    Chapter 122: I’ll Take You Away (4)

    At first, little Yu An didn’t know what a car accident meant.

    It was just that from that day on, he never received the evening phone calls from his parents again.

    The adults who saw him all looked at him with an indescribable expression, as if they were looking at a homeless stray cat on the side of the road.

    The young Yu An belatedly realized something.

    His parents had left with his grandmother to travel to another place.

    But why didn’t they take him?

    Had they accidentally left… him behind?

    Little Yu An cried a lot, but that day he stubbornly held back his tears.

    His uncle’s family believed in feng shui and refused to adopt him.

    Yu An didn’t feel much, because according to later developments, he already knew that he would end up in an orphanage.

    However, when this event truly arrived,

    Yu An felt a chill.

    Because, in his memory, the orphanage he stayed in was a place full of ancient charm. The courtyard was often planted with ancient trees, and countless red prayer ribbons fluttered in the wind.

    But the one in front of him was completely different.

    A black and white European-style building, with an empty stone-carved church, was completely different from what he remembered.

    What exactly was going on?

    Little Yu An was obviously shocked by the building, and as soon as he arrived here, he felt that he had become very strange. He couldn’t speak properly, and his thoughts were erratic.

    When he came back to his senses, his aunt was already turning to leave.

    He subconsciously wanted to follow, but his legs wouldn’t move at all.

    “Child, are you alright?” The speaker was the director of the orphanage, who looked to be in his forties with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

    It was indeed the familiar face that Yu An remembered.

    But strangely, his facial features were clearly beautiful when looked at individually, but they were inexplicably ordinary when put together, and it was difficult to remember his appearance.

    It was like… a disguise pill!

    Yu An was completely stunned.

    The director who adopted him that year was actually from the Space-Time Bureau?

    Little Yu An trembled and called out, “…Uncle.”

    The other party smiled, and for some reason, his smile was a little strange, causing little Yu An to shudder all over as if he had heard it somewhere before.

    “No, you should call me Father.”

    Little Yu An shrank back, feeling that his attitude was strange, and wanted to leave. But when he met those eyes, he seemed to be bewitched and called out:

    “Father.”

    “Good boy, baby,” the man’s last words were almost too soft to be heard, “I will raise you well as if you were my own son, so don’t let me down…”

    In this way, little Yu An entered the orphanage.

    But Yu An felt a great sense of absurdity in his heart.

    This place was completely different from what he remembered. In his memory, the director also had this face, but he was kind and amiable, and treated him very well.

    He also adopted many orphans, often encouraging him and protecting him.

    But the current director was different.

    The way he looked at him always had a measuring gaze.

    It reminded Yu An of the masked man that day.

    Moreover, here, he also saw things that didn’t belong to his original world—magical artifacts from the ancient style world, robots from the science fiction world… far exceeding the technological level of his era.

    Of course, the most bizarre thing was a tightly closed room.

    He didn’t know what was locked inside.

    But Yu An vaguely felt that a terrible truth was buried inside. And the him in his memories, although young, had a strong perception of his surroundings.

    He not only discovered that door but also developed a strong sense of unease and curiosity.

    So, taking advantage of the robots monitoring him not paying attention, the young Yu An sneaked in.

    Inside was a huge screen, with many videos stored inside. It was unknown whether it was to show off their achievements to everyone who discovered this place, but there was no password set, and it could be viewed directly.

    Through the thumbnails, he could see bloody scenes.

    These… were all killing videos.

    And they were from different worlds.

    Yu An was stunned in place, and a strong sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

    He then saw the faces of his parents flash through the latest video record.

    At this moment, little Yu An also saw it at a glance, and his fingers trembled as he clicked it open.

    —It was the night of the car accident.

    In these ten minutes, the cruel scene made Yu An’s eyes slightly red, and his fingertips unconsciously pinched himself, almost drawing blood.

    He had always thought that his parents died in an accidental car accident.

    But he never expected that all of this was actually done by the masked man…

    No wonder he hadn’t even seen their bodies back then and was cremated, only receiving their ashes. It turned out that they hadn’t even died intact.

    And little Yu An’s pupils also shrank.

    Children didn’t know how to express anger, only felt that the emotions in their hearts were about to explode in an instant, and couldn’t tell whether it was horror or pain.

    Footsteps came from behind, it was the patrolling robots!

    But little Yu An felt that he couldn’t breathe, his mind was full of the bloody video just now, and he couldn’t breathe and couldn’t move his legs at all.

    Just let them find him like this…

    He felt uncomfortable in his heart.

    Who knew, the next second.

    Countless black tides surged out from the corner, quickly restoring all the things in the box.

    Yu An felt someone hold his hand.

    Very cold.

    But it was as if he had been salvaged from the drowning deep sea.

    “Me.” Little Xie Jinsheng said.

    The little tentacled monster was very strong, directly carrying him up and hiding with him under the bright red tablecloth.

    Outside the window, the late autumn was bleak, and the moonlight was desolate.

    In the European-style hall, the long wind hunted and blew, and two shivering young children were in the dark corner where footsteps were constantly approaching.

    They seemed to be scarred and huddled together for warmth.

    The voices of the robots outside came in, but they didn’t find anyone and left again.

    Little Yu An bit his lip, wanting to stop his tears.

    It was clearly just a memory, but Yu An was also pulled into the emotions, and his eyes were wet and spinning.

    Afterward, he felt a tentacle gently wipe away his tears. Yu An raised his eyes and heard his voice—

    “Let’s escape, I’ll take you away.”

    “Don’t cry.”
