Ammon's Grand Adventure (21)

In the blink of an eye, Ammon had already been living in Li Anbang's home for two months. To his surprise, after the first day, Li Anbang never again asked him for information about his father or anything else. Instead, he behaved like an ordinary guardian, going to and from work every day and occasionally taking him out during holidays.

During that time, with Li Anbang, a local, helping him, Ammon finally began to understand this world the proper way.

Unlike his previous one-sided understanding based entirely on wishful thinking, Li Anbang had provided him with a whole set of kindergarten-level introductory readers. Although Ammon found them absurdly childish, he still read every single book carefully.

Of course, during that process, he also made time to read mythological works such as the Bible, the Homeric Epics, the Divine Comedy, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas. After that... there was no after that.

Although Ammon was not the sort with an excessive moral fixation, he could not help feeling somewhat disillusioned.

What Ammon did not know was that every online search he made, every program he watched on television, and every pause he made while reading was recorded one by one, then turned into a psychological profile through the analysis of professional psychologists.

At home, Ammon had no idea that everything about him was under observation. The inspiration of "Half a Thief" was not enough for him to sense the surveillance cameras watching him.

He appeared to be casually browsing the web, but in his heart, he was planning a new escape.

Yes, he still wanted to run.

Although there was no danger in a policeman's home and he seemed able to live normally as the man's adopted son, he still had no intention of staying here for long.
