Chapter Seventy-Three: Open Your Heart
"Yes, my dear child." Wedel replied in the affirmative.
"If you were to tell you that every journey you have taken in the Fantasy has been kept track of in real time from GVR's external surveillance system, I don't think you would blame me. From your communication with Success, I have a rough idea of your past, but it is not comprehensive. I want to know you as well as my own child, so that I can entrust you with the most important task of saving the planet. ”
"Important mission ......?" Haige was dazed.
He had a hunch that behind Wedel's warm reception there was a hidden motive that was not simple, but he could never guess what it would be. After being severely injured and unconscious, he was sent to the shipyard, where he healed, and then entered the Shadow Illusion to watch the destruction of the solar system, and then traveled to the underground plant kingdom, where he witnessed the extensive preparation of the Light of Redemption for the plan to save the earth......
Wedel must have used him to make such a move, and the purpose of doing all this may be the important task he just mentioned. Haige wanted to know the content of the mission immediately to see if it matched his guesses, but Wedel's attitude was clear, if he wanted to know the truth, he had to tell the experience.
Or ......" Hai Ge thought scaredly, "When he knows where I came from, how depressed my life was, and how much ink he didn't have in his stomach, will he dislike me, give up on me, and find a suitable person to take on the big task again?" ”
In any case, if you have come to this point, you can't show weakness, and you have to fight hard! The past experience is unbearable, but it is not his fault, and no one has the right to blame! If Wedel gave up on him for this reason, he would not be reluctant, but would ask to remain in the underground plant kingdom and contribute to the salvation of the earth.
Determined to inspire the courage he had built up in the illusion, he curled his back on the couch and straightened up.
After a short time together, his dependence on Wedel deepened. This sense of dependence is different from the feelings of the success of nanobots, which are comparable to the friendship between friends who formed a life-and-death friendship with Benlong.
Now he is dependent on Wedel like a child to his father, but unfortunately he has never met his biological father, and he does not know what it is like to receive fatherly love and respect for his father. So it was only then that he realized that deep down, he had unconsciously regarded Wedel as his father.
"Say it, child, just treat this place as your home, anyone in your own home, you can speak freely, and the family members who listen will only give you comfort and encouragement, and will not laugh at you or despise you."
Wedel saw through his concerns at a glance, and Hai Ge was startled, and he thought that except for the flickering of his eyes, he didn't reveal much inner activity.
But those words are so heartwarming that any timid person will put aside his cowardice when he hears them. Besides, Weddell is full of wealth and knowledge, and if he wants to dig out his secrets, the means can be endless, so why bother waiting for him to dictate? This is done in just two words: respect.
Hai Ge's feelings of emotion and gratitude are intertwined, and he is finally willing to open up his long-closed inner world and confess his misfortunes to Weidel in the past ten years.
……
Eighteen years ago, on a drizzling autumn night, a damp cardboard box was placed at the door of the Fraternity Orphanage in Tao'an City in the south. When the orphanage security guard was patrolling at night, he heard a faint cry of a baby outside the door, and quickly opened the door to look, and found the newborn Haige wrapped in a thin blanket and placed in a cardboard box that had been wet by the rain, dying......
The security guard quickly notified the nursing staff, and the nursing staff notified the dean, and the dean rushed to send the baby to the hospital for treatment. To celebrate the little one's new life, the kind people named him "Lucky".
Unfortunately, the luck of the little boy, named "Lucky", lasted only until he was three years old. During his three years in the orphanage, although he lacked the warmth of home, the staff also gave him enough care, so that he could be fed and clothed, and he could play with other orphans.
But like all lively little boys, the mischievous luck is difficult to control, and once the aunt who took care of him was not paying attention, he quietly slipped out of the orphanage alone......
"I guess you're the foolish tiger that Han's gang mentioned, right?" Hearing this, Wedel asked with a slight frown.
Hai Ge's shoulders trembled, and he also remembered the wolf's den bandits who sat in the courtyard of the ice castle in the shadow.
"Yes, I was called Fool Tiger at that time, a very ugly name!" Hai Ge gritted his teeth and said resentfully.
"So who gave you the beautiful name Haige?" Wedel asked with a gentle smile.
"This ...... Well...... this."
Hai Ge lowered his head embarrassedly, rubbed his hands and said, "It's me." Actually, I've been calling myself that for a long time, but it's useless, it's not my name registered on the identification chip. Except for the stupid dragon who would call me that in private, no one else knew about it at all. If I let Han or Chiwu's gang hear about it, they will definitely beat me to death. All the lowly paparazzi in the wolf den, the owner of the den will name them according to the animals, and they have no right to have their favorite names. Let's put it this way, although they are human beings, they can only accept worse treatment than lowly beasts, and rebellion is betrayal, and they will be punished more terrible than death. ”
"Hmm~" Wedel let out a sad sigh, and the hand hidden at his side was clenched into a fist.
He asked: "I have heard that in the highly civilized and intelligent earth, there is still a working class of slaves, but human traffickers trade slaves, usually hiding in the darkest places, which are difficult for ordinary people to notice. But people don't notice it, it doesn't mean that the industry is in a slump, in fact, it's always been thriving. Are the people who kidnap you a gang of slave traders? ”
Hai Ge shook his head: "Ah Han never admits that the children bought by the wolf's den are slaves, he gives them the official professional name of actor. The Wolf's Den is a legal circus with a license obtained through formal channels. We regularly perform in Ningxin City, and our performances are held at the well-known Grand Theater. The slave trade is illegal in modern society, and slaves have no identity information, and even if they do buy such labor, no one dares to let them appear in public. Ah Han is reluctant to step on the red line of the law and cause trouble on the way to make money. Circus performances are a mountain of gold that he can't dig up, and the high income every year, excluding performance fees, is enough to support the circus for several years, even if it is only a reward from the rich. But the exploitation of the so-called actors by the leaders of the wolf den is endless, and these children are not only not human beings in their eyes, but also inferior to animals. The only ones who are immune to torture are the animal trainers. Because their work is risky, if you want to kill one person, it is difficult to find a replacement at once. ”
