Chapter 123 Gu Jinghe (End)
Qiao Xiao noticed a brand-new device next to her, which looked like it had just been installed. It was covered by a huge curtain, which Qiao Xiao lifted to take a look.
Inside was a bomb the size of a door.
The moment the curtain was lifted, the 3D display screens surrounding the entire area revealed the power of its experiment, capable of destroying a city effortlessly.
Qiao Xiao's first thought was: she could use it to destroy this building, this place where terrorists were hiding.
Qiao Xiao thought for a moment: But once it's detonated, the people of this city will be finished.
Gu Jinghe suddenly murmured, "Xiaoxiao..." His voice was trembling.
Qiao Xiao immediately knelt down, held his hand, and gently comforted him, "I'm here."
Gu Jinghe slowly opened his eyes. His body was exhausted from the ordeal, but he was determined to see his lover.
He cried and said, "I'm sorry, I'm such a useless piece of trash, I only cause you trouble."
Qiao Xiao: "This is not your fault, it's the world's fault."
The world has woven a trap, and you are just someone struggling in this web.
Qiao Xiao looked bitterly at the dying person in her arms. She felt that he was so innocent. Such a beautiful person should not have suffered such a terrible fate.
Gu Jinghe knew he was freezing cold. He desperately wanted to touch her, but he knew that would make her cold.
Qiao Xiao noticed his actions, which seemed to be a deliberate resistance to her approach. She smiled and said gently, "Jing He, don't be afraid. I came into your world to protect you. Don't be afraid of my approach."
As she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, and the image of a person flashed through her mind, as if someone had said the same thing to her.
Gu Jinghe's eyes welled up with tears. He couldn't see Qiao Xiao's figure clearly, so he desperately moved his arms to get closer to her and touch her. "Xiao Xiao, I love you."
Qiao Xiao: "Me too..."
Suddenly, a strange noise interrupted their tender moment as the laboratory door was opened.
A group of people rushed in through the laboratory door, and a series of cold, chilling gun barrels surrounded the couple.
Ming led the team at the front, followed by Alyssa and Bieber, and a group of tall men in black wearing bulletproof vests.
Ming: "Miss Qiao, you are really capable to have managed to get here. It is also my negligence that allowed you to find Gu Jinghe."
Qiao Xiao hugged Gu Jinghe tightly, like a mother tiger protecting her newborn cubs, fiercely protective of her offspring.
"You really are a beast, tormenting Gu Jinghe like this, you madman!"
Ming shamelessly replied, "Thank you for your praise; it's entirely a compliment."
Qiao Xiao: "I'm returning your things to you." She threw the bracelet on the ground.
Ming's face darkened instantly. He gestured for Bieber to pick up the bracelet, which Bieber did without hesitation. Alyssa, on the other hand, would step back and then give Bieber a disdainful look, as if she were disgusted.
He demanded, "How did you do that?"
Qiao Xiao: "If you don't want to detonate a bomb here, let us leave!"
Ming panicked instantly. Even though he had looked up information about Qiao Xiao, whose resume was unremarkable and whose background was unremarkable, she had single-handedly caused the loss of several of his subordinates and quietly dismantled his bracelet. He knew he had to think twice about what she said.
Ming: "Does Miss Qiao intend to take us all down with her?"
Qiao Xiao roared at the top of her lungs, "You've done this to Gu Jinghe, is there any chance he can survive? If he's gone, I will not live alone. I will fight you all to the death! Let's fight to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghe tugged at her sleeve and softly called out, "Xiaoxiao."
Qiao Xiao glared at Ming, but still gently comforted Gu Jinghe, "I'm here."
Ming: "Mr. Gu still has a chance to survive. The antidote is on the 25th floor. Come with us."
Qiao Xiao said coldly, "Take it here."
Ming: "Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Xiao placed her finger on the button and threatened, "You should know its power."
Ming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. "Elisa, go get it."
Elisa remained expressionless and simply replied, "Yes."
Qiao Xiao was extremely exhausted. She had to be wary of any movement from the other party, keep herself calm so as not to be discovered, and constantly observe Gu Jinghe's situation.
A moment later, a strange sound came from the sky—thunder. An unprecedented downpour was approaching, and the dark clouds were being guided by the wind.
Gu Jinghe felt uncomfortable all over because of the cold and dampness in his body. He kept twisting and turning, as if this could relieve his pain.
But no matter how much he couldn't bear it, he didn't groan in front of everyone. He just clung tightly to Qiao Xiao, seeking a bit of comfort.
Elisa returned carrying a box. She placed the box near her ankle and said, "The things are inside, Ming."
Ming: "Miss Qiao, your things are right here. Come and get them yourself."
Qiao Xiao glanced at the box, then glared fiercely at the group. "There's no antidote at all. You're lying to me, aren't you?!"
She made a gesture as if to press down, but Ming said anxiously, "Don't be impulsive. We must develop it before his illness flares up."
Qiao Xiaoxin felt a chill. She had just lied to them, and sure enough, there was no antidote at all. She was trembling all over.
She lowered her head and carefully pressed it against Gu Jinghe's head, asking, "Jinghe, are you afraid of dying?"
Gu Jinghe saw the despair in her eyes and shook his head firmly, "With you here, I'm not afraid."
Gu Jinghe said tremblingly, "I love you, Xiaoxiao."
Qiao Xiao: "I love you too."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Qiao Xiao's eyes instantly hardened, and she pressed the button without fear.
In an instant, the building vanished into nothingness, and everyone disappeared into the light and shadow.
Then, the system's voice sounded: "Gu Jinghe's favorability has increased to 100. Congratulations, host, on completing the conquest."
Qiao Xiao found herself in a void, a place of endless white, like a place where souls belong.
A tear rolled down her cheek. Now that some of her memories had returned, she could feel her feelings for Gu Jinghe with complete clarity.
She didn't break down in tears. Instead, she remained unusually calm, without much outward emotional expression. She felt sorry for Gu Jinghe's situation, but that was all she could do. All she could do was offer a little empathy, nothing more.
Qiao Xiao: "System, am I one step closer to resurrecting that person?"
"Yes, host."
Qiao Xiao said calmly, "Then next."
At the central command post, the commander watched all this and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had great confidence in their relationship, Qiao Xiao had lost her memory and only had one consciousness left. He was terrified that she would fall in love with someone else.
The main system notification reads: "Commander, a fragment has been successfully collected."
He showed no emotion, only asking, "Does activating the three-dimensional world require completing the four-dimensional storyline first?"
"Yes, Commander, otherwise the three-dimensional world cannot obtain enough energy to restart."
With a wave of his hand, the entire screen went black. He lowered his head, his whole body enveloped in the starlight of the Milky Way.
