Fengzi stood in front of the door, her shadow blocking the light and stretched out very long in the small room.
The girl hid her face deeply in her knees, curled up into a small ball, and fled in fear. Apart from crying, she did not make any other resistance or evasive movements.
There was a bright light behind her, but in front of her was Feng Zi, who was shrouded in darkness. She stood at the door. She moved her pale lips, as if she wanted to shout something, but in the end no sound came out.
Finally, she took a step forward and slowly walked into the room.
As if because she heard the subtle footsteps, the curled up girl hugged her body with her arms even tighter. She didn't dare to look up until Fengzi walked to her side, squatted down, and hugged the girl's upper body with extremely gentle movements, as if touching a precious piece of porcelain, afraid that she would be irritated or hurt in the slightest.
The physical contact made the girl's body tremble violently subconsciously, and when the strange yet familiar breath enveloped her, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her head and opened her frightened eyes.
After looking into those eyes that existed only in her most beautiful memories of the past and were as blue as the legendary sky, the girl was completely stunned.
"I'm sorry Qingxiu"
Warm tears fell on the girl's face. Fengzi tried hard to suppress the sadness and anger in her heart that was about to burst the dam, and apologized with a guilty, sad and ashamed voice.
"elder sister."
The girl finally realized at this moment who the girl who was hugging her was. Her pupils dilated, and her little face, which was originally covered with tears and snot because of fear, now blossomed into the most surprised smile.
"It's true, sister! I thought I might never see you again! Am I dreaming? Was this the dream after the building collapsed and I was knocked unconscious?"
She muttered the last two sentences to herself in doubt, but when she saw the tears streaming down Fengzi's face, she suddenly panicked.
"Don't cry, sister! Don't cry!"
Fengzi had already hugged her tightly in his arms. She knelt on the ground with her back to the door, tears streaming down her fair and transparent cheeks, revealing all her fragility and sadness without reservation.
"Really. I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of you! It's because of me that they took you all away and I have never been able to find you!"
The girl couldn't help but shed tears again at this time, but she still had a comforting smile on her face. She stretched out her dirty little hands and kept wiping the tears from Fengzi's face.
"It's okay! It's okay! Sister! We don't blame you. We all believe that you will come to find us. We don't blame you! We just miss you very much!"
Fengzi did not let her emotions continue to vent. She wiped the tears from her face, stood up again, held the girl's hand tightly with one hand, and spoke seriously while looking into the girl's eyes.
"No one can take you away from here again! I will take you away from here, and take everyone away with me!"
The girl hugged her arms, as if she was really afraid that this was a dream, and she nodded firmly.
"I believe in my sister!"
Levi did not look at the scene in the room. After hearing Fengzi's tearful apology, he took the key from the supervisor, and then started from this door, opening those "cell doors" one by one.
Each of the 12 children imprisoned here has frighteningly pale skin, as if they have not seen the light of day for several years. Although they are thin and look somewhat malnourished, Levi can confirm through his biological perception that these children do not have any major problems.
Of course, these released children felt strange and distrustful of Levi, but after seeing Fengzi, they all changed from fear and confusion to surprise and joy! These children seemed to be unusually close to and trusting of Fengzi. Three years had passed since they were brought here. During this time, they had no doubt that Fengzi would definitely come to find them and would definitely find them! After a brief recognition, the abnormal shaking of the building also attracted the attention of some people nearby. Levi dealt with the follow-up, and then he and Fengzi took these children out together.
Fengzi seemed to have made plans for how to deal with these 12 children. She asked Qiao Nan for help and rented a small yard away from the central city area, where she placed all the rescued children.
By the time all matters were settled, it was already dark. After a busy day, Levi, who had not eaten anything except a full plate of hand-pulled pancake and soy milk in the morning, finally got the chance to have a big meal from Fengzi.
In fact, it was not a big meal at all. These children had just been rescued and they had not eaten yet. It was obviously impossible for Fengzi to take so many of them out to eat something delicious. That would undoubtedly be too eye-catching.
As for letting these kids just get something to eat here, it was even more impossible for her to treat Levi to a good meal.
So, in the end, Levi had no choice but to stay here and eat boxed lunch with everyone else.
Because this yard was temporarily found by Fengzi with the help of Qiao Nan, the furniture inside was not complete and there were not enough tables and chairs. In the end, everyone had to sit together on the steps outside the house, holding their lunch boxes and eating in the night breeze.
But those children have been locked up all the time, and they seemed to prefer the current environment. They were outside the house, sitting on both sides of Fengzi and Li Wei, holding their lunch boxes with bright smiles on their faces.
From them, Fengzi learned that after the pharmaceutical company took them away, although they let them test drugs and exploit the value of their existence, they did not use some high-risk drug experiments on them. As for the three children who died, they were nominally killed in drug testing, but in fact they tried to run away from the pharmaceutical factory together and were accidentally shot to death by the factory guards.
After hearing this, Fengzi's originally smiling face turned a little gloomy.
Levi took two bites of the shredded pork with green pepper in the lunch box, and seeing Fengzi's expression change, he couldn't help but ask.
"If you really want to avenge them, you could have killed those people who beat the child to death in the factory today. Why did you not move a single person from beginning to end, and just brought the people out?"
Feng Zi was silent for a few seconds, then she spoke softly.
"It's not because I want to let them go, but they are useful if they are alive."
