34. Accustomed to death
Why did you suddenly jump to the paragraph of "thinking about life" under the pretense? She also looked at Qian Yi suspiciously.
Qian Yi said unhurriedly: "When Mr. showed it, I did a test for you, and your heart can only beat 1,287,720,000 times, that is to say, according to the average of 70 heartbeats per minute, you can live for thirty-five years." The heartbeat in infancy and toddler is relatively fast, and the heartbeat will also increase during martial arts and sports, and all kinds of circumstances combine to make your heart stop beating and die at about 2 o'clock in the morning. β
Joseph's face was unusually ugly, "Do you think that when you say this, I will believe it?" β
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, you will believe it when you die." Qian Yi said disapprehantly.
Why did Qian Yi check how many times Joseph's heart could beat? Just because he used to take care of Joseph? She looked back and forth at the two of them, not knowing what she could and what to do, so she could only stand to the side in the background.
"Don't move!" She heard a familiar voice whisper, her neck being strangled by her arms and pulled back, her temples already pressed against something cold and hard.
"Murrow?" No way? It can't be a gun on her head, right?!
"Don't mess around." Murrow ignored her and called out to Joseph, "Mr. Joseph, I will help you catch this woman, and you will also keep your promise to give me the elixir of immortality!" β
Hey, hey, hey! Will the gun go off? "Big brother, what grudge do I have against you? You don't have to do this to me, do you? She tried to struggle, but Murrow tightened her tighter, and she almost ran out of breath! By the way, when I was in college military training in the past, the instructor taught everyone some basic self-defense techniques - of course, she never used it, and maybe she should use it now whether it works or not. Gritting her teeth, she stepped on Murrow's toes with all her strength--unfortunately, if she were wearing high heels, it would definitely make Murrow cry wolf-Murrow snorted in pain, and the arm around her neck loosened slightly, she didn't dare to hesitate, and slammed her elbow into Murrow's chest, finally breaking free.
"You stinky woman!" Although Murrow let go of her, he raised his gun and pointed it at her, "Dare to hinder my good deeds!" β
She clearly heard the sound of a bullet being loaded, and her mind went blank for a moment. At this time, something seemed to be thrown over, Murrow let out a low scream, and the hand holding the gun was released, only to see Qian Yi's eyebrows together, she hadn't seen Qian Yi's movements clearly, he had already kicked off Murrow's pistol, and a knife stunted Murrow. "Are you alright?" Qian Yi asked her.
"Ah...... Well. She nodded dumbfounded, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had already had a cold sweat on her back. Who just threw something here? Could it be that someone was in the shadows, and they rescued her?
"Hmph, make your own decisions." Joseph snorted coldly, not appreciating Murrow's favor.
"Sir, it's almost two o'clock in the morning." Qian Yi reminded lightly.
Joseph's beautiful eyes are as emotionless as glass beads. Qian Yi just said that Joseph will die of cardiac arrest at about two o'clock, not because of illness, but simply because his heart has stopped working at the rated workload - but will this really happen?
"Hmm!" Joseph suddenly covered his chest, "You ......"
"Sir, I should know I'm not joking or intimidating." Qian Yi's expression was really cold.
He ......," she grabbed Qian Yi's arm a little scared.
"As I said, Sir can't hurt us, you don't have to be nervous." Qian Yi touched her head like a kind elder.
How is it possible not to be nervous? She's going to see the dead again! When the Chamber of Commerce lame Zhang and Ah Xue died, she had nightmares all night!
"Old money, why ......" Joseph's eyes widened and slowly fell.
"People like Mr. are like that, and they can't avoid it." Qian Yi didn't reach out to help, and his eyes were so indifferent that he could not watch his pet die. He spoke a few words in a foreign language she did not understand to the two waiters who were close to Joseph, and they owed a debt and helped Joseph away.
"...... they?" It's strange, those two waiters had a big fight with Qian Yi just now, and now they are leaving honestly, and they haven't seen the wind and rudder so fast!
Qian Yi seemed to see her doubts and explained: "Mr. is sent by the family, representing the supreme person in charge of the family, and he must obey his orders when he is alive, including me. Now that he's dead, I'm the supreme leader, and they're naturally going to do my bidding. And I'm in charge of everything here, so it's not surprising that they follow my command. β
She was stunned when she heard it. Even so, the owner of the castle is dead! Whether it's Qian Yi or those waiters, the reaction is too cold, right? But their expressions were not so much cold as they were accustomed to it......
