The bartender’s face was panic-stricken: "What happens here has nothing to do with you, you shouldn’t have come back!"
"Is that so?" Chichu Chun crouched down, reaching her hand toward the bartender’s forehead.
"Please spare me, I’m forced into this!" The bartender shed tears of despair, "I know what you want to ask, but I can’t say... "
"Once spoken, my brain will turn into mush; it’s a common company tactic!"
The bartender desperately closed his eyes, the girl’s hand paused before his forehead, not advancing further.
Seeing this, the bartender’s gaze sharpened, reaching for a fallen gun nearby.
Fire flashed, and the bartender’s wail echoed, clutching his severed hand, he curled up on the ground.
"I said, how did you know this guy was pretending?" Sparrow raised an eyebrow.
"Anyone dumped here by the company is mostly a death row prisoner with a sold-life contract." Night Owl kicked the gun away from the bartender’s side.
"This guy’s gaze never strayed from the gun."
"Screw you." The bartender cursed crudely, "A bunch of Saji People, what right do you have to judge me!"
"I bet you’ve done more bad things than I have!"
The Dark Night Walker group shrugged.
"I’m serious." The bartender glared fiercely at Chichu Chun, "You shouldn’t have come back, this clearly has nothing to do with you!"
"You’re a curse, you really are a damn curse!"
"Why come back here!"
Bang—
The gunshot rang out, Chichu Chun killed the bartender.
"Hey, we haven’t interrogated him yet!" Owl rushed over and grabbed Chichu Chun’s collar to stop her.
Chichu Chun remained calm throughout: "He has a Yi Crystal chip installed in his brain, and articulating words beyond its scope causes brain dissolution, probing the memory triggers a confidentiality mechanism leading to an explosion."
"This is a specialty of the Chichu Family."
"Besides, it’s not necessary anymore." Chichu Chun broke free from Owl’s grasp, "I remembered, the location of that place."
"Let’s go."
In the dead of night, at the tunnel entrance hidden under the mountain, the soldiers on guard routinely checked the vehicles transporting supplies. A black vehicle with a ’Yaoos Joint Life Research Institute’ insignia stopped at the checkpoint.
"Routine inspection."
The soldier approached as the car window slowly rolled down, revealing no one inside.
Just as the soldier felt puzzled and wanted to investigate further inside the vehicle, a strong unease surged.
Beep—
A sharp sound tore through the silence, firelight quietly flickered on the seat.
Boom—
A violent explosion occurred at the rear, flames billowing skyward, the sudden commotion plunging the guards into chaos.
The Dark Night Walker group drove their off-road vehicle, blatantly firing outside, the machine gun tower pouring out aggressive firepower, a metallic storm sweeping across.
"Pursue, don’t let them escape!" Watching the off-road vehicle sweeping past the checkpoint, the security captain immediately ordered.
The red-haired girl casually donned the cap of a deceased soldier, ignoring the alarmed soldiers nearby, she walked through the crowd towards the depths of the tunnel.
Flooded by emerging memories, Chichu Chun found it increasingly difficult to distinguish reality.
She had always been confused about her past.
In her memory, she was born in the Chichu Family’s mansion, during the season when camellias bloomed while she cried, her mother was weak and passed away within a few years of her birth. As a child, she followed Sebastian around, despite frequently being dragged into the underworld, her life was stable with Sebastian secretly protecting her.
Until later, she went to Dragonfly Town, met Xu Xiaoyou, and from then on her life trajectory became clearer.
Yet there would always be fragment-like memories surfacing in her mind during quiet nights, like shattered mirrors presenting bloody recollections in front of her.
There, she lived in darkness, constantly running forward, falling and getting up, while her companions fell one by one into pools of blood, the man’s last words kept echoing in her mind.
"I thought... I would become a proud father."
Which part is her true memory?
Chichu Chun wanted to unravel this long-standing confusion.
And the source of these memories was right here.
— Yaoos Life Joint Research Institute.
Chichu Chun was certain that Xu Xiaoyou, with her authority, surely knew related matters, yet never mentioned them to her.
Amidst a cacophony of alarms, Chichu Chun slowly lifted her head, becoming a mature, knowledgeable female researcher the moment she passed through the gate. Holding a file in her arms, she nodded at some hurriedly moving researchers.
The camera shifted, showing Chichu Chun moving past a playground full of children’s play facilities, heading deeper into the institute.
In the corridors, Chichu Chun found the scenes growing increasingly familiar, matching the scenes in her memory one by one; the pure white ceiling, alloy-joined walls, aligned rooms behind observation windows, and children in white clothes with numb expressions.
They stood behind the observation windows, seeing more than the researchers, gazing at her with puzzled looks, as if asking:
"Why did you come back here?"
"Room A11, remember to dispose of them, I’ll check what’s happening outside." At this moment, a supervisor walked by, patting Chichu Chun’s shoulder, pushing a folio of recorded information into her arms.
Chichu Chun quietly accepted the folio. In the observation room beside her, a kindly faced male was playing ball with a child sitting on the ground.
— Frosty Winter Plan.
The familiar word pierced Chichu Chun’s pupils like a thorn, she flipped to the first page, looking at the information above.
Sample No. 1979
Observation Reaction: Good
The sample has grown normally to the human equivalent of eight years, having never attacked caregivers, with intelligence far exceeding same-age samples; cognition normal, capable of normal adulthood communication.
Determined to be without defects, the sample has been replicated, execution application approved.
Sample No. 1980
Observation Reaction: Bad
The sample dissolved on day 1380 of the growth cycle, with severe rejection reactions during growth.
Sample No. 1981
Observation Reaction: Unqualified
The sample is extremely unstable, had lost control and killed caregivers, unable to control its abilities, no rejection reactions observed.
Severe genetic defects confirmed, execution application approved.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sudden commotion interrupted Chichu Chun, turning her head, she saw the male caregiver’s entire face pressed against the glass, his expression utterly terrified, while he pounded the observation window and looked at her with near-pleading eyes.
"Please, let me out!" The kindness on the caregiver’s face vanished, replaced by deep disgust and fear, as if something monstrous was approaching him. "I’m going crazy, I don’t want to stay here any longer, that’s a monster, I can’t do it!"
"Let me out, let me out, let me out!"
As footsteps approached, the man’s face contorted, pounding the window harder, and began cursing Chichu Chun venomously.
Suddenly, a small, tender hand appeared on the man’s shoulder. The man’s twisted expression froze at that moment.
Next, a crisp snapping sound rang out, Chichu Chun saw the man’s neck being broken, his final expression one of profound despair.
The child’s sharp laughter resounded. The toddler covered in blood, sat in a pool of blood clapping, emitting a giggling laugh.
Chichu Chun slowly put down the research report.
Because she saw, the toddler staring daggers at her, eyes black and bright, storing curses. Those thin lips parted repeatedly, seeming to ask:
"What right do you have to return here?"
"Bringing about all this calamity."
