[Name: Chen Duo. Is this person an Outsider? Yes]

Let Chen Duo out?

Liao,

are you serious?

According to these documents,

the Poison Girl has not been cured.

What if we allowed her limited access

to the normal world

under surveillance?

We've tested Chen Duo.

After this period of training,

her control has greatly improved.

She can now

fully manage

the poison within her,

and with the protection suit,

the risks are completely controllable.

Liao Zhong.

Let me be clear.

She's not yet cured,

and even if she were,

this isn't something we can easily agree on.

She's not like the Body of Disruption and other cases we've dealt with.

We've been involved in every step

of her rebirth.

To put it bluntly,

her life belongs to the company.

Now,

are we really going to continue wasting resources on her

just to cater to her personal feelings?

Do you even know whose money we're spending here?

I'm not denying

the Poison Girl's innocence,

but

do you really think she deserves

this unnecessary expense?

Liao,

I see where you're coming from.

But this time,

I'm on Mr. Bi's side.

We're not a charity

and what we need is stability.

Of course, I admit

that sometimes,

there's just nothing we can do to help.

I know that Chen Duo's current situation

doesn't entitle her to these privileges,

but what if she

could contribute

to our cause?

Her abilities are documented in her file.

The person currently working under me

is in poor health

and has been wanting to step down.

What if the replacement is someone

who has mastered the poison technique?

I understand that Chen Duo is a special case,

which is why I've come to the board

to seek everyone's approval.

If the Saint Poison Girl

could become the next temporary worker,

do you think

the investment would be worth it?

We need

to give this

more thought.

We've reached a conclusion, Liao.

You can proceed.

But

you'll be fully accountable.

How you handle security matters

is up to you,

but necessary precautions must be taken.

Once this collar

is on, it can never be removed.

If the Poison Girl shows any signs of losing control,

eliminate her.

Ultimately, you must understand

that even if she wears the same clothes,

she is not

one of us.

Chen Duo,

I've gotten you

the freedom you asked for.

Due to the uncontrollable nature of Chen Duo's poison,

she must wear this collar,

which can be detonated at any time,

as a necessary safety measure when she goes out

on missions.

Mr. Liao.

Thank you.

[Name: Chen Duo. Age: 20 years old]

[Position: the temporary worker of Lunan Region]

Your mission is simple.

Find the person on the list

and take him down.

Mission accomplished.

Leave the rest to us.

During the mission,

you must strictly follow

our designated route.

Stay safe.

If any danger arises,

retreat immediately.

Most importantly,

do not engage with anyone unrelated to the mission.

Trust no one.

Understood?

Mr. Liao,

mission accomplished.

Liao,

there are some things I'd like to talk to you about.

What's wrong?

The data from this kid's recent missions

has been incredibly stable.

Isn't that a good thing?

No.

I mean, she's too stable.

Since her first mission,

her heart rate has never exceeded 75 bpm.

We've been amazed

by her incredible learning ability

these past few years,

but we've overlooked

her nature as a normal person.

A normal person needs

a relatively normal environment to learn.

Do you think this Bunker

is normal?

You and I both know

that what she truly wants

is probably to live like a normal person.

I'll take care of the risk control.

Or do you have a better solution?

The board is very pleased with her efficiency.

Stopping now

wouldn't be good for anyone.

Mission accomplished.

Mr. Liao,

the protective suit

is torn.

There's no one around, right?

Sir,

wear a protective suit.

Go mark the quarantine area.

Go mark the quarantine area!

♪Her descent to the land is like the cries of a newborn♪

Chen Duo.

♪The slowly melting icicles♪

♪Erasing hope more completely♪

♪I can speak, yet I must remain silent♪

♪I am able to act, but I cannot do it♪

Mr. Liao,

no need to examine that cat anymore.

It's not that it's immune.

It's just that I didn't release the poison.

My poison technique

seems to have advanced lately.

I can now suppress the poison

in a short time.

Really?

That's great news.

Chen Duo,

I know you want

to live a normal life,

just like Chen Junyan and the Big Monster.

No need to rush. Take it one step at a time.

Look.

Things are heading in a positive direction, aren't they?

Not at all!

