Chapter 54

"Sob sob, Daddy, Mommy, someone save me, it hurts so much, let me go, please, I beg you."

They were the only ones who hadn't been harmed.

Similar screams and wails often came from the surrounding prison cells. Those heart-wrenching cries for pain constantly reminded Xilin and the others what kind of hell this was.

And how lucky they were.

And whenever they were too scared to sleep by these screams, Bai Ge would tell them stories.

The stories the boy told before bed—"Snow White," "Cinderella," "The Little Prince," etc. —could always divert Xilin and the others' attention.

Letting them forget the fear brought by those screams.

However, compared to these stories, Xilin and the others liked the boy's singing even more. It was a voice that they never tired of hearing, a voice that could comfort their souls.

Even the most timid Galina would smile from the bottom of her heart every time she heard him sing.

Bai Ge's composure and reliability made them rely on him, and coupled with the smile that seemed to always hang on his face, Xilin and the others really thought for a while that Bai Ge hadn't been treated too harshly.

Until...

One day, they accidentally saw the body under Bai Ge's clothes... a body where it was almost impossible to find a piece of intact skin, covered everywhere with the terrible traces of experiments.

At that moment, they finally understood completely.

The safety they had enjoyed so far, and all the beauty they possessed, were all exchanged by Bai Ge sacrificing himself.

Xilin: "How could I be so useless? Every time I can only watch helplessly as Bai Ge is taken away. Why, why... I can't do anything!!"
