“What did you say?”

“Nothing. I just remembered an old man called Fu Sheng,” Han Fei said.

“I have no idea who that is.” The boy shook his head.

“That’s impossible. He’s one of the earlier managers of Immortal Pharma. Every orphan here should be related to him.” Han Fei wanted to know the timeline, but Mad Laughter refused to tell him, and the others had forgotten Fu Sheng.

“There was a kind old man who chose the first batch of children to join the experiment. But he went missing not long after the experiment started. He was taken over by Fu Tian. He has the same surname.” No. 2 pulled back the history of the past for Han Fei. “Their styles are very different. The earlier elder was careful with everything. He would test something many times before he could let the children join the experiments. As for Fu Tian… he seems to be urgent. He would stop at nothing to get to his goal. In his eyes, we are more like objects.” The boy’s choice of words was very interesting. Basically, Fu Tian had never treated them as humans. “If you’re interested in this, I can show you around. The day is darkening too.” The boy had Han Fei push the wheelchair, and they left the room. He was blind, but that didn’t affect the boy. He had memorized the map of the orphanage in his mind. As the cleverest child there, he had been trying to escape since he was brought there. As he grew older, he placed more pressure on the staff.

Walking down the empty corridor, the lights were off, and there was no sound. “The rooms on both sides are the children’s bedrooms. They should be sleeping now.” The boy guided Han Fei with the map in his mind. “I don’t like them because most of them are a burden to me.”

“Burden?”

“I successfully escaped from this place six months ago, but leaving alone is not my intention.” No. 2 raised his arm to touch the scar on his face. He said evenly, “I plan to bring them with me.”

“This should be an impossible mission. After all, the children here are heavily mentally-challenged. They are not normal.” Han Fei realized why Mad Laughter had such deep memories of No. 2. He was a powerful and kind child.

“Does that mean they should be abandoned?” No. 2 smiled, “In that case, I’m the most abnormal. My parents are monsters, and I was treated as a monster since I was young.”

“Have you seen your parents?” Han Fei’s heart moved when he said that. He didn’t know his past at all. The only concept he had of a mother was through Mirror God’s mother.

“Yes. They are in the lab. Do you want me to bring you to meet them?” No. 2 told Han Fei to change direction. After Han Fei left the corridor, he saw the bedroom with the number 0.

“All of you are numbered, right? How is the number decided?” Han Fei asked the question that had been troubling him.

“Perhaps it’s our useable value.” No. 2 led Han Fei underground. After opening a locked door, there came a growling sound. It didn’t seem like it could be produced by humans. “My parents are inside. They were once the best researchers, but on the way to pursue immortality, they became fearsome monsters.”

Something slammed against the metallic change. Han Fei turned to look. The orphanage underground was basically rows of prisons. They were many captives.

“Technology, heavy machinery, illness, war, these things appear unrelated, but they will affect and impact each other during times of chaos.” No. 2 touched the metallic door beside him. There was no emotion on his face. “They are my parents. At least my family is here even though they can’t recognize me anymore.”

Han Fei looked through the window in the door. A pair of young man and woman was tied to the bed. Their skins were cracked, and their bodies kept molting.

“Immortal Pharma sure has many secrets.” Han Fei looked at the other prison cells and only saw darkness.

“Come. It’s time for us to return.” Suddenly, the siren underground rang. All the buildings rippled like they were twisted by some force. An inky shadow crawled out of the corner to form a strange person. His body was pieced together from different body parts. There was an indescribable strangeness about him, but his eyes were very special and beautiful. They could see the end of the universe and could suck one in.

“The director is here. There’s only one place we can go to hide from him.” No. 2 didn’t panic. He was still smiling.

“The director in your memory is the False God in mind. To push the False God down the pedestal, then we need the real God.” Han Fei could guess No. 2’s meaning. He pushed the wheelchair and rushed to No. 0’s room.

“The only person who can help me is myself.” The director chased after them. Han Fei ran as fast as he could. He only had one chance. If he slowed down, he would be captured. “This is it!” Han Fei held the door to Room 0. He might see Mad Laughter became he lost his mind. He pushed the door open. His blood boiled. Han Fei opened his eyes and noticed that he had exited No. 2’s memory. He was standing in a room made from children’s dead bodies. The dead bodies were pieced together like puzzles. In the middle was something that looked like amber. Han Fei was reaching toward the pounding amber. Mad Laughter had used everything to reach the Taboo’s heart. Now, it was Han Fei’s time to make a choice.

“Give me the boy’s brain, and I can fulfill one of your wishes.” A strange man’s voice echoed in Han Fei’s mind. The presence of an Unmentionable suffocated his memories. “If you don’t let go, I will kill everyone related to you and trap you in this building forever. I’ll have endless ghosts torture your body and soul!”

With each of the man’s words, the blood on the 25th floor thickened. Han Fei felt like his brain was about to tear apart.

“Release your hands. Do not touch my Taboo!”

Han Fei’s expression changed. He was afraid. His pupils trembled, and his soul curled up. Before God, he was a dog.

“Can you really fulfill my wish?” Han Fei didn’t wish to go against God… or so it appeared. Suddenly, an exaggerated smile appeared on his face. “My wish is to bring his brain away with me.”

His fingers closed around the amber. Han Fei pulled. A bloody shadow stood behind him. Both of them were determined. Neither wanted to let go. The blood capillaries snapped. The amber was yanked out of the children\'s carcasses!

Everything that could produce light on the 25th floor shattered. A scratch mark appeared on God’s eyes.
