"Tell me, what do you want to keep? As long as it is something I can do, I will do my best to help you."

Rockoff said softly, "All the notes and materials in my room, if she finds them, please give them to her for me." After he said that, he thought about it again, and then regretted it and said, "Let's not take them..."

Hearing Rockefeller's sudden change of heart, the clan leader asked curiously, "Why? Don't you want her to know?"

"Isn't it better not to let her know?" Rockefeller scratched his dwindling hair and said, "Maybe she can grow up as an ordinary person and never have to get involved in our disputes again..."

"But you have no right to deprive her of the right to know the truth." The clan leader looked at Rockefeller calmly and said, "Perhaps she wants to know? She wants to know her origins and past. No one wants to live in deception all their lives."

Hearing this, Rockoff was silent for a long time. He finally nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then leave it to her. And... I want to ask you something."

"You said."

"My soul will return here after I die, right?"

"Correct."

"Then..." Rockoff hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I leave her a memory or image of me?"

Hearing Rockoff's request, the clan leader thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, what do you want to leave for her?"

"My memory, maybe she can find all the answers she wants to know here."

"Okay, I'll help you." After the chief said that, he found that Rockoff hugged him again to keep warm. He said softly, "Let's go. It's too cold here."

With Rockoff's consent, the patriarch pushed his wheelchair out of the cave step by step, and the little sun above the cave was completely extinguished after they left.

The chief pushed him along the mountain road. He thought of what Rockefeller had just said and asked curiously, "From what you said, you don't plan to let her grow up here?"

Rockoff shook his head: "I want her to see the outside world. Just like you said, she also has the right to choose a different life, right? And..." He took out the pocket watch that he had been keeping on his chest. He opened the pocket watch and saw a photo on it. In the photo, a young man was holding a snow-white tiger cub. He was showing a row of white teeth and showing an extremely bright smile.

"I believe that she might take a path that is more suitable for her."

The clan leader understood, and asked, "Do you want her to become a beastmaster?"

"Well, I won't join the Beast Tamer Army, I'll just be a free Beast Tamer. Isn't that cool?"

The patriarch had no idea what kind of picture was appearing in Rockoff's mind, so he continued, "Yeah, that's cool."

When Rockoff heard the patriarch's praise, he also showed a proud expression.

The patriarch seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He asked, "She's going to be born next week. Why don't you give her a name first?"

"Oh, that's right..." Upon hearing this, Rockoff immediately sat up straight and fell into deep distress.

His mind worked quickly when it came to experiments, but he had no idea when it came to naming a child.

The clan leader saw that his facial features were immediately tightened, as if he was in great distress. The clan leader was afraid that he would think too much and go back to look up the dictionary day and night, so he immediately interrupted and said: "In fact, it is easier to raise a child if you give him a more ordinary name. Just think of a simpler name."

"Simplify it?" Hearing this, Rockoff's frown slowly relaxed. His fingers tapped on the armrests of the wheelchair, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound. The patriarch did not say anything to interrupt Rockoff's thoughts. The cold winter wind whistled past, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

When the wind died down, the patriarch waved his hand to disperse the transparent wall made of sunlight.

After a long while, Rockoff suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly, "I figured it out!"

The patriarch lowered his head patiently and asked, "What did you think of?"

"Do you know that there was a very powerful emperor in the history of the ancient Blue Star?" Rockoff turned his head slightly to look at the patriarch. His eyes were bright, and his pupils were no longer cloudy.

"Hmm... do you want to talk about Ying Zheng? Li Shimin? Or Wu Zetian? Or... someone else?"

"Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng." Rockoff gestured with his hands and said, "He was the first person to unify the country."

The patriarch knew this person, but he didn't understand why Rockoff mentioned him at this time.

Rockoff was in high spirits, and his whole body was in an excited state. He said, "Isn't he also called Qin Shi Huang? I want Eve to have the same name! I also want her to be able to rule the beast world in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the clan leader was somewhat surprised and asked: "Doesn't she have your last name? She is your child..."

"No, although she is my child, I am an orphan myself. My last name has no meaning, so there is no need for her to have the same last name as me." Rockoff never used to worry about meaning, but now, he is like a father who wants his child to have a good life and tries to add good meaning to her name.

He didn't wait for the clan leader to speak, and muttered to himself: "The simpler the name, the easier it is to raise the child... She is Eve, the ninth experimental subject..." Rockefeller pondered for a moment and immediately came up with an answer: "Let's call her Qin Jiu! What do you think?"

The clan leader chuckled and said, "As long as you like it, I think it's good. Many people here use numbers as names. Some because the number is a lucky number for the child, and some to commemorate some special days. Nine... is good, very good."

"Yes..." Rockford paused, with a hint of melancholy beneath his joy: "In fact, we have tried to conduct experiments at the same time, but we found that only when the previous experimental subject dies can the next experimental subject grow normally. If the previous experimental subject is still in the thriving growth period, the next experimental subject will die due to various problems. Nine... I also want her to remember that she has eight older sisters before her. It is because of their sacrifices that she finally succeeded."

The clan leader nodded, his voice blending into the wind: "It's a very meaningful name..."

Rockoff shook off his worries. He was very satisfied with the name he had chosen. He kept smiling, obviously still immersed in great joy.

The figure that had been following the two of them seemed to be frozen in place, standing alone under the scorching sun and being baptized by the strong wind.

Compared to the strong wind, the feeling of her heart falling into the ice cellar made her feel even colder all over.

Qin Jiu, Eve, experimental subject...

It turns out that she is not a human being. She is just an experimental subject created artificially because of paranoia...

She is - the domineering stand-in!
