Evernight Morning Star

.

The man didn't care about him, but took him by his side, and he walked around the room, performing this behavior called "doing an experiment".

The man threw him a pile of books, and the boy's life was accompanied by the pile of books and the various sounds of the man's operation.

According to what the man said, it was obvious that he wanted him to fend for himself, so why did he pick him up?

One day, he was asked by a man, "Why don't you go out?"

So he stepped out of the big room in a daze, and the man was still doing experiments.

According to the man's indifferent tone, he went out of the door and turned left, walked through a long dark passage, and came to a door. There was a glare of light in the gap. He opened the door, and it was very easy. It's just a cover-up.

The sun shone on him in an instant, and he couldn't help covering his eyes with his hands. The children's laughter and laughter rushed into his ears unexpectedly. He opened his eyes slightly and looked through his fingers. Under the sunshine, many children like him were Playing and playing, the surface of the lake was shining and shimmering, and there seemed to be crisp chirping sounds in the distance. This was a world he had only seen in books, a world of light.

It turned out that he and the man were not the only two people in this world, and he thought the man was lying to him, so he walked out from behind the door cautiously.

Someone saw him, his eyes lit up and he wanted to run over, but he was stopped: "Don't go over, he is the son of that villain!"

"How did you know?"

"When the bad guy went out, I watched it secretly, and all of you saw it too, right?"

"Correct!"

"He's sitting on the table in the bad guy's room!"

"Then let's go away and ignore him."

The children scattered, and the boy stood there at a loss as to what to do. In any case, he couldn't equate the "bad guy" with that man.

The sun is so warm, but he can only stay in the corner alone, watching other children playing.

He also wanted to be like the kid in the book, with a brave partner, running and playing in the sun, the boy remembered that scene deeply in his mind, the door slowly opened in his hand, and the first moment when the sun shone into his world , he knew that he would probably never have that chance again.

From the moment he was released from that room, the man never cared about him again.

The boy followed suit and followed the children, taking food from the cupboard after they had taken it.

It was the same as what he ate in the room. The liquid was so bitter that he couldn’t swallow it. He knew it was called a nutrient. If he didn’t eat it, he would starve to death. He didn’t want to die, so he obediently drank all the liquid in it every time. Two clean.

But the color and taste of the nutritional supplements he got from the food cabinet were different. The dark purple liquid was sweet and sour.

This time the color is light red and different, very sweet, very sweet, he is very happy, picking out all the colors he has never seen before from the food cabinet, it is so different from the transparent color he used to drink every day, he looks in a mood Everything will get better. He tasted every color before he was satisfied.

But it didn't take long for him to discover that he had done something wrong.

During mealtime in the evening, the man's attention was attracted by a series of loud noises. He walked out of the laboratory and found that the sound was coming from the food storage room. Noisy.

"Will you go, will you go!"

"I won't go! He is the son of a bad guy, and the bad guy will definitely not care about it!"

"Then what should I do with my dinner, woo woo woo!" The girl cried out of grievance.

The man listened in silence for a while, when a child spotted him and whispered a reminder: "The bad guys are coming!"

The boy stood in the middle of the circle surrounded by a group of children, looked timidly at the man's face, and lowered his head in shame.

The man said coldly, "Why are you crying?"

The girl immediately choked on her breath tremblingly, and even hiccupped a few times.

When the surroundings became silent, the man said, "Who tell me?"

No one spoke, and the man waited patiently, showing no sign of leaving.

The girl who burst into tears just now stabbed the arm of the boy next to her, and was thrown away by him, her mouth deflated again in grievance.

"Hey, don't cry! I said, I said okay!" The boy hurriedly said loudly, explaining the whole story to the man.

In the evening, when everyone came to get dinner together, many people found that the nutritional supplements in their cabinets were running low, and then they reported it when they had children, saying that they saw the man’s son following him here, and they hadn’t come out for a long time.

