plague

This era has proved with its cruelty that it does not belong to human beings, why do human beings still struggle?

The instinct of life allows us to survive in such an environment, but the price is to become a monster with no intelligence but no humanity.

'This is probably the punishment of human beings for resisting the extinction of the era. '

The sadness in the boy's eyes in her memory is still clearly engraved in her mind. From then on, Yu Sheng knew that he was different. She saw something in his eyes that was incompatible with this era, and his appearance was like blooming in the mud. The fragile pure white flower, it is regrettable but hard to look away.

I can't help but feel that in such a world, it's great to have him.

If it was him, maybe. .

The bell hanging on the door jingled crisply. Yu Sheng woke up from his thoughts, turned around, and saw that the boy in his memory had grown into a tall and straight figure of a man, but his heart was filled with sadness , murmured suddenly, "Walk slowly, welcome to visit next time."

The gradually closing door cut off her voice, the customer didn't seem to hear it, and walked out of the coffee shop with her own bodyguard.

Through the window of the coffee shop, the backs of the guests and the bodyguards could still be seen. The guests seemed to have seen something, and suddenly ran across the road in a hurry, but just right in front of a speeding car.

A thick wall broke through the ground almost instantly and erected in front of the guests. The car crashed into it unavoidably, and smoke rose from the dent in the front of the car.

The tall bodyguard strode over to support the guest, and a group of people surrounded him at some point. Yu Sheng looked at the chaotic scene outside through the window, and there was no strange expression on his face.

"So, that's it?" A figure wearing a hoodie appeared behind her without warning, leaning casually against the counter of the coffee shop. She didn't even bother to cast a glance at the commotion outside, only a little bored Playing with the coffee cup in his hand, he asked.

Yu Sheng withdrew his gaze, silently squeezed the rag in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Sister Luo, I'm sorry, but it's very difficult to use abilities in front of high-level abilities without being discovered."

That bodyguard, Yu Sheng could feel that the other party was much stronger than her just by relying on his breath, and that sense of threat was no less than the feeling Luo Qing gave her.Standing under the eyes of the bodyguard, she had no doubt that if she made any move that aroused the other party's suspicion, he would crush her to death like an ant without hesitation.

The reason why she was able to succeed under the nose of the bodyguard, apart from the careful operation she tried to conceal, is probably the other reason that this bodyguard encountered an assassination from a person with spiritual abilities for the first time, so it was difficult for her to attract attention. The bodyguard didn't think too much about the subtle movements.

"When did you use the ability?" Even Luo Qing, who is quite skilled in assassinations, had to admit that she didn't notice anything strange about Yu Sheng during the whole process, which made her a little curious.

Information about supernatural powers is absolutely confidential to supernatural beings. Even for their organizations, supernatural beings can refuse to disclose information. This is an unwritten rule that has existed since the establishment of the safe zone.

Luo Qing also just asked casually, and didn't expect the other party to tell her the truth, but Yu Sheng didn't seem to be stingy about sharing it with her. Of course, that's all she could say, after all, she wasn't that naive yet.

"Strictly speaking, it's not a supernatural power." Yu Sheng said, "It's hypnosis."

Some things are unconscious. Hypnosis is more like a kind of talent after awakening the supernatural ability for the spiritual superpower. To guide you to do what he wants, but this kind of hypnosis is not always beneficial. It needs to use sound, language, objects or eye contact as a medium to perform, and the failure rate is extremely high.

For psychic power users, it can be said to be a very tasteless ability.

But it was such a tasteless ability that Yu Sheng successfully used under the eyes of a high-level supernatural being against the opponent's high-level coercion.

How difficult it was, Yu Sheng didn't want to complain to anyone, and she didn't care about the result of the assassination, or in other words, the result of failure was what she wanted to see more.

But her failure didn't mean the mission was over. Yu Sheng knew that Luo Qing didn't have any expectations of her from the beginning, and had already prepared for the worst.

Is this a test for her?then what?Yu Sheng was in a bad mood at the moment, and didn't want to think about too complicated things.

"Execute Plan B." Following Luo Qing's calm voice, her figure disappeared without a trace.

Yu Sheng closed his eyes and said, "Understood."

The bodyguard had noticed something strange when Nian Shaohui suddenly ran towards the road. After dealing with the troublesome matter, on the way back, he asked Nian Shaohui why he did that suddenly at that time.

At this time, Nian Shaohui was still in a state of disorientation, and he said listlessly, "I saw a person."

The bodyguard frowned suddenly. He was standing with Nian Shaohui at that time, but he didn't see anyone across the road.

"It's okay, I must have misread it." Nian Shaohui said flatly.

The bodyguard suddenly remembered the female clerk in the coffee shop. Although she was a low-level person, she was also a supernatural person. Could it be her?But when exactly?

The bodyguard was skeptical, but when he thought that if this was true, a high-level supernatural user of his own was taken advantage of by a low-level one on the other side, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

But Nian Shaohui insisted that he was wrong, and the bodyguards should not be suspicious anymore, after all, his task was to ensure the safety of Nian Shaohui's life.

At noon, at 12:54, Nian Shaohui returned to the main house of the Nian family.

"Master." The servant saluted respectfully after seeing Nian Shaohui.

The current patriarch of the Nian family has six children. Nian Shaohui is the fourth eldest and is a high-profile heir. However, no one in the Nian family has ever called him "Fourth Young Master". 'Four' is homonymous to 'death', even if it's just a title, you should avoid being unlucky, which is enough to show that the Nian family attaches great importance to Nian Shaohui.

