Chapter 72: Ye Tian

Ye Cang saw that she had become unstable, and disappeared. Eve immediately felt her psychokinesis being cut off, and became shocked. She felt her throat contract.

Wu Na, Lin Le, and Zhang ZhengXiong suddenly felt their bodies were freed.

Zhang ZhengXiong immediately rushed in front of the other two and protected them behind him, releasing his first genetic lock. The three meter tall, muscular giant appeared, but different from last time, his huge ape like hands were covered in a metallic gloss. His two red eyes looked at Ye Cang whose hand was on Eve’s slender throat and had pushed her onto the ground, slowly using more and more strength. His expression was full of sorrow.

Lin Le was full of questions as he patted his chest. Wu Na and Zhang ZhengXiong knew from their conversation. It turned out that Ye Cang and that little girl were both artifical humans.

The little girl knew she wouldn’t survive. Perhaps she already knew this would happen when she arrived. She looked at Ye Cang’s pupils full of sorrow. Why did he feel so sad? Who made him feel so sad? Her? She thought back to the day she was created, all she had was a serial code: Eve-C-19325. She was born just to be an experimental subject. The whole journey over, she saw those fathers and daughters looking so happy with their family. Now she looked at Ye Cang’s heartbroken expression. Yeah, that was only something humans have, and she was just an experimental subject, not a human. She showed a sad smile, her tears slowly dripping down her face. “Kil me… father.”

Ye Cang’s heart trembled as he saw her expression. He wanted to crush her neck but his hand wouldn’t move. He looked at his hands that had slain countless people, even she was she was ended by these hands. He couldn’t stop shivering and he also put his other hand on her neck. He recalled the tragic appearance of all those countless children in those disposal holes, and thought of that woman’s final words. Don’t grow up to hate, survive and live well. He recalled how he was picked up by the river and meticulously raised by his grandmother. Those warm and wrinkled hands. He recalled QinXue’s and A’Xiong’s bright smiles, Lele’s foolish appearance, as well as Nana’s consideration. Recalling these things, his confusion was swept away and tears began falling from his eyes, dripping onto Eve’s face. He ground his teeth and said: “Just how many tragedies do they want to create… before they realise…”

Eve felt the warmth of the tears, and saw Ye Cang who was grinding his teeth and crying bitterly. She slowly reached out her hand and wiped the tears from his eyes. “Father…”

Ye Cang looked at that little hand wiping away his tears and he slowly released his grip. He suddenly hugged her tightly against his chest and said in a trembling voice. “We’re also human! We have feelings and likes and dislikes. We’re not those sorrowful existences they think we are. Definitely not!!”

“Bro, so this was what you never wanted to tell me…” Zhang ZhengXiong murmured. Wu Na was shocked, but at the same time, she felt sorrow as she watched at Ye Cang crying bitterly. This was the first time she’d seen him cry. She listened to his trembling words and her eyes became watery.

“Brother Lil’White…” Lin Le’s ahoge drooped as he felt dejected.

Eve, for the first time since she was born, felt warmth bubble up from her heart. Her father’s hug was so warm. Why did her tears not stop? So strange, there was too much she didn’t understand. Suddenly a resonance occurred in her head, and Ye Cang’s memories flashed through her mind. She saw the granny who had raised him die on the hospital bed. On a rainy night in the middle of a bloody street, he held a girl whose head was smashed apart, and cried bitterly. His hopeless expression as he lived like an empty shell. Seeing these scenes, her tears poured out uncontrollably like a broken faucet. She absentmindedly looked at Ye Cang’s face. She was so frail compared to her father. He had so many sorrowful experiences and bitter setbacks, yet he still stood up and moved on, continuing to look for the meaning of his existence. Yet she merely denied her existence. Ashamed, touched, sympathy, happiness, so many feelings flooded her mind. Eve couldn’t handle it and like a normal little girl, started bawling her eyes out, her arms wrapped tightly around Ye Cang. “Waaah~! Waah~!”
