Bai Xiaoqian's mother, Bai Meng, was silent for a long time, then slowly opened her mouth.
In fact, it is not a very distant story, but her ethereal posture makes people feel as if she is telling a legend that has a long history.
"I am an imprisoned 'primitive'—Qiu Feishuang and Feng Ruye are also... But we are not from the same era. In their time, this kind of behavior has been restrained a lot—"
"Plain body..."
"Yeah, it was a base for breeding guinea pigs—" Bai Meng wiped his eyes with his fingers: "That's when I lost my eyes..."
"Legs, too?"
“…”
Bai Meng didn't say much, but from her expression one could already tell everything——
If you think about it carefully, Qiu Feishuang and Feng Ruye really sound like a pair of names.
Chu Shangli had wanted to complain about this before - but this wasn't a coincidence, it was something like a code name -
"Where is classmate Bai Xiaoqian?"
"She..." Bai Meng was silent for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Since she is my daughter, then of course she was once a 'primitive body' - of course the cause and effect may be reversed, but she is indeed a 'primitive body'."
Chu Shangli thought about Bai Meng's words for a moment and quickly understood the meaning of Bai Meng's words.
In other words, Bai Xiaoqian is actually...
"During their captivity, the food provided was specially cultivated 'oats', dripped with lemon juice to remove the medicinal taste. Therefore, I don't think anyone who has walked out of the small garden would like that food. After all, it represents pain, fear - perhaps even death -"
Chu Shangli recalled that in his previous life, when he was at a shop selling oatmeal snacks, there would always be people showing disgusted expressions - even Chu Moyin had a disgusted expression -
"What kind of medicine is that?"
"There are all kinds of them." Bai Meng replied, "For example, like me, I take drugs that weaken and cripple the body, and then try to use special treatment methods to see if it can be cured-"
"So, it's... a failure?"
Chu Shangli thought that he had asked a rather boring question—
Isn't this obvious and natural?
If he hadn't failed, Bai Meng wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.
“If we talk about success or failure—I think it was a success.”
"Ah, as expected, it succeeded..." Chu Shangli repeated melancholy, and suddenly screamed: "What? Success... success?"
"Well, the research on restoring vision and limb function has actually been successful—"
"Then how do you..."
"After all, their research isn't aimed at a cure, but rather at long-term medication. So I have to rely on medication to stay normal, and that also leads to organ failure." Bai Meng's fingers rubbed her legs, moving to her lower abdomen. "But thankfully, I stopped taking the drugs relatively early, so I haven't had any serious complications. I just have occasional heartaches. Anyone with more severe symptoms would have died by now."
The Cheshire Cat smiled at Chu Shangli——
Chu Shangli saw a hint of terror in that smile——
Is the subtle connection they have established with each other actually because they are all victims within the empire?
Perhaps the purpose of their union is to take revenge on the perpetrators?
Regarding the possibility that none of the empire's top brass knew about it—Chu Shangli believed that there was not even a one in ten thousand chance—
So, it wasn't that I was caught up in a terrible situation, but rather that I was too indifferent to everything in my previous life...
