Chapter 155 The power of choiceAfter a while, Jiang Lan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly smiled and shook his head. Regardless of whether what Qu Tong said was true or not, becoming an immortal was too far away from him. It even made him feel unreal. To be honest, it doesn’t matter whether one can become an immortal or not, but Jiang Lan is really interested in immortality. Immortality is something that Emperor Qin Shi Huang pursued throughout his life, but he was never able to achieve it. Now that there is an opportunity, even if the hope is slim, it is impossible for Jiang Lan to say that he is not tempted at all. However, no matter how moved he was, he would not easily agree to Qu Tong for such an illusory hope. Jiang Lan knew without thinking that if it was just to get him to join the Yaoxing Society, Qu Tong would never have promised him such great benefits. If I really agree to Qu Tong, who knows what will happen next. At this moment, Jiang Lan suddenly frowned.
He thought of another thing. If Qu Tong was the person behind Ma Xianhong, then she must have had a purpose in instructing Ma Xianhong to build the Biyou Village. So, what is her purpose? Jiang Lan only thought about it for a moment, and the answer was already apparent. Slimming furnace! It wasn't until now that Jiang Lan finally figured it out. Ma Xianhong built the self-cultivation furnace, and his purpose was definitely not as simple as turning ordinary people into extraordinary people. He must have a deeper purpose. And this purpose is probably closely related to what Qu Tong mentioned before about becoming an immortal. But if you ask what the specific connection is between the two, Jiang Lan has no idea. Standing up from the bed, Jiang Lan decided not to worry about it anymore. Some things should just be left to nature. Ma Xianhong and Qu Tong can do whatever they want, it has nothing to do with him anyway. Moreover, as it stands now, it is still unknown whether Biyou Village will still exist in a few days. The first thing he had to do now was to hurry up and get Chen Duo to leave Biyou Village. The second thing is to continue waiting here to see what the situation is with these temporary workers of the company and whether they can successfully wipe out the village in the end. If I can’t… The company has already defined Ma Xianhong’s new sect. Even if the temporary workers are frustrated, the company will definitely use other methods. In short, after Biyou Village was wiped out, he went right back with them. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with him. While thinking, Jiang Lan keenly noticed that there was a sound of footsteps approaching from the entrance of the village.
Through the window, a figure in loose sportswear walked into the village. Chen Duo is back! Jiang Lan stood up from the bed and opened the door. Chen Duo was walking when she heard some noise and was startled when she saw Jiang Lan suddenly appear. "Why are you here?" Without answering Chen Duo, Jiang Lan grabbed her arm and dragged Chen Duo into the house. Chen Duo was a little confused. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Lan with confusion. After bringing Chen Duo into the house, Jiang Lan was no longer in a hurry. He pulled out a chair from the table and pressed Chen Duo on it. Then he sat down on another chair next to it, looking directly at Chen Duo. "You..." Chen Duo hesitated, "Didn't you just go back not long ago? Why are you here again?" "I came to see you." "Ah? What do you want to do with me?" "That's it..." Jiang Lan had no intention of hiding anything from Chen Duo. He told Chen Duo everything about the company's plan and the arrival of temporary workers in the village, and then continued: "That's roughly what's going on. The abilities of those temporary workers are no worse than yours. If you continue to stay here, you'll probably have to go back to the company soon. "Although no one is pursuing you now, and no one is looking for you, if Biyou Village is wiped out by the company, you will definitely be captured and taken back to the company. I can't say what will happen then." Jiang Lan was not exaggerating. Although Jiang Aimin can come forward to protect Chen Duo once, it is impossible for him to do so every time. Therefore, if Chen Duo is really arrested this time, perhaps Zhao Fangxu on the board of directors will not say anything, but the other directors may have different attitudes. To take a step back, even if everyone on the company's board of directors has no intention of pursuing Chen Duo's past, the ending that awaits Chen Duo will definitely not be good. If Chen Duo were a normal person, then everything would be easy to deal with. But the problem is that Chen Duo is not a normal person. After being transformed by the Medicine Fairy Society, Chen Duo can no longer be considered a human being. Strictly speaking, she is a Gu. The company has what is arguably the highest level of technology in the world today. But even so, they were helpless about Chen Duo's situation. There were no normal human internal organs in Chen Duo's body. All her internal organs had been replaced by poisonous insects, which were coexisting in her body in a strange way. The problem in treating Chen Duo is not the poisonous insects in her body, but how to get rid of the poisonous insects in her body and still keep Chen Duo alive. The poisonous insect is easy to deal with, but if the poisonous insect is dealt with, Chen Duo will die with it. Therefore, the disease could not be cured, and Chen Duo was unwilling to be a temporary worker. Then after being caught by the company, the only thing waiting for Chen Duo is to be imprisoned until death. As for finding other ways to properly place Chen Duo, it cannot be said to be completely impossible, but it can only be said that the hope is slim. After hearing Jiang Lan's words, Chen Duo lowered his head silently.
"Is this so..." "Chen Duo." Jiang Lan stared at Chen Duo and spoke word by word: "I came here not to force you to do anything, but to give you the power to choose." When Chen Duo heard Jiang Lan say "choose these two words", his eyes lit up instantly. He looked up at Jiang Lan and asked: “Do I have the power to choose?” "Of course." Jiang Lan said as a matter of course: "You are a human being. As long as you are a human being, you have the right to choose." For some reason, Chen Duo looked a little bit unbelievable. "Is this...?" "Do you want to hear it?" "I'll listen!" Chen Duo said firmly. “You can choose to stay here and wait for the company to destroy Biyou Village and then capture you. "Also, you can choose to come with me and leave Biyou Village. I can't take care of you forever, but it's more than enough to give you some money and let you start a new life. As for what you want to do at that time, no one will interfere with you. "Of course, the premise is that you don't join a cult again." Speaking of this, Jiang Lan curled the corners of his mouth. I don’t know whether Chen Duo is unlucky or lucky. She was said to be lucky, as she was captured by the Medicine Fairy Society when she was a baby and subjected to inhumane experiments. But if you say she is unlucky, among so many babies, the only one who survived and became a holy child with a Gu body was Chen Duo herself. And after becoming the Holy Child of Gu Body, she happened to catch up with the company that targeted the Medicine Fairy Society and rescued her from the devil's cave. (End of this chapter)
