My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 521 Hope?

[Hey! Have you heard? Something big happened at the welfare home a few days ago!

[What happened? I passed by today and found that the whole area was cordoned off and there were many police officers coming in and out.]

[I know about this. I heard that a wanted murderer escaped to our Jinghai Town and hid secretly in an orphanage, and took a group of poor children hostage.

In the end, he was shot in the head by a police sniper! 】

[What! Is this true? With such a close distance, isn't it possible that I could have just brushed shoulders with the murderer?]

【…】

……

[Hey! Others only know one side of the story. The most exciting part is what happened after the police shot the criminals dead. Guess what?

Pulling out the carrot brings out the dirt, the most cruel and evil person in the welfare home is not the criminals... but the old director of the welfare home! 】

[What? Don't talk nonsense! I know the old director. Although he is a bit lonely, he is very kind. Otherwise, how could he adopt so many children?

There are no famous cars or watches, life is very simple...】

[Nonsense? How could the basement of the welfare home be fake?
Of course she doesn't want luxury cars or watches, but she is even more hateful!

I heard that when the police discovered that secret basement, they saw all kinds of tools, human bones, blood...that scene was so creepy!
The town was worried about the bad influence, so they didn’t allow it to be published. 】

[Hiss~ No way?! ]

【…】

……

[She committed suicide out of fear of punishment? That was too easy for her! How could she bear to do that to such a young child!]

[Yes, I don’t know how many poor children they have harmed. I heard that now the little ones have been sent to a special hospital for psychological treatment. They are finally out of their misery.]

[Tsk! I've donated food and daily necessities to the welfare home a few times before, but I never thought she was this kind of person?]

[Do you know what it means to know a person's face but not his heart? I have long felt that the old woman was not normal. She did not look for a companion and did not dance in the square.

He will live out his life alone in an orphanage without asking for anything in return. Do you believe it?

It is easy to do good deeds occasionally, but it is difficult to do good deeds all your life. Does she want to accumulate merits to achieve enlightenment, or to gain reputation to impress China?

If there really is such a person, then he is either a saint or a pervert! 】

[Hey! What you said really makes sense. By the way, didn’t our town have many missing children in the past few years? Do you think it could be related to this incident?]

[Stop talking, stop talking. It’s really scary when you think about it! ]

【…】

……

[Everyone, the city takes this child abuse incident in the welfare home very seriously. The impact is very bad. Please all work hard in the next two days. Do not leave the front line even if you are slightly injured, and do not ask for leave unless you have no reason.

Our Jinghai Town is now developing into a tourist town. If its reputation declines due to this incident, it will affect the jobs of our fellow villagers!

We will hold another meeting tonight to check and fill in the gaps. The publicity department should make good arrangements, and the media should be careful not to exaggerate and cause greater negative impact...]

……

[Director Liu, what's going on with this case? Why are even the National Security Bureau here? ]

[Why else would I specially second you here? There are many hidden dangers here. I heard that there might be foreign espionage forces involved.]

[Orphanage? Spy? This... is a bit outrageous, right? What kind of confidential information can they get by going to the orphanage? Is this the enthusiasm of our country for donations? ]

[Who says there isn't? There are so many children in there, and the supervision is so lax, biological samples, gene sequencing, there are so many things that can be obtained! ]

[Hiss~ You mean, that basement is not for child abuse, but for birth...]

[Hush! Just keep it to yourself and don't spread it around. If you have nothing else to do, go patrol nearby. By the way, if there are foreign faces, be careful, you might be able to make a contribution!]

[Yes! Thank you for your advice, uncle! ]

[I've already told you, don't call me uncle in the police station! ]

【…】

……

[Are you telling the truth? 】

[It's absolutely true! My uncle told me this himself. How could I not call you when there's such a good opportunity to make a contribution? ]

[Humph! You are such a bad guy, you still have some conscience. ]

[Hey! Xiaoxi, after we finish our patrol, shall we go to the movies together in the evening? ]

【Virtue! 】

【…】

……

Listening to the various sounds coming from her ears, the blind girl with white eyes frowned slightly.

She was sitting on a park bench at the moment. If she looked up from here, she could vaguely see the outline of the orphanage's wall hidden among the trees...

The white Bichon Frise in his arms seemed to sense that his owner was in a bad mood, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.

"What's wrong my Lord? Is it bad?"

The man wearing sunglasses stood behind the girl, his voice as gentle as jade.

