Chapter 187 There is no need for these secrets between us
"Yes." Mu Xin smiled bitterly. "That man's family was well-off, and he did everything he could to gain that man's love, because that way he could get in touch with a higher power center. After countless intrigues, a group of people came to a place where they could settle down, and the boy's lover looked down on him more and more. The boy knew that his lover was no longer the same lover as before, and he became disheartened and began to choose to stay away from them. Out of sight, out of mind, right?"
Yan Shaohui just looked at Mu Xin like that, but for some reason he felt a little distressed in his heart.
"But that person regarded the boy as a thorn in his side. Finally, after the boy's lover became the helmsman of the base, they used a trick to lock the boy up in an underground laboratory and let others use him for human experiments. Since then, the boy has lived a life worse than death without sunlight. The boy begged, cried, and wailed, and even asked those cold-blooded experimenters to kill him, but no one answered him, not a single person."
Mu Xin's tone was flat, as if he was telling a very boring story. Only when he came to the part about 'human experiments', Yan Shaohui noticed that Mu Xin began to tremble. This was a tremor that came from deep within his heart, an instinctive fear and panic that penetrated into his bones and could not be removed.
"Stop talking, okay? Xiaoxin?" Yan Shaohui hugged Muxin, feeling heartbroken beyond words.
He keenly felt that Mu Xin was telling his own story, and that young man was himself.
"Let me finish." Mu Xin smiled sadly at Yan Shaohui, "I haven't told a story to anyone for a long time. Can you let me finish it?"
"……it is good."
Yan Shaohui finally compromised.
Mu Xin continued to talk. He only said a few words to the experimenters in the laboratory about what they did to him at that time. However, looking at Mu Xin's wooden and expressionless look, Yan Shaohui only needed to think about it to know how thrilling the scene was at that time.
"The boy's usefulness was finally exhausted, and his lover chose to send him away with a dose of poison, ending his short life of pain, humiliation and sorrow."
After Mu Xin finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and a light finally appeared in his eyes. It was as if the dust that had been accumulating for many years was swept away in one day, and he felt particularly refreshed.
"That boy, is that you?"
"You guessed right," Mu Xin smiled frankly, "I died because of Ming Xiche. I came back to life because of Ming Xiche. In the final analysis, I have to thank him for the poison he gave me. Otherwise, how could I be liberated and reborn?"
"So, you are really reborn?" Yan Shaohui finally grasped the point. He held Mu Xin's slender fingers, and the thin calluses on his fingers due to years of martial arts practice made Yan Shaohui feel distressed.
"Of course." Mu Xin smiled. All the burdens in his heart were lifted, and Mu Xin had never felt so relaxed.
In fact, thinking back on some of the things that happened in the past, Mu Xin did play the role of a 'prophet'.
Because Mu Xin has the memories of his previous life, it is easy to explain how he knew things that no one had ever known.
The blood-sucking grass, the zombie crows, the crystal cores in the zombies' brains...all of these became well known to people due to Mu Xin's intentional or unintentional reminders.
Thinking in this way, Yan Shaohui found it easier to accept the fact that Mu Xin was reborn.
"When were you reborn?" Yan Shaohui's mind was full of thoughts, but he did not forget to ask Mu Xin some questions.
"One month before the end of the world." Mu Xin was still wondering why Yan Shaohui was so calm after knowing his secret. He didn't even react at all! It was totally unreasonable!
Yan Shaohui suddenly realized. No wonder Mu Xin had stored so much food in the kitchen of the old house. It turned out that he had started preparing it long ago!
Yan Shaohui lowered his head and saw the couple pendant he and Mu Xin had. He thought of the jade pendant that Mu Xin had always worn around his neck. "You didn't give the Horcrux away again, right?"
"Yes, I didn't give it away. I have been keeping it myself all this time." Mu Xin took out the pendant from his collar, and the emerald green luster rippled out layers of ripples. "This is it."
"I also said that I had a weak physique in my previous life. After my rebirth, I didn't want to live under someone else's roof, so I used the spiritual spring in the Horcrux to transform my body. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to obtain the dual powers of ice and darkness, and my internal strength also improved." Mu Xin said again.
"Is that spiritual spring water the recovery potion that you gave Shan Lang to drink?" Yan Shaohui raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I actually considered not taking it out at that time, because then my secret would be exposed. But the situation forced me to take the risk of exposing my secret and choose to use the spiritual spring water." Mu Xin shrugged, "Later, the bottle of spiritual spring water was lost, and I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by Qi Shanlang."
"If Shanlang hadn't come to return the bottle, were you still planning to keep it a secret from me?" Yan Shaohui looked at Mu Xin dangerously.
Mu Xin laughed awkwardly, his eyes dodging, "Um... um."
Yan Shaohui snorted coldly, "Do you think I will do anything to you?"
Mu Xin touched his nose, "I think you'll think I'm a monster or something."
Yan Shaohui laughed, "Why do you think so?"
Mu Xin blinked, "Don't you think this is very mysterious? Traveling through time and space or something like that."
"Silly boy, we have experienced so many mysterious things now, which one is not more mysterious than traveling through time and space and coming back from the dead?"
Mu Xin rubbed left and right in Yan Shaohui's arms like a little animal eagerly seeking comfort, which made Yan Shaohui's heart soften.
He ruffled Mu Xin's hair and said lovingly, "Don't hide this kind of thing from me anymore, okay? There's no need for these secrets between us."
Mu Xin pouted and leaned on Yan Shaohui's shoulder, "This is called - love brings sorrow, love brings fear."
Yan Shaohui sneered, "Yeah, if you didn't care about my opinion, why would you go to so much trouble to hide it?"
Mu Xin poked Yan Shaohui's chest, "It's good that you know."
