Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 402 - 415: Master of the Base

"Surgery?" The researcher slightly curled his lips, as if smiling, yet his entire demeanor was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, "Only primitive technology has something like surgery. Mr. Lu, since you have found us, you must believe that everything we have is the best, and we will definitely cure Ms. Su Xingyu’s face. After all, you..."

He wanted to say more, but Lu Shifeng interrupted him: "Alright, I have no more questions."

Su Xingyu found it strange. His interruption was too abrupt; what exactly was the researcher about to say after ’after all’?

She turned her head to look at them.

Lu Shifeng also turned his head to look at her, his voice gentle: "Xingyu, go into that nutrient cabin, don’t worry, you’ll be fine."

As he spoke, he gave her a reassuring look.

Su Xingyu’s heart calmed down a bit. In this unfamiliar environment, he was the only one she could trust.

And surely he wouldn’t harm her.

So she turned around, there was a ladder outside the semi-transparent glass nutrient cabin, she climbed in along that crystal-like ladder, and the door of the nutrient cabin slowly closed.

Su Xingyu’s half body was immersed in the nutrient solution, separated by a layer of semi-transparent glass. She looked down to see Lu Shifeng outside the cabin. Lu Shifeng was also looking up at her, his tall and straight body quietly standing there, it looked as though he was standing on a pier, bidding farewell to some spaceship about to set sail. Su Xingyu was startled by her own wild imagination, and then shook her head in self-denial - a spaceship? How could that be possible? She was undoubtedly too shocked after coming to this surreal base, even thoughts of space and the universe started emerging.

Who built this... Could they be aliens?

She was speculating wildly, easing her own tension, the nutrient solution in the pool slowly rose, seemingly about to submerge her.

She became more nervous, staring intently through the glass, and saw Lu Shifeng on the ground also seem to notice this issue, turning his head to say something to the researcher next to him.

The researcher remained indifferent, and replied something.

So Lu Shifeng didn’t say anything more, continuing to watch her with encouraging, steadfast eyes.

Su Xingyu guessed, this rising nutrient solution must not be a problem, right?

That’s why Lu Shifeng appeared so calm.

The warm liquid gradually enveloped her, she looked at him as the water rose over her lips, nose, and finally, her eyes...

Amazing, she could still breathe in this nutrient solution, as if there was no obstruction at all.

Yet, through this layer of pale purple liquid, looking at him became less clear, vaguely like being in two separate worlds...

Two worlds...

If one day, they truly were divided into two worlds...

Su Xingyu didn’t understand why she had such thoughts, it seemed since entering this base, many strange and bizarre ideas emerged, in the circles of rippling pale purple nutrient solution, it seemed something sad was transmitting, a faint, untraceable voice gently asked her: To chase after someone for a thousand years, ten thousand years... unwavering love, what kind of feeling is it?

Unwavering love...

Separated by life and death...

If resurrected, if there would be a day of return...

Would you cherish it even more than before...?

Her mind felt foggy, unable to distinguish if those voices were coming from the water or her own heart, gradually, she sank into a dream...

When she woke again, she had already left the glass nutrient cabin.

She lay on a pristine bed, wearing a white slip dress. Even the entire room was white - white walls, white floors, white ceilings...

Soft light emanated from somewhere, illuminating the entire space.

She slowly recalled what happened before she fell asleep, it was Lu Shifeng who brought her to an inconspicuous old building in the suburbs, from there they entered the expansive and surreal underground base via an elevator, subsequently she entered the nutrient cabin for treatment of her facial scars...

At this thought, she quickly reached a hand to touch her face, half of her cheek was scarred since it was burned, rough like earthworms tangled, or old tree bark, but now, upon touch, she felt smooth skin, without any roughness. She was nearly breathless, her first reaction was disbelief, then her heart about to erupt with joy—

Is it healed?

Has her face truly been healed?!

Immense joy filled her heart, she couldn’t care about anything else, using one hand to support herself, sitting up on the bed, her newly awakened body seemed weak, feeling limp and powerless.

She panted a bit, staggering off the bed, this gleaming room seemed to have walls all around, no exit. She walked aimlessly to a wall, trying to see where a hidden door might be, wanting to open it and look for a mirror elsewhere. However, as soon as her slender fingers touched the white, gleaming wall, she saw an array of ripples spread across the formerly bare wall, soon, a mirror quietly revealed itself.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

Really, the face was completely healed.

Delicate and white skin was void of any scars, her features exquisite, as perfect as an infant, not even the tiniest pores or blemishes visible.

Her face wasn’t just healed, it seemed as though she had used the world’s most miraculous skincare product, restored to the peak skin condition a girl could have, soft and glossy as if finely polished by water flow, radiant, even Xia Ling would be envious!

She looked at herself in disbelief, reaching out to touch her face again and again, suspecting she was dreaming. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But this didn’t feel like a dream...

She didn’t know how long she stood in front of the mirror, silently, the white wall on the other side retreated to both sides, revealing a door.

Then, Lu Shifeng walked in.

Following him was another man, equally handsome, wearing a research institute’s white lab coat, his face carrying a slightly chilling expression.

Su Xingyu instinctively took a step back.

She couldn’t quite describe the man, it was just a particularly frightening feeling, like an unknown monster, the world’s top predator, as if he could snap a person’s neck with a slight gesture of his finger. Her expression turned a bit pale, she glanced at Lu Shifeng, instinctively wanting to drag him away from the man’s vicinity, but didn’t know how to do it.

The eerie stranger also noticed her tension, actually smiling slightly at her, a smile not reaching his eyes, like a bloodthirsty beast: "You’re very sensitive, young girl."
