MTL - Survivor 01 [Unlimited]-Chapter 220 Ling-[05]

That day, Cen Lin's injury finally healed under Ling's continuous flow of blood, but although the injury was healed, there were large patches of blood on her bed, and it was obvious that she could no longer sleep.

So that night, Cen Lin went to Ling's room with his pillow and quilt in his arms.

Ling's bed couldn't accommodate two people, so she let Cen Lin sleep on the bed and slept on the floor by herself.

Cen Lin said that she wanted to listen to the song, so Ling sang it to her. After humming a few melodies, the air fell into silence. Ling looked at the ceiling, but didn't feel sleepy at all.

After a long time, she tentatively called Cen Lin:

"A Lin, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Um."

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say..." Ling paused, and finally asked in a low voice:

"Can you not tell others about the fact that I saved you tonight? I know, it may be difficult for you to explain to others if you don't confess my words, but at least don't say that my blood has a healing effect, can you?"

"Why?"

"Because Ye Ye has suffered a lot for this, he reminded me when I came here that he should not reveal his abilities."

"Then you still save me?"

"I don't want you to die. So I didn't think too much about it."

"Ah..." Cen Lin paused, and replied slightly vaguely:

"Oh, I see."

"thank you."

Ling laughed lightly.

"Obviously you saved me, why do you want to thank me?"

Cen Lin really didn't understand her.

Ling did not answer this question.

Cen Lin also stared straight at the ceiling, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

After a long time, she suddenly stood up, lay down beside the bed, and looked at Ling under the bed:

"Hello."

"Um?"

Ling also wasn't asleep yet, she opened her eyes and looked at Cen Lin.

Cen Lin looked down at her, raised his hand and brushed his red hair behind his ears, and asked casually:

"Will you come with me?"

"Where to go?"

Ling was at a loss.

"Wherever you want."

Cen Lin turned over and lay down, her short hair was dangling along with the edge of the bed:

"When I grow up, when I become stronger, I will take you away. Leave this place, go wherever you want, wherever you want."

"Um...okay."

Ling slightly bent his eyes:

"Then I'll wait. Ah Lin, do you want to live with me?"

"It's okay, I don't hate you."

Cen Lin lowered his eyes and curled up his fingers:

"You sing well, so I can barely accept staying with you."

"That's it." Ling curled her lips:

"Ye Ye also likes to hear me sing."

Hearing this name, Cen Lin frowned from an angle that Ling couldn't see.

She knew that Ye Ye in Ling's mouth was her younger brother.

"I remember you said that Cen Jie hurt your brother? Why?"

"I don't know, it may be because of ability, or it may be because of something else."

Ling mentioned this, feeling a little sad:

"Ye Ye is a very good boy. He has never hurt anyone. I don't understand why those people hurt him."

"You don't need a reason to hurt someone."

Cen Lin's voice was a little cold, and soon she asked again:

"Hey, is there anything you want to do?"

"Yes." Ling blinked:

"I hope the bad guy becomes good, I hope Ye Ye meets someone who loves him, I hope he is fine, I hope he can accomplish everything he wants to do, and will not be hurt by anyone again."

"It's all about him?"

"Um."

Cen Lin sneered:

"You don't think about yourself at all."

"That's all right."

Ling's voice was very gentle:

"Because it is my mission to love him and protect him."

"..." Cen Lin frowned even tighter.

She didn't seem to want to continue chatting with Ling, she buried her face in the pillow:

"I slept."

The next day, when Ling Xing woke up, Cen Lin had already left her room.

The person who was shot several times yesterday healed all the wounds on his body after a short night. This incident should be difficult for people to accept, but I don't know what excuse Cen Lin used to cover it up. The people around her, whether it is Cen Jie or Fang Far, did not pursue this matter.

Last night seemed like a short episode, after that, everything returned to normal, Cen Lin still went to the fifth basement floor for training every day, still had dinner with Ling every day, still took her around from time to time, and still liked to listen to her singing.

But there is also a difference. After that, the frequency of Cen Lin's injuries became significantly higher. In the past, it was a small injury in three days and a major injury in five days, but now she has some serious injuries on her body every few days. Ling couldn't remember how many times Cen Lin was brought back to the room by her half dead and half alive. She had no choice but to give her own blood again and again to save her life.

But she helped her recover again and again, which seemed to only make Cen Jie's demands on her more harsh and the abuse more rampant.

Speaking of Cen Jie, after he introduced himself to Ling on the sixth floor that day, Ling thought he would make trouble for him, but in fact he didn't. Cen Jie didn't seem to intend to talk to him at all, but just tortured Cen Lin again and again. He might be simply punishing Cen Lin, or he might be hinting at something to Ling, which Ling didn't quite understand.

Until, after pulling Cen Lin back from the brink of life and death for countless times, Ling felt that things could not go on like this.

Ling always felt that Cen Lin experienced these things because of himself, just like Ye Ye back then.

In order to protect her, Ye Ye was tortured by Cen Jie for many years. Now that Cen Lin has followed Ye Ye's path, the scars on her body are the persecution of Ling Wusheng.

Ling didn't know why that human being always hurt her important people.

After careful consideration, she still decided to talk to that person.

She knew that person's name, his name was Cen Jie, he was the master of the Garden of Eden and the leader of the White Tower.

But Ling didn't know where to find him. Ling thought that Cen Lin should know, but she didn't want Cen Lin to worry, so she didn't tell her what she thought.

