Jian Jing wanted to return the way she came, but her path was blocked by raging mes. This misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as upon entering the fire zone, the system immediately issued an escape mission, allowing her to use the x-ray device.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Guided by the advanced technology, she quickly found Ji Feng and Yu Can.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
They both looked terrible.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yu Can''s right arm was dislocated, hanging unnaturally, and the fingers on his left hand were twisted and deformed. He was pinned to the ground, with a fallen knife beside him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The knife wasn''t long, with a narrow de, but it was covered in blood.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Ji Feng was leaning against the wall on his side, his left hand clutching his chest to minimize blood loss. His right hand held Yu Can''s wrist behind his back, while his knee pressed firmly against Yu Can''s lower back, preventing him from getting up.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yu Can was still struggling.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He seemed to know that Ji Feng couldn''t hold out much longer, constantly arching his back. But each struggle inevitably consumed a great deal of energy and tore at his vital wounds.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing drew her gun and aimed it at Yu Can''s head. "Get up."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Don''t," Ji Feng said, each word causing his lungs and heart to tremble with pain. "I''ve already... he can''t resist... don''t..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Police can''t shoot at criminals who have already been subdued.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing couldn''t use force against a dangerous individual who no longer had the ability to resist.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
This wouldn''t qualify as self-defense; if not handled carefully, it could be considered manughter.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Ji Feng said, "Take... cough... him away."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing red at him, walked over, and lifted the first aid kit, smashing it against Yu Can''s head.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The impact to the back of his head immediately made him dizzy and disoriented. Hey motionless on the ground, stunned.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
On the other side of the fire door, the intense mes were already beginning to warp the metal.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing hoisted Ji Feng onto her back and retreated as quickly as possible. Blood soaked her clothes, sticking mmily to her skin, with warm streams flowing down her spine.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She had never run so fast before. Upon reaching the outside, she immediately set him down and took out a tourniquet to bandage him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Ji Feng said, "Didn''t hit... vital organs... Yu Can, bring him out."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Wouldn''t it be better to let him die in there?" she asked angrily.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He smiled, "People can... run... there''s... a back door."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Death was eptable, escape was not.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing roughly stuffed gauze into his wound. Seeing the blood flow significantly decrease, she ran back inside, filled with fury. As expected, Yu Can hadn''t given up hope and was staggering towards the exit, supporting himself against the wall.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She didn''t bother with words, picking up a stone she found and aiming at his legs.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yu Can was hit in the back of his knees and stumbled to the ground.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Thick smoke was approaching, and the old fire door could no longer hold. Bright mes were constantly pushing outward.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
To be honest, Jian Jing hesitated for a moment.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Wouldn''t it be better to let him die in the fire?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Those people he had killed, those lives wasted, those victims whose lives had ended for no reason - wouldn''t it be good to let him experience their pain?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But in the end, she didn''t do it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She understood why Ji Feng had stopped her from shooting.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
-- Don''t be someone who takes lives in the name of justice.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
This wasn''t for some lofty reason, not for the greatness of thew or the justice of due process. These things, while correct, were too broad and abstract.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The real reason was simple.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Legal judgment can remove personal guilt.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
To date, Jian Jing had sent countless criminals to prison, some of whom had already been executed. But she never cared about their deaths; if she heard about it, she might even curse, saying they deserved it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But for those who died by her own hands... even for heinous criminals like Wang Shi or Qi Tian, no matter how much she tried to convince herself they deserved it, the moment she acted, the scar remained forever in her heart.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Don''t add more burdens to yourself.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
If you can avoid killing someone, don''t kill them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing took a deep breath, grabbed Yu Can by the cor, and dragged him out of the raging fire, throwing him heavily onto the snowy ground.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The snow had already fallen so heavily.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
In the depths of night, everything was a vast expanse of white.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing rushed to Ji Feng''s side; he had already closed his eyes. She quickly went over and patted his face. "Hey, you can''t... Ji Feng?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
At that moment, her intuition had already told her what had happened, but Jian Jingpletely ignored it, reaching out to feel his neck.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
There was no pulse.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Ji Feng watched Jian Jing disappear into the fire zone.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
It''s strange, isn''t it? Due tock of oxygen, the brain''s processing speed for information slowed down considerably. The scenes he saw couldn''t be transmitted to his brain; all he could see were shadows and stars.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But he knew clearly that Jian Jing had left.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He let out a sigh of relief.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
With that sigh, his tightly held spirit instantly dispersed, his consciousness plunging rapidly, falling all the way to the bottom of the abyss.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Ji Feng had experienced severe injuries twice before. He knew that when a person first receives an injury, losing consciousness isn''t necessarily a bad thing. It proves that the body is protecting itself, discarding unnecessary functions and concentrating all its energy on maintaining life.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But he had held on, preventing his body from protecting itself. He had fought with Yu Can, escaped from the fire, subdued Yu Can, and even tricked Jian Jing into leaving.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The potential of life had been exhausted, like a snowball that had grown toorge, now impossible to stop.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
So, even though he knew it didn''t matter if she didn''t go after Yu Can, that he couldn''t run far, Ji Feng still used this excuse to send Jian Jing away.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Otherwise, should he let her watch him die?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
What was the point?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He had no intention of dying in the arms of his loved one, nor did he want to leave behind words of regret for the living.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Don''t be sad for me, it''s not worth it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Jian Jing immediately began emergency treatment, but as soon as she pried open his hand, she suddenly fell silent.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
You can''t perform CPR on an external chest wound.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Should she draw a medical card to treat him? There was nothing here, and even if she could draw a special card, with such massive blood loss, where would she find blood bags for transfusion?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But now his heart had stopped beating. She couldn''t just do nothing, could she?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, deciding to clear his airway and try to make an incision in his trachea.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
There was a surgical de in the first aid kit.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She located the trachea and carefully cut a small slit to allow air into the lungs.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But after one or two seconds, she remembered that he probably had more than just the chest wound from the sharp object. After checking, she confirmed that there was also a gunshot wound on his back.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Judging from the position, it was in the lung.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
And it wasn''t a through-and-through wound; the bullet was still in his lung.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing hadn''t felt such a strong sense of despair in a long time, but she held back her emotions, maximized herposure card, and thought calmly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
In the worst-case scenario, Ji Feng had stopped breathing as soon as she entered, which was now over two minutes ago.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
If she could perform CPR, there might still be hope to save him, but now with his lung injury and obstructed airway, there was no way to proceed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The only way... the only...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She took a deep breath, trying not to overthink, and took out the root from her storage space.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
This wasn''t the root that Qi Tian had sacrificed on the World Cruise Liner -- back on the fishing boat, she had held a knife to the throat of the 3Q chairman''s daughter with one hand, and with the other, lit a lighter and burned the root to ashes right in front of them, grinding the bones to dust.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

