Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Zhou Huijuan's voice was loud and clear, echoing in the corridor.

Sun Kai, now completely invisible, immediately had a very complicated expression.

That's right, this Director Zhou is the one who strongly advocated for Chen Duo to be treated humanely!

But she didn't want Chen Duo to die; she had actually seen something.

Sun Kai still vividly remembers how Director Zhou had shown great interest in researching the Gu poison in Chen Duo's body, even encouraging everyone to overcome this challenge.

At that time, Director Zhou still had a gentle and kind face. Until one day...

……

The original Gu poison had been completely exhausted. In order to continue extracting and studying it, Zhou Huijuan planned to collect the original Gu poison from Chen Duo's hand joints.

During the surgery, it was necessary to cut open Chen Duo's hand joints.

Everything should have gone smoothly, just like it has all these years, except for the addition of Zhou Huijuan.

However, when Director Zhou finished extracting the sample and was stitching up Chen Duo's wound, he was stunned.

Those clear green eyes, with a faint shimmer of water, held a breathtaking quality.

Until others reminded him, Director Zhou, who was lost in thought, did not see the tears falling; instead, the water gradually dried up.

"Was she like this before?"

"Yes."

Zhou Huijuan felt a pang of heartache and gently stroked Chen Duo's cheek: "Unfortunate child, it's okay to cry if you want to. Grandma is sorry for you, I should have given you a beating..."

Zhou Huijuan couldn't continue speaking; her voice choked with emotion.

Cutting open the skin like this to extract the poison from the joints would be a severe form of torture in any dynasty!

Logically, anesthesia should be administered to alleviate much of the pain.

The crucial problem is that the anesthetic has no effect on Chen Duo at all!

Therefore, Chen Duo had to endure this inhumane torture while in a state of extreme lucidity!

This is what I was thinking about.

Zhou Huijuan felt a sharp pain in her heart; this child was so unfortunate!
Why is there such an unfortunate person as her in this world!

While other children her age were enjoying the beauty of school life, her fragile life had to bear so much unbearable weight.

Zhou Huijuan's emotions surged like a river, impossible to express, and she couldn't help but ask, "Over the years, haven't you thought of any way to alleviate the pain she suffered during the extraction of the original Gu poison?"

The other supporting researchers remained silent.

Zhou Huijuan realized she had lost her composure: "I'm sorry, the old lady misspoke, but alas! This child is so pitiful."

At this time.

Sun Kai whispered a reminder: "Director Zhou, it's time to extract the original Gu poison from the other elbow joint."

Zhou Huijuan nodded sullenly, then turned to Chen Duo and gave her a kind smile, as if looking at her lively granddaughter: "Little Chen, bear with it, don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."

As the forefront of scientific research at Nadutong, the technology inside the bunker is unimaginable to outsiders. Some have even suggested removing Chen Duo's internal organs.

The key is not how to remove it, but whether removing it can truly ensure Chen Duo's life for a period of time.

However, it is clear that this proposal was rejected by Liao Zhong and Zhang Huaidan.

As for cutting open her joints to remove the original Gu poison, that would not harm Chen Duo at all, and could even alleviate the concentration of the original Gu poison in her body to some extent.

Chen Duo's other hand joint was cut open.

As Zhou Huijuan extracted the poison, she saw the watery light in those clear green eyes again, and the pain in her heart intensified, a feeling of guilt that was hard to dispel.

This little girl was already in such a miserable state, and these people still cut open her limbs. How cruel is that!
Without extracting the original Gu poison, research cannot be conducted, and her condition will remain largely unresolved.

Therefore, to do something knowing it is so cruel is beyond cruelty.

A deep hatred for the Medicine Immortal Society, which Zhou Huijuan had never met, welled up within her heart.

After the poison was extracted from both hands, Zhou Huijuan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his still watery eyes, she said softly, "Xiao Chen, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to treat you."

Whether it's due to sympathy or an overabundance of pity, it's all part of the equation.

In short, Zhou Huijuan felt extremely sorry for this young girl whom she had only known for a few days and had not even had any effective communication with.

Sun Kai, one of the assistant researchers, saw that the kind old lady was sad and whispered words of comfort:
"Director Zhou is right. Our Dark Fortress is at the forefront of technology everywhere, so we can definitely cure the Gu-stricken Saint Child. Besides, we also have Huai Danzhen..."

Zhou Huijuan took a few deep breaths to calm herself: "Master Huaidan?"

Realizing what was happening, he exclaimed, "Is there a connection between Master Huaidan and Xiao Chen?"

