MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 126 126%
On that summer night, Shen Rongyu caught up with Jing Zhongyue, and he met Ji Qingzhuo.
For a long time after that, Shen Rongyu thought she was crazy, otherwise... how could such a beautiful little girl appear in a mirror?
Maybe, there is only himself in the mirror, and the so-called Ji Qingzhuo is just a person he imagined.
But...but...Shen Rongyu is so greedy for this kind of beauty that he is willing to indulge in it and believe in the existence of Ji Qingzhuo.
That night, he was lying on the side of the well, with half of his body leaning out, so he didn't show his blood-stained body, but only showed Ji Qingzhuo his dirty cheek and the wound cut by the blade of grass.
He heard Ji Qingzhuo in the mirror say: "Good night."
In fact, when Ji Qingzhuo said this, she hadn't seen him yet, she just had the habit of talking to herself, because if she didn't talk to herself, then she would have no one to talk to, the ability to talk will degenerate.
Ji Qingzhuo is curled up on the bed in the corner. She is wearing a thin white dress. Cameras are placed in the four corners of the metal room. Only this corner is the blind spot of the camera. She hides here, facing the mirror in the small mirror. say.
She wanted to sleep, so she said to herself in the mirror, "Good night."
In the next moment, Shen Rongyu appeared in the mirror. He looked very ugly and embarrassed at that time. Although he had a good skin at the age of nine, the painful years will polish a person's brilliance.
The moment Ji Qingzhuo saw Shen Rongyu, she was stunned. She stared at him and asked, "Does it hurt?"
The first thing she said to Shen Rongyu was that she cared about her. Her eyes were shining, as if they were filled with the light in a well. She appeared like a monster, but she was so pure that there was no evil.
Shen Rongyu put on an ugly smile in front of the mirror, he thought, it really is fake, there are still people in this world who care about him.
He noticed the scar on Ji Qing's faceted face. Her forehead seemed to have been knocked by something, and there was a bruise, which was covered by the hanging thin hair.
"Aren't you in pain?" Shen Rongyu asked her, and he tried to talk to her.
Ji Qingzhuo touched her forehead, it was when she ran away in the afternoon, she didn't feel anything now.
She shook her head.
Just like that, the two fell into a long silence, Ji Qingzhuo was not very good at talking, and Shen Rongyu was also a gloomy and taciturn person.
Shen Rongyu observed Ji Qingzhuo in the mirror. From his perspective, he could only see her back against the cold metal wall. She should be about the same age as him, but she was much thinner than him in stature. Her face is bony, but her face is shockingly beautiful, especially her eyes, which are as warm and pure as water, but always a little dull.
She looks stupid, the kind that doesn't want to think.
Because of his previous experience, Shen Rongyu was very vigilant, he wanted to know Ji Qingzhuo's identity.
He reluctantly moved away from the well, and now his attention was drawn away by Ji Qingzhuo in the mirror, temporarily forgetting that he was going to die.
Shen Rongyu leaned against the moss-covered well, and the sewage squeezed out of the moss soaked his clothes and wounds, but he had no time to take care of this matter.
Enduring the pain, he didn't let the mirror reflect the wound on his body, and asked Ji Qingzhuo in a hoarse voice, "What's your name?"
"I'm Seventeen—" Ji Qingzhuo looked at him and almost blurted out his code name, but... it's just a number, she doesn't have a name.
Ji Qingzhuo thought that she didn't want to use this number as her name, because the person in the mirror didn't seem to be from this experimental base.
However, her imagination is barren, and she can only infer the established facts from the known things, but cannot create something new.
Ji Qingzhuo said three tones indiscriminately, there were no words, only sounds, she thought, this is the name she used to meet the person in the mirror.
She said, "My name is Jiqingzhuo."
Shen Rongyu felt the warm wind blowing in the summer night, drying his sweat due to the pain, he asked: "It's summer now, you Ji, is it the season of the season?"
Ji Qingzhuo can see a little bit of the sky in the mirror, it is dark blue, very beautiful, is this the sky in summer?
It was a beautiful word, so she nodded blankly.
Shen Rongyu's eyes fell on the new shoots that had just grown on the grass branches, which were immature blue, just like her glance in the mirror, weak and cute.
So he asked again: "Qing, is it cyan?"
Ji Qingzhuo didn't nod immediately this time, she said to Shen Rongyu seriously: "I know cyan, but I don't know what color it is, can you show me?"
Shen Rongyu looked at her expressionless cheeks, it seemed that it was a matter of course for her not to know what the color was.
It turned out that there were people who saw less than he could.
Such things as the desire to protect are always inclined to those who are weaker than themselves.
In Shen Rongyu's life, all the pitiful desire to protect was given to Ji Qingzhuo, and that little bit of affection was like a new sprout from a branch, growing slowly.
He raised his hand with difficulty, and roughly pulled the note from the grass. When the young branch fell in front of the small mirror, it trembled quietly, as if it was throbbing in the season when the grass was flourishing.