Everyone found the boy and confronted him. The boy admitted it frankly and apologized, but everyone refused to let him go, saying that their dinner and the taste they had saved for a long time were gone, and they wanted the boy to pay for it.

"I've been saving strawberry flavor for a long time!"

"And so is my blueberry flavor!"

Hearing this, the man frowned and said, "Okay."

Everyone immediately fell silent, and the man announced: "I see."

Left a group of kids in the storage room and left again, and the kids started beating the boy in the center again, and the boy felt ashamed.

After a while, the man came back, holding a box and put it on the ground beside the boy: "Take it yourself."

Regardless of how fiercely the children were fighting behind him, the man led the boy out of the storage room.

Turning right and left came to a strange room, the man went to a cabinet in the corner of the room and opened the cabinet, inside was the boy had drunk many tubes at noon today, colorful nutritional supplements.

"If it's not enough, ask me." The man closed the cabinet door, walked to the door, and said without looking back, "You will live here from now on."

The boy stood dazed in the large empty room with only one bed and one cupboard.

Since that day, he has always received malicious messages from other children——

There will be less nutrients, because it is not the time to add, he dare not ask a man for it, so he can only go hungry.

Being splashed with water, being covered with stickers on the back, writing words such as "I'm a bad guy" and "I'm a fool", and being laughed at have become commonplace.

Under the cabinet in the room is a food cabinet, on which there are books. The boy can't reach it, so he can only find a small stool from the library for his feet.

When he was moving the stool and turned around, he was knocked hard by an outstretched foot, knocked his head on the corner of the stool and fainted for a long time before recovering, and the culprit could no longer be found.

When I touched my head, the sticky feeling was very uncomfortable, and my hands were blood red.

He often takes a book to the corner under the shade of the tree to read, sometimes to look at the shining lake water, and sometimes to watch other children playing with envy.

One day when he returned to his room, what greeted him was a pile of tatters, the books were torn to a mess, scattered in a piece of glass and liquid, and stained with different colors.

He remembers it very clearly, because all his memories are like a cabinet for storing food, they are kept vividly in the cabinet, and as long as the drawer is opened, he will be submerged like a raging wave.

The boy numbly walked to the side of the rags, just like the rags he was in when he was picked up, all the bright colors lost their tone, exuded a pungent smell, and his forehead felt a little painful.

From the food storage room, he found the box that was robbed when the man moved in, moved the cardboard box to the pile of debris, and picked up the debris, pieces of paper, and debris with his bare hands, one by one, with his hands stained with nutrient solution, The boy didn't even wrinkle his brows as there were bright red gashs drawn by the transparent fragments.

A puddle of colorful liquid was left, and the boy let it dry, emitting a strange smell.

"Is this smell the place where I was born?" the boy wondered.

When all this was done, the boy put the box next to the dustbin.He knew that the group of kids who did this were hiding nearby to watch him, so he didn't confront them, but went straight to the laboratory and found the man.

The boy recalled the sweetest smile he had ever seen in the sun. The corners of his mouth curled into the same arc, his eyes slightly curved, and he met the surprised look of the man. He said, "I'll get my lunch."

He opened his palm and stretched out his hand towards the man, looked down at the blood in the palm of his hand, it hadn't completely solidified, the bright red and dark red in different shades vertically and horizontally were reflected in the boy's eyes, he looked up, and finally saw the man with a slightly cracked expression,

The man got angry and didn't give him lunch.

The boy looked at the perfectly wrapped hands, more beautifully wrapped than in the book, he thought.

He looked at his hand like this, holding a book that the man had just put for him, walked to the familiar corner, and opened the book while clutching his growling stomach.

A black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, something fell into the corner between his legs and stomach, he raised his eyes quickly, and only had time to see the man's back clearly.

He took out the pink tube of nutrition from the bottom of the book, strawberry flavored, very sweet.

The boy recognized the figure from the back, it was also a child walking alone, but he was different from the boy, he chose to be alone.

