After Wan Sui got out of the car, she didn't bother them anymore. She waved to Gu Zhuo, showed a very beautiful and charming smile, and then silently retreated among the believers.
After today's simple test, and thanks to Zhu Zihan's self-destruction, Wan Sui was convinced that Gu Zhuo was a person worth winning over. It's just that he has a firm mind and is not easy to win over. He can only wait and slowly win over later.
Eat away at his sanity and make him use it for yourself.
She had to deal with that guy Hao Yuanshan first.
Although that guy is nothing to be afraid of and does not have much strength, he took advantage of the last natural disaster to win over some forces and believers, which will hinder her mood to some extent.
When Gu Zhuo saw Wan Sui leaving like this, he hesitated for a while and finally decided not to take action.
The other party just sent a bionic man over, and the real her was still hiding in a safe place. Even if she killed the bionic man in front of her, Wan Sui's strength was unfathomable, which might anger her and cause trouble.
Although Gu Zhuo already had the Doomsday Mecha, his original high-spirited mood had long since calmed down. He wanted to at least figure out what Wansui was hiding behind before making plans.
The enemy is in the dark, but he is in the light. If he takes the initiative to attack at this moment, he will only alert the enemy.
In this way, he watched Wan Sui leave his base, escorted by a group of half-human and half-machine cultists.
Surprisingly, Wan Sui was quite easy to talk to and didn't get angry because of Gu Zhuo's rejection. When Gu Zhuo rejected her, he was already ready to break up.
After Wan Sui and all the believers left the base, Gu Zhuo drove the Jeep Wrangler back to the base.
As soon as they returned to the base, Akashi and others came down from the machine gun observation tower and asked about Gu Zhuo's situation.
Gu Zhuo got out of the car, first patted Akashi's shoulder apologetically, pointed to Zhu Zihan's body behind the car, where the blood was almost drained, and said:
"Akashi, I'll clean your car for you. This kid was directly killed by their leader. I didn't expect Wan Sui to be so decisive and kill him in one go."
Akashi glanced at his car, and when he saw Zhu Zihan's body, he frowned in disgust:
"It's okay, it's just that this kid was very miserable. In the end, he died not at our hands, but at the hands of his leader."
"Gu Zhuo, what did that woman say to you?"
Jia Sheng asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
Gu Zhuo shook his head, still not planning to tell anyone else about this matter except Chaoying. After all, they were not that easy to accept the breaking news that people with superpowers were mentally ill.
He selected some telling parts:
"Wan Sui showed me some information about other people with superpowers, but the other information she said was vague, and I couldn't tell whether it was true or false. Before I really know the answer, I'd better wait and see before telling you."
Everyone else chose to trust Gu Zhuo 100% unconditionally.
The Prophetic Cult left just like that. There was no fierce battle as imagined, and it was not as difficult as imagined.
Everyone disposed of Zhu Zihan's body in silence, and Gu Zhuo asked the robot butler to clean up the inside of Akashi's car.
Even if today passed without any danger.
Gu Zhuo planned to tell Chaoying what Wansui told him when he was alone with Chaoying for a while.
Except for Gu Zhuo, no one knows that there are undercurrents surging under the seemingly peaceful life now.
It was getting late, and the Prophet had originally chosen to come at night. After everyone disposed of Zhu Zihan's body and finished all the things at hand, they all went to rest.
Gu Zhuo and Chao Ying are naturally no exception.
The two returned to the Doomsday Fortress, and while Chaoying was taking a shower, Gu Zhuo kept lying on the bed, looking at the roof of the car in a daze, silently.
When Chaoying came out and saw that he was not in a good mood, she walked to him and lay down with him. She thought that Gu Zhuo was tired, so she stretched out her hand and pressed Gu Zhuo's temples a few times, as if coaxing a child.
They also coaxed:
"Gu Zhuo, if you are tired, take a rest early. You are now the leader of the base and have to deal with several forces. Your tasks and burdens are much heavier than before."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo looked at Chao Ying and saw her eyes were so gentle. He sighed softly, grabbed her hand and held it in his own.
Chaoying buried her head in his chest and whispered:
"Actually, Wansui told you something else today. Don't you want to tell Jia Sheng and the others?"
"Yes, I don't want to tell Jia Sheng and the others. I'm afraid they won't be able to accept those things."
"Then can you tell me? It's okay if you don't want to say it. I will treat it as if Wansui has never told you anything. I will not force you to tell me."
Gu Zhuo touched her head and sighed:
"It's okay, I originally planned to tell you about this, but now that you ask, I'll tell you directly.
"Chaoying, Wansui told me that all people with superpowers suffer from mental disorders. To put it simply, people with superpowers are all mentally ill."
Hearing this, Chaoying stood up and looked at him in disbelief.
After a long time, she finally asked:
"Is there any basis for what Wansui said? It's still groundless."
"She showed me many examples, and I know my own situation well, so I can basically conclude that what she said is true."
"What's your situation?"
Seeing Chao Ying looking at him carefully, Gu Zhuo nodded and told her everything.
His war experience, the life and death he experienced, the comrades he fought side by side but lost.
Finally, he mentioned his post-war stress trauma. He truthfully told Chaoying that his mental illness could not be cured in his life, and would always exist and follow him throughout his life.
He analyzed everything about himself to Chaoying, with almost no reservations.
This is the first time, except for the psychiatrist, that he has confessed so frankly to anyone else.
Chaoying listened to everything he said silently, without saying anything, but instead held Gu Zhuo's hand tightly.
"Chaoying, I also have a serious mental disorder. Many times I just don't show it. But what Wan Sui said is true, at least it has been true for all the people with powers I have seen,"
He thought about it and added,
"except you."
Chaoying was silent.
Gu Zhuo hurriedly explained:
"But I don't want to force you. If you don't want to say anything, then don't say it. Anyway, no matter what you do, I will believe you."
Hearing this, Chao Ying raised his face and looked at him seriously.
Word by word, she made up her mind:
"Gu Zhuo, I don't want to hide anything from you. I also want to tell you everything about me. You should know everything about me."