"I understand your thoughts." Qian Yi hooked the corners of his mouth and said slowly and clearly in that cold-sounding and cruel-sounding tone, "Whether it is Mr. or the previous owner, the castle master sent by the Xuanyuan family all looks the same, and they all died before the age of thirty-five, because they have the same genes, and these DNA have already programmed a timed death. β
She heard her right, right? "Why do they all die before the age of thirty-five? Is it a genetic disease? You say they have the same genes? If they are not identical twins, how can they have the same genes? What do you mean by timed death procedure? It's not an artificial human, and it can control the genetics to make him die regularly......"
"Why can't it be?" Qian Yi sneered and asked, "All the genetics of the previous castle owners were written by our family, otherwise how could he have such a perfect appearance?" β
She suddenly remembered what Adran had said when she told Adelan about Joseph's appearanceβif Joseph wasn't human, wouldn't that explain why he was so pretty? Could it be that what Adelan said at the time was that Joseph was not a normal human being, but an artificially created "experiment" like a clay doll?! "Now that you know how to reduce your lifespan, isn't it ...... way to live forever"
"No, I don't know." Qian Yi interrupted her, "The expression of genes is not as simple as you think, even if I know which base arrangements can shorten lifespan, I still can't find a way to prevent aging and death gene expression, in fact, I haven't found out which genes are expressed to age or die." And for those embryos that have already developed, I can't change their existing genes. β
"If we have to change, will we have to be exposed to radiation like the radiotherapy used to treat cancer?"
Qian Yi smiled and nodded, "Your brain turns quite fast, but radiotherapy alone is not enough......"
"Enough is enough, don't explain it to me, the scientific content is too high, I'm afraid I won't understand, and even if I can understand, I don't think I can listen to it anymore." She covered her ears.
"You're smart enough to know what not to ask." Qian Yi said.
"That's weird! If I had done what you said, I wouldn't have overheard your conversation with Murrow, and I wouldn't have known what you were doing with immortality. She finally knew what it meant to be "curious to kill a cat."
Qian Yi patted her on the shoulder, "I understand your thoughts that you don't want to continue to get involved in this matter." Let's go, I'll get you out of here. Don't come here again, it's better for you. β
She won't come in the future! "What about you? Joseph said he was going to kick you away, but now that he's dead, you can stay here, right? "The person who asked Qian Yi to leave the castle just now actually left this world forever first. It turns out that death is really so simple, maybe one day and at some point, your death gene is suddenly activated, and you will fall immediately.
Qian Yi smiled and shook his head, "Actually, Mr. can't drive me away, because only the head of the Xuanyuan family has this power." β
She listened as if she didn't understand. This Xuanyuan family is not only mysterious, but also seems to have a lot of origins, and she is a little-known little photographer who still doesn't want to provoke them, and it's best not to even ask.
"Let's go, get out of here early." Qian Yi touched her head lovingly.
"That Murro......" she looked at Murrow, who was still lying on the ground.
"You don't have to worry about him, he chose to come here, and let him decide whether to leave or not." Qian Yi led the way in front of her, and said, "Speaking of which, you are really beyond my imagination. I had already asked the people at the door to pretend not to see you even if they saw you sneaking away, but I didn't expect you to escape everyone and leave the castle, and if it weren't for the people who patrol the house to find out that you were not in the room, maybe you would have been able to leave without alarming anyone. β
"How can I be that good? It just so happened that someone helped me. She remembered the Adelan who had to pay her.
"Help? Who? Qian Yi looked back in surprise.
"A child, he told me about the secret passages of the castle." She said.
"Kid? Who is it? β
"He said he had been here for a long time, and he knew the secret passages of the castle that Joseph didn't even know." Why is Qian Yi so surprised?
"How is this possible?" Qian Yi's eyes widened.
"It's true. I'm just an ordinary photographer, and I don't have any light skills or wall tricks to sneak out without alerting anyone. β
Qian Yi just frowned tightly and didn't talk to her again.
Qian Yi had already expected her to leave on today's plane, and actually booked a ticket for her. "Here, get your boarding pass." Qian Yibar's boarding pass was handed to her, "I'll send it here, you have a good trip." β
"Thank you, thanks to you for taking care of me these days." She bowed deeply to Qian Yi, "By the way, how much is the ticket?" I'll send it to you when I get back. β
Qian Yi smiled, "No need, just take it as our hotel's spiritual compensation for you." Good bye. β
"Goodbye...... I'm afraid I'll never see you again. When she watched Qian Yi turn around and leave, she suddenly had all kinds of bittersweet and bitter tastes in her heart. This business trip is really comparable to an adventure novel, and when you say it, others either think she's out of mind or think she's making up stories. Alas...... Having said that, the "beauty difference" given to her by the editor-in-chief this time almost killed her, and it seems that this kind of good thing will be better for others in the future.
By the way, didn't Adlan still want her to be paid? Will you really come to her to get it?
