Chapter 510 Chen Duo's Bond
Chen Duo's shoulders moved slightly, but she didn't turn around or answer.
Silence spread in the small space, with an unsettling stagnation.
Su Chen looked at her thin back, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Her obedience, her calmness, the seemingly simple wish she made,
And the silence at this moment, all reveal an unusual meaning.
"Chen Duo,"
Su Chen's voice was still calm, but with a hint of inquiry.
“You’re so calm.
From the time I found you until now, you have hardly had any intense emotional fluctuations, even when you heard the execution order from headquarters."
He paused and continued:
"You seem to have accepted a certain ending."
Chen Duo's body stiffened slightly.
She slowly turned around and faced Su Chen.
There was still no expression on her face, and her beautiful eyes looked empty as if covered with a layer of dust.
She looked at Su Chen for a long time, so long that Su Chen thought she would not answer.
Then, she spoke softly, her voice as erratic as a feather, but with a heart-pounding determination:
"I have no intention of doing so."
"Ok?"
Su Chen frowned slightly.
"It's enough to meet Uncle Liao and go shopping."
Chen Duo lowered her eyes.
"I have already thought about what to do next."
Su Chen looked at her quietly, waiting for what to say next.
Chen Duo raised her head and met Su Chen's gaze.
There was no fear or unwillingness in his eyes, only a kind of calmness that was almost like relief.
"I will suppress the original Gu in my body."
Su Chen's pupils narrowed.
"I will use my own consciousness to force it to stop spreading outwards and stop producing poisonous qi."
Chen Duo's voice was very soft, as if she was stating something that had nothing to do with her.
"And then, I'll let it... consume me."
The corners of her mouth even twitched upwards slightly.
It formed an extremely strange arc, as if it was laughing, but it was more heartbreaking than crying.
"That way, it won't hurt anyone anymore and won't cause damage to everything around it."
"In the end, both it and I will completely disappear from this world."
"Use yourself to feed the Gu and put an end to it once and for all?"
Su Chen's voice became low, and he finally understood the source of Chen Duo's unusual calmness.
That was not accepting her fate, but a path of self-destruction that she chose for herself.
The air in the room seemed to freeze. In the dim light,
The strange, almost relieved smile on Chen Duo's face was particularly glaring.
Su Chen looked at her with a frown.
He had anticipated many possibilities, but he had never expected such a mutually destructive outcome.
"Feed the Gu with yourself?"
Su Chen's voice sank.
"Is this the best solution you can think of?"
The smile on Chen Duo's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual calmness, or rather, dead silence.
She nodded slightly:
"Yes. Only in this way can we ensure that it will never hurt anyone again."
Her tone was calm, as if she was discussing the weather rather than her own life or death.
"Have you ever thought that maybe there are other options?"
Su Chen took a step forward, trying to let her see the seriousness in his eyes.
"To end the original Gu completely, you don't necessarily have to sacrifice your life."
Chen Duo raised her eyes, her empty gaze fell on Su Chen's face:
"Other options? Like what?
He was taken back by the company, locked up in a place without sunlight, and kept as a dangerous object for the rest of his life.
Could it be disposed of at any time?
Or, like now, a direct execution order?"
She shook her head gently and lowered her eyes again.
Looking at her slender wrist, there was nothing there, but the invisible shackles had already been engraved into her bones.
“I tried, Su Chen.
From childhood to adulthood, I have been learning to control it and suppress it.
But it's like a part of me, a bomb that can explode at any moment.
No one can really dismantle it except me.”
Her voice was still soft, but it carried a kind of fatigue and despair that penetrated into her bones.
"Uncle Liao cares about you very much." Su Chen changed his angle.
"If you do this, he will..."
"Uncle Liao?"
Chen Duo interrupted him, and for the first time, there was a slight fluctuation in her tone, like a crack in the ice.
“He has done his best.
He has done enough for me over the years.
I don't want him to worry about me anymore, and I don't want him to see me lose control and become a monster."
She paused, and her voice returned to a steady state:
"Let him see me as a normal person and go shopping with him.
It's enough to leave some good memories.
Then I ended it my way, for the betterment of everyone.”
Su Chen was silent.
He looked at the girl in front of him. Beneath her seemingly calm appearance, her heart had long been eroded by despair.
Her logic is clear and her choices are decisive.
It was not a momentary impulse, but a self-exile after careful consideration.
Anyone who tries to persuade others with words like "life is precious" and "the future is promising" will
At this moment, they all seem pale and powerless.
Everything she had experienced had already made her lose trust in these things.
"I see."
Su Chen finally spoke slowly, without trying to force her to change her mind.
Chen Duo seemed a little surprised and looked up at him.
Su Chen's expression was very calm, showing neither agreement nor opposition.
He just nodded:
"You should have a good rest. I'll arrange the shopping."
finished,
He turned around and opened the door.
The door closed gently behind him, blocking out the suffocating darkness.
Su Chen stood in the corridor, his back against the cold wall.
He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
The light in the corridor was a little dazzling, illuminating the solemn look on his face.
Chen Duo's words were still echoing in my ears, and the logic behind that determination was frighteningly clear.
She chose to self-destruct, not simply out of world-weariness, but based on a cruel fact.
The primitive Gu in her body is a huge threat that cannot be controlled.
It was this threat that eventually led to her receiving an execution order from the company.
Her death, in her own eyes,
It's the only way to end this threat and protect everyone once and for all.
Su Chen's eyes calmed down and his mind was working rapidly.
It would not work to simply persuade her to give up the idea.
Her concern lies in the existence of the original Gu itself, and all the pain and danger it brings.
Then, the root of the problem lies in the original Gu.
What if the original Gu is no longer a threat?
What if the original Gu could be removed from Chen Duo's body?
Let her completely turn back into an ordinary person,
One that poses no threat and no longer needs to be regulated.
No longer will she be seen by the company as an ordinary girl who must be eliminated.
Will she still choose self-destruction then?
Will the company still uphold that execution order?
A bold idea gradually took shape in Su Chen's mind.
