HISO Chapter 47
by VolareHe suddenly became very afraid that he would hesitate.
But after a moment, the boy smiled, though his eyes seemed to flicker with tears.
Before he could take a closer look, Little Jasmine buried himself in his chest, softly responding, “Okay.”
Holding the Omega in his arms, he had never been so reluctant to leave.
Because he was already his newlywed little wife, but he couldn’t fulfill a husband’s responsibilities, and couldn’t even be by his side when he was sick.
For the first time, he wanted to resist.
An idea sprang up – once Little Jasmine was rid of the poison in his body, he would take him away from this prison.
“Remember to take care of yourself.” Finally, he whispered to him, “I’ll find a way to get you out of here.”
The whisper was too soft to be captured by the monitoring.
Upon hearing this, the boy’s fingers clenched his forearm, his body seemed to tremble slightly, and the corners of his eyes became moist.
He was a little confused by his reaction.
At this moment, a slightly sharp voice broke the silence here: “What are you talking about?!”
Xie Jinsheng knew that these experimenters wouldn’t dare do anything to him, but they would interrogate Little Jasmine when they got back.
“What else can newlyweds talk about?” He sneered, protecting the boy in his arms, and looking back coldly, “Or do you also want to hear us discuss last night’s bedroom affairs?”
The experimenter indeed didn’t ask any further.
He cursed inwardly, seeming to find it unlucky.
That’s right, in their eyes, he was a dirty, lowly tentacle monster. Only Little Jasmine would treat him as a life with respect, teach him to kiss, and teach him to understand love.
Before parting.
“Xie Jinsheng,” Little Jasmine suddenly called him, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, “You have to take care of yourself in the future too.”
He wanted to say something back.
But the automatic door had already closed in front of them.
After this trip back, he had never been so obedient, just to make the others lower their guard.
Since birth, he had been locked in a cage.
A person who has been locked up for too long can’t learn to resist, let alone someone like him, an alien rejected by humans, with nowhere to go once he leaves here, and no one to accept him.
But now it was different.
Wherever Little Jasmine was, that was his home.
In just a week, he had formulated an escape plan.
Originally, he wanted to act ahead of schedule, but he discovered that the antidote information for Little Jasmine was divided into countless parts, held by a dozen different experimenters.
This was to guard against him.
But Little Jasmine would be detoxified after taking the medicine for another week, so it would be the same to act then.
However, he noticed that they seemed to be creating a new antidote recently.
Did they also want to use this method to control other monsters?
It turned out that some humans, when they turned bad, were worse than monsters.
However, he thought everything would proceed as planned, but he didn’t expect that one day, after returning from killing the infections all over the mountains and fields,
he saw a thin Beta tied up in front of him.
—It was the caregiver who usually took care of Little Jasmine.
“He tried to escape today, violating laboratory rules. A001, kill him immediately.” The mechanical voice ordered him this way.
A001 was his laboratory code.
The Beta desperately shook his head, indicating that he had not escaped.
Xie Jinsheng understood that this was a test.
In order to completely turn him into a killing tool, they began to target the people he knew.
He once thought that he lived to kill. Until one day, Little Jasmine said that although he was a tentacle monster, he wasn’t a true monster.
He didn’t act.
The people in the monitoring room probably didn’t expect him to disobey orders. They used machines to control him.
“Don’t you want the antidote anymore?” This voice carried anger.
A middle-aged Alpha man with a beer belly walked up to him. He was one of the managers in the laboratory, named Li Youde.
He raised his eyes to look at him, but he was Trance for a moment, not knowing who was the real monster: “So, this is the reason you can still stand in front of me alive.”
“You…!”
They all knew that a monster gradually growing up and becoming stronger would become difficult to control, so they found a weakness for the monster.
But by the time he understood this principle, it was too late. Everyone could see his special feelings for Little Jasmine.
They plotted to let Little Jasmine become his Omega when he lost control during his easy sensitivity period.
And those tortures that should have been used on him,
would be arranged on Little Jasmine instead in the blink of an eye.
