Chapter 7

Li Yexing returned to his own little nest, closed the door, and then looked at the silver-haired girl sitting on the sofa, swaying her body like a pendulum. He threw the bags he was carrying onto the sofa.

"Try it on and see if it fits."

The girl opened the package, which contained various types of clothing.

"For me?" The girl turned her head and asked expressionlessly. There seemed to be a glint in her bright red eyes.

"Hurry up and put them on. Don't tell me, you wouldn't even know how to dress, would you?" Li Yexing didn't look at the girl.

He just casually took off his own coat and hung it on the hanger. Perhaps with Li Yexing's tacit approval, the girl took off Li Yexing's dirty coat and put on the clothes from the package one by one. In a moment, the rustling sound came to an end, and the girl said to Li Yexing, "I'm done dressing up."

Li Yexing turned his head and saw that the girl had completely transformed her appearance. She was now wearing a white shirt with red Russian letters on it, and a black motorcycle-style jacket with a flaxen collar on top. She wore black ultra-short shorts with a locking buckle, and black over-the-knee socks on her fair, long legs, with flaxen short boots on her feet.

The size looks fine, but this outfit… Li Yexing knew that his taste in clothes was terrible, and if he followed the idea of his other self, girls should naturally wear as little clothing as possible, which was inappropriate.

"Go look in the mirror and see if it fits." Li Yexing didn't say much, he just wanted the girl to see if she liked the clothes or not, but the girl shook her head. "No need to look, it must be very beautiful."

"Why?" A ripple stirred in Li Yexing's heart, a warm current flowing through it.

"Because the food you made was very delicious, so the clothes you sent must be very beautiful." The girl answered seriously.

The warm current in Li Yexing's heart instantly turned into Siberian cold air. God knows what he was expecting.

Not paying attention to Li Yexing's changing expression, the girl opened her arms and spun around in place, humming a strange tune in her mouth: "New clothes, new clothes..." She seemed quite happy.

"By the way, Tililith, what kind of clothes did you wear before?" Curious about the seemingly happy girl, Li Yexing asked.

"I usually don't wear clothes, occasionally I wear a white dress."

"A white dress?"

"Yeah, a thin white dress that sticks to my body. They tie me up with chains and give me anesthesia, and then the fathers will watch me through thick glass."

"Fathers?" Li Yexing frowned.

"Mr. Freeman says they're all my fathers, but I don't like them. They look strange. Miss Kelly doesn't like them either and says bad things about them to me. They don't cook me delicious food or buy me new clothes to wear." The silver-haired girl said expressionlessly, "You're really good to me, even Miss Kelly hasn't been this good to me. I like you."

Li Yexing covered his face and turned his head to avoid the girl's gaze. He thought to himself, what's wrong with this girl? She's too cute! I'm embarrassed!

"What's wrong? Are you upset?" Seeing that Li Yexing didn't answer, the girl leaned in and asked, then looked a little disappointed, "Or do you not like me?"

Li Yexing blushed and didn't look at the girl who had leaned in. He just reached out and pat the girl's head and said, "If I buy you some clothes and treat you to a meal, you will like me? You're so naive, aren't you afraid of being kidnapped?"

"I won't..." The girl closed her eyes and rubbed her head against Li Yexing's hand like a kitten. "Mr. Freeman told the fathers that my arm strength exceeds ten tons, and killing someone is as easy as tearing a piece of cloth. Everyone is afraid of me."

It really is a frightening statement, talking about killing people like tearing apart a rag doll. But to say that her arm strength exceeds ten tons? Li Yexing looked at the girl's thin arms and legs, his face full of disbelief. As a B.O.W., it is possible to have great strength, but to have an arm strength of over ten tons is a bit far-fetched, and...

"What's the use of just having great strength? These days, bad guys all have guns, and even grenade launchers and RPGs." Li Yexing said, patting the Kevlar on his waist.

"I'm not afraid." The girl shook her head.

"Before, in the white house, they would inject me with anesthesia and then tie me to the wall and shoot me with a gun. At first, it was a pistol, but later I didn't recognize the guns they used. One time they used that gun that spins very fast and shot me for a long time, it hurt a lot, and I thought I would die. But then the wounds healed quickly, and after that, they often used that gun that spins very fast to shoot me. At first, it hurt a lot, but later on, I got used to it."

The gun that spins very fast? Could it be a machine gun? If what this girl is saying is true, then... what kind of depraved researcher could tie such a slender girl to the wall and shoot her with a heavy machine gun? No wonder this girl said I was good to her. What has she been through before this?

Even if his body's original memories have affected him somewhat, Li Yexing's soul is still that of an ordinary laborer guy from beautiful and peaceful China. He began to waver, if this girl is returned to his employer, what kind of life awaits her?