But back in Twilight Town, Qi Tian, disguised as little Frank, had cut off a section of the root and tricked Jian Jing into eating it.

Then, the finger-sized root began to grow slowly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Unlike the explosive growth on the cruise ship, this root grew slowly and robustly, like a thriving seedling, thick, shiny, and moist, reminiscent of tropical rainforest leaves saturated with water, giving the impression of particrly pleasing growth.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But this was precisely what made it wrong.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Newborn babies are always bumping into things, easily ufortable here and there, extremely fragile. But wouldn''t it be frightening if someone''s baby was born plump and sturdy, resistant to falls, epting all food without fussiness, never getting diarrhea, rolling over at three months, sitting up at six months, and speaking English within half a year?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
This root was just like that, growing too well, making one''s skin crawl.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

The tip of the root probed the damaged flesh, seemingly realizing this was a body highly suitable for parasitism. Its vigor immediately surged, swiftly and deftly burrowing into the skin and flesh, repairing the damaged organs.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jian Jing stared intently at its movements.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Previously, she had been too focused on resenting Qi Tian for cheating, and hadn''t paid close attention to it. Now, looking again, she made a different discovery: the root was unexpectedly "intelligent". It initially started repairing the wound on the skin, but quickly realized this organ wasn''t the most important.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The heart and lungs were crucial.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
So, it immediately changed direction and began repairing the damaged arteries and ventricles.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
