Chapter 121

When Qiao Suisui found Luka, she found him standing outside the door smoking.

The man's tall figure was not as straight as usual. He was leaning against the wall, holding a cigarette in one hand and his light brain in the other, playing Qiao Suisui's video. After watching it once, he pulled it back to the beginning and watched it again, repeating this five or six times.

"Luka?"

Hearing Qiao Suisui's voice coming from behind, Luka's hand holding the cigarette shook. The next second, he directly clenched the cigarette into his palm to extinguish it, and then tucked it into his trouser pocket.

"Why did you come out?"

He was afraid she would smell the smoke. After standing straight, he said: "You go up first, I'll change my clothes and go find you."

Qiao Suisui didn't do as told, but walked up and hugged his waist directly, drilling into his arms.

The man's expression froze for a moment, then he raised his hand to hug her back.

"Luka, are you afraid?" Her face was buried in his chest, and her voice was a bit muffled at this moment.

Luka smiled, touched her head, and said: "No."

"Then why did you start smoking again?"

The man was silent.

Qiao Suisui looked up, resting her chin on his chest, hanging on him like a koala. Her eyes were bright, and when she smiled, she looked like a little fox, cunning and cute.

"Do you think that I will abandon you and go to the Freedom Alliance?"

His eyes were clearly transparent amber, but at this moment they were like falling into a tunnel of endless darkness. Losing her, he would become a person who could never walk out of the darkness.

Luka looked down at her, affection overflowing from the bottom of his eyes, but extremely restrained.

"Sui Sui, if I had to choose, I don't want to be your obstacle, I want to be the medal that adorns you."

Qiao Suisui's nose felt sour, and she hugged him tighter.

"You are not my obstacle."

You are one of the reasons I stayed. Qiao Suisui said quietly in her heart.

She made a decision last night—

Temporarily give up opening the teleportation function. Before changing Anubis's ending, she would stay in this world.

"I won't abandon you casually, stamped." Qiao Suisui stood on tiptoe, grabbed the man's collar to pull him down, and looked up to plant a kiss on his lips.

The man's hands holding her trembled slightly. His lowered eyes opened wide suddenly, then his eyes moistened, and his eyes were full of her.

This sentence was like a switch, easily picking open the emotions he had finally suppressed. His love was undoubtedly heavy. In order not to put pressure on her, Luka had been enduring, enduring. Behind the little by little closeness was great tolerance and patience. And at this moment, he felt that he had finally received her formal response, like after shouting at the valley constantly, there was finally an echo.

"Sui Sui..."

The corners of his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of passion.

"I really can't lose you."

After speaking, he supported her waist, hugged her tightly in his arms, and kissed her back deeply.

He was done for.

After receiving her love, how could he adapt to the days without love? Luka closed his eyes, kissing her hard, his large hands holding her face, his thumb trembling as he stroked her chin.

"Sui Sui, promise me, the day you don't love me, kill me." This was the first time he made a request to her.

Because he would love until the last moment of his life. And if she stopped loving first, then killing him would be a fulfillment.

Hearing this, Qiao Suisui bit his lip and taught him a lesson: "Are you willing to leave me alone?"

The man shook his head, his eyebrows full of tenderness.

"Then don't say such things."

The impact of the video continued to expand.

Qiao Suisui and Luka and others returned to the Huangting. Before leaving, she took out the apartment rewarded by the system and directly expanded it. The small building would not be rented out to the outside world anymore. She handed it to Sang Yan and let him help her manage it. In fact, she didn't need to explain. Before this, Sang Yan had already consciously maintained the cleanliness and repair of the small building, almost treating this place as half a home, because they had to go to the desolate star often, and living here was really convenient.

She put 6867 in the apartment for fully automated management. In the future, the entire apartment would be a place publicly rented out on the surface, but in reality, it would become the base for organization members.

She released the recruitment method for 【Zizai】.

Every beastman who intends to join needs a ten-minute self-introduction video, including past experiences, reasons for wanting to join, expectations for the organization, etc. In addition to the video, identity information also needs to be submitted. Everyone who submits will be strictly verified by Luka to ensure safety. And her original intention was to create a borderless communication place, so the beastmen belonging to the Freedom Alliance were entrusted to Sang Yan for review.

As for the stray beastmen, she already had an idea in her mind.

The progress of things was faster than she expected.

The number of people in the organization expanded rapidly from the initial 200+. Since the recruitment was launched, more than 6,000 people who had passed the review had joined Zizai, and the number of people queuing in the background was about 200,000, and it was constantly increasing.

Public opinion outside was chaotic. The Federation was still playing dead at first, but under the guidance of people secretly sent by Qiao Suisui, a group of beastmen parading in the streets sat in protest at the door of the Federation, holding high banners demanding a retrial of the Ximeng case.

Now the retrial of the Ximeng case had become a hot topic, and all media were tracking and reporting. Under the pressure of public opinion, the Federation finally had to come forward and express that it would retry in the near future.

Qiao Suisui let Laiboli submit new evidence, overturning the verdict of Zongfang's crime of passion.

The whole process took fifteen days in total. Qiao Suisui was in the Huangting, not stepping out of the house, but could receive thousands of pieces of information. What she had to do was to integrate and transmit the information. Everyone had their own judgment and actions. To some extent, she was more like a person weaving a net.

She was not manipulating the direction of things, but sending out real and objective information so that more people could see the truth.

On the day it rained in Atlantis, the verdict of the Ximeng case came down. Although Zongfang's motive for killing was in line with the Ancient Human Protection Ordinance, the act of poisoning federal public officials and annihilating the family had to pay the price.

At this time, cameras with long guns and short cannons were shooting frantically, and Zongfang was taken down the long stairs by federal personnel.

"Dr. Zongfang, do you have any objections to this verdict? Will you appeal?"

"Dr. Zongfang, do you have anything to say about the final verdict that you will serve in the Southern Battlefield for ten years?"

"Dr. Zongfang, it is understood that your family background is also very powerful. Was there any abuse of power in the process of this retrial?"

"Dr. Zongfang, say a few words..."

The man moved his eyes indifferently, without any emotion, numb like a walking corpse.

Due to the crowding, someone's camera was poked directly into his face, and Zongfang's face was scratched during the chaos.

He looked at that person coldly, and the latter immediately felt a chill, scared stiff on the spot by the pressure.

Zongfang didn't say a word and ignored it, but paused abruptly after taking two steps.

He slowly raised his hand, hesitated to wipe away the blood from the small scratch on his face, only to see the wound that was still bleeding healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
