"Grandpa Edward likes the painting in the study very much. In fact, I like it very much too.
However, don't you think that...
The back of that little boy is actually somewhat similar to yours? "
...
Su Bai recalled the time when he was at the Edward Psychology Institute in London. That Lolita, no, that damned brain had pretended to be a Lolita and said this to him.
She knew him because when she took revenge on him, she had said that the pain she had suffered at the hands of her father would now be returned to him as a son.
Therefore, that brain, or rather, that "she", had something to do with my father, and it was a very, very deep connection. Otherwise, my father would not have kept that woman's brain alive and sent it to the London Institute of Psychology as a research subject for decades.
Although Su Bai was unwilling to admit it, his parents often acted strangely when he was young, and the wealth that his family had deliberately arranged for him, coupled with the matter of the Edward Research Institute and the strange accident of his parents...
His cheap parents must have had some secret back then.
In addition... Lychee's attitude towards him when he was still around, Lychee said that it was because his mother had sponsored an orphanage, and Lychee was one of them. This explanation had never been believed by Su Bai.
"Hehe, do you have to be so cliché?" Su Bai muttered to himself. At this time, seeing that it was most likely his father's work in this painting made Su Bai sigh in his heart. He did not have the urge to continue exploring.
He even felt a little dispirited.
In fact, the investigation of the Edward Research Institute that Su Bai had arranged before entering the previous story world had already come to a conclusion. The abilities of the various senior investigation teams and private detectives were unquestionable. After all, you get what you pay for.
Su Bai had received the notice after returning to the real world, but the report had been locked in the safe at home by Su Bai. Su Bai had not opened it himself.
The reason was simple and even ridiculous. Different from the cliché of various bitter TV dramas, as an orphan, Su Bai's desire to explore his parents was not strong. It was more of an instinct or a sense of moral restraint.
Since he was very young, Su Bai had been used to sitting alone in front of a large table, quietly eating a table full of exquisite dishes made for him by a servant. This kind of lifestyle...
Lasted for ten years.
His mother paid great attention to etiquette. She was like an elegant woman living in the era of the Republic of China, as if she was a modern Lin Huiyin.
Therefore, Su Bai had been instilled with this etiquette since he was very young and had developed this habit. It was not as cumbersome as Western etiquette, but it was still meticulous.
Every time he ate, there would be two sets of tableware on the table that belonged to his parents.
Therefore, for Su Bai, every time he ate in those ten years, it was a kind of torture for him. Especially when his parents left, he was still a child less than seven years old. However, at that time, he stubbornly and foolishly maintained the appearance that his parents were still living with him.
For ten years, he had to experience the torture of this thought every day. The yearning for his parents and the various influences of family ethics filled this world. The corners of this society stimulated Su Bai all the time.
It was not until Su Bai decided to leave the old house and go to school alone that he finally got rid of the cage he had set for himself. However, after that, Su Bai suddenly discovered one thing. That was, his character had been forcibly distorted by himself for ten years.
The long-term repressive environment, the long-term meticulousness, and the long-term suffocating atmosphere had stimulated a strong rebellious mentality in Su Bai's heart.
A kind of...
The urge to overturn everything...
Over the past ten years, it had quietly seeped into his bones.
Therefore, apart from giving him the wealth to live a carefree life, his parents actually didn't fulfill their responsibilities as parents. At least in the current China, there weren't many parents who would let their children starve to death due to their lack of ability.
Even the wealth that his parents had left him..,
Hehe..,
With this thought..,
The corner of Su Bai's mouth revealed an intriguing smile
Before leaving Qinhuangdao, Qin Yang had said something like that to Su Bai. He was worried that if he used the ability he had obtained from the terror broadcast to earn money, it would eventually be retribution on his family.
Then, the reason why Su Bai himself entered this terror broadcast, did it mean...
"Sir, the plane is about to land. Please fasten your seat belt," a flight attendant came to Su Bai's side and said. At the same time, she also interrupted Su Bai's thoughts.
"Okay, thank you."
After getting off the plane, Su Bai was carrying his backpack and walking towards the airport parking lot when his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID was Xun Er.
A stone in Su Bai's heart dropped. She came out alive. Yes, as an experiencer, the chances of survival were very high. As long as she behaved herself and didn't be so stupid, it would be fine.
He pressed the answer button, but the other end of the phone remained silent. Su Bai also remained silent.
