One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

Saving Chen Duo was something Su Mu had considered from the very beginning.

Although in the original novel, Chen Duo voluntarily chose to die, it was only because she knew that she had killed Liao Zhong and had no other choice that she chose to die.

If there were other options, Su Mu believed that Chen Duo would not want to die either.

With my current abilities, saving Chen Duo shouldn't be a problem.

Legally speaking, Chen Duo did kill someone, and the company needs to provide an explanation.

The best solution is to first use the Thousand Winds Decree to make Chen Duo withdraw from the world.

In her secluded state, Chen Duo is not affected by time, so the Gu poison in her body will not take effect, and she will not suffer any pain.

Once I obtain the Soul-Binding and Commanding skill, I'll release Chen Duo and let her die once first.

After she dies, I will use the Spirit Binding Technique to bind her, and then use the Rejuvenating Wind to reshape her body and resurrect her.

Legally speaking, she has already died once, so she can at least give herself a satisfactory answer.

When I'm in a state of seclusion, I might occasionally enter that state and chat with Chen Duo.

Of course, although she had planned all of this, whether or not to save her in the end was up to Chen Duo herself.

I don't want to become the second Liao Zhong.

Thinking of this, Su Mu stood up immediately.

"You two continue talking, I'm going out for a walk."

Su Mu went out and headed straight for where Chen Duo lived.

Before long, he arrived at Chen Duo's door.

This time, however, it was I who led all the temporary workers to join Biyou Village.

But clearly, Ma Xianhong guessed that their target was Chen Duo.

So at Chen Duo's door, Su Mu still encountered Qiu Rang and Zhong Xiaolong, who were guarding the place.

As soon as Su Mu approached, Zhong Xiaolong stepped forward and said, "Hey, stop! Don't go any further."

"Didn't someone already come here before? Why are they here again?"

"You know-it-alls aren't welcome here!"

Su Mu raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Qiu Rang stepped forward and covered Zhong Xiaolong's mouth.

"Hey, Su-ge, my buddy here had his brain slammed in a door last night, he said things without thinking, don't mind him!"

"Um, you're here to see Chen Duo, right?"

"Please, please, please!"

Qiu Rang dragged Zhong Xiaolong aside.

Su Mu smiled slightly.

Yes, that's a good eye.

Su Mu stepped forward and pushed open the door to enter.

Once the door was closed, Qiu Rang finally released Zhong Xiaolong.

Zhong Xiaolong shoved Qiu Rang aside, asking with a hint of anger, "Brother Qiu, why are you stopping me?"

"Idiot!" Qiu Rang raised his hand and smacked him on the head. "If I don't stop you, you're going to regret it!"

Do you know who he is?

Who is it?

"He's Su Mu, whom the cult leader specifically invited to join!"

"Just because he's someone the cult leader values?"

"No, you don't understand how terrible he is."

Qiu Rang shuddered as he spoke.

"Yesterday, I just made a little mockery of him, and then he not only made me run back to the village, but I also got beaten up by the others."

"In short, this guy is definitely a monster inside. Stay away from him and don't mess with him!"

Zhong Xiaolong swallowed hard and nodded.

Inside the room, Su Mu saw Chen Duo sitting against the wall.

"hello."

Su Mu waved and greeted him.

Chen Duo glanced at him briefly before looking down.

"Hello there."

The expected indifference.

Su Mu ignored her and walked up to her, asking, "Chen Duo, I want to ask you a question. If I can help you get rid of the Gu poison in your body, repay the lives lost at the company, and let everything start over..."

"Do you want to live, or die?"

Chen Duo remained silent and did not speak.

But her heart was in turmoil.

To be honest, she actually wanted to die.

I grew up in the Medicine Immortal Society and was raised as a Gu, without any knowledge of what a human being should have.

After being rescued from the Medicine Immortal Society by Lao Meng, he became a temporary worker, learned a lot, and broke through the Medicine Immortal Society's blockade on his consciousness.

But after being given the right to choose by Ma Xianhong, she could never forget that feeling.

The reason I went to see Liao Zhong afterward was to confirm whether Liao Zhong could give me the right to choose and whether he could agree with my choice.

Unfortunately, in the end, Liao Zhong still didn't understand himself.

She knew that Liao Zhong was a good person and was very grateful to him.

But Liao Zhong blocked his way.

Now that Liao Zhong has been killed by him, he is somewhat unsure of what the meaning of his life is anymore.

Not to mention that he was also responsible for someone's death and was being hunted down by the company.

To be honest, if it weren't for helping Ma Xianhong complete his mission yesterday, I probably would have just let them arrest me.

But now, this Su Mu actually claims that he can free himself from the Gu poison and repay the life lost?

Putting everything else aside, I sincerely hope to get rid of the Gu poison.

Ever since I was infected with the Gu poison when I was a child, I have been suffering from the pain of the Gu poison.

Even now, they are still using the protective suits made by the company and their Qi to suppress the Gu.

How much easier would it be if I could get rid of the Gu poison?

If one can live easily and legally, wouldn't one have countless choices?

Thinking of this, a light shone in Chen Duo's eyes.

But it was only for a moment, and that glimmer of light vanished in an instant.

Come on, how could that be?

Putting aside the company's situation, how is he going to clear his name of the murders he's committed?

Even if it could be completely washed away, how would one then cleanse oneself of the poisonous Gu venom?

To some extent, his body had already adapted to the existence of the Gu poison and reached a symbiotic relationship with it.

If I were to clear the poison from my own body, I'm afraid I'd be lying on the ground, dying right there in front of him.

Thinking of this, Chen Duo gently shook her head.

"You can leave now."

"I don't want to trouble others with my affairs anymore."

"I choose to die."

Hearing her say that, Su Mu understood her thoughts—

She wanted to live.

He chose to die simply because he was afraid of causing trouble for himself.

"Why?" Su Mu smiled slightly. "Do you think I can't do it?"

"Yes."

Chen Duo nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I agree with your choice."

Su Mu nodded and turned around.

"But I want to tell you that if you want to live, what I said, whether it's helping you completely get rid of the poison or helping you get rid of the company, is not a lie."

"If you are trapped in a windless place, I will play the song of the heavens for you."

"Never give up hope."

After saying that, Su Mu stepped out of the small house.

As Chen Duo watched Su Mu's departing figure, a glint of light flashed in her eyes once more.

Never give up hope...

If it were really possible...
