You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 144 - 137: Shared Sorrow through the Ages of Dust
Shen Mochen stared blankly at the girl on the hospital bed, as if she really had died, her warmth no longer there, even the scent of roses that emanated from her body seemed to have dissipated.
He finally understood the meaning of "fragrance faded, jade perished."
So, her last return wasn’t a random fit of madness, but a farewell.
"You motherfucker, sleep with me and then run away," Shen Mochen said.
He missed terribly the slums where daylight was never seen, the stench of sewage from unknown sources, the streets strewn with household waste and flowing juice. Walking two hours to and from school each day, facing a bunch of teachers who had no interest in teaching and were only in it for the salary, dealing with those uncontrollable and unrestrained classmates living in the moment...
He longed for that place, for that time when they were all still there.
He was filled with regret.
He remembered how he had stolen someone’s wallet as a child and had his leg broken by the owner. Lying on the ground, howling in pain, Yin Caiyu and Yin Huailian took out all of their savings, taking turns carrying him to the hospital, only to kneel and beg the doctors for a delay when the money wasn’t enough.
He stole the money to buy Yin Caiyu a birthday gift; he always saw her lingering longingly in front of a white silk scarf. But even with his leg broken, he didn’t regret stealing; instead, he only regretted not being discreet enough, getting caught red-handed.
But when the Yin sisters knelt and implored the doctor to treat him, Shen Mochen truly regretted it. He regretted stealing, regretted letting them be humbled to dust because of him.
He was always like that, regretting after the fact; utterly pointless.
But now there would be no more regrets, because they were no longer in this world.
The living are passersby, the dead are homegoers. A traveler against the world, together mourning the eternal dust.
...
"If General Yin is so important, isn’t there anyone in the world who can cure her, those male Superpower Users... the country should take care of it, right? There are boys in the Buque Team too!"
Outside the hospital room, Cai Yuncui was still not giving up, asking Du Ziqi.
Du Ziqi smiled faintly, "You know, the chance of a boy awakening a Superpower is only one-tenth that of a girl’s, they are rare to begin with. And... do you know the male to female ratio in the Buque Team?"
"How much is it?"
"1 to 67, the data from last December," Du Ziqi said leisurely.
"How could it be so few..." Cai Yuncui was stunned.
"That number is already quite high. The smallest ratio since records began is over 1 to 100," Du Ziqi said, "You know, male Superpower Users are not required to enlist."
"I know, because they all have support Superpowers, it’s easy for them to face danger on the battlefield, they don’t have much capacity for self-protection, so..."
Du Ziqi smiled mysteriously, clucking his tongue twice, "Someone really believes that, huh… Do you know where all those non-enlisted male Superpower Users go?"
Cai Yuncui shook her head blankly.
Du Ziqi grinned, showing a hint of scornful smile, "They get secretly recruited by Families, the powerful, the tycoons. You know, all boys have support Superpowers, but these support Superpowers also work on ordinary people... With these Superpower Users, they can manage their industries with more energy, socialize and exercise with superhuman bodies, have more time to freely allocate, no longer worry about most illnesses, and as long as it’s not a direct death, they can have a high likelihood of surviving even attempts on their life..."
Cai Yuncui opened her mouth, silent, not knowing what to say.
"Many boys as soon as they awaken their Superpowers, will be immediately lured by the old masters with various means, then taken under their control; if any boy suggests that he wants to apply for the Buque due to his newly awakened Superpower, all his information will be leaked out in the next second... To talk about protecting them, as if the old masters care about that, they are only concerned if these boys can serve them.
Seeing the inexplicable look on Cai Yuncui’s face, Du Ziqi realized he might have said too much, it seemed improper to disclose so much, so he forcibly diverted the topic again, "Of course, with General Yin’s distinguished status, the state will naturally try every possible way to cure her. But she’s not injured, she’s dead, even the strongest Superpower Users can’t bring people back to life, understand?"
While speaking, the door of the hospital room suddenly opened, and a lifeless face came out.
"Xiao Chen..."
Cai Yuncui hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Shen Mochen ignored her, just looked up expressionlessly at Du Ziqi, "Today is my birthday."
"Happy birth..."
Du Ziqi unconsciously began to wish him well, but fortunately, he swallowed back the word "day". Under such circumstances, wishing someone a happy birthday would seem more like a sarcastic mockery, definitely a reason to get hit.
"Where are her teammates? She said they would wake up too," Shen Mochen said.

Du Ziqi paused for a moment before realizing whom Shen Mochen was talking about, "I’m sorry... I can’t disclose that."
Shen Mochen laughed inexplicably, nodded, "I got it."
With that, Shen Mochen turned and left.
"Xiao Chen, where are you going!" Cai Yuncui asked.
"To the bathroom," Shen Mochen said.
"But there’s a bathroom in the ward..." As Cai Yuncui spoke, something clicked, and she promptly followed him swiftly, holding Shen Mochen tightly from behind, voice laced with tears, "Xiao Chen, don’t think of doing anything foolish! Caiyu wants you to live well, she fought so hard to protect this world, and it was all to protect you, if you die, her sacrifice would be in vain!"
Cai Yuncui saw through Shen Mochen’s suicidal intent, and his expression changed as he struggled, "Let go! Release me!"
But Cai Yuncui, being a Superpower User, could resist his strength easily as long as she used her Superpower a bit. Thus, no matter how much Shen Mochen struggled, he could not break free.
Seeing no escape, Shen Mochen leaned down and bit Cai Yuncui’s hand forcefully. Unprepared for the pain, she loosened her grip, and Shen Mochen took the opportunity to break away and run towards the window outside.
Cai Yuncui cried out in shock; this was the seventh floor. If he truly jumped, it would be very difficult to survive. So she chased after Shen Mochen with all her might, grabbing his clothes to stop him. Shen Mochen turned back in a rage, clutched her fiercely, and pinched hard.
Due to the Alien encounter before, Cai Yuncui’s clothes were all torn, now wearing only a set of patient clothes with no protection, she was immediately pinched until tears sprang out.

But even so, she didn’t let go again, tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, listen to me... Caiyu still has a chance... I’ve brought an Amplifier..."
