Find the children in the orphanage.
Take them with you to truly escape from that terrible laboratory.
Even as a big monster..
Lu Xin is very sure that the most important thing in the message Mom left for him is this meaning.
This made his mood a little complicated.
He originally wanted to find the children in the orphanage, and that hasn't changed.
Whether it's because of guilt, longing, obsession, or anything else, we must find them.
It was precisely because he had always had such an idea that he had asked No. 8 to find the whereabouts of other people.
But I want to get it back, just to get it back.
But in the information left by Mom, it seems that there are other secrets about these children. Could it be that the kind of fervor in Old Director, which even Mom couldn't see through but felt the terrifying fanaticism, was related to the remaining children in the orphanage?
After a while, Lu Xin gently rubbed his face.
His eyes swept over his sister, Little Nineteen, and even Number Fourteen who had a mouth full of food.
Inside, I felt slightly relieved.
After a while, he asked Number Fourteen: "Old Director..."
At this point, he paused.
A certain feeling of caution, fear, and resentment made him reluctant to use the name Old Director.
However, when the words came to my lips, this title always popped up.
After a slight pause, he simply shook his head and said calmly, "Old Director, have you done anything to you?"
Since Mom said that she would find the child in the orphanage for herself, she even helped her find one.
Then, there must be some secrets in these children.
Lu Xin didn't ask Little Nineteen because she was too young. She was young when she left the orphanage and had not grown up in all these years. Some of Black Table's experiments left indelible traces on her body. When he hugged her, Lu Xin could feel that she now had severe psychological trauma, many problems, and no way to communicate.
The Number Fourteen in front of you should be the most reliable one.
Relatively speaking the most reliable.
After all, he was the one who brought him the information about Mom. Mom was the first to find him. I don't know if there is any deeper meaning.
"I don't know."
But facing Lu Xin's expectant eyes, Number Fourteen shook his head without hesitation.
"He just rescued us and abandoned us one by one..."
"..."
Lu Xin was slightly startled, feeling that he seemed to be telling the truth.
Because if there really was anything, they should have told themselves when they met No. 8 and No. 2, right?
"But..."
Just when Lu Xin was deep in thought, Number Fourteen, who seemed to only know how to eat, suddenly stopped stuffing chicken legs into his mouth. His eyes flickered and his expression seemed to become a little strange, and he said to Lu Xin:
"If you think about it carefully, it's indeed a bit strange."
"As far as I know about our Old Director, he is a person who has a firm goal and pursues efficiency very much."
"But after what happened, he rescued us one by one and then abandoned us..."
"Don't you think it's a waste of time?"
"..."
Lu Xin's heart moved slightly and he looked up at Number Fourteen.
This is an issue that is often overlooked, but it seems that it is indeed a critical issue.
Yes, Old Director rescued several of the children back then.
However, now it seems that except for No. 7, none of the people he rescued stayed by his side to help him.
So, he rescued these people because he could only save so many.
Or was it just because these few had other uses that they were rescued?
The latter was obviously more in line with Old Director's character, but he let these people go.
Suddenly, there was a sudden tremor in my heart, and I quickly asked, "Back then, what did he do to you after you left?"
"Nothing was done..."
Number Fourteen silently picked up a sea-caught prawn with two large pincers, but did not stuff it into his mouth.
He held the two large pliers in his hand and said slowly:
"We were rescued at different times and in different places, so I don't know who was brought back from death by him... Maybe No. 7 and No. 8 know that one of them has been following Old Director, and the other was rescued quite early."
"Anyway, what I know is that after we were rescued, we followed Old Director for a while..."
"During that time..."
"..."
"Brother Jiu, you are lucky."
He suddenly looked at Lu Xin and said with a smile, "You don't know that Old Director has such a scary side..."
"After leaving the orphanage, his temper was different from before."
"I once saw with my own eyes that he turned a large gathering point that was almost High Wall City into a fanatical sect member in just one week. Even the old, young, women and children inside dared to go to the battlefield with guns and fight for him..."
"Those people worship him to the point of going crazy, and he can let these people die without hesitation..."
"He is just an ordinary person, but it seems like there is a devil living inside..."
"..."
When he said this, he paused slightly, and then whispered, "And after we left the orphanage, we rarely had a place to settle down, and the people around us never gathered together again. Everyone is different from when we were in the orphanage. Some people tried to resist him, but it was of no use. Some people tried desperately to please him... It was also of no use..."
"Of course, more people, maybe including me, just want to escape from him forever..."
"..."
Speaking of this, a hint of gloom seemed to flash across his fat face.
"But it's no use."
