Chapter 158 Why not let him go free?
When Luo Shiyu was praising He Gui, he caught a glimpse of the expressions of others out of the corner of his eye.
【Why is your expression so scary? 】
Turning back out of curiosity, I saw the leader with a ghost floating beside him, whose hair was burnt off, skin was dried, and the whole body was on fire.
[Is this guy a ghost tamer? No wonder he's so arrogant.]
The dean ordered them to leave, saying, "Your goal has been achieved. Leave now! Don't scare these children. We won't call the police."
Luo Shiyu put one hand on his waist and stood in front of them, saying, "Yes, let's go!"
"Why should I believe you? Only the dead can shut up forever!"
The leader gave his ghost an order: "Flame Collapse! Let the flames take away all evidence and burn this place to ashes! Hahahaha!"
"Mad man! There are only women and children here!"
Obviously, that person couldn't hear what Luo Shiyu said.
The dean didn't hesitate. He used his body to protect He Gui, the youngest child, and said to him, "You must survive! Even though I'm half buried in the ground, I can at least save one of you."
At this time, He Gui still didn't understand what she said, and just coaxed her in a childish voice: "Dean, don't be afraid."
"Good boy, I'm not afraid."
A huge fireball hit them.
"He Gui!" Luo Shiyu shouted, wanting to protect them, but he was powerless.
He Gui's originally black eyes were filled with flames. When he was about to be hit, his eyes were covered with a layer of blue, covering up the flames.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the ice quickly spread around with He Gui as the center.
The sixth city instantly became an ice city.
He Gui was shivering from the cold and exhaled cold air, but the color of his eyes did not return to its original black.
Because of the cold, I subconsciously hugged the dean beside me, only to find that she had turned into an ice sculpture.
He Gui's eyes, as blue as the sea, were filled with fear. He gently patted Bing Diao's arm and called out, "Dean?"
After not getting a response, he still didn't give up. He climbed out of her arms and went to pat the other children who had turned into ice sculptures.
"Rustle?"
"lightly?"
"Brother Yang!"
"Why are you...ignoring me?"
He Gui ran out from the gap that was blown open by those people and called for help: "Is there anyone who can help? Save them!"
As he ran, the picture moved with him, and no one in the whole city could respond to his cry for help.
Luo Shiyu looked at him with heartache.
[The ice cube just wanted to save the people in the orphanage, but because he couldn't control his power, he turned this place into an ice city.]
This time he finally said it without any hesitation: "You are not wrong."
The picture kept moving, and he didn't know how long He Gui's small body had been running here in the extreme cold.
All he knew was that what He Gui was waiting for was not the salvation of the people here, but a cage dropped from a helicopter.
The helicopter, carrying the cage, flew to the sky prison.
He didn't care at all about He Gui who was curled up in the cage and almost frozen to death.
This made Luo Shiyu extremely distressed, but he was powerless to do anything.
When they arrived at the sky prison, the guards put He Gui in a larger "cage".
The young boy didn't know what he had done wrong or why he was arrested. He only knew that those people said he was dangerous.
He huddled in a corner, naked, and even the food he was given daily would turn into ice sculptures if it touched him.
〖So cold… so hungry…〗
Luo Shiyu was stunned for a moment and looked at He Gui who didn't say anything.
[Could it be that? What I just heard was the inner voice of the big ice block in the illusion?]
Luo Shiyu squatted down and couldn't help but say, "Poor child."
He saw something and said nonchalantly, "It's so small! You are not..."
When he felt something was wrong, he immediately looked away.
What am I doing to a child?
After turning food into ice sculptures several times in a row, the guards realized that he could not eat ordinary food.
From then on, his three meals a day changed from ordinary food to nutritional balls with specially processed appearance.
They opened a small window at a time and dropped a marble-sized ball into it, just like feeding a pet.
Luo Shiyu just looked at...
Watch He Gui crawl over and pick up the bead.
He didn't dare to chew it at all and swallowed it with difficulty.
Only the outer skin of the nutrient ball was processed, and that outer skin was digested in his stomach.
I had severe abdominal pain every time.
I could only watch him curled up, holding his stomach and shivering.
Just like this, day after day, year after year.
As he grew older, his intake increased from one pill per meal to ten pills per meal.
Lian Hegui himself began to feel confused.
Why should I live at all?
It was probably just because the dean said to him: "You must survive!"
One day, in addition to the nutrient balls thrown into that window, there was also a set of clothes.
The guard who threw the clothes in said disdainfully, "You're not a kid anymore, mind your image."
When He Gui touched the clothing, he froze instantly and picked it up.
It shattered with a "bang!"
"Tsk! What a monster!"
He Gui looked at the man through the window and asked in confusion, "Monster?"
"Look at what you look like now, don't you look like a monster? A monster that freezes everything."
Am I a monster?
He Gui looked at the thick layer of ice inside the cage and began to agree with what he said.
〖So I am a monster...〗
Luo Shiyu was so distressed that he cried and shouted across the air: "You are not! Don't say that about yourself, you are not!"
He Gui exhaled a breath of cold air, looked at his hands, and began to ask himself.
What am I living for?
"So hungry... so cold... so miserable... I wish I could die."
He Gui spent year after year in this state, neither dying of hunger nor freezing to death, nor dying of pain.
Until one day, he overheard the conversation between the guards outside.
"I heard that those crazy people in the Skylab want this little monster as a test subject?"
"Give it to them quickly! I'm afraid this little monster will escape and freeze me."
"Will you die from doing experiments? Come and set me free."
The day after the two men talked, a man in a suit and tie, followed by a group of people, came to the cage where he was held.
He Gui curled up in the corner and looked at the man in the lead. His blue eyes were like a dead sea, without any hope of life.
In the man's eyes, a child who was extremely thin, naked, curled up in the corner of the room covered with thick ice, breathing cold air from his mouth and shivering.
Fu Hua felt sorry for the child in front of him and asked the laboratory personnel who followed him to take off the protective clothing that isolated the soul power.
He opened the prison door, walked in, and wrapped the clothes around He Gui.
He squatted down, and the first thing he said to He Gui was: "My child, you must have suffered a lot, right?"
He Gui just looked at him without saying anything.
The prison guards told Fu Hua: "He has been imprisoned here for more than ten years. He has probably lost the ability to communicate with others."
Fu Hua didn't listen to the man and continued to ask He Gui: "Are you willing to leave this cage with me? Come and be my general! How about it?"
He Gui shrank back and shook his head.
"Why did you reject me?"
He Gui replied in a low voice: "It will be...frozen."
"It's okay. Look at the clothes you're wearing. Isn't it okay?"
He Gui touched the clothes with his hand and found that it was indeed fine.
〖Can I actually...touch?〗
Fu Hua asked him again: "Now, are you willing to leave with me?"
He Gui hesitated and didn't give him an answer.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong. I'm currently the strongest man in the East. You can't hurt me."
He Gui stared into his eyes for a long time before nodding slightly.
Fu Hua extended his hand to him and said, "Welcome to the military family. My name is Fu Hua, and I am the current commander of the Eastern Division."
He Gui looked at his hand but didn't hold it.
Fu Hua slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! Look at my memory. I'll just make you a pair of gloves later."
The researchers behind Fu Hua were confused and asked, "Why go to such great lengths to keep him? If he were to conduct research, it would bring about a huge breakthrough for humanity."
Fu Hua smiled and said, "He's not an experimental subject, nor a pet, he's a living person. Since we've developed clothing that can isolate soul power, why not wear it on this child and let him be free?"
