Chapter 30 Wandering Along the Way

The transfer files on the computer were sent one by one. The names they chose were simple and all related to Ling Shu.

Pei Du received the document, which was filled with dense content, recording all of Ling Shu's experiences from birth to the present.

Pei Du wanted to find two photos of Ling Shu, but after flipping through more than ten pages, he only saw one photo of Ling Shu when he was a child.

I picked it out from my school graduation photo.

Ling Shu was wearing the school uniform, a blue collar and white shirt, with a thin face. His eyes were quite large, with amber pupils, and he looked expressionless when he looked at the camera, with light red lips, forming a relaxed straight line.

Judging from his appearance, he wasn't as scary as Anjia described.

Pei Du looked down at Ling Shu's specific information. As An Jia said, Ling Shu was born in a small mountain village in City A, which was remote and had a lot of sex trade.

Ling Shu's biological father is unknown, and his mother died of a virus when he was young. After that, Ling Shu lived alone.

Pei Du compared information from several sources before he determined the name of the village where Ling Shu lived.

Xianghe Village. Because almost all the people living there have the surname "Ling", it is also called "Lingjia Village".

Not surprisingly, Ling Yu was also born and raised there.

Pei Du had read Ling Shu's information in the documents. Although Ling Shu's growing environment was not very good, his academic performance was quite good. He even won several provincial awards.

"After graduating from junior high school, Ling Shu was admitted to a famous high school in City A with the top three grades in the city. On the day of enrollment, the chairman of Shengshi Group encountered a car accident on the road. Ling Shu passed by and sent him to the hospital for treatment. Later, he coincidentally discovered that Ling Shu was the chairman's illegitimate son who was living outside..."

Pei Du’s gaze froze.

"…The chairman was very happy to see Ling Shu and took him back to the family to raise him. That year, Ling Shu was fifteen years old. After returning to the family, he changed his surname back to Sheng, and his full name was Sheng Shixian."

Pei Du: “…”

He asked why Sheng Shixian's name was never mentioned in An Jia's book. An Jia would even mention Pei Du occasionally, but the male protagonist Sheng Shixian seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and there was no content related to him at all.

It turns out that Ling Shu was Sheng Shixian, and he changed his name once.

Pei Du recalled the time when Sheng Shixian and An Jia were together and was even more speechless. He originally thought that Sheng Shixian was pursuing An Jia, but he didn't expect that Sheng Shixian was threatening An Jia in disguise.

Anjia said in the book that she accidentally saw Sheng Shixian's tail, and Sheng Shixian's identity as a mutant was exposed, so he wanted to kill Anjia.

But Sheng Shixian didn't just grow ears. He still has a tail to hide.

Pei Du checked the surveillance camera downstairs, and found that Sheng Shixian had returned to the sofa and was lying down. He was still covered in the same blanket as before, and Sheng Shixian curled up inside it, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Pei Du enlarged Sheng Shixian's face. The beast ears on Sheng Shixian's head seemed to have just grown out. No matter the size, shape or color, they were very immature and there was nothing strange about them.

Pei Du was somewhat suspicious. Sheng Shixian had grown a tail after being infected with a virus when he was young, and after growing up, he learned to control his shape and hid his tail.

Later, he was injected with blood containing virus No. 89 and was infected for the second time, causing Sheng Shixian to mutate further and grow beast ears.

Pei Du's expression was subtle. He stared at Sheng Shi's envious face in the surveillance video for a few seconds, then shifted his gaze back to the black book.

【Ling Shu has no compassion, he doesn’t love anyone.】

【He only loves the dog he has.】

"The city center of City A is different from the mountain village. The surveillance here is very strict. I heard that a mutant was killed a few days ago, and the body has not been taken away yet..."

"Don't tell me, the situation is getting more and more chaotic now. We can't kill all the mutants. We might get infected one day."

"What should we do? If they don't die, then we will. These mutants have no humanity. Do you want to be bitten to death by them?"

"What if I grow those weird things? I might as well die. How disgusting!"

Sheng Shixian often heard such words.

When he first arrived at the center of A, he was struck by the prosperity here. The crowd moved, and the neon lights illuminated different figures. The glittering jewels and precious stones were all wealth and luxury.

Despite its splendor, Sheng Shixian had no time to admire it. He knew that from the moment he set foot here, countless guns were pointed at his head.

He is also a mutant, he dare not and cannot expose himself.

Sheng Shixian would sometimes hide in an empty alley. Whenever he couldn't control his urge to move, he would hide there and secretly listen to the outside world.

The sky was always gloomy, no light could be seen, and raindrops even dripped inconsiderately from it.

Sheng Shi squatted on the ground with envy and boredom, watching the rain falling from the sky into the puddles, creating faint ripples. The circles of arcs expanded, distorting his reflection in the water.

"I don't remember what today's homework is, Pei Du, do you remember it? Can you lend it to me tomorrow?"

Sheng Shixian was indifferent to what was happening in the outside world. He listened to the voices outside, with his long, flexible black tail exposed, occasionally tapping the ground to get some water droplets.

"Let me look for you. Where are you going? Are you going back this way?" Sheng Shixian suddenly felt a sharp pain on his tail. He was startled for a moment and quickly pulled back his tail and retreated into the alley cautiously.

The people outside were also startled by the movement in the alley. Sheng Shixian clenched the end of his tail, pressed the wall next to him with one hand, half-crouched and looked out, ready to attack if exposed.

Pei Du had just finished school at that time. The color of his school uniform was a tasteless gray with two blue stripes on the side, which looked both sad and ugly.

"Pei Du, what's wrong? What's inside?"

Sheng Shixian's breathing became heavy, his eyes fixed on Pei Du's throat, his sharp teeth bared threateningly.

Pei Du had a fair face, and his facial features had not yet fully developed, but his voice already had a calm and mature tone.

He didn't look at Sheng Shixian again, turned around and pulled the classmate next to him to continue walking forward.

"Nothing, just a cat."

The sound of footsteps faded away, and the water in the puddle splashed by the speeding cars. The sound of whistles for evasion was heard from time to time. Sheng Shixian stood in the alley and listened carefully to the sounds outside. It was just like any other day, a normal and uneventful day.

Sheng Shiyan's tense nerves relaxed, he opened his hands and put his fluffy tail against his face.

There was still a lingering sting from being stepped on, and as time passed, the burning and painful sensations slowly subsided.

"I'm not a cat."

Sheng Shixian frowned. He subconsciously wanted to bite something to vent, but his mouth was stretched and it was difficult to close. Finally, he opened his eyes amid the soreness in his muscles.
