Using a rag to wipe away the water stains on the sink mirror, Yu Zhesen pulled down the lower eyelid of his right eye with his fingers, and leaned closer to the mirror to carefully observe his eyes.
The bloodshot streaks on the whites of his eyes were a symbol of overwork recently, but what concerned him more was the faint golden speck deep in his pupils.
What is this? Yu Zhesen was shocked at first and almost thought he was suffering from an eye disease such as cataracts without knowing it.
After looking at the mirror carefully for two minutes, he was sure that this golden spot was not always present.
It seems to be related to his superpower status.
When he tries to activate the body-strengthening effects of God's blood, this golden spot becomes bright and conspicuous.
And once he allows his superpower to dormant quietly, the strangeness in his right eye will return to normal.
After asking Shi Xin, Yu Zhesen verified his guess.
Shi Xin said that this is the characteristic of the "blood of God", and it is now beginning to show up in him, indicating that he has gradually adapted to maintaining the normal blood of God.
"Although this is a good thing, if it becomes more and more obvious in the future..." Yu Zhesen expressed his concerns.
According to Shi Xin, the ability of God's blood is not limited to strengthening his body beyond that of ordinary people. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.
Of course, in the future, the golden spots in his eyes will become obvious as the superpower develops.
"If you really mind, go get some colored contacts." Shi Xin said half-jokingly.
"Let's talk about it then..." Yu Zhesen's fingers left his lower eyelids.
He returned to his room and suddenly saw Chu Yuexi sitting at the end of the bed, holding the comic "Dream Maniac" that Sun Minghang lent him.
The obviously oversized white T-shirt looked light and fluffy on her body, almost completely covering up her figure. Coupled with her refreshing short hair and fair face, she looked childish and several years younger than her actual age.
Yu Zhesen walked over and brightened his bracelet, then waved it in front of her eyes: "Hey, hey, it's already very late. Go to bed early."
"Okay...oh." Chu Yuexi raised her head, and Yu Zhesen realized that her eyes had narrowed due to sleepiness.
So he took away the comics in Chu Yuexi's hands and put them back on the desk. He turned around and was stunned. Chu Yuexi was lying on his bed with a pillow as his head and the remaining pillow in his arms.
"Intern?" Yu Zhesen called softly, feeling a little nervous.
Chu Yuexi's answer was a soft whisper that he couldn't understand.
Yu Zhesen carefully climbed up to the other side of the bed and took out the pillow from her hand little by little with cautious movements.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then turned off the lights and lay down on his side with his back to Chu Yuexi.
The dark environment aggravated his sleepiness, and Yu Zhesen prepared to sleep peacefully, but his calmness only lasted five seconds.
A hand came up from behind, and the air he breathed into his nose was mixed with the fragrance of lavender shower gel.
Yu Zhesen felt Chu Yuexi's smooth knees touching a little above the crook of his legs, and her steady, gentle and life-heated breathing fell regularly on his cervical vertebrae.
"Ah, research shows that some people can't sleep well without holding something in their arms." Shi Xin sighed leisurely in his mind.
Yu Zhesen couldn't refute, because he himself had this habit, so there were two pillows on the bed where he slept alone.
Shi Xin knew this very well, so what he said now was obviously to tease him.
She then teased: "You can also hold her and satisfy each other."
"No, I refuse."
"Is it because you don't want to look too 'animal'? Or do you have other concerns?" Shi Xin seemed to want to discuss the concept of love with him.
"No, it's not."
"Why is that?"
"First of all, I'm really sleepy. Secondly, we don't have that thing at home anymore...you know. Of course, in the final analysis, it's because I'm really sleepy. Good night, Shi Xin."
"Good night, Yu Zhesen."
Shi Zhi no longer entangled his thoughts, so the tide of sleep quickly rolled up, but there was a unique fragrance of lavender in the tide.
……
Late night, Old Town.
A woman with long hair and Caucasian descent was walking with difficulty through a dark alley that smelled of garbage and corruption.
There is a malfunctioning streetlight at the exit of the alley, and it will flicker a few times with a hissing sound from time to time.
Alitanova stopped as she approached the exit, leaning against the dirty wall to catch her breath.
She touched her back shoulder with difficulty, and her fingertips were covered with oozing blood.
Because her identity was exposed, she discarded the bracelet on the way to escape, but this also made it impossible for Min Yuan, an accomplice, to locate her location.
While the Security Bureau was busy dealing with a series of car accidents that occurred in front of the Gwanghae Theater, Alitanova successfully escaped into the old city.
She originally wanted to go to an underground entertainment venue funded by the Adventist sect, but the subsequent investigations by the Criminal Investigation Department forced her to abandon this plan.
The Security Bureau's pursuit was not ambiguous. Although the Criminal Investigation Department did not have a clear target, the gunshot wound on his body was a huge flaw.
At this moment, Alitanova felt extremely regretful. She thought that if she had been more cautious when escaping, she might have been able to avoid being shot by Yu Zhesen's pistol.
The gunshot wound was located below her right shoulder blade, and the bullet was stuck in her body. She couldn't even remove the bullet by herself at this location, so she could only simply treat the wound to stop the bleeding.
If she doesn't get Min Yuan's support, even if the Criminal Investigation Department can't catch her, she may still be trapped in the old city and gradually waste her life.
What's more, in the old city, especially at night, the people from the Security Bureau are not the most dangerous to her...
At this time, there was a burst of rude cursing outside the alley, and several gangsters in ostentatious clothing passed by the entrance of the alley. One of them even kicked the flickering street lamp pole.
Alitanova held her breath and leaned against the shadow of the wall. She knew that she was extremely vulnerable now, and the few gangsters who just passed by outside were not something she could afford to offend.
She felt as if she had had enough rest, and the injuries on her back were somewhat numb. It was estimated that the gangsters had gone far, and her next goal was to cross the road outside the alley to the area on the other side.
That was the direction of the slums, and it was also a weak area of the Administration. Alitanova did not want to sit still and wait for death. Her goal was to enter the slum area from the old city and transfer to the seaside.
On the coast in the direction of the slums, there is a warehouse that Lu Hong once set up. It seems that it has not been discovered by the security bureau. There are still some supplies left in it. It is a temporary shelter for her.
Alitanova was about to leave when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the alley.
She was shocked and continued to stay motionless in the shadow under the wall.
Under the illumination of the haunted street lamp at the entrance of the alley, she saw one of the gangsters who passed by before walking in, unzipping his pants and starting to relieve himself against the wall on the other side.
Alitanova stared at the man's back nervously, praying in his heart that the other person would finish the job quickly and leave without looking back.
About a minute later, the man let out a sigh of relief, pulled up his pants and prepared to leave.
But when he reached the entrance of the alley, he suddenly stopped and turned around with a smile: "Miss, it's impolite to peek."
