Yi Chen was about to return to the elevator entrance to attempt a reunion with Moon Scar when a young grape popped out.
“It was you who got off the elevator by yourself, and that kid Moon Scar deliberately followed the elevator girl down to a deeper area… didn’t you notice?”
“Is that so?” Yi Chen revealed a self-mocking expression and shook his head, “It seems I really can’t keep my emotions stable in this kind of situation, at this kind of moment.
It looks like I’ll only feel better after I personally slaughter that woman.”
The small grape extended its childlike round hands and gently patted Yi Chen’s shoulder, “Go do it~ I will Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!”
Since Moon Scar had actively separated, Yi Chen respected his thought and did not insist on gathering,
he grabbed the doorknob in front of him, turned… click!
Director Cao continued to introduce self-absorbedly,
Yi Chen, due to emotional fluctuations, was completely immersed in this meaningless slaughter.
No matter how many times he killed, Director Cao could always emerge from somewhere else as if all those who died were fake bodies she had created.
As the slaughter went on,
the memories long buried in Yi Chen’s heart gradually began to consume him
The black fog that filled the view slowly turned his eyeballs black… Buzz!
A deeply hidden, self-denied memory awakened at this moment.
Yi Chen found himself back in that memory, his [third] escape from the Orphanage, where his plan was close to perfect, and he had even left the Orphanage building.
In the end, he could not evade the intense searchlight of the high walls.
Fully armed, automatic rifles in hand, the security personnel quickly surrounded the young boy,
The adult faces beneath the masks were equally astonished,
Some couldn’t believe that this boy, not yet ten, managed to escape the Orphanage building on his own—a feat unprecedented since the foundation of Black Mountain Orphanage.
According to the rules,
such a breach of conduct that threatened the Orphanage gave them the right to an on-the-spot execution.
As the cold muzzle pressed against the back of Yi Chen’s head… Swish!
Hot blood suddenly splattered on Yi Chen, and the firearms fell to the ground as well.
He turned his head to see that Director Cao had appeared behind him in a non-human form, killing all four fully armed security officers.
The Director’s crimson eyes emitted a gentle glow, watching the boy before her.
“Truly excellent, truly worthy of being my child, to be able to escape all the way here on your own.
The Orphanage’s design is theoretically inescapable, which proves your extraordinary abilities. It’s time for you to recognize your true heritage.
Yi Chen was not punished but taken by Director Cao to the [Child Care Room], his first visit to this place.
“This is where you were born. All these little ones are your younger brothers and sisters.
However, to date, none of your siblings have managed to live up to you.
You are the most perfect, the most faultless, the one most suited to inherit my position, and perhaps even surpass me to sit in a higher position within the Orphanage.
Hold on, let me find your file.”
As Director Cao reached for the documents, she muttered to herself:
“Your father’s identity is somewhat special, usually disguised as an ordinary office worker, even deliberately controlling his scores on the annual intelligence tests.
Our data analysts, after comparing intelligence test results over twenty-six years, finally uncovered his score-manipulating behavior, and we immediately dispatched surveillance on him,
Only to discover that besides working normally, he took the last train on Subway Line 13 every night, hunting for special prey and bringing unique trophies home.”
At this point, Director Cao pointed to her own head.
“When we found him, he was nearly in his fifties.
Even with us having the upper hand in a surprise attack, over fifteen people were dead before we could completely subdue him.
Considering the potential threat he posed, after completing some registration and projects with me, he was directly executed by the higher-ups.
The subsequent notice to the police to investigate his residence confirmed his involvement in at least 31 missing persons cases.
He was a major villain; you mustn’t follow in his footsteps, alright?”
*Due to multiple name changes, his true identity is untraceable. Only the surname ‘Yi’ remains in the outdated records.
*A high-IQ criminal, all current cognitive tests fail to measure his true intelligence, suspected of having undergone long-term specialized training by a certain organization. His physical condition (at fifty years old) reaches the highest level assessed by the Orphanage’s adult instructors, and his methods of killing are immeasurable.
