Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Vest King Dad 1
[Phew… That was a close call, baby, are you scared?]
9972 thought the question sounded familiar. They'd escaped in the Punishment World in a similarly thrilling way. What was wrong with the main system? Why had it given Zhuozhuo such a dangerous death escape twice in a row? Couldn't they have just escaped smoothly while unconscious like before?
But it's still a little different.
In the punishment world, it was all thanks to 9972's ability to predict danger that it was able to take the kitten Zhuozhuo out of the small world before she was harmed. In this world, however, it received an early warning - when Zhuozhuo shared the joy of having a home with it, so it was able to take her out a second before the wooden stick pierced her.
Otherwise, 9972 might not be able to respond in time. After all, who could have imagined that the probability of a wooden stick piercing the temple after falling down was extremely low?
Inexplicably, 9972 had a hunch that these two tragic escapes were not accidents, but punishments specially prepared for Shen Qingxian and Zhao Hongwei - to make them lose the most important people unexpectedly when they were most motivated, happy and satisfied.
Alas.
What a weird idea! Get rid of it!
Zhuozhuo glanced at the system space. After 9972's explanation, she understood the current situation, but she was still a little dazed. "Just like that? What if Zhao Hongwei misses Zhuozhuo?"
That was all she could think about, but 9972 didn't dare say it. It didn't even mention projecting images of the small world after Zhuozhuo's departure. Because Zhao Hongwei, that madman, was worried about Zhuozhuo being bullied in the underworld, and worried that ghosts who committed suicide and those who died accidentally wouldn't be separated, he recklessly courted death every day, encountering countless dangers and leading a thrilling and exciting life.
Although I never died, I was almost there every time. It didn't go as planned, it felt more like a punishment, tsk.
The only good news, however, is that Zhao Hongwei, in order to rationally increase his chances of death and to follow Zhuozhuo's advice and accumulate virtue, not only bravely stood up for what was right, but also bravely confronted criminals. He exposed industry scandals, denounced corrupt officials, assisted the police in apprehending criminals and cracking down on drug trafficking, and even ventured onto the international stage, personally providing aid and reconstruction in impoverished areas ravaged by war.
He was so busy every day that he had no time to deal with the plot role, and the small world evolved smoothly and successfully.
9972 sighed quietly and comforted Zhuozhuo: "Baby, as long as you can complete all the tasks, you can return to the world you've been to for vacation and see Zhao Hongwei again."
Zhuozhuo, who was feeling a little down, was instantly revived by the carrot. He clenched his fists and said enthusiastically, "Okay, Zhuozhuo will definitely complete the task!"
The firm little baby voice confused 9972 Meng and quickly helped Zhuozhuo complete the process of entering the new world.

"Zhuozhuo, come here quickly."
Jones stood at the door, glanced at the children playing, and waved to a little girl sitting quietly in the corner.
Zhuozhuo glanced at Jones, then looked at the children scattered around the classroom, his eyes fixed above their heads, without moving.
Jones urged again, his tone somewhat harsh, "Zhuozhuo, do you hear me? Come here quickly."
"Go, baby, it's okay. These children's spirits haven't awakened yet, so they're no different from dead. They won't cause any harm, so don't be afraid." 9972 said softly.
This is an ABO world, where human genders are divided into six categories: male and female alpha, male and female beta, and male and female omega.
Alphas possess strong physical and mental abilities, high intelligence, and leadership skills, holding the highest social rank. Omegas are beautiful, sensitive, delicate, and independent-minded, possessing strong mental strength and fertility. They are rare, enjoy a high social status, and lack the ability to protect themselves. Betas are average in every way, are numerous, and carry the majority of social labor.
When they grow up, alpha and omega will emit pheromones to attract each other, and can comfort each other during their susceptible and estrus periods. They are a perfect match.
Regardless of gender, all individuals are born with psychic powers, but only a very few awaken their psychic bodies during adulthood. Psychic powers can, to a certain extent, facilitate people's lives and enhance their abilities. Once psychic powers reach level B, they can be trained to pilot mechas and fight Zerg in space.
As soon as Zhuozhuo entered this small world, he witnessed an omega's spiritual awakening and estrus period colliding, causing the inhibitor to fail and the pheromones to run wild. In an instant, all the alphas within a radius of one thousand meters lost their minds and attacked like wild beasts in order to get close to and compete for the omega.
The unprepared Zhuozhuo was horrified by the ugly appearance of the person losing his composure, the chaotic tearing of his mental energy, and the horrific sight of blood and flesh flying everywhere. She curled up in a corner, silently listening to the background introduction of 9972, and only asked in her mind, "What is Zhuozhuo?"
[Baby, you're a beta, so you don't have to worry about being controlled by pheromones when you grow up.]
Although according to experience, Zhuozhuo will not be able to grow up in this world.
After that, Zhuozhuo didn't say another word, either in his mind or in reality, which made 9972 very anxious.
Given the technological advancements of the interstellar era, 9972 didn't attempt to give Zhuo Zhuo a "biological daughter" identity to approach the target. Instead, they sent her to an orphanage on the planet Chunhe. In the plot, the target, Sun Sirui, was supposed to adopt a child from this orphanage. Unfortunately, the child was shot and killed by a drunken alpha just after leaving the orphanage.
