Arc 6: The Real World – 3

She Lost All Her Integrity in the Mission Worlds

　　Ke Li’s actions were too sudden, and the area she pushed wasn’t good. Shi Jin felt a dull pain from her chest, and her arms were empty. Then she saw Ke Li staring at her in a daze and murmuring to herself, “How could it be? How could it be?”

　　Shi Jin ignored the pain. She fixed her exposed neckline, knelt, and hugged Ke Li. She warmly appeased: “Don’t think about it. Those things are in the past. I’m here now. You’ll be okay.”

　　Ke Li shook her head, only to feel that bloody scene flashing through her mind. Followed by a scene that Shi Jin fell in front of her and her eyes were full of Shi Jin’s blood.

　　Her head was filled with fireworks exploding and crackling. All the things she remembered were either greatly enlarged or greatly shrunk. She banged her head hard and even suspected that she was still in the novel world, otherwise, how could it be!

　　Shi Jin was busy restraining Ke Li’s restless hands. Her eyes were red with anxiety, and said, “Dear, calm down. Don’t think about it. It will get worse and worse. Do you still want to forget about me?”

　　It seemed that this sentence worked. Ke Li was stunned, leaning against Shi Jin’s arms with closed eyes and didn’t think about anything. Her headache was alleviated to some extent, but her heart rate and respiratory rate were still high.

　　Nearly ten minutes later, Ke Li was still held by Shi Jin in a strange position, but she calmed down. She said her doubts: “You…how do you have that wound? How were you hurt?”

　　Shi Jin was relieved, gently stroked her hair, and said, “It’s not good to talk about this, okay? You need to relax now.”

　　“But I want to know.” Ke Li deeply inhaled Shi Jin’s scent. The scene in her mind just now made her feel closer to the woman in front of her. “Weren’t you doing this to help me remember? Tell me slowly, I’m not that fragile.”

　　However, Shi Jin rubbed Ke Li’s face and said, “You have to be obedient. This kind of thing can’t be rushed. You need to recover slowly, otherwise, there’s only failure.”

　　“Can I look at the wound again?” Ke Li looked at Shi Jin quietly. “Since I don’t have to do tasks anymore, that means that I improved to a certain degree, right? Don’t be so cautious.”

　　Her brain was like paste now, and she was trying to organize the things in her mind. Thus, she was eager to know everything.

　　“You’re not allowed to think about it on purpose.” Shi Jin released Ke Li and moved the bathrobe, revealing the faded scar and a large area of snow-white skin with a slightly flushed face.

　　“It’s a gunshot wound, right?” Ke Li’s fingertips touched it, and her eyes were unknowingly fixed on it. She was terrified of the thought that Shi Jin might have experienced this kind of danger.

　　Shi Jin grabbed her hand in time, pulled up her bathrobe, and said, “Okay, no more looking.” 

　　“Was it because of me?” However, Ke Li was reluctant to let go of this. Why would she get shot at in a peaceful society for no reason? The probability of a car accident is much greater than this, unless it was an abduction.

　　“No, it was my fault. It was because I didn’t know people well enough.” Shi Jin saw Ke Li was being stubborn and still trying to pursue this matter. She held her face and said, “If I could tell you right now, then there wouldn’t be a need to do things in such a roundabout way with sister Qing. Otherwise, things would only backfire. You will slowly understand everything over time. You have to take the initiative to think about it. It’s like being forced to accept and taking the initiative to accept are two different things. I can’t let you take this risk.”
