Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 47 Chen Duo
Chen Duo, a pure soul born and dying in a single day, is the perfect counterpart to Feng Baobao, equally pure-hearted and ignorant of the world. While Feng Baobao enjoys eternal life, Chen Duo dances with death.

As a holy child with a Gu body carefully cultivated by the Medicine Immortal Society, in addition to his Gu skills, the more critical thing is his spiritual death.

By soaking them in potions and learning the techniques, they let the Gu children cultivate Qi and nurture the Gu in their bodies. Through cruel stimulation and suggestion, they are taught not to doubt or judge, to abandon thinking, and to ignore external stimuli. This training method is actually equivalent to a form of spiritual murder.

This was also why, when Chen Duo died, her consciousness wanted to see her companions in the Medicine Immortal Society. Here, she didn't need to think about anything, didn't need to worry about anything, had no worries... and no self.

Adopted by Liao Zhong, she regained her self-awareness with the help of Chen Junyan and others. When Chen Duo burst into tears like a newborn baby, she had already "resurrected" spiritually.

Feng Baobao also had this kind of "resurrection", and her enlightenment was the Xu Xiang family. She was very lucky to be protected by such a simple and kind family.

When Xu Xiang grew old, Feng Baobao was protected by his brothers, Xu San and Xu Si. After Xu Xiang's death, Zhang Chulan took over. Feng Baobao was undoubtedly lucky. These people, without exception, would firmly stand by her, both in terms of the company and Feng Baobao.

In contrast, Chen Duo was unfortunate. She was in the bunker and had to cooperate with the bunker's various research projects while also being restricted by the company.

But while Chen Duo was mentally revived, her life remained essentially unchanged. She had only changed from being restricted by the Medicine Immortal Society's "cannots" to being able to do things. Essentially, there was no difference; she still had a strong sense of control.

After Chen Duo regained his emotional ability, this control, which was essentially no different, made Chen Duo feel uncomfortable with this world.

It does not deny the care that Liao Zhong and others have for Chen Duo, but he is ultimately restricted by the company. No matter how the experimenters take care of him, the experimental subject can only be an experimental subject after all.

If Xu Xiang, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao were placed in the same situation as Liao Zhong and Chen Duo, such a problem would not have arisen at all. You should know that when Zhang Chulan revealed Feng Baobao's secret to Director Zhao, his first reaction was to kill her.

Zhao Dong teased Zhang Chulan about his reaction, which was similar to Xu Xiang's, indicating that Xu Xiang's first instinct was also to kill him to silence him. Liao Zhong's choice was to constantly compromise.

Chen Duo's death was not just due to her own problems, but also to the environment. She was a venomous snake that had wandered into the crowd. She might not have intended to harm anyone, but people were thinking about how to kill her.

Liao Zhong believes that what Chen Duo needs is freedom, and while it's true that Chen Duo needs "freedom," the freedom she wants isn't the kind Liao Zhong understands: a life like any other human being.

Instead, you can choose what you want to do, break free from the "can" and "cannot" imposed by the outside world, and make your own decisions.

As a child carefully selected by the Medicine Immortal Society, Chen Duo was very smart. After regaining her emotions and consciousness, she knew that no matter how good she was, she was still an outlier.

As she herself said, the poison in her body can be cured, but her spirit will never be the same as that of an ordinary person. Therefore, Chen Duo does not need a life like an ordinary person, she only needs spiritual freedom.

Chen Duo blushed whenever she saw Wang Zhenqiu, and now Su Yun. This was a sign of her developing a crush on a man of outstanding appearance. However, she had always been taught not to interact with other people.

Liao Zhong and others rescued Chen Duo from the Medicine Fairy Society, stimulated and revived her spirit, but created a "cage" for her, which was no different from the Medicine Fairy Society for Chen Duo.

"Hello, my name is Su Yun." Su Yun greeted Chen Duo. The girl's ending was indeed a pity, but she didn't need any sympathy.

Because the kind of happiness that Chen Duo experienced on the day before her death was something that many people may never experience in their entire lives.

There are so many things people want in their life, such as wealth, love, health, fame, status... But there is only one thing that can be given up for everything else, and that is worthy of being called the most desired thing.

The average person's mind is cluttered, obscured by the world and dazzled by the dazzling array of things. Some people may never find what they truly desire in their entire lives. However, those with simple minds are different; they are particularly "sensitive" to the things they desire most.

