Chapter 381: Run

Seeing her finally speak in Chinese, frowning, Virus couldn’t help but ask, "Why weren’t you able to talk just now? What exactly happened to you?"

Unfortunately, instead of providing him with a satisfying answer, Hu Yuexin’s eyebrows immediately closed in to one another as she repeated, "I said... who are you?"

"..."

"You don’t even recognize me? It’s me, Aizen. Aizen Vee." Admitted Virus while gazing right into her eyes.

He went on then, "could it be... you don’t remember a thing? Hmm, let’s start with this... do you know who you are?"

Catching this interrogative question, Hu Yuexin didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she continued staring into Virus’s eyes quietly as if she was contemplating something crucial.

’Where am I?’

’What’s with these strange buildings?’ Examining her surroundings, she pondered in confusion. The modern skyscrapers of Shanghai was indeed a novelty to her.

’A moment before, I was still imprisoned on that damned throne, thinking I’m destined to be stuck there till the arrival of my death. But then, when I periodically tried utilizing that mysterious technique of mine as usual... it suddenly activated for real and then...’ her line of sight began wandering around at this point as it brushed past Amara before it was finally locked on the figure of the golden beauty.

Meanwhile, the sight of those deep pupils only forced odd thoughts to pop into Virus’s head, ’Seriously though, what’s with those eyes... I can swear they are entirely different from before. It’s like I’m gazing into the eyes of a total stranger. Is she perhaps now suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder[1] due to some kind of traumatic brain injury?’

’But... those profound eyes of hers... why do they give me this chilling feeling that I’m gazing at someone who’s very similar to me? Someone who has lived for a very long time I mean. Someone ancient.’

Shaking his head in the end, Virus decided, ’I shouldn’t jump into any conclusions. First, I need to speak to her more.’

And it was exactly at this moment when Hu Yuexin opened her mouth again and confirmed Virus’s notion coldly, "Yes, I do not recall anything. I don’t even know my name. So tell me, what’s this place?"

Considering the situation from Hu Yuexin’s perspective, Virus could only imagine how confused and lost she must be right now. Therefore, letting out a helpless sigh, Virus decided to clarify the situation to her first, "Your name is Hu Yuexin and you live in this city... Shanghai. You have a sick son. His name is..."

After that, Virus provided a brief summary of everything he knew about the person called Hu Yuexin.

"... And that’s everything I know about you."

"But all that aside," getting closer to her at this point, Virus added, "I was genuinely worried about you, Hu Yuexin. I don’t know what that light was or what happened to you as of yet. But whatever it was, I don’t care. What matters to me most is that you’re alive at least."

Following that, abruptly, spreading his arms, Virus hugged her out of nowhere.

Bang!

Shockingly, however, the instant Hu Yuexin was within his embrace, an invisible force was released from her body, which promptly sent the thunderstruck Virus flying away!

By the sidelines, both Amara and the golden beauty seemed to have been greatly dumbfounded by this unexpected turn of events too.

Nonetheless, it didn’t take long before, at some meters away, Virus rose to his feet once again.

Only this time, unbelievably, a trail of blood was drawn on the corner of his mouth while his eyes were wide open due to astonishment. ’W-what the fuck... what was that attack?! I think it directly bypassed my flesh defense and was even able to slightly damage my internal organs...’

In the meantime, externally, he began voicing his disbelief, "What was that attack? Why would you assault me-"

But before he could even finish, Hu Yuexin’s icy tone interrupted him, "Never, Touch me again."

"Ever."

On the contrary, however, this chain of events had only intensified Virus’s curiosity regarding her weird condition even further. Thus, recalling the strange attack, Virus asked, "How did you become this powerful, Hu Yuexin? A mere Dissociative Identity Disorder can no longer explain it. Unless... you’ve either awakened some sort of Trait or..." Reaching the end of his sentence, Virus didn’t continue.

Hearing his interrogation, Hu Yuexin didn’t bother herself with it at all, instead, she merely stated her rejection on dwelling on the matter any further, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, nor do I care. Just let me tell you this, according to your explanations just now, you and I seemed to be somewhat close before... well, that ends here. We’re total strangers from now on."

Not stopping there, she went on calmly, "Also, it appears I owe you one of those Red-Crystal thingies which was stolen by that disgrace of a man Fan Tong. Well, I’m not one to owe anyone anything, so there’s no need to be concerned about that either. I’ll soon get my hands on another one or two of those and return it to you together with its appropriate interest. That’ll be all."

Following that, as she was done speaking, turning around, she was adamant about leaving the area. But before she could do that, much to her annoyance, she was stopped in her tracks. "Wait."

Narrowing her eyes in irritation, Hu Yuexin declared, "What is it now? Don’t be a nuisance and stop bothering me already!"

Truthfully, Hu Yuexin was so insistent on leaving because her number one priority at the moment was to leave anywhere close to the place this mysterious yet analytic man was present at.

She didn’t want her secret to be discovered just yet since she wasn’t sure what he might do as a result. ’I’m too weak to confront this man right now since that simple burst of attack exhausted me already. And I need to leave even more so since it wasn’t even able to inflict any type of fatal injury on him... not even close.’

In fact, she was so desperate to leave because every inch of her entire existence was warning her to run away from this dangerous man as quickly as possible. ’The current me is no match for him.’
