Chapter 38 ...
The days that followed flew by, almost like fast-forwarding, in the doctor's eyes.
The training was monotonous and boring, and the daily routine was mundane.
Several years have passed, and that child is now fourteen or sixteen years old.
The reason he gave such a rough estimate was because he genuinely didn't know how old the child was.
The doctor yawned, looking somewhat bored.
The child has become incredibly strong; at least in this land, no other child should be able to defeat him.
The uncle returned home excitedly that day, saying he felt like he had found his child.
Upon hearing a clear sound, Aji's hand clenched suddenly, then slowly relaxed, revealing a smile devoid of any gloom.
"Congratulations, Uncle. Are you leaving with him?"
The uncle sighed, "That child doesn't trust me."
Then he hurriedly went out again.
For the next few days, the uncle was nowhere to be seen; it was obvious he had gone to see his children.
Aji remained expressionless. He knew that the so-called child didn't trust him and wouldn't last long.
After all, most of the children here yearn for the light.
Aji lowered her head with a gloomy expression, staring at the ground, her face obscured.
But the doctor, who had witnessed everything that happened to Aji from beginning to end, naturally understood what had occurred.
"I thought... it would be fine if I just hid it."
Aji lowered her head and muttered to herself.
The doctor couldn't help but shudder, even though Aji here looked just like the child he had seen at the research institute before.
Appearance, and superficial personality... at least superficial, of course, because this child is faking it.
He looked so sunny and cheerful that even the uncle lowered his guard and took care of him wholeheartedly.
However, he could tell that when the boy was at the research institute, he really didn't have much of a brain; he was completely devoted to his supervisor.
However, this child is obsessive and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even though Aji is still quite young.
Like a child who must have their own things they like, and if they can't have them themselves, they will never let anyone else have them.
The doctor slowly followed behind Aji, watching his actions.
Aji went out the door, and there was a river in front of the door. He suddenly plunged into the water and drifted downstream.
Seeing that it was about time, I surfaced and entered an undercurrent, which led to a cave.
Aji slowly climbed ashore, taking her time and not in a hurry at all, giving off a somewhat nonchalant feeling.
As she was walking, Aji suddenly stepped on something soft and flimsy.
It seemed like only then that I realized I had stepped on something, and I slowly moved my foot away.
He squatted down and said, "Sorry, I didn't see you just now. Did I hurt you?"
Ah Ji's smile was so sunny; I thought to myself, isn't that Ah Ji's signature smile? The curve of it hasn't changed at all.
How come I didn't notice anything amiss when we were at the research institute? That smile is obviously a deliberate act, isn't it?
And the person whose hand was stepped on, yes, there was someone hiding at the bottom of this cave.
The man opened his eyes; he was starving and on the verge of death, having not eaten for three days.
He certainly recognized this person; this person resembled him and was one of the 200 people.
However, the difference is that three years ago, he robbed him of his things by the river and almost killed him.
It's a pity he got away in the end. If he had another chance, he would definitely kill him.
This person found him a year later, even though he had moved to a different place.
But by then he was no match for Aji.
Then when he woke up again, he was already here.
This strange person will say some strange things to him.
Bringing him here won't starve him, but it will leave him with no energy to do anything else.
The food they brought him was only a small amount, just enough to keep him from starving.
We can't beat them in a fight, there's nothing we can do.
As expected, Aji did bring food this time, and he ate some, somewhat eagerly but also restrainedly.
Because he knew that this food would be his amount for the next five days.
However, this food might only last him less than two days.
He ate his food quietly, needless to say, he knew that this strange person was staring at his face again.
Why didn't you kill him when you had the ability to do so? Why leave him here half-dead and barely alive?
"Looking at it this way, you and Uncle really do look alike..."
125 ignored him. For two whole years, he had been muttering about some things in a daze.
"I really envy you."
125 glared at him. The reason he dared to glare at him was because he realized that no matter what he did, he wouldn't hit him, he would just not let him go out or give him enough food.
But it's actually not too bad, because he needs to be active when he's out, and he also has to eat irregularly, sometimes hungry and sometimes full.
What does he have to envy? He should be the one envying him. He possesses such great strength.
