Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 518 "Infecting the World" - Male Mother (129)

Lu Liruan blinked as she listened to his words, her mind unable to process what Liao Tingyuan was saying.

Lu Liruan glanced at Liao Tingyuan, then looked up at the bottle containing the medicine.

The medicine inside was colorless and was being infused into Liao Tingyuan's veins drop by drop through the tube.

"What is this thing? Why is it being injected into your body?"

Are you sick? If so, why don't you see a doctor?

"What exactly is this?" Lu Liruan asked a series of questions.

She instinctively felt that the thing injected into Liao Tingyuan's body was the culprit that made him look so weak now.

Liao Tingyuan's weakness was visible to the naked eye...

He could even feel that Liao Tingyuan was panting when he spoke.

His face was pale, without a trace of color.

Lu Liruan didn't dare to pull him too hard, for fear of making him even more uncomfortable.

The people around Lu Liruan looked at each other without saying a word. For a moment, they didn't know how to interrupt or whether they should explain for Liao Tingyuan.

Liao Tingyuan sat up slightly, gesturing for Lu Liruan to look at him: "You don't need to worry... it won't hurt my body..."

Lu Liruan thought to herself, "You're really lying through your teeth. Look at yourself now, do you think I can't see you?"

"You even deliberately sent me away and made everyone cooperate with you, using such an excuse, isn't it just to keep me from finding out?"

Lu Liruan felt a sense of helplessness, as if she had been excluded by everyone.

If you don't want me to know, there must be a reason why you don't want me to know... but why are you all keeping it from me?

Lu Liruan grew angrier the more she thought about it. She looked around and saw that everyone seemed a little guilty under her gaze.

Even Lao Cheng, sitting in his boss's chair, pretended to be busy looking down at his phone, but in reality, the phone screen was just on standby and there was nothing there.

Gao Shiyi walked over to Lu Liruan and patted her shoulder: "Liruan, don't get agitated. We didn't mean to keep it from you."

"You didn't mean to hide it from me, did you? If you didn't mean to hide it from me, why did you send me to deliver the documents today?" Lu Liruan suddenly turned her gaze to the table next to Lao Cheng.

There was a sealed, transparent safe above, and Lu Liruan was very familiar with the contents of the safe.

That kind of safe was used to store the source of infection. Back then, after Liao Tingyuan and I took the source of infection out of the space and brought it to the workplace, Lu Liruan watched as An Tang locked it into that kind of transparent safe.

The feeling of space I experienced was definitely not an illusion...

Lu Liruan became even more convinced of her own ideas.

Looking closely inside, he realized that it was the source of infection that he and Liao Tingyuan had brought out from the space.

Lu Liruan rushed over, taking three steps at a time, and reached out to touch the transparent safe.

"Hey!" Zhao Linchuan was startled and tried to stop Lu Liruan's actions, but he was a step too slow for her.

Watching helplessly as Lu Liruan touched the transparent safe lid and suddenly lifted it open...

Lu Liruan never expected that she would be able to lift this thing up!

After all, the lock on it looked very secure at the time.

Moreover, it has double security, featuring both a mechanical lock and a high-tech fingerprint lock...

Now it's completely open. Lu Liruan even asked if there was any special feature to this kind of safe.

An Tang said that this kind of safe is made of special insulating material. Lu Liruan asked what insulating material?

An Tang said she didn't know either...

The boss was in charge of this; he told them to use this to package it, so they used this.

Sometimes, they wouldn't ask too many questions, since it was supposedly able to block the spatial aura emitted by the source of infection that they could perceive.

But now that this thing is open so open, Lu Liruan's mind, which had been completely blank just moments before, is now racing with thoughts again...

Lu Liruan felt that her mind had never worked so fast before.

Moreover, it's involuntary, as if it's operating on its own, engaging in rapid thinking and processing.

I tried very hard to analyze the scene before me and the deeper meaning it represented...

Then Lu Liruan linked the source of the infection to Liao Tingyuan.

"What is the connection between this source of infection and Teacher Liao?" Lu Liruan asked.

Feeling guilty, Zhao Linchuan turned his head away, but at this moment, Lu Liruan was very perceptive of all the movements present.

So she turned her gaze to Zhao Linchuan: "You're not allowed to lie to me..."

Zhao Linchuan looked into Lu Liruan's eyes. The two of them had been having a great time these past few days. In Zhao Linchuan's mind, Lu Liruan was an innocent, gentle, somewhat whimsical, and very happy little girl.

But now, there seemed to be a strange emotion burning in the girl's eyes, leaving him speechless and unsure of what to say.

Gao Shiyi glanced at Liao Tingyuan and realized that Liao Tingyuan's attention was not on her at all.

She sighed softly, then looked at Zhao Linchuan, indicating that he could speak.

Zhao Linchuan coughed lightly and looked at Lu Liruan, saying, "This is related to my abilities..."

"What does your ability have to do with this?" Lu Liruan looked at the open safe, its contents exposed. She was the one who identified the source of infection from the space, so she was the one most familiar with this source of infection.

They are also the ones who understand best and are most able to perceive it.

But at this moment, the most obvious spatial awareness emanating from this room wasn't from the source of the infection, but rather...

Lu Liruan couldn't say where it was either.

So she kept turning her head, trying to find her location.

Hopefully, she can find the place where she perceives things most strongly...

Then Lu Liruan's gaze turned to Liao Tingyuan, and she frowned slightly in disbelief.

Zhao Linchuan suddenly felt a double pressure...

On one side came Lao Cheng, and on the other side came Lu Liruan. This was the first time he had felt pressure from Lu Liruan.

“Um…” He pointed to himself and continued, “My ability is transformation… just like how I extract the flavor from an apple, my ability can also transform… something like radiation from an infection source, let’s call it an element.” He explained in a low voice, trying to be as quick as possible.