Do you realize

how much harm

it would do to her body

if she keeps the poison

suppressed like this?

If she reaches a point where she can't control it anymore,

it'll be dangerous.

This is like gambling with her life.

We must stop this right now.

If all she wanted was to leave the Bunker,

she didn't need to do all this.

This child is risking her life for us,

making herself harmless.

She's not good at expressing herself,

but I think she understands.

She knows

this is her only way to connect

with the normal world right now.

We should honor her determination.

Liao,

I'm a bit concerned.

I'm worried that we might have gotten it wrong from the start.

Do you remember

when we first brought her out of the Bunker

and into normal society?

Her data didn't show

a single abnormal fluctuation.

Maybe

she doesn't care

about living like a normal human at all.

She

doesn't seem to care about anything.

You're just overthinking it.

If she truly didn't care,

why would she risk her life

just to prevent the poison from spreading?

The latest mission

involves a target

responsible for the deaths of eleven people,

including seven ordinary people

and four employees sent by the company to search for her.

The target is extremely dangerous.

This person is quick to escape.

Go ahead and take action.

This area is uninhabited.

Bring the target back to the company,

regardless of whether she's alive or dead.

Chief... Chief Ma.

Who did this to you?

Chief Ma,

help me.

You stole my magic weapon

and wreaked havoc out there,

and now you're asking me to help you?

I admit my fault, Chief Ma.

Help me.

Help me.

The ghost...

The ghost is here!

You did this on your own?

Not bad.

Never mind.

She brought it upon herself anyway.

Please leave her here.

Come on, cut me some slack.

She committed a wrongdoing,

and I need to bring her back for questioning.

Sir,

the tracker on Chen Duo shows

irregular movements within a limited area.

It's not a pursuit.

It's a fight.

Chen Duo.

The target has accomplices.

There are three of them.

Three?

What's the situation?

Can you handle it?

Don't push yourself too hard.

No,

they're impressive.

The opponents

are using techniques I've never seen before.

Chen Duo, listen to me.

Retreat for now.

I'll come to assist you immediately.

Hang in there, Chen Duo.

Hang in there.

Chen Duo.

Chen Duo, answer me.

Chen Duo, answer me.

Sir,

it's disappeared.

Chen Duo's tracker can no longer be detected.

How is that possible?

The tracker is implanted in her body.

It shouldn't disappear, even if she's taken down.

Not unless she vanished into thin air.

She's a tough one to handle.

What's her trick?

She's a poisoner,

no doubt about it.

But it's quite unusual

for someone her age

to be at the grandmaster level.

Chen Duo!

Chen Duo!

Chen Duo!

Chen Duo!

Chen Duo!

You were the one who put the collar on her,

and the controller is in your hands.

Now, you can end this yourself.

I'll give you seventy-two hours.

If Chen Duo's exact location

isn't found within that time,

you know what to do.

If you can't make the decision by then,

we'll handle it for you.

You're awake.

Wait.

Your skills are certainly impressive,

but there's no need for you to target me.

I won't make things hard for you.

This is your work, huh?

She died before making it here.

What exactly is the source of your power?

I've examined you,

but I've never seen anything like this.

Mission

accomplished.

No matter what she did wrong,

she's still a person,

a life.

She died at your hands.

Is this your only reaction?

I must accomplish every mission

that Mr. Liao assigns to me.

He says she has done too much evil

and deserves to die.

You...

Forget it.

She's already dead.

No point in saying anything more.

I'll get you something to eat.

The doctor in the village has checked

and said it's probably not contagious.

But just to be safe,

perhaps we should learn more about her.

Is that so?

What a pity.

She might have already left.

Why is she still here?

Where's the food?

Chief Ma,

how about

I ask Fu Rong to set up two more tables?

Even though that person brought this upon herself,

she was still my companion.

You've taken her out,

and now you're expecting me to drink with you

and hold a farewell party?

We've cleared everything up.

I won't make things difficult for you.

You can leave now.

Leave?

Where to?

Is she trying to blackmail me?

Someone will come to pick me up.

Are you looking for the communicator?

It broke during our fight.

Also,

I found a tracker on you,

removed it,

and destroyed it.

Sorry,

but no one's coming to pick you up.

