Chapter 78
You have an empty room but you insist on squeezing into his room, right?
No way.
Xi Siling pretended not to hear and ruthlessly drove the two of them to an empty room in the yard.
"Brother Si Ling..."
"no."
Before Lin Zipei had the chance to act pitiful, she was ruthlessly blocked by Xi Siling.
Besides, he has important things to do tonight and can't be discovered.
The young man looked at him pitifully, and found that Xi Siling was not moved by it, so he could only give up unwillingly.
Anyway, since Lin Zhipei didn't succeed, Liu Huaqi didn't care where he slept at night.
I played games with the children in the orphanage for a while in the evening, and finally it was time to go to bed.
We will soon know what Pepe has been through, and maybe even uncover the family mystery of Liuhuaqi, but Si Ling is not happy at all.
The old thief is not the only hateful bastard. He has no love or respect for the characters in his paintings, and he can still understand them from a cross-dimensional perspective. However, in this world, there are too many people like Zi Yi Yue Yi who are unforgivable sins, and they are what Si Ling needs to be vigilant about.
The bed was warm and drowsy.
"Let's get started."
"Okay, then I'll retrieve Lin Zhipei's memories."
This was also the first time that the system saw Lin Zhipei's memory. This was the same principle as when he read Xi Siling's memory. These were things that could only be seen before a person was on the verge of death.
The light screen that was used to watch comics, barrages and forums in the past was occupied by Lin Zhipei's memories, and a pair of small hands appeared.
"If you're uncomfortable, I can automatically switch to third person."
After all, it is a memory, and there is no so-called distinction between personal pronouns. Excessive use of the first-person perspective may cause symptoms such as dizziness.
"No, that's all."
The first-person perspective can tell you more things. After all, you can only watch it once, and Xi Siling doesn't want to miss anything.
——
In Lin Zhipei's sixteen years of life so far, the first half seems to be no different from Xi Siling.
They all lost their parents when they were two or three years old and were brought to this orphanage by Mr. Zhong Huai. They have spent their entire lives here since they can remember.
They are of similar age and grew up together, which is why they had such a good relationship when they were young.
It is said that memory is the easiest thing to lose, and some unimportant things will be naturally forgotten by the brain, but Lin Zhipei remembers everything related to Xi Siling very clearly.
For example, where in the orphanage did they like to play the most, what was Brother Siling’s favorite food, what color he liked the most, and even the paintings he drew when he was a child were remembered.
The clarity of this memory is almost beyond normal. If I didn't think about it and miss it every day, it would hardly have survived until now.
Xi Siling felt a little uneasy, but he had to keep watching.
Finally, the time came for Lin Zhipei to be adopted.
The man who offered to adopt Lin Zhipei was called Hua Hegu, and he claimed to be Lin Zhipei's uncle.
Lin Zhipei was very interested in her relatives who suddenly appeared, so she hid outside the door and eavesdropped when Hua Hegu and Zhong Huai were talking.
"When I was a child, I had a conflict with my family and ran away from home. I finally returned home with wealth and honor, but I received the sad news that my sister had passed away. I heard that she had left behind a child, so I came all the way here to find her."
Memory will naturally include the owner's thoughts at the time. Pepe has no impression of his mother, and the man standing in front of him is more real.
'Mother's brother?'
There were no problems with Mr. Zhong Huai's investigation, and the evidence produced by Hua Hegu was not false. He was indeed Lin Zhipei's uncle, so the adoption matter was put on the agenda.
A few nights before leaving the orphanage to start a new life, Lin Zipei held Xi Siling's hand and talked a lot.
The child's imagination of future life, curiosity about relatives, and nostalgia for brother Siling.
"I will definitely come back to see your brother Si Ling often in the future!"
Lin Zhipei didn't know yet that this was not the starting point of a good life, but the beginning of a nightmare.
Hua Hegu took Lin Zhipei away from the orphanage and went to a laboratory that looked full of technology.
He is the boss of this laboratory and a new generation of supernatural scientist touted by powerful people.
"Did you bring the child back?"
"Heh, the director of the orphanage is really a nagging person. If I didn't want to conflict with him, I wouldn't bother to act in this scene."
"So heartless? You are this child's uncle."
“His value is limited to this.”
acting?
Hua Hegu glanced at Lin Zhipei without any warmth, as if he was looking at an object.
He didn't care what Lin Zhipei thought. Once he got here, he just let them do whatever they wanted.
The child sensed the danger and subconsciously tried to run away, but was pulled back by the man who spoke first.
"Mr. Zhong Huai will come back to see me! You can't hurt me!"
Lin Zhipei's vision was dizzy, which was a condition that only occurred when one was extremely frightened.
Hua and Gu had already walked away, and the man who spoke laughed.
"It doesn't matter, he won't find out."
The eight-year-old boy was ruthlessly pushed into the laboratory and became the most special one among thousands of experimental subjects.
They seemed to have injected something into Lin Zhipei's brain, and from then on Lin Zhipei lost the ability to tell the truth.
"You cannot reveal any information about the lab or the experiment, and you cannot ask for help from the outside world."
