Chapter 372: 241: Early Morning and Visiting a Good Friend

The chill of the early morning was dispersed by the sunlight.

Bianchuan City.

At the entrance of an apartment complex.

Cactus carried breakfast in her hand, standing at the entrance.

She still wore that strange mix of homeless-style clothes, her face heavily painted with smoky makeup, a lollipop in her mouth, and occasionally biting on it with a crunch.

A typical image of a young troublemaker.

In the security guard room.

The security guard who had just finished the night shift looked somewhat listless.

It was now the shift change.

While waiting for his colleague to take over, he aimlessly swiped through his phone, occasionally glancing around at the surroundings.

Lowering his head again.

The security guard started scrolling on his phone.

Cactus took a step forward.

Just like that, openly, she walked into the residential area.

With each step, her figure shrank a little.

By the time she passed the security room.

She looked like a palm-sized figurine.

Entering the residential area.

Cactus did not immediately return to her normal size.

“Where is it…”

She frowned, her face showing thoughtfulness.

About her best friend’s residence.

Although her friend had told Cactus many times.

But Cactus never listened.

Because she doesn’t like to visit people’s homes.

She never thought that one day she would visit her friend’s home.

As for asking her friend.

That would be no fun.

Cactus wanted to surprise her friend with an unexpected visit, and capture her shocked expression with her phone.

After a long pondering.

Cactus finally remembered.

She strode forward.

Her tiny figure passed through the green belt in the residential area.

Taking advantage of the absence of people and cameras around.

She quickly returned to her normal size.

Winding through the residential area.

After a long search, Cactus finally arrived downstairs of her friend’s home.

The first-floor door was tightly closed.

Under normal circumstances, if a visitor comes, they need to access the voice phone connected to the resident’s home.

Only then can the resident open the door through their operation.

However,

This doesn’t trouble Cactus.

She used her ability again to leap over the gap, like hurdling through the door.

Successfully entering the interior.

“I remember it’s… the tenth floor.”

Ding-dong~

The elevator door slowly opened.

Cactus took excited steps, preparing to find her friend’s front door.

Outside the elevator.

Was a long corridor.

The room closest to Cactus was 1203.

Her friend’s location,

It was 1206.

According to the order, she should walk to the left.

“Huh?”

Just as she was about to move forward.

Her originally raised foot paused.

Just now… it seemed like a figure flashed by?

Looking at the empty corridor in front of her.

Cactus tilted her head slightly, showing confusion.

She looked left and right.

But she found no one other than herself.

Her nose twitched slightly.

The young woman didn’t follow the plan to knock on her friend’s door.

Instead, like a little dog, she sniffed left and right in the corridor, trying to find any traces.

She didn’t think it was her imagination.

In an extremely short moment.

She felt for sure that there were other people in the corridor.

But that feeling vanished in an instant.

No matter how hard Cactus searched, she couldn’t find any trace of the other person.

“…”

Meanwhile, behind Cactus.

Bystander stood in her blind spot, following her step by step.

He didn’t deliberately lower the sound of his footsteps.

Yet Cactus couldn’t detect his presence at all.

Bystander had a blank expression, his cold eyes staring at the girl’s back.

This woman… wasn’t she supposed to be dead already?

Before Sun Yi left.

Spirit Intellect had implanted a consciousness in him.

With this consciousness, Spirit Intellect could sense Sun Yi’s location at any given time.

At the same time,

Spirit Intellect could also forcefully compress Sun Yi’s consciousness and observe the world through Sun Yi’s eyes.

This was also the reason why the Godly Humans Association could detect Chen Sheng’s approach in advance.

According to Spirit Intellect,

This quirky woman who calls herself Cauliflower,

Should have already died at the hands of that man in the black robe.

Why did she suddenly appear here?

“Spirit Intellect.”

“Can you hear me?”

Bystander tried to call out to Spirit Intellect.

But she did not immediately respond.

Step!

The footsteps came to a halt.

Bystander, who was calling out to Spirit Intellect, almost collided with the girl in front of him.

Whoosh!

Cactus, standing in front of Bystander,

Unexpectedly turned around.

Her eyes gazed directly at him.

??

Her presence should be undetectable by others.

Bystander looked back.

He subconsciously thought that Cactus was looking at something behind him.

However,

There was nothing behind him.

“Wow!”

“You’re amazing!”

“I didn’t even realize there was someone standing behind me.”

Whoosh!

Bystander quickly turned his head back.

Only to see Cactus raise her arm, excitedly talking to her palm.

As if she was a madwoman.

“Just need to stretch my hand out, right?”

Putting her palm near her ear.

Cactus showed a listening expression.

She nodded, extending her arm slowly at the same time.

Seeing this action.

An intense sense of threat filled Bystander’s mind.

Although he didn’t know what she was trying to do,

He instinctively felt it wasn’t good.

