Chapter 327: Is this within your expectations?
"Watch."
The man ordered calmly.
Xiao Linxi pursed her lips and raised her head again.
She watched the man's hands tighten. The kitten's struggles were useless in the face of absolute strength, and only made the abuser more excited.
However, the man's abuse wasn't directed at the kitten. It was directed at Lin Xi. This was punishment for her forming a bond with something without his permission.
This was a deliberate act, and Lin Xi needed to bear the consequences. The boss wouldn't physically punish Lin Xi, and he wouldn't leave any scars on this body, but he knew how to break Lin Xi's heart.
Miyano Shiho couldn't help but curse out loud.
"What a fucking bastard!" This is the slang she learned in America.
She raised her leg and kicked the boss hard in the face.
Of course, it didn't work—her foot went right through the boss's face. Unable to directly interfere with reality, Miyano Shiho could only watch as the kitten died at the boss's hands.
She turned around angrily and looked at Lin Xi worriedly.
Xiao Linxi showed no expression until the kitten's breath disappeared.
The white corpse lay quietly on the golden tray, but just a minute ago, it was still alive, looking up at humans and acting coquettishly.
The man slowly took off his black gloves.
"You know I don't like living things, so don't touch stray cats," he said gently. "They're dirty."
"Since you haven't behaved well, this poor cat will have to pay the price for you."
He waved his hand, signaling the servants to dispose of the cat's body.
Lin Xi spoke at this moment.
"Sir." She showed the first smile that Miyano Shiho had given her since seeing her.
"Can you let me handle it?"
The boss paused, then looked at her with interest. "Why, are you going to hold a funeral for it?"
He would not agree to such an impolite request.
To the boss's surprise, Lin Xi said calmly, "No, I want to make it into a specimen."
"Let it forever remind me of the mistake I made today."
The boss narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Xi for a long while: "It's up to you."
It really is like him. After giving it a name, he treated it as his own, not even wanting to hand over the body to anyone else.
He admired Lin Xi's possessiveness, but despised her occasional naivety and weakness.
"Get it done quickly. Go to Room 2 after taking the medicine at noon."
"Yes, sir."
Lin Xi agreed.
Seeing that the gentleman agreed, the servant presented the tray to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked at the servant coldly and said, "Take it to my laboratory."
After the servant left, Xiao Linxi gently took out her hands from her sleeves and spread them out.
All I could see were dark red marks left by fingernails on the palm of my hand.
She didn't even dare to use too much force when she was abusing herself, for fear of actually breaking her palms and leaving scars.
Miyano Shiho was heartbroken.
However, Lin Xi couldn't see her, so she could only gently cover the hand with both of her hands.
Is this Sister Lin's past? If the organization had treated her like this back then, she would have gone crazy long ago.
No, she had an older sister at that time.
But Lin Xi has nothing now.
Miyano Shiho pursed her lips, and tears couldn't help but fall, passing through Lin Xi's palm and dripping onto the ground.
No trace was left.
Lin Xi withdrew his hand, turned and walked towards the laboratory.
Miyano Shiho wiped her tears and followed her.
In the villa, she has a smaller laboratory.
The small laboratory is used for her research, and the large laboratory is used to study her.
The larger one was called Room 2, and that was where she woke up.
Her first impression of the world was the outlines of light refracted by the transparent nutrient solution. When she opened her eyes, it looked like an underwater world. Acting on a primal instinct, driven by a need for oxygen, her hand reached out and touched the clear glass.
The man was outside the glass, his face distorted into a strange shape by the curved glass. He looked at her intently with a smile on his face.
Later, Lin Xi realized that the smile meant satisfaction. When Lin Xi was obedient, such a smile would appear on his face.
Lin Xi went to his laboratory and carefully gutted the kitten, removed its internal organs, boiled it in water, removed the bones and flesh, injected preservatives, and stuffed it with fillers.
The lifeless blue eyes were also picked out and thrown into the trash can.
The eye could only be preserved by immersion, and Lin Xi didn't want it floating in formalin.
She wants to use blue glass beads instead of eyeballs.
She performed the operation in an orderly manner, with no expression on her face, but Miyano Shiho behind her could smell the damp smell of rain on her.
The emotions that cannot be expressed in words, the sadness that cannot bring tears to the eyes, the dull pain in the heart, the calm madness in the bones... all are blocked by the mask welded to the face, without revealing a single detail.
Only Miyano Shiho saw it and couldn't help crying.
At the same time, she felt a little embarrassed about prying into other people's privacy. She was even grateful that Lin Xi couldn't see her, because she knew that people like Lin Xi would not be willing to expose their vulnerability.
She wiped her tears and floated to the next laboratory.
She wanted to find out what that bastard had done to Sister Lin!
She didn't see that after she passed through the wall, Xiao Linxi paused and turned to look at the place where she disappeared, as if measuring what she was with her eyes.
…
Inside the ring.
"You mean, you woke up on a park bench and had no idea who you were or where you were?"
The round-faced male policeman looked at Lin Xi suspiciously.
Lin Xi nodded.
The girl's face was calm. Faced with this sudden change, she neither cried nor made a fuss, but simply accepted her fate calmly.
