So Shen Wang was not surprised that Zhou Xiangzhe came to a conclusion quickly.

After the report, Zhou Xiangzhe turned around and left again. The little black ball seemed to be confused about why he found the location but the owner left, so he followed hesitantly.

Zhou Xiangzhe sighed and picked up the little black ball on the ground.

“I named you Little Fifteen, how come you don’t look like him at all?”

“If it were him, he would know what I want to do at a glance…” Zhou Xiangzhe said to the little black ball, “right, Little Fifteen?” (still to the black ball)

The little black ball didn’t know anything. It was just a ball, and it couldn’t bear its owner’s broken thoughts.

So Zhou Xiangzhe put it down and took out a photo from his pocket.

The photo showed Shen Wang wearing a hospital gown. He was standing at the window. He seemed to feel someone behind him and turned around. He had black hair and black eyes and a slender figure. His beautiful peach eyes had not yet become a smiling facade. The coldness that was not hidden was frozen in a photo and engraved on it forever.

This was the only photo of Shen Wang that Zhou Xiangzhe got after he discovered that Shen Wang was missing.

His hands tightened a lot subconsciously, and there were marks on the photo, but he soon reacted. He quickly smoothed the photo, and there was an unconcealable sadness in his black eyes.

With a ding-dong sound, the communicator beside his ear lit up.

A familiar voice came from the communicator. It was Ming Guang.

“I’ve received your message. I am considering re-planning. Do you want to come back temporarily?”

“Zhou Xiangzhe? Your pollution level is not stable. It is best to come back and make a decision together.”

“Zhou Xiangzhe, can you hear me? Answer me!”

Zhou Xiangzhe unbuttoned his combat uniform jacket one by one. He kissed the photo lightly, and then put the photo in his hand into the inner pocket of the jacket, which is the place closest to his heart.

“It’s okay.” Zhou Xiangzhe said: “Before I go back, you are fully responsible for commanding Polaris.”

“What?” Ming Guang was keenly aware that something was wrong, “Zhou Xiangzhe? Zhou Xiangzhe, what do you want to do?!”

“Fuck, answer me!”

“Zhou…”

Zhou Xiangzhe hung up the call.

He continued to move forward, “I don’t know what I want to do either.”

“But Little Fifteen once said: It’s never wrong to keep going.”

“It’s never wrong.”

Shen Wang wanted to follow, but the white fog in front of him suddenly condensed, and the thick white fog blocked his sight, making it almost pitch-black. He barely passed through the fog, and there was no one in front of him.

Neither the current Zhou Xiangzhe nor the Zhou Xiangzhe three years ago was there.

“It’s really weird.” Shen Wang murmured as he walked forward, “Is this S-level pollutant so terrible? Just a little bit of pollution leaked out and it’s enough to make my painting unrecognizable to me.”

“After all, this painting was created by me, and yet I don’t have any control over it.”

It’s normal to get lost in this dense white fog. Shen Wang didn’t know where he was going. He just walked around as he pleased. When he saw a figure again, he had been walking for nearly half an hour.

There were shadowy figures in the fog. They all stood in front of him and formed a long wall of people. Everyone was shouting with their hands raised in indignation.

“What are you talking about?! The Deer God is not a pollutant!”

“The Deer God is a great god! The Deer God did nothing wrong! How can you wrongly accuse a good person!”

“Even if the Deer God is a pollutant, the Deer God has paid so much for us! He has saved so many people! You, the Pollution Control Center, will bully good people!”

“Get out! Get out of South City!”

“The Deer God protected us, and now it’s up to us to protect the Deer God!”

Shen Wang avoided the rioting crowd and looked inside from a certain direction. He saw an open space there, and in the middle of the open space stood a familiar person. Because the distance was too far, he could only see that he had black hair. Well, it was the Zhou Xiangzhe from three years ago.

Zhou Xiangzhe ignored the angry people. He stood there calmly and looked up at the mosaic statue in front of him.

“Control a city and control all the people in the city, are you satisfied with that?”

“To the Pollution Control Center, they are just ordinary people in a city. As long as the spread of pollution can be contained, it doesn’t matter if they are killed together.”

“When all your believers are dead, you will have no room to hide.”

It was the first time that Shen Wang heard Zhou Xiangzhe say such a thing. It didn’t seem like he could say that he would sacrifice the people of an entire city to destroy [Deer God].

But…

His voice was low, and his cold tone made these words extremely bland, but this bland tone carried an indescribable sense of threat. The more ordinary the threatening words were, the more chilling it would be. Anyone who came would feel that what he said was extremely true.

It even felt that the Pollution Control Center had already planned out to destroy all of Yutang South City.

So in the next moment, the golden silk thread instantly penetrated Zhou Xiangzhe’s legs from the ground. Zhou Xiangzhe knelt on one knee to support his body, but more golden threads came out from the ground. They rushed into his body, and Zhou Xiangzhe coughed out a mouthful of bright red blood.

