"If I hadn't given birth to such a good-for-nothing, would I have ended up in this state? You are the jinx of our whole family!" The mother became more and more angry as she spoke, her finger almost poking Chen Xi's nose.

Chen Xi couldn't help but tremble as he tried to defend himself, "Mom... I'm useful... really..." However, his voice was so weak that it was instantly drowned out by his mother's even louder roar.

“What use are you? Tell me, what else can you do besides eat and drink my food every day? How much money can you earn to support yourself?” The mother’s face flushed red, and she became more and more agitated as she spoke.

The father echoed the mother's words and continued to belittle his child:

"Look at your uncle's sister, she's a graduate student at Shandong University and receives tens of thousands of yuan in scholarships every year! She's going to pass the civil service exam and bring honor to the family! And look at your behavior, you'll never be able to compare to her even a fraction in this lifetime!"

After a heated argument between her mother and father, the two eventually went down the path of divorce.

This wasn't the end of it. His mother blamed him for everything: "If it weren't for your uselessness and lack of ambition, I would never have divorced your father! It's all your fault!"

Her mother's words grew increasingly vicious. She gritted her teeth and roared, "You're such a burden! Living is a waste of money! Why don't you just die?! I shouldn't have given birth to such a useless piece of trash!"

A strange, deep voice seemed to emanate from the depths of my heart, whispering like a seductive viper: "Look at them, they're always like this, habitually belittling their own children while showering praise on other people's..."

The voice continued, "Think carefully about your so-called relatives. Have they ever really cared about you? No, all they care about is how much benefit you can bring them and how much value you can create."

"No one really cares about how you feel, poor child... You've always been ignored, neglected, and treated cruelly."

Why endure being abandoned and belittled time and time again?

"Be angry, unleash your fury, no one can help you..."

As that seductive voice faded, black energy appeared between Chen Xi's brows.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fierce as he took out a spear from his spatial storage and held it in his hand. He was about to get up and vent the anger that had been simmering in his heart, but he couldn't move.

It turned out that his limbs had already been restrained by restraints, which the "scholars" had done to prevent him from moving around.

Finding himself unable to get up, Chen Xi became even angrier. He struggled violently, and the leather restraints rubbed his wrists until they were red and slightly broken.

The "scholar" who had discussed a plan with the "doctor" just returned, and felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw his beloved in this state.

Fearing that Chen Xi might injure himself by moving around so much, the "scholar" and the "doctor" replaced the leather restraints that bound Chen Xi with more comfortable strips of cloth.

But in that case, the quality is not guaranteed.

In a fit of rage, Chen Xi possessed immense strength and broke free from his restraints with a single effort.

He swung his spear at the medical instrument that was buzzing in his ear, but the "scholar" reacted quickly, grabbing the spear with one hand before it was about to strike and snatching it from his hand, throwing it to the "doctor".

Without weapons to destroy things and vent his pent-up anger, Chen Xi used the most primitive weapons of mankind—fists and teeth—to attack the "scholars" who were trying to stop him.

The fist, thrown with all its might, slammed straight into the "scholar's" face, but the "scholar" showed no anger whatsoever in the face of the child's fierce punch.

With a crisp sound, the mask worn by the "scholar" fell off.

In an instant, a pale yet exceptionally handsome face was revealed, and those originally indifferent, icy crimson eyes were now filled with love for the child, burning like a blazing flame.

Chen Xi stared blankly at the incredibly familiar face before him, a wave of astonishment washing over him, so much so that his fist-throwing motion towards the "scholar" involuntarily paused slightly.

Just then, the "Doctor," who had been waiting for an opportunity, quickly approached, holding a syringe filled with sedatives tightly in his hand. The sharp needle gleamed with a chilling light, and it looked like it was about to pierce the vein in Chen Xi's arm.

The "scholar" suddenly stretched out a hand and slapped hard at the "doctor's" hand holding the syringe. With another crisp sound, the syringe flew out of the "doctor's" hand and fell to the ground.

The "Doctor" glared angrily at the "Scholar": "What exactly do you want? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to completely destroy you?"

However, the "scholar" was completely unfazed by the "doctor's" angry questioning. He casually raised his hand, gently wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and then grabbed Chen Xi's hands, pulling her tightly into his arms.

He gently stroked Chen Xi's back, as if comforting a frightened little animal, muttering to himself, "Little friend, how could you have ever fallen for this heartless fellow?"

Chen Xi's condition improved after being hugged, and she wrapped her arms around him with a dazed look in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, the "Doctor's" face instantly turned extremely gloomy. Suppressing his anger, he questioned, "What exactly do you mean by that? Don't you understand the consequences of doing this?"

The "scholar" standing to the side looked serious. He said solemnly, "What he needs now is to vent and be comforted, not to have this incident repeat in his mind while he's unconscious! If we let him keep repeating that incident in his mind while he's unconscious, the situation will only get worse!"

The "Doctor" frowned, a hint of impatience on his face, but he still suppressed his anger and pressed on, "Alright, young me, in your opinion, how should this problem be solved?"

The scholar took a deep breath and then slowly uttered a few words: "Completely eradicate that inner demon."

Upon hearing this, the "Doctor" was first taken aback, then burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Hehehehe, hahahahaha!"

After laughing, the smile vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sarcasm: "Are you kidding me? Those are his memories. I painstakingly faded them so he wouldn't suffer so much..."

Upon hearing this, the "scholar" clicked his tongue and retorted just as defiantly, "Tsk, it seems your brain has rusted from staying in this lab all this time. What I mean is..."