"Extract it and then convert it into other things, but because this element is not very stable in any object... Has anyone told you about this?"

He looked up at Lu Li, his gaze serious yet suddenly revealing a hint of doubt, and glanced to both sides.

An Tang wanted to smile, but in the end she didn't, and shook her head: "Li Ruan didn't do any new employee training, but she did distribute a new employee handbook."

"Li Ruan, have you seen it?" An Tang walked to Lu Li Ruan's side and asked gently.

Lu Liruan recalled the new employee handbook that she had thrown on the windowsill and which was now covered in dust.

She did see it...

But I didn't look at it very carefully.

Because of the bad example set by Liao Tingyuan...

Teacher Liao said at the time that he hadn't looked at these things, and he hadn't even listened very carefully to the new employee training.

So much so that he was unable to even answer some of Lu Liruan's questions while in the space.

“I…I saw it!” Lu Liruan stiffened her neck.

Zhao Linchuan thought to himself: You don't look like you've seen it...

But he didn't dare say such things to provoke Lu Liruan, because the girl seemed to be in a very unstable mental state.

If she says something that displeases the other person or touches a nerve, who knows what the other person might suddenly do.

Zhao Linchuan was very nervous, poking his fingers while glancing at Lao Cheng beside him.

Because Lao Cheng was there, he even spoke very quickly, as if he were rushing to a market.

I want to say the most in the shortest amount of time.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but he couldn't get rid of it...

It seems like nobody in this room cares about his feelings right now!

He was just a poor little guy who received absolutely no attention!

As Zhao Linchuan lamented to himself, he let out a long sigh.

Liao Tingyuan sat on the sofa. He was very adept at analyzing Lu Liruan's emotions. Looking at Lu Liruan's eyes now, he wanted to say: After leaving the space, he had carefully read and studied that manual...

I'm just worried that the little girl might ask me another question someday, and I still won't be able to answer it.

But saying such things at this moment seems extremely inappropriate...

Liao Tingyuan hesitated for a moment, which was rare, and then swallowed his words back.

He was indeed speaking with some difficulty at that moment...

His whole body felt like it had been injected with a muscle relaxant, making it difficult for him to even make a sound.

He had just tried his best to speak a few words to Lu Liruan in a normal voice, and he already felt tired.

However, Liao Tingyuan did not dare to appear very weak at this time.

Even without looking in a mirror, he knew his complexion must look terrible.

But the more distressed he appeared, the greater the impact on Lu Liruan...

This is why they deliberately sent Lu Liruan away; it wasn't that they really intended to hide it from her, exclude her, or not treat her as one of their own.

I didn't have that thought at all; I was just worried that Lu Liruan would feel anxious or scared...

After all, the young girl seemed to be very sensitive and seemed to care a lot about Liao Tingyuan.

An Tang once sighed and said to Liao Tingyuan, "Your position in her heart now... I mean, in our work!" An Tang tried her best to make amends.

“At work, you are no different from her parent in terms of status… If you act strangely or dangerously at this time, making her worry, it will be very difficult for her to accept and will have a psychological impact on her.”

"So my suggestion is that you either have a good talk with her to get rid of this feeling in advance, or..." An Tang wanted to say to keep it a secret for a while longer, but then she wondered, how long could she keep it a secret?

Liao Tingyuan nodded without saying anything, but he also agreed with An Tang's idea.

Although he, as the girl's parent, somewhat disagreed with what An Tang said...

But Liao Tingyuan didn't know how to bring it up with Lu Liruan.

Knowing the girl's personality, he knew that no matter what he said beforehand, it wouldn't erase her feelings about the matter...

Or rather, Liao Tingyuan felt that the little girl would definitely feel sad and unhappy.

But none of this is what he wants...

Although he didn't want it, the little girl was always a vulnerable and innocent person who could only rely on others for protection.

However, Liao Tingyuan also did not want the truth to be too realistic or too cruel, so that the young girl would feel sad and unable to let go.

That's why he kept dragging it out...

I wanted to speak several times, but I stopped myself in the end.

This incident was unexpected and shouldn't have happened today.

But for some reason, the boss suddenly made this decision. In this place, the boss's decision is final and can make all the decisions swiftly and decisively.

A few days ago, when Liao Tingyuan and An Tang were discussing it, they ultimately decided that Gao Shiyi should talk to Lu Liruan first.

It could also be a group of people sitting down together and having a chat.

Because Gao Shiyi is a professional in this field, and she is also responsible for the psychological assessment of personnel within the organization.

Because each space is different, the strength of its influence, or the things displayed within it, will have varying degrees of impact on people...

Therefore, there is a certain probability that entering the space and then coming out will have a certain psychological impact on a person.

Even if they are not affected by the space, some people may not be able to fully cope with the kind of work that may involve sudden tasks, unstable life, and even some disconnect from society.

Gao Shiyi was responsible for conducting regular psychological assessments of everyone.

If anyone is found to have psychological problems or deviations that affect their behavior and cognition, they will be prevented from entering the space to perform tasks.

After all, this involves risks...

If entering this space causes unpredictable dangers to one's companions, then that would be irresponsible to both one's companions and oneself.

For such individuals, their employers will also fund further evaluation and professional treatment.

We'll consider other things later.

Gao Shiyi has done an excellent job over the past few years, and she is very competent in this job.

So, if Lu Liruan could solve this problem...

Liao Tingyuan was indeed somewhat regretful at this moment. He shouldn't have kept putting off the responsibility and even pinned his hopes on others.

Now that the little girl had discovered him, Liao Tingyuan felt a great sense of guilt.

He felt guilty for betraying the young girl's trust in him. That's what he was thinking.
