RPAGF Chapter 26 Liar
Chapter 26 Liar
The one who stopped them was Ren Xiaonu.
They had absolutely no power to resist; they were like withered straw in a field, waiting to be harvested.
More than fifty people returned to the control room with heavy casualties, and Liao Qian bandaged their wounds.
Seeing the two unharmed individuals, the terrified crowd began to question them again.
They questioned Lin Yaozong, asking why he, as the leader, knew the danger outside and didn't stop them from dying in vain!
Those who lost their loved ones and friends went on a rampage of insults and even impulsively tried to physically assault him.
Lin Yaozong stood there silently, his head bowed in remorse.
"I'm sorry," he said finally.
On the day Miao Yin arrived, the people in the control room watched the horrific live broadcast together and witnessed the network failure.
They finally realized that they couldn't get help, and coupled with the shock they had suffered, all their negative emotions erupted at once.
"If you hadn't insisted on dragging us into the control room, we might have escaped long ago!"
Once again, they pointed all their fingers at Lin Yaozong.
Since he brought them to this place, he should be responsible for everyone's life and death!
So they forced Lin Yaozong to go out and scout ahead, and detained his girlfriend as a guarantee that he would come back to rescue them.
Lin Yaozong was angry for the first time. He would do anything, except for Liao Qian, who was his bottom line.
But it was no use. He was outnumbered and couldn't win against others. He looked at Liao Qian with heartache and promised them that he would go out.
However, Liao Qian refuted this.
The brown-haired woman was forced to kneel on the ground, but she showed no fear. She looked up and calmly said to Lin Yaozong, "You don't need to do these things for me. Although we've been together for a long time, I've never liked you."
"You don't like me? Then why are you with me?" Lin Yaozong retorted without thinking.
Then Liao Qian revealed what she had always been thinking: "You think that if you become an ordinary teacher, people won't know you're a rich second-generation? Let me tell you the truth, I've already found out your background and preferences. Getting close to you and marrying you was all just for what you inherited. I've never been the righteous and compassionate good woman you see. I not only deceived your feelings, but I also bought you accident insurance, and I'm trying to take your life!"
"Even if it was all a lie at first, after being together for so long, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
"Feelings?" Liao Qian's face was full of sarcasm. "What I hate most is self-righteous idiots like you, always having so much free time to do nothing! A PE teacher helps a student pay off debts, you help an old man who gets scammed, and you even save a stray cat on the street, carefully selecting a good owner for it! Do you think you're so great and amazing? Lin Yaozong, you're a fucking lunatic!!!"
In the end, all that remained of her insults was disgust.
"Every time I'm with you, I feel like a bug!"
Liao Qian spoke so earnestly that the burly man burst into tears upon hearing her words.
"Was there something I did wrong?" he asked.
Liao Qian, however, concealed all his emotions, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
"No, you did a great job."
Lin Yaozong looked at her deeply, wiped away his tears with his large hand, and said to the others, "Don't hurt her or make things difficult for her when I go out. I will definitely come back to save you when I find reinforcements. Wait for me."
Then, he went out alone.
Half of his body was carried away, while the other half lay by the doorway. On his wrist, spotless, was the birthday gift Liao Qian had given him.
When the door was knocked on again, a woman in a blue dress walked in.
……
"I'm done speaking," Yan Shuzhou said softly, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, not daring to look up at Miao Yin's expression.
In this story, everyone is a murderer, including him.
Whether through silence or coercion, they all conspired to kill Lin Yaozong.
Because he knew perfectly well what was going on, he didn't dare say anything when Miao Yin first spoke to him.
"I...I'm sorry, Brother Yaozong. I was cowardly and selfish, and I caused his death..."
Tears fell to the ground in a steady stream. Yan Shuzhou choked back sobs, covering his eyes with his arms as the long-suppressed guilt finally burst forth.
Someone as weak and incompetent as her, who doesn't even dare to protect those who have been kind to her, would surely be looked down upon by someone as powerful as her.
They will definitely be left behind.
Miao Yin squatted down, pried his arms open, and looked into his tear-filled eyes: "Yan Shuzhou, did you ever argue with them? When they were trying to kick Lin Yaozong out, just like when you stood in front of me back then."
Yan Shuzhou nodded.
When Lin Yaozong was forced to go out, he tried to stop them and hoped to persuade the panicked crowd, but he was kicked to the ground by his angry father after only a few words.
Lin Yaozong pulled him up, shook his head at him, and then resolutely left.
“Then you are brave enough.” Miao Yin’s eyes softened. “In this kind of crowd effect where people only protect themselves and sacrifice the lives of others, given your situation, you have already surpassed many others in doing this.”
Yan Shuzhou's eyes widened slightly, a strange emotion he had never felt before spreading through his heart.
"You are a more valuable investment than I thought."
"Since you're honest, Yan Shuzhou, I can take you away, but from now on, you belong to me, and your life and death are entirely in my hands. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Yan Shuzhou's face was streaked with tears.
He understood what she meant. Having lived under someone else's roof for so many years, he had never truly owned himself; he had simply changed the ruler.
Stop overthinking it.
As long as you're not alone out there braving the elements, anything is fine.
"Sister, please take me with you." He smiled, the lower half of his face revealing a neurotic hope in his eyes.
Miao Yin touched his forehead with her fingertips, using this ability for the first time since her rebirth.
Yan Shuzhou felt a heat on his forehead, as if something had pierced his entire body in an instant. When his fingers were removed, there was a bright red, withered willow twig mark there.
The mark flickered briefly before disappearing into the skin.
Miao Yin stroked his head and explained, "This is my special ability called the Curse of Seeing. Once it is planted, it can never be removed. If you dare to disobey me, I can kill you directly through this mark, and you can't escape it no matter what method you use."
Give him a piece of candy, then give him a stick; the tightly bound spider web is firmly entangled around Yan Shuzhou, forcing him to remain obediently in the web like a puppet, waiting for the Black Widow to harvest him.
Yan Shuzhou wore a stunned expression that defied simple description. Finally, he nodded: "I understand."
Miao Yin smiled with satisfaction. She pulled Yan Shuzhou up from the ground, took out a climbing rope, handed it to him, and taught him how to use it.
"We're going to get down from the eleventh floor as fast as we can. Stay with me and don't stray too far."
The loud explosion will draw all the mutants to this side. If they stop and rest in mid-air like ordinary climbers, they might get eaten by the mutants who break through the glass.