If there were any fans here, they would definitely be extremely surprised that Chaoge, whom they admired so much, was standing behind the blind girl like a servant, with his head lowered and his eyes looking submissive.

"Well... not bad, but weird..."

The girl spoke, without much emotion in her tone.

"eccentric?"

"I sent a number of listeners to the town to gather information, including several government offices and criminal investigation agencies. From the intelligence collected from all sides, it seems that the dean's disappearance this time was just an accident?"

She sorted out and digested the information she had collected in her mind, and roughly reconstructed the events of the previous two days...

"The cause of the incident should be that the person we sent over, Zhao Hu, accidentally exposed his whereabouts, which led to the police coming here.

Afterwards, Zhao Hu took hostages in the welfare home and was surrounded and shot dead. Unexpectedly, the police searched the welfare home again, which led to the director accidentally exposing the underground laboratory..."

"What?!" Chaoge's face changed when he heard that, and he immediately knelt on one knee, saying in fear and trepidation.

"It is my fault for failing to do my duty. I made such a big mistake in selecting the target. Please punish me, sir!"

"Chao Shu" just glanced at him indifferently.

“This is not your problem. Even I didn’t expect that Zhao Hu’s fugitive status would cause us so much trouble.

I said this thing is weird, and it's weird here...

How could a mere operation to capture a fugitive cause such heavy damage to the entire welfare home, leaving only a few listeners who had lost their command.

Even though the action team was transferred from outside, the dean was unable to obtain their intelligence in time.

But no matter whether it was an investigation or a warning range, it was impossible for the director to wait until the police surrounded the welfare home before taking any response. She should have transferred the people long ago.

Although the dog-catching teams active around during this period caused some trouble to the listener, they were not so careless that they did not allow Zhao Hu time to escape.

unless……

The dean didn’t think it was necessary to transfer Zhao Hu at first, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late…”

She stood up slowly and faced the direction of the welfare home with a frown on her face.

"The strangest thing is... even though the police had disguised themselves in order to get close to the orphanage, the director was not careful and made mistakes in his response.

But with the Dean’s strength, even if he encountered a direct attack from the army, he shouldn’t be killed without getting any news out…”

"Kill?!" Chaoge was shocked when he heard that.

"Sir, you...you mean...the dean has already...

No! Impossible, could it be that the dean faked his own death to get away with it?"

He knew the existence of the "Gods". How could that kind of monster be killed?
"No... the dean is indeed dead, and the spiritual connection between me and her has been completely severed...

Otherwise, why do you think the Nest ordered us to come here for follow-up investigation?"

Seeing Chaoge's horrified expression, "Chao Shu" seemed to think that this undermined the dignity of the "God Clan".

"Humph! Just like all living things, even if the body dies, the brain will still survive for a while.

The brain is not immortal, but it can maintain activity for a short period of time unless it is fatally injured.

But if the main body of the brain is destroyed instantly..."

"Sir, what you mean is that the dean's brain tissue was destroyed in a very short period of time, such as... sniper attack?" Chao Ge said in shock.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but under normal circumstances, how could a human kill the dean in this way?"

"Hmm... Could it be that the dean wanted to fight to the death at the last moment, so he was shot by the police sniper..."

"emmm..."

"Chao Shu" fell silent and did not answer for a long time.

After all, the scene of capturing the fugitive was so chaotic and the situation was unclear at the time, so she couldn't completely rule out this possibility.

But she was still very confused. After all, the dean would never take the initiative unless it was absolutely necessary.

If he were to show off his strength in front of humans just because he had exposed an underground laboratory, this would not be consistent with the dean's behavior pattern and would only arouse greater suspicion from humans.

Especially when there is no certainty of escape...

Manslaughter? Accidental discharge?
It seems that this matter cannot be explained at all except for similar coincidences.

If it was really a deliberate targeting by humans, unless they had obtained detailed intelligence about the welfare home beforehand, it would be impossible for them to be so flawless...

If it weren't for the fact that the parasitic "families" couldn't betray her and their every move was under surveillance, she would have begun to suspect that someone within her had leaked the existence of the orphanage...

“Even if the director’s death was indeed a coincidence, the current situation is that the Chinese top brass should have noticed some anomalies in the welfare home.

The disappearing bodies of Zhao Hu and the dean are proof of this.

There was no news about that action team either, as if they had been deliberately hidden.

We are currently unable to determine the completeness of the corpse, and therefore we are unable to determine how much information the other party can obtain about us from the corpse...

