Chapter 925: The Pursuer
Why didn't you open the door and let them in?
In the dimly lit room, Qin Liangyu put the child down and returned to the living room. She was somewhat angry to see that Chen Futu had locked her friend out.
Chen Futu did not answer the question, but simply gazed quietly at her face, which he had longed for day and night.
The historical Qin Liangyu may not have been a stunning beauty, but she was undoubtedly a heroine. The Qin Liangyu personality condensed by the system is also a perfect existence according to Chen Futu's imagination: a tall and heroic woman, stunningly beautiful and aloof.
At first glance, the person in front of him looked exactly like Qin Liangyu, but upon closer inspection, there were differences. Although Qin Liangyu was usually somewhat indifferent, her eyes would be very gentle when she was facing him, instead of the coldness and subtle hostility she showed now.
"System, has it been detected? What's wrong with her? Is there something wrong with my Zhensu, or has she been possessed by the will of heaven and earth?" Chen Futu asked worriedly in his heart.
The system replied, "We need a blood sample from Qin Liangyu collected by the host for a comprehensive analysis. Based on the current situation, there is a possibility that she has been possessed, or that something unexpected has happened to the real Qin Liangyu."
"Didn't I give her the doll that Consort Pingxin made? How could something have happened to her? Or is the doll not actually on her body?"
"The system is unaware. Please collect Qin Liangyu's blood sample as soon as possible so that the system can perform a test."
"understood."
Thinking of this, Chen Futu regained his usual gentleness and grabbed the imposter's hand. "Zhensu, how could you tell others that I am your ex-husband? Don't joke around. Our daughter is already so old. Ling'er will be sad if she knows you say such things."
Qin Liangyu coldly replied, "Back then, you could have gone to the upper realm, but you chose to stay in the lower realm. Wasn't it because you didn't want us, mother and daughter, anymore?"
"Look at what you're saying. You'll always be my wife. Besides, back then, with the chaos of the great war and people harvesting the lower realms, how could I have had the chance to travel with you all..." Chen Futu said, pointing to the room. "And what about that child? Don't tell me you've found another man."
Qin Liangyu frowned and said, "I saw a pitiful child, all alone. Can't I even adopt him out of kindness?"
"Of course, my wife can do whatever she wants."
Upon hearing that the child was not conceived with another man, Chen Futu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the possibility of the person in front of him being possessed could not be ruled out, and Chen Futu would not break off relations until he had figured out the truth.
Soon, Qin Liangyu opened the door, and the brother and sister barged into the living room, full of hostility towards Chen Futu.
Qin Liangyu introduced, "These two are from the legion, both of them are sixth-level experts. I have benefited greatly from their care over the years."
These siblings are named Zhao Tianhe and Zhao Yu'er.
Zhao Tianhe is Qin Liangyu's suitor, a fact that Chen Futu could discern from their earlier confrontation.
Furthermore, Qin Liangyu and her group ascended to the Upper Realm several hundred years ago. In reality, the flow of time in the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm is probably different. Perhaps not several hundred years have passed, but only a few decades. With a higher level of life, their lifespan is definitely much longer than that of low-level martial artists in the Lower Realm, so their appearance has not changed much.
"Zhensu, are you alright?" Zhao Tianhe was very worried about Qin Liangyu and immediately asked her gently.
Chen Futu watched coldly from the sidelines, not interrupting, but pondering how to obtain Qin Liangyu's blood sample. Perhaps taking her out hunting and injuring her would be the best way...
"Hey, ex-husband, why aren't you leaving yet!" Zhao Yu'er scolded, hands on her hips.
Chen Futu was displeased. "Who are you calling 'ex-husband'? If it weren't for Zhensu's sake, believe me, I would slap you to death."
"You? Hmph, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, your speech is so crude and vulgar!"
Zhao Yu'er still looked disdainful, then stepped forward, grabbed Qin Liangyu's hand and shook it, calling her "Sister Zhensu" as if she were being coquettish.
This scene left Chen Futu somewhat dazed. Back then, Xiuning liked to pull Qin Liangyu along like this, calling her "Sister Qin" repeatedly. Every time, Qin Liangyu would look at her with doting eyes. But now, someone else was acting coquettishly towards Qin Liangyu. The visual difference made Chen Futu even more convinced that there was something wrong with the Qin Liangyu in front of him. She would never be so close to another woman.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Now that the storm is coming, we need to think about how to survive."
Qin Liangyu smiled and patted Zhao Yu'er's head affectionately, then turned to Chen Futu with a cold expression and said, "Speak, what are your plans?"
Chen Futu spread his hands and said, "What other plans can we have? This wave is no small matter. It is a special wave. The people who are contaminated are not very intelligent at present, but their rank is very high. Before long, their intelligence will rise, and it will be a catastrophic disaster. I suggest that we evacuate Philadelphia."
"Are you kidding me?!" Zhao Tianhe scolded sternly. "Philadelphia is our home. How can we leave our home just because of a typhoon?"
“My brother is right. If your ex-husband is scared, he can leave on his own. Nobody is stopping him.”
Zhao Yu'er puffed out her cheeks and complained, wishing her ex-husband would stay away from the woman he liked.
Chen Futu replied indifferently, "In that case, let's all stay here and wait to die. Let's see if the inner city's legion can withstand this wave of specialization."
"Hmph, if you can't speak properly, you can shut up."
Zhao Yu'er stared with wide eyes as if she wanted to devour someone.
Chen Futu didn't care about the threat from a mere young girl. He lay casually on the sofa, stopped arguing with them, and continued to observe Qin Liangyu in secret.
Next, Qin Liangyu persuaded Zhao Tianhe to return to the army, and Zhao Yu'er also told her brother to go back, saying sarcastically, "Brother, don't worry, with me by Zhensu's side, I won't let that person get away with it."
"Okay, be careful. I'll go back and check the situation first. I'll let you know if there are any new decisions."
Before leaving, Zhao Tianhe glared at Chen Futu one last time.
Chen Futu raised his eyebrows and made a throat-slitting gesture at him, creating a tense atmosphere between them.
After Zhao Tianhe left in a hurry, Zhao Yu'er slammed the door shut. Just to be on the safe side, she even added hooks to the wall to prevent anything from breaking down the door.
After doing all this, Qin Liangyu went to prepare the meal. The two women went into the kitchen together, while Chen Futu took the opportunity to go into the room alone to see the child.
The system says Qin Liangyu has a problem, so could this child also have a problem?
The system replied, "Please have the host draw a drop of blood from the child and give it to the system for testing."
