Judging from the video footage, our plan was successful.
"As long as you appease him, make him obey you, and trust you."
Then we can get him to cooperate with us and use him for our purposes.
At this point, the man paused, his voice turning icy: "But this is also the last chance the organization can give him."
"If you still can't tame him after a year, we will activate the device to destroy him."
"After all, rather than wasting time on a dangerous element that we can't use, we'd rather improve upon the original method and create a more obedient pawn."
“We have partnerships with orphanages. After the Qinnan earthquake, many children were left homeless, and they will soon be sent over as the next batch of test subjects.”
Yu Tang stared wide-eyed at the man in disbelief.
Is this something a human being would say?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The man frowned. "Didn't you swear an oath to serve the organization when you came here?"
"Have you changed your mind?" As he spoke, the man raised his hand and pressed a few times on his wristwatch, and Yu Tang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
He knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted to the system in his mind: System, activate pain relief!
【well!】
The system didn't dare to be negligent, and only after it was fully activated did Yu Tang feel a little better.
He pretended to be in pain, clutching his head and curling up on the ground, crying out and begging for mercy: "No, that's enough... that's enough..."
Only after hearing him beg for mercy did the man stop, saying, "Don't forget, your life is in my hands. If you dare to betray the organization, there's only one outcome: death!"
Good grief, where did this delusional old man come from?
Yu Tang mentally complained, then got up after a moment on the ground and said, "I-I know."
He steadied himself, his face pale, and asked, "But since it's been decided that I'll be the one to tame Cheng Luo, could you grant me some special privileges?"
"What privileges?"
Yu Tang made a request: "I need to be allowed to bring some things into the room where he is being held."
"And if it can be confirmed that he will be loyal to the organization in the future, I hope you will allow me to take him out for a walk."
He added, "I think this will make it easier for him to adapt to the organization and accept it better."
"What if you can't control him?"
“The explosives on his neck aren’t just for show; they should be able to restrain him. And…” Yu Tang looked up, gazing intently into the man’s eyes, “If I can’t control him, then you can kill me at any time.”
He said, "I'm human too, and I'm afraid of dying. You should understand that I would never joke about my own life."
Emerging from the main control room, Yu Tang's feigned respect vanished completely. His brows furrowed, and he mentally tore these base executives to pieces seven or eight hundred times.
He had a chip implanted in his brain, making him subject to the organization's control in every way. Once he disobeyed orders, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
But at least the group of people were temporarily fooled by his words and were still willing to give him this privilege.
This made it easier for him to take care of Cheng Luo.
Suppressing her anger, Yu Tang first went to find Zhang Zhe, packed up quilts, pillows, and mattresses, and also took a large box of colored pencils and drawing paper before carrying the large bundle to the place where Cheng Luo was being held.
Passing by the female researcher's desk, I saw a bag of fruit candies.
A blurry image suddenly flashed through my mind.
He seemed to remember someone who loved eating sweets.
Who was it again?
He couldn't remember for a long time, but he still asked the female researcher for a few pieces and put them in his pocket.
He thought that Cheng Luo was childlike and might like to eat this kind of thing.
It's never a bad thing to have some on hand.
Chapter 6
Died for the villain for the third time (06)
Carrying large and small bags, they unlocked the last metal door, which had just opened.
Yu Tang saw a person sitting in front of the door.
The chain binding Cheng Luo's feet ended right at the door, and he stood there, feet to feet, hands in front of him, staring longingly at the door.
The chain was pulled very tight, stretching into a straight line at the back, but he paid no attention to the pain in his ankles from the chain. He pressed himself against the door and saw Yu Tang the moment the door opened.
For a fleeting moment, her beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining incredibly brightly.
"You're really back?!"
His voice was full of disbelief, and he almost immediately stood up and gave Yu Tang a bear hug.
Yu Tang was knocked off his feet by the huge impact, and all his bags fell to the ground.
Realizing what had happened, he looked utterly helpless.
He hugged Cheng Luo back, habitually ruffling the young man's long, dark hair that hadn't been trimmed in three years: "I said I'd come back, and I won't break my promise. After all, didn't we pinky swear?"
He laughed, "I don't want you to call me a puppy."
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you!" Cheng Luo's voice came from his neck, making Yu Tang feel a little itchy.
