420: Chapter 64 New Choices

"Is he here to let you persuade me to go back to the company?"

Just as Meng Li finished closing the courtyard gate, Chen Duo put down her game console, looked up at him, and asked.

"Yeah," Meng Li responded softly, then said, "But, I refused."

"Why?" Chen Duo felt surprised.

She had been present when Ma Xianhong talked with Meng Li yesterday. Through their conversation, she knew Meng Li had a connection with the company. Now that Old Meng had come to visit, she thought Meng Li would likely help the other party persuade her, but she didn't expect Meng Li to refuse Old Meng.

Meng Li replied, "Because like you, I don't really like the company."

Hearing this answer, Chen Duo's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Really," Meng Li replied with certainty, then added a transition, "However, you should be clear that given your situation, the company won't let you stay outside forever. They want to take you back, control you, or even eliminate you."

"This approach, from the perspective of most people or rather ordinary people, is correct."

Chen Duo fell silent.

She understood the reasoning Meng Li spoke of.

Her situation was special, but she wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was very smart. Completing the training to become a Temporary Worker in such a short time was proof of that.

She knew that ordinary people made up the majority of this world, and it was centered around them. The Gu Poison inside her was extremely dangerous to ordinary people. Once it went out of control, especially in crowded places, it would cause unpredictable casualties.

It's just that...

"Then what about me?" Chen Duo asked softly, then looked at him with burning eyes, "Can I only go back, be controlled by them, or be killed? Is there no other choice?"

"Of course not," Meng Li flatly denied, then said seriously, "I can give you two new choices."

"The first new choice is to use the method I used yesterday to plunder the vitality of the Gu Poison and feed it back to yourself. Doing this can appropriately reduce the amount of Gu Poison, ease the pressure of controlling them, and simultaneously replenish the vitality you've previously lost."

"If it goes smoothly, your control over the Gu Poison and even your own body will significantly improve, and the situation will get better and better."

"If the company determines your situation is controllable, they most likely won't treat you like before, but they won't be completely at ease."

"Because the Gu Poison inside you is always a hidden danger, not just for others, but for you as well."

"If nothing else, with the Gu Poison in your body, you have to constantly endure the pain of them gnawing at you."

Speaking to this point, he paused slightly and then continued, "The second new choice is that I can perform a surgery on you. By replacing your organs with new ones, I can transfer the Original Gu Poison out of your body, letting you get rid of them completely."

"But there are risks to the surgery; you might die."

"Even if the surgery is successful, without the Original Gu Poison, you will most likely lose the ability to control Gu and become an ordinary person."

"In this case, the company should be completely at ease with you."

"You can live a normal life, just as Liao Zhong and Old Meng hoped."

Finally, Meng Li summarized, "Including going back to the company and death, you have a total of four choices."

"Which one do you want to choose?"

Chen Duo didn't respond but lowered her head to think.

Meng Li patted her head and said gently, "Think about it carefully, and tell me your answer before dark today."

"Okay."

Chen Duo agreed and left with her game console.

Meng Li didn't stay in the house for long either, wandering around the village alone.

After a walk around, he found that Zhang Chulan's group had already started splitting up to investigate the specific situation of Biyou Village.

Feng Baobao was in the pigsty using a skilled castration technique to remove the 'root of troubles' for the pigs, blending in with the onlookers.

Wang Zhenqiu, relying on his feminine features and silver tongue, was well-loved by the village's older women.

Xiao Zizai, just like in the original plot, had his eyes on Zhao Guizhen, who was equally mentally ill.

Old Meng was seeking out various animals, though it was unclear whether he was gathering information through this alternative channel or preparing for the upcoming battle.

Due to his physique, Black Pipe was being targeted by Hari Chagai.

Zhang Chulan was nowhere to be seen for the moment; Meng Li guessed he was most likely pestering Ma Xianhong using his identity as a fellow successor of the Eight Peculiar Skills.

When he reached the riverside, Meng Li saw Zhuge Qing flirting with Fu Rong.

One of these two had the traits of a scumbag, while the other specifically loved scumbags; they were a perfect match.

Watching their flirting made Meng Li curl his lips inwardly. He then glanced to the side and happened to meet a pair of eyes filled with a faint sense of resentment.

He gave a silent smile and turned to walk back. After walking a short distance, he was called out to.

"Mr. Meng, is it convenient to talk?" The speaker was Wang Ye.

"Sure."

A moment later, the two arrived at a deserted grove.

Wang Ye got straight to the point: "Should I call you Meng Li, or the White Sword Immortal?"

Hearing this, Meng Li was slightly stunned. He stared at Wang Ye for two seconds, then narrowed his eyes and said, "How did you know?"

Wang Ye spat out two words: "life pattern."

Meng Li realized.

He knew about things like life patterns and had tried to look at his own before, but he couldn't see anything.

He hadn't expected his secret identity to be seen through by Wang Ye because of this.

However, he didn't care much and instead asked curiously, "What is my life pattern?"

Wang Ye said, "You are an Anomaly; you have no life pattern."
