Fully resolved

"Please... don't kill me..."

The terrifying indigo lightning flashed beneath Bai Weiwei, leaving her almost unable to speak coherently.

The fear on her face twisted under the lash of the lightning, but Bai Weiwei couldn't careless.

She pleaded almost desperately, using all her strength: "Gu Lin... please, don't kill me... Remember, the bond we shared before..."

Seeing Bai Weiwei, paralyzed by the electric shock, unable to muster any strength, Gu Lin's lips curled into a cruel smile.

There was nothing more satisfying than watching an enemy beg for mercy.

"Bai Weiwei, at this point, do you think I will still believe you?"

Unstable water currents flickered on the ground, indicating Bai Weiwei's attempt to mobilize her own abilities.

Unfortunately, Gu Lin's mastery of electric-type abilities had long reached an extraordinary level.

He left Bai Weiwei with just enough strength to speak, but as for activating her abilities?

Dream on!

In the face of Bai Weiwei's remorseful gaze, Gu Lin greatly appreciated her pale complexion.

He smiled and said, "Let me guess, you also reincarnated because..."

"That base leader killed you before he could even finish devouring my corpse, right?"

Bai Weiwei's body couldn't help but tremble.

She wanted to nod in acknowledgment, to lament about the base leader's betrayal, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She had torn apart the protection she had for herself for ten years!

How could she have the face to cry to Gu Lin about her own plight after his death?

Tears welled up in Bai Weiwei's eyes, but as soon as they touched her cheeks, the current coursing through her body made her face even more painful.

"I... I don't want to die... Gu Lin, please..."

Bai Weiwei could only plead repeatedly.

But Gu Lin remained cold and indifferent to her pleas, continuing unabated: "I think, the base leader's idea must have been, since you could betray your boyfriend who had protected you for ten years, you would eventually betray him too."

"Moreover, by killing you, there would be no one else in the world who knows the secret of the space, and he could have the space all to himself. Why would he want to share it with you?"

With a contemptuous smile, Gu Lin increased the intensity of the lightning, then stood up straight, casually adding, "Isn't it because you have a boyfriend who is a spatial ability user."

Bai Weiwei let out a painful low growl, but found that she couldn't utter a complete sentence anymore.

Her pleas of "please spare me" had turned into meaningless moans.

Gu Lin looked coldly at her suffering, and between raising his hand, a short knife suddenly appeared.

Bai Weiwei's pupils contracted. It was the dagger she had stored in the space!

It was the one she had found in the home of a wealthy young man, the one she had painstakingly stolen when no one was looking...

So, the space... was designed by Gu Lin from the beginning!

Gu Lin was naturally well aware of the meaning behind Bai Weiwei's subtle expression.

He smiled faintly as he extended the knife toward her neck and said indifferently.

"If you hadn't prepared pistols and shotguns in the space, I might have considered letting you die a little quicker."

With that, the sharp knife cut open her collar.

The tip of the blade slashed through the thin rope around Bai Weiwei's neck, and Gu Lin retrieved the knife, lifting out the pure white peace button jade pendant tied to the rope.

The carriers of spatial objects were indeed different.

Even though Bai Weiwei was already unable to speak due to the electric shock, the peace button jade pendant remained intact.

Gu Lin placed the peace button jade pendant in his palm, wearing rubber gloves, and carefully wiped it with a handkerchief.

Bai Weiwei's breath grew weaker and weaker, soon completely extinguished.

Gu Lin looked at her corpse with cold eyes, a fleeting melancholy crossing his indifferent brows and eyes.

At this moment, his grudge with Bai Weiwei was completely resolved.

However, for some reason, Gu Lin suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable melancholy in his heart.

It wasn't because he still had feelings for Bai Weiwei; perhaps he was only feeling regretful for his silent ten-year dedication in the previous life.

After wiping the peace button jade pendant clean, Gu Lin raised his hand, and Bai Weiwei's body disappeared instantly.

Although he didn't want this woman's body to dirty his space, leaving it here was obviously not a wise choice.

Gu Lin looked up at the bright moon in the sky, pursed his lips, and walked back.

With the end of the grievances, he was going to live a good life with his sister in the apocalypse.

When Gu Lin returned home, Gu Xue was still awake.

The living room was still lit with a faint yellow night light, and the slender figure of the girl lay on her side in bed, holding an orange cat in her arms.

Gu Lin's cold and hard brows softened unconsciously when he saw this scene.

He walked over quietly, seeing that Gu Xue had already fallen asleep, a hint of helplessness in the smile at the corner of his lips.

He raised his hand, and a fluffy woolen blanket appeared in it.

Gu Lin gently covered Gu Xue with the blanket and rubbed the chubby little head that suddenly opened its big eyes, making a gesture of "shh."

The chubby cat instantly turned back into a well-behaved little kitten, nestling in Gu Xue's arms like a mountain.

Gu Lin couldn't help but smile. Bai Weiwei was dead, and the tragedy of the previous life would not happen again.

He would live well with his sister... along with the share of their parents.

The next morning, Gu Xue still woke up early.

When she saw the new woolen blanket on her body, still carrying a fresh fragrance, Gu Xue sat up suddenly.

Fatty was abruptly awakened and glanced at the little master before jumping off the heated brick bed.

First, he inspected the rabbit cage, then went to his own cat bowl.

Seeing it empty, Fatty turned back to look at Gu Xue, who was still sitting on the bed, and made a sound expressing his desire for breakfast: "Meow~"

Gu Xue came to her senses, looked at the small orange cat squatting in front of the cat bowl, and smiled helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll give the master an extra meal!"

She prepared cat food and freeze-dried food, muttering to herself as she watched Fatty enjoy his meal, "He eats so much, I wonder how much fatter he'll get..."

Fatty: "Meow!"

When Gu Lin came out of his bedroom, this was the scene he saw.

Leaning against the wall in the living room, he smiled and said, "Never mind how fat Fatty will get, shouldn't we flaunt our breakfast first?"

Gu Xue turned around, somewhat surprised. "Why are you up so early today?"

Gu Lin still smiled. "In a good mood. Today, I'll go buy breakfast."

With a major problem solved and the retrieval of the space carrier, how could Gu Lin not be happy?

So, Gu Lin planned to have a more sumptuous breakfast this time.

Gu Xue naturally had no objections, just glanced at the woolen blanket on the heated brick bed in the living room and asked, "When did you come back last night?"

Gu Lin couldn't remember exactly what time he came back, so he changed the subject and said, "Is this woolen blanket warm enough?

You can take it to your room and use it as a cover, or put it under your bedsheet."

Gu Xue looked at Gu Lin suspiciously but ultimately didn't ask further questions.

She took the blanket back to her room to get ready.

Gu Lin also went to the bathroom to freshen up.

After disposing of Bai Weiwei's body yesterday, he didn't dare to come back directly.

Instead, he drove around the outskirts of the city for a while and even refueled the car on the way.

With only two days left until the advent of the apocalypse, there was still a possibility that Bai Weiwei's disappearance could be discovered.

Although Gu Lin didn't want to attract too much attention, he had to do something within a normal range to dispel suspicion.

He dared not underestimate the power of the state machinery and the police.

If he were caught just before the apocalypse... would he fight or flee?

Neither option was what he wanted. So he had to drive around a few more laps.

This extra lap indeed made Gu Lin notice something amiss.