“I used to think that as long as I hid, everything would be fine, but today Uncle said he found his child. Does that mean he’s leaving now that he’s found his child?”
Aji was talking to him again, but 125 ignored him and didn't seem to mind.
The doctor was there marveling at the sight.
It's true that environment shapes personality. At least the director doesn't know what method he used to turn this stubborn Aji into an obedient big dog.
Then she stayed there for a while, spacing out. After knocking 125 unconscious, Aji jumped back into the water.
As the water flows downstream, 125 will not be able to find this place.
Then he got up outside and hurried back to "home".
As Aji had predicted, the so-called uncle's child quickly fell for it.
He followed his uncle and obediently called him father.
Then the uncle led him to him and said, "Call me brother."
The child obediently called out; this child was ranked in the top 12.
Aji smiled and smiled, sharing her food with the child.
Then I played with that child every day.
Uncle was somewhat relieved, but then he noticed that Ah Ji seemed a little off.
However, he thought it was because Aji felt that he would not like him as much anymore since he had another child, just like children always compete for attention. So he brought Aji to his side and had a heart-to-heart talk with her.
"You have to believe that all children are expected by their parents, and maybe your father is looking for you out there too."
Uncle comforted her.
The 12-year-old girl happily said, "I will definitely find my brother's father, and then our family will live together."
Aji smiled broadly, seemingly deeply moved.
But after the two people left, Aji touched the knife behind her back.
"A family?" The doctor could practically read every micro-expression on his face. "Just an imposter."
In the following period, Uncle began to plan his escape.
The uncle had told him that he was able to come to this place because he had a rather advanced tool.
His friend gave him a spatial tool that allowed him to travel between the two places by leaving a location.
However, this thing can only teleport one person, and he only has one teleportation opportunity left, so if he wants to take them out, he has to make other plans.
The doctor knew clearly that the child inside, Aji, was nearing the end of her life.
Is it really okay to go out?
Is it to preserve a ray of light in her heart? So, does this so-called Aji really have an Oedipus complex?
He seems to really like Uncle, and they're about the same age.
Hmm~ No way, could it be that this Aji is using the director as a stand-in?
They yearn for the outside world.
He began to describe the beauty of the outside world. Was the outside world really that beautiful? Aji didn't know, but he loved his current life very much, though he didn't like the child.
What puzzled him was that he wasn't that child, was he? He wasn't his uncle's child.
Why doesn't Uncle check? You can find out if you check that he's not actually Uncle's child.
Sometimes plans can never keep up with changes.
When he saw his uncle again, he only saw a deformed monster.
His entire body was covered in fleshy lumps, countless eyes, tentacles of all sizes, and wriggling genitals. He seemed happy to see Aji; he didn't know how to describe his feelings, or perhaps he didn't feel anything at all.
Finally, the uncle weakly begged Ah Ji to take his child out of the house.
Then he handed the spatial artifact to Aji. This thing could teleport a person out, so if he had used it, he could have escaped. Unfortunately, he didn't use it.
He said that the only person he felt sorry for in his life was the child he had conceived unexpectedly.
He had already arranged everything for the child, including special items that could be used to change his appearance, as well as enough food, water, and money.
The doctor could sense Aji's inner conflict. He was torn between revealing that the person was actually an imposter and whether he should tell her that he had already found his son.
But in the end, he didn't say any of those words. He only said one sentence: "And what about me?"
So he's going to stay here forever, serve God forever, and be an unknowing and unaware tool forever?
The uncle barely opened his eyes, which were swollen and barely visible.
He wanted to say something, or perhaps comfort her, but in the end, he didn't utter a word. Instead, he made gurgling sounds, and his mouth began to mutate.
Aji sat inside for a long time, until her uncle was completely alienated.
Then he secretly returned "home," where the so-called imposter brother was still sleeping, completely unaware of anything.
He left quietly and went to wake him up.
Uncle is dead... killed by the so-called god.
Uncle has been discovered.
"Come on, I'll take you to see the outside world," Aji said with a gentle smile.
12, somewhat dazed, stared at Aji, who was soaked to the bone.
