F1 as a mysterious past
The initial excitement of a predator waiting for its prey in the grass suddenly faded.
He realized that Lin Xue was not the prey, but another predator.
Chesia didn't call Lin Xue back, but watched him leave with even more interest.
——
Afterwards, Lin Xue looked at the attractions described in her notes and went to a "charming beach" that was said to be inhabited by mermaids who could save drowning people.
Unlike the mermaids in fairy tales, the mermaids here are ugly creatures with abstract appearances.
They rushed to rescue people, got them ashore, and immediately fled, unwilling to accept any gratitude from humans.
Because they know that once they reveal their true colors to humans, humans will no longer thank them, but will instead feel endless disgust towards them.
However, as he was leaving, he saw words carved with a sharp knife on a rock:
"S513 has come into this world and will receive love from humans here."
laboratory.
The red light kept flashing, and all the staff in the laboratory were in a panic.
[Red alert! Red alert!]
A dangerous laboratory organism has escaped! Please be extremely careful!
If you spot a transparent substance, please do not look directly into its eyes.
A transparent slime crawled around like a chased rat, bumping into a female researcher. Both of them were startled.
The female researcher was frozen in shock, her mind racing, when the slime righted the petri dish she had almost spilled, then slid away along the corner of the wall like water in a gutter, leaving only a black, viscous, oil-like residue.
More like a Ditto from Pokémon than a slime.
"Thank you?" The female researcher finally came to her senses, realizing that the bacteria she had painstakingly cultivated had almost fallen to the ground.
No, that monster escaped!
"Experimental subject S153 is in West F13 area, requesting support!"
With ears open and eyes scanning all directions, the slime continued crawling resentfully.
"Use this sword to sever its tentacles, temporarily rendering it unable to attack!" the operation's commander ordered his subordinates, and a group of people began hacking at the transparent tentacle monster.
The tentacles, which surged like Medusa's hair, were cut off one by one. The slime writhed in agony, enduring each stiffening as it crawled toward the sea cliff.
"Don't let him escape! Cut off all his tentacles, then put him back in the cage!" the commander-in-chief shouted shrilly.
However, the slime did not give the commander-in-chief and his subordinates a chance, and, unable to bear it any longer, jumped into the sea.
After swimming in a dog paddle for a while, it saw a small dog fall off the boat. The dog had very cute white curly fur, so it possessed the dog and continued to paddle on the waves in the dog's body.
When he arrived at the beach near the reef, he saw a happy family.
The parents doted on their son, helping him build a sandcastle.
Envious, it imitated the son's appearance, looking exactly like him, and wanted to take his place while the son ran away.
When it stood in front of the couple, trying to deceive them and gain their love, it saw that the couple, who had been so affectionate towards the little boy, immediately changed their attitude upon seeing it.
"Monster! Get away! Stay away from my son!"
The woman picked up the bucket, seemingly trying to cover herself with it.
The man then pulled out a shovel, ready to shovel himself at any moment.
Seeing the resentment in their eyes, the slime sadly abandoned the human child body it had conjured, and with a "poof," it transformed back into its original transparent form, scurrying away like an unnoticed mouse.
Seeing the terrifying monster finally leave, the couple breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put their arms around the child: "Martin, are you alright?"
The white foreign child looked dazed, clearly terrified by the monster; his eyes were crossed, and he was muttering strange, incoherent words.
It seems that everyone who gets close to it becomes afraid and unhappy.
The slime quickly burrowed into the sewers, emerging from a garden ditch as it followed the city's crisscrossing network of drains.
Above it was a half-open window, and an unconscious boy was sleeping on the large bed.
The slime used its tentacles to check the other's breath and copied its image:
This is the son of a prominent family.
He appears aloof and unwilling to speak to anyone.
Even when he speaks, it's only a few words, as if he's already tired of the stupidity of ordinary people.
In fact, he was a child with mild intellectual disability.
However, his parents were unwilling to accept the cruel fact that their outstanding son was mentally challenged.
Therefore, they fabricated many "excellent grades" to embellish their son's resume.
Student council president, various scientific research achievements, robotics competitions...
When he was in elementary school, he created a robot that could be put on the market on his own.
