She is very generous (Chapter 102)
Despite the strange underwater creature that suddenly sank to the bottom of the pool, the members of the Esper Squad decided to stay.
They were going to search carefully in the valley to see if they could find Fu Ruo's traces.
Although the traces left in the pond showed that Fu Ruo was more than lucky, the other team members could not accept it.
They felt that a powerful person like Captain Fu would never die like this.
After all, Fu Ruo had fought and won against the S+ polluted creatures—how could she be defeated here!
The ordinary people of the team didn’t know much, but the Esper Squad knew very well.
They also knew that if Fu Ruo really died in the valley pond, they would definitely face a "storm" when they returned to the base.
The officials of the base would rather have their team members die than lose Fu Ruo.
Therefore, it wasn’t so much that staying to find Fu Ruo's traces was about friendship within the team, but rather about the impossibility of explaining her loss to the base.
This was especially true for the two Espers who were fished out of the pond at the end.
After breaking away from the joy of surviving by luck, they immediately faced the cruel reality.
As eyewitnesses, they had to explain the ins and outs to the base and personally deliver the news of Fu Ruo's death.
So, more than anyone else, the two of them wanted the team to stay in the valley.
They were ready to try to find more "evidence" to get themselves out of the situation.
After all, this was just a battle between an esper and polluted creature, death was inevitable!
There were no other cases.
In short, after the team and the Esper Squad made a decision, the two sides immediately split up.
Ye Sheng and Gu Luoyu naturally left with the convoy, but they encountered a little trouble during the period.
When Valkyria tried to keep Ye Sheng on the pretext of assisting in the investigation, Gu Luoyu took direct action and erased her memory again.
At the same time, good things came in pairs. Even Ling Lan didn’t escape.
Although the frequent use of psychic abilities on the same person could cause brain damage, even if the physique of the person with the ability was durable and could withstand, it would still affect them a little.
However, would Gu Luoyu be someone who cared about these things?
Or, was Gu Luoyu a good person?
Since she wasn’t, how could she possibly be kind to others?
Just like how she killed Fu Ruo mercilessly, she didn’t hesitate at all.
Before, she had thought of keeping her as an antidote to a boring life, but when she affected her mood, it was better for her to die.
After all, her own feelings were the most important thing.
That way, she wouldn’t feel bad because of others.
If Valkyria and Ling Lan continued to jump around in front of her, Gu Luoyu wouldn’t mind killing them too.
Anyway, she could find a "cause of death" casually, just like how Fu Ruo was "killed" by a polluted creature this time.
Different from the gloomy and bleak low-pressure atmosphere of the convoy, Gu Luoyu drove away in a car, her red eyes flashing with pleasure, and the corners of her mouth rising upward.
Fortunately, the car was at the back of the line, and the others could not see her good mood.
However, although she had killed people because of unhappiness in the past, the reason for killing Fu Ruo... Gu Luoyu knew in her heart that it wasn’t just because she was in an unhappy mood.
It was more because of Ye Sheng.
She had begun to feel irritated by the suitors who appeared next to Ye Sheng.
This wasn’t normal.
In the past, she would have watched the drama from the sidelines and even hoped that things would become more interesting.
But now, she felt bored, thinking that this "play" wasn’t good.
Gu Luoyu knew that she was gradually changing.
From the beginning, she had wanted to kill Ye Sheng, and then it became okay to keep her by her side.
In the past, when she learned a secret that interested her, she would have done whatever it took to crack it.
But now, she was more patient and "gentle," even though she had always resorted to rough methods before.
This was especially true when it came to Ye Sheng, whose hidden secrets could improve her psychic abilities.
Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Luoyu's raised mouth gradually fell, and anxiety appeared between her eyebrows.
It was an uneasiness born from being disturbed by an abnormal state of mind, one that destroyed her behavioral habits and mindset.
She had a gut feeling.
If she continued to let it go, the final result would definitely not be what she wanted now.
But...
Gu Luoyu looked sideways at Ye Sheng, not expecting their gazes to meet so coincidentally.
The killing intent that had risen in her heart magically dissipated when she saw Ye Sheng quickly avert her eyes like a thief.
Seeing Ye Sheng's blushing face and guilty expression, Gu Luoyu's mood inexplicably improved again.
Such a cute little thing, what could it possibly do to affect her?
As Gu Luoyu's emotions shifted, Ye Sheng grew anxious, convinced that she had narrowly avoided being caught spying like a lovestruck fool.
╰(￣▽￣)╭
She's really patient.
But she couldn’t hold back...
After all, who could refuse a beautiful sister with abs and a vest line?
It was a pity that Gu Luoyu's tattered clothes from the pond had been changed, and the exposed thin waist and abdominal muscles were now covered again.
This made Ye Sheng, sitting in the co-pilot seat, sigh with regret.
However, even through her new clothes, she could still imagine the "beautiful scenery."
Gu Luoyu's figure was truly amazing.
Unlike those women who forcibly exercised to build muscle, her body lines were natural and powerful, exuding a wild beauty that was irresistibly tempting.
Ye Sheng sneakily touched her own soft belly, feeling that people really couldn’t compare!
o(´^｀)o
But she would have abs someday too!
When that time came, she could let Gu Luoyu see them for free, even touch them if she wanted... It wasn’t a big deal.
After all, she was very generous!
……
Compared to the motivation of the convoy when they had set out for the wilderness, the return to the safety zone was exhausting and disappointing.
The goal of this convoy trip had failed.
Not only had they not found Dark Jade Lotus, but they hadn’t even seen a shadow of the lotus leaf... It was a complete waste of time, and they had been terrified in the depths of the wilderness. It was a huge loss!
But when they thought about the people who had been attacked and died, they felt lucky.
At least they had come back alive!
While others were lost in their emotions, Ye Sheng's dark eyes sparkled.
Instead of going home to rest, she dragged Gu Luoyu directly to the commission hall.
Although Dark Jade Lotus hadn’t been brought back, as long as he had set off with the convoy, he would receive basic compensation.
500,000 base points!
As an S-level task that could only be accepted by Espers, the reward wasn’t particularly rich, but Ye Sheng was content.
During the journey back, she had talked with others in the team and found that many people had joined the team reluctantly...
They hadn’t accepted the assignment for the base points from the start.
Instead, they had joined the team because of inside information, hoping to gain other benefits along the way.
Unlike Ye Sheng, who had been focused on Dark Jade Lotus for the base points, they had aimed to bring back samples of Dark Jade Lotus for their respective families.
Their goal was to privately study its specific efficacy and strive to be the first to "update" their knowledge with new information.
It was a pity that this trip had yielded nothing, making it a complete waste of time.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected. Ye Sheng stood in front of the service window in the commission hall.
This time, she didn’t encounter Zhou Lin, the staff member who usually worked there, but another employee.
However, this did nothing to diminish her good mood.
Ye Sheng smiled and said, "Hello, we're here to submit the task.”