"Is it useful to be alive? You still..." Halfway through his words, Li Wei suddenly shook his head, "Forget it, this is your family matter, I won't ask any more questions."
He is free from all worries in this world, immortal and free to do whatever he wants, but Fengzi is different from him, or rather, no one else is like him.
Therefore, Levi never thought of imposing his attitude towards life on others. Everyone has his own ties, and everyone should make different decisions.
But Fengzi, who was originally eating rice in small bites, put down her chopsticks at this moment. She turned her head and looked at Li Wei with a serious look.
"Thank you so much today, thank you so much."
Levi waved his hand dismissively.
“Help and help, matter and matter, have different weights.”
After saying thank you, Fengzi lowered her head again to eat the food in the rice box and said calmly.
"I should treat you to a big meal today as a thank you, but this is all I can eat now. However, you can come and book a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow, and the dishes should be good then."
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You probably heard on the news that I was the one who instigated the Pope to transform people into beasts. Although there is no truth in this, I am sure that the reason why people transform into beasts is because they are considered unforgivable by Twilight. Are you really going to get engaged to that rat man?"
Fengzi chewed the rice in her mouth carefully. She put her legs together, placed the lunch box on her knees, looked up at the dim dome of clouds, and after being stunned for a moment, she spoke softly.
"This world is a cage, and my family is also a cage. They want to gain benefits, so they force their own goodness on me and don't allow me any room to refuse, just because my last name is Feng."
The night wind was a little chilly tonight. In the yard, the children's laughter and joyful chatter, along with a slight breeze, blew across Fengzi's hair. She blinked her bright and clear eyes, stretched out a hand, and slightly parted her slender white fingers, as if she wanted to catch the flowing air in her hands.
"But a cage cannot trap the wind."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
She murmured, and suddenly turned to look at Levi again.
"Wait a minute, I may need you to do me one last favor."
"Fighting or killing? If it's killing your rat-man fiancé, that doesn't count as helping," Levi said as he ate.
Fengzi smiled.
"It's not about fighting or killing people, it's about controlling an ordinary person."
Levi shrugged and finished the last grain of rice in his lunch box. He stood up and then helped a boy next to him wipe the soup stains off his face.
"This is even less of a help. Let's go. After I help you with your work today, I will also start preparing for the people I will kill later. The sooner you go, the sooner you can rest."
After Fengzi gave the children some instructions and settled them down here completely, she took Levi out again.
They drove to a residential area in Chongmin District and then stopped in front of an apartment with a good location and a price that was not too expensive but not cheap either.
The people living in this apartment are indeed an ordinary family, but the male owner of this family has a duck head, and it is him that Fengzi asked Levi to help control.
After Levi easily completed the mind control, Fengzi did not let the man do anything, but asked Levi to help leave a hypnotic code in his mind. As long as he said this code, he would obey that man.
After doing this little thing, Fengzi had nothing else to ask for. She drove her car to help take Li Wei to the downstairs of his current residence.
"It's nice to meet you, Sun Wei. You will successfully practice Twilight's teachings, and I will find what I want to find! Come on!"
Watching the girl finish these words with an encouraging look on her face and then drive away, Levi touched his chin, looked at the taillights of the car going away, and asked into the air.
"627, have you found the information of that man just now?"
"Zhang Junhui, head of the Central West Station Office of the Transportation Department, third-level consul. Do you need to know more about the following information, sir?"
Obviously, 627 felt that after hearing this, he should be able to guess what Fengzi was trying to do.
Levi showed a helpless smile on his face. He shook his head, turned and walked into the hotel.
"No need to say, she will make the decision for herself. Go check if there are any overlaps between the people who will be attending the engagement party the day after tomorrow and the list that Lin Xianjue sent me. Take a day off tomorrow and work together the day after tomorrow."
"You are lazy, sir."
"That's not something you should say."
"I took on the personality of Le Yue and gave you a spur."
"You, a man with artificial retardation, want to be my mother? Bah! Dream on!"
The news that Mingzhu, the genius girl of the Feng family, the future head of the science department of Tianen Company and a physics professor who grew up in the Institute of Physics, was going to get engaged did cause quite a stir in the central government.
Especially the man she was engaged to, the young man named Liu Shenghua, whose family background was not simple. His father was a rising star in the cabinet political arena in recent years, and a star politician who was very likely to succeed the prime minister in the future. Liu Shenghua himself was not bad either.
He was only five years older than Fengzi, but he had already reached the third tier at the age of twenty-something, and he had always been a chosen candidate for the Institute of Physics, which was enough to show that he was extremely talented.
And now the marriage between the two families, in terms of political trends, represents a force that originally belonged to the centrist faction of the cabinet, but now has clearly leaned towards the republican faction of the Tian'en faction.
At the same time, Liu Shenghua's father will definitely receive Tianen's strong support, and from then on he will no longer have any worries about funds. This is something that can attract great attention for many people.
It is precisely because of the political significance of this incident that many political figures have received invitations to the engagement banquet that will begin this Wednesday. These people not only advocate the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a republic, but as the two engaged parties are both top figures in the central government, even if they have different political views, they will do what they should do to save face.
Among them, there are quite a few people whose names overlap with those on the list Levi is holding.
I am still considering the new book title. The contract for changing the title has been sent to me, but after reading everyone's comments, I haven't signed it yet.
Oh, I'll talk to the editor tomorrow. Everything was fine, but I've been troubled by this matter for the past two days. (End of this chapter)
