After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS

"Can you understand the contents of these books?"

"Yeah, okay."

"Have you got any answers to the questions I gave you yesterday?"

"It's done. It took a lot of paper. Uncles, take a look."

".God, she's learned cohomological arithmetic! This is a genius!"

"Team Leader Luo, if this child receives a normal education, she will definitely have unexpected achievements when she grows up. Do we really want to continue to use her for the "Smart Brain Project"? "

"Gentlemen and ladies, please remember that one person's power is meaningless. What mankind needs is not one genius, but countless geniuses. This is also the meaning of the "Intelligent Brain Project". "

"understood."

"The experiment has reached a critical period. We must break through the second stage. No matter the cost!"

Two years ago, for unknown reasons, Xiaoqi decided not to sleep with Zero anymore and moved back to her original dormitory.

Every time Zero asked Xiaoqi, the other party would just deal with it perfunctorily without telling her why.

There is another strange thing.

No. 0 discovered that Xiaoqi's physical condition has been getting worse and worse in recent years.

At first, it was just that the frequency of yawning increased and I felt a little sleepy.

Later, I developed dark circles, my eyes were always bloodshot, and my hair was no longer as shiny as before.

Later, I kept getting colds and fevers, falling asleep in the ventilation area, and once even fainted while walking.

The doctor checked several times but could not find the cause. In addition, the children here are "consumables" with no guarantee, so the supervisors ignored her.

And as time goes by, the day of separation finally comes.

Today is December 12th, which is also Xiaoqi’s birthday.

After today, Xiaoqi will be 18 years old.

According to regulations, 18-year-old children will be sent out here to start a new life.

I have to say that Xiaoqi is lucky.

Because there are really very few children here who can grow up to 18 years old.

Many of the children Zero knew back then, including the little boy who fought her the most fiercely and turned her enemy into a friend, unfortunately died in subsequent experiments.

Today's experiment started as usual. During the preparation stage, Zero met Xiaoqi in the waiting area.

Zero asked softly: "Xiaoqi, are you leaving today?"

Xiaoqi nodded: "Yes, today is my birthday. I am officially 18 years old and will be under the control of the "Social Education Bureau". "

Zero pursed his lips tightly and was speechless. Only tears could not help but roll in his eyes.

Xiaoqi hugged No. 0 lovingly, touched her head and said, "Oh, don't cry. You can't cry with such beautiful eyes."

Zero buried his head in Xiaoqi's arms and sobbed: "After you leave, I will be alone."

Xiaoqi fell silent, her eyes getting darker and darker, making it difficult to read.

She looked around sideways.

The researchers in white clothes were busy making preparations and did not talk to any of the children, which created space for them to have private conversations.

"No. 0." Xiaoqi hugged No. 0 even tighter, her voice low enough that only the two of them could hear, "Listen to me, be sure to listen carefully."

From Xiaoqi's next narration, No. 0 learned a shocking secret.

Two years ago, Xiaoqi received greater preferential treatment than other children through her outstanding performance. Not only could she read books, but she also had more time to relax.

Even because of her intelligence, the managers admired her and occasionally allowed her to enter the administrative area to act as an office assistant.

Once, she found the construction structural drawings of an office in the administrative district and discovered that the wall of her bedroom was next to an underground pipe.

Those underground pipes were large enough for a girl like her to barely crawl, and they were not made of hard metal, but polyvinyl chloride that was easily broken.

So, she came up with an extremely bold idea.

She applied to be transferred back to her bedroom to live alone, and then she would get up in the middle of the night to dismantle the sink and dig into the wall with an iron spoon smuggled out of the canteen.

I kept digging until two hours before the wake-up whistle sounded the next day, then put the sink back to cover up, took a quick nap, and when I woke up, I put the excavated gravel and soil into my shoes and secretly went to the ventilation area. Spread.

Xiaoqi dug for a whole year and a half without anyone knowing. In the middle of this year, she dug out the connection between the bedroom and the underground pipe. It took another half a year to dig from the pipe to the surface. Yesterday, she finally opened up the connection between the bedroom and the outside world. .

She could have simply escaped yesterday and flown to the outside world like a bird out of its cage.

But when she was only one step away from freedom, she did not forget her original intention of doing so.

She put the sink back together as always, suppressing her desire for freedom all night just to tell Zero about this escape route.