He can always see someone inviting him: "Jing Chi, do you want to play with us?"

Someone also asked him: "Jing Chi, why are you always alone?"

He just kept silent and didn't answer, and as time passed, everyone stopped making fun of themselves and let him hide in a corner and sleep alone.

Speaking of which, the boy still took advantage of him. The boy always chooses to hide in his sleeping corner to read when Jing Chi is not around, because he also likes this place very much. like alive.

But when Jing Chi is sleeping here, he will consciously switch to another corner, secretly looking at the world.

The boy thought, maybe after today, Jing Chi would no longer be the one he chose.

He knew that someone would come to his room to do all this today, and he didn't stop him.

He knew it when he saw Jing Chi confronting a group of children over this matter. He hid in a dark place on the side and watched everything coldly.

Seeing that Jing Chi was surrounded and beaten by these children, the children dispersed in a hurry.

Wang Jingchi chased him to his room, his hand was scratched by the splashed glass shards, and he couldn't save a book, only snatched a tube of pink nutrition from a girl.

Now this tube of nutrition, wiped clean, is held in the boy's hand.

The body of the nutrient tube that had been drunk glistened under the sunlight, and the boy squinted to see this dazzling picture.

He suddenly thought of a word he read in a book, and thought: Ah, this word is really tailor-made for him.

It's despicable.

The author says:

——Write a little distressed QAQ——

86. Memory ([-])

Because nothing is all.

"Still opening your eyes?" The man's voice sounded flat, his ears were ringing loudly, and his mind was muddled. He didn't want to obey the man's wishes.

The headache was terrible, and what broke the chaos was the man's urging again.

What the man did to him, he knew, it was a man's frantic experiment, the man never shy away from it, let him know everything.

But now that the operation was successful, he understood the nature of the experiment more clearly.

He was lying on the operating table on the second floor of the orphanage, and the bright shadowless lamp shone on his eyes. He tried to calm down, but he couldn't stop his eyelashes fluttering under the light after the anesthesia period expired.

The man has succeeded, and he has never been more aware of that fact than he is now.

"Zero, get up." The man urged again without any impatience.

Yes, this is the nature of this man named "Wu Zele".The only thing in this man's mind was the experiment he had dedicated his life to, and everything else he could tolerate because he didn't care.

Opening his eyes, the light was no longer dazzling. He turned his head to look at Wu Zele, who was wearing a hand-washing clothes, standing beside him, like the top of an untouchable snow-capped mountain.

He heard himself speak, as if it wasn't the consciousness floating in his mind that was controlling the body, his voice was a little strange and weak: "There won't be any more experiments, right?"

The man didn't speak, but he understood the look in the man's eyes, so contemptuous, telling his innocence: how could it not be?

The man still answered his question: "You still need to make some preparations, you rest in your room, and I will tell you when you can get out of bed."

He was sent by a man to a room he had never been to.

He was very tired, his body and consciousness were light due to the anesthetic, he wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep, there were more existences in his mind that could not be ignored, which stimulated his nerves all the time.

The brain, which was not fully enlightened at the beginning, became clear because of this existence, and the memories emerged one by one, like a light ball with wisdom, beating in his mind, luring him to probe into the light ball to see what happened.

The entire sea of ​​consciousness was going to be squeezed by the light cluster and the consciousness of this world, and he had a terrible headache.

The powerful pulsation of the cerebral artery made his brain aching, and the tearing sensation made him want to beat all the painful parts, but he couldn't lift his hand, his fingers could move, but he couldn't pull his arm to reach the place where his head was.

——It’s as if it’s about to explode, it’s so uncomfortable.

--So sad.

--wanna die.

——Someone... help me.

The boy on the bed moaned like a wounded beast, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he was looking forward to someone who could come and relieve the pain for him who couldn’t move, cold sweat broke out frequently on his pale cheeks, and the soaked sweat soaked the gauze on his head , also wet the pillow under the boy, and the exposed black hair has become a lock.

