Chapter 80: Corruption

Just as he was lost in thought, the scene outside the prison changed again.

This time it was a gloomy corridor. A little girl who looked only three or four years old sat on a bench in the corridor, holding a faded teddy bear doll in her hand.

The doll seemed very old, but it had been cleaned very thoroughly.

The little girl buried her head low, sitting obediently, her small face full of confusion and fear.

At this moment, in a room not far from her, the door was half-open; it was an office.

"According to regulations, only if both parents have special difficulties or health conditions can a child be sent to our orphanage, and both parents must send the child together. Ms. Zhao, your situation clearly does not meet..."

"Director... Director, listen to me." The woman's emotions seemed to carry anxiety and unease. She said urgently, "She can't be with me, she will die, she will definitely die..."

"This..."

"Please, she is very obedient, she won't cause you any trouble."

The director saw the woman's panic and frowned, saying, "Ms. Zhao, I am very sorry..."

"Ah!!"

The woman's calm face began to tremble. She suddenly screamed hysterically, messed up her hair, tore open her collar, and like a madwoman, picked up a vase on the table and smashed it against her own head.

*Bang~ crash*

The scene changed abruptly. Soon, security guards and teachers kept rushing into the office, trying to stop the woman who had gone mad.

The little girl sat quietly in the corridor, burying her head low. People came and went in the corridor; the noise and screams seemed to be blocked out by her.

I don't know how much time passed, but the room gradually quieted down.

*Creak~*

The door opened, and a woman with messy hair walked out. She stood at the door for a moment; she seemed to look at the little girl, or perhaps she didn't.

She just stood there for a while.

Then, she turned and walked toward the distant light.

The sunlight stretched the woman's shadow longer and longer, and the woman's figure happened to block the distant sunlight, making the corridor even darker.

"Zhao Zhao Enqi, your mother is a lunatic!"

"We are different from you, you were abandoned by your mother..."

"Your mother hurt the principal, she's definitely going to be executed."

I don't know when, but several children of the same age appeared beside the girl. They pointed at her, mocking her, one after another.

"Zhao Zhao Enqi, why are you so naughty?!"

The teachers of the orphanage also appeared beside her with fierce gazes.

"Who taught you to lie? You've been a little liar since you were small, what will you be like when you grow up!!"

"Zhao Zhao Enqi! Why did you run out again!!"

"Zhao Zhao Enqi, why are you like your mother? Could it be that you are a lunatic too?!"

"Can you help me?"

Lin Lin Xian blinked, and the children and teachers in the corridor vanished.

He was back in the black prison, and the little girl was sitting on the bench opposite him.

At this moment, there were three girls in the prison.

Lin Lin Xian knew these were Kiki at three different stages.

The little girl buried her head low, her two hands nervously fiddling with the teddy bear doll in her hand.

But she didn't cry; she just silently fiddled with the doll.

It was as if she were just sitting for a while, and someone would come to pick her up and take her away later.

"Help you with what?" Lin Lin Xian suddenly changed the question, no longer asking if the other party recognized him.

The little girl raised her hand, just like before, waiting for Lin Lin Xian to give her something. Lin Lin Xian frowned, finally realizing something was wrong.

His expression changed from calm to solemn, and he suddenly said loudly, "Do you want to kill the principal, or kill those classmates, or are you saying you want to kill your mother?"

The little girl didn't speak.

"No, Kiki."

Lin Lin Xian's expression was serious, his emotions becoming somewhat agitated. "Listen to me, those people before were people who deserved to die, they deserved it, but the classmates and teachers at the orphanage, they were just..."

Lin Lin Xian's tone stalled.

His lips were dry; he felt he had fallen into some kind of logical dilemma. He thought halfway through:

"They were just annoying guys... but there's no need to kill them."

Everything seemed to be just fragments of Kiki's memories, but Lin Lin Xian didn't know why, he just had a very strong feeling.

If all these children, teachers, and her mother were killed,

then there would be no more Kiki.

Because he thought of a word.

Hatred.

!

Why did he see these images?

Was something happening to Kiki?

"Whether it's announced by the Phoenix Society or spread among the drifter groups, almost all abilities cannot escape three things: one is a certain item, two is a certain change related to the body and mindset, and the last is a certain specific condition."

Thinking of this, Lin Lin Xian suddenly felt a chill all over. A hair-raising sensation instantly surged from his spine to the top of his head!

He remembered a word from the "Angel Project" data Kiki had mentioned before.

"Corruption."

"According to the partial cases collected from within, evolution is not inevitable or possess a certain specific result; it is also possible... that it evolves incorrectly!"

"Kiki is currently in a near-death state. Could it be... that her ability is undergoing some kind of change?"

"Emotions... spirit..."

"Incorrect evolution..."

"What is corrupting her?"

Lin Lin Xian frowned and retreated a few steps.

He remembered the white monster he had seen earlier, as well as the black ink in Kiki's eyes, and felt a chill on his spine.

But why did Lin Lin Xian suddenly see that white monster?

"Is it because of that eerie antenna?"

"Definitely."

"If that's the case, then that thing has actually been by Kiki's side the whole time, but no one can see it?"

*Hiss... *

Lin Lin Xian stood in the black prison, his figure lonely, gasping for air. At this moment, his gaze was shocked; he seemed to have glimpsed a forbidden object in the darkness.

Perhaps there is a possibility that those eerie things have always been by their side!!

Not long ago, Lin Lin Xian had been talking to Gao Ta on the train, feeling that those monsters in the dark were not attracted by sound, but by living people.

Whether it was that giant white monster or the three-faced spider, they always appeared eerily near Lin Lin Xian, as if the eeriness had been there all along!

The moment this thought appeared, the hair on his body stood on end. He immediately stood up and retreated a few steps. At this moment, within his line of sight, he discovered that in the shadows behind the three girls, a massive black shadow seemed to be standing.

In this black prison, besides him and the three girls, there was another existence!

His gaze trembled, staring fixedly at that black shadow.

And that black shadow seemed to be gazing at Lin Lin Xian as well. It stood in the shadows of the corner, slowly moving forward, and a pale, terrifying face appeared in his line of sight.

It opened its bloody mouth, seemingly devouring something.

And the three Kiki's from different periods began to wither, their faces becoming terrifying, as if all their life force were being taken away!

As expected!

Kiki was currently on the verge of corruption due to a mental breakdown!
