Chapter 138 Frankness
Especially using him to threaten her.

Anubis would never allow this to happen.

In fact, when Anubis just left the Interstellar Strategic Academy, he keenly noticed that someone was following him. At first he guessed that the scavenger had found him, but he soon discovered that the person was not the scavenger.

He had fought with the scavengers several times and was very familiar with their style of doing things. Every member of that organization was well-trained and decisive in killing. Once they targeted him, they would never give him any chance to survive. But now, the person who had been following him did not move after he tried to expose the part of his body that could be killed with one blow.

So Anubis pretended not to notice and led people to a deserted path.

As expected, the other party took action. They tried to shoot an anesthetic needle with a flying gun to make him lose consciousness.

But Anubis was deliberately arranged by his father to receive various drug training since he was a child, so he can remain awake under anesthesia and recover his body functions in a shorter time than ordinary orcs.

He fell down, seemingly letting others do what they wanted, but in fact he was secretly listening to their every move. Until he heard a female voice. Anubis could no longer use himself as bait to find out what these people were up to, and he would not allow himself to be used as a handle for others to threaten her.

At this time, Anubis' hand had already pierced through Wei Shou's chest.

Wei Shou suddenly opened his eyes wide, fell to his knees with a thump, opened his mouth to say something, but spat out a mouthful of blood, and then died.

Anubis, standing opposite Qiao Suisui, held a still beating heart in his hand.

His hands were covered in blood, his sharp nails slowly retracted, and a heavy heart was thrown next to Wei Shou's body.

The darkness gradually receded like the tide, and Anubis walked towards Qiao Suisui, but stopped a few steps away from her and hid the bloody hand behind his back.

The young man who was bloodthirsty and killing crazily in the last second was visibly nervous in this second.

Anubis looked at the girl in front of him. She looked different from the last time they met. Her long hair was draped behind her back as smooth as silk, with a few strands running unruly to her thin shoulders. Her face was only the size of a palm, with delicate features and fair and translucent skin. At this moment, it was not known whether she was frightened or cold, but the tip of her nose and cheeks were a little flushed, like a ripe peach, so juicy that people would have wild thoughts if they looked at her for a second longer.

"I... I scared you." Anubis was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

In fact, the blush on Qiao Susu's face was because she didn't know where to look.

When Anubis just broke free from the chair in the van, his shirt was torn. After another fight, he was now upper body naked, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and obvious abdominal muscles. There were a few streaks of blood on his chest and face, which made his inverted triangle figure suddenly become sexy in a different way.

She forced herself to come back to her senses, glanced away, and said seriously: "It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's go somewhere else."

Little did he know that this kind of hypocrisy was seen by Anubis as a confirmation of his wild thoughts.

She saw me kill someone.

I am done.

She was colder to me than before.

The young man lowered his head, hummed dejectedly, and followed Qiao Susu silently, like a stray dog ​​on the roadside who wanted to go home after being fed.

The two men walked down the embankment and hid in a bridge hole.

There is a rushing river under the bridge, and the flow is very fast. Combined with the bracket-arch architecture, the sound of flowing water echoes throughout the bridge arch.

Anubis washed his hands with the river water, and the bright red blood smeared in the rushing water and then went away.

After taking care of himself, he didn't dare to approach Qiao Susu again, but sat on the ground five steps away from her.

"The scavengers will most likely find me soon. It's dangerous for you to stay with me." Anubis's voice was low and drowned out by the amplified sound of water, making it difficult for Qiao Susu to hear clearly.

She simply stood up, walked to his side and squatted, tilted her head to look at him and asked, "What did you say?"

The scent of lily of the valley suddenly hit Anubis's face, causing his heart to skip a beat. His Adam's apple rolled, and he looked at the person in front of him, his breathing tightened a little. "I said, you'll be in danger if you stay with me."

"I'm not afraid of danger."

The young man was startled when he saw his own image reflected in her obsidian eyes. The emotions he had been trying so hard to suppress for a long time could no longer be suppressed.

His eyelashes trembled like the fluttering wings of a butterfly. After taking a few deep breaths, Anubis struggled to speak:
"Joe, my father is a rebel. I am someone who cannot stand in the light. I lied to you." I am not worthy of standing by your side.

He left the last word unsaid.

He knew that she was not his moon, but there were always a few moments when the moonlight did shine on him.

He didn't want much, just to see her true self was enough. They were on two different paths, and he couldn't selfishly let her accompany him to take the most adventurous path. What's more, there were so many outstanding people around her...

Anubis' mouth was filled with bitterness, his heart ached, and he opened his mouth but could not utter anything.

"I know."

This crisp sentence stunned the young man.

Qiao Susu looked at his rare dazed look and chuckled.

"I also know that your name is Anubis Connor and your father is a good man."

Instantly, Anubis' eyes were filled with bitterness. He was speechless, and only the surging love in his heart was left, like the rushing river beside the two of them, rushing through his heart.

"Since we agreed to tell the truth last time, I will tell you my secret too." Qiao Suisui leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I don't belong here."

Anubis asked, "What do you mean?"

Qiao Suisui said: "I come from another world."

Anubis already knew her identity as an ancient human, but he had never seen her appearance. At this moment, he thought that the other world she was talking about was the world of ancient humans, so he nodded and said, "I know. I will protect you."

You still don't know, Qiao Suisui said in her heart.

The two of them sat side by side on the ground, with the backs of their hands touching each other. Inadvertently, they slightly touched each other, and both of them looked away at the same time as if they had received an electric shock, but their hands did not move at all.

Although the sound of water filled the entire bridge tunnel, they could still hear their own heartbeats.

Anubis turned his head back first, looked at Qiao Suisui carefully, and said "thank you" to her. His voice trembled slightly because it was too sincere.

Qiao Suisui also looked at him, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for believing that my father is a good man." His eyes were slightly red.

"You didn't get twisted while growing up with stigma, but grew wildly among the thorns. You are the best proof of your father."

When Qiao Susu thought of the man who was the only one on the deserted island who did not eat his companions despite being hungry, and who survived the adversity by carrying his brothers on his back, she felt nothing but infinite admiration for him.

She placed her hand in Anubis's palm and interlocked her fingers with his, conveying an extremely firm strength.

"Let's go to the southern battlefield and find out the truth of what happened back then, and give justice to you, your father, and those who were wrongly accused and sacrificed for no reason."
