The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 285

【In a few more years, we will leave Dark Shadow and live a normal life that you like, settle down in the city you like】

Qiao Ying stood where she was, looking at the man who had been by her side since she could remember, accompanying her for nearly twenty years.

Feng Ying's words echoed in her mind, everything was just like yesterday.

It made Qiao Ying feel a little dazed.

At that time, she just smiled without answering him.

After Feng Ying died, she regretted more than once, why did she only nod in her heart at that time, she should have agreed with him aloud.

It wouldn't have left him with so many regrets.

Before Feng Ying died, she never felt there was anything wrong with Dark Shadow. Since she could remember, she belonged to Dark Shadow.

She liked learning all kinds of skills, and Dark Shadow gave her the opportunity to learn. She didn't dislike Dark Shadow's survival method of competing for the fittest.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with being a killer, not to mention Feng Ying was with her in Dark Shadow.

Even later when Dark Shadow's ubiquitous surveillance made her fed up, she never thought of leaving Dark Shadow.

Because there was Feng Ying, so she didn't feel there was anything wrong with Dark Shadow.

Feng Ying was cold to everyone, she was the only exception. All the warmth she felt in Dark Shadow since childhood was given by Feng Ying.

So when Feng Ying proposed to leave Dark Shadow before she had the idea, she readily agreed.

Qiao Ying quickly calmed down, reason returned, she looked at that face, her palms were pierced by her nails without knowing when.

This was not Feng Ying. She buried Feng Ying with her own hands.

"You... cloned him..." Qiao Ying couldn't believe it.

She thought she was the first experiment of Dark Shadow.

And now, Feng Ying's clone appeared before her eyes.

When she was locked in the iron cage, Yue Ying asked, 【Did Feng Ying die like this too?】 She was stunned for a moment.

She had always thought she was the first experiment, and had never thought that Feng Ying, who had died long ago, would become an experiment before her.

When Yue Ying asked her that sentence, she panicked for a moment, she didn't dare think about it.

Because Qiao Ying, who had been used as a guinea pig for research, knew too well how painful and torturous the process was. She never wanted to recall the days in the underground laboratory in Nanyang.

And when her genes were extracted, their technology was already quite mature, but she still suffered so much torture.

So she didn't dare imagine how much harm Feng Ying would suffer in facing various immature instruments when he became an experiment before her.

Until this moment.

Qiao Ying murmured, "...when was it?"

Meihua Q smiled, "Naturally it was before Blood Shadow. In that underground laboratory in Nanyang, before Blood Shadow, Feng Ying had already experienced it. Making Feng Ying obedient was much easier than making Blood Shadow obedient. Everyone in Dark Shadow knew Blood Shadow was Feng Ying's weakness. He didn't have a chance to take Blood Shadow away, even if he did, he wouldn't dare take Blood Shadow away directly. They would live under Dark Shadow's pursuit for life, they wouldn't even be able to have a good sleep this life."

She tried to remember the time. Feng Ying often went on missions, being away for two or three months was common. So exactly when was it, why didn't she notice?

She remembered, in the year before Feng Ying's accident, that was the year she spent the least time with Feng Ying.

In the first half of the year, she didn't see Feng Ying for four months.

When she saw him again, he had lost a lot of weight. She was curious what mission made him work so hard.

He didn't say, he just stuck to her especially closely for the two days after he came back, wherever she went he followed, the way he looked at her...

Was different from any other time before.

She couldn't remember it very clearly. Qiao Ying's chest felt like it would explode.

It was midsummer, but he wore long sleeves. She didn't find it strange, but thinking back now, he was covering the needle holes on his body.

In less than two days, he left for another mission.

This time he was away for even longer. During these two missions, Qiao Ying completely lost contact with him.

When he came back again, it was already winter.

A full nine months, he was locked in the lab for a full nine months, and she didn't suspect anything at all...

After that, Dark Shadow sent her on a mission.

Feng Ying insisted on going with her.

When they arrived at the destination, they acted separately.

【Xiao Ying, if someday I don't come back from a mission, you leave Dark Shadow immediately, okay?】

Before they separated, Feng Ying suddenly hugged her and whispered these words in her ear.

For that mission... Did he know he wouldn't come back?

There was something in Qiao Ying's heart that was about to come out. She looked at Meihua Q, "....Did you kill Feng Ying?"

Seeing Qiao Ying's appearance, Meihua Q gladly told her the truth: "No, he went to die for Blood Shadow."

This sentence was like thunder from a clear sky, exploding in Qiao Ying's ears.

It made Qiao Ying freeze on the spot, unable to move.

"...What do you mean?"

Although that mission was difficult, it was by no means beyond her ability to complete. Why did Feng Ying have to die for her?

Seeing Qiao Ying react so strongly, in order to retaliate against Qiao Ying's fire, Meihua Q began to add fuel to the fire, disturbing her mind.

"Feng Ying, this guy thought too highly of himself. He actually foolishly thought he could negotiate terms with Dark Shadow, and wanted us to spare Blood Shadow."

"In order for Blood Shadow not to suffer the pain of gene extraction, in order for Blood Shadow not to be replaced by clones, in order to keep Blood Shadow alive, he told us that he was the one with ulterior motives and wanted to leave Dark Shadow. Hmph..."

Meihua Q sneered coldly.

"Once Feng Ying's clone came out of the tank, the clone would soon replace him. Dark Shadow wouldn't keep someone with ulterior motives. He couldn't escape death. His life was worthless to us, yet he foolishly thought he could negotiate terms."

"He knew Blood Shadow's temperament. He didn't dare tell Blood Shadow about the clone. He also knew we wouldn't let Blood Shadow off. So he was going to die either way. He used a very stupid method - he used his own death to make Blood Shadow voluntarily leave Dark Shadow."

They had agreed to leave Dark Shadow together. With him dead, Blood Shadow had nothing worth staying for in Dark Shadow. Blood Shadow would definitely leave.

Meihua Q looked at the pale-faced Qiao Ying. His purpose had been achieved. He was full of vindictive pleasure.

He smiled and slowly revealed the cruel truth: "After helping Blood Shadow complete the mission, he committed suicide."

Boom! It was like a clap of thunder for Qiao Ying. She only felt a constant buzzing in her ears.

Why did she agree to Dark Shadow's gene extraction at that time?

Not only because she wanted to repay Dark Shadow for raising her, but more because she wanted to use her clone to completely sever ties with Dark Shadow.

As long as she was alive, as long as Dark Shadow still existed, she could never completely break away from Dark Shadow, just as Meihua Q said, no matter where she went, she would live under Dark Shadow's pursuit.

Even those old guys in Dark Shadow couldn't really retire either.

In order to live the normal life Feng Ying wanted, in order to completely cut off ties with Dark Shadow, she reached an agreement with Dark Shadow.

She didn't leave immediately as Feng Ying told her to. She went to Nanyang and allowed the existence of clones.

Feng Ying didn't know until his death that Blood Shadow, in order to carry his hopes with her, in order to completely sever ties with the Dark Shadow he hated, eventually walked into that lab voluntarily.

And Blood Shadow in her previous life also didn't know until her death that Feng Ying's suicide didn't allow her to escape that lab either.

She even died there in the end.