Sun Kai looked somewhat embarrassed and gave an awkward smile.

Actually, it's not really a big secret over the years. Anyone who has stayed in the Dark Fort for a few years has seen Liao Zhong accompany Master Huaidan and Chen Duo to the Dark Fort.

Although Liao Zhong didn't explicitly state the relationship, the people in the hidden fortress weren't blind; they could always glean some clues.

But I forgot that Director Zhou, who was newly sent to provide support, was completely unaware of this.

After Chen Duo's original Gu poison was extracted and her wounds were stitched up, Zhou Huijuan immediately became interested upon hearing this: "What is the relationship between Master Huaidan and Little Chen?"

His gaze swept over everyone present, and everyone felt somewhat awkward.

Sun Kai forced a smile and said, "They're probably siblings?"

Zhou Huijuan wasn't entirely sure, but she didn't dwell on it too much: "What could he possibly do to solve Xiao Chen's problem?"

At this point, Sun Kai perked up: "Director, you don't know, Master Huai Dan is incredibly powerful!"

Although Sun Kai was a researcher, he was still relatively young. Researchers are not necessarily as rigid as outsiders might imagine, and he greatly admired Zhang Huaidan's deeds.

Zhou Huijuan listened to this, but wasn't particularly interested. Instead, she secretly pondered: 'A sibling relationship?'

A glance at Chen Duo revealed a startling surprise. Ignoring the enthusiastic Sun Kai, his eyes were fixed on those bright green eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, two glistening lines of water slid down from the corners of her eyes.

Zhou Huijuan was shocked. Despite the pain of having her arm cut open to extract the original Gu poison, Xiao Chen did not shed a tear.

Why did Master Huaidan cry?

What does this mean?
This shows that Zhang Huaidan was someone who caused her pain!
'wrong! ’

However, judging from the expressions of Sun Kai and the others, that was clearly not the case!

Zhou Huijuan also has considerable knowledge in psychology and keenly sensed a strong sense of incongruity!
Sun Kai asked, puzzled, "Director Zhou, what's wrong?"

Zhou Huijuan's expression changed slightly: "Over the years, you've been extracting the original Gu poison, and Xiao Chen has been doing all of that..."

Sun Kai sighed: "Yeah, if only the anesthesia could work. It's so painful to see her in so much pain but not even daring to shed a tear... Hey, Chen Duo is actually crying, what's going on?"

……

Sun Kai came to his senses and looked at Director Zhou, who was glaring angrily at Master Huai Dan. He felt a mix of emotions; wasn't this also a form of displaced anger?

Zhang Huaidan glanced at her: "Whether Chen Duo should leave this world is not something you should be thinking about."

Zhou Huijuan screamed wildly, "Zhang Huaidan, you don't understand! You don't understand anything at all!"

Seeing that she seemed rather aggressive, Liao Zhongxiao was taken aback and subtly stepped in front of Zhang Huaidan.

It wasn't that I was afraid Zhou Huijuan would hurt Zhang Huaidan, but rather that she would offend Huaidan herself. "Director Zhou, please be rational."

"Reason? What reason do you want me to have?!"

Zhou Huijuan's voice was hoarse like an owl's as she stretched out her claw-like hand and pointed at Chen Duo behind the one-way glass.

Do you even know what kind of torture Xiao Chen suffers every day?

Sun Kai's heart skipped a beat.

Liao Zhong shook his head, both amused and exasperated: "How could that be? Who would torture her, inside or outside the bunker!"

Suddenly, Zhou Huijuan, who had been speaking sternly, fell silent.

Liao Zhong's breath hitched, as if a dark cloud had suddenly been replaced by bright sunshine, creating a sense of disorientation.

But Zhou Huijuan waved her hand weakly: "For her, the pain of cutting her joints to extract the original Gu poison was a kind of relief, so relief that she couldn't help but shed tears."

"Ugh!"

Sun Kai sighed deeply.

He and other researchers found the result utterly absurd.

However, as it turns out, Zhou Huijuan was right.

Liao Zhongxin was deeply shaken: "Director Zhou, what do you mean by that?"

Zhou Huijuan said softly, "Don't you understand? In order to suppress the Gu poison in her body, the child suffered pain comparable to being slowly sliced ​​to death, every moment, every minute, every second, without stopping. She just didn't show it."

'Gulp~~'

Liao Zhong's throat tightened, and he felt a strong, unknown shock to his heart.

He said in a trembling voice, "Director Zhou, it may not be as exaggerated as you say."

