Chapter 67 Decision

Tang Xiaoxue's address is not difficult to find, and she lives in a residential area three streets away from Yi Ange's hometown.

Yi Ange looked at the familiar scenery around him and felt a little absurd.They used to live so close, but Yi Ange didn't know such a person existed until now, and he didn't even know what Tang Xiaoxue looked like. Thirty years have passed, and she is probably already a wife and mother. I am afraid that visiting her home like this will disturb her stable and peaceful life.

But he had to go, for the sake of Jing Rong, and also for the puzzles left to them by his parents.

The residential buildings are very close to each other, and both sides of the path leading to each doorway are full of small green flower beds, with a warm atmosphere unique to the residential area.Yi Ange followed the address to find the building where Tang Xiaoxue lived, and stopped at the entrance of the corridor.

Tang Xiaoxue lives in the house on the right hand side on the first floor. The windows with guardrails are closed tightly, so it is impossible to tell if anyone is at home.

Today is a working day, and I haven't been in contact with ordinary people for a long time. Yi Ange even forgot the normal people's routine from [-] am to [-] pm.Tang Xiaoxue works as an accountant in a private company, so her working hours should be relatively regular.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave a note or something, a woman's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Excuse me, please."

Yi Ange turned around and saw a woman in her 30s standing behind her, holding a shopping bag in her hand.

The woman's expression was very calm, as if she was looking at an ordinary passerby.Her facial features are very beautiful, and even as she grows older, she can't conceal her introverted beauty. Yi Ange can see some familiar traces on her nose bridge and lips. He never thought that after so many years, Tang Xiaoxue's His appearance didn't change much.

He didn't move, and Tang Xiaoxue didn't rush to rush, but just waited quietly, with a polite and elegant attitude.

After a while, Yi Ange suddenly realized and took a step back.Tang Xiaoxue nodded to him, said thank you softly, and walked into the corridor with her shopping bag in hand.

Yi Ange's gaze followed her back uncontrollably.

Tang Xiaoxue didn't seem to mind being stared at by him, she calmly took out the key from her bag to open the door, and looked back at Yi Ange with a gentle expression.

"Come in?"

Yi Ange froze for a moment, then nodded hurriedly.

"Xiaoxue... aunt."

In terms of seniority, she was of the same generation as her father, so Yi Ange subconsciously called her by her first name, and quickly added a title.

I don't know whether Tang Xiaoxue is satisfied with this title, she just smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved into a beautiful arc.

Tang Xiaoxue's home is as clean and warm as hers. The decorations in the living room are mostly in warm colors. She opened the curtains to let the sun shine in. After a while, the whole room felt full of warmth.

Tang Xiaoxue asked Yi Ange to sit first, and went to the kitchen to pour tea by herself.Yi Ange sat on the sofa and looked around, and found that there was no trace of other people's lives in this room.

He took the warm tea and said carefully, "You... live alone?"

Tang Xiaoxue sat opposite him, took a sip of tea, and nodded, "You don't need to say honorifics to me, Ah Guang probably doesn't want you to be so polite to me."

Yi Ange couldn't control his shaking when he heard his grandfather's name.

Tang Xiaoxue lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "Ah Guang said that I only have one father, so I only call him by his first name."

"You remember."

It's not that Yi Ange didn't think about this possibility, it's just that she said it calmly, which gave him a sense of unreality.

He moved his body a little uncomfortably, and his usually bright mouth now didn't know what to say, "Long time no see" or "How are you doing recently"?Do you want to ask her if she still had contact with Grandpa until his deathbed?Ask her if she still remembers the details of her childhood, and if she knows what happened to her father?

As if seeing through his full of doubts, Tang Xiaoxue pulled the drooping hair behind her ears, and said with a smile, "Ask slowly, and I will tell you everything I know."

"How are you?"

After much deliberation, Yi Ange still wanted to be the first to ask this question.

Tang Xiaoxue nodded, "I'm fine."

It seems that what she suffers from is indeed not an incurable disease, it was so difficult back then only because she had no money.

The second question, "How much do you remember about the past?"

"Mostly," she said, "I remember being taken by Aguang to hide in the air-raid shelter, and before that, intermittently, I don't remember clearly."