I'll take you to the village entrance.

Chief Ma.

[Biyou Village]

This road will lead you out of the village.

I won't be seeing you off.

Have a safe trip.

Huang, come here.

Where should I go?

Go wherever you want.

It's your freedom.

No one can stop you.

Freedom.

[Biyou Village]

Chief Ma.

I'm actually a bit curious about you now.

Could you tell me more about yourself?

You mean,

myself?

This is the collar you've been wearing all this time.

You're lucky.

Not many people can take it off.

While you were unconscious,

I examined it

and made a switch.

Want to see the power of this thing?

This

is what they've left on you.

If you have nowhere else to go,

you can stay in the village.

I've studied your condition,

and if I can complete my invention,

there's a chance I could cure you.

Can I

do that?

It's not about whether you can or can't,

it's whether you want to.

But

it's not convenient for me to stay elsewhere.

I'm aware of that.

I can create an environment

that's suitable for you to live in.

Just tell me

if you still want to go back

to that Bunker.

Don't stress about the rest.

It's all about what you want.

I don't want to go back,

but I'd like to see Mr. Liao one more time.

He's always

had my best interests at heart.

He researched you

and trained you to kill,

yet you still think he has your best interests at heart?

Can you help me put it back on?

I really have no idea what you're thinking.

I don't know either,

which is why I want to go and find out.

Hello.

Chen Duo,

where are you?

Not far at all.

I'll be there soon.

You went alone?

Didn't you bring anyone with you?

I'm the closest to Chen Duo,

so I went ahead.

I've informed the others as well,

so don't worry. Everything is under control.

Turn on the receiver

so we can stay updated.

Send me the location.

Those who took Chen Duo

don't seem to want any trouble.

They brought her back

after clarifying the situation.

Chen Duo!

Chen Duo!

Chen Duo!

Chen Duo.

Chen Duo!

Mr. Liao.

Chen Duo!

Are you all right?

Did those people give you a hard time?

No.

Good, that's a relief.

You gave me quite a scare.

You were right to choose this place to meet.

From now on, always inform me

about any issues you encounter.

Tell me what those people did to you

on the way back.

I won't let them get away with it.

Let's go.

Chen Duo.

Let's go.

Mr. Liao,

is it all right

if I don't go back?

Mr. Liao,

is it all right

if I don't go back?

Silly girl,

what are you talking about?

I'm here to pick you up.

Come with me.

Mr. Liao.

Come with me!

Let's go.

Mr. Liao.

Shut up.

Don't speak a word from now on.

Shut up!

Mr. Liao,

I'm not going back.

I told you to shut up!

What's so hard to understand?

Liao Zhong, do it.

Mr. Bi,

everyone,

this child is sick.

Yes, she's sick.

Just give me some time.

I'll take her back right away.

Don't worry,

Mr. Liao.

Someone says he can help cure me.

Chen Duo, what are you talking about?

So what if someone said that?

It doesn't matter.

Do you hear me?

Those things aren't important.

What matters is that you come back with me right now.

Yes, Mr. Liao.

None of that matters.

Neither the company

nor the bunker

matters.

What matters to me

is you.

Chen Duo,

don't push me!

Liao Zhong,

the Poison Girl has begun to have second thoughts

and is no longer useful to us.

Do it now.

Mr. Bi, just give me a moment.

I'll knock her out

and bring her back.

Have you lost your mind?

What have you

done to me?

This is what happened

behind Chen Duo's defection.

Why?

Why did you go to see Liao?

Do you think he'd kill you?

He wouldn't.

Liao's not that kind of person.

Why?

That doesn't make sense.

The story Chen Duo told Meng

doesn't quite add up.

The whole situation seems to make sense at first,

but there are a few parts that don't really add up.

If Chen Duo really wanted to escape,

she could have easily avoided Liao Zhong

and disappeared alone.

Why would she return

to see him for one last time

and put herself in that situation?

According to the autopsy,

Liao Zhong did die from Chen Duo's poison.

But his internal organs

were gradually corroded.

Yes,

that's the key point.

If Chen Duo only wanted to leave the company

and gain the so-called freedom,

she wouldn't need to return

and meet Liao Zhong for the last time.

