Lin Xian felt the world a chaotic blur, with a ringing sound filling his head and a musty, rotten stench in the air making him frown.
He didn’t know if he was still on the train, because even the restroom in a train compartment wouldn’t smell this bad.
Faintly waking up, he found himself in pitch darkness; it seemed he was deep within some dark prison.
A frail shadow sat in the corner not far from him; focusing his eyes, Lin Xian saw it was a girl about thirteen or fourteen, sitting with her legs pulled in. She was so thin that it hinted at malnutrition, yet her brilliant eyes shone with a sparkling light.
She seemed to be waiting for something.
Lin Xian was stunned to see her, his mind a mess.
How did En Qi turn into a little girl?
Well, she was a little girl before, but Lin Xian didn’t remember her being this young...
He called out, but the girl didn’t respond.
Lin Xian suppressed the confusion in his heart and stood up to examine his surroundings. He went to the iron door and found a mechanical lock controlled by circuits. Placing his hand on it, Mechanical Heart activated, instantly finding the pathway.
But this time, no matter what, he couldn’t open the electric gate in front of him.
Lin Xian looked at his hands. Could it be that his superpower had failed?
And wasn’t he on a train? How did he end up in such a hellish place?
What was that terrifying giant corpse in the sky he had seen just before?
Who was this person who looked so much like En Qi?
All of this made Lin Xian feel mentally scrambled.
At that moment, the sound of an iron gate opening came from afar.
The En Qi hidden in the shadows seemed to shiver upon hearing this sound. Lin Xian turned back to see the girl’s eyes filled with fear and unease.
With the sound of leather shoes approaching, several uniformed figures wearing big hats walked over.
Lin Xian’s expression turned alert as he quietly prepared his Wind Cannon.
The leader was a middle-aged man who swept his gaze across as if he didn’t see Lin Xian at all, focusing instead on En Qi.
"305, open the door."
The sound of the electric lock sounded, and the iron door slowly opened. Two of the big hats came in and picked En Qi up by her sides.
Lin Xian stood up ready to make a move, but his raised fist stopped in mid-air.
Could see him at all!
A distressed Lin Xian had an extremely complex expression as he restrained the impulse within him and pondered, realizing he must be in some kind of spiritual realm.
As if sensing something instinctively, when En Qi was taken away, Lin Xian saw the scene outside the iron bars change abruptly.
It was as if he had arrived in a dark cinema.
He saw En Qi brought into a strange room, sitting on a stool, with a woman holding a file standing in front of her, seemingly talking to her.
"Your name is Zhao Enqi?"
"Yes." En Qi’s voice was low.
"What is your relationship with Zhao Lu?"
"But the records show that she is your biological mother who sent you to Yulan Orphanage eight years ago and then disappeared."
"What exactly do you want to ask..."
The woman continued, "How much do you know about her?"
KIKI remained silent.
The woman paused for a moment and then said, "From Zhao Lu’s information, we found someone who might be your father. Do you want to see him?"
KIKI’s gaze was wooden, and she did not raise her head.
The woman was startled for a moment, then continued, "Your father’s surname is Wen, and he’s the boss of Linglong Group, the richest man in the city."
"I guess I’m rich now, right?" KIKI, with her head hung low, murmured without a trace of joy in her voice.
"I’ve looked at your file. You escaped from the orphanage at 8, lived by swindling in the old district, and self-taught programming just to steal money from ATMs. You’ve been in detention 19 times in 6 years, truly a life of notoriety," the woman said with a tone of scorn. "Who would have thought someone like you, such trash, would have such good fortune and suddenly get a father like that. You must be quite pleased."
KIKI’s gaze was defiant, and she remained silent.
"Additionally, a week ago, we found your mother Zhao Lu’s body near the Lu City Wastewater Plant. Judging by the decomposition of the body, she’s been dead for over 20 days."
Upon hearing this, KIKI’s fingers trembled slightly, yet she still did not speak, her eyes hollow, her expression neither happy nor sad.
The scene shifted to the banks of a wastewater plant, where a gang was brutally beating a woman.
They were punching and kicking her; the woman was already battered and bruised, spitting out blood, her wretched screams harrowing.
"You damn whore, speak up! Where is your daughter!"
A man in a black suit kicked her harshly in the abdomen, "Do you think we won’t find her if you stay quiet?!"
"I don’t know... I really don’t know..." the woman pleaded pathetically.
However, a more ruthless assault came again.
Before long, the woman began to lose her resistance, her face drenched with blood...
At this moment, a light, hollow voice arose from behind. Lin Xian quickly turned to see the slender figure appearing in the corner not far behind him. Her lovely, lively face was hidden in the shadows, her gaze seemingly pleading for Lin Xian’s help.
Lin Xian’s expression steadied, as if understanding what was expected.
"Do you know who I am?"
"You’re here to help me," KIKI answered.
"Help you with what?" Lin Xian asked with a frown.
KIKI extended her finger and pointed towards the mob on the bank, "Help me kill them..."
Lin Xian frowned, "Who are you?"
The girl lifted her head, her eyes piercing through the shadows, staring intently at him.
Lin Xian’s face darkened, and with a flip of his hand, Mechanical Heart activated. Soon, a fully loaded Glock 23 pistol was fashioned from his hand. Having dismantled many materials and damaged firearms, he could now manufacture this basic pistol, his only problem being limited bullets.
The frail girl watched Lin Xian handle the gun, her expression revealing surprise.
She looked at Lin Xian and said slowly, "Thank you."
At that moment, KIKI suddenly appeared on the bankside.
"Eh, why is there a girl standing over there?" A man with a violent face swept his gaze over and spotted KIKI, standing alone in the distance.
The men stopped their beating, all eyes turning to look at her.
KIKI then lifted her right hand, shaping her index finger and thumb into the form of a gun.
"What does this girl mean?"
The girl’s gaze was deep and her face expressionless; with indifference, she softly uttered, "Bang."
In an instant, gunfire erupted, and a spray of blood burst from the back of the man’s head, dropping dead to the ground.
"Holy shit, she’s got a gun!"
The girl, expressionless, her eyes filled with deep hatred, kept repeating "Bang, bang~"
"Kill them... kill them all!"
The eerie whisper resounded in the girl’s ears.
The bullets mercilessly tore through the flesh of the few, eliciting screams of agony!
And in an instant, the assailants were punctured with bullet holes, flesh flying about.
