Chapter 45
Bang!
Han Baowang exerted all his strength again, but it was no use; the wall stood firmly on it without moving an inch.
He's eating and drinking well here, and living quite comfortably.
Even to maintain his mental well-being, he can be taken to the base periodically.
But for five whole years, he stayed here and never left.
The reason he wasn't in such a hurry to leave before was because of Jie Laoban's prophecy. He believed that Jie Laoban wouldn't harm him, and why should he rush back when there was so much good food and drink here? But he never expected that he would stay for five years.
He seemed uneasy, and the defenses became even tighter, preventing him from leaving.
This undoubtedly increased his anxiety.
"Tsk!" He sank down and began to ram his head against the wall recklessly, but the wall did not budge.

"I have a question," the doctor said, looking at the director who was giving a passionate speech.
The director tilted his head. "What's wrong?"
"Why is Hōji the second male lead? Didn't he die? And isn't the main character Aji the same as Kendall?" the doctor asked, finally getting to the question he'd been wanting to ask.
The events of a few years ago also left a deep impression on him. He knew very well that Huiji was dead, and even though the mastermind behind his death was too weak to do anything.
That doesn't change the fact that they are dead.
Did that novel only cover their lives up to when they were teenagers before they died?
Aji knew that he himself was part of God, so God, out of interest, used a great deal of "power" to create a new Aji.
But is that still Kentucky Fried Chicken? He prefers to call it Aji.
The doctor noticed that the director was silent, which meant that his friend was hiding something from him again.
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down... Ugh! I can't calm down anymore.
The fist was about to hit his face.
The director calmly said, "I have to attend a base meeting later." His words implied that it wouldn't be good if his reputation were damaged.
Hah—bang
More than ten years ago
"Mom! There's someone here!" a boy with messy hair and no visible eyes answered happily.
"Who are you calling! How many times have I told you to call me 'Sister'!" No one could be seen, but a voice came from somewhere. "Damn! Why are there so many thorns here! It's all that old tortoise shell's fault!"
"But you're the one who taught me to call you Mom!" the boy said, shaking his head.
"When you were a dog, no one knew you called me Mom! Now that you're a human, I've never been in a relationship and don't want to be a mother!" The owner of that voice finally overcame numerous difficulties and came to the boy's side.
She has delicate features, bright and lively eyes, and a pretty bracelet on her wrist.
“Baby…” The girl looked at the haggard-looking boy lying on the ground, “Do you think Old Turtle Shell was this handsome when he was young?”
"I don't know what you humans mean by beauty or ugliness, but I think Mom is the most beautiful! This human is the second most beautiful I've ever seen." The baby excitedly tossed his long, uncut hair.
When it was happy, its tail popped out and it wagged happily.
"Really..." The girl sighed helplessly, as this personality dictated her personality perfectly.
She was asked by Old Turtle Shell to pick someone up here a few months ago, and although it was said to be a few days, she ended up waiting for several months.
He made a crazy prediction that he would have a son. Please, he's been single for decades, where did a son suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Fortunately, we arrived, but... we didn't see Old Turtle Shell. I guess he won't be coming back. Oh well, I've picked him up. Old Turtle Shell, I don't owe you any favors anymore. She doesn't want to owe anyone a favor after she's dead.
"Let's go, baby, let's go out." The girl stretched lazily.
The baby turned into a giant dog... I'm not a wolf, although I look a lot like a dog.
The baby she has now was found by her; it was originally a dirty little dog.
I took him in because I felt sorry for him.
I never expected it to turn into a human! Although it looks like it's in its teens, it's actually less than a year old.
She didn't even know who she was, but she had a vague sense of familiarity with the dog. Although the dog was convinced that it had never seen her before, that wasn't necessarily true. After all, the dog might have simply forgotten.
After drifting aimlessly for a while, I documented a place called Big Base.
Inside, she met an old tortoise shell that immediately annoyed her.
But he saved her life, so she owed him a favor. One day a few months later, he said he was going to find his son and asked her to meet him there, but he didn't give a specific time.
Then she and her dog stayed there for three months.
What a loss! She only took one month off in three months!
Before she knew it, a day had passed. She carried the child back to the base, placed him on the bed, and applied the necklace to the child's wound. In the blink of an eye, the wound was healed. If he weren't still breathing, she would have thought he had died.
After waiting all night, she finally heard a dog barking just as dawn was breaking. Without even washing up, she immediately put on her clothes and ran over.
Oh no, the dog-shaped baby is going to destroy the house!
Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I saw the scene I had expected: a huge dog that almost completely destroyed half of the house.
Then there was the child they had just rescued, baring his teeth and confronting the dog.
"Woof woof woof!" The baby jumped around excitedly, as if it had found a new toy.
"Hiss—" The child made a threatening sound, imitating some animal.
Seeing this, she hardened up; her fists truly hardened.
Bang bang bang!
With a few punches, everything was settled. Seeing the two obediently sitting on the sofa, she nodded in satisfaction. That's how it should be.
"Alright, the two of you shake hands."
The two glared at each other, but under pressure, the man and his dog shook hands and made peace.
"Then apologize to each other."
...
The two stared at each other for a second, then the child quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
The baby stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his eyes gleaming with a clear, undisguised glint: How could you be so shameless?
The child accepted it without hesitation; having spent so much time inside, he naturally understood the importance of being pragmatic.
The girl was amused and patted the baby's head. "Okay, apologize."
The baby was reluctant but still apologized. He's a good baby, not a bad dog.
"Alright, kid, I'm asking you... uh, is your father dead?"
She was straightforward, guileless, and powerful, but this woman meant no harm, and the child lowered his eyes.
"Father?" He was somewhat confused.
"Huh?" The girl realized the problem and accurately grasped the key point: "How did you get out?"
Add to that a strong intuition.
"I...I was sent by someone like me." The child was a little uneasy. Could she have picked up the wrong person? Although he didn't understand why the person who had been imprisoning him would give him this thing, what if the child who gave him the key was the one they were looking for?
"The same kind of people?" The girl raised an eyebrow. She didn't understand the so-called selection of the Holy Son; she knew nothing about it.
The child eventually confessed everything; he still disliked intuitive people the most.
Because of the backlighting, the child couldn't see the girl's expression clearly.
But after a few minutes she sighed, then hugged him gently.
"That kind of place is terrifying."
The children suddenly felt wronged. They were abandoned in that place from birth. No, it wasn't birth but manufacturing. They were like machines being mass-produced, one similar yet different embryo after another, and then the inferior products were eliminated. But they were also born with knowledge, with common sense instilled in them that only killing could ensure survival.
But he never cries, because he would lose water and become even hungrier and weaker, so... he won't cry.
But just as his eyes turned slightly red...
Suddenly he felt something warm pressed against his back, which made him freeze for a moment... Huh?
"Waaaaah, you're so pitiful! I promise I'll treat you well for the rest of my life!" The baby hugged him, tears streaming down her face like a fountain.
***...I was just about to cry, I was just getting all emotional! I didn't even cry!
...
"Hey, stop crying, you crybaby. Even though you're tall, you're still a kid." The child chuckled.
"I'm not a child! I'm a wolf!" Baby instantly shrank back.
Let's get back to the main topic.
"Cough cough cough, you must be the person I'm looking for," she said firmly.
Why? Is it still intuition?
“That old tortoise shell is your biological father. He predicted that the child who comes out of that place will definitely be his child. Predictions never go wrong. I don’t know what went wrong inside, but I can be sure that you are his child. But your father didn’t come out, so he probably died. So you are an orphan now. So I formally invite you to join me and become…my family.”
The girl reached out her hand to the child.
The child slowly placed his hand on it.
What's your name?
As if possessed, he uttered the name the boy had mentioned, "Kairozaka..."
"Huh?" The girl leaned down and sat down. "Well, we're quite destined to meet, aren't we? My name is Burger King."
Jie Laoban was a little puzzled. He felt that their names were completely unrelated.
The girl laughed out loud, "I am a person without a past. No one knows me, and I have no memories of the past. But I vaguely remember wanting to eat Burger King before I came here. Although I have never seen it in this world, maybe if you find me, you will know who I am."
"I remember Jieluozaka and Burger King were supposed to be together, but why? I don't remember."
Then the last memory was of pulling out a dictionary (originally intended to teach the baby to read, but I didn't expect that he hadn't finished learning Arabic numerals after so long).
Burger King gently let Jie Laoban choose his favorite character, and in the end, his name was decided to be Jie Laoban.
A slight pain woke Jie Laoban, who opened his eyes impatiently.
I finally had a wonderful dream. It's been so long since I've seen you in my dreams, sister.
Even if that stupid wolf doesn't remember your wish, I will still fulfill it for you.
He couldn't help but look at the bracelet wrapped around his hand again and again. He had specifically asked that stupid wolf for it when it went to that base. Otherwise, how could he have survived these past few years?
I hope that director can stop you, baby.
