Chapter 93

Song Xiaozhu stood frozen in place.

A man sat on her desk. He was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, completely different from his previous white uniform. It had shed its elegance and embellishment, and instead possessed a cold, sharp edge.

The man crossed his legs, his expression as arrogant as ever. The peculiar mechanical sword was tucked into his waistband, and the thick white mist around him seemed almost tangible, so heavy it was suffocating.

"Song Xiaozhu or Li Xiaozhu?" Fan Cang leisurely looked at the girl in front of him, as if he were sizing up prey for his sword. "Xiaozhu is an alias, isn't it? What is your real name?"

Chapter 93

The moment Song Xiaozhu saw Fan Cang, her mind raced. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but they all came to one point: Mu Qing had told Fan Cang.

It seems that Mu Qing is no longer the Boss Mu she knew.

Facing those God-Favored, Song Xiaozhu herself was practically powerless.

Her moves might work against ordinary people or Polluted Beast, but against a "superpowered person," they're as childish and laughable as a child's trick.

Every "All-Purpose Warrior" could easily kill her once they broke through Liu Family Village's defenses.

But Song Xiaozhu was confident that without her Slaughter Value, the God-Favored would have a hard time pinpointing her location, or even whether she was at Test Site No. 49. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to wait for the Three Kills Gang to test her.

The biggest risks are Mu Qing and Fan Cang.

When the isolation zone was first breached, Fan Cang didn't know she was God-Favored, something Song Xiaozhu was certain of. However, Mu Qing knew she was an "All-Purpose Craftsman."

This person held fast to the quarantine zone, striving for a glimmer of hope for ordinary people;

This man fought to the very end, protecting countless lumberjacks;

The Boss Mu, who entrusted the surviving loggers to her care, knew she was a "All-Purpose Craftsman."

Admittedly, those God-Favored are all All-Purpose Category, but not all All-Purpose Category God-Favored.

However, the new generation of All-Purpose Category are almost all God-Favored.

Moreover, there are too many coincidences surrounding Song Xiaozhu.

She is a wild "All-Purpose Craftsman" belonging to Test Site No. 49; she has no ability to kill.

And coincidentally, the 199th God-Favored had no Slaughter Value, and coincidentally, it was deduced that he was still in the Test Site 49.

Is there a third "All-Purpose Category" at Test Site No. 49?

No.

Therefore, this unique "All-Purpose Craftsman" is the 199th God-Favored.

Mu Qing told Fan Cang that she was an "All-Purpose Craftsman".

So, Fan Cang came to find her.

It is very difficult for other God-Favored to find her.

Only Fan Cang, with ease.

In response to Fan Cang's question, Song Xiaozhu didn't answer but instead asked, "And you, is Fan Cang your real name?"

Fan Cang raised his eyebrows. "When..." He didn't finish his sentence, realizing the deeper meaning in Song Xiaozhu's words.

"Indeed." Fan Cang smiled sarcastically. "The parents are fake, the background is fake, even the childhood friends are fake, so this name certainly isn't real either."

Fan Cang changed his question, "So, what name did they give you?"

Song Xiaozhu: "I don't know."

Fan Cang narrowed his eyes slightly. "Song Xiaozhu, I'm not a patient person."

The temperature inside the room dropped a few degrees, and the water droplets on Song Xiaozhu's hair froze into ice.

Song Xiaozhu's voice remained calm and gentle, without much fluctuation. "When I woke up, I was at the Garbage Mountain. Master Bai adopted me, and I'm sure Boss Mu knows what happened after that."

She looked at Fan Cang, her calm black eyes piercing through everything.

Fan Cang frowned slightly. "Have you really lost your memory?"

Song Xiaozhu didn't answer, but instead said, "Actually, I'm quite curious too, and I want to know if I'm truly God-Favored."

Fan Cang stretched out his long legs and easily left the table. He circled Song Xiaozhu twice, then crossed his arms and asked, "You've never killed anyone?"

"No."

"But you're already at level three."

"What, do you all level up by killing people?"

"The Heart of the Creator needs sacrifices."

"Using people as sacrifices?"

"Some sacrifices are necessary; those who achieve great things should not be swayed by sentimentality."

"To achieve great things?" Song Xiaozhu stared at him. "To become a ' Creator ' through slaughter? And then what? Will you benefit humanity, or completely destroy all human civilization?"

Fan Cang: "This is the cyclical nature of history; every dynastic change is accompanied by war and bloodshed."

"A nation built on slaughter, ruled by tyrants, will only lead to widespread suffering."

"Don't be naive. There are only 'tyrants' and 'hypocrites' in this world," Fan Cang scoffed. "I'd rather be a 'tyrant' than a 'hypocrite'."

Song Xiaozhu took a deep breath, too lazy to continue talking to him.

People with different principles cannot work together.

"Mr. Fan, if there's nothing else, please leave. I need to rest."

Her attitude piqued Fan Cang's curiosity.

Fan Cang leaned close to her, staring at her intently. "Song Xiaozhu, I'm here to kill you."

Song Xiaozhu replied expressionlessly, "Oh."

A flash of cold light streaked across the air, and the mechanical sword, like a bolt of lightning, instantly pressed against Song Xiaozhu's neck.

The cold blade gleamed with a chilling light, contrasting sharply with the soft skin of her neck. With just a little force, Fan Cang could slit Song Xiaozhu's throat or even rip off her head.

A powerful mechanical sword, yet flexible.

The girl's neck.

Given the vast difference in strength, the prey, who should have been terrified, remained calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

Aren't you afraid?

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Song Xiaozhu raised her hand and pushed away the long sword he was pressing against her neck. "If you want to kill me, I can't escape; if you don't want to kill me, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Fan Cang: "You've got a big heart."

Song Xiaozhu: "Mr. Fan, I know you want to use me as bait to lure those God-Favored. Don't worry, I won't leave Liu Family Village. No matter who comes, I will fight alongside the villagers to the end."