Even if

she did return,

based on her account,

it doesn't seem like things

had escalated to the point where she had to kill Liao Zhong.

Chen Duo must be hiding something

about this matter,

and we need to get to the bottom of it.

Ma Xianhong,

you'd better stick to your so-called principles.

Don't hand Chen Duo over just yet,

or I'll be in a bind.

If we can uncover

the truth hidden by Chen Duo,

we can resolve this.

However, regarding this particular matter,

my inherent flaw is a major problem.

I know nothing

about women.

Why?

Why?

Those guys

have likely spotted the issue.

Actually,

they might be able to answer my questions,

but I can't exactly ask them.

After all, they are my biggest threat

on this trip.

Perhaps I should consider Bao's opinion

as sometimes,

she does have a unique way

of looking at things.

Wait a minute.

I'm not drunk enough to do that.

Maybe Wang could help?

No,

he's pretty smart,

but he's the type

who doesn't waste time

on women.

Besides, right now, he's either searching for the Refining Furnace

or resting up

to take down Ma Xianhong and Zhuge Qing.

Oh,

how could I forget about that guy?

It's truly a sad story.

The protagonist of the story

must be Chen Duo, right?

No.

Stop making wild guesses.

Zhang Chulan,

you say you're clueless about women,

but I think

you're actually quite clever.

You've unwittingly

pinpointed the core of the issue:

women.

Women?

Yes.

You wonder why the heroine

would conceal the truth in a way

that's so easy to expose.

Based on what you've told me,

I think it's most likely

that she doesn't care about being found out.

No matter how much you press her,

she won't tell you the truth

because, in the end, the story

is about the memories shared between a man and a woman,

a secret just for the two of them.

At the end of the story,

the heroine put on the deadly collar,

giving up her hard-won freedom,

just to see the hero one last time.

Those things aren't important.

What matters is that you come back with me right now.

Yes, Mr. Liao.

None of that matters.

What matters to me

is you.

Doesn't this show

how important the hero is to the heroine?

People

leave

or come to a place

for the same reason.

It all depends

on whether it offers something they truly want.

The heroine going to meet the hero

wasn't so much about saying goodbye.

It was more about weighing her options.

If the hero could give her

what she was looking for,

she might have stayed.

Zhang Chulan,

to uncover the truth,

you need to figure out

what the heroine truly desires.

But the hero is already dead.

How am I supposed to know?

Just make a guess.

A guess?

Yes,

you have to guess.

♪The thoughts of a girl♪

♪They are not for you to guess, boy♪

♪You'll never guess them right, no matter how hard you try♪

Take dating as an example.

Those who can flirt with women

are just beginners.

Those who pamper women

are intermediate.

But those who truly understand women

are the real masters.

But this is too complicated,

and they're not even lovers.

Wait a minute.

I think I get it now.

I gave up my freedom

and risked death

just to see you one more time.

Because you

are more important to me

than my freedom and even my life.

I don't need to search far and wide.

The path

lies in your hands.

I see it now.

I see it. Give it to me.

Give me what I want.

Just give it to me.

I...

Qing, with that exaggerated acting of yours,

how did you manage to stay in the crew?

Is that even related?

Your analysis is logically sound.

The hero is both a strict teacher

and a caring father

to the heroine,

but clearly,

he hasn't given her the outcome she desires.

There's also the sad possibility

that the man gave her

the wrong thing.

Gave her the wrong thing?

There are men

who are perfect in every way.

They give wholeheartedly,

even going so far as to assume

they know exactly what the other person wants.

But once a conflict

arises over this,

if the man doesn't realize his mistake soon enough,

the relationship is doomed

to fall apart.

They just don't understand

what women want,

and there are plenty

of such men.

All right,

I've said enough.

I should head back now.

Whatever you're planning to do,

good luck.

Qing,

since we don't see each other often,

let's talk a bit more.

Wang Ye

told me about what happened with you.

So, about Ma Xianhong

and the Refining Furnace,

you didn't get involved,

did you?

Are you

asking me this as the employee

of NDT Express?

As your friend.

In that case, I've got nothing more to say.

Sorry.

Qing,

you're pretty close to Ma Xianhong now.

If push comes to shove,

we won't end up as enemies,

right?