After listening to Xiaoqi's story, No. 0 felt a huge sense of confusion lingering in her heart and lungs, almost suffocating her.

At this moment, No. 0 finally knew why Xiaoqi's physical condition was getting worse and worse in the past two years, because she barely got any rest at night.

After the supervisor turned off the lights, she started digging walls and holes. She had no other tools but her own hands and a small iron spoon stolen from the canteen.

In order to dig it out as soon as possible before she left at the age of 18, she had to dig until dawn every day and could only sleep for two hours before the whistle blew.

Lack of sleep for a long time made her immune system almost collapsed, so she got sick easily.

And Xiaoqi did all this not for herself, but for herself who grew up with her.

This escape route dug at the expense of health was reserved for myself so that I could escape after she left.

Zero stood there blankly, tears falling uncontrollably, and his voice was almost hoarse: "Xiaoqi, 豼."

"Shhhhhhhh" Xiaoqi held Zero in her arms, and used her body to block the sight of outsiders, and said in a deep voice, "Don't cry, don't talk, there is no time, listen to me carefully."

"After I left, you made an excuse to say that you missed me and applied to move to my dormitory. You have performed very well with me in the past few years, and the supervisor will definitely agree."

"When you get there, don't hesitate. Wait until all the supervisors fall asleep that night and immediately escape through the tunnel I dug."

When Xiaoqi said this, her voice became a little depressed: "In recent years, the intensity of experiments has become more and more intense, and many people have died.

"You still have a long, long time before you turn 18. If you continue to stay here, you may not survive until the time you leave."

"So, Zero, run, don't stay here anymore, run to the outside world, and embrace true freedom."

自由

Number Zero never thought that these two words would come to his life.

However, what awaited her at this time was not joy or excitement, but unprecedented confusion.

She has been locked up here since she was a child and has never seen the outside world.

Even if you escape and are free, where will you go?

Is there really a place for her in the strange world outside?

Zero hugged Xiaoqi tightly and asked at a loss: "Where can I go after escaping?"

"Anywhere is fine, you can go wherever you want!" Xiaoqi pressed her cheek against Zero's forehead and whispered with blurred eyes, "Little monster, you can never imagine what I saw yesterday."

"I saw the heavy snow covering the whole world with a layer of white gauze. I stepped in the snow, and everything around me was covered in snowflakes, like a dream world."

"After I leave the kindergarten today, I will find an opportunity to escape from the Social Education Bureau and go to a city far away from here to start a new life of my own."

"If you can't find a place to go after you escape, then find a place to hide quietly, just like we used to play hide and seek."

"I will come to you. No matter where you are hiding, no matter how long it takes, I will definitely find you!"

At this moment, a certain kind of throbbing that is difficult to describe in words filled Zero. The two little souls who had been together since childhood seemed to blend together, turning into wind and rain and floating in the vast world.

The childhood friend in front of him seemed to have become everything in Zero's life, and all the confusion and uneasiness about the future melted away in her warm embrace.

At this time, the researcher came over and said to the children in the waiting area: "Today's experiment has begun. According to the order just mentioned, No. 0 will come in first."

At this moment, Xiaoqi's hand holding Zero unconsciously tightened, and she bit her lower lip unconsciously.

She knew that this was the last time she and Zero would see each other here.

Even though I have warned myself countless times before, it is more important to be rational at times like this.

But when the time came to say goodbye, her heart seemed to be torn apart, and she hugged Zero for a long time and refused to let go.

"Number Zero, hurry up." came the impatient voice of the researcher.

Xiaoqi trembled and forcibly let go of No. 0's hand: "Go."

Zero staggered back, his voice so low that he almost choked: "I can still see you, right?"

For the first time in her life, Xiaoqi shed tears in front of Zero and said softly: "Yes. We will definitely meet again, in a sunny world."

Looking at No. 0 standing by the door of the laboratory, unspeakable sadness surged through Xiaoqi's heart, and the reluctance to say goodbye surged into her heart like a tide, almost making her unable to help but step forward and pull No. 0 back.

Until the researcher's big hand grabbed Zero's arm and dragged her into the laboratory, this childhood friend who grew up together disappeared from Xiaoqi's sight.

That year, she was 12 years old and she was 18 years old.