Gradually, the moan turned into a whimper, and a small sob came from the empty room, accompanied by a slight twitch that could not be suppressed due to deliberate suppression, until the owner of the voice lost consciousness.

……

He is zero, experimental sample No. 000, the first sample among the hundreds of experimental samples the man found.

He was not called Ling at the beginning, but grew up to be three years old by the man's side, and learned to speak, walk, run, read and write, and also learned to read.

The world I read from the book is very vast, the protagonists have all kinds of lives, there are too many stories about adventure, romance, and fairy tales, and he is only three years old. He can understand it. He doesn't know why, man Never taught him, he can only read it, and it is only limited to understand the meaning of the text.

He didn't think about whether this was abnormal.

It's just that he has doubts about these stories-the protagonist of each story has a "name", and he thinks he should have it too, and the existence of "father" is the same.

He thought that the man named "Wu Zele" should be his father, because he had been by the man's side ever since he had the impression.

So he called the man "Father", but was refuted by the man, who accepted it without curiosity, without asking "why".

But he also wanted to know if he also had something called a "name", so when his room was messed up, he asked this question while the man was bandaging him.

"Do I have a 'name'? "

The man didn't answer, his dark eyes deepened a little because of this question, it seemed that this question stumped him.

He waited for the man's answer and stared persistently into the man's eyes.

"Zero, your name is Zero."

So he had a name, zero, and he didn't know the meaning of this "zero" until now.

He, the man, and a group of children lived here together.Surrounded by mountains on two sides and facing the lake on the other side, there are overgrown trees. He has never been out because this is a domesticated place where lambs are raised, fences made of electric wires, and outer walls that cannot be climbed. Keep experimenting.

Lambs are constantly changing, and he never sees unqualified lambs again.Only he is different. He has stayed from the beginning to the present. He has watched the lambs come and go. He has also changed from being a poor little boy who couldn't hold back when he was bullied, to being able to fight back.

From the moment he realized this, he began to keep track of the number of lambs that came and went, hundreds of experimental samples over the years, only he could survive.

It wasn't until later that the boy realized that the man who said the name "Zero" to him really meant that he was special, but not special that would survive the experiment.

Rather, these hundreds of experimental samples are all to accumulate experimental data for the final experiment, and he is the "final".

He is sample number 000, so "zero".

He asked the man, "There will be no more experiments," because he didn't want to see the pale little faces on the stretchers sent out from the second floor, and he didn't want to let there be no laughter in the shining courtyard in his impression, only one A frightened face, and the unscrupulous behavior of some lambs bullying their own kind in order to vent their fear and pain.

But the man didn't give a definite answer, but there was nothing he could do.

The lamb is still being bought and sold, and he understands the meaning of it better than before. The chip implanted in his brain by the man is like an encyclopedia, recording the knowledge and memory he has learned so that it will not be lost. , and brought all the knowledge in the world to him.

He thought this was the purpose of the man's experiment, so he didn't understand what the next experiment was for.

But it wasn't until 14 years later, on March 462, 03 in the star calendar, that day exactly 01 years after he was brought back to the sheepfold by Wu Zele, and everything about him was turned upside down, that he knew the essence of Wu Zele's experiment.

……

Three weeks had passed since Zero walked out of that room after the operation, and the New Year had just passed.

In winter, everything in the courtyard was covered with a snow-white coat, which was thicker than the coat on his body. The snow was the purest, but also the dirtiest. The scattered footprints dug out the dust covered in the snow, creating an ugly mess.

Zero's eyes blindly followed the direction of the footprints to the end. From the atrium to the gap between the bell tower and the wall, a few children wearing simple clothes surrounded by a common scene.

Zero quietly watched this scene. After he learned how to turn over from the tide, he got used to watching from a distance, watching how the children who fell into the lake after him and were about to drown were powerlessly in the never-ending tide. struggling.

Once he could take comfort from it, but now he is indifferent.