He quickly reached for his waist, pulling out a handgun.

At the same time.

Her fair palm.

Slowly unfolded in front of him.

At the knuckles.

The black ring twisted like a living thing.

A one-eyed gaze opened at the end, staring at the bystander.

Inside it, filled with desire.

A strange scene.

Made the bystander’s scalp tingle.

“I’m here.”

Just at this moment.

The voice of Spirit Intellect echoed in the bystander’s mind.

“I—”

As the bystander spoke.

He stomped his foot, ready to distance himself from the cactus.

Whoosh!

Black thread cut through the air.

The sound stopped abruptly.

The consciousness in this body, quickly fading away.

An excruciating pain swept through the mind in an instant.

“Bystander?”

With a thud.

The body fell to the ground.

Spirit Intellect, who didn’t get a response, began to forcibly squeeze the consciousness of this bystander clone.

“What is…this thing?”

At the moment of occupying the consciousness.

Spirit Intellect felt something inside the bystander’s body.

That ever unchanging voice, trembled slightly.

Unfortunately,

Xiao Hei didn’t give Spirit Intellect much time.

As it entered this body, it discovered it wasn’t a real body.

This left Xiao Hei, who was originally full of anticipation, with an angry feeling of being cheated.

The next second.

Darkness swept over like a tide.

Both the consciousness of the bystander and Spirit Intellect.

Were all wiped out.

Whoosh!

The indifferent Xiao Hei returned to the knuckles of the cactus and turned into a ring again.

As for this bystander clone.

It gradually turned into flying ash.

Scattered in the corridor.

“Cough cough——”

Cactus waved her arm forcefully, trying to disperse the flying ash in front of her.

She covered her mouth and nose.

Hurry to the door of 1206.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Who is it?”

A crisp female voice came from inside.

Footsteps inside approached.

“It’s me!”

Because she covered her mouth and nose.

Cactus’s voice sounded a bit muffled.

As soon as she finished speaking.

She heard the footsteps in the room suddenly stop.

When they started again,

They were very hurried.

Bang!

The door was pulled open.

“Ah!!!!!”

An excited scream echoed in the hallway.

“Xiao Hua, you’re not dead!”

Diamond’s face was full of surprise.

“Let me in first.”

With no time to explain more.

Cactus directly stepped past Diamond and entered her home.

The door closed again.

As soon as they entered,

Diamond gripped Cactus’s shoulder.

Her eyes widened, with a hint of red in them.

“Xiao Hua, is it really you?”

“Didn’t the chairman say you were already…”

“Ouch!”

Cactus slapped her hand away, looking impatient.

“I’m not dead.”

“I just defected, that’s all.”

“Oh, only defected——Huh?”

Facing the puzzled Diamond.

Cactus didn’t bother to acknowledge.

She walked straight into the living room, casually set the breakfast on the table,

Found a chair to sit down in, and started eating a bun.

Seeing this scene.

Diamond’s doubts were gradually dispelled.

She wondered if the cactus in front of her was disguised by someone.

But this completely impolite behavior, treating someone else’s home as her own.

Well.

It must be her.

Diamond was quite familiar with Cactus.

It was her who pulled Cactus into the Godly Humans Association to find a way to solve the problem of familial genetic diseases.

The two met at the orphanage.

The story is quite cliché.

Diamond has been pretty since she was a child.

This made her very popular with teachers and the dean after she entered the orphanage.

But because of this, she was ostracized and bullied by other children.

It was Cactus who saved her.

Although, according to Cactus, she just wanted to fight someone because she was bored at the time.

Still, Diamond regarded her as her savior.

During their time in the orphanage.

Diamond became Cactus’s little sidekick.

Even though all the adults disapproved of Cactus and repeatedly warned her not to play with her.

But Diamond still saw Cactus as a big sister.

As for Cactus.

She didn’t care about anything.

Being scolded or beaten, it didn’t matter to her.

So, naturally, she didn’t care about having a little sidekick tagging along.

The two grew up together.

With Cactus’s protection, no one bullied Diamond anymore.

Until later,

Diamond was adopted by someone.

But she still kept in touch with Cactus and often used her pocket money to buy food for her.

The two grew up together.

Until today.

Although Cactus’s character was still weird.

But she had long been accustomed to the existence of Diamond by her side.

Now.

Diamond sat directly next to Cactus.

“Xiao Hua.”

“Can you tell me what happened?”

She held Cactus’s hand, looking worried.

“Did you really defect?”

“Did the other party threaten you, or——”

One question after another burst out of Diamond’s mouth.

After the initial surprise,

What followed was endless confusion.

However,

Faced with these many questions,

Cactus didn’t seem to have any plans to answer them.

She looked at this little sidekick who had been following her around since childhood.

Her mouth opened in a grin.

Revealing two rows of shiny white teeth.

Then,

Cactus extended her palm.

The black ring began to twist again.
