God's Gift

Everything happened in just a moment. Before the people standing aside could react, the monster had already rushed out of the prison room, and its huge claws grabbed towards Yu Youyou.

"Yu Youyou!" Ye Li opened her eyes wide and ran towards Yu Youyou, but the monster's movements were much faster than hers.

Yu Youyou stared at the monster that was rushing towards her. Before its claws were about to touch her, she reached out and grabbed the hair at the monster's feet. She kicked the ground with one foot, jumped over the monster, and knocked it to the ground.

Ye Li and Shen Minghua quickly took over, holding down the monster's hands on the left and right.

Fang Ziang followed and looked at Yu Youyou who was sitting astride the monster and Shen Minghua and Ye Li who were pinned on both sides, then looked at the monster's head with fangs and drooling saliva. He swallowed, stepped forward and grabbed the monster's head with his hands and feet.

"Zhang, Zhang Qingfeng, right? Don't get excited, calm down... We can't eat it..." He kept muttering while holding the monster tightly.

Yu Youyou sat on the monster, suppressing its struggles, staring straight into the monster's eyes.

The monster looked into Yu Youyou's eyes, but the deep sea and a huge fish were reflected in his eyes.

The air gradually became more fishy and salty. At a latitude that Ye Li and the others could not see, the dark blue sea water flooded the room with incandescent lights. A huge fish floated above Yu Youyou, maintaining the same movement as Yu Youyou, and its eyes like searchlights stared straight at the monster.

The monster gradually stopped struggling and became quiet.

"You, have you calmed down?" Fang Ziang asked fearfully as he watched the monster slowly close his eyes.

Yu Youyou then raised her head, stood up from the monster, clapped her hands, and let out a long sigh, "He seems to have fallen asleep."

"Really?" Fang Ziang patted the monster with his hand and found that the monster was indeed lying there motionless.

Shen Minghua and Ye Li also saw Fang Ziang's actions, but they did not dare to let go easily and continued to suppress the monster.

"Youyou reacts quickly." Ye Li thought about the thrilling scene just now, his heart still beating fast.

"I caught too many fish." Yu Youyou grinned and answered without hesitation.

Ye Li nodded, looking at the monster on the ground, then he came to his senses, took a breath, and said: "He was taken away by Blue Dragon five years ago. This incident caused a sensation in the Yahu District, but it was quickly suppressed by Blue Dragon."

Shen Minghua was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked out the door, opened the door of the next room, and saw the monster that was also imprisoned in that room.

Ye Li followed and saw the name tag belonging to the monster. It was still the person who was taken away in Area E.

"There are only two possibilities now. One is that these people were brought to this factory by the blue dragon and turned into monsters through experiments."

Shen Minghua clenched his hands, looked at Ye Li, who was pale, and continued:

"Second, they had already been transformed when they were taken away by the blue dragon."

"But if the blue dragon needs to create a monster, it can just choose some low-level personnel. They have the ability to make those people disappear quietly."

"But they went to so much trouble to monitor Area E. Among the people they took away were some people without psychic powers who had status in Area E..."

Ye Li stared blankly at the monster in the glass, his face drained of all color, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mutations not only happen to animals, but also to humans."

Her parents...

Yu Youyou walked to Ye Li's side, and stared at the tears flashing in Ye Li's eyes motionlessly. Her clear eyes were as pure as water, without any impurities, yet also as clean as water without any emotion.

She calmly looked at the tears dripping down Ye Li's face, but she could not feel the meaning of those tears.

Just like when Mom left, Dad took her to the wooden board above the sea.

At that time, Yu Youyou held Bubu in her mouth and put it in her mother's hands as usual, wagging her tail expectantly and said to her mother in a crisp voice:

"Mom, play!"

But this time, Dad did not allow Mom to throw Bubu far away and ask Yu Youyou to pick it up as she did before. He put Bubu away and did not agree to Yu Youyou's request to play.

Yu Youyou looked at Bubu in her father's arms and wagged her tail less frequently, trying to act coquettishly to her mother like she used to.

But mother was full of wrinkles and white hair. She was lying in father's arms. She could only barely raise her hand to touch Yu Youyou's eyes, staring at Yu Youyou with her dim eyes.

"Youyou, mom is leaving and can't play with you anymore."

Yu Youyou looked at her tiny mother on the wooden board, tilted her head in confusion, and asked, "Where is mom going?"

After the woman finished speaking, she had to rest for a few seconds. She smiled slightly, patted Yu Youyou's head gently, and said, "Mom is tired. She needs to go to a very far place to rest. Youyou will have to spend the rest of your life by yourself."

Yu Youyou sank into the water, snorted in disappointment, and then looked at her mother who was so tired that her eyes were about to close. She rolled her eyes, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Then mom should have a good rest!"

The man sitting on the wooden board held the woman quietly. Unlike his usual happy look, he looked at the woman in his arms without saying a word.

The woman looked at him, then at Yu Youyou on the sea, slowly smiled, took Bubu from the man, raised her hand with difficulty and threw it far away, saying, "Go play, Youyou."

Yu Youyou excitedly created a wave, turned around and cheered to pick up the Bubu on the sea.

The orange sunset fell to the horizon, dyeing the clouds in the sky red. Schools of fish leaped from the sea, splashing waves.

Yu Youyou quickly picked up Bubu, turned around happily, and swam to the edge of the wooden board, only to see her mother with her eyes closed.

Yu Youyou held Bubu in her mouth, looking at the woman on the wooden board, thinking about her saying she wanted to leave. Yu Youyou tilted her head and thought for a while, then nudged the woman's hand with her mouth and asked expectantly:

"Mom, when will we meet again?"

But this time the woman did not respond to her as usual. She was sleeping quietly, and the cool sea breeze brushed her gray hair.

"Is mom asleep?" Yu Youyou, holding Bubu in her mouth, stared blankly at her quiet mother, then looked at her father beside her and asked curiously.

The man's temples were also gray at this time. He gently stroked the woman's hair without answering.

The setting sun gradually sank into the sea, the last ray of sunlight was taken away, and the figures of the man and the woman gradually became blurred, disappearing on the wooden board like a wisp of wind.

Yu Youyou stared blankly at the two people disappearing on the sea, tears falling from her eyes. She couldn't understand why they suddenly disappeared.

A blue spot of light fell where the man left and landed on Yu Youyou.

When night fell, the golden stars dyed the entire night sky azure. Yu Youyou was still floating in the sea, looking at the bare wooden board. She raised her fins and patted the board, trying to find her missing parents.

But they did not hide in the cracks between the boards, nor did they hide in the sea water.

They disappeared in the night like the setting sun.

But they did not rise again like the sun.
