Zhao Xiaokui was put into the water by Shen Zhifei.
The clothes on her body have been removed, and the moment she enters the water, her frowning brows show a soothing expression.
Under the illumination of the bathroom lights, her body lying in the bathtub was brighter than the ceramics, almost setting off the surrounding porcelains.
She is like Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty sleeping in the water, and like a siren.
Divine and evil bloomed in her at the same time, and chaos made beauty lose its boundaries.
When he regained his senses, the tip of Shen Zhifei's nose had already touched the surface of the water.
She raised her head hastily, in shock.
She had no idea when she was approaching the water.
If he hadn't recovered in time, he might have drowned in the water at this time.
Shen Zhifei forced himself to close his eyes, looked away, and set his eyes on the checkered tiles on the ground.
Rarely has she been so out of control.
The rapid breathing and thunderous heartbeat gradually calmed down after a few minutes.
The first contact with the mysterious side left her with a thrilling feeling.
She had never seen blood or violence, but she almost gave her life in silence.
She left the bathroom with the large bathtub to Zhao Xiaokui, returned to the small bathroom in the master bedroom, washed her face with cold water, and looked up at the embarrassed person in the mirror.
Drops of water converged on her chin and fell, soaking her chest with water from her new shirt.
I was afraid that this would come surging.
…
When Zhao Xiaokui woke up, the clock on the wall had already pointed to twelve.
The night outside the window was already dark, and three or two stars flickered on the black curtain.
Shen Zhifei was not at home.
She grabbed the edge of the bathtub with her arms, and sat up from the water with a clatter, her long dark-blue hair was like a handful of seaweed, softly attached to her back.
There has been a slight difference in her image from the daytime—
The first is the straight hair with ion perm, which has turned into a slight natural volume again, and the second is her facial features, which seem to have been refined with PS, becoming more symmetrical and in line with the beauty.
She doesn't have to worry about being suspected of plastic surgery on her face at this time, because everyone with eyes can see that there is no plastic surgeon with better technology than the hand of God.
This is a face that cannot be faked, because any imperfection will be magnified into a flaw.
She tore off the bath towel hanging on the side and draped it over her body. The dripping drops of water disappeared completely before she stepped on the waterproof pad outside the bathroom.
Her thick long hair became fluffy and soft in an instant, as if it had been gently stroked with the most expensive hair dryer.
Control water.
A simple yet practically human ability.
When the toes stepped on the ground, there was still pain, but it was within the tolerable range.
She didn't go to see the slippers that Shen Zhifei had prepared for her - any restraint and contact would cause her extra, unnecessary pain.
If it weren't for the inherent shame of human beings, she would not even wear a bath towel on her body.
She walked out, the living room did not turn on the lights, the moonlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and she quickly saw the note on the coffee table.
Her bag and mobile phone were placed beside her. Zhao Xiaokui walked over, took a look at the time with her mobile phone, and then set her eyes on the handwriting on the note.
"I'm going to an auction for one night. I'm going to go home around twelve o'clock. There is chicken porridge that is being kept warm in the kitchen, the snacks I bought for you are on the table in the restaurant, and the water you can drink is in the refrigerator."
Then there was the phone call between Shen Zhifei and her assistant.
Zhao Xiaokui went to the kitchen first, unplugged the power socket, and opened the lid of the rice cooker.
A strong, unique aroma of rice porridge spread out.
She felt hungry all of a sudden.
…
Travelling is not entirely without benefits.
Only after wearing it did Zhao Xiaokui feel the benefits.
Just talking about the ability to control water is more practical than she imagined.
Whether it is used as a towel and a hair dryer to directly drain the water molecules on the body surface to achieve instant drying, or to divide the hot thick porridge into several portions to speed up heat dissipation…
These are all uses that she never thought of when she got this ability.
After all, when she was in the deep sea, what else could she do other than control the current to catch fish
Draining to create a dry space... She thought, the sea pressure wouldn't allow it.
After a bowl of chicken porridge with just the right temperature, she finally felt a sense of revival, and even the pain that existed all the time seemed to become milder.
Six hours of effort, the transformation of the soul to the *** has been initially completed.
The rest are some water-milling work that takes time.
Just like a fertilized egg develops into a fetus in the womb, although the born baby has hands and feet, it needs time to grow up and adapt to walking and running.
One step is the computer pinching the face, the reality is more time-consuming than this.
It's just that the time she needs to spend now is much less than waiting for a child to grow up.
Zhao Xiaokui estimated by herself that it would only take about a year for her sex to completely match her soul.
This speed is okay.
The further back, the lower the level of pain, and she felt that she should be able to adapt quickly.
After drinking the porridge, Zhao Xiaokui glanced at the phone, it was almost time.
"Shen Zhifei hasn't come back yet..."
She considered the possibility of Shen Zhifei hiding for a second, and finally decided to give her a call.
After all, she now eats and employs others, and it's a bit unreasonable not to care about the safety of the landlord.
Zhao Xiaokui felt embarrassed after getting through the phone.