At the same time, when they get what they want, the joy in their hearts is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Chen Duo wanted the freedom of choice, Feng Baobao pursued the family background... Su Yun knew that the satisfaction after getting it must be very pleasant.

"Hello, my name is Chen Duo." When Chen Duo heard Su Yun greeting her, the blush on her cheeks became more obvious and she responded softly.

Su Yun wasn't particularly interested in rescuing Chen Duo. If group leader Cheng Yiyi had an idea, she could have come herself. However, Su Yun was very interested in what would happen if he had stimulated Chen Duo's "desire to choose" in advance.

"Chen Duo, do you want to go shopping with me?" Su Yun said. After observing for a while, Su Yun analyzed that Chen Duo should be on vacation now.

When there aren't any missions requiring temporary workers, Chen Duo can rest on her own. Wearing a hidden device, like the collar from the original story, allows the user to monitor Chen Duo's condition and location at any time. Chen Duo isn't allowed to go to crowded places, so when she rests, she takes walks through the woods.

This place is close to the border between Guangxi and Guizhou provinces, so it's a rare event for Su Yun to run into Chen Duo here. Perhaps Chen Duo's recent mission was in this area, which is why she appeared here.

Chen Duo was stunned for a moment when she heard this, revealing a surprised and cute expression: (_)
Chen Duo pointed at herself in surprise and asked, "Do you want me to choose?"

"Well, then your choice is...?" Su Yun nodded, confirming Chen Duo's question.

Chen Duo didn't reply immediately, her two hands entangled with each other. But from her bright green eyes, it can be seen that she was in a very happy mood at the moment.

"I'll go shopping with you...I chose it." Chen Duo was very willing to get along with this person who let her choose by herself, so she naturally chose to go shopping together and added a sentence at the end.

The two of them were just walking together among the mountains and rivers. They were not too close to each other, about a few people apart, enjoying the spring outing together.

Su Yun's mind also gradually relaxed amidst the beautiful scenery. The feeling of having fun everywhere in Fuyuki City became dull. In short, he went from being a fun-loving person to a bad person again.

"Comfortable~" After walking around for a while, Su Yun lay on a large bluestone for a while, and then stretched.

Su Yun stood up and looked at Chen Duo, who was sitting under the tree. Noticing Su Yun's gaze, Chen Duo's cheeks flushed slightly, but it was much lighter than before. Apparently, after spending some time together, she was no longer as shy in front of Su Yun, who was full of lazy temperament.

"Before you leave, do you want me to leave your contact information?" Su Yun was already planning to return to Biyou Village. He said goodbye to Chen Duo and took out his cell phone to ask.

Another multiple-choice question was placed in front of her. Chen Duo shyly took out her cell phone and left Su Yun's contact information.

Chen Duo was very happy today, which was related to Su Yun, but had nothing to do with Su Yun herself. She just made two choices today that she decided on her own.

But Chen Duo's good mood did not last long.

In the bunker.

"What! Chen Duo, don't be fooled by those brats out there!"

"Who is that guy? I'll go check it out for you."

"It's definitely not something good!"

When Liao Zhong knew that Chen Duo knew a young man, a picture immediately emerged in his mind: Huangmao rode a ghost fire and came to his house, and said to him arrogantly, "Lao Deng, is it okay for the ghost fire to be parked downstairs of your house?"

Liao Zhong immediately called up the audio of the conversation between Chen Duo and Su Yun during that time period. Except for when she was in the bunker, Chen Duo naturally had various monitoring devices on her body, not only to monitor her physical condition but also to record her audio.

After listening to the audio, Liao Zhongcai felt relieved, at least he didn't run into some yellow-haired boy.

However, Liao Zhong still taught Chen Duo earnestly to be careful of those guys outside who might be all show and no substance.

It can be seen that Liao Zhong is like a traditional patriarch who believes that his actions are for the good of his children. If Chen Duo could get Liao Zhong's recognition and praise for her choice, Chen Duo would be happier.

Su Yun had anticipated the situation Chen Duo would face upon returning to the bunker. Her fate was the result of a multitude of factors, and Chen Duo herself was merely being pushed along.

Of course, in the process of story development, if there is any small factor affecting it, the subsequent development will go off track, which is the so-called butterfly effect.

Just like if Chen Duo had not met Ma Xianhong, she might have stayed in the bunker for a long time, and her future would have been unknown.

The intersection between Chen Duo and Su Yun will inevitably have some impact. As to whether this impact is good or bad, it is hard to say.
