Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter30

"Are you trying to persuade me not to requisition Xie Ye's supernatural power?"

"If I told you, would you do that?"

"of course not."

"I knew it, so I don't want to talk nonsense."

The two smiled at each other, and didn't continue to stalk this issue because they knew each other too well.

After a moment of silence, Mori Ogai sighed slightly: "Minara, you have always taken special care of Xie Ye because... In a certain way, she is very similar to you."

Chi Songyuan was taken aback when he heard this.Then he turned his head away and frowned slightly.

Mori Ogai continued: "She, like you, was alone since she was a child, and then was recruited because of her special talent. She was doing things she should love, but she was forced to hate them."

The expression in Chi Songyuan's eyes sank a bit, but he couldn't deny that what the man said was right.

Her parents passed away very early, and she has lived in an orphanage as long as she can remember.

When he was eight years old, a young political figure came to the orphanage to give condolences. This kind of political show is so common that the orphanage even has a professional process for it.

And that day, she really thought it was too boring to complete this process, so she sneaked out of the small team that cooperated with the show on the spot.

The new political star who arrived that day was none other than Mr. Tsushima.

And it was also on that day, without knowing that the other party was the politician who visited today, she shrank aside and hid quietly in front of Mr. Tsushima, who unexpectedly showed a memory far beyond ordinary people, which aroused Tsushima Mr. Attention.

The next day, she was taken for an IQ test, and the results of the test were very satisfactory to those present.And that moment also became a turning point in her fate.

She was taken out of the orphanage and brought into a training institution secretly set up by the government.

There are very few people in this institution, but all of them are so-called gifted children with superior IQs, who have been excavated from all over the country.

The advanced training of these intellectually gifted children is not to contribute talents to this country.Otherwise, there is no need to do it secretly without public knowledge.

After the training is completed, they will be sent to various interest groups according to their needs.And many politicians are also inextricably linked to those organizations and gangs behind the scenes.

To put it bluntly, these geniuses are a group of high-level tool people, and they are pawns in the hands of those top-level social resource controllers who wantonly use them.

Should I say she is lucky or unlucky?

Compared with other children in the orphanage, she was selected because of her innate talent, so she no longer had to live the seemingly hard and mediocre life in the orphanage.

She has obtained excellent material conditions, and has been provided with excellent educational resources, her potential has been developed to the maximum, and the many skills she has mastered give her enough confidence to walk in this world.

At the age of 13, she was sent to Switzerland for further studies to continue to explore a deeper and wider scientific world.

Although she is not a science madman, she is indeed fascinated by the profundity and beauty of science.

But all of this comes at a price, and the price is her freedom.From the moment she was selected into that training institution, she could no longer control her life in her own hands.

Not only was she unable to decide her own path, she was even forced to complete some research projects she resisted, as long as the orders from the higher-ups came down.

In a sense, she has become a person without a future, because her future cannot be controlled by her.

After entering that institution, during the years of training in Japan, it was just boring and intensive study day after day. The few joys were probably meeting some interesting mentors occasionally.

For example, Dr. Koji Miyano, who is called a mad scientist by the industry, is actually a meek and nice guy.

In the following seven years in Switzerland, she was actually under surveillance all the time, and every stage of her research was closely monitored by the upper echelons.

Sometimes, some experimental data that made her feel dangerous but priceless, in order not to be discovered, she even had to make up a set of codes and write them down by hand.

As a result, her notebook accidentally fell into the hands of that little bastard Shuji Tsushima.

And that kid actually cracked her code, even though he didn't understand the scientific principles.

But the letter or number represented by each code was inferred by him to be exactly the same.

As smart as he was, he naturally guessed that she didn't want the outside world to know these data.So I used this to blackmail her several crab feasts, huh.

Speaking of which, the two years on Everdark Island were the most free time since she was eight years old.

Although this place seems to be an isolated island in the sea completely isolated from the outside world, it has become a rare and clean place for her, and she no longer has to be a puppet pulled by a string all the time.

Moreover, there is someone like Mori Ogai by his side, so life will not be boring no matter what.

After that, the arrival of Yosano Akiko made her see a kind of contradictory mixture of hope and despair.

Another little girl who was used as a high-level chess piece because of her special talent.

Even this is a talent that can play a subversive role.But it also means more pain.

Even so, she still hopes that this child can have a different future, and find a place that truly accepts her, so that she can use her abilities gently according to her own wishes.