Once he “disobeyed,” the person who would be hurt was no longer him, but his Omega.
Love should have been a sacred thing.
But they turned it into a sharp blade hanging over his head.
Li Youde said: “If he knew how his antidote was obtained, wouldn’t he think you were a monster who only knew how to kill and was beyond redemption?”
“He won’t think of me that way.” Xie Jinsheng said, “Besides, you wouldn’t dare tell him these things.”
The way they looked at him,
was like looking at a stubborn, untamable animal.
Thinking back, they would still hypocritically tell him that as a monster, being able to contribute to the Main City and the future of mankind was a gift from God.
But Little Jasmine told him personally: “Becoming a monster is not your misfortune, meeting them is.”
For the first time in twenty years, he knew what it felt like to be understood.
It turned out that he wasn’t cold-blooded. His heart would also be heated and sore under the immersion of true, pure love.
Before meeting Little Jasmine, he never, ever realized that he was actually alive.
“Yes, we wouldn’t dare tell him. Your Omega probably can’t even imagine that his daily antidote is exchanged for half of a monster’s life.” Li Youde laughed, “But you also know that even if we want to torture him, we wouldn’t bear to kill him.”
“What are you going to do to Little Jasmine?” His voice was hoarse and trembling.
They seemed to rarely see him like this, and were a little incredulous.
“We don’t want to kill him either. Several other monsters are also lacking Omegas.”
The surrounding ice shattered, and the scent of sandalwood surged. He grabbed Li Youde’s neck, pressed him against the wall, and said: “I want to see who dares to touch him.”
At that moment, his eyes must have looked like he wanted to kill someone.
Because he found that the always arrogant manager would also tremble under his knife.
“There is a self-destruct device under his bed! He also took a new poison, if you dare to hurt me, he will die the next day!”
“What did you say?” The veins on his arm bulged.
“His antidote is mixed with a new poison!”
No wonder he saw them making a new antidote before, it turned out it was for Little Jasmine to continue using.
Day after day, the antidote was mixed with new poison, and there was no way to escape forever.
Xie Jinsheng laughed.
He laughed madly.
But they all knew that he wouldn’t act.
In the vast white snow, he let go, closed his eyes, and said in a low, hoarse voice: “…Don’t hurt him.”
How could any human like to appreciate a monster’s fragility?
His appearance seemed to shock many people. Because for so many years, he had never been so much like a human being as he was at this moment.
Among the crowd, an experimenter couldn’t bear it anymore: “Professor, why don’t we just forget about it, if the dean comes back…”
“Why didn’t you speak when the monster killed humans? Don’t you know that the monsters in the North District are under my control?”
Li Youde roared so that everyone didn’t dare to speak, looking at him as if he was out of breath. Recalling the embarrassment of being choked just now, he said:
“A001, you have to show your attitude when you admit your mistake, kneel down and beg.”
His eyes were full of coldness.
Just one glance could make everyone shudder.
But he was like a helpless monster, facing such humiliation, and replied: “Okay.”
Just to beg them not to kill his lover.
But unexpectedly, the communicator suddenly rang. As soon as Li Youde answered, an anxious voice came from inside: “Professor, the one in bed 10 is gone!”
It was Little Jasmine.
“Find him quickly!” Li Youde also panicked.
The surrounding experimenters also felt a burst of palpitation when they heard this.
Xie Jinsheng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. This feeling became stronger in a few seconds.
“Don’t look for him, I’m here.”
A soft voice suddenly came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a slender and thin figure.
It was Little Jasmine.
He was standing not far behind them, not knowing how much he had heard, or perhaps he had heard everything.
The boy put the knife to his neck and said, “Let Xie Jinsheng go.”
The experimenters were also shocked.
Someone shouted: “Go get the button.”
“No need, I’ve already dismantled the electric shock device.” Little Jasmine said, in the cold wind, his sleeves slipped down a bit, revealing the marks on his wrists that had been electrically shocked.
