Chapter 204: Two Hundred Boys

Two Hundred Boys

The impact of the truth was even more shocking than Kelake had anticipated, and what made him feel even more incredulous was Milaier.

"Milaier, you are also..." Kelake looked at Milaier in shock.

Upon hearing this, the bewildered Milaier shook her head in a panic, "I don't know, I don't know anything..."

"You don't know? How could you not know," Hela sneered, "After seeing my memories, you should have noticed long ago that we have the same mother."

Milaier looked on the verge of a breakdown, clutching her head in resistance, "How is this possible, how is this possible... You are lying to me!" she looked up and rebuked angrily.

"Whether I'm lying to you, you'll know once you merge with us." Walunte and Hela immediately let out strange, cackling laughs. Their fused mountain-of-flesh body opened up like meat jelly, and the dense protrusions inside were all "eyes" looking around in every direction. They were both eyes and teeth; the unfolding body opened and closed, and the collision between the eyes produced a bone-chilling clatter.

The fusion monster approached Milaier, its opened body closing in to envelop her.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out, tackling the terrified Milaier to the ground. The two rolled on the floor, dodging the "bite" of the fusion monster.

"At this point, you still want to put up a futile resistance?" Walunte said coldly, "Very well, there can only be one final Dominator of this world, and you are merely miscellaneous bacteria; I can kill you whenever I want. Since you want to resist, then let it start with you."

Kelake watched as the mountain-like fusion monster surrounded him and Milaier once again. His heart turned cold, and for a moment, he did not know what to do.

His gaze darted around, and then he suddenly noticed those Red Shoes appearing before him. The Red Shoes walked elegantly toward the wall of flesh, as if an unstoppable transparent giant had forcibly smashed through the encirclement created by the fusion monster, opening a huge gap.

"Go!" Kelake pulled Milaier and ran, led by the Red Shoes, charging back into the Gubao.

The fusion monster let out a miserable shriek, the yin-yang face on the mountain of flesh becoming even more twisted and bizarre, its expression ferocious, "Damn it, where did those shoes come from!?"

It was as if things had returned to the very beginning. Kelake and Milaier were still hiding and fleeing in a sorry state within the Gubao. The only bad thing this time was that there were no hidden places left in this Gubao, and they had no chance to escape the Gubao or even this world. They had no place to hide; they were merely making a deathbed struggle now.

And Walunte and the others no longer had any desire to toy with them. They only wanted to kill Kelake and devour Milaier as quickly as possible to become the sole Dominator of this world, so they pursued Kelake and Milaier relentlessly.

Kelake and Milaier barely managed to rely on the complex terrain within the Castle and the corridors that were too narrow for the fusion monster, struggling to run and hide within the Gubao to avoid the fusion monster's attacks.

Boom, boom, boom—

The Castle was in turmoil. The Castle on the cliff was shaking, and a tower at the top detached from the Castle, fell to the ground, and rolled into the abyss... The Castle was tottering, on the verge of collapse.

……

The frantic shrieking almost instantly pierced Yu Lianyun's eardrums. She clutched the wall in pain, already sensing the mysterious power existing within that shrill cry. The sound not only made one's internal organs twitch uncontrollably, but it was also like a starving wild beast frantically tearing at human reason.

Many members of the Xuanmi Group had already been knocked down on the spot by this sudden scream, and some Mysterious Investigators even showed signs of becoming Abnormal. Their flesh deformed, and tumor-like meat balls emerged on the surface of their bodies. Those meat balls split a seam in the middle and slowly opened, revealing blood-soaked, blurred eyes.

Yet, amidst this frantic, monstrous roaring, Yu Lianyun felt a trace of sorrow and fear. That strange emotion caused her loosened "antenna" of intuition to resonate with it.

For the first time in a long while, Yu Lianyun entered another person's memory world and felt completely empathetic with the owner of the memory...

A young boy of about six years old was squatting in a corner, piecing together the bones of a Bird Building Block. He was very focused and very serious, trying hard to piece it together completely.

The little boy did not know what breed this bird was.

When he brought the injured bird home to seek his mother's help, her madness flared up again. She bit off the bird's head and spat it out, then threw the shivering bird carcass—which hadn't had time to react—onto the floor... At that time, he only felt fear and was completely unable to think.

Fortunately, when his kind father returned home, he helped him strip the bird's carcass down to bones and helped him make it into a building block.

If it was just a building block, the little boy had no problem with it, because his father had already given him many sets of building blocks. He had been piecing them together since he was small, and his room was already full of his building block collection; he just happened to be missing a bird.

Although the little boy was still a bit sad, he was no longer afraid. Even when his mother's madness subsided and she returned to normal to build the bird block with him, he felt heartfelt happiness.

He looked at the building blocks in the room: there were dogs, cats, mice, lizards... and now there was also a bird.

The little boy thought greedily: When will I be able to piece together a person with my own hands? If possible, he wanted Jieke from apartment 302 across the way. After all, he was the coolest kid among his peers in the nearby community. Although they were playmates, they weren't best friends yet.

With the desire to make friends, the little boy actively contacted the kid named Jieke. Children's friendships always formed quickly, and later they even swapped their favorite toys.

The boy gave Jieke the bird building block. Jieke was a bit surprised, but he still generously gave the boy a fake gemstone he had stolen from a two-dollar store, which he considered a priceless treasure.

The boy knew his mother didn't like shiny things, so he had to keep the first gift he received from a peer well-guarded.

Just... just hide it in his stomach!

One day... the little boy brought Jieke, who had been accidentally injured while playing, back home to ask his mother to treat Jieke.

Jieke's luck wasn't very good, and his mother lost control again.

So, the little boy's room soon had one more building block named "Jieke".

Jieke was gone, and the children in the community became fewer; their parents wouldn't let them come out to play.

The little boy became very bored. He looked at the Jieke building block and suddenly felt a bit of regret and loss.

Because there were no playmates, the little boy had no new building blocks to play with, so he started reading books. There were no other books in the house, so he could only read the books his father and mother hid under the bed.

The little boy originally thought there would be some interesting content in the books, but after reading them, he realized the content was very boring. And for some reason, the more he read the book, the colder he felt. He thought it might be because the floor under the bed was too cold.

Bored late at night, the little boy decided to learn from the book's content and perform an experiment. He drew a strange pattern by following the instructions, then lit several candles and recited a few prayers. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the candle flames inexplicably became vigorous and fierce, instantly setting the room's curtains on fire.

The little boy saw that the house was on fire and felt very panicked in his heart, but for some reason, he felt his head stinging with pain, his eyelids were fluttering, and he felt very sleepy.

Before falling asleep, he saw a thin, tall, faceless man in a suit appear in the house, walking toward him step by step, walking all the way into his eyes...