"Can you lend me some money, uncle? I should be over fifteen now, and I can work and earn money to pay you back." She said seriously, "I also want to sit here for a while, it's warmer here. It's too cold outside."
The male police officer looked at her thin body and thin clothes and couldn't help asking: "Now that you have borrowed the money, where are you going?"
"I'm going to buy a thick suit of clothes and a pair of long gloves."
Several police officers saw the hideous mark that spread from her arm to her wrist. One policewoman couldn't help but tear up, thinking that she wasn't lost at all, but was driven out by her family because of the terrible birthmark.
Long gloves are used to cover birthmarks.
Maybe this child had been to many places before, and finally had no other choice but to come to the police for help...
Under her pitying gaze, Lin Xi couldn't help but sneeze.
Her face was already pale, and even after she put on the coat the police gave her, her lips still had little color.
The policewoman poured her a glass of warm water and she politely said thank you.
What a sensible child!
The policewoman covered her heart.
The most common minors in their police station are bad boys who engage in gang fights, gambling, and drinking. How could there be such a cute and sympathetic little girl?
The round-faced male policeman looked at his colleague, pulled Lin Xi aside and sat down to discuss what to do.
"Anyway, we need to find this child's parents first," said the round-faced male police officer. "At this age, he should be in school. We can start by looking at the school to see if there are any missing students."
"I've always said this procedure isn't perfect. They insist on finding a guardian before notifying the Minor Protection Association to intervene," another officer complained. "This kid looks like..."
He didn't say the word "abandoned", but everyone else understood what he meant.
"Oh." The policewoman sighed repeatedly, "This child seems so well-behaved and polite. And she said she has amnesia. I think we should take her to the hospital for a checkup to make sure there's nothing wrong."
"Alright, let me handle it." After chatting for a while, the round-faced male police officer decided, "Let her stay at my house until a guardian is found."
"I have a spare room at home that I can move into after cleaning it up. Besides, there are people of the same age at home who can take care of me."
Several people nodded.
So Lin Xi's fate was decided.
She watched the kind male policeman walk towards her, put down her water cup obediently, and looked at him: "Uncle?"
"Hey." The round-faced male police officer's heart melted. "We've already sent out a notice. We'll notify you once someone recognizes you. Now, are you willing to come home with me?"
Lin Xi looked up in surprise.
Are all Japanese police officers like this? Will they take strangers home if they meet them?
"Go home?" She looked at the policeman, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why would I be afraid of you?" The round-faced male police officer shook his head. "If you haven't done anything to hurt others, no one should be afraid of you."
He knew that Lin Xi was talking about the birthmark, and he felt even more pity for Lin Xi.
"Okay." Lin Xi nodded, "I'll go home with you."
She doesn't care whether the man is good or bad.
If he's a good guy, that's great; if he's a bad guy... that's even better.
His property will become Linxi's start-up capital.
The round-faced policeman was very happy.
He had discussed it with his wife, who supported his decision and told him not to scare the little girl.
"That's settled then," he said cheerfully. "You sit in the lounge and wait for me to get off work... By the way, are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat."
Lin Xi touched his shriveled belly.
He nodded without hesitation.
As he was about to leave, she grabbed his clothes and asked, "What's your name?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." The round-faced police officer touched his head and said, "My name is Kuto Dahai."
"My name is Li," she said calmly, "Please call me Ali."
"...Ah?" Kudo Kaimei was surprised. "Did you remember your name?"
"No, I made it up on the spot."
Kudo Haiyang: "...Haha, that's good."
No wonder it had a hint of a fake name. Who would name their child Tanuki? It's a legendary, cunning trickster, a shapeshifting monster... As expected of a middle school student, there's a hint of chuunibyou.
He quickly went to the convenience store across the street and bought a loaf of bread.
Lin Xi was not picky, she was indeed hungry.
After work, Kudo Haiyang let her sit in the back seat of the car while rambling on and on, "I have another child at home. He's my wife's sister's child. His parents died in an accident, so he's been raised in our house. He's an excellent student, isn't he? If you have any academic questions in the future, you can ask him."
As Lin Xi responded, she heard Noah reporting his physical condition.
...37.8 degrees.
I have a low fever.
Alas, her body is so weak now that she can't take care of herself.
Too weak.
If Lin Xi could dent the wall with one punch before, now she can only break her own hand with one punch.
Just as I was daydreaming, they arrived.
Unexpectedly, the round-faced policeman's house was a single-family building, much larger than Lin Xi had imagined.
At the door stood a young boy, who seemed to have just returned from school, still wearing a clean white school uniform, and looked at them quietly.
She has almond-shaped eyes, raised eyebrows, a pretty face and a calm temperament.
Seeing Lin Xi looking at her, he nodded at her, completely ignoring the ink-black birthmark on her arm.
"Look, this is your brother, his name is Morobushi Takaaki." Kudo Kaikai said with a smile.
Lin Xi: “…”
Noah exclaimed, "Was this also what you expected? You are indeed Miss Lin!"
No, she didn't.
Lin Xi looks at the sky.
As expected of you, author.
You can create such outrageous coincidences.