Nian Shaohui nodded with a warm smile on his face and asked, "Is father there?"

"The master is in the study... the second young master is also there, and they are talking."

The younger generations of the Nian family performed their own duties. The Jiang family was an enemy standing in front of them. Under the pressure of a sense of crisis, the next year's family was not united. Therefore, except for Nian Shaohui, the designated heir, the other younger generations rarely stayed in Nian's family. They are not the main house of the family, but are conscientious in their respective fields.

Nian Shaohui noticed that the servant's tone was a bit subtle, and he guessed that something might have happened, so he didn't say anything, but said to the servant, "I'm a little hungry, get ready, I'm going to a special restaurant for dinner later."

The servant bowed to show his understanding.

The bodyguard beside him changed his expression slightly, and said, "Then young master, I will come to you after you finish your meal."

Nian Shaohui nodded in agreement, he has always been a tolerant employer.

The special restaurant for the heirs of the Nian family is located on the second basement floor of the main house of the Nian family. There is only one chair, which is the exclusive seat for the heir of the Nian family.

Half an hour later, Nian Shaohui changed into casual clothes and sat in front of the dining table. Not long after, his meal was served on an exquisite tray, and when he opened the lid, there was a piece of pale meat oozing blood inside.

Nian Shaohui smiled and nodded to the servants who served him, picked up the knife and fork, and moved gracefully like a court noble in the old days.

There are almost invisible fine hairs on the skin of the meat, which looks crystal clear. Nian Shaohui pierced the surface with a sharp knife and scratched it slightly, cutting the outermost layer of skin to reveal a thin layer of fat. , Another cut, the red muscle tissue inside is exposed, with clear texture, and occasionally blue blood vessels can be seen, which is pleasing to the eye.

Raw meat is not easy to chew, but Nian Shaohui enjoys the feeling of raw meat mixed with rust being ground between his teeth. This slow process can effectively soothe his emotions.

I have to say that every meal here is a pleasure for him.

After eating the whole piece of meat, Nian Shaohui put down the tableware, gracefully picked up the tablecloth at hand and wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, then got up, as usual, he was going to thank the people who entertained him.

The back kitchen of the dedicated restaurant looks more like an intensive care unit in a hospital. The air is mixed with the smell of disinfectant and blood, and the beeping of instruments is the only sound in this space.

Nian Shaohui walked to the table without looking sideways. Lying on it was a woman with a chiseled body. The woman was not tall, and she hadn't seen the sun all year round, making her skin white and almost transparent.

The woman was shaved bald, and the almost transparent pale body was covered with scattered pink and brown hideous scars. The fingers and toes had been gouged out together with the joints, leaving only ten sunken pits on the bare palms and soles of the feet. , a large piece of fat was dented on the right side, and Nian Shaohui still remembered the smell, a whole piece of fat, with a fishy taste.

The smell of blood spread in the air. Nian Shaohui squeezed his chin and squinted his eyes carefully, as if he was admiring a wonderful handicraft. His eyes finally stopped on the white gauze wrapped around the woman's left thigh. Simple hemostasis treatment, but it was still penetrated quickly. The blood gathered a small puddle on the table. Nian Shaohui stretched out his fingers and dipped a little into his mouth. A fascinated smile appeared on his face, as always. The warm taste of sunshine.

Nian Shaohui said sincerely, "Thank you for the hospitality, it is very delicious."

Although the woman was as lifeless as a corpse, almost needing the help of instruments to maintain her breathing, Nian Shaohui knew she could hear her.

He stretched out his hand to caress the only intact face in the woman's body. She was beautiful, and the outline of the facial features was very similar to that of Nian Shaohui.

Looking at her half-open dull eyes, Nian Shaohui pressed his forehead against her, and a mournful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Don't die, live on...don't leave brother alone..."

Perhaps what happened outside the cafe today had a deep impact on him. Nian Shaohui stayed in the back kitchen for a long time this time.After a while, he finally left, leaving only the woman lying on the table and the servant who took care of her in the room.

For a moment, the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground caused the woman's slack eyes to move, and she suddenly rolled her eyes. A strange figure appeared beside her. Can't see face clearly.

The woman paused, her chest heaved almost negligibly up and down, she was about to burst open, bloodshot like dense crimson cracks, filled with dull eyeballs for an instant, violent mood swings poured into her body like a flood. Her long-dried body, her whole body began to ache, but her eyes were still staring at the other party.

Soon, the man let out a sneer, then raised one hand, pressed some device, and started talking to himself.

Yu Sheng was a little surprised by Luo Qing's sudden contact. After all, it has not been a long time since the implementation of Plan B. After all, the Nian family is the second largest family in the safety zone, and it is easy for the other party to use communication equipment rashly during missions. Captured, this will increase the difficulty of the task, Yu Sheng doesn't think Luo Qing will do that.

That is. .

Yu Sheng stared at the computer in front of her. It was a floor plan of Nian's mansion, and the blue dot was where Luo Qing was. She bit her lip, but her voice still trembled uncontrollably, "Luo Qing Sister... Is the mission over?"

Luo Qing's answer was quick, "No, but I found something."

"...What?" Before Yu Sheng could react, a photo suddenly appeared on the computer screen, as if it was thrown directly on her face. Looking at the photo, Yu Sheng was completely confused. .

This is. .What?

Soon, Luo Qing gave her the answer.

"Nian Shaohui's food."

Yu Sheng only heard this sentence from the earphone, and then the communication was cut off without hesitation.