That day, she stood alone in front of the indicator screen on the first floor of the White Tower for a long time. Finally, a staff member came to inquire. After hearing that Ling wanted to see Cen Jie, he didn't say anything, but took Ling to the elevator.

Standing in the elevator, Ling looked at the ground slowly moving away, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

She watched the elevator go up all the way, and finally stopped at the top of the White Tower. Later, the staff asked her out of the elevator, the elevator door was closed, and Ling was the only person left on the floor.

The top floor of the White Pagoda seems to belong to Cen Jie alone. From the ground to the walls to all the furnishings inside, it is all white with metallic luster.

It was very quiet inside, and the staff just now didn't tell Ling where to go, so she could only walk forward tentatively, looking for Cen Jie's office.

She didn't know her way very well, and she didn't have a strong sense of direction. She wandered around the top of the White Tower for a long time, and finally, she heard a faint human voice coming from a distance outside a certain corridor.

Ling walked slowly along the wall to where the sound came from.

This strange place was like a maze to her, and she walked very carefully and lightly.

She listened attentively to the voices of people in the distance, and when they got closer, the two voices became clearer.

"During this period of time, all the injuries you suffered were treated by her, right?"

Cen Jie's voice came from the room.

"yes."

Someone responded to his words, and when he heard the voice, he froze in place and opened his eyes slightly.

"Very good, it seems that you have already gained her trust, and we can start the next step soon."

There was a hint of praise in Cen Jie's tone, and he tapped on the table lightly with his fingers.

"She's easy to cheat."

There was no emotion in Cen Lin's tone, but she paused and said again:

"Father, as for the next step, I'm afraid it will take some time. Trust needs to be strengthened. Everything has to be done slowly, and we can't force her too tightly."

After saying this, Cen Jie was silent for a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked down at Cen Lin who was kneeling on one knee and bowing his head in front of the table.

And Cen Lin knelt there, silently curling up his fingers hanging by his side.

Cen Jie noticed her little gesture, and then he raised his eyes and glanced at a corner outside the door, with a little interest in his eyes.

He leaned lazily on the back of the seat:

"You have done a good job, Cen Lin. You are indeed my daughter. It seems that it is indeed the right choice to entrust you with the matter of approaching her. Approach her, gain her trust, confirm her ability, and let her let go Be on guard... Your final trial has been completed perfectly, now the prey is about to enter the trap, you will graduate soon, and you will truly become my daughter, the sharpest knife in the White Tower."

Hearing this, Cen Lin clenched his fingers tightly and let them go quickly.

She whispered:

"Thank you father for the compliment, Cen Lin will not let you down."

"Well, then you go back."

After Cen Jie finished speaking, he added:

"Bitter tricks are really tried and tested for this kind of idiot, let's continue today."

"yes."

Cen Lin lowered his head, stood up from the ground, turned around and walked out of Cen Jie's office after responding.

Where Cen Jie couldn't see, a gleam of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Afterwards, she raised her chin slightly, intending to leave here and return to the basement of the White Tower, but when she raised her eyes, a figure broke into her sight, and her footsteps froze in place.

In the spacious corridor, Ling and Cen Lin faced each other far away, and neither of them spoke first.

Time seemed to be frozen at that moment, and Cen Lin recalled the conversation he had just had with Cen Jie, and panic surged in his heart for no reason.

She tried to stay calm, walked over as if nothing had happened, and asked:

"How did you get here? Got lost again?"

Like before, she wanted to hold Ling’s wrist in the past, but this time she didn’t pull her.

Ling put his hands behind his back in a big reaction, took two steps back, and pressed his back against the cold wall.

She heard the conversation between Cen Lin and Cen Jie just now.

She couldn't believe the content of their conversation, but those words really came from their mouths, and it was indeed Cen Lin himself who came out of the room.

Cen Lin said that she was easy to deceive.

Get close to her, gain her trust...

Even the injuries he suffered were cruel tricks.

Ling's eyes were gradually filled with mist.

"You lied to me…"

Ye Ye reminded her not to expose her abilities and not to trust anyone easily.

Ling originally thought that Cen Lin was trustworthy.

But I didn't expect that the first encounter between her and her only friend was a well-planned scam.

They only want her abilities, all for her blood.

Ling looked at Cen Lin opposite, and wanted to back up, but she had no way out.

And Cen Lin stood opposite her, his hands were still frozen in mid-air, maintaining the posture of wanting to hold her.

She looked sideways slightly, looking at Cen Jie's office with the door wide open, wanted to say something, but couldn't speak.

In the end, she just looked away, curled up her fingers, and lowered her hand.

On the opposite side, Ling's heart was filled with various emotions. She shed tears for the second time after coming here.

The first time was because Cen Lin was seriously injured and she didn't want her to die.

The second time was to discover the truth of the matter, to discover that it was all a hoax.

"Ye Ye is right..."

After a long time, Ling Cai murmured in a low voice.

Her voice trembled a little, her eyes were covered with mist, and she could only see a vague red shadow.

Then, her eyes gradually became clear, and tears flowed down her cheeks at this time.

She raised her hand to wipe away those tears.

She understood why Ye Ye and her friends were hurt by humans. All the beauty in front of them was just deception.

She was thinking, Ye Ye was right.

This world is not gentle at all, humans... are really scary.
