After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: I Was Dizzy, I Was Pretending
With a “click” sound, the lock that was holding Zhouzhou’s hand snapped open. She sat up, flexed her wrist, and frowned when she saw her feet were still locked. With a gentle twist of her small hand, the diamond that El had just boasted about snapped in half.

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Instinctively, he looked back at Qin Ren, but there was no trace of the fear he had shown earlier on his face, only calmness.

Finally realizing the situation, El became guarded and asked, “You intentionally led me here, didn’t you?”

“And what if we did?” Despite being bound, Qin Ren showed no concern. “Do you think I would make the same mistake I made ten years ago? I smelled the scent of the sleeping drug since we got into the car.”

“Then why did you still come?”

“To save the airfare.” Zhouzhou answered this question. The little girl sat cross-legged on the lab bench, as comfortable as if she were in her own home. She spoke seriously, “Eldest Brother said that to find your hideout, we had to take a plane. But plane tickets are expensive, and I don’t have money. It’s not easy for my dad to earn money, so I have to be frugal. Since you called us here, it’s only fair that you pay for our travel expenses.”

She said it as if it were the most natural thing. El was left speechless. He never expected this answer.

He looked at Zhouzhou, his interest gradually piqued. “Little girl, my drugs had no effect on you, did they? Who exactly are you and how did you do it?”

He looked at her with eyes that seemed to want to thoroughly examine her from the inside out.

Different from Qin Lie, his gaze made her feel like a piece of meat on a chopping board.

El stared at her, his eyes becoming even more fervent. “Number One took so much effort for me to create, but you seem to be much more formidable than him and have more research value.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s face immediately turned cold. “Dare to bully Eldest Brother, you’re asking for death!”

As she spoke, she jumped down from the lab bench, but a sudden white mist blocked her vision.

El’s voice came from within the mist, “Number One, you should know how dangerous this place is. Since you’ve come, don’t leave. Stay here and let me conduct my research. My experiment is about to succeed.”

“Little girl, there’s no need to waste your effort. You can’t catch me.” Taking advantage of the white mist, El quickly opened the door and ran to a secret room. He looked at the surveillance video on the screen and smiled.

The security system here was created by the most powerful company he could find. There would be no issues, and no one could enter.

“Is that so?” A young voice sounded in his ear. El’s smile froze in an instant. Before he could react, a small hand suddenly grabbed his ankle, and he was flung out.

Zhouzhou waved her hand, and the surrounding white mist instantly dissipated. She looked at El lying on the ground, furrowing her brows in displeasure. “All you do is brag.”

She thought she was so formidable, but it was boring.

Originally, she wanted to give him another beating, but suddenly she heard Qin Ren say, “Zhouzhou, stop playing.”

Fine.

Zhouzhou stuck a Pass-Through Wall Talisman on her forehead, then grabbed one of El’s arms and dragged him out like a dead pig.

With a “clang” sound, Zhouzhou’s movement halted. She turned her head and looked at El, slapping her forehead in realization, “Oh, I forgot about you.”

He didn’t have a Pass-Through Wall Talisman, so he couldn’t pass through.

Thus, Qin Ren stood on the other side of the wall, helplessly watching Zhouzhou’s head poke out and then retract.

No matter how cute the little girl was, this scene was somewhat eerie.

He wiped his face and tried to calm down. Giving El a talisman as well, this time Zhouzhou easily took him along, casually throwing him on the ground and looking up at Qin Ren, “Eldest Brother.”

Her eyes sparkled, as if waiting for praise, causing Qin Ren to chuckle lightly. “Well, little cousin is still cute.”

“Very impressive,” he praised cooperatively.

Zhouzhou’s mouth curled up in satisfaction, proudly shaking her head, then she turned to look at El, “Eldest Brother, what should we do with him?”

Seeing him, Qin Ren’s face immediately turned cold. “Tie him up.”

Zhouzhou looked around but couldn’t find any ropes. Her gaze fell on the lab bench, and an idea struck her.

A few seconds later, as they looked at El bound hand and foot, the siblings exchanged a glance and smiled in unison.

Zhouzhou clapped her hands and asked, “Eldest Brother, what do we do now?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ren glanced around, recognizing the familiar laboratory. This was his greatest fear and the biggest nightmare of the past ten years. Today, he would finally put an end to this.

Thinking this, he took a deep breath and calmly said, “Let’s go take a look first.”

“Okay.”

After walking for a while, there was movement in the bag at his waist. Since arriving here, the response from the Soul-Nurturing Talisman had been growing stronger. Zhouzhou decided to let Little Peng out.

Looking at everything around him, Little Peng was initially confused, but when he saw the experimental bench, he suddenly let out a scream, clutching his head and rolling on the ground in pain.

When she saw him suddenly stop, Qin Ren turned his head to look at Zhouzhou, noticing her gaze fixed in one direction and glanced at the talisman in her hand, understanding what had happened.

It must be the spiritual body she brought.

Zhouzhou looked at Little Peng, her brows furrowing tightly. As she watched the surging malevolence engulfing him and his eyes slowly turning red, her heart sank.

Oh no!

Reacting quickly, she threw a Exorcism Talisman, sternly saying, “Focus.”

At this moment, Little Peng’s mind felt as if it was about to explode. Memories rushed into his mind in a chaotic frenzy, almost overwhelming his consciousness. But hearing Zhouzhou’s voice, he slowly regained some awareness.

After a while, he stabilized.

Seeing his black pupils returning to their normal color, Zhouzhou breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that he didn’t turn into a vengeful spirit. Otherwise, even if she fulfilled his wish, he wouldn’t be able to reincarnate.

“What happened to you?”

Little Peng was still lying on the ground, his eyes slowly regaining focus. He saw the girl’s face and suddenly pouted, as if seeing a loved one, and said with a touch of grievance, “I regained my memories.”

His voice had a somewhat teary tone.

He got up from the ground, looking at El on the experimental bench, his body trembling uncontrollably. He exclaimed with hatred, “He’s the one who killed me!”

Zhouzhou already knew about this matter and wasn’t too surprised. She asked, “How did he harm you?”

Recalling the previous events, Little Peng trembled even more, feeling both hatred and fear. He looked at El, his voice filled with terror, “He injected me with all sorts of strange drugs, and then I was locked in a white room…”

Thinking of the dreadful things, he shuddered before continuing, “At first, I felt my body becoming strong, but then one day, my seven orifices started bleeding, and after that, I heard him saying the experiment had failed and that he would dispose of me.”

As for how he was going to dispose of him, it was evident from his current state.

Zhouzhou relayed these words to Qin Ren. Hearing about the white room he mentioned, Qin Ren’s breathing became irregular for a moment.

After a moment, he struggled to speak, “Ask him if that room is called Room Eight.”

There was no need for Zhouzhou to relay this question. Little Peng could hear it himself, and he finally noticed Qin Ren’s presence. He turned his head to look at him, recognized his appearance, and exclaimed in surprise, “You’re… A’ Ren?!”
