Fu Shinan stared coldly at him. “So, your reason for killing villagers was to vent your frustration? To use their bodies for experiments and dissections?” Even if he had grievances, it was not a reason to take lives. In this world, there were many injustices, but resorting to such actions would only lead to chaos. Moreover, he wasn’t without the means to bring about change.
The High Priest laughed manically. “You can’t blame me for that. They were foolish. I never expected to find such foolish people in this world. But they didn’t die in vain, they improved my dissection skills…”
Fu Shinan’s expression grew even colder. “You’ve brutally dissected so many people, and you still believe they didn’t die in vain? It’s not those innocent people who have caused your injustice, you’re beyond redemption.”
The High Priest sneered, “Innocent? Who is truly innocent? Am I not innocent? I struggled through hardship to make it from a rural area to medical school, thinking I could finally fulfill my ambitions. But because I was poor, they looked down on me. They wouldn’t give opportunities to a powerless, impoverished person like me. I did everything in my power, humbled myself, and finally managed to intern at the hospital, only to be ostracized for lacking connections! I became a pawn for the hospital director’s son… I thought my life would be like that forever. But then, the apocalypse arrived, and I awakened supernatural abilities! I had several of them, hahaha. It’s like a second chance from the heavens! Using my abilities to control those people, dissecting them, and improving my medical skills. In the future, I can save more people. The apocalypse needs me…”
“Shut up,” Fu Shinan didn’t want to hear any more. “In life, who is perfect? You see me as a young surgeon, but you have no idea how much I’ve sacrificed for my medical skills. Since I started studying medicine, I haven’t had a full night’s sleep, living in the laboratory to improve myself, all for the sake of being better. And you? Faced with a little setback, you turned to dark paths. Instead of examining yourself, you blame others. Even if we let you live, you would still be a menace.”
“Don’t waste any more words on him, he’s already gone insane!” Ji Zan picked up Fu Shinan’s stick and put an end to the High Priest’s life.
Ji Zan bent down and absorbed his ability. He wasn’t sure what would happen when two healing abilities overlapped. He tested it by scratching himself, but it only healed the wound without any special effects.
Fu Shinan took over, lying on Ji Zan’s back with her eyes closed, carrying the silent Xiao Chang’an. The little guy behaved well, not making a sound. She patted him gently. “Chang’an, Auntie is holding you! It’s okay now, you can talk.”
When Xiao Chang’an heard this, he dared to open his little eyes and speak. He held onto Fu Shinan’s neck, touched her back, and exclaimed, “Wow, Auntie’s skin is so smooth…”
Ji Zan handled the situation with their abilities, then stood up and saw Xiao Chang’an snuggled against Fu Shinan’s body. He immediately took him into his arms. “Your Auntie is very tired. Uncle will hold you.” Then he turned his face to the side, swallowed hard, and spat out a few mouthfuls of saliva quietly. He whispered, “We’ll take it slow, put your clothes on.”
Fu Shinan suddenly realized that she was still in her underwear, in her haste, she hadn’t had a chance to get dressed. Although it was foggy, making it difficult to see clearly, being this close, she could still be seen to some extent. Thinking about it, her face felt hot. She quickly went to find her clothes.
Once they were all dressed, Fu Shinan, to ease the awkwardness, couldn’t help but reflect, “Another night has passed, time flies! Now that that guy is dead, should we start our journey?”
Ji Zan saw the dark circles under Fu Shinan’s eyes and softened his voice a bit. “Yes, but we’re not in a hurry anymore. You should get some rest first, and we can leave tomorrow.”
Fu Shinan asked, “What about He Zhu and the others? Should we take them with us?”
Ji Zan replied, “It’s up to them. Let them decide.”
Fu Shinan didn’t say anything more.
As they returned to the courtyard, they saw Molly rushing out as if she had been waiting. She looked at Ji Zan gratefully. “Kind sir, thank you. You’ve saved me once again! Without you, I wouldn’t have seen the sun today.”
Ji Zan’s demeanor turned cold and distant again, and he didn’t want to speak.
Seeing this, Molly turned to Fu Shinan. “By the way, I also want to thank Sister Fu!” Then, as if seeking recognition, she turned to Ji Zan. “Big Brother He Zhu has already told me everything, so I know. That’s why you’re all my saviors!”
“You’re too kind,” Fu Shinan yawned and went inside to catch up on her sleep.
Ji Zan was about to leave, but Sun Han stopped him.. “Brother Ji, is the High
Priest dead?”