According to her, for many years after growing up, she has been trying to wear all the previous memory fragments, but has not been successful.Yi Mingguang always said to let nature take its course, and later she was relieved, and only kept all the memories firmly in her heart, waiting for a certain day in the future to tell him all of them.

It's just that the age is too long, and children's memories can easily be tampered with by themselves. Now Tang Xiaoxue is not sure whether those memories related to the laboratory and the strange man in white are real.

It would be great if Jing Rong was here at this time.While listening to her statement, Yi Ange thought that Jing Rong could always solve the problems that they couldn't.

In the initial timeline, Zhou Min found Tang Huang, who was at a loss for medical expenses. He did not know what agreement they had reached. Not long after, Tang Xiaoxue was taken into a certain building in the base, and she never left. Went out until Yi Ange rescued her who sneaked away.

"That Zhou Mincai, did he also conduct experiments with you?"

"Yes." Tang Xiaoxue said, "He is the original experimental subject, and he has the highest status among all the people."

"What experiment?"

Tang Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were stained with a trace of gray.

"There are many," she took another sip of tea, and said softly, "I belong to the drug experiment, some people are catalyzed by supernatural powers, and there are also experimental subjects who provide blood samples for them. Zhou Mincai's experiment is confidential, I only know Every once in a while, he's in a bad state of mind."

"about how long?"

Tang Xiaoxue shook her head.Young children who are seriously ill have no concept of time, and Yi Ange doesn't want to embarrass her on this point.

He leaned over and patted Tang Xiaoxue's hand symbolically, "Now I want to ask a question about Tang Huang."

His cautious appearance made Tang Xiaoxue laugh, she smiled and said, "You can ask."

"Is there any special relationship between him and Zhou Mincai?"

Of course, this kind of relationship does not refer to a lover relationship, but something deeper, such as blood relationship.

Tang Xiaoxue looked at him in surprise, nodded for a while, "Ah Guang said, they are distant cousins."

really.

Yi Ange always felt that something was wrong before, but thinking about it now, the biggest problem was that Tang Huang trusted Zhou Mincai too much, even beyond the point of rushing to the doctor when he was in a hurry.

"My father seems to trust him very much." Tang Xiaoxue frowned, "I remember the only few times I saw them talking face to face, and my father seemed very happy. Maybe I was overwhelmed, maybe...he just I am happy that my disease can be cured."

But from the look on her face, she knew that she definitely didn't think she was thinking too much.

"What guess do you have?" Yi Ange clasped his hands tightly, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

"..."

Tang Xiaoxue stood up and looked out the window.It was sunny outside, and there were children playing in the community park not far away, and innocent laughter came from afar.

She folded her arms, leaving Yi Ange a back view.

"My father had a crush."

"Before I got sick, he was a university teacher. He didn't earn much money but enough to spend. At that time, there was a student who would always come to eat at home. I don't remember his appearance and name, but I only remember him at the dinner table. He sat very close to his father."

Tang Xiaoxue's voice was no longer calm, but with an imperceptible tremor, Yi Ange unconsciously held his breath.

"When I was sick, there was an accident at school. The student came once when my father was still working. They had a long argument in the room, and I never saw him again. I was sick, and it cost a lot of money. Father Unable to bear the pressure from the school and resigned, Zhou Mincai showed up not long after the family's savings were exhausted."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Before I was 20, I didn't know what those things meant. I didn't figure it out until a long time later, but it's no longer useful."

Yi Ange listened quietly without interrupting.

Tang Xiaoxue took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, walked back and sat down, "I think that Zhou Min's expression that he occasionally showed is very similar to that student."

"You mean they are also related by blood?"

"No," Tang Xiaoxue shook her head firmly, "I think they are the same person."

Yi Ange opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what she meant.

Why would Tang Huang trust a distant relative who seemed unreliable, even sending his daughter into their medical experiment?Because at that time, what Zhou Min had in his body was the soul of the person he liked.

The price Tang Huang paid to make up for the time and space disorder was probably not the first time the soul swap experiment was successful, otherwise he would never be sure that he would be able to pay enough to save his daughter.

After figuring this out, many clues were automatically linked together, making Yi Ange's thinking much clearer in an instant.

Zhou Mincai's body was no longer the original soul, that is to say, the soul of Tang Huang who is now in prison is that student.

If this student also loves Tang Huang, the exchange between them is not forced.Many things he said cannot be explained purely from Zhou Mincai's point of view.

