Chapter 1231: Out of the Lab
That day, he had made a special trip to the casino to find her.
Originally, he had only been worried something would happen to her. However, seeing how she had been heartbroken for another man, he couldn’t help but want to possess her entirely and tell her that he was the one who really deserved her. She was only sixteen years old and she was still very weak, so it was dangerous to meet with someone of alien blood, but Wei Lingnan couldn’t wait that long. He didn’t want to wait a few more years to possess her. The jealousy and longing in him would drive him crazy.
He loved her.
It was needless to say.
Xia Yingluo only felt frightened. What was even more terrible than accidentally being stared at by a lunatic, was being deliberately focused on by a lunatic. She didn’t want to be with him, not for a minute or a second more. His touch only made her feel humiliated. She forced herself to calm down, and her thoughts turned quickly. She tried to negotiate with him. “Wei Lingnan, if you really love me, don’t do this to me. You don’t want me to hate you more and more, right? How about a deal? If you stop forcing me onto the bed... to do that kind of thing, I’ll tell you what I dreamt of, okay? Didn’t you always wanted to know what I dreamt about?”
Wei Lingnan’s pair of smooth eyes did not change, but the air seemed to freeze.
After a while, he said softly, “So you really dreamt?”
“Yes,” she said with courage. “I didn’t dream about what Avatar Planet, I dreamt of Skatana Planet. Don’t do overboard things with me if you want to know the details. Then, I’ll tell you.”
Wei Lingnan looked down at her. “Ah Luo, you’re wrong. From beginning to the end, you weren’t in your dream, it was you—the dream is only incidental. Don’t put the cart before the horse.”
She choked, feeling slight suffocation in her chest.
Suddenly, Wei Lingnan smiled again. “But it doesn’t hurt to listen. How about a night’s rest in exchange for a dream?”
“Two nights.”
“Two dreams for three nights. If you agree, you agree. I don’t care if you don’t,” Wei Lingnan said.
Xia Yingluo gritted her teeth. “... Deal.” She knew that she had fallen into enemy hands and wasn’t qualified to talk to him about conditions. Two dreams in three nights might have been the best exchange.
Wei Lingnan laughed again. “Good girl. Then, come and tell me what you dreamt of?”
“The first time, it was a mysterious purple planet with a cracked ground.” Xia Yingluo rationalized her thoughts and said, “It was in Shanglin Nanyuan that I dreamt after drinking your cocktail. I guess I was affected by your story.”
“Is there nothing else in the dream?”
“There were white flowers and monsters, the things you mentioned.”
Wei Lingnan was a little disappointed. He wasn’t sure if she had dreamt of her memories, or if she had just been bewitched by his story. Quietly, he asked her, “Have you ever dreamt of other things?”
“In the grove of the training camp, when I passed out, I dreamed of two monsters in the dense fog, or maybe they were the Skatana clan, and they were fighting.” She didn’t want to tell him that the two monsters might be mating since she wasn’t sure.
His eyes lightened slightly. “You dreamt of them fighting?”
Neither in his story nor the fresco in the Shanglin Nanyuan villa was mentioned that the Skatana family would fight and kill each other. If she dreamt of it, did it mean that her memory was being restored step by step? Unfortunately, the next few dreams disappointed him. They were all fog and purple cracks, nothing special.
Xia Yingluo’s mouth was dry.
He kept asking, “Did you dream of other things?”
She said, “One more, I dreamt I was trying to go down into the deep purple crack.”
Wei Lingnan’s expression was tense. “What’s in it?”
Xia Yingluo thought about it. “Nothing special, there was a kind of... red flower?”
Wei Lingnan’s tight look slowly dissipated, and it was replaced by squinting eyes and a threatening voice. “Ah Luo, I allowed you to exchange nights with dreams, but if you lie to me, you will suffer and be punished.”
She was surprised. “How did you know that I lied to you?” She had made up the little red flower. She just wanted to invent more stories and win more peaceful nights for herself.
“There’s no such flower in the Skatana Planet,” Wei Lingnan said briefly.
So, he was judging based on whether there was such a thing on the Skatana Planet? Xia Yingluo only felt it was ridiculous and frightening. Did that mean the Planet really existed? What alien... she was actually gradually starting to believe it.
Looking at him with inexplicably, the man in front clearly looked no different from humans on Earth?
What kind of mythomania was this... or perhaps, her brainwaves were being controlled?
Xia Yingluo was confused.
As if seeing through her confusion, Wei Lingnan said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it, I’ll make you believe it. Ah Luo, do you want to see the Skatana Planet? I re-developed it.”
As long as he did not force her onto the bed, she was willing to do anything.
So, she said, “Okay.”
She obediently followed him and walked out of the laboratory.
This was the first time she had left the laboratory in many days, and she was shocked beyond words when she saw the endless darkness outside. This laboratory was like a star hanging in the universe. It was dark purple, with a soft light flashing. Above and below it, front and back, left and right, there was nothing.
“Are you afraid?” He asked her, standing on the platform outside the laboratory.
She turned back and shook her head. No, not afraid, she was just shocked. It was so magnificent and beautiful.
Wei Lingnan said, “This is my Ah Luo. The Skatana people are never afraid of darkness.”
Xia Yingluo turned to look at him and wanted to bite her tongue off in regret. If she had known that Ah Luo wasn’t afraid of darkness, she would have cried and told him she was afraid! In that case, maybe he would lose interest in her earlier and let her go. But now, it was too late to say anything.
Wei Lingnan wore a white shirt and stood on the edge of the corridor high up on the sky. Black mist filled his shirt, making him look mysterious and unpredictable. He raised his hand and touched some mechanism, and there was a touch of metallic color in the distant darkness. Only then did Xia Yingluo discover that it was a metal conveyor belt. It was winded out hundreds of meters without any help.
The metal belt stopped at their feet.
Wei Lingnan took the lead and stepped out to help her. “Come up.”
She was a little scared. Such a slender conveyor belt seemed it would break when she stepped on it, but she didn’t want to be underestimated by him, so she gathered up the courage to step on it—without letting him help.
Wei Lingnan retracted his hand, looking at her deeply.
His Ah Luo was also strong and independent.
