Chapter 19 Many times he felt it was amazing, that fate was so wondrous.
He often felt it was amazing, that fate was so wondrous.
Maidangluo called over her assistant.
He was going to pick up his alternate accounts, and although he might have missed two, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Director, what are we going to do this time?" the assistant asked, somewhat puzzled.
The director rarely goes out under normal circumstances.
The furthest distance is probably between the lab and his home.
And now he actually wants to go out, even though the parasitic incident has just been resolved.
Even though the director may seem to have a lot of free time, he is actually very busy.
And then, to make matters worse, a spy took two children away.
One of them was a hero who had just resolved the matter, so the atmosphere at the base was somewhat heavy.
"Go pick them up," the director said succinctly.
Although she knew a little about the inside story, such as the fact that the child was a spy, quite a few people actually knew this, but the commander said that he had a plan, so everyone just kept quiet.
Of course, she knew that what happened next was something the director probably hadn't anticipated.
Even though they knew about the director, and although they were instructed to search for him, they didn't seem very worried or anxious, as if it were just an ordinary staff member who had gone missing.
The doctor standing next to him could tell what the assistant was thinking at a glance. Of course, he didn't really agree with the assistant's idea; he thought that perhaps the director trusted him.
I believe those children will definitely come back...
At that moment, McDangCheese sneezed, somewhat rudely.
Oh no, I didn't expect the weather to be so cold. He came here wearing only a white coat to wait for me.
It really chilled his spirits. Why did he even bother to come out just for a little bit of style?
Just to show off?
Maidangluo glanced at the doctor and assistant standing on either side of her.
I don't know why, but they just stood in that position on their own.
A tripartite balance of power.
There are many times when he feels that the world is unreal.
This world has many illusory elements.
It was clearly just an ordinary trip in his eyes, but judging from the way he acted, it felt like a filter had been added, making him appear even more imposing.
Moreover, even though he was just running an ordinary research institute, for some reason everyone saw him as a mysterious big boss.
Because he is so, so ordinary.
Moreover, he discovered that many people in this world have their own unique characteristics and possess a heroic quality.
He is a very pure person.
Take the fox clan for example. They sacrificed themselves heroically, showing no regard for their own deaths. They are truly heroic.
Only heroes are so fearless and so determined to move forward toward their goals.
There were no demons in this world before because the gods helped them gain sentience.
Of course, whether this god is actually a god is unknown.
But they were leaving, and each tribe happened to have a divine child.
They can predict the future, but this prediction is useless; they will still follow the prediction anyway.
That was their faith, the command of the god they revered.
In their view, without God, they might still be just a group of nameless animals, at the mercy of others, so in their hearts, freedom is much more precious than life.
Their deaths simply set their souls free.
They stood at the edge of the forest, waiting.
They looked incredibly imposing, especially the guy in the middle wearing a white coat with his hands in his pockets, who made him seem even more mysterious.
But in reality...
McDang Cheese—he was almost frozen to death, at least he could put his hands in his pockets to warm them up.
Seriously, I didn't even realize how cold it was outside. The other two accounts didn't seem to feel anything at all.
I waited for about ten minutes.
Finally, a figure appeared, and everyone instinctively became wary.
Then they noticed that it was a little girl, but although she was very cute, she was clearly not one of the two children who had gone missing from their base.
And it's clearly a girl, with two cute ears on her head.
The assistant seemed puzzled. A demon?
In this era, demons were no longer legendary creatures; she had naturally heard of them, though she had never seen one.
Because demons usually live in seclusion, she may have had fantasies in her childhood about what she wanted, but now that she's grown up, she's more wary.
Fortunately, the child stopped within the warning area.
Then suddenly he noticed that the director had moved; he calmly took a step forward.
Then he picked the girl up in his arms. Between a teenage girl and an adult woman, she could be considered a girl, at least in terms of appearance.
It felt like something precious, like someone who had been in the cold wind for a long time finally finding a stove, and holding it tightly in their arms, drawing warmth from it.
After bringing the girl back, he strode forward.
The assistant was taken aback. "Director, aren't you waiting for KFC and Huiji?"