He nudged the young man: "I brought you drawing paper and pens, but they've all fallen on the ground. Let go of me first, and I'll show them to you."
"I really brought it!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Luo quickly let go of Yu Tang and obediently stood aside watching Yu Tang squat down to find it for him.
From his angle, one could see Yu Tang's tanned neck peeking out from under his shirt; when he bent over, the curves of his back and waist were very attractive.
And they were completely unprepared for him.
Cheng Luo's eyes darkened, a complex mix of emotions surging within them.
He never expected that Yu Tang would actually bring back everything he wanted.
It seems this man is no ordinary person.
At least he was different from the other researchers he had contacted.
Moreover, he would have strange feelings whenever he was near this man.
This is very likely also part of the base's arrangements.
However... he could sense that Yu Tang had never intended to kill him, unlike others who were afraid he would try to use him again, or who felt they couldn't control him and wanted to kill him.
Therefore, although he couldn't understand Yu Tang.
Yet she didn't dislike Yu Tang.
She was even somewhat looking forward to how this man would treat her next.
"Here you go, take it." Yu Tang packed all the drawing materials into a large bag and stuffed it into Cheng Luo's arms.
Then they closed the metal door, carried in bedding and pillows, and placed them on the carpet.
Cheng Luo composed himself, picked up the large bag, and followed him inside: "What are you doing with all this stuff?"
Yu Tang carefully put the scattered puzzle pieces back into their original box, covered it, and set it aside. She then spread the mattress on the carpet, arranged the soft pillows, and laid out a blanket: "It's cold now, you can't just sleep on a carpet! With these things on, you'll be more comfortable."
Cheng Luo gripped the bag tightly in her hand, her voice muffled: "I don't need to sleep."
He said, "I can go for long periods of time without eating or drinking. I'm not like normal people."
Even if you cut my hand with a knife, the wound will heal quickly. These things you brought are useless... I don't need them..."
Yu Tang froze, remaining kneeling on the bedding, and turned to ask Cheng Luo, "How long has it been since you slept?"
“It’s been two months.” Cheng Luo pointed to the clock in the room: “To be precise, it has been sixty-one days, three hours, fifty-four minutes and twenty-three seconds since I last went to sleep.”
Goodness, this kid could be a human timer!
For a moment, Yu Tang felt both heartache and helplessness.
He spread out the blankets and beckoned to Cheng Luo, "Come sit here."
Cheng Luo put down what she was holding and obediently sat down next to Yu Tang.
The man's unique sweet and sour lemon scent lingered in her nostrils, and Cheng Luo felt a little itchy. Just as she was about to hug him, Yu Tang pulled her down onto the soft bedding.
Cheng Luo was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw Yu Tang's handsome profile. Her dark eyes deepened with doubt.
Beneath them were pillows and mattresses. Yu Tang pulled the blanket up, wrapping the two of them inside, then reached out and covered Cheng Luo's eyes: "Close your eyes, imagine you're in a soft cloud, a warm breeze caressing your face, everything is quiet, you're relaxed, very relaxed..."
For no apparent reason.
As the man's gentle voice swayed in his voice, Cheng Luo felt sleepy for the first time in days.
The bedding beneath him was soft, the pillow was comfortable, and the scent of the person beside him made him feel even more at ease.
Fatigue crept up his body little by little along his nerves, causing his constantly racing brain to unconsciously slow down.
Cheng Luo felt a sudden urge to cry.
But I don't know why I'm crying.
After all, he had already cried all his tears long ago.
He snuggled closer to Yu Tang, shrinking into the man's arms, his voice very low.
"Then after I fall asleep, please don't leave... okay?"
Yu Tang paused for a moment, then hummed in agreement, gently putting one hand around Cheng Luo's back: "Go to sleep, I won't leave."
Cheng Luo then hummed in relief. A couple of seconds later, when she looked at him again, he was curled up and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Yu Tang let him hug her for a while longer before getting up, tucking the blanket around Cheng Luo who was fast asleep, and starting to tidy up the space.
He found the sketch Cheng Luo had drawn for him on the ground, with his name written twice in the lower left corner.
One copy was written by him, and the other was written by Cheng Luo.
Fold it carefully and put it in your pocket.
This is a gift from a little kid, so he has to keep it safe.
Even after putting everything I brought along with the meager amount I already had, the room was still terribly empty.