Zhou Huijuan did not refute, her gaze drifting towards Chen Duo in the protective room. The feeling in her heart grew stronger, driving her to get off the bed and approach the wall. Her bright green eyes blinked like a fluttering butterfly.

Zhou Huijuan had never seen such vibrant color on her face in a long time, and her aged heart trembled slightly.

She should be wearing a well-fitting school uniform, with her long, flowing hair, basking in the warm sunshine.

Only the golden sunlight can bring out the true charm of those emerald-like eyes.

Thinking of this, a tearing pain swirled in her heart, and Zhou Huijuan's voice became hoarse:

"As she grew up, the original Gu poison became fully developed. The pain she is currently enduring is so intense that even the most resilient person would not be able to bear it for even a second."

Turning around, murky tears welled up: "Master Huaidan, I'm begging you, let her go. You can't cure her, and neither can I. To this world, she is destined to be a passerby."

Liao Zhong hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

Over the years, he has taken meticulous care of Chen Duo, which may have been intended to establish a deeper connection with Zhang Huaidan through her. It is believed that the board of directors' allocation of a large sum of money to Chen Duo was also for this reason.

If Chen Duo dies, this connection will inevitably fade.

However, at this moment, Liao Zhong couldn't utter a single word.

Perhaps in the end, death is truly the only final and best destination for Chen Duo.

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "Old man, what do you think you're talking about? You're deciding the fate of a life."

Zhou Huijuan's eyes widened: "But!"

Zhang Huaidan shook her head and laughed, "You don't have that qualification, and neither do I. Only she does."

Zhou Huijuan could not answer, and could only remain silent, silently gazing at Zhang Huaidan.

At this moment, all the emotions in my heart have been released, and I can observe the young man in front of me from a more objective perspective.

Almost instantly, she couldn't deny that this demeanor was the most unique she had ever seen.

The term "unique" seems to have been tailor-made for him.

However, she already had a fixed opinion about Chen Duo.

He has never experienced any human pleasure, only endless suffering.

Living a life worse than death is worse than facing death with equanimity.

However, upon seeing the young man's smile, Zhou Huijuan couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

What right does she have to be so arrogant as to decide the lives of others?
Two conflicting ideas were raging in my mind, and neither could completely convince the other.

Suddenly, the image of Chen Duo's tears sliding down her cheeks flashed into her mind. What exactly did this young man mean to Xiao Chen?

As he pondered, a calm voice echoed down the corridor: "Brother Liao, open the door."

Zhou Huijuan's thoughts were immediately pulled back to reality. She looked at the indifferent young man in surprise: "What did you say! Do you know what you're saying?"

The Gu poison that Chen Duo is now uncontrollably releasing can kill an adult African elephant with just a tiny wisp!

Does Zhang Huaidan truly understand the significance of his own name?
Liao Zhong opened his mouth: "Real person..."

Zhang Huaidan said, "I understand, I don't want to say any more."

Liao Zhong had no choice but to have someone bring the keys. He entered the password three times, and after verifying that it was correct each time, the two keys were handed to him.

Zhou Huijuan's voice was heavy: "Master Huaidan, don't do anything foolish."

No matter how strong one is, what can one do against such a potent poison?

It was a potent, pervasive poison, not an opponent that could be defeated with a fist.

Liao Zhongdao said, "Master Huaidan's mind is made up; there's no point in us saying anything more."

Liao Zhong was also feeling uneasy. In the past, the golden light of Master Huai Dan could isolate the Gu poison emitted by Chen Duo.

But now the potency of Chen Duo's poison has increased significantly. Can the real person's golden light protect him?

Sun Kai clenched his fists, feeling his heart leap into his throat.

The three were filled with unease, while Zhang Huaidan had already opened the first door and entered the purification area.

Once the main gate is closed, use the second key to open the door to the protective room.

The moment the door opened, clear green eyes shone through, and the poison in the room surged up, indeed much more intense than before.

However, Zhang Huaidan continued to breathe normally and remained expressionless.

This scene left the three people outside completely stunned. Zhou Huijuan murmured to herself, "This...this only requires a single strand to kill...how could he..."

Suddenly I understood.

Not only Liao Zhong, but even Zhao Fangxu had specifically instructed her before coming to the South China bunker that she must pay close attention to Chen Duo's problem.

But in the next instant, the shock in her heart was ruthlessly buried by another kind of shock!

The colors that burst forth from those clear green eyes surpassed the most vibrant colors on earth; they were a dazzling beauty she had never seen before.

In that moment of excitement, it seemed as if my feelings resonated with Chen Duo's for a fleeting instant.

Suddenly I understood.

Her savior has arrived. (End of Chapter)
