HISO Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Successor (Seven)

December is the coldest month of the year.

But Yu An truly began to feel the cold only from this year onwards.

Probably because his loved ones had left him one after another.

For him, it was the coldest, most helpless, and loneliest winter. However, the appearance of the little tentacle monster brought new hope to his life.

“Mom and Dad, I’m doing very well now…”

Little Yu An spoke to a newly folded paper crane. As he said this, a hint of tears welled up in his eyes, but fearing they would be recorded by the paper crane, he quickly wiped them away and continued with a smile,

“I’ve met a very good friend.”

Although the other party often dragged around many dark tails, and was a bit scary at first, he was a very good person, and very kind to him.

Most importantly, he would take him away from this place.

Soon, they would be able to leave hell and go to a new world.

He remembered that day behind the artificial hill at school, when little Xie Jinsheng told him a lot about the eras he had seen in the magic circle, and asked him where he wanted to go most.

The place he wanted to go most was the ancient style world.

Because in those places, there would be gods, who could resurrect his mom and dad.

Thinking this way, little Yu An felt much better, and fell asleep embracing the quilt in his arms.

And as time passed, Yu An could also feel that his consciousness was no longer completely merged with little Yu An as it had been before.

For example, at this moment, the child had already fallen into a deep sleep.

But Yu An was not forcibly drawn into sleep.

He pondered the memories created by the key, which were nothing more than attempts to trap him.

Although the real memories were quite different from what he later remembered, the pain that should have been experienced—the passing of loved ones—had long been experienced.

He didn’t think these things could still trap him now.

If there was to be a biggest variable in this memory…

Yu An’s gaze fell on a picture taped to the corner of the wall, painted by little Yu An yesterday afternoon.

The white paper was smeared with an endless sea in blue paint.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the ship in the center and the two childlike stick figures on it.

—It was little Yu An and little Xie Jinsheng.

Yu An looked at the dark sky outside, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

It seemed that it was about to snow.

Indeed, Yu An guessed correctly, a thick snow fell here the next day.

The temperature dropped last night, and little Yu An, who had always been weak, fell ill.

In the past, his mother or grandmother would have stayed by his side, but now he was burning with fever, subconsciously calling out “Mom” several times, but there was no response.

Only then did he realize something.

He got up alone to take medicine, and when he woke up again in a daze, there was a robot by his side.

It was the butler here, taking his temperature.

Little Yu An subconsciously became alert, and quickly shrank back into the quilt. After the butler left, he poked his head out, a hint of disgust and helplessness at being monitored flashing in his eyes.

Until he caught sight of the outside through the window.

“It’s snowing…”

Little Yu An murmured, as if thinking of something, and suddenly got out of bed.

His nose was red from the cold. After quickly fastening his cotton clothes, he ran with his short legs to the roof.

…Recently, in science class at school, he learned that different flower seeds have their own flowering periods.

Just like jasmine, which is destined not to survive in the cold winter.

He had to take the flower seeds with him before leaving.

During this period, as his test scores rose, the robot’s monitoring of him also loosened a lot.

Just when little Yu An thought this escape would go smoothly.

An accident happened—

“Little Yu An, have you missed Father these past few months?”

The head of the orphanage, who hadn’t been seen for half a year, had returned.

The other party was wearing a smoky black suit, and the ordinary face transformed by taking an easy-to-change pill couldn’t hide his sharp look.

“I heard from the robot butler that your grades have been very good these past few months,” the head of the orphanage said, with a hint of scrutiny in his tone. “If I didn’t know better, I would have thought our little Yu An had gone somewhere for tutoring, as if he had suddenly become enlightened.”

Little Yu An’s heart tensed up immediately, but remembering what the little monster had said, he tried his best to put on a cold face and replied,

“I still want to ask, Father… the questions you gave me are not stimulating at all!”

The moment his voice fell, the suffocating feeling in the air suddenly dissipated.

The head of the orphanage laughed heartily, seemingly very happy, like a father hoping his son would become a dragon, and hugged him tightly.

Little Yu An’s hair stood on end, but in order not to be discovered, he could only stiffen his body, pretending to be well-behaved and holding back all emotions.

The head of the orphanage had a faint medicinal scent.

Little Yu An was very unfamiliar with it.

But Yu An always felt as if he had smelled it somewhere in the Space-Time Bureau!

“Our little Yu An is so cute. I like children who look pure and innocent like little angels, but are actually as black as coal inside,” the head of the orphanage said with a smile, carefully examining his face. “If I could, I would like to have one myself.”

Yu An: “…”

His fists hardened.

If you want to have one, go and have one yourself, why do you have to hurt his family?

If he wasn’t trapped in the body in the memory, he really wanted to give the person in front of him a sword.

Feeling the little dumpling trembling in his arms, Tan Si had a moment when he wanted to throw this disappointing milk child out.

But when he lowered his head, he saw the look in the little cub’s eyes, which seemed to reveal a burst of coldness.

Oh? It seems he has been trained well these days.

His mood inexplicably improved a lot, and he continued to say in a good-tempered manner: “Are you asking me why I don’t have one myself, right?”

Little Yu An felt a little inexplicable.

But he did want to know the answer, wanted to know why the head of the orphanage was so cruel… to kill his mom and dad.

Tan Si didn’t know what funny thing he thought of, and laughed heartily:

“To tell you the truth, little Yu An, my wife is a man and can’t have children. It’s fine that he has the exact same face as me, but he’s also very fierce, and thinks about chasing and killing me every day, which makes me very troubled.”

Yu An: “…”

“But now, with little Yu An’s help, Father will no longer be afraid. But—”

The man’s tone changed, and the original lazy expression disappeared. Yu An felt as if he was pinching a rabbit, grasping the lifeline of his neck, and said:

“It’s time for me to test your true abilities.”

The look was terrifying.

After a moment, a snap of the fingers fell.

Little Yu An heard an earthquake-like sound coming from outside.

He suddenly turned his head, and through the European-style window, he could see the clock tower in the distance sinking down.

Then a basement passage appeared.

Before Yu An could recover, he found that the head of the orphanage was already holding him, and flashed to the basement entrance like black technology, and then put him down.

“Let’s go, little Yu An. As my successor, it’s time for you to understand how great and successful your father is.” Tan Si smiled very wildly, like a wanted criminal.

Yu An: “…”

You must be crazy about wanting a child.

When did I become your son?

Little Yu An looked at the scary head of the orphanage, and wanted to run away for a moment, but the promise with little Xie Jinsheng was just around the corner.

He couldn’t be suspected.

So he forcibly held back.

But after walking into the basement, little Yu An was stunned in place.

Because there was a human being locked in a cage, and a bottle of potion was placed next to it. The head of the orphanage walked over leisurely, picked up the potion, and poured it down with a smile.

In just five seconds.

Screams came from the cage, and gradually ten seconds passed, and a “roar!” came, obviously mutated.

Little Yu An’s face turned pale.

And Yu An’s pupils shrank slightly.

Because he was no stranger to the scene in front of him, because it was an infection commonly seen in the end of the world!

The truth about the emergence of infections has never been found out in the apocalypse. Even the Fire Seed Project team only found the A Lost people in the end.

But if all this…

Is related to this masked head of the orphanage?

What exactly does this madman want to do!