"Mr. Hua Hegu's orders are absolute. You will obey all his arrangements unconditionally."
These words penetrated into Lin Zhipei's heart like a curse, washing away his rationality, and could only be "engraved in his mind" time and time again.
He became Hua Hegu's "personal asset" and could only obey his orders.
Xi Siling finally understood why Lin Zipei cared so much about the memories related to him. After losing the ability to ask for help, the world was left with only pain and darkness.
The cold operating table and the disgusting smell of disinfectant, all of these made the memory painful.
Only the memories from childhood are beautiful.
Human beings are emotional animals. Without hope, they will die. In endless torture, only the memories of the good times can give Lin Zhipei a chance to breathe.
In the experiment, in the dream, and in every painful night, Lin Zipei was imagining Xi Siling's appearance, wondering whether her former good brother had grown taller and whether he had been adopted by other parents.
When Mr. Zhong Huai went to see him, Pepe had thought about asking for help, but it seemed that the control method combined with supernatural powers made him unable to even utter the word "help". He could only cooperate with Hua and Gu to perform one beautiful family love scene after another.
This dark period finally ended when he was sixteen years old, and Hua Hegu was very satisfied with his performance.
"As expected of you, you have my sister's blood. You are the only one who survived among so many test subjects."
Lin Zhipei had given up asking for help, so he had to give up too.
Hua Hegu thought that he could already realize his value for him, so he began to send him out to complete some important tasks for him.
Among them were the dirtiest 'cleaning' tasks, which Lin Zhipei completed perfectly.
So at Mr. Zhong Huai's invitation again, Hua Hegu kindly allowed the boy to return to his former orphanage to visit his former teachers and friends.
He didn't get to see Brother Siling.
Teacher Tang Yang told him that Xi Siling was busy with something and would be back a few days later.
But Lin Zhipei didn't have that much time, and he only managed to get three days.
This almost overwhelmed the boy.
Xi Siling's breathing became heavy outside of his memory. He clenched his fists. He didn't expect that in a corner where no one noticed, Pepe had experienced such a desperate thing.
"Si Ling..."
"I'm fine, go ahead."
Lin Zhipei's spirit was crushed, and her so-called self was nothing more than property in the hands of others.
As long as he completes Huahegu's mission, he can survive.
At the age of twenty, Hua Hegu gave him a new mission.
"His name is Liu Huaqi, and he is your target this time." Hua Hegu pointed at the young man in the information, his eyes flashing with the desire to get him.
Lin Zhipei just glanced at him lightly and asked, "Kill him?"
"No, you have to find a way to get close to him. In other words, I want you to become friends with him."
Hua Hegu leaned back in his chair and said something that even Lin Chipei could hardly understand.
"...friend?"
What a strange word...The shadow of a childhood playmate seemed to flash before Lin Zhipei's eyes.
"Yes, the Ryuka family started a sacrifice some time ago. This child was possessed by the so-called 'god', but he did not lose his consciousness. I am very interested in him."
Hua Hegu had tried to send people to bring the person back by force, but they all failed. Liu Huaqi's strength was many times stronger than he imagined.
If the hard approach doesn’t work, try the soft approach.
"Sacrifice...?"
Perhaps it was because he was certain that Lin Zipei had become a self-aware tool of his, and there was no way that Lin Zipei would expose him as the mastermind behind all this, so he did not need to hide many things from Lin Zipei.
Hua Hegu gave Lin Zhipei a general account of the Liuhua family.
"The Liuhua family has believed in their god [Yigong] for generations. It is said that the god feeds on despair. In order to let Yigong come to the world, Liuhua Qi was finally chosen. This child thought that his parents loved him very much, but in order to meet the condition of 'despair', he deliberately died in front of him."
Giving birth to a child, caring for him, and loving him are actually all for the purpose of cultivating a suitable vessel. Hua Hegu does not think there is anything wrong with such behavior, and even strangely develops a sense of respect for him.
Of course, this does not affect his desire to study Liuhuaci and Yigong.
Liuhuaci was just a stranger to Lin Chipei at this time. He felt very calm inside, and only one sentence slowly emerged in his mind.
'What a poor fellow.'
So Lin Zhipei began to get close to Liu Huaqi, caring for him and loving him, as if what Liu Huaqi's parents did was no different.
At least at some point in the past two or three years, Liu Huaqi truly believed that he was a friend he could trust.
Lin Zhipei was also very happy. The meaning of friends seemed to have returned to his understanding.
Until Hua Hegu finally asked him to take action against Liuhua Ju.
He couldn't resist Hua Hegu's orders, but he didn't want to hurt Liu Huaqi.
In the end, he chose to betray Liuhuaqi in the most clumsy way.
The moment her conspiracy was exposed, Lin Zhipei actually felt relieved.
"The sacrifice was originally presided over by your parents. They died in front of you so that you could successfully become the host of Yigong."
Lin Zhipei couldn't tell her own difficulties, but she could tell these unrestricted "secrets".
The rage was overwhelming, and it had nothing to do with him anymore.
Lin Zhipei watched the raindrops slowly soaking the entire world.
"The smell of rain is so nice—"
