Chapter 94 - 94: Found a Person
Ye Xingchen was starving. He put Little Black into his backpack and was about to step on the accelerator when something suddenly jumped out of nowhere. Oh, it was a person and a child at that.
Ye Xingchen subconsciously pulled out his gun and loaded it. “Who is it?”
A ball that was so dirty that its original color could not be seen ran in front of Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen pointed his gun at its head.
“I, I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask, are you willing to take me in?”
This child’s name was Mo Qi. He was originally a little beggar who didn’t even have a name. This name was given to him by the mother of the orphanage’s director. Oh, it wasn’t him. It was her. This was a girl.
“I, I know your secret. I’m willing to use my secret to exchange with you!”
Mo Qi raised her hands and walked towards Ye Xingchen with a look of surrender.
“Stand there and don’t move, or I’ll shoot.”
Ye Xingchen frowned. He was annoyed when he saw Mo Qi slowly moving towards him. He didn’t want to hear any secrets. He just wanted to go home and have a good meal.
“I’m not interested in your secrets, but you can tell me what secrets you know about me.”
Ye Xingchen was a little curious. What secrets could a stranger know about him? He searched his mind and found that he really did not know the person in front of him.
“Do you have a special power? Can you conjure items out of thin air? I’ve seen you several times, and I’ve seen you conjure something with your bare hands each time.”
Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows. Her voice wasn’t loud, and as the wind blew, no one else could hear her. Should he kill her or keep her alive? Ye Xingchen was pondering in his heart. After all, this little brat knew his secret.
“That’s right. Then tell me, what’s your secret?”
Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger. A bullet shot out of the barrel.
After thinking about it, he thought that it was better for those who knew his secret to die. After all, only the dead could keep secrets forever.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qi turned her palm and a purple lightning bolt shot out from her palm, blocking Ye Xingchen’s bullet.
“You scared me to death! What are you doing?! Why didn’t you listen to me and want to kill me!”
Mo Qi looked aggrieved. She had no ill intentions. She just wanted a place to go. She didn’t know where she was. She was knocked unconscious and thrown into the suburbs after the apocalypse.
Ye Xingchen was shocked. He saw that his bullet was actually blocked by someone. He was shocked and immediately took a defensive posture.
He actually ran into someone supernatural on his trip?!
Ye Xingchen thought that he was the only superpower user since the apocalypse began.
“Sorry, the gun went off.”
Ye Xingchen put the pistol back to his waist and shrugged while touching his pocket. He had already taken out the top of a wooden stick from his space, and the other half was still in the space.
“As you can see, I have the ability to control lightning. Although I don’t know why 1 have this ability, 1 sincerely want you to take me in!”
Mo Qi felt wronged. She was starving in this world of ice and snow. There were not many people in the suburbs. For so many days, she had to rely on eating snow and occasionally digging out garbage to survive.
“I swear, 1 swear, I really have no ill intentions!”
Mo Qi’s eyes were red. Her legs were weak. If she had reacted a second slower, she would have died here.
“I can do anything for you. I’m willing to do anything for you as long as you’re willing to give me a bite.”
Of course, Ye Xingchen wouldn’t trust a stranger so easily. However, he had to admit that the thunderbolt that Mo Qi released just now was too appealing.
He really needed such a person with special abilities to work for him now.
However, Ye Xingchen didn’t believe in coincidence. If Mo Qi’s ability was known by others, it might be a big threat to her.
“Alright, but I don’t believe you. Come closer. 1 can’t see what you look like.”
Mo Qi was only an 11- or 12-year-old child. She was naive and didn’t know that Ye Xingchen was just trying to coax her to come closer. She thought that Ye Xingchen had relaxed and wanted to take her in.
“Really? I can wash clothes! I can cook! I know how to do housework! I know everything!”
“Before, the orphanage director’s mother even praised me for being capable!”
Mo Qi lowered her head and counted with her fingers as she walked towards Ye Xingchen. Just as she was about to lift her head and untie the scarf on her face, Ye Xingchen pulled out a wooden stick from the space and hit the back of her head.
Mo Qi fell to the ground. Ye Xingchen took out insulation tape and rope from the space and tied Mo Qi up. At the same time, he searched for sleeping pills in the space.
He pulled off the scarf around Mo Qi’s face, pinched her mouth open, and poured half a bottle of sleeping pills directly into Mo Qi’s mouth.
Ye Xingchen even lifted her head and shook it up and down, then stuffed a handful of snow into her mouth. After making sure that she had swallowed all the sleeping pills, he took out a travel bag and put her inside.
It was already nine o’clock at night when they arrived home. Ye Xingchen carried Little Black with one hand and Mo Qi with the other and went upstairs.
“You’re back?”
Lin Sijia was stunned when she saw Ye Xingchen come back with big and small bags. Then, she went up to Ye Xingchen and took the two big bags from him.
“All!”
As soon as she opened the travel bag, Lin Sijia’s hands trembled in fear.
There was a filthy person inside and a pile of what looked like frozen pills.
“W-what is this? W-why is there a person here?!”
Ye Xingchen didn’t care. He was already starving. After handing the bag to Lin Sijia, he went straight into the kitchen and began to wash his hands and serve the dishes.
“I found her on the road. Let’s eat first. We’ll deal with her later.”
Ye Xingchen took a bowl of rice and put it into his mouth. Other than the dishes prepared by Lin Sijia, there were also finished dishes that Ye Xingchen took out from his space. The table was filled.
Lin Sijia first checked Mo Qi’s pulse, then lifted her eyelids to take a look. She found that she had a slight concussion.
Other than severe malnutrition, she did not seem to have any major problems.
Lin Sijia frowned, but she obediently went to wash her hands and sat beside Ye Xingchen. She took a bite and looked up at the person lying in the bag.
“What happened with you today? Is it the same as last time?”
Lin Sijia looked at the table full of dishes and felt a little worried. Ye Xingchen slowly took a bite of food and responded vaguely.
“The little girl you brought back is quite malnourished..”
