Chapter 145 I'm sorry
chapter 145
The next morning, Xu Guo left the A3 area.
As for where he went, Meng Youcheng did not ask, only believing that everyone has their own mission, and that taking Fu Lian to the A4 region was his own mission.
The next 14 days passed in a very fragmented way, hard to describe, mainly because his relationship with Fu Lian had undergone a subtle change, and Fu Lian began to treat him as a potential partner.
Meng Youcheng didn't know why he didn't resist. He comforted himself, thinking that he just wanted to complete the mission.
Time flies by, and the time is almost up.
They left region A3 and were on their way to region A4.
As they were about to part, the old lady came over, took out the food she had prepared, and told them to be careful on their journey.
Looking at the elderly man, Fu Lian felt an indescribable sadness. Many people had gathered here to watch them leave, and this scene brought tears to the young man's eyes.
He didn't say a word, and turned and left.
Fu Lian and Meng Youcheng walked for a long time when suddenly the young man stopped. "Major General..."
Meng Youcheng turned and looked at him. "What's wrong?"
Aren't you going to ask me why I'm going to the A4 region?
Meng Youcheng pondered for a moment, then continued forward, "If you want to tell me, I think you will. If you don't want to tell me, no matter what I ask, you won't..."
"I'm saying I want to tell you something now, do you want to hear it?"
Meng Youcheng stopped in his tracks, turned around and glanced at him, "I..."
Fu Lian stepped forward and stood before him. "Let me go. Before I make a terrible mistake, let me leave here. I don't want to... continue down this path, otherwise I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life, and I'll even feel less and less worthy of you..."
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "I..."
Fu Lian's eyes filled with tears. "I wasn't the mastermind behind this. I'm not, as the rumors say, the one who caused all this. I was just a puppet being manipulated..."
"I don't know why, maybe it's because of my special constitution, but I became the strongest mutant, and directly became his puppet. Everything originated from him, and I don't want to do those things for him..."
"He kidnapped my sister, and I had no choice but to do it. I couldn't beat him, because the reason I became a mutant, that poisonous smoke, was all his doing. He could control me and prevent me from getting close to him. For my sister's sake, I had no other choice but to do this..."
"Because my sister is my everything."
Meng Youcheng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who is this 'him' you're talking about?"
"He wanted me to call him Doctor, and I've always called him Doctor..."
Fu Lian lowered his head, tears streaming down his face. "I don't know why, but a while ago he gave me an order. He said it was my last mission, and if I completed it, he would release my sister and let her return to my side..."
"He ordered me to be arrested by you, to enter region A4, and to kill the king. I didn't think about anything at the time because I knew this was my last mission. As long as I completed it, my sister could return to me safely, so I had to do it. But now I..."
Fu Lian rubbed his head vigorously. "I don't know... I'm so scared right now. I feel like if I do what he says, the whole world will turn upside down. The more I think about it, the more scared I get. Why does he want me to kill the king? Is it because he wants to seize power...?"
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. I feel that he must have his reasons for asking me to do this. He is not a good person; he is a cruel and wicked man. He killed many people to complete his experiments. I feel that if I do this, everyone in this world could potentially suffer devastating harm because of my decision..."
Meng Youcheng remained silent. Seeing the boy's pained expression, he wanted to step forward to comfort him, but stopped himself.
Fu Lian suddenly looked up at him, tears streaming down her face. "Major General, can you please spare me? I don't want to kill anyone, but I want to save my sister. Please let me go!"
"I want to save my sister. As long as I know she's safe, I'll do anything you ask, even die. But please, my sister is in grave danger, I have to save her. I really don't want to kill anyone... I don't want to..."
Looking at Fu Lian in front of him, Meng Youcheng felt a strange mix of emotions.
He was about to speak when the boy knelt heavily on the ground. "Please, Major General, let me save my sister. Just rescue her, just see her safe and sound, I'd be willing to die for you..."