It was as if there was a hope that she had been chasing and had not been able to touch so far on this child.

However, it is meaningless to talk about these now, because...

"I came to you mainly to tell you... I'm leaving here soon, and I received a transfer order from my superiors today."

Chi Songyuan said slowly, so calmly that he didn't seem to be telling the other party that he was leaving.

And this parting is an unknown parting when we meet in the future.

When Mori Ogai heard this, although there was a strange look on his face, it was really just a moment, fleeting.

"Really, when are you leaving?"

The tone is also quite calm, so calm that it doesn't seem like they were discussing and conceiving each other's future blueprint not long ago.

"Three days later..."

……

The next day—

Blood splattered the hallway.

Clutching the stabbed wound on her arm, even the severe pain from the wound made Yosano Akiko unbelievable about what just happened.

A soldier who had completely collapsed held up a dagger and stabbed her, shouting frantically, "It's all because of her! It's all because of her that we can never leave this battlefield!"

Why, why is this...

Obviously, this soldier used to treat her like a brother like other soldiers, he would make good coffee for her, tell her interesting stories, and paint her portraits...

Sure enough, she is a veritable angel of death.

Yosano Akiko was completely frozen in place, with no strength and no desire to resist or run away.

At this time, the suddenly thrown scalpel cut the soldier's hand holding the dagger, and the dagger fell in response.

A few more scalpels struck right after him, hitting several vital points of the soldier's body accurately but not fatally.

Just as the soldier was screaming in pain because of the sudden attack, Gen Akamatsu stepped forward decisively at the right time, and injected the sedative into the soldier's body.

"Are you okay?" Akamatsu Gen turned around and asked Xiang and Yosano Akiko.

She also had some lingering fears, but luckily she ran into this scene.Otherwise, judging by Xie Ye Akiko's state just now, I'm afraid she doesn't intend to resist at all.

Yosano Akiko just shook her head slightly while trembling.Then, as if he felt something was missing from his hair, his fingers fumbled frantically at the top of the hair...

"Hairpin...my hairpin!"

After discovering that the butterfly hairpin was missing, Yosano Akiko got up immediately, but her whole body trembled even more, and she barely squeezed out a smile that could be called painful, and stumbled forward: "The source Doctor, I, I'm going to find my hairpin... yes, I have to get that hairpin back..."

The hairpin, or the person who gave her the hairpin and gave her tenderness and affirmation in return, became the belief that supported her in the end.

……

After dealing with the turmoil in the corridor, Chisongyuan thought about it for a while, but still looked for it worriedly.

When Yosano Akiko finally found Yosano Akiko in the base, the scene in front of him shocked Akamatsu Gento for an instant.

Pushing open the door, I saw Akiko Yosano standing there stiffly, as if her soul had been emptied from her body, she just looked up at the front with empty eyes.

Directly ahead, hung the corpse of a soldier who committed suicide.

It was the soldier who gave Yosano Akiko the butterfly hairpin.

In a scene that was too shocking and sad, Chisongyuan's breathing became uncontrollably rapid for an instant.After regaining consciousness, I saw something dropped on the floor, walked up to it, and picked it up.

It was a small wooden board with orthographic characters engraved on it. Every time Yosano Akiko rescued him, the soldiers would carve a mark on this small wooden board.

With Chi Songyuan's mind, he could count how many straight characters there were on it at a glance, and how many times the soldier had been rescued.

It's just that number, but she couldn't bear to calculate it for a while, not to mention the orthographic characters whose inscriptions became more and more crazy from that moment to the end, which showed how the people who carved the characters were going to collapse step by step.

Turning his head, he saw a piece of paper on the side, on which was written the soldier's last words to Yosano Akiko——

【You are too correct...】

Looking at Yosano Akiko again, I saw this girl who should have been shining in her rose-red eyes, which had always been stubborn and gentle.At this moment, those eyes were empty, with no highlights at all.

Chi Songyuan also had difficulty sorting out how he was feeling at the moment.But one of the feelings clearly pierced her heart.

The string of hope bubbles that she had always wanted to see in this girl finally shattered.

But, before there's nothing left, at last, maybe, there's something she can do...

The night before she left, she leaned into the ear of the little girl who was already numb like an empty shell, and whispered: "Akiko, I don't know how much you can still listen to now. But what I'm going to say next is very important. important……"