During the exam, I could leave the exam room in just half an hour, and I still got the highest score.
The incompetent Liu Shan was given all sorts of wonderful backgrounds, and everyone who knew his intelligence was eliminated—dismissed, sent to remote foreign countries, and never allowed to return to Shilan.
Although on the surface, this "genius" appeared exceptionally noble because he didn't like to talk or answer others, he fooled many people.
However, his parents were still very disappointed in him.
As scientists, they were unwilling to accept that the Sher family, so devoted to scientific research, had produced a mentally challenged child.
How ridiculous, how ironic.
So they prayed day and night to the evil god, hoping that he would grant them a perfect son.
Send away this mediocre son.
Their ideal son must be exceptionally intelligent, have outstanding academic performance, and possess strong research capabilities.
Not only are they highly capable, but they also obey their family's arrangements and obediently inherit the family fortune.
The evil god granted their wish and told them that their perfect son would be delivered to their door soon.
Their failed experiment son would be taken along along the way.
The slime discovers that this is also a boy who has been abandoned by everyone.
The boy had no will to live; he only hoped that someone who could satisfy everyone would replace him.
"I will only disappoint everyone, including my parents."
“I am utterly worthless, a complete failure, just a manure-producing machine, and living is a waste of oxygen.”
"I don't deserve to be born into such a good family."
A mildly intellectually disabled teenager with the mental capacity of a young child cannot understand this.
Why do the people closest to him in this world, his parents, want to abandon him?
From the very beginning, his birth was everyone's expectation.
He was born after the Sher family spent all their resources and underwent numerous in-vitro fertilizations.
But now, he has become a burden and a disgrace to everyone.
Am I not the child you were hoping for?
Am I a useless child?
Then I'll leave.
The slime and the boy met eyes, the boy's face reflected in the slime's pupils, and in the next moment, their souls switched places.
The shadow trapped in the mirror swaps with the original body outside the mirror.
The boy's soul, which had already separated from his body, appeared before the slime:
"Are you here to take away my weirdness?"
“Yes.” The slime nodded.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed: "Thank you for taking over for me. I'll leave my parents in your care from now on."
"They are greedy, immature, and emotional; even the smallest thing can make them fly into a rage."
"Although they look to be in their thirties and are highly respected scientists at work, they are mentally like three-year-olds."
“They will yell and scream if anything doesn’t meet their expectations, until others do things the way they expect.”
"When they insult you, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"You'll be free when you fully inherit the family business."
“I can’t inherit the family business. I’m too stupid. I can’t change anything. I’ll never escape.”
"You've helped me so much, and I have nothing to give you in return."
“You can inherit my game account that I’ve played for twelve years. Actually, I had an even earlier account, but my parents deleted it. Now, many of the rare items on that account are gone.”
"You still have over 30,000 lottery tickets in your account, which will expire at the end of the year. You should use them as soon as possible. If you can't use them all yourself, you can give them away."
The slime promised, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your game account."
The boy hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"There's one more thing."
"I've always wanted to get married in the game, but no one wants to marry me. Can you help me make this wish come true?"
"The ring and fireworks I prepared are the best, one-of-a-kind props. I want to hold the grandest wedding ever."
"I want my loved one to be the happiest person in the world."
The boy was surprised when the slime refused outright:
"No, I won't use the ring and fireworks you prepared."
"I don't want the person I love to use things prepared by other people."
“I can do everything else for you. But not this one.”
You should find your love.
"I'm sorry, it was my presumption." The young man apologized politely.
The slime high-fived the boy goodbye and took over the baton:
"I will live well for you."
"Thank you, brother." The boy's soul soared into the sky.
Finally, someone came to take his place and satisfy his parents, and he could finally leave with peace of mind.
There was no place for him on earth; he wanted to fly to heaven.
He wanted to go to a place that would accept him completely.
After the original owner of the body completely left, the slime opened its eyes, touched its hands, looked at its feet, and then went to the mirror, pinching its own face.
His face snapped back.
He is no longer a transparent slime, but a person with a human identity.
He saw the clean and handsome face in the mirror, a face that would be considered good-looking among humans, and tried to smile for the first time.
But he quickly realized he was out of character and put on a stern face.
