"dad!"

Upon hearing this resounding title, Xu Shi felt as if his heart and lungs had stopped.

To be honest, this wasn't the first time he'd been called that. Xia Ke'an had used that nickname countless times along the way, and the girls had been teasing him about it these past few days.

but.

They are different in nature.

Others call it a joke, a playful term used between couples.

Miss Saintess, you really are calling her that.

Xu Shi vaguely remembered a picture book she had read before, which said that the first person a duckling sees after it is born will be considered its mother.

She's starting to think that way now.

Do you remember who you are?

He tried to communicate with the other party.

"Hmm..."

Miss Saint tried hard to recall, then shook her head sadly, "Why is Daddy so mean to me? Does he not want me anymore?"

Oh, right, I forgot she doesn't have a name, only a code name.

After asking a series of random questions, Xu Shi finally confirmed a fact.

The child has gone mad.

Or, to put it another way, their intellectual level has regressed to that of a five- or six-year-old.

He finally understood what "erasure" meant when "Tianli" mentioned it. It didn't seem to be about killing someone directly, but rather a relatively gentle process of erasing their memories.

That's quite humanitarian, isn't it?

Xu Shi didn't know what to say.

To put it bluntly, given her current state, it's clear that she has no chance of extracting any information about "natural law," which is precisely what the other party aims for.

On the bright side, the other person didn't die and even treated him like family.

This is actually a good thing, after all, Miss Saintess is also an S-rank "ascended person". Now that the situation has become like this, it seems that we can make use of it?

Especially don't forget, she possesses dual superpowers, and can even use "human manipulation" to control the SS-rank Pope!

"Do you still remember... how to use your abilities?"

He tried to guide the other person.

"ability?"

The saintess, whose IQ had dropped, struggled to understand for a while before suddenly realizing, "Daddy wants to watch me play with the doll?"

As she spoke, she fidgeted with her fingers, seemingly confused.

Then.

On the operating table not far away, the frail old pope suddenly sat up.

"Alas!"

Gu Yi, who was standing to the side, instinctively jumped back a step. Even though she had witnessed the other party's abilities before, she was still frightened by what she saw.

The main reason is that the environment here is also gloomy. After the previous extermination of the Papacy, several valuable prisoners had to be taken in, but they couldn't be too blatant. In the rush, they just modified a part of this big house.

It was changed to the style requested by Xie Qingyan, equipped with the treatment chambers of Night Sin City, and all kinds of medical equipment. To put it bluntly, it was a temporary hospital.

As for the old Pope, of course, it was something Xu Shi had deliberately acquired, and it had always been kept in a corner.

So many days have passed, yet he hasn't rotted or smelled bad, presumably because the Holy Maiden used some method to preserve his body from decay.

Of course, Xu Shi and his group also had similar technology, so it wasn't difficult.

Perhaps startled by Miss Black Rabbit's scream, the Saintess, who had just regained some composure, suddenly froze, her hands hanging helplessly in the air, and the old Pope also collapsed again.

Thump.

"I...I didn't mean to..."

She panicked instantly, looking helplessly at Xu Shi, tears streaming down her face, "Dad, I didn't mean to, please don't hit me..."

emmm...

Xu Shi's eye twitched.

Although the current situation is not bad, he still can't quite understand why the other party is so determined to have him as their father.

To be honest, he hadn't had much contact with children before, let alone children like this; it was a knowledge gap for him.

If the Saintess is truly an immature, powerful individual, then so be it.

The key is that this guy had set up such a big scheme before, and he was determined to kill her. That kind of resentment can't be erased just by wiping her memory now.

But she looked so pitiful now, with her big eyes brimming with tears. Even though Mr. Xu had spent twenty years killing fish at RT-Mart in his previous life, and his heart was as cold as the knife in his hand, he still couldn't help but feel moved when he saw her.

"Okay, okay, it's not your fault, don't cry."

So in the end, he could only offer some awkward words of comfort, which finally stopped the saintess from crying.

"Thank you, Dad. Dad is so good, Dad is the best."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

Xu Shi nodded perfunctorily.

What are you doing?

Just then, Xie Qingyan rushed over, "The patient has just woken up, how can you let him handle him like this?"

"Shanshan too, didn't I tell you not to be stimulating? She's so lazy, she can't even do this simple thing right, I'll dock her pay!"

She's been busy taking care of these "patients" these past few days, and has been working herself to the bone. She just finished processing all sorts of data files and was planning to come over and check on their condition.

As a result, we saw Xu Shi treating Miss Saintess like a toy.

The entire family was speechless.

"Shall we talk outside?"

Xu Shi expressed his understanding and gestured to her.

"Walk."

"You should get some rest first."

Xu Shi glanced at the Saintess again, "Children who don't sleep well won't grow tall."

"Uh-huh!"

Miss Saint nodded repeatedly, indicating that she was being obedient, and lay back down.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu, you've gained such a wonderful daughter at such a young age."
