A Sudden Plot Twist (Part 2)

"You can't expect a chaotic creature with a brain full of mush to have any correct understanding of the human body when transcoding. If it weren't for the embryo born from that monster, she might have manifested six legs for herself..."

Bruce carefully observed the little girl's face and discovered that not only little girl teeth, but also her eyes, although blue like his, had vertical pupils, just like the original Parallax.

Bruce took another deep breath; he felt his worldview had been shaken.

But as Schiller said, things had come to this point, and a solution had to be found. He asked, "If she were living in human society, what would happen to her sharp teeth?"

"It's congenital, she's just too young to be corrected. Is it really that hard to find a dentist with impeccable ethics to give her a diagnosis of dental malformation?"

"Okay, but what about the eyes?"

"Heterochromia iridis, find Doctor with impeccable ethics..."

"Okay, I understand." Bruce interrupted Schiller, looking at the little girl with a strange feeling in addition to the shock of his worldview being challenged.

When people see a child who looks almost exactly like themselves, the protective instinct for offspring ingrained in human genes rises, and Bruce is no exception.

"Take it easy. Even if she creates a lot of new problems for you in the future, at least she can solve one urgent problem for you now, which is the mental state of your butler Alfred."

"You've mentioned more than once before that Alfred's emotional state is depressed because he's too concerned about your situation. We've discussed how to get him to transfer his affections to you, and obviously, an illegitimate daughter without a mother would be a good choice..."

"Even if I were to raise her, she would still be an adopted daughter."

"Okay, no problem, an adopted daughter who looks about 80% like you."

Bruce pursed his lips; at least when it came to his appearance, he was in a situation he couldn't clear his name no matter what.

Bruce recalled Alfred's overly excited state that morning and felt that this couldn't go on.

With no other option but to try anything, Bruce took the little girl home.

When Alfred saw the little girl who looked almost exactly like Bruce, his butler smashed the plate he was holding.

Just as Bruce was preparing a long speech to persuade Alfred suddenly took the little girl from his arms and said, "Have the legal issues been resolved, young master? If there are difficulties in winning custody, I think we can..."

"Wait, Alfred, this isn't..."

"I understand, I understand, young master. A passionate youthful pleasure, an accident, a heartbroken mother, an innocent illegitimate daughter..."

"But that's okay, we can simply give this wonderful mother a sum of money and then say she's your deceased ex-wife, so the child won't suffer any reputational damage..."

"I..." Bruce choked up. Clearly, in just a few seconds, Alfred had completed the entire story and even made preparations for the aftermath.

"What's her name?" Alfred asked, looking into Bruce's eyes.

Bruce saw a long-lost hope and expectation in his eyes. He remained silent for a long time, but in the end he did not tell the Truth. Instead, he said in a low voice, "Aisha... her name is Aisha."

"Aisha, it's a good name..." Alfred's Adam's apple bobbed. Bruce saw his eyes redden. Alfred lowered his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Young Master... oh, no... Master, I really didn't expect you to be willing to bring Miss back. I thought you..."

Bruce took a deep breath, and in that instant, he saw that Alfred had aged considerably; his once straight back had become somewhat hunched, and Bruce lowered his head as well.

"Aaaaaaah!!"

Aisha, nestled in Alfred's arms, suddenly cried out. The old butler looked down at Aisha's teeth and said, "Good heavens! Miss's teeth are a little crooked. Oh right, she's too young to get braces, but it's alright, she can see a dentist in a few years..."

At the same time, Alfred also noticed Aisha's unusual eyes and said, "Is this heterochromia iridis? Is it inherited from his mother? What a poor little thing..."

Bruce's explanation was cut short. Alfred, teasing Aisha, said with some doubt, "This child should be almost four years old, right? Why can't she talk yet? And her expression seems a bit..."

"Could it be childhood autism? This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. I need to check my phone book to see if I can find Doctor reliable Psychiatry Department..."

"I know a good Doctor ..." Bruce said to Alfred, his tone somewhat stiff, "That's my Psychology Professor at university, Schiller Rodriguez ..."

"Really? That's wonderful! How about we invite this professor over sometime? Oh! I think tomorrow will do. I'll call and make an appointment now. I don't think it's his 'do not disturb' time, is it?"

