Chapter 192: Chapter 192

Director Cao had thought that by saving Yi Chen’s life, confessing his true identity, and offering enough tenderness, he could completely transform his personality and make him willing to stay in the Orphanage forever and inherit his mantle.

Yi Chen lying in bed at night, far from being moved in the slightest, was closed his eyes and replaying the night’s escape in his mind, re-analyzing the structure of the high wall outside the Orphanage, and planning his fourth escape.

Every time he thought of the ‘ingredient’ from Director Cao mixed within him, Yi Chen would vomit incessantly.

The memories continue

Memories related to the “Fourth Escape” were being unearthed once more,

The depth at which this memory was hidden was even greater than that of the “true identity” issue, being a memory directly related to the hidden ‘Death Attribute’ and locked deep in Yi Chen’s brain.

Even the Old World merchant – Duke Garrixon could not dig out this memory,

Currently, Yi Chen’s body, contained within the Duke’s fleshly cavities, had his pores slightly open, and wisps of black thread-like material, representing Death, began to ooze out.

Four fully armed soldiers were all killed by you in an instant; how could I possibly pose a threat to you with a gun in my hand.

I lost~ I didn’t expect the Orphanage to be built in such a remote place.

The sounds of horns and passersby I occasionally heard through the window, they were all prerecorded, weren’t they? The outside scenes I occasionally glimpsed through the small window, those were deliberately set holographic images outside the window, right?

I’m not as skilled, I’ll take the loss.”

The muzzle instantly turned 180 degrees and he pulled the trigger.

Even if Director Cao reacted as quickly as possible, she couldn’t prevent this act.

The spiraling bullet penetrated his skull, carrying pink brain matter as it burst through the back of the head.

Hands open, he fell backwards to the ground.

A self-mocking smile remained on his face.

The purpose of Yi Chen’s seizure of the gun from the control room was never to confront adversity, but merely to leave himself an ‘escape route’.

Director Cao’s scream echoed in the desolate area.

The Duke, upon witnessing this scene, let go of a massive amount of snacks. Even It hadn’t expected Yi Chen to actually die; according to the memory’s background setting, revival was simply impossible.

The memory images continued to play,

but the footage changed from color to black and white, and was accompanied by frame skipping and signal interference.

Director Cao didn’t give up, she grew appendages similar to centipedes and erupted with speed even faster than a car, sprinting toward the Orphanage.

Unfortunately, the journey still took six minutes, and a vast number of brain cells had already died, not to mention the bullet had pierced the brain, leaving even the most skilled doctor in the Orphanage powerless.

Director Cao administered various self-developed cardiac and brain injections to Yi Chen, still without any response.

Yi Chen was placed on a special trolley, or rather, a trolley that only carried bodies.

Director Cao couldn’t accept this and pointed at the body cart, cursing frantically, yet her voice couldn’t penetrate the black and white footage, gradually fading away.

The footage slowly narrowed down to the body disposal staff, and every now and then the Peeping Tom—Teacher Fang—appeared in the corner; one could see Fang Qiong’s eyes brimming with tears and the streaks on her cheeks through the intermittently frozen frames.

The body output of the Orphanage was astonishing; if they planned a cemetery, in just over a decade, this uninhabited zone would turn into a zone with ‘residents’.

Therefore, beneath the Orphanage there was a deep pit specifically for stacking bodies, and a large incineration would be carried out once a month.

It was now the twentieth of the month, and the pit had already accumulated a considerable number of bodies, most of which were no longer in human shape, shattered.

Yi Chen’s body, with its head blown open, was the most intact.

The cart was tilted, and the body just happened to fall on the very top of the pile of corpses.

Perhaps because of Yi Chen’s death, Director Cao’s mood had greatly changed in recent times. She slaughtered extensively within the Orphanage, and her experiments adopted the most dangerous, highest-dose forced modes, with the number of deceased increasing to three to four times that of an average day.

Time quickly arrived at the end of the month, and the pit was completely filled up.

Strangely enough, the corpse of Yi Chen was still sitting on top.

At the moment the staff turned the valve ready to start the large-scale incineration, owing to the excess of bodies, the top sealing could not shut, forcing them to move the corpses at the very top out for a second incineration later on.

As a result, the one on the top, Yi Chen, was temporarily removed.

The staff didn’t notice that the other bodies deep in the pit all had varying degrees of a drained appearance.

During the wait for the big burn, the staff couldn’t help glancing a few times at Yi Chen’s well-preserved, barely-rotted youthful body, contemplating in their mind.

The next week he had a chance to leave the Orphanage, take a ride to the city to collect goods.

And his family was in the funeral business; he was well aware that such a young, handsome and well-preserved body could fetch a high price, so he secretly preserved the body.

He even applied “Dead Man Makeup” in advance—white foundation with red lips, using a special white paint to ensure the freshness of the body, covering up the gunshot hole on the head, and attaching a label that said [Corpse Specimen].

Thus, Yi Chen’s body, as a [Specimen], was legitimately loaded onto the freight truck and headed toward the city.

When the truck arrived at its destination and the rear doors were opened, they found that the body was gone.
