Chapter 96: Mo Qi (2)

Ye Xingchen never believed that there were any coincidences in this world. If there were, it must have been intentional.

“Why me? I’m not the only one who’s been there.”

Hearing this, Mo Qi looked a little aggrieved. “I also looked for other people, but not only did they scold me, they also raised their knives to cut me and told me to get lost.”

“No wonder.” Ye Xingchen thought. After all, this was the end of the world. Who would be willing to feed someone the food that they needed for survival? Moreover, this was a stranger who had no blood relationship with them.

“What else do you have besides electricity? When did you awaken? What was the reason behind your awakening?”

This was the question Ye Xingchen wanted to know the most. After all, compared to his space ability, Mo Qi’s ability was undoubtedly more useful in this apocalypse.

His space ability was very useful, but when he encountered enemies, his space was somewhat useless. After all, he couldn’t hide in the space forever. After he stayed in the space for enough time, he would be forced out of the space. When he faced enemies with other powerful abilities, he would still be unable to escape death.

Therefore, Ye Xingchen, who originally wanted to kill Mo Qi directly, had other thoughts after seeing Mo Qi’s ability.

Of course, it would be best if Mo Qi could be used by him. If she had other thoughts, it would not be too late to let her die then.

“I don’t know either, but I seem to only know how to control electricity for the time being.”

“It was after I saw you conjure something out of thin air for the first time that 1 suddenly became able to discharge electricity.”

“I don’t know how I woke up either. 1 only remember that 1 was cold and hungry at that time, and I even fainted from the cold. After I woke up, I suddenly had a superpower.”

In the suburbs, Mo Qi would eat the snow on the ground when she was thirsty. When she was hungry, she would eat stuff from the garbage. She even ate the leaves on the green trees that had not been buried by the snow. Mo Qi had already eaten a few green trees on the other side.

“You asked me to take you in. What are your plans? Do you want to kill me and then take over my home?”

Ye Xingchen asked the most important question. He didn’t know if Mo Qi was harmful.

“Why would I?! The orphanage director’s mother said that killing people was illegal! You can take me in or adopt me. The director’s mother taught us that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. As long as you give me a bite, I can do anything you want me to do, but I can’t do anything illegal.”

Mo Qi frowned and looked serious. “You gave me water to drink and biscuits to eat. You’ve done me a favor. How could 1 kill you?”

If it wasn’t for Mo Qi’s unfocused pupils, Ye Xingchen would have thought that she was acting.

“You always say that you’re willing to listen to me and do whatever I tell you to do, but how can I believe you?”

Ye Xingchen never believed in promises. He only believed in benefits. Any relationship without benefits as a link was not worthy of trust.

“I…” Mo Qi’s expression was also very conflicted. She didn’t know how to prove herself. “Believe me, 1 don’t lie. If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you!” “What if I ask you to kill someone? Are you willing? You just said that you won’t do anything illegal.”

Mo Qi once fell into a dilemma. She had never killed anyone, and the mother of the director had said that killing was illegal.

“Do I have to kill someone? But isn’t it illegal?”

“I want you to listen to me and obey me unconditionally. Can you do that? If you can’t do it, you can leave now.”

It was the same excuse. Ye Xingchen had once said this to Lin Sijia.

Mo Qi was a little hesitant, but in the end, she still nodded. Because in her heart, Ye Xingchen was different from others. Ye Xingchen was a good person. He not only gave her water to drink but also gave her biscuits to eat.

“I, I can do it!”

Lin Sijia fed Mo Qi another glass of water. A few minutes later, Mo Qi woke up.

When she came to her senses, tears could not help but fall to the ground.

Her biscuits! She had such precious biscuits! They actually fell to the ground!

“I… I’m sorry, I don’t know why the biscuits fell to the ground. 1 was eating so carefully just now.”

Mo Qi knew how scarce food was now. After all, when she was in the orphanage, the director’s mother had told her about everything. On the night the director’s mother froze to death, she was knocked unconscious by someone. When she opened her eyes, she was in a strange place.

“Untie her hand.”

Ye Xingchen took out a bag of bread and a box of milk from the space and threw them in front of Mo Qi.

Lin Sijia obediently went up to untie the rope and tape on Mo Qi’s wrist, but the anesthetic in Mo Qi’s limbs had not worn off yet.

Looking at the bag of bread and milk that was suddenly thrown in front of her, Mo Qi couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. “These are all… For me?”

One had to know that this bag of bread was already a day’s food for everyone in the orphanage!

“Yes, eat.”

Ye Xingchen was a kind boss. If he wanted Mo Qi to work for him, he would definitely let her eat her fill.

Mo Qi struggled to move, but she found that she couldn’t raise her hand. She could only squirm forward and use her head to nudge the bag of bread towards Lin Sijia.

“There’s only one bag of bread. Let’s split it among the three of us!”

Mo Qi’s subconscious sharing instantly improved Ye Xingchen’s impression of her. He even saw that the anesthesia in Mo Qi’s body had not passed, so he asked Lin Sijia to re-tie Mo Qi’s hands in front of her and even let Lin Sijia feed her bread.

“We’ve both eaten. The bread is all yours.”

“Food is very precious now. I’ve already eaten poison. I’m dying. I’ll just eat two pieces. Any more is a waste.”

Lin Sijia glanced at Ye Xingchen, who scratched his nose in embarrassment. “It’s fine. This poison won’t kill you for a while. As long as you’re loyal to me and don’t betray me, I’ll give you the antidote regularly.”

Mo Qi was still a child, so she was easily fooled by Ye Xingchen.

In the end, she only ate half of the bag of bread. Although she was not full yet, she insisted on leaving half for Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia.

“Alright, are you done eating? If you’re done eating, come and sit down. I’ll tell you something.”

“You saw my secret, right?”

“Yes, I can conjure things out of thin air, but this is not magic. I’m just like you, 1 have special abilities..”