Yi Ange frowned, lost in thought.Tang Xiaoxue gradually came out of the sad mood, and got up to change the hot tea for the two of them. At this time, Yi Ange's cell phone rang.

He apologized softly to Tang Xiaoxue, but when he checked the caller ID, it was Jiefeng.

The conditioned reflex is normal, and his whole body is agitated.He had a hunch that what Xie Feng brought would not be good news.

Sure enough, Jie Feng's voice on the other end of the phone was very depressed, with a strange cautiousness, "I found something here... Can you come back in time? I think you'd better come and take a look."

"what happened?"

Yi Ange felt strange.Xie Feng never speaks in such a hesitant way. They found something, and there is no need to ask him to go back and look at it. Xie Feng sounds like he saw something that puzzled him. This alone is enough to make Yi Ange unable to figure it out. mind.

Xie Feng faltered, his voice was still very low, and he couldn't hear clearly.Yi Ange didn't want to embarrass him, so he said, "I'll go back right away, just wait for me."

With that said, he hung up the phone and stood up.Tang Xiaoxue served tea, looked at his appearance, and asked, "Leaving?"

"My colleague has something to deal with." Yi Ange chose the official statement, walked to the door, and looked back at her, "You live alone, if you have any inconvenience, you can contact me."

He was not being polite, but felt that this was his relative.The two are not related by blood, but she was raised by her grandfather. Tang Xiaoxue is nearly ten years older than him, and they have known each other for a long time.

Tang Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, looked at him with complicated eyes, and said softly, "You too."

Yi Ange nodded, and reached out to shake hands with her.

Xie Feng and the others were not at the base, so Yi Ange went straight to Fang Qixian's house. Before reaching the door, he saw the door was open and a cordon was blocked outside.Having seen such a scene, Yi Ange couldn't help feeling tense, and ran in three steps at a time.

Xie Feng came up to him and whispered to him, "I was robbed last night."

"What?" Yi Ange was startled, "What did you lose?"

"The problem is not what was lost." Xie Feng scratched his head, his face was not very good-looking, "It's the thief who found something. I can't explain it clearly, so you can go and see for yourself."

Yi Ange was extremely confused, and followed him to the second floor of the villa.The decoration here is extremely luxurious, and the eyes are full of golden light.There are two study rooms, both of which have been turned upside down. Yi Ange saw that they were all gathered in one of them, standing around the desk, with somewhat hesitant expressions on their faces.

On the desk is a thick information booklet that has been opened, and every page is full of things.The others stepped back, and Xie Feng motioned for him to pick up the booklet.

Yi Ange glanced at him suspiciously, then lowered his head to look at the booklet, and couldn't take his eyes off after just one glance.

The page he opened was a document similar to a treatment report, with densely packed words on it, and he saw the word "Jing Rong" at a glance.

After a cursory look, Jing Rong's name was mentioned no less than twenty times.He flipped forward again, and found that the record on the first page started with Jing Rong's mother's pregnancy.

Is this a record of love left by a doting grandfather to his grandson?

how can that be possible.

Yi An Gezai carefully read the booklet from the first page. The more he looked, the colder his back became, as if a basin of ice water had been poured from head to toe, completely drenched.

In the information booklet, Fang Qixian called his grandson "the perfect gene body".

He spared no effort to praise the perfection of this child's supernatural gene over and over again, starting from his extraordinary stability in the mother's womb, to the tragic situation on the day when his supernatural power was awakened, to his control of multiple abilities.Fang Qixian was never stingy with his words of praise, but this kind of praise was not for Jing Rong, but for his ability and his genetics.

In the record, he called himself "the creator of the perfect gene" and regarded Jing Rong as an interesting object.He took Jing Rong's blood to make a sample, and conducted a variety of ability tests on the children who had just begun to awaken. This kind of test was almost bloody and brutal in the eyes of Yi Ange and the others.He couldn't understand why Jing Rong would alienate himself when he grew up, but optimistically believed that this was just an alternative way of communication between grandparents and grandchildren.

A whole book of nearly morbid mental journey records Jing Rong's previous life.

It's like a farce, but it exists so real, every word, every picture is like a knife, stabbing into Yi Ange's body fiercely.

What are these...