It's her who threatens others, and it feels fake to make this call.
"Hello?" Shen Zhifei, who couldn't hear Zhao Xiaokui's voice, spoke first.
Zhao Xiaokui said slowly: "...It's past one o'clock now."
Shen Zhifei suddenly wanted to laugh.
She felt like a bad parent who told her child a good time to go home but returned late.
The auction did not end at the same time, but like her, there were not many people left until the end. In the huge parking lot, only a few cars were left.
Greeting a few familiar people, Shen Zhifei held the phone in one hand and pressed the car key in the other. With two beeps, the door was unlocked, she opened the driver's door, sat in, and threw the bag in her hand at the same time. to the passenger seat.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask the organizer about some auction matters. I will be back soon. Do you want to eat something? There should be many supper shops open at this time. I can bring you supper back."
She spoke naturally and familiarly, as if the two had known each other for many years.
This attitude almost made Zhao Xiaokui forget that the two met for the first time in the true sense this afternoon.
"Even if she's bluffing me... I recognize it."
Even if she knew that Shen Zhifei might not have much sincerity towards herself, and the gentleness she showed might be more of a disguise and coping, Zhao Xiaokui still...
She has always been soft-hearted towards older and gentle women.
"It's fine for me to eat whatever I want, anything." Afraid of Shen Zhifei's misunderstanding, she deliberately explained, "It's not the kind of casual that I'm not happy with what you buy, it's true that you can eat anything, there are Just buy whatever you want, don't be too troublesome, if it's too troublesome, don't, and I'm not very hungry."
Afraid to trouble others.
The kindness shown to her is cherishing and restrained.
This is completely different from the Zhao Zijin shown in the investigation materials handed over to her by the private detective.
In that one-hundred-page report, Zhao Zijin was a highly skilled woman who could send the CEO of the Rong family 20 kilometers away to buy a barbecue in the middle of the night, and then drive people away from the apartment.
The Zhao Xiaokui she met was more like a little girl who had not yet grown up, carefully accepting the good and evil bestowed by the world.
"Is it still as much as the afternoon?"
Before she put Zhao Xiaokui into the bathtub, she fed a considerable amount of food.
These included a whole twelve-inch cake, a vat of chocolates, and countless snacks.
Zhao Xiaokui did not answer the question immediately, but hesitated between restraint and food.
There's nothing to maintain the character design, but eating so much in the middle of the night... Will it make her look like a rice bucket
Shen Zhifei on the other end of the phone guessed the answer almost when she was silent.
She recalled in her mind the locations of several shops that were open until the early hours of the morning, inserted the key into the keyhole, and prepared to press the start button of the car.
She had no choice but to think of what her car looked like when it was filled with the smell of food.
However, unexpectedly, this imagination made her feel... not bad, without the disgust she expected.
Maybe it's because the person she wants to bring supper is really annoying - even if she almost lost her life because of her unconscious temptation.
It wasn't her fault, Shen Zhifei couldn't help defending Zhao Xiaokui, she probably didn't even know what happened while she was in a coma.
"I'm going to drive. If I'm sleepy, I'll sleep for a while. I'm hungry. There's food in the refrigerator and in the restaurant—"
The lights in the parking lot suddenly went out without warning.
The sound of talking and walking, I don't know when they all disappeared.
Quiet as death.
The sound of footsteps and voices seemed to be annihilated in the darkness together.
She kept her posture before turning off the lights, with a vigilant look on her face, her eyes looking around like sharp eagle eyes.
But she couldn't see anything—the darkness blocked her vision, and she couldn't even see herself.
Shen Zhifei was in the darkness, his whole body seemed to be enveloped by a viscous and dense substance, his heart was as heavy as a stone was crushed, and the air he breathed was moist and full of decay.
Not right, very wrong.
Shen Zhifei, who had only seen the mysterious power in the afternoon, no longer doubted the existence of the power that cannot be explained by science. What she wondered was what this power was and what to do
She didn't open the car door hastily. The car has an automatic locking function. If the creature in the dark before she got in the car did not follow her into the car, then she is at least in a relatively airtight and safe environment. Know how long this safety can last.
The real fear is often not from a powerful monster or a bloody murderer, but from the unknown - the unknown where death hangs crumbling above the head like the sword of Damocles.
Zhao Xiaokui heard no more voices than hers.
But it is strange because it is not much more than her.
Almost as soon as the other end of the phone was quiet, she realized the fact that something had happened.
And it's not an ordinary thing.
After undergoing a transformation that could almost be called a refurbishment, the sensitivity of her facial features has far exceeded the range that a normal person can achieve.
Even when she was on the phone with Shen Zhifei, she could hear the rustling voices in the parking lot through her phone.
But these sounds disappeared almost instantly.
And the call between her and Shen Zhifei showed that the call had not been hung up.
Something has come up...
"I hope the opponent is not too strong."
Zhao Xiaokui, who was looking through clothes in Shen Zhifei's closet, thought.
Otherwise, she would be the food delivery.
