Chapter 48: Volume 1 Chapter 48 Black-bellied x Arrogant (12)

But Xie Wuchen will quickly think of her escaping, and will certainly go rescue the 'him' in the basement first.

In this world, the difficulty is far higher than in the previous world; if the villains of the two previous worlds were all tormented by tragic childhood memories and ultimately became emotionless perverts.

But Xie Wuchen is not.

Whether in this life or the previous one, he has had no tragic experiences that could cause his perversity.

From birth onward, he has possessed a strong antisocial personality, wanting to destroy this peaceful world.

Regarding the righteous and kind personality that others have but he lacks, Xie Wuchen, like ordinary people, feels envy and jealousy, until——he completely assimilates them.

He wants to extinguish all light in this world, leaving only darkness.

Jiang Zhi has never encountered this type of person; to capture him, she must go completely opposite to him.

Bestow upon him genuine human emotions.

The alarm whistle sounded continuously in her ears, echoing throughout the area, making people feel panicked.

As the last group of people passed before her eyes, Jiang Zhi gripped the brick in her hand tightly, and step by step sneaked into the basement along the dark edge.

The government base sent a large wave of people to eradicate the Evil-doers Organization, and the number of guards at the basement entrance here obviously decreased a lot.

Jiang Zhi knocked out two guards and opened the basement door with a key.

The people inside heard the commotion and woke from their sleep one after another, looking toward the door with faces full of fear.

Jiang Zhi crept around the corners of the room and finally found the familiar figure huddled in an inconspicuous shadow.

The man curled up his body, motionless, out of place among the people inside.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the time, then hurriedly shouted to the thin, weak people looking at her: 'Run! The base is attacking; the organization can't protect itself internally—you can escape in the chaos!'

For now, no one will pay attention to the chaos in the basement.

The people in the basement heard the voice, froze for a few seconds, then, not knowing who led them, a crowd surged out in panic without choosing a path.

Jiang Zhi ran to the man's side and woke him, calling: 'Xie Wuchen! Xie Wuchen!'

Xie Wuchen woke up, and upon seeing her, still as if in a dream, he opened his eyes with a dazed expression: 'You, you how are you here?'

Jiang Zhi had no time to explain, she pulled him up and strode away.

They escaped through the East Gate, where the guards were as empty as the basement's management.

Several times, the movement tugged at the girl's wound, hearing her suck in a breath of cold air, Xie Wuchen lowered his eyes and asked gently:

'What's wrong? Are you injured somewhere?'

Jiang Zhi's face turned pale from pain, she shook her head pretending to be fine and kept moving forward: 'I'm fine, Xie Wuchen, let's leave quickly!'

Xie Wuchen brought up the wrong topic: 'Zhizhi, I heard from the people in the basement that those taken out will die—you really haven't encountered anything, have you?'

Jiang Zhi obviously didn't want to mention the previous events, she pressed her lips and remained silent.

Having exited the East Gate, they finally escaped from the demon's den.

Jiang Zhi let out a breath of relief.

Xie Wuchen saw this, stopped his steps, and said earnestly: 'Zhizhi, if you have anything, you can tell me.'

While being tortured by a man like a demon until covered in wounds, Jiang Zhi had never shed a tear.

But hearing the greeting of a good companion, Jiang Zhi could not hold back; a sour feeling rose in her nose, and the days of grievance and despair surged forth.

Tears fell drop by drop onto the ground, meeting the hazy, gauzy moonlight; Xie Wuchen saw before him the girl who could not stop crying.

Her waterfall-like hair fell down, the girl's forehead lowered, and her usual beautiful eyes, like a galaxy, filled with tears.

'Xie, Xie Wuchen, it's all you! All you!'

She flung herself into the man's embrace, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist, her whitening fingers clenched, her whole face buried in his chest.

Xie Wuchen's body stiffened slightly, feeling the warmth and moisture in his embrace, hearing the girl's sobs that could not be controlled.

As if he were her entire world, the only person in this world she could rely on.

Xie Wuchen narrowed his eyes, his marsh-like pupils cold and deep, devoid of warmth.

During the time he locked her in the room, she had never shown him this kind of emotion.

Like a hedgehog, she curled herself up, never exposing her weakness.

But toward her foolish companion 'Xie Wuchen', she would reveal this side.

Xie Wuchen's dark, twisted heart suddenly filled with jealousy.

Unprovoked jealousy made his mood irritable.

What she likes is the 'Xie Wuchen' who pretends to be a fool, afraid and only hiding behind women.

And he, as 'Bao Jiu', the girl feels only hatred toward him.

Xie Wuchen's thin lips curled into a wicked arc.

If, let her know.

'Xie Wuchen' is 'Bao Jiu', the person who has been tormenting her these days is exactly the 'Xie Wuchen' she trusts most.

Would it not.

Quite interesting?

But he only thought of this idea for a moment, then completely dismissed it.

Dependent on the girl's initiative to approach and her trust.

This excites him more than the previous torment and destruction of her.

After a long time of nervous tension and physical weakness, Jiang Zhi fainted from crying in Xie Wuchen's embrace.

The next day.

Morning light, wrapped in scorching heat, fell upon the earth, rolling up waves of heat.

Jiang Zhi, who had awakened in the car, opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, looked around in panic and vigilance; upon seeing Xie Wuchen driving in the passenger seat beside her, her eyes gradually turned red.

It wasn't a dream.

She really had escaped, escaped from the devil's hands.

Seeing the girl's gaze relax after her fright, Xie Wuchen pulled the car to the edge of the road, turned his head and looked at her: "What's wrong? What nightmare did you have?"

Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and exhaled, stretching her sore body, she shook her head and said: "It's fine, where are we?"

Xie Wuchen's dark, heavy gaze swept over the skin on her neck; after a night, that spot still bore an ambiguous mark.

Lowering the expression in his eyes, he reached out to ruffle her head to soothe her, but she reacted rather intensely and dodged away.

Meeting the man's slender fingers hovering in midair, Jiang Zhi's sickly pale face froze for a moment, then she quickly came to herself, feigning anger and shouting loudly: "Xie Wuchen, what are you doing with your hands?"

Xie Wuchen instinctively moved to push his glasses, but realizing there were none on his face, his fingers tensed and he instead pinched the space between his brows.

Sorry.

Jiang Zhi pressed her lips, no longer looking at him, her gaze fell outside the car window, her thoughts winding and turning.

The fingers resting on her legs clenched and relaxed, before her eyes lingered the inescapable nightmare.

She realized that even after escaping the demon's lair, the devil's shadow would still cling tightly to her.

"Sorry, Xie Wuchen." She apologized to him for the first time, the corner of her lips lifting in a smile that didn't reach her eyes: "I didn't mean to."

All her former arrogance and self-esteem, when facing the man, she could not pick up no matter what.

After nearly a month of coercion, torture, and humiliation, Jiang Zhi didn't know how to get out of it.

Xie Wuchen shook his head, his voice gentle, as if he could easily soothe her heart riddled with a thousand wounds:

"Zhizhi, no matter what you've been through before, you're still the Jiang Zhi who proudly smashed zombies with a brick, full of pride and high spirits."