Rather than saying that Fang Qixian appreciates Jing Rong, it is better to say that what he appreciates is the genetics he brought to Jing Rong.He believes that it is the gene he passed on to his daughter, combined with Jing's father, that produces Jing Rong, an individual who can control multiple supernatural powers.Jing Rong was hailed as the pinnacle by other supernatural beings, and Fang Qixian felt that this was a compliment to him.

But no one came to thank him, no one was grateful for Jing Rong's past "efforts" because of his achievements.So he was resentful and angry, but he was a kind grandfather who tolerated the neglect and disrespect of the younger generation.

So he recorded everything Jing Rong could observe.Jing Rong's cases, the abilities he used, and what kind of subordinates he recruited.Every word seems to be carved with a knife, almost piercing through the paper.

Recalling Fang Qixian's kindly smiling face when they met last time, Yi Ange only felt nauseated.

Jing Rong himself probably didn't realize how morbid things were hidden in this house.He remembered the torment his grandfather had given him, but he didn't know the deep meaning behind the torment.When Yi Ange unconsciously asked him to lower his posture, he actually said yes.

Yi Ange wanted to go back and slap that self who was talking nonsense.

This kind of thing cannot be found out so easily, just like the thief, it is impossible to steal the big house where the owner is not present.

"We think...Fang Qixian left by himself." Feng Yu said in a low voice.

He must have left by himself, and left this thing on purpose.What Yi Ange couldn't figure out was that this should be Fang Qixian's treasure, why would he just give them the whole book?And judging from the final record, Fang Qixian probably didn't take any souvenirs not long ago.

Unless... he already has something that can replace this kind of record.

Yi Ange immediately called Angelina and was relieved to be told that Jing Rong was sleeping in the ward and everything was fine.Looking back at the other people, they all looked a little helpless.

"What should we do?" Wen Xiao frowned and asked, this was the most serious expression Yi Ange had ever shown since he met him, "How do we investigate?"

How to check?The only reason for people like Fang Qixian to do such a thing is to declare war on them.

It is self-evident that Jingrong is the prize of victory in the war.

The question is than what?Who can make Jing Rong wake up first?If he can wake Jing Rong up, Yi Ange would like it without hurting Jing Rong.

Yi Ange looked at the full bookcases on both sides of the wall, and said, "Go ahead and look for it. Look for something similar to this one, read the contents, and look for the word 'virus'."

The others were at a loss, and Yi Ange explained to them the "virus" in Jing Rong's body that Angelina said.As soon as the words were finished, everyone's expressions changed, and when they looked at Fang Qixian's information booklet, their eyes were filled with resentment.

Yi Ange understood their feelings.In addition to the real virus, what Fang Qixian did to Xiao Jingrong, isn't it a "virus"?

The pain that spreads in the bones, even if it is not clear what is going on, but the child's sixth sense is invincible.They will always remember the pain they suffered as children. Some can turn this pain into strength, and some cannot.

Jing Rong is very strong, he became the former, he did the best in everyone's eyes.But unfortunately, this is also the "best" in Fang Qixian's heart.

The others went to the bookshelves to look for clues. Yi Ange sat down and read the information booklet from beginning to end.

He didn't know what he was looking at till the end.Is a child's growth history?It was still a scene written and directed by that person named Fang Qixian. Jing Rong was forced to participate in it and was tortured to the point where he was tortured.

For Fang Qixian, Jing Rong is a sample, a material, and a medal that can grow.

Before the disaster, Jing Rong lived with her parents in the base.Yi Ange didn't know if his mother had noticed Fang Qixian's abnormality, and she resolutely followed her husband to live in an uncomfortable base.But after the disaster happened, the base suffered severe damage, and Jing Rong's mother was suspected of colluding with Olympus, Jing Rong's mother had no choice but to return to Fang Qixian.

Yi Ange began to suspect that the disaster 30 years ago was related to him, but without definite evidence, it is impossible to draw a conclusion.

Fang Qixian mentioned the abnormality of Jingrong's body.It was a flaw on a perfect jade disc, and it was the point that Fang Qixian was most worried about. Because he didn't want to face this kind of failure, he didn't pay much attention to it. Yi Ange could barely see that Beast Transformation was the result of Jing Rong's failure. A problem I've had since childhood.

And this problem fell in the year of the disaster.At that time, Jing Rong had just begun to awaken his abilities. According to Fang Qixian's records, he was trapped in the disaster for a few days. After being rescued, he had a constant high fever and his internal abilities became disordered.

