Shen Jinxuan's eyes glimmered, wide open, and she cautiously asked, "Mr. Murderer, what should I call you?"
Su Changxing was taken aback. Shen Jinxuan seemed to have no recollection of what happened yesterday and said, "My name is Su Changxing."
Shen Jinxuan looked out at the red world beyond the window, took a deep breath, and asked, "So what's the situation outside, and what happened to me yesterday?"
She wasn't as scared as the first time they met when she saw Su Changxing climb in through the window, but there was still some fear.
Su Changxing mused, "Today is the Blood Moon, so you know nothing?"
"Blood Moon?"
Shen Jinxuan seemed confused and said, "Was I sleepwalking on the street last night when you brought me here?"
Su Changxing sat across from Shen Jinxuan and asked, "Sleepwalking? Did you have sleepwalking incidents before the Doomsday Game?"
He reckoned that Shen Jinxuan had always been like this, but before the Doomsday Game, her lifestyle was relatively orderly, so no abnormalities were found.
However, one thing didn't add up; if Jin existed, she wouldn't be able to hide it at all.
Shen Jinxuan shook her head and said, "No, I only had a sleeping disorder, but it wasn't severe."
Su Changxing nodded and said, "Your condition is a bit special; it's a rather special kind of 'sleepwalking,' not something that can be explained in a few words."
He was considering whether to tell Shen Jinxuan the truth. Sometimes it's better not to know, and Shen Jinxuan appeared to be a non-dominant but important character among the three personas.
Shen Jinxuan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Did you just mention food? I'm a bit hungry, it's like I haven't eaten for days."
We were just talking about the sleepwalking issue, weren't we?
Su Changxing was startled, feeling that this girl's thoughts were somewhat erratic. He took out two boxes of self-heating rice from his backpack and said, "Hmm, eat this."
He tore open the lid, took out a water bottle, and poured water into it to heat it up.
Shen Jinxuan took a deep breath, paused, and said, "This kind of symptom should be a split personality. I seem to be aware of another me existing; you should have communicated with her yesterday, right?"
Shen Jinxuan was more perceptive than he imagined, had already made some guesses.
Su Changxing put the lid back on and nodded, "Yes, but she seems to be more clearly aware of your existence."
"Is that so?"
Shen Jinxuan didn't have much of an emotional reaction, neither surprised nor scared, but instead showed an expression of realization.
With that, everything before seemed to be explainable, and some things before the Doomsday Game could also be understood.
The position of some items in the room would sometimes change, inexplicable people would sometimes call her saying inexplicable things, and sometimes she would subconsciously make some strange gestures.
For instance, now her left hand subconsciously made a gesture of a gun.
"Bang."
Shen Jinxuan tilted her head, a smile tugging at her lips, pretending to aim with one eye and "fired" at Su Changxing, mimicking the sound of the gun with her mouth.
A hint of blue flashed in her pupils.
Although Su Changxing didn't react, he still felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. After all, he had witnessed Jin's "shooting" prowess before.
Shen Jinxuan snapped out of it and was stunned as well, feeling that it was quite impolite, she awkwardly said, "Sorry, I don't know why I made that gesture."
Jin?
Su Changxing couldn't help but smile, finding it amusing. It seemed Jin could subconsciously influence Shen Jinxuan. He said,
"Eat, after eating we'll leave. This location is quite far from there, and since today is the Blood Moon, we need to make some preparations."
Su Changxing didn't mention where they were going, and Shen Jinxuan didn't ask why they needed to go.
Looking at the steaming food, Shen Jinxuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately took a big bite, not caring about her image and mumbled,
"Were there dead people here yesterday? I saw dried blood stains on the ground, looking like they haven't been dead for more than six hours."
She possessed the basic sharp intuition of a journalist, and actually noticed the bloodstains on the ground right from the start, even imagining the rough positions where these people fell.
Su Changxing nodded and calmly said, "Mm, six people died. I threw the bodies out the window yesterday."
Shen Jinxuan didn't have any special thoughts about it. In the apocalypse, death was the most normal thing, but she thought Su Changxing was impressive, capable of efficiently taking down six people alone.
She had learned some profiling and knew that these six people had died very efficiently.
Shen Jinxuan ate faster and faster and finished a box of self-heating rice in less than two minutes, seemingly still wanting more, only to find Su Changxing had finished a box even faster. She said, "Shall we go now?"
"Yes."
Su Changxing nodded, handed her a short knife, and said, "Just try to stay behind me."
Shen Jinxuan felt the weight of the short knife, swung it in the air, and said, "A very exquisite weapon, just right for me."
The two packed up a bit and headed downstairs.
Su Changxing looked at the sporadic zombies on the street outside and said, "You should have killed zombies before, right?"
Shen Jinxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I've killed... one, but with this weapon, I should be able to handle one zombie."
Upon hearing that Shen Jinxuan had only killed one zombie, Su Changxing wasn't surprised. With Jin and Shen Xuan's existence, it wouldn't be surprising if she hadn't even killed a single one.
In a safe place with enough food, who would go fight zombies? If he had the means back then, he wouldn't have either.
"Have so many zombies died? Did you kill them?"
Shen Jinxuan looked at the street full of zombie corpses, her pupils contracting.
This scene looked extremely eerie; all the zombies died in one spot, piling into a heap of corpses, forming a large circle.
Su Changxing glanced at her and shook his head, "No."
Shen Jinxuan thought for a moment and then said, relieved, "True, I saw you struggling to fight four people before, it's not likely you killed so many zombies."
In her mind, Su Changxing was a very capable person, able to take on a few people alone, but still just a very capable person, not beyond the scope of an ordinary person.
Am I really that inadequate?
Su Changxing didn't explain much, turned around, and proceeded down the street, with Shen Jinxuan following behind. The nearby zombies had been cleared out last night, so there weren't major obstacles.
"Poof~"
A zombie fell heavily to the ground, its body chopped into a bloody mess.
Shen Jinxuan finally killed a zombie with four strikes. Her strength and speed were quite good, stronger than the average person, just lacking some combat experience.
She also realized, "My strength and speed seem to be greater than I previously imagined."