Zero turned to leave, when a short figure emerged from the children's encirclement, the children behind him followed the figure leisurely, and the voice of ridicule approached the atrium.

"Run stupid pig, hahaha!"

"Look at her stupidity!"

The one who held back Ling's footsteps was shouting amidst laughter, the sweet and waxy voice without any grievance: "Big brother wait for me!"

Zero's footsteps paused, and when he turned around, the child was only a few steps away from him.

It was a little girl who hadn't changed into the uniform of the orphanage. She was unkempt, and her jacket was a little dirty. When she saw Zero stop, she suddenly smiled, and for a moment it was like a warm sun breaking through the clouds. Hazy, swaying away the desertedness in the snow.

Her smile made Ling stunned in place, looking at the bright smile he saw for the first time, at a loss for what to do.

The girl just smirked, and accidentally fell into the mud on the snow, Hanhan got up, trotted to the front of Ling, and the laughter behind him became even louder.

Ling raised his eyes, his childish eyes and expressionless face stopped the noise in an instant.

Groups of children come and go, but they all know that there is a child in the orphanage who is not easy to mess with, no matter what age group children are, they will not be easy to please.He walks alone, has his own room, and has a corner where he can stay forever.

The children exchanged in low voices, took a few steps back in fear, and ran away together.

"Hello, my name is Yu Shunuo, and I will be four years old this year!" The girl had no sense of being bullied just now, and still smiled brightly.

Zero doesn't understand why the girl has no grudges about this matter.

With shining eyes, Yu Shunuo shook his head to correct him: "It's wrong for you to do this! I introduced myself, so you should also introduce yourself!"

"Uh..." Zero remained silent.

"It's not right." Yu Shunuo shook his head with his hands behind his back like a grown-up, and said, "To a kid you meet for the first time, you have to introduce yourself well."

Zero knew that she must have learned this attitude from the elders in the family, moved her lips, turned around in silence, trying to escape from the cold image of herself seen in the girl's clear eyes.

"You are not allowed to go!" Yu Shunuo grabbed his hand, startled, and opened it hard to touch his little hand.

"Wooooow, it hurts, you are so fierce!"

Hearing her aggrieved voice, Zero looked back at her at a loss, the girl pursed her lips, but her eyes were full of cunning.

Ling pursed his lips, turned around and left, no matter how much the girl was making trouble behind him, he didn't pay any attention to her.

He thought that the girl would stay away from him. He knew that he was abnormal and no one should approach him, just like the man who was alone.

He was a monster, as the children who were increasingly frightened of him called him, and the children around the monster were monsters.

How can someone know so much at the age of four?

Not to mention that there is something that a man implanted in his brain, making him a complete monster.

How can monsters keep company with people?

But the girl was never discouraged, and followed him from upstairs to downstairs, squatting in front of his door every morning to say "good morning", living a life of being a little tail every day, saying good night and saying goodbye, letting him sleep well, and raiding from time to time Ask "What's your name?" "How old are you?"

Zero never answered, and he didn't understand why she didn't give up.

One day, after the girl followed him again, she didn't keep up with him when she went upstairs, but hurried to catch up but fell down in a hurry, her front teeth were loose, her forearms and knees were injured, her flesh and blood vague.

Zero hastily called the man over, took the man to the laboratory, applied the medicine, and sent the girl back to the room.

The man took him out and asked, "Why?"

The man asked vaguely, but he understood the man's hidden meaning even though he was very young. He was asking himself why he didn't want to be friends with her.

Zero just looked into the man's dark eyes seriously, knowing very clearly that he was dissatisfied with the man's usual calm demeanor, and he also knew that the existence in his mind suppressed his nerves all the time, making his emotions not in the slightest. be tied down.

But he was a little reluctant, the cause of everything was the person in front of him, and everything in this person's eyes was dead, no one could affect his emotions, the reason why the man was willing to take time to ask him various questions was just to get Experimental data only.

"Shouldn't you be satisfied?" Zero heard himself reply.