He just endured it until all the threads were drilled in, and the black pupils flowed into the gold little by little. At this time, Zhou Xiangzhe suddenly raised his head.

“Little Fifteen!” (to black ball)

The huge black shadow-like substance overflowed from Zhou Xiangzhe’s body. They formed a huge, invisible and terrifying monster in the air. The monster had sharp teeth and huge curved horns, like a demon in a fairy tale.

This ‘demon’ fell from the sky and swallowed Zhou Xiangzhe into his stomach.

Shen Wang subconsciously took a step back. If it weren’t for the appearance similar to the black ball, Shen Wang couldn’t even connect this huge thing with Zhou Xiangzhe’s small black ball.

At the moment when the black ball swallowed up Zhou Xiangzhe, its whole body trembled violently, and the people who were still rioting around suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Zhou Xiangzhe in a strange posture.

At the last moment, the black ball spit out Zhou Xiangzhe, and it fell to the ground and gradually sank into the ground, but Zhou Xiangzhe, who was spit out, was not feeling well.

There was more and more gold in his pupils, and he vomited more blood.

Shen Wang stood in front of Zhou Xiangzhe, looking that the latter was in great pain, he himself felt a little pain surging in his heart.

In Zhou Xiangzhe’s life experience, killing the S-level pollutant [Deer God] was his most glorious achievement, and countless people worshiped and admired him for this, but if you stand here, you will see how painful it is for him to swallow the Deer God.

He endured the discomfort of being unable to digest a pollutant, and his whole body was burned internally by the pollution of [Deer God] (not physical burn). He could clearly feel that [Deer God] was changing his body and raising his pollution level.

“Does it have to be like this?” Shen Wang whispered softly.

Zhou Xiangzhe raised his head and looked forward, as if he had seen Shen Wang standing in front of him across time and space.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were a mixture of black and gold. Shen Wang saw tears in his eyes, but he didn’t know whether the tears were due to pain or something else.

But at this moment, he smiled with tears in his eyes.

Shen Wang slightly widened his eyes.

Shen Wang was a very sensitive person. He could easily judge a person’s state. At that moment, he saw pleasure in Zhou Xiangzhe’s smile.

He did it on purpose, he did it on purpose!

This is a terrifying fact.

Everyone said that Zhou Xiangzhe was a miraculous mutant. His pollution level had exceeded 80%, but he had never shown any mental abnormality. However, no one had discovered that his mental abnormality had already appeared. It was a strong desire for self-destruction and a subconscious self-sacrifice.

However, ‘self-sacrifice for others’ is such a beautiful altruistic quality. Zhou Xiangzhe cleverly replaced his desire in this direction, and no one discovered it.

Everyone thinks Zhou Xiangzhe is such a good person. He is the Guardian, and someone everyone can rely on.

It’s so ridiculous that no one except himself(SW) has discovered this!

With a bang, like thunder and bells, the white mist in front of him dispersed, and the smiling person in front of him also shattered and disappeared. Shen Wang turned his head to look at the side. The huge black ball ate all the white mist, and the sharp teeth were shining. The little tail that Shen Wang called cute also turned into a thick one coiled on his body. Its black eyes were full of fierce light.

Zhou Xiangzhe stood beside it, and when he saw Shen Wang, his eyes flashed with worry.

“Shen Wang!” Zhou Xiangzhe ran over, “Are you okay?”

Shen Wang looked at him, and after a long time, he looked down at his hand. Before Zhou Xiangzhe could speak, Shen Wang clenched his fist and punched Zhou Xiangzhe in the abdomen.

He didn’t show mercy. Zhou Xiangzhe took two steps back. He covered the place where he was hit and was a little confused.

“Does it hurt?” Shen Wang asked him.

Zhou Xiangzhe frowned and looked at Shen Wang, and shook his head after a long time, “Are you okay?”

So Shen Wang walked over and punched him again.

“Does it hurt?”

Zhou Xiangzhe sensed something from Shen Wang’s emotions. He reached out and held Shen Wang’s clenched fist, and then carefully placed his hand on his chest.

“… It hurts, it hurts a lot.”

“Remember this pain.” Shen Wang stared into his eyes, “If you encounter something more painful than this in the future, avoid it, and don’t suffer more pain than this, understand?”

Can mental abnormality be changed?

District S is overcrowded, and there are crazy mutants everywhere. Even in Central City, there are mentally abnormal mutants causing trouble.

However, he didn’t want Zhou Xiangzhe to continue to suffer this.

Just like when he was a child, Little Fifteen could always get back what Little Seven had been robbed of, even if it was a piece of candy or a cup of water.

So now, even if it’s a mental abnormality, he(15) will destroy it for him.(7)