Confined to a cold laboratory without seeing sunlight, barely clothed, and eating nutrient paste that can hardly be called food. Having become accustomed to the pain caused by being shot with a machine gun, what kind of weapon will be used against her next? This girl seems to have a lot of basic knowledge, but her perception of the world is very twisted. What has her researcher instilled in her? Should he really return this girl?

Dammit! I can't believe I'm starting to think about these kinds of questions. Li Yexing's expression grew even darker, and he even began to wonder if his soul had really transmigrated into this otherworldly body.

Since when the Li Yexing from this world who has the memory of being a mercenary has become so nagging? Shouldn't he the mercenary Li Yexing cold-blooded and ruthless? Or has the heartless mercenary Li Yexing acquired a sense of morality?

It wasn't until the girl pulled at his clothes that he snapped out of his thoughts.

"Are you angry?" the girl asked, tilting her head.

"No, I'm just thinking..." Li Yexing shook his head. The girl didn't say anything else, she just paused for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the hand Li Yexing had placed on her head and gently placed it on her chest.

"You'll feel better this way," the girl said. "Every time I get shot and lie in bed, Miss Kelly grabs my hand like this and says it won't hurt anymore, and I'll feel better. I haven't told Miss Kelly that it still hurts a lot, but my mood really does improve."

Holding Li Yexing's hand, the girl said softly, "I like you, so I hope you can be happy."

Li Yexing was stunned.

What was this? Has he been comforted by a monster girl who can lift ten tons and eat several pounds of bullets?

At that moment, Li Yexing's thoughts changed. He didn't plan to give this girl up!

That night, the security forces of the convoy were all wiped out, and Freeman probably didn't survive rolling down the cliff. BSAA was firing at the tyrant and nobody noticed that he took the girl away.

If the employer investigates, just say the mission failed and they escaped, and that BSAA took the stuff. If the employer is not satisfied with the results and wants to make a fuss, sorry, this is Roples, a haven for villains, an illegal research institute somewhere unknown is not qualified to stir up trouble in this shithole.

As for BSAA, they have already achieved what they wanted, haven't they? The convoy's transport target was two tyrants, and after a bloody battle, BSAA finally killed the terrifying B.O.W., nipping the new bio-terrorism in the bud.

Even if they noticed that the third truck was empty, they would never think that someone took the target right under their noses. After all, the first two trucks were both tyrants, and they would assume that the third truck was also a big guy.

Therefore, they would rather believe that the truck was empty! In this way, although he earned less than a few hundred thousand dollars, money can always be earned again.

But a silver-haired and red-eyed beauty who survived the special attack will not come around every day. In conclusion, except for the barbaric and idiotic research institute that lost valuable goods, everyone else got what they wanted.

Hooray!

He made a decision.

"Lilith..." Li Yexing pulled his hand out of the girl's arms and solemnly placed it on her shoulder, looking into her ruby-like eyes. "My name is Li Yexing, I am a mercenary. My job is to shoot people without question right or wrong, but at this moment, I hope I can bring something to you. I hope you can live happily from now on. I don't want to send you back to where you were before. I want you to be with me. From now on, whenever we are at home, I will cook for you, buy clothes for you, and earn money to support you. Do you… want to be with me?"

"Lilith, Li Yexing, Lilith, Li Yexing..."

The girl with serious eyes, gazing at Li Yexing, whispered the two names as she spoke: "Lilith likes Li Yexing, Lilith doesn't want to go back and wants to be with Li Yexing."

For some reason, when Li Yexing heard Tililith's response, he felt relieved, as if confessing to a girl he liked on the rooftop and the other person responded with joy, saying "I do."

Li Yexing's face bloomed with his first smile since arriving in Resident Evil's world.

The silver-haired girl also seemed pleased, feeling that her comforting skill had worked. She tugged on Li Yexing's sleeve and invited him to dinner, saying, "Then, Li Yexing, let's have dinner..."

"Let's cook dinner first. Tonight, we'll have beers and chicken wings!"

They put the rice in the pot, thawed the chicken wings in a metal bowl filled with water from the fridge, and took out two cans of beer. After heating up the oil in the pan, they cracked two eggs into it, added some chopped tomatoes, and in no time, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of the cooking food. Tililith stood at the kitchen door, watching Li Yexing's swift and smooth movements, inhaling the delicious scent in the air, her red eyes widening.

"Li Yexing, you're so amazing..."

Hearing the girl's praise, Li Yexing smiled happily.

Ah, from now on, I'm not alone anymore.

-------------------------------

In a dimly lit small room, a woman in a white coat quietly gazed at the screen of her laptop. The small red dot on the screen flickered on and off as the map zoomed in. Finally, the map stopped moving, and a line of letters popped up, "Target Locked: Edonia, Roples."

The woman closed her laptop and the light reflecting in her eyes went out with it.

"I found you." She muttered to herself.