There was a wave of surprise in the man's eyes.Yes, he should be surprised, Zero thinks this way, as a perfect experimental subject, he should not have any emotions, nor should he say anything to express his emotions.

Because of the deviation from the existing will in his mind, Zero's mind felt a dull pain, which immediately involved the nerves, causing bursts of dull pain.

The man didn't say anything, just took a deep look at him, turned and left.

But Zero was different, he captured this pain and was excited about it, his hand trembled involuntarily, and raised his hand, Zero thought of what he did to win the pity of a man not long ago, before the operation Smile, clenched your fists so that your hands no longer tremble, and smiled as before.

"Brother, you are smiling, so beautiful!"

Yu Shunuo's voice sounded in front of him, Ling quickly put away all his expressions, and looked at the girl who tilted her head and smiled at him with her hands behind her back.

"Go back and rest."

"You talked to me!" Yu Shunuo cheered.

Seeing Zero's persistent expression, she turned her eyes to the right, gritted her lower lip, grinned and thought for a while, and then looked back at the boy treacherously: "You answer my question, and I'll go back to rest—— "

Zero already had an idea in his mind, and this idea gave him unprecedented excitement. The presence of his heart was suddenly obvious, beating in his chest.

He can feel this breath of life without resorting to other materialized existences, and this pain gives him the real sense of existence.

An image appeared in my mind, with zero mouth opening, imitating the expression of this image, and grinning generously: "My name is Le Ze, and I am five years old this year."

Like a real carefree five year old.

He used a man's name to give himself a new name, a name that was not linked to sample No. 000, with a surname and a first name, so that he seemed to have a happy family just like the girl.

At the age of five, Zero learned to lie, imitate and disguise, and learned to use everything to cover up his abnormality.

He can't produce emotions, can't perceive the existence of life, so he can have richer expressions than anyone else, because nothing is everything.

The author says:

Xuanxuan: Why on earth did you pester me in the first place?

Arnold: (Of course) Because you are the prettiest!

Xuanxuan: ...

87. Memory ([-])

In the joy of life, my chest was beating like a drum.

Since Ling was willing to talk to her, Yu Shunuo took more pleasure in pestering Ling.

Even though Zero has learned how to use his expressions to blend into a group, he is still reluctant to have Yu Shunuo by his side.

Yu Shunuo will leave here sooner or later, and they won't see each other again, so getting along with him now is meaningless.

Zero asked Yu Shunuo: "Why don't you play with them?"

Yu Shunuo just smiled sweetly: "Because you are the prettiest brother—"

Zero speechless, after that, he still went his own way, and lived a routine life of three points and one line every day, in the room, library, and corner, and the little tail squatted outside the door since the morning, and followed him when he went out, he did not rush Shu Nuo left, but she also acted as if she didn't exist, but Yu Shu Nuo didn't care, and sat side by side with him holding the picture book with a silly smile, and read the picture book like a model under the shade of a tree.

As long as Zero acts kindly to her, the girl will be very happy, and those children who want to steal nutrients from the girl will not dare to play bad things to the girl because of his attitude.

At first, did Yu Shunuo realize this before following him? Zero didn’t know, and he didn’t care. He acquiesced to the girl’s following, just because of the flowery smile that bloomed in the snow, that was the first time he used The kindness that the eyes read, and the beauty of the human creature.

But as he thought, none of this would last long.

But time passed day by day, and the people around Zero did not change.Since he woke up, he hasn't seen anyone coming in or out from the second floor.

If these people are no longer experimental subjects, has this sheep pen become a real fortress?

Day after day, I observed with such doubts, completely disbelieving that a man would do such a thing with good intentions.

For five full years like this, his attitude towards Yu Shunuo gradually softened from indifference, he learned to show kindness to this girl, and became a big brother she completely relied on.

Yu Shunuo is very likable, always speaks sweet and trustworthy words, and breaks down anyone's defense with her non-aggressive smile.

