Chapter 68: Voice
"Why?"
The woman kept repeating the question, grabbing Lu Yun's shoulder and shaking it repeatedly.
Xiang Yan and Shi Shangfei wanted to pull the two apart, but the full strength of the E-level employees was not comparable to the two of them who had just become F-level employees.
Lu Yun waved his hand slightly, letting Xiang Yan and Shi Shangfei step aside for the time being, and he himself faced the woman and answered her question truthfully.
“… I do not know. ”
After waking up, Lu Yun has been thinking, is it a containment breach caused by himself? -Is the total destruction of the 35th floor because of yourself?
Lu Yun really doesn't know.
When Feng Ran told Lu Yun what happened during the containment breach, although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Yun could probably guess that it was because of some reason on his own body that the -35th floor became the only middle and upper layer that was seriously affected.
Not to mention the mysterious black and white man, the mere fact that he is the only one who survived on the entire -35th floor is suspicious enough.
Because the low-level employees have little contact with the post-war anomaly, they don't know what it means for Lu Yun to survive like this.
Slightly higher clearance level personnel are well aware that many post-war anomalies leave behind some "tokens" after a containment breach.
Sometimes they appear instantly, and sometimes they lurk in the human body, suddenly changing at a certain moment.
Not every employee in the Aether company survives, and in many cases, it is even the prelude to another greater tragedy.
"Don't know? You don't know? ”
The woman laughed, her bloodshot eyes filled with pathos.
"-Everyone on the 35th floor died, only you survived, don't you know?"
The hand clasped on his shoulder made Lu Yun's mouth gradually flood with a new taste, which was bitter, a bitter taste that Lu Yun was very familiar with.
The bitterness of despair.
"I'm sorry, but I don't really know anything."
Lu Yun tried to speak as gently as possible, he didn't want to continue to irritate her.
And when she heard Lu Yun's answer, she was silent for a while before she said again:
"Yes, you really won't know anything, you've only been in the company for less than a week, Brother Xiao is like this, he likes to take care of newcomers, when I first joined the company, Brother Xiao took care of me for a long time."
Her head was lowered, and her voice softened and trembled.
"He was placed on the same floor as you, it wasn't arranged by you, it was assigned by the company, and you were also in a coma for so long after the containment breach, you shouldn't want this to happen."
"Yes, yes, it's just an accident, just like an accident that happens almost every day in the company, but the person who died this time was Brother Xiao."
"Hahaha... It's just a laughing brother. ”
Just when Lu Yun felt that the woman had calmed down, the strength in her hand suddenly increased, and the feeling of her nails clasping into her flesh made Lu Yun feel a tingling pain.
"My sanity tells me that you are not wrong! That's right! ”
"But! But! ”
"There was another voice in my heart, it was screaming desperately! Scream desperately! ”
The woman looked up suddenly, her distorted smile mixed with tears, and her originally beautiful face was now possessed by a devil.
"If it's not you! Brother Xiao will definitely not die! Definitely not going to die! ”
"So! It doesn't matter if you're guilty of something unintentional or a token of a dangerous anomaly, go die! Give Brother Xiao a funeral! ”
Her expression suddenly became dangerous and frenzied, and the whites of one of her eyes had turned completely red, as if something had changed.
And the hand she put on Lu Yun's shoulder also began to surge with scarlet vortices.
The F- and E-class staff who were sitting in the cafeteria undamaged were stunned by the sudden change, never expecting that the verbal conflict would turn violent, and even using echoes.
"Are you crazy!"
"It's forbidden to do anything to employees!"
"Stop her!"
The middle-level employees with bandages around their bodies and limbs were the first to react, and those who were not very seriously injured rushed directly in the direction of the woman.
In their opinion, at such a close distance, he was still suddenly attacked, and Lu Yun, who was at the same level as the woman, would definitely not have time to deal with it, and it was still a red echo, if he was hit, Lu Yun would either be dead or disabled.
However, Lu Yun did not feel half panicked, because Lu Yun, who could "taste" the inside of others, had already sensed the emotional change of the woman in an instant.
This was a sudden, uncontrolled change, which reminded Lu Yun of a similar experience he had not long ago, but it was not so strong and not so painful.
That was when he saw Xiang Yan being kidnapped by a strong man in the alley, and when he raised the idea of protecting his body, there was also a voice in his heart telling him that he must save her.
Otherwise, you will definitely regret it!
Black smoke rose and Lu Yun gently pushed Shi Shangfei and Xiang Yan away from both sides, and next, he planned to use his echo to resist the woman's attack.
Maybe it was because of the arm that wasn't his own, or maybe it was because of the more anomalous events he'd experienced, and he instinctively felt that her reverberations weren't really threatening him.
However, if Lu Yun goes to fight back at this time... He couldn't convince himself to do so, so Lu Yun used all the black smoke as defense.
The woman's hand picked up from Lu Yun's shoulder with great speed, and her nails were embedded with fragments of Lu Yun's flesh.
The scarlet vortex condensed into an extremely illusory stabbing sword in her hand, and only a slight shape could be seen, but the woman still grasped it solidly.
Then, stab it hard!
In a very short period of time, those middle-level employees didn't have time to make any effective actions, and Xiang Yan, who was standing beside Lu Yun, was at a loss because of their own lack of experience and strength.
Lu Yun himself could only embarrassmently leave behind a black smoke that was not thick to resist at the possible landing point of the stabbing sword.
"Stop."
The cold female voice sounded when everything was in chaos, and her voice was like a cold wave of water, dousing all the noise and ups and downs.
The woman's movements also stopped at this moment, and the bayonet sword in her hand was let go by herself, and she returned to nothingness.
Lu Yun was surprised to see that the woman's current appearance was very painful, but it was not the sadness caused by psychology before, but the extreme physical pain.
It's like... Drowned.
"Section Chief!"
"Section Chief!"
Those middle-level employees who were originally twisting and preparing to come over to protect Lu Yun also immediately stood up at this moment, and Xiang Yan beside Lu Yun also did the same, including those employees who dined normally.
Lu Yun, who was out of danger, dared to look in the direction of the correspondent at this time, and he found that the owner of the female voice had a relationship with him.
At the same time, she is also a woman who should be called a section chief.
Upper Section Chief, Field Support Department:
Luo Haiwei.