Bruce mechanically shook his head and said, "No."

Alfred gently placed Aisha back in Bruce's arms and said, "Sir, companionship is very important in parent-child relationships, especially since Miss may have autism. Her parents need to be more patient in guiding her. I think you will do a great job..."

Bruce glanced down at Aisha, Aisha gave him another terrifying grin with a mouthful of sharp teeth. Bruce sighed, closed his eyes, and said, "... I'll do my best."

An hour later, Bruce held the phone and said into the receiver, "Selene! Come quick! I need your help, come over here..."

Half an hour later, Selene stared wide-eyed at the little girl who looked about 80% like Bruce. Then she walked up to Bruce, slapped him across the face, and angrily turned and left.

Bruce grabbed her arm and said, "Selene, it's not what you think. Let me explain..."

Half an hour later, Selene crossed her arms and looked at Bruce with suspicion, saying, "Bruce, if I didn't know you and knew you couldn't possibly come up with such an imaginative story for an illegitimate daughter, I would have slapped you again and told you you could go write fantasy novels..."

Suddenly, Selene gave a strange look and said, "So, does that mean she was born from you?"

After saying that, her beautiful big eyes looked down and landed on Bruce's lower abdomen. Selene gave a teasing smile.

Bruce turned to Aisha and said helplessly, "This is not the time to discuss her origins. I never imagined that interacting with a child would be so..."

Selene sensed a deep sense of helplessness in his tone, but she said in a rather lighthearted manner, "I heard Maggie say that children are the cutest things in the world, and that marrying and having children with the person you love is Maggie's lifelong goal. It shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

Half an hour later, Selene and Bruce sat together on the edge of the bed, sighing. Selene's once smooth long hair had turned into a bird's nest, and Bruce's hair on his forehead had also stood up.

At that moment, Aisha was biting the bedpost with her sharp teeth, refusing to let go. Bruce grabbed her arm and said, "Get down now, let go of your mouth, okay? Why are you biting it?"

Selene brushed her hair back with her hand, then looked at the row of teeth marks on her arm and said, "You might as well have told me earlier that she was your pet dog that had come to life..."

Her hair fell down, obscuring her eyes, making her look like a crazy woman who went out without combing her hair.

In the past half hour, this young couple, who are still children themselves, have fully experienced why human infants are considered the most terrifying creatures.

First of all, Aisha cannot speak; her way of expressing all her emotions is by yelling and shouting.

You can't call it crying, because she doesn't shed any tears at all. She just screams at various frequencies, and perhaps because she's not just a human, the penetrating power of these screams is terrifying. Even when Bruce carries her to a separate room, Selene can still hear her screams from several bedrooms away.

Secondly, Aisha would put everything within her sight into her mouth, as if her way of identifying all objects in the world was to put them in her mouth and taste them.

Moreover, because she is not simply human, her bite force is astonishing. To put it simply, she bites anyone she can get her hands on and won't let go once she's bitten.

Her sharp teeth made her even more powerful. With a "crack," she bit off a large chunk of the solid wood bedpost. If she hadn't been somewhat rational enough to know not to bite, Bruce and Selene would probably be in the hospital by now.

The most troublesome thing is that this little girl, who was born from a chaotic creature, seems to be completely unable to understand human speech. Bruce even suspects that she doesn't know English at all. Aisha completely ignores all of Bruce's instructions and does whatever she wants, going wherever Aisha wants.

And if Bruce tries to stop her, she will start howling again, and when he puts her down, she will find the nearest object in her line of sight and bite it with a "crunch". Then Bruce and Selene will have to pat her back in a hurry to make her spit out the crumbs.

Bruce is not even twenty years old yet, and neither is Selene. They are both still children themselves. You can imagine how chaotic it would be if they were to take care of another child.

Clearly, this chaotic life has only just begun.

Just to clarify, there's a "Mass Update Festival" event on the 15th, where you can enter a prize draw if you update a lot. So, there should be 10,000 words at midnight on the 15th, and another 10,000 words before midnight. Then, there won't be any more on the 16th.

The update scheduled for the 16th has been moved to the 15th.

Because the author really doesn't have a single word saved up, writing 20,000 words a day is simply impossible, so this is the only way. (sad)
