Chapter 567 A Better Person
People's brains tend to beautify past memories unconsciously, and the same is true for number 15. Although she spent most of her time berating and scolding in the past, when she was trying to be perfect, Takuma's occasional tenderness and Appreciation—or what she thought was tenderness and appreciation—occupied a major part of her memory.

Especially after she became an official ninja, she heard and witnessed the experiences of many colleagues before awakening, such as the experience of No. 33, and she felt that her past...seemed to be okay, at least not too bad, right?Even if you are born in an ordinary family, it is not particularly uncommon to have bad parents or elder brothers. People will always find comfort for themselves in the misery.

But now... In the popular saying, she has been "broken", and what is happening will not be beautified by the brain. She witnessed this girl who looks exactly like her just say "I'm sorry", and she endured it for many years. The anger almost broke out uncontrollably.

The girl in front of her is not her sister, but she is closer than her own sister in terms of blood relationship. She is herself, she is her mirror image, and she is another her.

Excluding the inhuman existence of the Angel of Light, No. 15 has always been very confident in her own strength when facing humans. She is a leader who is stronger than a genius. She is a reborn person in another sense. She took it for granted that this was due to her own talent and hard work, and of course Tuozhen's directional training was indispensable, but she never dreamed that there was another her besides her, and this she was only because she did not meet his expectations. If you want to be imprisoned forever in this dark underground fourth floor?

For the first time in her life, No. 15 has a strong killing intent towards Tuozhen. This girl is another self. She can tolerate what happened to her, but she can't see her other self imprisoned for life.

Fu Hao heard this girl calling Takuma his brother, he couldn't help looking at Takuma in surprise, and at the same time felt a deep chill in his heart, if Takuma can even do this with his own sister, it's better not to provoke someone like this .

Tuozhen sarcastically said to the girl, "Aside from saying sorry, what else would you do?"

"I'm sorry..." She bowed her head and apologized again.

"what!"

Takuma suddenly moved his body, he turned around abruptly, and saw the little boy named Edward backing back again and again with a toy gun in his hand, his face was full of fear, but he shouted bravely: "You are not allowed to bully Sister Yuna!" !"

"Edward!" The girl screamed, rushed over to pull Edward away, knelt down in front of Tuozhen and begged, "I'm sorry! He is still a child and ignorant, please don't punish him! If you want to punish him, punish me!"

The boy named Xiao Zhi who had fought with Edward just now also rushed over and stopped in front of the girl, staring at Tuozhen and gnashing his teeth.

But the girl held Edward and Xiao Zhi's shoulders, forced them to kneel down, and said with fear: "Quickly lower your head and apologize! Do you hear me?"

Edward and Xiaozhi stubbornly refused to kneel, and stared at Takuma as if they were killing their father and enemy.

The rich man looked at the two boys thoughtfully, looking at the outlines of their immature faces, he thought of those two high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen who were about his age, and he had read their autobiographies, although many ordinary people He thinks that these autobiographies of celebrities are cheating money or selling chicken soup, but he doesn't think so. Every person who can become a superior person has his own inevitability, and a giant businessman like them who is about to be successful , is there anyone who is not extremely tenacious and particularly assertive?It is difficult to say that there are no innate factors at all.

He took another look at the boy who looked somewhat similar to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because this boy seemed a little shy, and he didn't think he was such a cowardly child when he was a child... But, there was a feeling in his heart. The voice mocked him.

The voice said: Don't lie to yourself, you were like this when you were a child, and you will still be like this when you grow up. Aren't you just like this kid now, who can only stand up and dare not even fart?Your success comes more from luck, the pigs standing on the wind can take off, you are far behind those two people...

"Shut up!" he growled.

The other people present were all stunned, whether it was Tuozhen, that girl, or these children, all looked sideways at him.

The rich man woke up like a dream, and quickly explained to Tuozhen with an apologetic smile: "Mr. C, I'm not yelling at you, I will occasionally talk to myself when I'm old...Mr. C, I think it's better to forget it, don't talk to these children. General knowledge, let's go up, it's really boring here..."

Tuozhen snorted coldly with a sullen face, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

The rich man looked back at the little boy who looked like himself again, and he was also looking at him, his eyes regarded him as... the savior?

The elevator door closed, Tuozhen swiped his ID card, pressed the button on the third floor, and the elevator began to ascend.

With a flight attendant-like business smile on the rich man's face, he said without words: "Thanks to Mr. C, today I have opened my eyes..."

"You're wrong." Takuma interrupted rudely.

Fu Hao was taken aback, "Which sentence?"

"You told me not to be as knowledgeable as a child—don't let me remind you a third time, those are not children, but a group of pigs in a pig farm." Tuozhen said with a straight face.

"Ah, yes... that's it." Fu Hao smiled awkwardly.

The elevator stopped at the third floor, and the elevator doors opened.

"Dad! Where have you been?" The little boy with an oxygen tube in his nostrils called coquettishly.

"Walking around casually... Come on, let's go home, goodbye to Uncle C."

The rich man didn't want to stay here for a moment, as if this was a man-eating devil's lair, he secretly regretted why he had to come in person, wouldn't it be better to find a trustworthy confidant to check for him?
However, if he could go back in time and do it all over again, he might still choose to come by himself, because this matter is too sensational, and if it gets out, it will be a scandal that ruins his reputation, and he can't trust anyone.

The little boy nodded obediently to Tuozhen, "Goodbye, Uncle C."

Tuozhen remained silent indifferently, and a person in a white coat was in charge of seeing the guests away.

When the rich man and the children took the elevator to leave, Tuozhen and the rest of them in white coats went to the laboratory on the third floor. The white coats humbly reported some professional things to Tuozhen, but Tuozhen didn't realize that his ID card had been stolen. Being replaced, skillful empty-handedness is also a must-have skill for ninjas.

