Chapter 2: Monsters

The sun came to the town at about the same time, as it has been for decades past.

However, today's town is different from yesterday's.

The school bus ran into a red light while passing through Pamir Street, and through the window, I could clearly see a five-storey supermarket around the corner.

When was it established? I didn't even notice it yesterday......

Whatever, every day in this town, more and more fresh buildings are springing up, shopping malls, stations, and even playgrounds. It's as if they've been stacked with blocks overnight, and a whole new picture can be seen around every corner. It's like in a trance, I haven't woken up from my dream.

That's a good thing because these things make the town more and more modern, more convenient, and easier for people to find jobs.

But I wasn't happy at all...... Because all of these things are stained with the name of [Umbrella Company]. Even the car I'm in right now...... It is also a product of the umbrella company.

Umbrella...... Umbrella....... Even the toilet bowl has an umbrella printed on it...... Everything in this town is made by Umbrella, and sometimes I even wonder if the people in the town are also owned by Umbrella Company.

Everyone loves umbrellas, except me.

It's not just because of its uncomfortable logo, it's more about ...... It robbed dad and mom.

For as long as I can remember, they have hardly stayed at home, sometimes only once a week, or even once a month.

When they got home, they slept, thinking with half-human-tall papers, or arguing with each other. They only have their work in their heads.

When I was nine years old, they promised me to go to an amusement park, but this year I'm 14 years old, and that promise still hasn't been fulfilled...... They didn't go to parent-teacher conferences, they didn't send me to school, and everyone was congratulating me on the day I got a perfect score on the end-of-year test...... Except for them.

But it doesn't matter, I get a perfect score every time anyway...... There is nothing unusual about this.

It was my classmate Angel, who called me a monster...... She had a good reason, because she had heard from his father that the people at Umbrella Corporation were working on nuclear weapons or monsters or something...... All the people in the town who weren't accepted into the umbrella company like to say that.

And my parents work for the umbrella company, so they're monsters too.

As for me, I'm even more of a monster...... If it weren't for a monster, how could I possibly get those math problems right?

Before you know it, the school bus has stopped at the entrance of the school.

I sat quietly in my chair, waiting for people to walk down. I like to be the last person to get out of the car because I don't have to worry about pointing at me behind me.

"Hi...... Shirley. Miss Platinum! ”

Just as I stepped off the bus, there was a shout from ahead.

I looked over to the voice, and saw Mr. Hilton running out of his janitorial with a box in his hand.

"I'm so sorry, I found this piece of mail right on my desk in the morning, I don't know when it was there, maybe I forgot...... It's so ......"

"Thank you, Mr. Hilton." I smiled and said that he was a typical good old man, and it may have been that he was a little upset about leaving this email...... But he didn't have to, because I didn't have to open it to know that there couldn't be anything important in this email.

Because I don't have any friends.

......

......

In the boring class, the teacher is still talking about those boring questions, to be honest, I don't know the difficulty of these questions, because no matter what kind of knowledge it is, as long as I listen to it once, I can learn it all.

Maybe like Angel said, I'm a monster.

Finally, when the boredom in my heart hit its peak, I remembered the box in my desk.

I'll take it out......

A small gift box with a bow tied with a gift ribbon on the outside, but the lame gesture makes it look more like tying shoes.

What will be inside?

Oh, what else could it be, a certificate of award for a chemistry competition, or an invitation to a boring competition somewhere?

If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to remind my parents that they also had a daughter, how could I have participated in this kind of thing?

Anyway, I opened the box.

However, then, I was slightly stunned.

Because the contents of the gift box were somewhat unexpected to me.

Not a ridiculous certificate, not an invitation...... But...... A test tube. The bright red liquid inside looked like dried blood plasma, with some faintly visible bubbles.

I picked it up by God...... The liquid writhed slightly.

It's as if a living thing has been disturbed from a dream.

I didn't know what it was, so, I looked back at the bottom of the box again, where there was a small note.

I picked up ..... Turn it open.

【Shirley. Hello Miss Platinum]

[Actually, I'd like to say 'dear Shirley,' but the one in my family doesn't like to put a woman's name after any 'dear', so I can only use this official opening line, you know.] 】

【...... Oh, I'm sorry, I think you probably don't understand, but it doesn't matter. 】

[Without further ado, what you're holding in your hand now is a complete copy of the G-virus, which I found in your pharmacy, and you may not know what the G-virus is, but you'll find out soon.] 】

[So, I won't say much about the way this potion is used.] You can inject it into your body and go on your way to the pinnacle of evolution again, and of course, you can send it directly to your parents and ask them to hurry up and finish that ridiculous job and take you to a quieter city...... Or, you can destroy the Umbrella Corporation and rule the entire planet by the way. 】

[You're a delicate girl, we all know that, so ...... I respect all your choices. 】

[Last...... I'll always remember the days with you, and you'll forget those forever, and that's good. 】

[β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Ziliang respectfully. 】
