BC Chapter 123

Chapter 122

Inside a shopping mall enveloped in darkness, it was silent and empty. Lu Ziming lay in the center of the lobby on the first floor. A scorching, unbearable heat seemed to permeate from her bones, as if a fire ignited from the depths of her soul was constantly devouring her. Lu Ziming, in her unconscious state, didn’t know where she was, only that the unbearable pain clung to her like a persistent disease, impossible to get rid of. This caused her limbs to twitch and tear uncontrollably. Her eyes were tightly shut, but her hands were desperately pulling at her clothes, with such force that the shirt and T-shirt on her body were torn apart, yet she didn’t stop, as if trying to rip the fire that was making her wish she were dead from her body. Her body writhed and floundered uncontrollably on the cold marble floor.

In the dimly lit mall, Xu Rubing simply leaned against a pillar beside the entrance to the lobby, twisting open the cap of a mineral water bottle and slowly squeezing the bottle. One bottle after another, she continuously drank down the entire pack of mineral water beside her to suppress the urge to pounce on Lu Ziming and tear her apart. Perhaps it was because she had devoured too much flesh and blood when she was seeking revenge on those who had bullied her before, but her tolerance for the attraction of fresh human flesh and blood was getting worse and worse.

She could barely restrain herself in front of others, but when facing Lu Ziming, she always wanted to bite down, regardless of the consequences. Although the instinctive urge of the evolving virus to merge was also driving her, she still felt that Lu Ziming was different from others. She had a kindness in her bones. Although all her actions seemed to be those of an ordinary person trying to protect herself, her behavior of subconsciously disregarding her own life to save others sometimes betrayed her true heart. She wasn’t good with words and was often silent, but she had no intention of hurting or scheming against others. In Xu Rubing’s eyes, she was simply the epitome of a white rabbit in this evil world. Or maybe…was it because the flesh and blood of good people tasted better? Was that why she always had the urge to bite her when facing her?

Xu Rubing vaguely remembered that she used to be like that too, never easily harming even small animals or insects that wouldn’t hurt people…

But now…

She seemed to understand.

For her, a light in the darkness was always particularly dazzling. That was why she wanted to snuff out this light with her own hands, just like Lu Ziming had an inexplicable sense of wariness towards her. She also wanted to find an opportunity to destroy Lu Ziming.

But why…?

She raised her right hand, wrapped in cloth strips, and examined it from side to side. Traces of blood had already seeped through the outermost layer. She let out a self-deprecating laugh and lowered her hand, looking in the direction of Lu Ziming.

She clearly wanted to kill her and eat the tenderest flesh on her body, but why did she end up choosing to feed her her own blood?

They say a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Now, Xu Rubing couldn’t even understand her own heart.

Xu Rubing understood the extent of the pain of the second evolution. It was also after the second evolution that she realized that her sensitivity to human emotions had become even colder and more 南.

In that case, she must have wanted to make Lu Ziming as callous as herself, so she chose this method to ruin her.

Now, she would no longer show those inappropriate moments of weakness in front of her.

Choosing to make her like herself, she would no longer have that feeling of inferiority in front of her.

That’s it, it must be like that.

Calculating the time, it was almost over. Lu Ziming, who had been struggling fiercely just now, had finally quieted down. Xu Rubing stood up and slowly walked towards Lu Ziming. When she got close, she squatted down to observe her condition.

Her clothes had been torn to shreds by herself, with only the inner underwear stubbornly intact. Her skin was covered with many blood-red scratches, and her face and body were soaked with sweat. But somehow, it had a seductive meaning in Xu Rubing’s eyes.

The scene before her made Xu Rubing subconsciously swallow. Then she realized that she was actually lusting after Lu Ziming’s body!

The explosive impact of this discovery was no less than a bolt from the blue striking Xu Rubing’s head.

She suddenly stood up, turned around in a hurry, widened her eyes in disbelief, and hurriedly slapped her cheeks with her hands, trying to calm her brain down.

…Wait! Could it be that she didn’t really want to eat Lu Ziming, but only had the urge to “eat” Lu Ziming or let Lu Ziming “eat” her?

Of course, the former Xu Rubing wouldn’t have understood what these impulsive emotions meant. After all, the environment she grew up in was too monotonous and simple, and she never had the opportunity to learn about this kind of knowledge. It was only later, when she was a dogsbody for those wealthy young masters in the team for a long time, that she gradually passively learned about some things that she didn’t understand or didn’t want to understand.

So, although it was late, Xu Rubing finally realized what she really wanted.

But soon, she shook her head and denied herself. She had long abandoned all inappropriate emotions for the sake of revenge, let alone such extravagant feelings. Even if she really fell in love with Lu Ziming, the two of them could not develop a happy ending story. She had eaten the flesh and blood of her enemies, and she also knew that Lu Ziming was mostly wary and disgusted with her. From any point of view, she could be sure that Lu Ziming could never fall in love with her.

So, when she turned back, her face had returned to calm. She squatted down and patted Lu Ziming’s face with the back of her hand, calling out, “Hey, wake up.”

Lu Ziming, who had successfully survived the second evolution, had actually regained consciousness at this time, but she had fallen into a deep sleep because she had exhausted her physical strength.

Under Xu Rubing’s call, Lu Ziming, who had her eyes closed, finally woke up slowly. She blinked her eyes and reacted for a while before her eyes finally became more agile. Then, after seeing Xu Rubing beside her, her eyes were filled with confusion, and she asked in a somewhat uncertain and hoarse voice, “Who are you…”