On the 15th, he stole an ID card in a white coat, exchanged this ID card with Takuma's ID card again, put Takuma's ID card into the ninja suit, and entered the elevator.

No. 15 thinks that maybe only Tuozhen's ID card has the authority to go down to the fourth floor, and the ID cards of the white coats can only reach the third floor at most.

The ID card is non-contact. As long as it is close to the induction area inside the elevator, it will automatically go down to the bottom floor. Even if there is monitoring in the elevator, you can’t see anything.

The elevator stopped at the negative fourth floor again.

When the elevator door opened, the girl was comforting and educating the two boys, Xiao Zhi and Edward, telling them not to piss off that man, otherwise something terrible would happen.

The children are relatively unfamiliar with the word "man". They have never had contact with adult men since they can remember. They even thought that the world was only as big as the third floor, and they were the only children in the world... In fact, when they were younger, Takuma Also brought other clients to visit, they just don't remember.

When the girl heard the elevator door open, she shut up in a panic. At the same time, she covered the mouth of the loudest child, and looked at the elevator with fear, wondering why Takuma left and returned.

However, the elevator was empty and there was no one there.

She half-opened her mouth in astonishment, not understanding what happened, why was the elevator empty?
Except for Tuozhen who appears occasionally once a year or so, no one will take the elevator down. Food, clothes, toys, etc. will all be sent down through a special conveyor belt, and broken toys, small clothes, or other garbage will be sent down. Put it on the conveyor belt and take it away. If there is any additional demand, she will write a note and put it on the conveyor belt. Most of the needs will be met, so it is extremely rare for the elevator door to open, let alone no one in the elevator. In other words, if no one swipes the ID card in the elevator, the elevator will not go down to this floor.

At this moment, she and the children saw an unbelievably strange picture, a blurry figure appeared out of thin air, from nothing, from blurry to clear, until a man dressed in black only showed V-shaped holes in the eyes people appear before their eyes.

Obviously, it is impossible to have surveillance equipment on such a secret negative fourth floor, and it would be terrible if any images spread out.

The girl spread her arms to protect the children in fear, and the children shrank behind her in fear.

"You... who are you?" She asked tremblingly, "Are you here to take the child away?"

She has long known the fate of these children. Sooner or later, someone will appear to take them away, and they will never come back, unless it is a particularly lucky child whose prototype encounters a sudden accident, such as sudden death or being arrested. Only in prison can they stay on this level forever.

The eyes of the man in black gleamed in the V-shaped slit of the mask, watching her, but for some reason, she always felt that these eyes were familiar.

"No, I'm here to take you away." The man in black said, the voice was unexpectedly that of a young woman.

"Take me away?" She widened her eyes in astonishment, "Did Tuozhen send you here? Why did you take me away?"

When people speak, they hear their own voices, which are different from others hearing their own voices. She was surprised by what the man in black said, while the children were surprised that the voice of the man in black was similar to that of their sister Yuna. Very similar, of course the tone of speech is completely different.

"No, it has nothing to do with him, I came by myself." The man in black shook his head.

Not only was the girl's question not answered, but it made her even more confused, because she knew that Takumi was a man with a strong desire to control, and the life and death of everyone on the lower fourth floor was in his hands, and he had absolute control over this institution. Control, how could someone come in without his permission?

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about it so much, just follow me." The man in black waved to her, gesturing for her to follow him into the elevator.

"But... what about these children?" she asked, standing still.

The man in black glanced at the children, "They have nothing to do with me."

The girl bit her lower lip tightly, "Have you got Tuozhen's permission to take me away?"

"I don't need his permission!" The man in black said angrily, "I can take whoever I want. Who dares to stop me? Who can stop me?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly but firmly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, you should leave quickly, before Tuozhen finds you..."

"Aren't you leaving?" the man in black asked in surprise.

"I'm not leaving." The girl put her hands on the children's shoulders, "Takuma will be very angry when he finds out that I'm gone, and he'll vent his anger on these children...so I want to stay."

The man in black looked her up and down like a monster, pointed to his head and said, "Are you stupid? Is there something wrong with you here? Don't you understand what I mean? I want to take you out of this place." A ghostly place, where you can bask in the sun, blow the sea breeze, smell the breath of green grass, and no one can restrain you. You don’t want to. Is your head filled with glue? In this place, you can’t even understand what I’m talking about?”

The girl shook her head, "I can understand, I didn't stay here before, it was only two or three years ago... about two or three years ago, sorry, there is no calendar here, my concept of time is very vague, maybe three or four It was brought here years ago."

"Then why don't you want to go with me?" the man in black asked.

"Because these children need me. They haven't been in contact with anyone else since they can remember. I can't leave them alone to be happy and free." She stroked their hair lovingly.

The man in black was silent for a moment, "You know they will..."

"I know." The girl nodded and smiled at the man in black: "But before that, I want to stay by their side as much as possible, at least until they reach adulthood, or close to adulthood, and when that moment comes, tell them not to Scared, as soon as we wake up, we can be together again."

"You are really... a guy who is good at lying." The man in black lowered his eyes slightly, "Do you know the reason why you were brought here?"

"I know, because I'm stupid, which disappointed Takuma." The girl laughed at herself and said, "You're right, I'm really stupid, Takuma keeps saying that about me, I'm a useless piece of trash, only here , I have a little bit of meaning in existence..."

"shut up!"

The man in black seemed to have his chest heaving violently because of being too emotional, "You are not allowed to talk about yourself like that again! You are just...too gentle, what he said is right, you have not become the person you should be, but have become ... a better person."