This was a serious blow to Fang Qixian, who believed that his grandson was a perfect individual. He did not expect that the more powerful his ability, the more pressure he would put on the client's body.Jing Rong was only four years old at the time, and the animalization brought him not only pain, but even his life.It's a pity that Fang Qixian couldn't think of this. He focused all his attention on the question of why perfect genes have defects.

Yi Ange felt that he would never be able to understand Fang Qixian's thoughts.His only grandson's life is at stake, but he still struggles with whether his genes will actually be passed on.Maybe some people are born bad people, like Fang Qixian, this way of thinking must not be formed overnight.

Jing Rong's illness began in the year when his supernatural power was awakened. No one gave him proper guidance, so he survived entirely by his own willpower.

And Fang Qixian has spent 30 years and has not found a way to make up for the shortcomings, otherwise Jingrong would not be what he is now.

This was a wake-up call for Yi Ange.No matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to do more than Fang Qixian has done in the past 30 years. If even Fang Qixian can't cure the virus in Jing Rong's body, then no one can.

Yi Ange's mood was unusually calm. In fact, a very bold idea came to his mind.

If Jing Rong's disease cannot be cured now, is it possible to go back to the past and prevent the pathogen from producing?

Can he go back in time again... 30 years ago?

He looked up and looked around.Others are still earnestly searching for clues.Yi Ange hesitated for a moment, but still told them his thoughts.

Before the words fell, everyone expressed their opposition as expected.

Xie Feng held the book in his hand, and said seriously, "Changing the past requires a price. Look at Tang Huang, what did he look like in the end? Do you want to be like that too? If that's the case, what's the point even if the boss wakes up?" significance?"

Yi Ange nodded, knowing that Xie Feng was right, he looked at the others.Feng Yu was thinking about it, and Yi Ange asked him, "What do you think?"

Feng Yu looked up at him and smiled wryly, "I think this is an impossible solution."

It is absolutely impossible to implement the method before it is completely desperate.It's not impossible, it's just too risky.

It's not that Yi Ange hasn't thought it through, but among all the things that can be done, this idea came up suddenly, as if without warning, but in fact, Yi Ange knew in his heart that he had long wanted to do this up.

A pair of invisible hands were pushing him forward, and every step he took was planned by someone.Yi Ange didn't want to be anyone's pawn, he had to catch him by surprise.

Xie Feng still couldn't let go, looked at Wen Xiao and the others, and asked, "Have you decided yet?"

"Not yet." Yi Ange said honestly, "It's still under consideration, and I need someone's help."

"Who?"

Yi Ange smiled and said, "My aunt."

Yi Ange expected that Tang Xiaoxue would come to him soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.As soon as they returned to the base from Fang Qixian's house, Tang Xiaoxue found it here with the address Yi Mingguang left her.

It can be regarded as revisiting the old place in another sense, but after Jing Rong came back, he re-planned most of the places here. It is difficult to integrate the present and the past without staying here every day.

Tang Xiaoxue was a little dazed looking at the scenery outside, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and said apologetically to Yi Ange, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Yi Ange shook his head.If she doesn't come, I will go to find her, just come and go, it doesn't make any difference.

"I've been thinking..." Tang Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, "Sometimes many things can be said to be predestined. I used to tell me this when A Guang was here. I was thinking, would you come to me suddenly? It would mean that something has changed recently."

She looked at Yi Ange, took a deep breath, "Or, what do you want to do?"

Yi Ange nodded, "I do."

"Can I help?"

"Yes." And only you can help.

"Then... what do I need to do?"

Yi Ange briefly explained his plan to go back to the past.The crack left by Tang Huang is still there, and it is very easy to jump down.

After hearing what he said, Tang Xiaoxue's face changed, and she sighed, "So you also have this plan."

Yi Ange was quite surprised that she could say the word "also", so she heard her say, "When I was young, every time I celebrated my birthday, Ah Guang told me that I must meet my biological father in the future. You just appeared At the time, I thought this meant the one in the prison, but then I thought about it... my real father was still there 30 years ago."

She pursed her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind.

"I've thought about going back, but I'm not sure when. Since you have this need now, it's probably time."

She stretched out her hand to Yi Ange, and said firmly, "I want to go back to see him."
