Chapter 60: Innocence or Sophistication
"You, do you think my life is good right now? Well, of course, it's better than most orcs, and that's my luck. My hometown is in the desert, and my grandfather once saved a human by accident, and the two formed a friendship because of this.
Later, human orc traffickers came to the desert to catch the orcs, and my family fought to the death, and in the end, I was the only one who survived and was taken to the city.
After a few tosses, I unexpectedly met the human who my grandfather had saved before. He was the one who rescued me, then adopted me, and brought me to Huaihua City, where he arranged for me to enter the CDC.
Because of his relationship and my ability, I was placed in the CDC as a caretaker. Since then, because I have been following the rules, being faithful, and obeying the words of my superiors, I have where I am today.
However, even so, no human being is willing to accept me, and I am rejected by my own kind, I, I, I am not pleasing inside and out! Do you know? Do you know how hard it is for me?
Humans think I'm an orc, and orcs think I've taken refuge in humans and become a lackey of humans! β
Kent said as he leaned on Xiang Chen Liuling's shoulder and wiped his tears, the situation was quite grotesque.
"Well, you're just a member of the management process, why do you say you're a human lackey? And, doesn't it mean that the orcs in the CDC are all crazy? Humans are going crazy and they're going to be locked up, shouldn't that be your fault? β
"No, of course not. It's just that there are many orcs in the orc CDC who are not really crazy, many of them have been framed, and some have been caught because they are fighting against humans.
In fact, in the CDC, there is also a secret experimental base that specializes in using these orcs for experiments. Kent said, crying even more sadly.
"What you say is true!?" Xiang Chen Liuling was taken aback. Although it is not so simple to guess the CDC, I didn't expect that there is such a terrible side.
"yes, I didn't know that before. It wasn't until one time later that I noticed that orcs often disappeared or died of sudden illness.
It was only after I snooped around that I discovered this terrible fact. I didn't dare tell anyone, and I couldn't help the orcs. Do you know how hard my heart is? β
Xiang Chen Liuling blinked in shock, touched Kent's head like a kitten, and then asked:
"So, is there a chance that the orcs who are locked up inside will be released?"
"Generally speaking, there is almost no chance that the orcs who go in will come out unless they can get amnesty."
"Oh? How can I get the amnesty? β
"An amnesty must be issued by the head of the place, in other words, at least an amnesty issued by the lord of Huaihua City, or an amnesty issued by a person of higher rank than him. At the same time, a certificate signed by more than three attending doctors from the CDC is also required to prove that the orc is no longer a threat to society before it can be released.
However, no one wants to spend a lot of money for an orc, so in the more than 50 years since the establishment of the Huaihua City Orc Disease Control Center, there has not been a single precedent for being released. β
Is there really no one who wants to speak for the orcs? Xiang Chen Liuling couldn't believe it, but what Kent said next made her somewhat understandable.
After all, to put an orc in the CDC, you need to prove that the orc is crazy, which needs to be proved by the CDC doctors. As a result, a gray area arises in between. Many doctors have taken bribes to prove that the orcs are sick.
As a result, the medical certificate needed to release the orcs is almost impossible to obtain. Because no doctor was willing to slap themselves in the face, and besides, they were afraid that the orcs would retaliate against them after they went out, so they naturally refused to let the orcs out easily.
After the wine was drunk, Kent sobered up a lot.
Sitting up straight in embarrassment, he wiped his tears and said, "Miss Xiang, I guess, you want to save that Xiaoying, right?" I know she's not crazy because there is no madness and evil in her eyes, only sadness.
I've heard a little about her family master, and if Miss Xiang really wants to save her, it's best to act quickly. I can help you get the match, and it should be okay to bribe the three attending doctors.
You're one of the few humans I've ever been so friendly to orcs! I said so many things that shouldn't be said today, and my behavior was so inappropriate, I won't ask Miss Xiang for forgiveness, I just want to repay you with practical actions. β
Kent, who suddenly became serious, was very different from the previous drunken appearance, and in terms of honesty, Xiang Chen Liuling still preferred his drunken appearance, really like a big cat.
"Well, no, you don't have to give me anything in return. Well, I shouldn't be able to get that kind of amnesty for the time being, but can you help me talk to Xiaoying? It seemed inconvenient for me to go directly to her. β
"No problem! I'll take care of that! β
Kent had woken up from the wine here, but Gimona had fallen asleep completely.
Kent told him some interesting stories about his childhood in the desert, and when he saw that it was too late, he got up to take his leave.
Unexpectedly, one meal earned back the internal response of a CDC, Xiang Chen Liuling felt that the money was really well spent!
Blank had reservations about it, and in his opinion, Kent was drunk at the time, and then had to follow the trend. An orc who can mix with his current status in the human world will definitely not be naΓ―ve to the point where he can buy a meal and a table of wine.
Xiang Chen Liuling felt that Blank was too sophisticated, distrustful of others, and looked at everyone like a bad person.
Blank had no intention of arguing with her, and what kind of person Kent was could only be known if he actually encountered something.

The next morning, Jimena woke up on the couch, her head dizzy, and she couldn't remember what she had done yesterday.
Wu Qian came early, and when she saw Ji Mengna, she snickered.
"What are you laughing at?" Gimona asked with a frown.
"You put your arms around Mr. Blank's neck yesterday and refused to let go, but you embarrassed Mr. Blank."
"Huh? No way! That kid is a little handsome and a little skillful, but I can't do that! Don't talk nonsense! Gimona drank the fragment and refused to admit that she had done such a thing. Looking back, I suddenly remembered that Blank hadn't told her how he won the mahjong game yesterday! So he hurriedly asked:
"Where's Blank?"
"He went out early in the morning."
"Oh? What about your young lady? β
"Miss is in the study, and I don't know what I'm doing."
Ji Mena frowned, she wanted to stand up and wash up, but as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy, and she fell back to the sofa directly, and muttered: "Well, that Blue Star Brew from Whale Fall Manor is really delicious, but it's still on top if you drink too much!" β
"You've not only drunk Blue Star Brew, but you've also drunk a lot of other wines." Wu Qian added with a smile on the side.
Ji Mona suddenly said: "I said it! Why am I getting drunk!? I see! Mmmmmmmm β

In the study, Xiang Chen Liuling was lying on the desk, listening to Fei'er introduce her to the history and current situation of the orcs.
