I Contracted Myself-Chapter 78 – Su Qingbo

He instinctively ran down the hill, rolling on the grass with Little Theron in his arms, then lay spread-eagle on the grass, simply staring at the sky.

A few minutes later, he got up and knelt by the lake, looking down at the clear water, which reflected the blue sky, white clouds, and his own face.

"So handsome, no one would doubt I'm the most handsome guy in Mingzhu City!" he said narcissistically, pinching his own face.

Little Theron also trotted to the lakeside, looking at Zhang Ping's reflection in the water, then at his own reflection.

"Little guy, don't drink the water. If you're thirsty, let me know. I have clean water here," Zhang Ping reminded Little Theron with a smile.

Although the lake water was clear, it wasn't entirely safe.

Little Theron shook his head, looking at his reflection in the water, then started jumping around, delighted to see his reflection jumping too.

At this moment, Ye Changchun walked over slowly.

However, his 'slowly' was extremely fast for most creatures.

He walked to the lakeside and called out, "Brother Su, we have guests. Come out and meet them!"

"Brother Su?"

Zhang Ping looked at the lake, curious.

After a moment, a whirlpool appeared in the clear lake, gradually rising. The process was somewhat like making pottery, with the rotating water gradually changing shape, quickly forming a roughly human-shaped pure water creature.

On the shore, Little Theron widened his eyes, then scrambled into Zhang Ping's arms to hide.

"Could this be a Pure Water Body?"

Zhang Ping was also shocked, thinking to himself.

He quickly used his Appraisal Skill on the humanoid figure.

……

After reading the attributes, Zhang Ping's shock lingered.

He remembered Liu Sishan telling him that the probability of an Awakener becoming The Lost was very low.

At the time, he had believed it.

But in just a few days, he had encountered three Lost.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

Was the probability really that low?

"Brother Su, hahaha, so I've become Lost. No wonder I keep forgetting things. Your emotions are becoming more indifferent too. Could it be that you're also Lost?" Ye Changchun laughed as he spoke to Su Qingbo, while Zhang Ping was still in shock.

Su Qingbo, like Ye Changchun, had maintained this state for a long time. He didn't revert to his flesh and blood form but used ice to form a simple torso, making himself look more human.

He walked from the center of the lake, speaking without any emotional fluctuation, "Is this what it means to be Lost?"

"Hahaha, it seems so. This young friend has the ability to appraise. Why not ask him to appraise you?" Ye Changchun glanced at Zhang Ping, smiling.

Only then did Su Qingbo turn his gaze to Zhang Ping, politely and calmly asking, "Young friend, is what Brother Ye said true?"

"Yes, I just checked. You have indeed become Lost," Zhang Ping nodded.

Su Qingbo sighed, muttering to himself, "So even maintaining this state only prolongs my life a bit. The Lost further deteriorates into The Fallen, which is highly dangerous. It seems I must make arrangements quickly."

Clearly, he had different plans from Ye Changchun.

Ye Changchun didn't care about being Lost and hadn't even considered what would happen if he became Fallen.

But Su Qingbo, knowing he was Lost, immediately prepared to end his life, even considering his final arrangements.

"Hahaha, Brother Su, being Lost isn't that bad. Don't scare yourself," Ye Changchun comforted.

Su Qingbo calmly replied, "As my emotions have dwindled, my fear of death has nearly vanished. Even if I die, it doesn't matter. Besides... I'm different from Brother Ye. I'm cautious and conservative, prone to overthinking. If I become Fallen, the harm would be significant. It's better to eliminate the threat early."

"When do you plan to act?" Ye Changchun knew that once Su Qingbo decided on something, he wouldn't change his mind, so he asked helplessly.

Su Qingbo thought for a moment and replied, "I remember I have a great-granddaughter still alive. I'll probably see her from afar one last time."

"Alright, then I'll be there to see you off," Ye Changchun nodded.

Su Qingbo looked at Zhang Ping and said, "Thank you very much for your help. Please wait a moment while I prepare a gift for you."

With that, his body quickly merged into the water, indistinguishable from the lake water.

"Haha, Brother Su has always been like this, very self-centered. Don't mind him," Ye Changchun explained for Su Qingbo.

Zhang Ping smiled wryly and shook his head. He was now most curious about how many Lost were out there.

"Grandpa Ye, are there many Lost outside Mingzhu City?" he asked, looking up at Ye Changchun.

Ye Changchun replied, "I don't know if there are many Lost. In all my years, I've only encountered two Lost, and they were both very paranoid and aggressive, with a strong desire to attack. Other than that, there's not much to say."

"So, the number of Lost isn't actually that high?"

Zhang Ping felt a bit relieved after hearing Ye Changchun's words.

Encountering Lost one after another in the past two days, he had almost imagined a scenario where millions of Lost besieged Mingzhu City.
