RPAGF Chapter 138 Soul Mate
Chapter 138 Soul Mate
Miao Yin once thought that Tu Hao was able to do this because she had constructed a world from him.
Miao Yin is indeed a genius, but no matter how talented she is, it cannot be denied that the first twenty-odd years of her life were a blank, and the world she knew was therefore monotonous and barren.
Until the apocalypse came, she was thrown out of the house by the Leng family to wait for death. She was chased by mutated people while running a high fever, awakened strange superpowers, saw all kinds of monsters and humans she had never seen before, and struggled on the brink of life and death many times.
This wonderful and novel feeling suddenly made her world richer and more colorful.
At that time, Miao Yin was physically uncomfortable, but mentally extremely excited.
This crazy world left her bewildered yet curious, brimming with a thirst for exploration.
She was like a child who had wandered into an amusement park, holding a map with all the attractions she had never seen before, each one incredibly novel. She stood there, unsure which one to go on first.
Then she captured a knowledgeable mercenary named Tu Hao.
At that time, her superpowers were very weak. She could only defeat one enemy with a single curse, and any more would deplete her superpower pool.
If Tu Hao hadn't been unconscious at that time, she really wouldn't have been able to tie him up.
A person with rich survival experience, extensive knowledge, high combat skills, a wild and imposing appearance that commands respect, and who is completely under her control, is practically a creation tailor-made for her.
Tu Hao is her travel guide, her living plush toy.
Miao Yin always pestered him to tell her stories, asking him a bunch of silly common sense questions like a caveman, forcing him to protect her weak self, and tormenting him from time to time for her own amusement, leaving Tu Hao exhausted and wanting to kill her every day.
With Tu Hao as a bridge, Miao Yin's understanding of the world underwent a tremendous change.
These changes include threatening others, prioritizing profit, murder and robbery, eliminating all potential threats, and various forms of torture.
It can be said that he has thoroughly learned all the evil traits of outlaws.
Her current martial arts skills and proficiency in firearms are the result of learning from Tu Hao over the past ten years.
They spent ten years together, and Tu Hao got to know her and found her true colors. Miao Yin was pleasantly surprised but not entirely unexpected.
But that's not the case now.
Their second life lacked the decade-long adjustment period, the sharing of their past, and the adrenaline surge after years of life-or-death escapes.
But Tu Hao still managed to find her.
When he revealed the truth beneath Miao Yin's disguise, the sudden realization and the profound tremor in his soul brought about by the return of his true self were undeniable.
Miao Yin's emotions are frighteningly high right now.
Her thumb pressed against Tu Hao's lips, her eyes gleaming like ghosts in the firelight, and a faint blush rising on her cheeks.
"Tu Hao, you are truly my soulmate, I love you to death."
The cold, hard table pressed against his back, constantly radiating coldness. Tu Hao's whole body was chilled to the bone, and cold sweat stuck to his clothes, making it extremely uncomfortable to wear.
His lips, pale from blood loss, moved slightly as he said, "Liking a toy isn't love, Miao Yin. Stop going crazy and get off me."
"That's so mean. I rarely confess my feelings to anyone." She pressed harder on the gauze, causing Tu Hao to shudder in pain.
I've said things like "I love you" a few times before, just for fun, and this isn't the first time I've said it to Tu Hao, even though it was in my past life when I said it to scare him.
Tu Hao kept his lips tightly closed, not wanting to refute her anymore.
He wasn't a coward or someone who would easily admit defeat, but Miao Yin really scared him.
Whether it was breaking down his psychological defenses with the spell earlier, making him feel insecure and anxious, or just now when he was being forced to act crazy, Tu Hao was genuinely a little panicked.
He had to admit that Miao Yin had really found one of his few weaknesses.
It wasn't about coercive incantation, but rather about control on a spiritual level. He was completely transparent to her, seen through without a trace.
He is now like a puppet suspended by a rope, tossed high and low by his master to frighten him and play with him at will, but if his master lets go, he will fall to his death.
This feeling of being on the verge of death, and only able to survive by relying on Miao Yin, made Tu Hao feel terrible.
Because of his emotional outburst, he has already piqued the interest of this crazy woman, and he's bound to suffer terribly later.
So he needs to hide his talents and quickly diminish her interest, lest she treat him like some new toy and stare at him every day.
Seeing his sudden "obedient" appearance, Miao Yin knew what he was thinking. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Tu Hao, you don't think I'll let you off the hook like this, do you? You just scolded me and made me very sad."
After saying that, she made a sad expression.
Tu Hao gave him a look that was hard to describe.
"what do you want?"
Miao Yin blinked, playing with the bell on her collar as she said, "I'll pay you back now, and we'll settle the score when we get back to the manor."
Tu Hao felt a chill run down his spine.
Miao Yin jumped off the table, straightened her clothes, and the gentle flow of the molten fire beside her.
Tu Hao took a deep breath before pressing the gauze against his face and getting up, accepting this damned fate.
He was bleeding quite a bit, and if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing black clothes and it wasn't so obvious, it would have looked like a scene from a horror movie in this dark second floor.
"Those two really aren't here." Pulling her emotions away from Tu Hao, Miao Yin's attention returned to the office building.
“They got off before me, so they must have fallen somewhere else,” Tu Hao said.
Miao Yin recalled the map: "The passage near the stairs leads directly underground."
In other words, those two people fell two more floors than them, going straight to the bottom.
"Click."
Miao Yin moved her foot away and saw a watch with broken glass lying quietly on the ground, with specks of black, congealed blood still on the strap.
"Are you going to find them?" Tu Hao asked.
"It doesn't matter, they shouldn't die. I'm more interested in seeing what's down there."
After saying that, Miao Yin suddenly took his arm and said sweetly, "Darling, let's go on a spring outing."
Tu Hao glanced at her expressionlessly.
Miao Yin ignored him and pulled him deeper into the area.
Zhang Leshan may seem like a liar, but he didn't lie about the events on the first and second floors; there really was a corrosive mutant here.
Looking up, the wall was pitted and corroded, likely the marks left by the deformed people crawling on it.
And look at this corrosiveness, comparable to concentrated sulfuric acid. This mutant was indeed killed, otherwise it would have escaped from the building by corrosion alone.
But there were no bodies here.
Miao Yin felt that this was not quite reasonable.
In any case, the second floor is the closest place to living people, and no matter how careful the people up there are, they cannot avoid making noise.
Logically speaking, this floor should attract quite a few deformed people.
But after they looked around, they didn't find a single one.
Tu Hao clearly realized this as well, and his expression became wary.
They had encountered this situation before.
Or perhaps the mutant just happened to be attracted down there by those two unlucky guys.
Alternatively, there exist aberrant humans at the Huangjing level who can devour their own kind.