After a pause, he said, "But gradually, we all got separated."
"Some were abandoned by Old Director, and some took the initiative to apply to leave, but he did not refuse."
"In those few years, it seemed like he suddenly softened and let us go."
"But..."
"..."
He paused, his face suddenly tightened, and he lowered his voice and said, "I've always had a feeling..."
"Old Director has been watching us."
"No matter where we hide, no matter where we hide, always watching us..."
"Including now!"
"..."
"Uh-huh!"
Number Fourteen's words suddenly made Lu Xin's hair stand up slightly.
He didn't know if this was Number Fourteen's old habit of scaring people again, or if he was showing a rare hint of true feelings.
He only felt that at this moment, his body was slightly hairy.
Subconsciously, he closed his eyes slightly and carefully sensed his surroundings, but found nothing.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Kid looking around curiously, with a confused expression on his face.
My sister and Little Nineteen, on the other hand, were clearly a little scared and subconsciously moved closer to me.
Number Fourteen After finishing those words, he began to lower his head in silence and eat.
It seemed that his stomach was very bloated, but he kept eating and stuffing it into his mouth.
Number Fourteen's words seemed to open the valve of fear in everyone's heart.
Lu Xin didn't feel the kind of gaze he mentioned.
But what he didn't want to admit was that he seemed to feel that way from time to time...
After all, I have been forced to go through six trials...
Old Director How did he think that he was so dead? Could it be that he had been watching him?
In this slightly depressing atmosphere, Lu Xin took a long while before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whatever?"
He whispered, "After so many years, there really should be a result, right?"
After listening to his words, Number Fourteen stopped eating for a moment, did not speak, and continued to eat with his head down.
Little Nineteen and his sister approached him, one on the left and the other on the right. The sister gently grabbed his hand, as if to encourage him. Looking down at his sister, Lu Xin suddenly felt an inexplicable movement in his heart and thought of a very critical question...
Today, I understand almost everything that happened to me in the past.
Even including Mom and his father.
One is a monitor placed by a generation of researchers around him, and the other uses fear to suppress his own existence.
But...
... How did my sister come here, and how did she appear next to me?
In fact, I have asked this question many times.
Even before he was recruited by Qinggang Special Purity Department, when he began to wonder why there were three invisible family members around him, he kept asking, because Mom and his father always gave people a mysterious sense of oppression, and they were also tight-lipped. He could only ask his sister, but her sister's answer was the same every time, and she really didn't know what was going on.
The only thing she is better than herself is that she has long seen that the identity of Mom and her father is not simple.
Alas...
"Get the person you used to be back!"
In this slightly silent room, Lu Xin said slowly:
"Before, I had asked No. 8 to find my former partner."
"Although he didn't tell me in detail at the time, I could feel that he at least knew the location of one or two people..."
"This is reasonable. After all, he is the only one who will visit his old classmates after leaving."
"..."
Hearing this, Number Fourteen glanced at Lu Xin slightly and said, "Are you really sure you want to find those people?"
It can be seen that Number Fourteen seems to be somewhat resistant.
But Lu Xin thought about it, nodded, and said, "Yes, even if I am the only one who goes there..."
"Okay."
Unexpectedly, Number Fourteen nodded and sipped his fingers without even waiting for him to finish.
There was a smiling expression on the fat face:
"I'll help you find it."
"..."
Lu Xin was a little surprised by Number Fourteen's attitude change, but found that he still looked a little out of shape.
But this sentence is still quite serious.
On both sides of the body, my sister and Little Nineteen also nodded to express their attitudes.
Especially Little Nineteen, gently raised his hand.
The table knife that fell to the ground in the distance suddenly flew into her hand and was held by her backhand.
The blade was raised, and a sharp light flashed in the dim room.
This cowardly and timid little girl began to feel a sense of danger as soon as she held the knife.
On the other side, Kid, who was a little further away from them but in the absolute master's capacity, also nodded seriously.
An expression of responsibility.
But this makes Lu Xin slightly embarrassed. This matter has nothing to do with Kid, and it wouldn't be good to involve her...
But she seemed to be trying very hard to participate, so how could I tell her?
It was also at this moment that a mysterious phone call suddenly rang in the intelligence collection department of Qinggang Special Purity Department.
Han Bing, who had been transferred to this department as the work of the individual soldiers was relatively loose, immediately answered the phone. No one spoke, only a sound with a strange frequency sounded, tapping gently, and lasted for a while.
Han Bing quickly recorded something on the paper, and his face gradually became a little ugly.
She hung up the phone, immediately picked up another one, and said, "Pick me up to Professor Bai's office."
"I have something important to report."