The 9972 plan allows Zhuozhuo to be adopted by Sun Sirui instead of this child.
Zhuozhuo stood up slowly and walked among the children in a leisurely manner. When he was about to reach the door, Jones grabbed his shoulders and pulled him over.
"Hurry up and don't keep people waiting!"
Jones grabbed Zhuozhuo's hand and dragged her to another classroom. Zhuozhuo had to jog to keep up.
9972 was so angry that he wanted to bite off the hand that was holding Zhuozhuo. Orphaned children rarely receive love and care. Even though the staff of this orphanage were very responsible by comparison, they only saw caring for the children as a job.
"Xiaoxue, come here, teacher."
"Zhuangzhuang, come here."
Teacher Jones called two more children, both of whom were about three or four years old. They were very quiet and shy. Together with Zhuozhuo, they followed her obediently to the dean's office.
The three children were manipulated by the dean and Jones, and stood in a row in front of a handsome, gentle, but somewhat pale young man.
"Mr. Sun, these are Zhuozhuo, Zhuangzhuang, and Xiaoxue, all betas. They're the most well-behaved and quiet kids here. Which one do you think strikes a chord with?"
The young man's gaze swept over the three children. He smiled gently and said, "Hello, I'm Sun Sirui, a beta. Due to poor health, I can neither conceive nor conceive, so I'd like to adopt a child to live with. However, I'm a fragile person and can't stand noise. Financially, I'm a painter with a good income, which should provide my children with a comfortable life."
He asked democratically: "Who of you wants to be my child?"
Xiaoxue and Zhuangzhuang stood there, confused and reserved, without giving any reaction. It was so difficult to ask quiet and introverted children to actively respond!
9972 whispered, "Baby, raise your hand."
Zhuozhuo glanced at the top of Sun Sirui's head and then lowered his eyes to stare at his stomach. After hearing 9972's urging, he even took a step back, but was pushed back by Jones.
[……]
9972 rarely persuades Zhuozhuo to do things she doesn't want to do, but this time it really wants Zhuozhuo to go with Sun Sirui. This way, at least she can see fewer people and reduce Zhuozhuo's stress and resistance to the world.
The dean smoothed things over, "Mr. Sun, let the children introduce themselves first."
Xiaoxue and Zhuangzhuang became even more nervous. They wanted to turn around and run away but they had to stay where they were. They huddled together like little quails with their heads down, afraid of being called out.
"Zhuangzhuang, you go first."
Zhuangzhuang shivered and was about to cry, his lips trembling and making no sound. After the dean said "Don't cry", he really started crying.
Sun Sirui's gaze darkened. Just as he was about to speak, a child suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the edge of his shirt. He moved his fingers, suppressing the instinct to push the child away. He smiled and said, "Your name is Zhuozhuo, right? You want to come with me?"
Zhuozhuo didn't say anything. He looked up at Sun Sirui silently, then turned back to look at Zhuangzhuang.
She didn't say anything, but Sun Sirui felt as if he understood what she meant. "Dean, no need to introduce yourself. I choose to adopt Zhuozhuo."
Zhuozhuo let go of Sun Sirui's clothes, walked to Zhuangzhuang, grabbed his little hand and put it on his face, asking him to wipe away his tears. Jones praised him for being kind and sensible.
Zhuangzhuang wiped his face a few times and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."
Zhuozhuo didn't say anything, walked back to Sun Sirui, looked at the top of his head, hesitated for a while, and then stretched out his hands to him.
Sun Sirui: “?”
The dean smiled and said, "Zhuozhuo likes Mr. Sun very much and wants you to hold him."
Sun Sirui hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly hugged Zhuozhuo, slowly standing up. He never let go again. With the director's help, he completed the adoption procedures and walked towards the gate.
9972 instructed Zhuozhuo: [Baby, hold Sun Sirui tight, snuggle into his arms, and don't expose any extra parts of your body. Also, close your eyes and don't look at anything.]
In the plot, Xiaoxue is adopted by Sun Sirui. As they walk out of the orphanage gate one after the other, Sun Sirui has no time to save her when the drunken alpha indiscriminately shoots. But Zhuozhuo is in his arms, and his instinctive avoidance in the face of danger is enough to protect her as well.
Zhuozhuo didn't say anything, but leaned quietly in Sun Sirui's arms with his eyes closed.
As soon as they got outside, they saw an alpha firing a gun. People screamed and ran, blood trickling from the bodies of those lying on the ground. Sun Sirui, with a cold expression, held Zhuo Zhuo's head and back with both hands. He charged through the bullets and knocked the alpha to the ground with a single punch. Sun Sirui shook his hands off in disgust, told the stunned dean to call the police, and quickly got into a hovercar.
"Destination 3."
The hovercraft started up and took off, silently flying away from the chaotic scene.
Sun Sirui pulled out a medical kit from under the seat and raised his hand to lift his clothes... but nothing happened.
Zhuozhuo looked up at Sun Sirui innocently, and he put her on the seat next to him with one hand. She adjusted herself into a comfortable position and watched as Sun Sirui lifted his clothes, revealing the blood-soaked gauze wrapped around his waist and abdomen.
The glaring red and the smell of blood brought back memories of that day, and Zhuo's breathing became heavier.