He said to Ji Qingzhuo: "It's this color."
Ji Qingzhuo looked at the branch, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she said, "It's so beautiful, then it should... be this color."
It wasn't until this day that she matched the cyan color with the real cyan color.
Shen Rongyu read the last syllable she said: "zhuo."
He knew what his name was, and perhaps the most benevolent and hateful thing about the Dongshan Emperor was that he didn't deprive him of his surname.
Shen Rongyu hoped that he would be as gentle and flawless as jade, and as dignified as a gentleman. He remembered the story in the book again. The jade was mined from the mountain and wrapped in rough ore. It needs to be carved slowly to make the jade show. Come out brilliant.
Holding a glimmer of impossible hope, he asked, "Is it Zhuo?"
Ji Qingzhuo asked: "What Zhuo?"
"Cutting of jade." Shen Rongyu said.
"I've never seen jade." Ji Qingzhuo honestly admitted his lack of knowledge.
"My name is Shen Rongyu." Shen Rongyu looked at her and said.
Ji Qingzhuo looked into his eyes. At this time, she hadn't learned to avoid other people's eyes. At that time, she thought that although she had never seen jade, Shen Rongyu's eyes should be like a small, beautiful jade. .
It should be a great honor to be able to carve such a piece of jade.
So she nodded: "That's Zhuo."
On this day, she had her own name, she made the meaningless tones, and Shen Rongyu gave it complete meaning.
After introducing each other's names, the two were stunned again. Ji Qingzhuo stared blankly at the wound on his face and asked him, "Yu...Xiaoyu, don't you want to take a rest?"
She couldn't immediately recall Shen Rongyu's name, she only remembered the word "Yu", and called him that.
"Xiaoyu?" Shen Rongyu tilted his head and stared at him. He completely forgot about his injury, but Ji Qingzhuo still remembered it.
He didn't have the strength to get up, so he could only say to Ji Qingzhuo, "I'll go later."
At this time, there was a change in Ji Qingzhuo's side, and there was a loud noise outside the door, as if someone had smashed something into the wall.
The cameras placed at the four corners were still moving around mechanically, as if they didn't take this accident as a big deal.
Ji Qingzhuo clutched the small mirror in her hand, she knew what the loud noise meant, she still...wanted to take a look.
She wanted to put away the small mirror—it was the only thing she could bring into the experimental base, and it was very early on, and she had the only chance to leave the base to buy something she liked, and she bought it on the street stall with all the money she had. This little mirror, because she thought, if she was really, really bored, she could still talk to herself in the mirror.
Shen Rongyu called out to her: "Zhuo Zhuo."
When he said the word "Zhuo Zhuo", it was unexpectedly logical, because it was a word he had given meaning to.
"Don't put me away." Shen Rongyu said, he was full of curiosity about her.
"I'm afraid you will be scared after reading it." Ji Qingzhuo said.
Shen Rongyu wanted to laugh again, it was the first time he was so carefully protected by someone, what would he be afraid of?
He has nothing to fear.
The door of Ji Qingzhuo's room was locked, and there was only a tempered glass window at the top. She dragged a stool from the side, climbed onto the stool, lay down on the glass window, looked out, and even saw Shen Rongyu outside. Case.
This is a modern experimental base. The incandescent lights in the corridors and the ubiquitous cold metal are scenes that Shen Rongyu has never seen before, but these scenes give him a sense of fear for no reason.
Depressed, so depressing, it seems to drive people crazy, and he...at least there are bushes with sprouts, glowing fireflies, and...the moon in the sky.
Outside the door, a girl in the same white skirt swung another experimental product directly against the wall. They were all of a similar age, but they were engaging in such violent mutual killing.
Looking at this scene, Ji Qingzhuo squatted down quickly, she didn't dare to appear on the tempered glass window, her hands were shaking, and she didn't dare to move again.
After a long time, Shen Rongyu learned slowly that unlike him, who was born with a mistake, she was born as an experimental product, code-named Seventeen, and ninety-nine girls of the same age were produced in the same batch as her. .
In the future of the world she lives in, technology is extremely advanced, but when it develops to a certain level, it slowly stagnates, which is related to the upper limit of the computing power of mechanical computers.
Therefore, a huge technology company capable of controlling the entire country started this experiment. Through genetic recombination, at the cost of extreme physical weakness and loss of reproductive rights, they cultivated a hundred different individuals with extremely developed brains and long lifespans. experiment.
These high-intelligence experimental subjects are very uncontrollable, and their overactive brains can give birth to various mental illnesses, the most obvious of which is violent tendencies.
—Tech companies don’t want highly intelligent guinea pigs with extreme violent tendencies, but they also don’t want quiet guinea pigs with underactive brains.
Therefore, this experimental base is a petri dish for screening successful experimental products. Experimental products that gradually develop mental illness will not be destroyed immediately. They have extremely high IQs. These highly intelligent violent maniacs survived.
Ji Qingzhuo is one of the experimental subjects.
