Chapter 123

Yuan Luoyi entered the room, her ears filled with the ethereal laughter of children.

"Sister, look at the forest I painted!"

"Wow, beautiful!"

"If we're free, I want to see a real forest. Will you come with me, sister?"

"Of course! We'll go together, we've been together since birth, always together."

The two little girls held hands tightly, their appearances identical, but their demeanors contrasting—one lively and cheerful, the other tranquil and reserved.

The images in her mind gradually faded away, the two happy little girls disappearing.

Yuan Luoyi reached out, her fingertips touching the graffiti on the wall. Over time, it had become faded and discolored, but she recognized the familiar strokes—she had drawn it...

A few male servants came in, quickly changing the bedding and wiping clean the tables and chairs.

Worried that Yuan Luoyi might get bored, Yuan Si ordered someone to bring a television and various books. He still didn't understand what love was, but he intended to nurture this sister for a long time, perhaps one day he would understand.

After everything was arranged, Yuan Si left the room: "It's getting late, you should rest."

Yuan Luoyi said, "Good night, fourth brother."

Yuan Si said, "Good night, my dear sister."

A familiar scene, familiar dialogue—this farewell had happened countless times, only with different people, in fragments of memory.

Yuan Jianghai said, "Good night, my dear children."

The two little girls said in unison, "Good night, grandpa."

Their voices stifled with fear.

The heavy door opened with a grating metal-on-metal screech.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

"Bang!"

The door shut completely, the ceiling fan spinning overhead with the faint whirring of butterfly wings. All other footsteps, voices, even the sound of waves outside, were shut out.

More and more memory fragments appeared as Yuan Luoyi moved around the room, looking at objects.

[Ding!]

Yuan Luoyi sat down, suddenly feeling very sad—a sadness that seemed to have haunted her since birth, making her tear up every time she looked in the mirror.

"When it died, what did you feel?"

"Power. I'm far stronger than it, so I can kill it."

"Just now, when your sister nearly died, what did you feel?"

Yi Qi's face was pale, her body shaking uncontrollably. She said, "Pain, fear, despair."

Yuan Jianghai smiled with satisfaction. "Do you know why the difference was so vast?"

Yi Qi said, "I don't know."

Yuan Jianghai said, "Because you have true love for your sister..."

Yi Qi couldn't understand what Yuan Jianghai meant. Previously, he had been a kind grandfather, depriving them of freedom but giving them sufficient care.

But yesterday, after Yi Qi tried to escape with Luoyi, he suddenly changed. A silver knife pierced Luoyi's abdomen, the gushing blood making Yi Qi panic for the first time.

They were locked in the room, blood flowing endlessly. At first, Luoyi was still somewhat conscious, but later she passed out.

Yi Qi kept calling for help, her voice echoing in the room, unanswered.

The next day, Yi Qi could visit her sister. Having just undergone surgery, Luoyi was very weak, but she still smiled when she saw Yi Qi.

Luoyi said, "Sister, I'm alright now."

Yi Qi felt terrible, sitting by Luoyi's side. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If only we hadn't tried to escape. I'm the older sister, but you're always the one comforting me."

Luoyi said, "You were only born ten minutes earlier than me."

Yi Qi said, "Ten minutes earlier still makes me older, you're my little sister."

Yi Qi's thoughts were muddled. Grandfather was a cruel tyrant. Discarded test subjects were piled together for mass cremation. They were all children abandoned by their parents.

Either they weren't smart enough, or weren't pretty enough, or carried genetic diseases.

In any case, they were not perfect enough, no one raised them, and to their parents they were a waste of money, and it would be better to have another one, while Yuan Jianghai would help them choose and cultivate the best child.

The briny sea breeze always carried the scent of blood.

Yuan Jianghai's words echoed in Yi Qi's ears: "Yi Qi, your genes were carefully selected by me. You are a beautiful and intelligent child. You know what to do to please me, don't you? You won't end up like them, right?"

In the hospital room, Yi Qi tightly hugged her sister Luoyi.

If they didn't escape, they would eventually die, but they were too young, and their chances of success were slim.

She had to find a way, even if it meant only allowing Luoyi to be free!
