Chapter 126 “I’ll Protect You” (8)

The human in the cage had completely turned into an infected, and the Dean picked up another tube of blue liquid, walking towards little Yu An.

Then he uncovered the red cloth beside him.

Inside was a child about the same age as him.

“Good boy, little Yu An, now pour the liquid down.” The Dean said, “Let me see how well you’ve learned these past few days.”

Little Yu An was trembling all over, and a strong sense of discomfort and nausea was welling up inside him. Especially since that scene of his parents’ bloody video flashed through his mind.

“I don’t want to…” his eyes were red, “You are a bad person.”

The Dean paused for a few seconds, his face instantly changing upon hearing his words.

“Half a year, and you still can’t even learn to kill. Useless thing, how did the magic circle summon you?”

Little Yu An was pushed with force and fell onto the table, his forehead hitting the corner of the table, causing blood to flow. But he didn’t cry, his red eyes stubbornly glaring.

The little boy’s wet, soft eyes stared at him with unusual annoyance.

Tan Si was stunned by the sight.

That look reminded him of someone.

That person had the exact same face as him.

Clearly, they were the same person.

But why was the other person dressed in white, a god revered by ten thousand people from atop the high platform, while he had to prostrate himself at his feet like a handful of despised mud?

“Similar, too similar.”

Little Yu An and Yu An simultaneously heard the Dean opposite them, staring at him and saying, “I really hate your eyes, so much like him, shall I gouge them out?”

Little Yu An was stunned.

Before he could react, his neck was grabbed. A sharp blade suddenly approached.

“Don’t…” The well-behaved, soft little dumpling choked up, the corners of his eyes turning red. The fear of the past six months was finally too much to bear. He cried loudly, feeling both wronged and sad.

…Clearly just a human cub.

But inexplicably, Tan Si felt a moment of difficulty in taking action. Looking at the frightened child huddled into a small ball, his thoughts inexplicably returned to a long time ago—

Back when he was still an ordinary child without split personalities, just a child who had lost his family.

One snowy night.

He was homeless, with the howls of wolves behind him, shivering and turning red from the cold as he huddled behind a rock. He was also trembling this badly.

At that time, the first wish he made was not to gain the world’s strongest power, but—

“Although I was born with evil in me, if someone can save me at this moment… then in the future, I will definitely save more people.”

That day, someone did save him, taking him up the immortal mountain, but it was also from that day on that he developed his second personality.

The other person was good to the extreme, called a god.

And he remained evil to the extreme, not recognized by anyone, not even himself. Even his original name was stripped away.

Lost in thought like this.

The boy had already bitten him hard, drawing blood, and broke free from his grasp.

Little Yu An huddled in the corner, thinking he definitely wouldn’t make it through tonight.

The Dean, not knowing what he was thinking, finally dropped the knife on the ground, leaving a sentence: “When you’ve thought it through, you can crawl back out.”

He didn’t harm him.

However, from that day on, Little Yu An was locked in the basement, deprived of all freedom.

It was very dark there, without a single ray of light.

And no one to talk to.

Little Yu An curled up in the corner, always feeling that something terrible would crawl out of the darkness at any moment, swallowing him whole.

Yu An also fell into this kind of fear, and couldn’t even feel the passage of time.

Thinking that his final fate would probably be to be locked up by the Dean like this. Then what about Xie Jinsheng? Had he already restarted the magic circle and escaped?

That would be good too.

Otherwise, Xie Jinsheng would definitely suffer a lot of torture if he fell into the Dean’s hands.

Little Yu An obviously thought the same thing.

Although he really wanted to go to the sea with the little monster, to live in other worlds together… but the Dean was too strong, they were no match for him, they couldn’t escape at all.

“Little monster, goodbye.”

You go see those worlds for me.

He said this, and fell into a daze again.

Suddenly, he heard a “bang—!” sound.

It seemed to be coming from the ventilation pipe.

Little Yu An was startled, but he had been locked in this dark place alone for days, and even if he cried, there was no response, no different from being dead.

After a long time.

His will to survive had become very weak.

He didn’t dare to cry either, he didn’t have the strength, and he was afraid that his dad and mom in heaven would see him and feel sorry for him.

He curled up in the corner like a wounded little beast.

But.

Suddenly, a beam of light flashed before his eyes.

Little Yu An was stunned, wondering if he was dreaming. When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar figure.

The ventilation shaft was too small, and the monster boy’s tentacles were twisted out of shape as he climbed in. There were also scrapes and bruises from trying to shrink his bones, and a purplish hue from suffocation.

Little Yu An was stunned.

Seeing his appearance, little Xie Jinsheng quickly walked towards him. The next second, feeling the weak and powerless Little Yu An, he threw himself into his arms. It broke his heart, and he hugged the human little boy tightly: “It’s me, I’m late.”

But he didn’t break his promise.

They were going to leave together, not one less.

The two little children held hands, avoiding the surveillance cameras, and fled this hell.

At that time, it was evening, the sky was gray and snowing, and everything was a vast expanse of white, with a thick layer of ice on the surface.

And this time, the magic circle was activated on the opposite bank of the lake.

It was still little Xie Jinsheng who had spent a lot of his supernatural powers to move the exit of the magic circle to this location.

Little Yu An hadn’t eaten for many days, and his stomach hurt badly when he ran, and he didn’t have any strength. The next second, he felt tentacles wrap around him.

The soft tentacles that had made him panic and cry when they first met were now his source of peace.

Little Xie Jinsheng picked him up in one fell swoop, his dark eyes staring at him.

This little monster, who had suffered in the laboratory and was considered by the magic circle to be born evil, had a little bright light in his eyes for the first time: “Don’t be afraid, I can protect you.”

He ran as fast as he could as if he was holding some priceless treasure, and even the suckers on his tentacles contracted with excitement.

He frantically wanted to pull this well-behaved, soft human little boy into his world from now on.

They could grow up together, go boating on the sea together, and besides these, they could do many things.

They could be together forever.

They were the best friends in the world… no, even closer than friends.

Although the little tentacle monster was mature, he was still a child after all, and didn’t understand what a relationship closer than friends was. But there was no rush.

In the future, they would have a lot of time together.

What should they be called when they grew up together?

Childhood sweethearts.

This was the newest human word he had learned.

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

It was the Dean who had caught up, blocking everything, and said coldly, “I was wondering why this little Yu An, after raising him for half a year, was still such a weak and useless ghost. Turns out I was raising the wrong person.”

“—You are the little evildoer in the magic circle.”

The Dean’s smile grew more and more wanton.

Little Xie Jinsheng pursed his lips and didn’t say a word, only silently hugging the little boy in his arms, in a protective posture.

And Little Yu An broke free from his embrace, shrinking his body in front of the little monster.

Clearly, their friendship was deep.

Looking at the two children like this.

Tan Si’s interest was somehow aroused: “Ah, you’re on such good terms? I suddenly have an idea. I can let you go—”

A light of hope immediately appeared in Little Yu An’s eyes.

He was too naive at the time.

Yu An sighed, with only a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, he heard Tan Si say: “But only one of you can live. So whoever lives in the end, my good children won’t let me down, right?”

The smile on the Dean’s lips gradually widened.

As soon as the words fell.

A sharp little knife was thrown in front of them with a “thump,” silently forcing them to make a choice.
