Only a few seconds after the nurse handed over the shift, Jiang Bonan squeezed sideways into the room through the half-open door, becoming a phantom in the field of vision of others.

The boy on the hospital bed was pale, and the blood vessels on his arms, which were not half as thick as hers, were much clearer than those of ordinary people, and every piece of exposed skin was connected with various instruments with needles, and there were bruises of various sizes scattered on it. The whole doesn't feel like a living person.

But he was still alive. After all, the bizarre readings were still changing rapidly on the display, and Jiang Bonan took a cursory glance to roughly understand why Kong Zhongsi had used the uncomfortable metaphor of "meat on the chopping board" before.

If it weren't for the fact that people can't be disassembled at any time like a machine and then replace parts and reassemble at will, and this boy with only one "Li" character on the medical record card is the only precious sample, it is difficult to say whether he can still maintain the integrity of his appearance as a "person" now.

This is the only offspring of the ship's strongest psychic talent. As the youngest candidate in the second group, Jiang Bonan was once fortunate enough to meet his crazy mother in a hurry.

The reason why there was only a "hurry" side was because the next second she and the crazy woman looked at each other, the other party pounced on her like an untamed wild animal, and almost bit the neck of the nurse beside her with his teeth.

Then Jiang Bonan made a decisive move and broke the woman's two arms before the nurse's blood was splashed on the spot.

In the first twenty-two years of her life, she rarely had a time of bullying. She despised and respected every opponent who dared to stand before her openly, but a sick madwoman clearly did not mean to come to her hands to die. Jiang Bonan felt a trace of inconvenience and unbearable words when the other party let out a terrible scream, but she still did not hesitate to tie the inhuman-shaped woman back to the bed, and coldly watched the frightened medical staff pinch the needle one after another and pounce on it.

Out of some unknown apology, she pressed her palm to the boy's sweaty forehead and sighed softly.

Cold. If it is judged by the standards of a normal person, the boy's physique is obviously very unqualified. Even if there is a chance to leave this carefully designed sterile environment in the distant future, it is estimated that there will be no chance of living a long life.

No, the same can't be said either.

She simply sat down on the side of the boy's bed, and thought to herself about the meaningless philosophical question of whether it was a luxury to live or a luxury to die for such an experimenter.

At this moment, Jiang Bonan suddenly keenly noticed an unnatural bulge under the young man's pillow. Driven by curiosity, she didn't hesitate, and reached out and groped for a while, only to pull out a tattered little book from under the sheets.

She flipped through a few more pages, and soon realized that the notebook had been handbound from discarded forms and crooked medical stitches sewn in rows.

Wow, it's amazing, it's self-taught. Jiang Bonan glanced at the boy who was in a coma again, this time with a little impress.

After carefully reading the crooked handwriting on the paper for a moment, her fingers suddenly clenched.

It is an excerpt from the explanatory text of common medicines. However, it is also true that the requirements of medical staff for experimental subjects are often that the lower the IQ, the better, which is easier to control and can also slightly reduce the guilt of destroying their own kind step by step. This should be the only source of knowledge that this kid surnamed Li can access at present. Jiang Bonan continued to silently read the remarks that each word was only the size of a mung bean in front of the light source, and praised in his heart, the summary was good, and he had a talent for self-study.

Inexplicably, she suddenly remembered herself who used to peek at the teacher in the gym to teach swordsmanship.

The artificial sunlight is warm. The sound of blades colliding is very crisp. The venue for martial arts training is even more spacious and abnormal. For the self who didn't know anything except squatting in the corner of the kitchen to wash vegetables, the daily life of everyone else was luxurious and distant.

The boy who was born to succeed his mother did not actually have a name of his own. As you might have guessed, Li is the surname of our soon-to-be-retired countermeasures team leader, and no one knows who his real father is. Kong Zhongsi once explained to her, "Because a special person like him can't normally obtain citizenship on the ship, he doesn't have an ID in his hand, and he has never left any file in our system that summarizes his personal experience, and of course, his experience is not easy to summarize." As far as I know, in the ten years since he was born, he has never left that separate ward. ”

"As far as you know." Even though more than half a day has passed since she pressed a knife to her neck to question this rookie in the military academy, Jiang Bonan still remembers this bold junior at a young age. She tried her best to control the disgust that was about to be revealed, and said coldly with a biased face, "If you just told me a lie, I promise that you will be sent to a special prison by the countermeasures team tomorrow." ”

"Do you mean you'd like to see him with your own eyes?" After hearing her threat, Kong Zhongsi's eyes lit up slightly, "This is good. With your talent, it should be easy to do. ”

"It's useless to just be able to pat yourself on the back." Jiang Bonan stomped on a small protrusion on the wall, and continued to use the blade and corner of the wall to confine the other party in a narrow triangular area, "Of course, since you know who I am, then I kindly suggest that you don't have the idea of delaying time first and then looking for an opportunity to kill me as a witness." I know that Mr. Ling, who is about to take over from the countermeasures team, values you very much, and often praises you as a unique genius among these freshmen. But you yourself should understand that there is a gap between geniuses and geniuses......"