At that moment, Xie Jinsheng suddenly understood.
Even if he begged humbly, they would still not let him go.
And his little wife had already discovered everything and planned to kill himself in exchange for his freedom.
“Little Jasmine, don’t mess around.” He had never felt so cold, from head to toe, “Put down the knife quickly.”
Little Jasmine’s body was so thin that it seemed like it would fall down with a gust of wind. Tears streamed down his eyes:
“I should have realized it sooner, they wouldn’t give me those antidotes so easily. Xie Jinsheng, you’re right, I really am an idiot…”
“It would be great if you were really an idiot, then you wouldn’t be holding a knife to yourself now.”
He wanted to get close to him, but he was afraid of stimulating him, his voice was hoarse: “Little Jasmine, let’s put down the knife and talk, okay?”
So this is what panic feels like.
He didn’t want to experience it a second time in his life.
“But, Xie Jinsheng, I don’t want to be your shackle anymore.” Little Jasmine looked at him, smiled slowly, his eyes red, “I’m so happy to be able to marry you, but it’s a pity I can’t accompany you to enjoy the spring…”
The next second.
The white snow splashed with bright red.
In the distance, there seemed to be experimenters screaming. Li Youde also knew that disaster was imminent, his face as white as a ghost.
They were all running away.
All of them were unable to breathe under the violent and crazy Alpha pheromones in the air, and were slammed against the wall.
But Xie Jinsheng couldn’t hear any of it. The noise seemed to go away in an instant.
He forgot how he could walk so fast, and caught the person in his arms.
He wanted to cover his wound, but he suddenly stopped, because he suddenly remembered that his Little Jasmine was most afraid of pain.
But now that he had bled so much, the always delicate boy didn’t cry out in pain in his arms.
“I don’t want any freedom, Little Jasmine, I just want you.”
He would rather never have the freedom at the cost of his lover’s life.
Little Jasmine wanted to raise his hand to touch his face, but he seemed to have no strength. He quickly grabbed his hand, lowered his head and leaned closer to him: “What do you want to say, I’m here.”
Little Jasmine’s voice was so soft that it seemed like it would disappear in the next second: “Promise me, never become a monster…”
“Okay, I promise you.” He responded randomly, wanting to warm his body, but found that his body temperature was rapidly fading, along with his life.
Like quicksand leaking from his fingertips.
He couldn’t grasp it no matter what.
“I love you…” The remaining half of the voice was even softer, blood gushing from the corner of Little Jasmine’s mouth, “Live on, and wait for me to come back and find you…”
“Come back, how can you come back?” He couldn’t even feel the existence of his heart anymore, his mind was chaotic, “Little Jasmine, I’ll take you away, let’s leave here.”
It seemed that once they left this hell, everything would be fine.
When breaking out of the laboratory, Xie Jinsheng’s abilities were almost exhausted, and his tentacles were broken.
But he seemed unable to feel any pain.
He hugged his little wife in his arms, walking aimlessly in one direction, unable to say whether he was escaping from purgatory or fantasizing about chasing after some scattered quicksand.
After an unknown amount of time, in the wind and snow, he suddenly saw a hundred-year-old tree.
The old and withered branches miraculously grew new shoots.
“Spring, spring is coming.” He murmured, suddenly remembering something, and quickly lowered his head and smiled: “Little Jasmine, look quickly, it’s spring…”
There was no response.
But he only touched a cold body.
Colder than ice.
—This was definitely not the body temperature of a normal person.
For a long time, he didn’t speak again, but closed his blood-red eyes, his Adam’s apple rolling, silently and morbidly hugging the person in his arms tightly.
So tightly that it seemed he wanted to embed the boy into his body, never to be separated for the rest of his life.
In the distance, the alarm for the arrest by the Main City laboratory came, one after another, deafening.
And he and his lover lay together in the snow.
Just like any ordinary and peaceful afternoon.
The wind and snow all over the sky fell on their hair.
Was this how they could be considered to have grown old together in this life?