Zhang Chulan, you know,

the most fascinating thing about fate

is that the future is always full of uncertainty.

If you ask me now,

all I can say is this:

it can't be predicted.

I'm off.

According to Qing,

what Chen Duo wants can only be guessed.

The private matters between her and Liao Zhong

are impossible to ask about.

This guy is indeed adept

when it comes to matters between men and women.

But he overlooked one thing,

what's Ma Xianhong's role in this?

Freedom?

No,

based on Qing's analysis,

Liao Zhong has

what Chen Duo truly wants,

and it's clearly not freedom.

I must ask her again

and not miss a single detail.

That's not how basketball is played.

I scored!

You seem to be great at basketball.

Who taught you?

A

friend.

A friend you made in the village?

A friend from the Bunker.

His name is Chen Junyan.

Have you heard of him?

Why did you come

to see me?

Chen Duo.

Chen Duo.

Could you tell me

the detailed story of how you arrived here?

Yes.

Chief Ma brought me back to Biyou Village.

He told me

I no longer need to return to the Bunker,

but I still wanted to see Mr. Liao again.

Chen Duo,

what did you do to Liao Zhong

before he died?

I asked him to end my life.

Chen Duo,

don't push me!

Liao Zhong,

the Poison Girl has begun to have second thoughts

and is no longer useful to us.

Do it now.

Mr. Bi, just give me a moment.

I'll knock her out

and bring her back.

Mr. Liao.

Chen Duo,

don't push me.

Mr. Liao,

I was right to come here.

What?

I'm happy.

I've never felt this happy.

Mr. Liao,

let me leave.

Do it.

That's an order.

Do it!

No.

Then,

come with me.

No!

In that case,

Mr. Liao,

end my life.

Have you lost your mind?

Liao Zhong,

what happened?

Liao Zhong, answer me.

Liao Zhong!

What have you

done to me?

The Primordial Poison.

You once told me

that the essence of the poison technique

is to make my internal organs

a breeding ground for these toxins,

which are the Primordial Poison.

They feed on the qi within my body.

If I lose my qi,

the poison

will immediately lose its power.

Now,

Mr. Liao,

end my life.

Once I'm dead,

the poison in you will be gone too.

Liao Zhong,

what's going on right now?

Liao Zhong.

Liao Zhong, answer me.

Liao Zhong.

Liao Zhong!

Is this what it feels like

to have something like this planted in your body?

All this time,

you've been enduring this pain,

haven't you?

Chen Duo,

I know you want to run away,

but doing that

will only make things worse.

Hold on

to what you've been wanting the most

this whole time.

I'm here with you.

Don't give up.

Mr. Liao,

so you really don't get it at all.

In the Bunker,

you all taught me many things.

You said I was a fast learner

and praised me for being smart.

Were you lying to me?

If you weren't,

then why are you treating me like a fool now?

Why do you think

I'm stupid enough

to want a "normal" life?

Even if you can cure my body,

can you

make this part of me

normal too?

Can you give me

a so-called "normal" past?

I've never cared about those things.

For me,

what can make me happiest is simple.

Mr. Liao is dead.

This is the entire story.

Only by using this method

could Liao Zhong understand what you wanted.

Unfortunately,

he never did, not even until his death.

But I still have to thank you,

Liao Zhong.

I will make good use

of the poisonous flower

you nurtured with your own blood.

Did you do this?

Morning.

Meng?

Chen Junyan says something has happened to Chen Duo.

What is this strange thing?

It must be Chief Ma

who didn't want you near me,

so he isolated this place.

Ma Xianhong,

let me out.

Ma Xianhong!

Is this Chief Ma some kind of freak?

Does he enjoy locking people up?

I don't think so.

Chief Ma

is a good person.

The divine crafts that forge tangible power,

coupled with techniques that utilize abstract forces,

create a perfect combination.

Zhuge Qing used the ultimate phantasmagoria technique

to guide the Refining Furnace in the correct direction.

The techniques are evolving endlessly,

and the structure of the divine crafts keeps improving.

By giving Zhuge Qing the Divine Forge,

I triggered the awakening of the Refining Furnace.

Now, I can finally recover my memories.
