I stood up and threw away the bloody ashtray in my hand. It hit the concrete floor with a heavy thud. Ignoring the frightened Lu Jinye, I walked to Yan Si's body, picked her up and stood head to head with her. The next second, an almost transparent figure appeared beside me.

Lu Jinye, who was standing by, also saw that the figure was Yan Si.

Yan Si didn't show any excessive sadness or panic after seeing his own corpse. Instead, he looked at me with a smile and calmly accepted his own death: "Oh, I'm dead and now I'm a ghost?"

She looked at me curiously and said, "Are you the Bai Wuchang who came to pick me up? Why do you look about the same age as me?"

After saying this, her figure became more transparent and her figure gradually became unstable.

I reached out and touched her, sending her mental energy. Although it was of no avail, it managed to stabilize her body and prevent her from disappearing on the spot in the next second.

If it was one of my people, they could survive with just this bit of remaining mental power, but Yan Si is not like that. She is just a fragile human being. Facing her only bit of remaining mental power, I feel powerless because I cannot save her. I cannot nourish her mental power. All I can do is maintain her current state for a short period of time. Once the time is up, her mental power will completely dissipate.

I hate humans, but at this moment I can't hide the sadness in my eyes.

Not getting a response from me, Yan Si turned around again and saw Lu Jinye behind her. She even greeted Lu Jinye as if nothing had happened.

I used a stiff and dry voice, imitating human speech, and said to Yan Si: "I am, Jelly Ball, Ball."

This is the first time I've ever acknowledged this silly name.

As soon as I finished speaking, Yan Si and Lu Jinye at the door both looked at me with wide eyes.

Yan Si said, "Wow, is that true? The jelly ball turned into a human. Did it grow up? No, no, it should be evolution, right?"

As she spoke, her tone gradually became sad. She looked at her own body in my arms and murmured, "It's great to grow up. Unfortunately, I will never grow up."

But her loneliness was fleeting. She still blinked her bright eyes and said to me, "But it doesn't matter! Jelly Ball, you can still grow up. If possible, grow up for me and go see this beautiful world!"

I was stunned, but Yan Si's figure was gradually unstable. The time she was about to reach her limit. Finally, she turned to look at Lu Jinye, pointed at his bright smile, and said the last words to him: "And you, Lu Jinye, I'm going to die first. Come find me again in ninety years. This is an agreement. Don't cheat."

That year, Lu Jinye was only ten years old.

No amount of mental strength could maintain Yan Si's figure, and she eventually completely disappeared in front of Lu Jinye and me.

Lu Jinye's shoulders were shaking and he was crying silently.

But he was only a ten-year-old child after all, and the sadness of death and separation made Lu Jinye burst into tears, but a dry voice was heard, stopping Lu Jinye from crying.

"Shut up, it's so noisy."

Just then, a flash of lightning exploded in the sky, and the rain hit the glass with a crackling sound. Lu Jinye subconsciously stopped crying, but still looked at me sobbing.

"Jelly ball, you..."

Lu Jinye wanted to say something, but I interrupted him. My eyes were firm, but I didn't look at Lu Jinye at all. Instead, I looked at Yan Si's body, which was gradually getting colder in my arms, and said, "I don't want to grow up for her. I want her to grow up on her own and see the world in person."

Lu Jinye sobbed and hiccuped, looking at me in confusion. Although he was young, he understood that the dead cannot be resurrected. I couldn't just resurrect Yan Si directly.

I put my forehead against Yan Si's and interlocked my fingers with hers. A strong white light suddenly appeared between our fingers, causing Lu Jinye to instinctively close his eyes and stretch out his hand to block the sudden strong light.

That's right, I cannot resurrect Yan Si, but I can split my soul into two, put the other half of my soul into Yan Si's body, erase all memories of my original body, take over Yan Si's memories, have Yan Si's life, and become Yan Si. From now on, the half of the soul that was separated will no longer be me, Freya, but will live as Yan Si.

At that time, I only thought of this method to prolong Yan Si's existence.

The other half of my soul will remain in my body. I will seal off the memory of the orphanage. From now on, I will not remember that I had ever been friends with Yan Si and Lu Jinye, two human children.

But I retain the painful memories of the time I spent in the laboratory. Although after this period of time, I know that there are good people among humans, they are only a minority. Those painful memories constantly remind me of the ugliness and filthiness of humans, because I still have the mission of protecting the Mother Tree and reviving my people.

After the white light disappeared, Lu Jinye opened his eyes and moved his hand away, and saw Yan Si being picked up and placed next to him.

Lu Jinye hurriedly picked up Yan Si, only to find that the wound on her forehead had healed, and she could even hear a faint breathing sound.

Lu Jinye was overjoyed. He had never expected that Yan Si was actually alive.

"Listen, although the other half of my soul is inside Yan Si now, she has completely accepted Yan Si's memories. This is Yan Si's new soul."

"She is the real Yan Si."

"I will leave soon and will never meet you again, nor will I remember you again, but you must remember that if she wants to come to me in the future, stop her."

"Otherwise, Yan Si will no longer be Yan Si, and she will completely lose herself."

The voice was dry and weak, as if all his energy had just been exhausted.

After explaining everything to Lu Jinye, I dragged my heavy body out of the room and walked into the rain.

Lu Jinye stammered. The shock to him was too great for such a small boy. Although he didn't understand some of the words I said, he knew clearly that Yan Si was saved.

He carried Yan Si on his back with difficulty, walked out of the dean's office, and shouted to the white figure in the rain outside the corridor: "I will always protect Yan Si! Goodbye, Jelly Ball!"

My figure paused, and I really wanted to turn around and tell Lu Jinye that my real name was Freya, but I didn't have one after all. I wouldn't remember either of them anyway, so there was no need to worry about the existence of a name.

My figure quickly disappeared in the rainy night and from Lu Jinye's eyes.

I followed the connection to find the mother tree, and some memories in my mind gradually became blurred. I wiped the rain off my face, but it was soon washed away by new rain.

Ah, never mind.

Yan Si, you must grow up and see this world for yourself.
