Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 256 Qinling Sacred Tree (15)

In the next few years, Ji Xiao always accompanied Zhang Qiling in his wanderings, looking for his long-lost memory fragments. During this period, they went to many places, even to the Zhang family's place. At this time, Zhang Qiling had recovered most of his memories, but there was still a small piece of memory left.

However, during this period, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper. At the same time, Ji Xiao also found that she was becoming more and more dependent on Zhang Qiling, and Zhang Qiling also developed a strong possessive desire for her.

Finally, one day, when they came to a long-abandoned mental hospital, Zhang Qiling murmured to himself: "Xiaoxiao, I feel a little familiar here."

Ji Xiao held his hands tightly, silently waiting for him to make a choice. After all, this place had obviously been abandoned for a long time. After a moment of silence, Zhang Qiling said softly, "I want to go in and take a look."

"Okay, I'll accompany you." So the two of them walked in carefully, observing the surrounding situation carefully.

However, just as they were preparing to investigate further, they were suddenly attacked by an unknown creature! Faced with the sudden change, Zhang Qiling reacted quickly and put Ji Xiao behind him, and then stepped forward to fight with it, but soon Zhang Qiling subdued it.

Ever since Zhang Qiling practiced Yangzhou Man, his martial arts skills have been increasing day by day. Now, unless people use hot weapons, few people can hurt him.

However, due to the suppression of the plane world, Ji Xiao's spiritual sense could only detect the range within ten meters around them, and no one knew where the monster was hiding, so Ji Xiao did not discover it at the first time.

After Zhang Qiling completely suppressed it, Ji Xiao walked forward to check the unknown creature that was pressed to the ground. The creature had a distorted and ugly face, neither human nor ghost, and exuded a disgusting resentment.

Ji Xiao frowned, waved his arms in disgust, and used his spiritual power to dispel the resentment from it.

After doing all these things, Ji Xiao frowned and said to Zhang Qiling: "Qiling, this half-human, half-ghost monster seems to be artificially created, and from its current appearance, it seems to be a woman, and it seems to know you, but the way she looks at you now is really disgusting, I hate her."

Zhang Qiling calmly observed the person lying on the ground. After pondering for a moment, he touched Ji Xiao's head and comforted her, "I don't know her." After that, Zhang Qiling took out a rope, tied her up, and threw her aside.

Then, Zhang Qiling took Ji Xiao's hand and said, "Let's go." After that, Zhang Qiling held Ji Xiao's hand tightly and walked towards the depths of the hospital without hesitation.

Although Ji Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if her favorite toy from childhood was being coveted by someone, she also knew that now was not the time to think about these things, so she followed Zhang Qiling silently.

As the two continued to go deeper into the hospital, the atmosphere around them became increasingly weird.

When the two of them walked to the end of the corridor, they found that there was no way forward. Ji Xiao used his spiritual sense to probe underground, and after careful investigation, he discovered that there seemed to be a basement hidden under his feet.

So she gently pulled Zhang Qiling's sleeve and said in a low voice: "There seems to be a basement downstairs. Maybe there are some important clues hidden there! The door is just in front." Ji Xiao pointed to the space under the corridor.

Zhang Qiling nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ji Xiao's opinion, then held her hand tightly and advised: "Okay, then you follow me closely and be careful." Then he took Ji Xiao and walked carefully towards the basement.

Since the strong light is too dazzling and may cause unnecessary trouble, Ji Xiao wisely chose to bring two ordinary flashlights, and the strong light was placed in the space for backup. She and Zhang Qiling each took one, and although the light was limited, it was enough to illuminate the road ahead. Along the way, according to Ji Xiao's observation, apart from the strange creature just encountered, there were no other abnormal situations.

Not long after, the two of them successfully arrived at the basement. After Ji Xiao used her spiritual sense to confirm that there was no one around, she put away the flashlight and took out a powerful lighting fixture. As the light came on, it instantly illuminated the entire basement.

Ji Xiao looked around and said in surprise: "This looks like a secret laboratory!"

Ji Xiao didn't hear Zhang Qiling's response and turned around in confusion, only to see him staring at an old experimental bed, lost in thought.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly walked to Zhang Qiling, looked at him with concern, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Zhang Qiling's eyes still lingered on the experimental bed, as if he saw his past self through it. His voice was low and calm, and he slowly said: "Just now, a fragment suddenly flashed through my mind. It seemed that I was lying on this bed at that time, and countless strangers kept drawing blood, and then injecting various different reagents..."

Ji Xiao listened quietly to Zhang Qiling's story about his past, her heart filled with sorrow and heartache. She looked at the man in front of her, and although his expression was unusually calm, his eyes revealed a trace of unspeakable pain.

The storyteller looked calm and composed, but the listener was already in tears.

Ji Xiao gently put down the high-intensity flashlight in her hand, and without hesitation, she stepped forward and hugged Zhang Qiling tightly, feeling his body temperature, and comforted him softly: "I will always be with you in the future, and I will never leave you. No one can hurt you again, not even yourself."

Zhang Qiling silently hugged Ji Xiao back, gently rested his head on her neck, and whispered, "Yeah."

Although the saying goes, loving a man will make you unhappy, but for Ji Xiao, if this man is Zhang Qiling, then what does it matter if she is unlucky for the rest of her life?

After all, it is rare to meet such a person who makes your heart beat faster in life, and everything else seems unimportant. Besides, she doesn't only live this life, let alone a man...

Besides, there are not so many absolute things in the world, and we don’t know who will be unlucky in the end.