About a minute later..,
A voice came from the other end:
"Su Bai, did you experience that too?"
Xun Er's voice did not carry much emotion. It was impossible to tell if she was afraid or panicking.
"Okay." Su Bai responded and waved for a taxi at the same time.
"You're not a good friend." Xun Er suddenly said, "You didn't even tell me about such a fun place before. You were playing alone in secret."
"Even if I told others about this kind of thing, they wouldn't believe me. Besides, it's not something you can tell others at will. You will understand these things in the future."
Xun Er's reaction and mood were within Su Bai's expectations. When the four people formed the Killing Club, Su Bai did it because he was mentally ill and homicidal. Chu Zhao did it because he had a rebellious mentality towards his family. Gu Fan did it because he wanted to pursue Xun Er, and Xun Er...
It was purely for excitement.
She seemed to have a kind of oriental beauty, but she was a military officer stationed abroad. In addition, she was a runner on the road of extreme pursuit of sensory stimulation.
Maybe it was the same as him. The world of horror broadcasts was a great torture for others, but for him and Xun Er, in the real world, there was no meaning and need to struggle. He didn't have to worry about money, and Xun Er, as a woman, didn't have much ambition for power and a high position.
Therefore, perhaps through the broadcast of terror, he could find another meaning of life.
Su Bai knew that Xun Er was interested in him, but he always treated Xun Er as a friend. It was not because of Gu Fan. In fact, Su Bai was not the kind of pedantic man who would push the woman he liked to his buddy for the sake of friendship. However, he really didn't want to be Xun Er's lover.
"Where are you now?" Xun Er asked.
"I just got off the plane and am going home."
"Shall I pick you up?"
"No, I'll take a taxi back."
"You are really strange. You don't look so rich."
"Money doesn't make much sense now. Well, I'm getting in the car. You can go to my house later. Now we are in the same boat, and we need to communicate."
"No, I have something to do today. How about tomorrow?" Xun Er thought about it and refused Su Bai's invitation. She just called Chu Zhao, but no one answered. Then she called Chu Zhao's parents and told them that Chu Zhao was traveling.
Su Bai didn't know that Chu Zhao immediately listened to the terror broadcast after the phone call with him.
"It's up to you." Su Bai hung up the phone and then put one hand on the window of the taxi.
About 20 minutes later, the taxi arrived at Su Bai's home. After getting out of the car, Su Bai swiped the access card, opened the door, and walked in.
At this time, the little fellow was playing happily on the carpet under the care of Lucky. Ultraman was playing on the TV, and the ground was full of toys.
Seeing that Su Bai was back, the little fellow was stunned, and then she grinned and climbed directly to Su Bai.
Su Bai also threw the backpack to Lucky, and then took the initiative to walk over. He lifted the little fellow and turned her around a few times.
Perhaps, the only thing he was reluctant to part with now was the chubby little girl in his hands.
"PaPa... PaPa..."
"Hehe, son."
Hearing the little fellow call him PaPa, Su Bai suddenly thought of something. If he continued to enjoy the property left behind by his parents, would it also bring karma to the little fellow?
Lucky held Su Bai's backpack in its mouth and walked to the corner of the living room. However, it still looked over from time to time. It really didn't trust Su Bai, as a father, to take care of the child.
"Come, it's time to give you a name." On a whim, Su Bai carried the little fellow to a cupboard in the living room. There were some decorative books there. Su Bai took out a Xinhua dictionary and placed it in front of the little fellow. "Look through it yourself."
The little fellow bit his finger, then nodded and turned over his chubby hand.
When Su Bai saw that the first word on the page was "Zhao", he immediately shook his head. The little fellow had to follow his surname "Su".
The little fellow was addicted to flipping through it. He turned it again, and the word "Tie" appeared, followed by the word "Zhu".
Zhao Tiezhu?
Or..,
Su Tiezhu?
Su Bai gave up on the idea of letting the little fellow continue to flip through the dictionary to find a name for himself. If he were to find another Su Weiguo, Su Jianshe, or Su Ba, that would be a headache.
"Forget it, son. Tomorrow, your father will take you to the temple to ask for a good name."
Su Bai kissed the little guy's pink face. He had not shaved for a long time, and his stubble tickled the little guy so much that it giggled.
However, Su Bai's heart suddenly became heavy,
Tomorrow..,
How many tomorrows do I have?
