The Reborn

Chapter 14 (Part 1) • 1,344 words • 12 min read

After confirming her new place of refuge, Bai Xiao An’s mood stabilized considerably.

She sat in the modified passenger seat, her two small legs dangling in the air.

Her rounded knees bumped against each other from time to time, and her soft toes curled slightly under the restraints of the transparent high heels and the delicate white silk, appearing playful and cute.

Her small face was a little flushed, and she looked a little restless, as if she was enduring something.

“If you’re bored, you can go to the back and play with them,” Lu Shanshui said, looking at Bai Xiao An’s alluring appearance.

He always felt that something was wrong.

Looking at her for too long seemed like it would be bad for his body, so he thought about getting this little thing out of the way.

He probably managed to maintain his chastity for two months while living with five women in the apocalypse thanks to this ability.

“The road is still a bit long.
Because of your unauthorized departure this time, we’re now taking the Quanchuan Highway as a detour, and we should be approaching the outskirts of the city tonight.
But it’s more dangerous to move at night, so all in all, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.”

“I’m not bored.
I just feel a little strange…” Bai Xiao An’s small face was still a little flushed, and she looked very cute.

She said hesitantly, but didn’t continue, instead choosing to change the subject.

“The main reason I went back this time was also because I couldn’t let go of Lin Aijing… I really like her, and I still like her even now.
Of course, I can’t be with her anymore.” When she talked about Lin Aijing, Bai Xiao An became much calmer, but she suddenly felt that this sentence would cause a misunderstanding, so she quickly added, “Of course, I don’t mean that I can’t be with her because I’m a woman now.
I’ll change back into a man.
I mean… I can’t be with her even after I change back into a man… because Meng Fanhai… he’s really…”

Bai Xiao An was unusually persistent in confirming that she would change back into a male, and she kept strongly implying that she was originally male to maintain her inner self.

But what she didn’t know was that, after only one morning, after coming out of that surgery, she was finding it difficult to remember even her past name.

There was always a strange force in her brain that was preventing her from recalling her male identity.

But she didn’t even notice this, and was only confirming her identity based on instinctive will and simple logical thinking.

Lu Shanshui didn’t pay much attention to Bai Xiao An’s emphasis.

Instead, after hearing the name Lin Aijing again, his expression became a little heavy for some reason.

He thought of a piece of information, a piece of information that absolutely couldn’t be told to the person called “Ren Anhua.”

After thinking for a while, feeling a little guilty, he decided to give the current Bai Xiao An some advice.

“Do you know why we were able to find you?
Have you ever thought about this question?” Lu Shanshui said.

“Also, neither you nor the military’s examinations can detect my ability, and only think that I’m an ordinary person.”

“Of course, it’s because I’m so awesome.
I’m quite famous, although it’s not exactly a good name, but basically the people in this area know me, and they’re all afraid of me,” Bai Xiao An said, seeming a little proud.

“As for your ability, I really can’t feel any ability fluctuations at all, and can only think that you’re an ordinary person, but…”

“I am indeed an ordinary person, with no ability whatsoever,” Lu Shanshui interrupted Bai Xiao An, saying this.

But Bai Xiao An didn’t believe this nonsense at all.

“But I’m not an ordinary person,” Lu Shanshui continued.

“Why can I gain a foothold in the apocalypse with them?
You know that even Awakened couldn’t easily kill ordinary zombies in the early days of the apocalypse.
I was able to appear in time to protect them before they had even grown up.
And step by step, we’ve developed to this day.”

Lu Shanshui’s expression became more and more serious.

“Because I’m a Reborn!
That day, I suddenly woke up before the apocalypse, and found that the people around me were living and working normally.
I thought the apocalypse was just a dream, but at that time, a system appeared in my mind.” Lu Shanshui laid out his biggest secret.

“You know, like it’s written in novels.
I was reborn before the apocalypse with a system.
The system’s abilities are very powerful, and there are many skills inside, just like in a game.
I became a master with the knife, and even in the early days of the apocalypse, I had great strength.
You’ve seen it.
I’m very strong now.
Those sword techniques that defy the laws of physics, those are all my skills.”

Bai Xiao An felt like she had heard an incredible piece of news.

In addition to being shocked, she was also full of suspicion.

“I know everything about the development after the apocalypse, and I also know about you.
You’re a notorious, brutal character.
I also know that you survived with three people in the early days of the apocalypse.
One of them was called Zhao Sanyan, your right-hand man, and the other two were ordinary people.
I can tell you other information about you, because I know almost everything about you.
You’re too famous.
Your story has been circulating in Pingding County for a long time, but the only thing I don’t know is what you look like.”

Lu Shanshui’s words seemed more and more credible.

That’s right, the apocalypse had come, Awakened had appeared, and all sorts of incredible things that couldn’t have been imagined in the past were now possible.

So why couldn’t there be a character who had been reborn with a system, like a protagonist?

“The reason I don’t know what you look like is because you were killed, killed by a woman named Lin Aijing.”

All the belief turned into unwillingness to believe at this moment, but Bai Xiao An didn’t say something like “You’re lying.”

She was afraid that it was true, but she also felt that it was true.

“Then… how did I die?” Bai Xiao An bit her lip, her voice a little shaky.

“You liked Lin Aijing.
Lin Aijing liked Meng Fanhai.
Meng Fanhai admired you, and offered Lin Aijing to you.
Then Lin Aijing killed you, and then Meng Fanhai killed Lin Aijing.” Lu Shanshui described the end of the one called “Ren Anhua” in a light tone.

“The reason we found you can also be considered giving you a way out.
Logically speaking, we should only tell you this after we get the core, considering it your real reward for helping.
We’re very particular about fairness.
Of course, it’s not just about letting you restore your original body.
You saved Ke Xiaoshan, and we’ll also save your life,” Lu Shanshui said sincerely.

“The reason we don’t want you to leave the team and return to the camp is also for your safety.
In case this plot is triggered ahead of time after you go back, then it also means that Ke Xiaoshan’s life is in danger at the same time.
I feel very guilty for hiding these things from you all along, and I’m always thinking about compensating you for something, perhaps everyone on the team thinks so.
After thinking about it, I decided to pay you this reward in advance.
Of course, don’t just run off after you know.
Wouldn’t I be raising an ingrate if you did haha.” Lu Shanshui wanted to ease the atmosphere, but the current atmosphere couldn’t be eased.

“Don’t worry, I won’t run away.” For some reason, after Lu Shanshui told everything, Bai Xiao An became calm instead.