"Did I say I was waiting for them? The two of them won't be coming back, but at least there's one left, isn't there?" With that, the director didn't turn around and carried the girl straight toward the base.
After thinking for a moment, and realizing they hadn't followed, he added, "Go back. You won't see them today, at least not today."
I don't know when I'll be able to reunite with my old accounts; they've all gone their separate ways now.
However, he believed that Jiao Qianyu would definitely come knocking on his door soon.
After all, he's put pressure on them many times; he'll definitely come, right? That incident happened at their base.
The assistant and doctor following behind them had complicated expressions, and it was unclear what they were thinking.
Of course, McDangluo wasn't thinking about anything else. It was just too cold, and this vest was a lifesaver. It kept her warm, and she needed to hurry back to the base to enjoy the air conditioning.
After we get back...
The assistant looked at the girl sitting on the floor, dressed in exquisite clothes, and finally couldn't help but ask a question.
"Are you planning to let them stay at the base like the other two children?" The assistant was genuinely puzzled; this was the third time.
"Yes, is there a problem?" McDangluo looked quite puzzled, as if he didn't understand why he asked that.
The assistant took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm.
"At the very least, we should investigate her background first, right?" After all, this girl didn't come from their base; she came in from outside. Who knows if she's someone's spy? Besides, her superior probably isn't seeing her for the first time either.
They picked him up so quickly without even checking if his parents were still around. It's impossible that the adult was naive and grabbed him just because he was pretty...
It seems there might actually be that possibility.
Before the two children appeared, the assistant, who had always thought the director was the most upright person, fell into deep thought.
Based on his recent actions, it might actually be true.
Before long, at least the young woman had begun to think about how she should explain things if the child's parents came to her door, or how much compensation she should offer, or perhaps...
Anyway, if the director really likes her, there's no way the girl will return it. Compared to those two boys, this girl is a much better choice! Because she's a girl!
Perhaps it would be better to follow the director in this world?
No, no, she can't go off-topic. She needs to solve the immediate problem first. The identities of the first two children haven't even been investigated yet, and now the director has taken the third one.
"If you ask this girl about her background, she can tell you herself. Just ask her directly later, she'll definitely answer. I know my little one's parents, and I'll raise this child until he grows up safely, don't worry..."
"Chief, Jiao Qianyu from the Jiaogan base suddenly showed up. He says you kidnapped his daughter, and he's here to get her back..."
The assistant's death stare—
The doctor said I should just smile.
————
Jiao Qianyu was also holding her breath at this moment, determined to get her daughter, who was related to her by blood, back no matter what.
No matter what, she is his daughter.
Moreover, he felt that he would definitely not have time to date, get married, or have children in the future. Now that he had someone ready-made, it would be great to train her to be the leader.
After waiting for ages, we finally met this so-called director.
Although we've dealt with each other many times, seeing him again still makes me marvel at how this young man has achieved so much at such a young age.
He had originally intended to engage in the usual bureaucratic exchanges of flattery and back-and-forth, but what he saw first was Maidangluo, holding his daughter.
It's the kind of thing that holds her whole body firmly in front of your chest.
"Let go of my daughter!" The air seemed to freeze as these words were uttered, and both sides were clearly a little embarrassed.
I managed to calm myself down.
"Thank you, Director, for saving my daughter. But now that her father is here, shouldn't you be able to return my daughter to me?"
"...No..." Because he arrived so quickly, McDangluo hadn't put on any clothes in the rush and was now only keeping warm in this vest.
Of course, that doesn't stop him from being furious right now.
I never expected that when I considered you my rival, you would want to be my father!
Does this persona have a father? You're just making things up!
He was quite angry, and he immediately refused.
“...I know it might require some bargaining chips, but although I haven’t found everyone from both of your bases, I have found one of them. Let’s make a trade.”
Jiao Qianyu immediately began the negotiation process.
It was truly unexpected.
That was such a blunt rejection; those two words just popped out.
"No need. You can keep the child if you want, but I'll keep him." He gestured with his arms towards the girl in his arms.
"Why, you ask? Of course, it's because he's very cute, prettier than the other two kids."
A silent atmosphere spread from the director's side all the way to the other side...