Zero didn't compromise or admit it, but the balance in his heart gradually tilted towards the girl.

Every time I see her without a dark face, Zero will think why she appears here, a simple and cute little girl wearing an expensive coat that doesn't belong here, she is smart and has a personality that ordinary people can fall in love with at a glance Ability, naive but polite.

She shouldn't be living here, gnawing nutrients that are hard for her to swallow, sitting next to him day after day, reading picture books or books that are difficult to understand.

She should be like the young ladies in the books, with first-class governesses who learn good manners, music, dancing, or whatever else interests her.

Sitting here looking longingly beyond the clock tower, seeing nothing but Zero knowing the girl wanted to get out.

Girls have asked him more than once, why aren't they allowed out?

Zero didn't answer, he couldn't answer.

He already knew why these children appeared here.The child he saw after the operation was completely different from the one he saw before the operation.

They have a fundamental difference - family background.

Those children who would plunder disappeared into the fence, and the remaining children would ask questions and speak politely, and most of them had a reserved attitude. They even knew each other, and occasionally hugged and cried with the clothes they came here.

Zero understood that they all appeared here because they strayed into the wrong path and were swept away by monsters.

There has always been no shortage of brave and strategic children. They are trying to escape from here. Zero will watch their actions in the dark, and occasionally reach out to help them, perhaps to catch the man's attention, or for their plans Fill in the hidden and important one.

But no one has ever succeeded.

No one disappeared from him.

Zero was puzzled, so he secretly went to the laboratory and used some means to unlock the man's encrypted experiment records.

He memorized all the data with his infallible memory, quickly restored everything to its original state, and ran out of the laboratory.

Recalling those data, he discovered that all the samples had been experimented within three months of being brought into the orphanage before appearing in front of his eyes.

And all the failed samples have been emptied, and these children after that have no emptied records, and all of them have completed the experiment around the Spring Festival in the star calendar 449.

He was still lying on the bed in that room at that time, knowing nothing about it.

Adding him, exactly one hundred subjects came from all kinds of big and small families in China and abroad, some of them were wealthy businessmen, some of them were from a family of performers... It turned out that except for him, they were all children with families.

Such a large-scale incident, why has no one found the trace of the missing child so far?

"You have crossed the line." The familiar voice woke him up, and he couldn't stop thinking.

Hearing this voice, Zero looked up at the man who did not know when he appeared at the door of his room, and did not understand why he came back so quickly.

In the past, on this day, the men would not be in the courtyard because they went out to run errands, and they would not come back until evening. The man appeared at this time, and he had already discovered what he had done, which was something that Zero had never thought of.

Zero didn't panic, when he decided to take a peek, he knew that the man would definitely find out, so he replied what the man said: "You are the one, you have crossed the line."

Whether bringing these people to this nameless orphanage or leaving them here for years is crossing the line.

Zero knew that such words alone could not threaten the man, but he had the biggest bargaining chip.

"You know what I can do."

He can ignore physical pain, he can use it to end his life, and that's something a man can't tolerate under any circumstances.

Zero's bargaining chip is himself, for this, he can demand anything from a man.

Five years ago, he used the same trick to blackmail a man, but now it's just a little more extreme.

"I don't want to see them again," Zero said.

There was a clear look in the man's eyes: "It's up to you."

"I'll take her back." Zero demanded, he didn't know if he was allowed to step out of here, so he took a step back: "I will be back."

The man's expression didn't fluctuate. After a while of silence, he still replied: "It's up to you."

Ling lowered his eyes, and when the man walked a few meters away, he raised his head and bowed to the man's back: "Thank you, I will be back."

Where else could he go but here?

……

In Zero's hand was the nutrient that the man gave him, a transparent and colorless tube, and he couldn't help turning it up and down in his hand.

The man asked: "Give her a drink."

He brought it because the man explained to him: "You don't want her to remember everything here, so let her drink it."

He really didn't want to, but he had other considerations.

……