But the good news is that they now seem to have mistakenly believed that this was a secret biological experiment by a hostile country..."

At this point, "Chao Shu" seemed to have a hint of mockery on his face.

"Yes, this is the normal reaction that humans should have. After all, in their short history of civilization, the greatest enemy of mankind has always been mankind itself..."

Chaoge remained silent.

"Chao Shu" however continued without caring at all.

"Our top priority now is to find the two bodies and try to eliminate all traces of our presence. Also... we need to find the girl named Xiaoyu!"

"Xiao Yu? Are they from the same clan as us?" Chaoge asked doubtfully.

"Same as you? Haha! No, it's a more perfect vessel than you!"

Chaoge's face changed slightly, but "Chao Shu" didn't care about the inner thoughts of a mere puppet at all.

"'Nest' has issued an order. Since the director is dead, from now on I will officially take over the mission of the welfare home and become the new director!
However, this current body is not compatible with me very well, and the time I can appear is greatly limited.

Only by getting that girl's body can I truly have the strength to rival the other ten deans!"

"Sir!" Chaoge looked panicked.

"Heh!" "Chao Shu" looked at him with a slightly mocking look in his eyes.

“Don’t worry, even if I change the container, your lover won’t die. On the contrary, you should be happy.

Because...she's free!"

free?

These two words seemed to have some kind of magic that made Chaoge stunned for a moment.

It was not until he met the cold gaze of "Chao Shu" that he woke up from his dream, his back covered in cold sweat.

"Sir, you will become even more powerful after changing your vessel. My brother and I will only work harder for the God Clan!
Humanity is a lone sail that is about to capsize. Only the Protoss is the ark that truly flies to freedom!"

free?

That's just a luxury.

Whether it is to control him as a chess piece or to eliminate the risk of leaks, Chao Shu will never be free.

"Haha!" "Chao Shu" nodded with satisfaction.

She didn't care whether Chaoge really thought so in her heart, because they would never return the "body" of their clan to their "will"...

"Oh, sir, no, it should be the dean now!

Can't you use the spiritual connection to sense the approximate location of Xiaoyu? "

“No, Xiaoyu is receiving the same spiritual frequency as the dean. Currently, only the dean can remotely sense the other party’s existence.

Even the 'Nest' can only be perceived indirectly through the Dean.

This is like your human nervous system. If the spinal nerves that serve as links are severed, no matter how strong the signals transmitted by the brain are, they will not be able to sense your lower limbs. "

Seemingly very satisfied with the new title, "Chao Shu" revealed some secrets of spiritual resonance without any hesitation.

There was naturally no need for her to keep silent about the clansmen whose lives and deaths were controlled by her, except for some core secrets.

Chaoge nodded.

Although there is a "nest" that is similar to a central brain, the division of labor and class of the gods are actually very clear.

Unless there are special circumstances, "Nest" will not take care of everything.

Although they are all controlled by the "Nest", each god is an independent individual. They seem to be influenced by parasitic clans and have independent ways of thinking and personality traits.

After spending a long time with him, he gradually figured out some of the habits and hobbies of this "adult" in front of him...

“So in the current situation, we can only collect intelligence and send listeners to re-establish contact with the other party.

Go ahead and investigate her whereabouts. I want that girl..."

After saying this, "Chao Shu's" expression suddenly relaxed, as if another personality came online, and the cold look gradually became lively.

"Hmm? Brother, this is..."

Chao Shu tilted his head in confusion, feeling the surrounding park environment with a puzzled look on his face.

However, the next moment, as if sensing some familiar scenes, his pale eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the welfare home, and his whole body began to tremble.

"Brother...Brother, this...is this..."

"Xiao Shu, don't be afraid! I'm here."

Feeling a little distressed, she gently embraced Chao Shu in her arms.

Chaoge raised his head and looked at the mottled wall of the welfare home in the distance with complicated eyes.

There... is the "home" that once raised them.

But it is also... the source of their greatest fear deep in their hearts...

And today, this source of misfortune suddenly disappeared?
The dean who was as scary as a demon, who created them but also led them into the abyss... died so easily? !

A ripple appeared in his already desperate heart.

That extremely dark fate seemed to have a glimmer of light.

Is this a joke of fate, or is it... the hope that I have buried deep in my heart and almost no longer have any illusions about?
I felt Chao Shu hugging my trembling body tightly.

At this moment, Chaoge's eyes were dark and unclear...