"It's true that Mr. Ling has praised me too much." Kong Zhong spread out his palm thoughtfully, revealing a small key, "Then Senior Jiang, are you willing to make a deal with me, a junior who is not angry?" I can now hand over to you the incriminating evidence of my attempt to sneak into the archives, and if you regret it, you can always reveal my true face to the top. ”

"The word "face" is a good word." Jiang Bonan smiled condescendingly, and in the next moment, the key was wrapped in a handkerchief and lay in the palm of her hand, "Don't worry, I'm very efficient." Even if someone above is desperate to save you afterwards, I can eliminate the harm for the people without knowing it. ”

"Eliminate harm for the people." Kong Zhongsi deliberately added an accent, looked up at her without fear and said, "I hope you really take the oath you took when you became a soldier to heart, and you won't become an accomplice of some executioners for the sake of power." ”

"You don't have to say that to me, you little brat." Jiang Bonan slowly put the knife into the sheath, but his eyes were still clear and sharp, "Also, don't compare me to that group of people." ”

Now, she recalled Kong Zhongsi's smile when she heard these words, and suddenly realized in hindsight whether the overly precocious top student of the military academy had already anticipated her current decision.

"As long as you never give up on yourself, God will definitely give you the opportunity to reshape the trajectory of your life." Jiang Bonan lowered his head slightly, leaned against the boy's side and whispered, "If your providence comes too late." That's okay, genius also brought a heavenly character. Then I'll do it. ”

She straightened up, stretched out as much as she could, and stretched out a wide stretch before heading out.

"Is that the kid?" Just after midsummer, the cool air has begun to seep into the house with the help of the early morning wind. Li Ran covered his mouth and coughed twice, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose that barely had a prescription, and did not look up.

"Yes. Originally, I saw her as homeless and a gifted person who could influence the spirit of others, and I planned to take her in kindly. The new subordinate always had a polite smirk, "As a result, she has only been on the island for half a month, and she almost wasted the medicine that was originally left for you, not to mention, and she couldn't control herself three times, and made our doctors half dead." You said that you are the same people who use this ability, how can you use it so well? ”

"If I could, I wouldn't mind exchanging talents with any of you." Li Ran's face did not change, and his protruding arm dragged his dry fingers on the paper, "After all, you may have heard that people like us die early." ”

"Don't say that." The subordinate laughed dryly, "In the future, we will have to rely on you for major matters." ”

"So what." Li Ran's train of thought was not interrupted by him, "What do you mean by bringing her to me?" Do you hope that I will be kind enough to ask you to leave someone who can hopefully replace me in the future, or will I be suggesting that I seize this great opportunity to lose her? ”

"What do you mean ......," the subordinate continued, "how can someone replace you?" I"

Finally a little upset by this person full of nonsense, Li Ran raised his head, and was about to give an eviction order, but he paused at the moment when he made eye contact with the girl.

It was obvious that the little girl who had only one breath left to hang for her life was also using the power in her body to observe him, like a half-dead wild cat unwillingly scratching his face with its dirty paws.

It doesn't hurt to scratch, and it's even a little itchy, as if I accidentally dug out something hidden underground.

Li Ran stared at the round eyes that seemed to be well-behaved and docile, and slowly revealed a somewhat strange smile.

"Come here." He beckoned to the little girl, and his voice was as gentle as if he had traveled through time and space for a moment, whispering hello to a soul he had voluntarily lost.

The girl hesitated, but walked to his side with an innocent and soft mask.

"It's okay, relax." Pretending not to see the thoughtful expression of his subordinates, Li Ran always focused his eyes on the girl, and suddenly put away his kind expression, and asked in a slightly solemn manner, "If now, I only give you a chance to say a word, if you say it well, I will let you stay, then what will you say to me?" ”

"Just stay?" The girl could roughly see something in his expression, and replied without thinking, "Your preset reward is not attractive at all. ”

"Okay." It's been a long time since Li Ran has smiled so sincerely as he did now, "You passed, I will try to be nice to you in the future...... What is your name? ”

"Nope." The girl shook her head slightly, her expression was about to endure the discomfort, "I grew up in an orphanage, where all the children don't have names, and the staff will only call us by our room name. ”

"Coincidentally. Actually, I also came up with my own name later. Li Ran tilted his head and thought for a while, "I'll help you get one?" Or do you prefer to make your own decisions? ”

"Whatever you want." Throughout, the girl did not show the slightest surprise at his sudden handout. Li Ran didn't know if she really didn't care, or if she was already used to the desperate situation of facing being abandoned.

"Alright then, I'll just get you one." Li Ran subconsciously glanced at the dry flower arrangement on the table, "It seems that today happens to be ...... Lu? ”

"Like." Seeing that Li Ran obviously didn't mean to ask her to continue to stand punished, the girl consciously found a small bench to sit down, and by the way, put forward the first request since the meeting, "If I can, I don't want to share the same name with a solar term." ”

"How about that called Lu Xiao?" Li Ran lowered his head again and began to flip through the newspaper, his movements naturally seemed to be as if the two of them had known each other for a long time, "It just so happens that it is the morning of Bailu." ”

"Is there any purpose in giving me that name?"

"I used to know someone who used to be named after a holiday, and she hasn't had a lot of luck." Li Ran took a sip of the medicinal tea soup, and felt the crisp bitter taste roll over her throat little by little, falling into a black hole in her chest, "But her life is really hard." So you can take this as a practical blessing. ”

"Okay." The girl was relatively short, and her legs that couldn't touch the ground were dangling in mid-air. She stared at Li Ran's somewhat trembling wrist for a moment, and the last one laughed behind her.