Fu Lian repeated his words while desperately kowtowing, "Please, Major General, I really don't want to kill anyone. I really don't want this world to be turned upside down because of me, or for everyone to be hurt because of me. Major General, I'm begging you, please let me go. As long as I rescue my sister, I will come back to face my death..."
Looking at the scene before him, Meng Youcheng suddenly felt a suffocating sensation wash over him.
Just then, the previously clear sky suddenly roared, and a sudden, inexplicable storm began to pour down...
Fu Lian knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly...
How similar the scenes are...
Hearing Fu Lian call out "sister" again and again, and hearing him plead, "I beg you...", Meng Youcheng felt a pang of sympathy.
At that moment, Meng Youcheng's eyes glazed over; he seemed to see his former self...
On the same rainy day, kneeling on the same ground, crying out in unison, with similar words and identical actions, each act struck a nerve with the man's most vulnerable heart...
Meng Youcheng stood there dumbfounded...
The rain poured down, and Fu Lian knelt and kowtowed. His voice gradually amplified in the rain, brazenly intruding into Meng Youcheng's ears, making him dizzy and his eyes blurry...
Like a single strand of hair, it ultimately couldn't hold onto a large rock, letting it crash heavily onto its heart. The lack of outward reaction was because it hadn't yet come to its senses...
By the time I realized what was happening, I felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
All the problems Meng Youcheng is facing now, all the difficulties he is encountering, including becoming like this, are all because of his sister...
Meng Youcheng dislikes his current self. He used to be incredibly innocent, but now he's become scheming and plotting against others, gradually turning bad...
The turning point that led him to this state was his sister's situation.
At this moment, this question inexplicably arises: If you encountered your most difficult self, would you be willing to lend a helping hand?
Meng Youcheng took several deep breaths and took a step forward...
[002: Meng Youcheng, I'm here to give you a new mission. As long as you don't help him, you'll get your 30. Not only that, but if you take him to the A4 region, you'll also get your 72...]
[002: This is the simplest task. As long as you do this, readers will definitely be outraged, and you'll definitely get a lot of traffic and discussion. For a money-grubber like you, it's a 100% beneficial thing!]
Meng Youcheng was stunned...
Fu Lian continued kowtowing, "Major General, I beg you, please let me go, I need to save my sister..."
[002: If you really release him, the task I assigned you will be considered a failure, and your 30 will be lost. Not only that, if he breaks his promise and escapes, your 72 will also be lost. I believe in you; I will definitely make the best choice.]
Yes……
Fu Lian was trying to save his sister; it had nothing to do with him.
Meng Youcheng came here solely for the money. Before he came, he had made up his mind that no matter what happened, he had to ensure the mission could be completed. He was more desperate for money than anyone else, and this matter threatened his mission, including the extra 30 yuan. He couldn't do that.
"sorry……"
Meng Youcheng gritted his teeth, letting the rain drip down his body, and said, "I can't do this. I have to complete my mission. I... can't let you go."
Fu Lian's hands gripped the ground tightly, frozen in place, her body trembling slightly, and a faint sob could be heard...
After a long while, the boy raised his head...
His eyes were red-rimmed, indistinguishable between raindrops and tears. He closed his eyes tightly, feeling the relentless pounding of the rain, before finally opening them and smiling, saying, "It's alright. This was your mission to begin with. Besides, even if I went back, I might not be able to save my sister. After all, I'm the real useless one, utterly worthless..."
Fu Lian twitched his brow, as if he were about to cry, but he held it back. He sighed softly, "It's getting late, let's leave as soon as possible. You know... why did it suddenly start raining so heavily? Is it... that God knows I'm going to die and is cheering here?"
Meng Youcheng grabbed one of his hands, "I'm sorry..."
Fu Lian frowned, tears still streaming down his face, his clothes already soaked with rain. He shook his head, sobbing, without saying a word, shook off his hand, and started walking forward...
Just then, Fu Lian suddenly lost his balance and fell down.
Meng Youcheng immediately hugged him tightly. "What's wrong, Fu Lian?"
Fu Lian looked up at him, "I really... don't want to die."
