Chapter 155 The Baby Disappeared
Ah Chen finally spotted the man standing by his bed. Newborns usually don't remember strangers they've only met once, but this man did.
In the baby's perception of danger, this person ranks first in terms of danger level, and he almost killed his mother during their first encounter.
Although his aura has a friendly feel to it, the baby won't fall for it. Every time the baby senses his aura, the baby will hide.
The only time I saw him, the baby didn't hide, because he was too weak to hide.
Seeing him again now, Bao Bao felt something was strange. Why couldn't she sense his presence? Could it be that he, like her, had hidden his presence?
The enemy is too terrifying. Baby feels that simply hiding his presence is no longer safe. Baby wants to hide his body so that the enemy can't see him.
Perhaps the thought was too strong, because the baby was suddenly enveloped in a transparent halo. When the halo dissipated, the baby was no longer in the crib.
Xiaobai rubbed her eyes hard and stared intently at the crib, only to find it empty. The baby had truly vanished!
"Matt! Quickly use the mental net to search me!" Mortilan Shield panicked and hurriedly called to his assistant.
Matt rushed over from the villa's courtyard, and after learning what had happened, he couldn't help but chuckle. It was true that concern made him lose his composure!
Looking at the familiar crib in the video, he swallowed the word "adult" that was about to slip out.
“Young Master Bai, my ability can only detect things within a radius of one hundred kilometers. Young Master Chen is thousands of miles away. How can I possibly detect him?” Matt said objectively.
"Oh, I forgot this is a video. Then analyze why he suddenly disappeared?" Xiaobai instantly regained her composure and asked.
“Didn’t I mention before that Young Master Chen’s special ability is concealment? The highest level of concealment is invisibility, right? But he’s still young, so this invisibility probably won’t last long. I believe he’ll be visible soon,” Matt analyzed.
"Hmm, you're right. Also, watch your wording!" Xiaobai glared at Matt.
Just then, the baby finally lost his invisibility and reappeared in the crib covered in sweat. The little one who had been anxiously squeaking and crying was finally relieved.
Baby Chen suddenly disappeared! It scared Xiao Bao to death! But Xiao Bao can't talk, so he could only anxiously circle around the crib.
Zuo Shan and Mao Li were busy rinsing the changing pads and diapers and didn't pay any attention to this side. When they heard Xiao Bao making noises, they thought he was just playing with A Chen baby.
Therefore, adults often fail to notice when babies have accidents or understand the feelings of their young.
Having exhausted his superpowers, the baby helplessly discovered that the number one dangerous element was still watching him with concern. The baby finally couldn't help but open his mouth and start crying.
Mothers are always very sensitive to their babies' cries. When Zuo Shan heard the crying, she immediately turned her head and saw that Xiao Bai's holographic projection was still staring at the baby without blinking.
It seems he really likes children, but does he even know that this holographic projection video costs one dollar per minute?
A tiny baby, who doesn't smile at strangers or talk, where does he get the patience to stare at the baby so intently, without blinking for a moment?
Sigh! What a spoiled brat from a wealthy family, so bored he's practically begging for trouble! Look, he's scared the baby to tears!
Mothers are bound to be unhappy with anyone who scares their babies, but when Zuo Shan thinks about the reindeer and crocodile eggs Xiao Bai gave her, she just can't bring herself to do something like kicking the person away after taking advantage of them.
Oh well, let him watch if he wants to.
She walked over, picked up the baby from the crib, and felt the familiar warmth and scent of her mother. The baby's pent-up emotions instantly overflowed, and she cried even harder.
"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore. Is Achen hungry? Shall we have some milk? It's freshly boiled reindeer milk, it smells so good!" Zuo Shan rocked the baby while touching his little face.
In the end, it was the fragrant reindeer milk that worked, and the weakened Ah Chen, who had exhausted his superpowers, began to suckle it in large gulps.
The baby needs to replenish his energy so that he can hide for a long time next time he encounters a big bad guy and won't be able to find him!
Xiaobai reluctantly hung up the video call and sat alone in the room, carefully recalling every expression of the baby. He finally came to a conclusion: the baby was afraid of him, otherwise he would not have hidden when he saw him!
This conclusion really upset him. He looked in the mirror again and again. Xiao Bai's face clearly looked sunny and energetic, with a bit of naivety. It didn't look like the kind of face that would scare a child.
However, sometimes it's all about first impressions. Take Zuo Shan, for example. Although she wasn't particularly good-looking, the moment he opened his eyes and saw her after she pulled him out of the river, he found her quite pleasing to the eye.
Lord Mortilan had long forgotten his first encounter with Zuo Shan in the bamboo forest. At that time, she was wearing old linen clothes and was fleeing for her life in a panic. He mistook her for a passerby, grabbed her by the collar and asked her what was going on, and almost strangled her.
His first memory of her was frozen in the moment they gazed at each other after he was rescued and woke up.
But Ah Chen has only met him twice, so why is he afraid of him?
Unable to understand, he grabbed Matt and asked, "Tell me, why is baby Chen afraid of me?"
Excited yet conflicted Matt: Oh my god! This isn't the point at all! The point is that young master Chen is only a few days old and he can already use invisibility!
However, since the master's thought process has been consistently peculiar lately, Matt could only give a perfunctory reply: "My lord, I guess young master Chen has just learned a new skill of invisibility, so he wanted to try it out when he saw outsiders."
“Outsider? I am clearly his godfather!” Mortilan Dun’s face darkened.
"Ahem! My lord, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that, apart from the few people he sees all the time in the house, no one else is really a familiar face to him," Matt hurriedly explained.
“Hmm, what you said seems to make sense. It looks like I should project videos to him every day from now on, so he'll treat me like an acquaintance and won't hide when he sees me anymore.” Mortilan nodded.
"My lord, I think that with such extraordinary skills as Young Master Chen, are you really not considering bringing him back to the family to train him?"
In a place like District 48, the food is moderately radioactive, which is really not suitable for children's growth. "Mat looked like he appreciated talent.
"You don't understand! The latest research shows that people who live in the central area have extremely low resistance to radiation."
In other words, people who have never left the central area, once exposed to the unprotected sun, will quickly develop severe radiation sickness and die within a short period of time, just like people before the cataclysm.
I have to thank my grandfather for sending me out to gain experience when I was very young. Otherwise, even if I am a high-level superhuman, my radiation resistance might not be as good as that of the scavengers in District 48.
And most importantly, do you think Ms. Zuo would be respected in the city center? Or are you trying to forcibly take her child, separating her from her child?
Matt felt increasingly ashamed as he listened, and by the end he was sweating profusely. He had been so overwhelmed by the excitement of discovering a genius that he hadn't considered the subsequent chain of events.
Miss Zuo's only strength is her cooking skills. If the adults take her back to the family, she can at most become a cook.
In the central district, no one respects a cook, even if she didn't sell herself into slavery and enter the family as a maid; in everyone's eyes, she's just a servant.
The family would not allow Ah Chen to have a mother who is a servant, so the patriarch would definitely have a childless family member adopt him, thus establishing his status as a descendant of the Lan Dun family.
So Zuo Shan, the biological mother, could only sneak peeks at her child occasionally, and couldn't even hear her child call her "Mom."
"I'm sorry, sir. It was all my oversight. I will never bring this up again. Let young master Chen and Miss Zuo live happily and carefree in District 48."
"If they encounter difficulties, even if the adults are unable to take care of them personally, your subordinates and Mina will rush over to help," Matt said guiltily.
