leaned her head to listen to the movement below. Someone was shouting, but she couldn't hear the content clearly.

It is estimated that the violence/chaos is over, there will be no more explosions and gunshots.

She was about to return to the room and call the front desk to inquire about the situation.

While turning around, there was a slight muffled sound from behind.

Xie Zhu turned his head and saw a black hand grasping the white railing of the balcony, followed by a black face. The man stretched his arms, climbed onto the balcony, and squatted down to stare at Xie Zhu.

This person wore a black mask, his eyes were hidden in the shadows of the trees, black tights, and a ponytail. From the appearance, he was a woman.

Xie Zhu's scalp tensed up, feeling that he was extremely unlucky.

She took two steps back and said first, "I didn't see anything!"

There were vague shouts from the security guard downstairs, and they were chasing the woman in black.

The woman jumped down from the balcony and walked straight towards Xie Zhu.

Xie Zhu turned around and ran towards the door: "Help... eh!"

The man covered Xie Zhu's mouth with a hand that smelled of blood and gunpowder smoke, his palm was covered with a thick layer of hard calluses, and a familiar voice came from next to his ear: "It's me."

Tao Zhiyan! ?

Xie Zhu struggled to look back and take a closer look.

Tao Zhiyan took off the black mask, and let go of Xie Zhu's mouth and nose.

"Why are you here?" Xie Zhu was surprised.

Tao Zhiyan's face was pale, and before he finished speaking, his body was carried limply into Xie Zhu's arms.

Xie Zhu hugged her quickly, and was bent over by Tao Zhiyan's weight. She dragged Tao Zhiyan with great effort and let her lie on the sofa.

Tao Zhiyan snorted, propped up his upper body, and kept his back from touching the sofa.

"Are you injured?" Xie Zhu knelt on the sofa, letting Tao Zhiyan lean on her shoulder to look at her back.

There was no blood on the black tights.

Xie Zhu reached out to touch it again, but couldn't find wet blood, but on the spine in the middle of her back, he felt a round hard object, no bigger than a fingernail.

"What is this?" Xie Zhu asked.

Tao Zhiyan lay on her shoulders, panting in pain: "The blocker is no longer effective, so it must be pulled out immediately, otherwise... I will be in great pain."

Her voice was filled with pain.

Xie Zhu quickly said: "Then you lie on your stomach, and I'll give you □□."

"No..." Tao Zhiyan took her hand, the palm of which was already sweating, "They will find out soon, and hide me first. If caught, you and I will die."

Xie Zhu raised his eyes to look at the room, searching for suitable furniture: "Wardrobe..."

She helped Tao Zhiyan into the bedroom, opened the closet, and felt that it was not safe here. If the room was searched, she would be able to find it immediately, so she turned to the bathroom.

Tao Zhiyan's face became even paler, his brows were furrowed, and he kept bowing his waist.

Xie Zhu threw two bubble bath balls into the bathtub and released hot water at the same time.

"You lie on your stomach, I'll pull/take it out for you now..." She said, and hurriedly lifted Tao Zhiyan's clothes, only then did she see the large scratches and bruises on her lower abdomen.

Tao Zhiyan cooperated with her, took off his coat, and only wore a black underwear.

She usually exercises a lot, her skin texture is beautiful, her arms are tight, her back and waist are very slender, but in the middle of her spine, there is a silver metal "pushpin" pierced strikingly, and there is another one immediately below. The circular wound has just scabbed over, and it is estimated that only this kind of "pushing pin" is left.

The thing was very small, and it was tightly attached to Tao Zhiyan's skin, like a firmly pressed nail.

Xie Zhu looked at the thing, compared it, and found that it was not easy to pull it out with fingers.

"When you pull it out, be quick." Tao Zhiyan gasped in pain, clutching the bathtub with his fingers, his voice trembling, "A little bit of bending may hurt the nearby nerves, so you must be quick .”

"Is it so serious?" Xie Zhu was so nervous that her hands shook, her palms were sweating, and she wiped it on her clothes.

Stretch out your fingers, and retract them fearfully before touching the nail.

"I'm afraid..." Xie Zhu was so anxious that he was about to cry, "What if I don't do it right and hurt you..."

Tao Zhiyan lowered his head, pressed his forehead against the bathtub, and said in pain, "If I don't pull it out, I will die of pain."

"Ah?" Xie Zhu became more anxious and flustered immediately, "What the hell is this? Why is it nailed to this place?"

Tao Zhiyan closed his eyes, endured the pain and explained: "Every genetic mutant has a control chip implanted in the spine. Once we use the power brought by the mutant gene, the chip will sense it and blow up our body. spine."

She paused to rest for a few seconds, "This nail is something that inhibits the chip, but when it works, it will cause severe pain at the same time, so we added an anesthetic to it, but the effect is only three hours..."

Moreover, the effect time will gradually shorten as the number of times of use increases. Tao Zhiyan really has no extra strength to say this. She clenched her teeth tightly, her cheeks stretched out her masseter muscles, and her entire back muscles were tense. trembling.

The effect of the anesthesia was almost gone, and the pain was extremely strong.

"Tao Zhiyan..." Xie Zhu shrank into a ball in pain, she made up her mind, and clamped the hard round metal with her fingertips.

She felt like she was pulling out a thumbtack that was firmly stuck in the wall, and her hand might slip at any moment.

But the consequence of slippery hands is damage to the spinal nerves...

"I believe in you." Tao Zhiyan said hoarsely, "Don't be afraid, I believe in you."

Xie Zhu clenched his lips, took a deep breath, and was about to pull it out...

But at this moment, the doorbell rang outside, Xie Zhu shook his hand, and immediately let go of the nail.

She let out that breath, panting nervously.

Tao Zhiyan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, if she was delayed for a while, she might faint.

The doorbell rang one after another, ringing desperately.

The muscles in Tao Zhiyan's back began to convulse, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan...

Xie Zhu closed his eyes, the more urgent he was, the more he had to calm down.

She opened her eyes, her eyes became a little more calm and determined, she knelt up straight, she pressed Tao Zhiyan's cold and sweaty back with one hand, and pinched the nail with the other.

"I'm going to pull it out."

Tao Zhiyan nodded vaguely.

The doorbell was still ringing, Xie Zhu kept it out, only seeing the nail that went deep into the bone...

One, two, three... Xie Zhu suddenly exerted force.

The arm was pulled back, the nail came out, and a stream of blood gushed out of the wound...

Xie Zhu's exhausted body softened, and he sat on the ground, still holding the nail firmly in his hand.

Tao Zhiyan snorted to relieve the pain, she lay loosely on the bathtub, her expression gradually calmed down.

The doorbell stopped and turned into a hasty knock on the door: "Please open the door! Otherwise we will break in!"

A warning came from outside.

Xie Zhu hurriedly stuffed the nails into the drawer, supported Tao Zhiyan: "How are you?"

"It's okay." Tao Zhiyan propped himself up and slid into the bathtub, "Go and open the door."

"Okay." Xie Zhu pulled the shower curtain over the bathtub.

Then she quickly took off her clothes, and before putting on her bathrobe, she opened the shower curtain again: "I have to get wet to act..."

She said, stepping into the bathtub anxiously.

Tao Zhiyan was wearing a black bra, sitting in the water, looking at her dumbfounded.

Xie Zhu was taken aback, paused for a second, and then realized that she had just taken off herself, and now she was covered in nothing but a pair of panties!
