The current situation has deviated from the life path I expected, but that's what I said. No matter how you look at that person, he is a big shot who fools many people. If he wants to change the life of a person like me, it is just a matter of one sentence...

I was taken by him to a wooden house located at the junction of snowfields and forests. To be honest, the environment here was indeed like heaven compared with the testing ground.

That person ordered me to live here. I was allowed to do whatever I wanted except leaving the cabin and going up to the second floor. Then some members of the Fools even sent me a lot of exquisite and beautiful clothes and a lot of food. It is said... For me.

It was a bit like a dream, but I had to be alert. The man said he would keep an eye on me, although I didn’t understand what it meant. After he told me some things, he went up to the second floor. I think this house may be his home……

-

After confirming that the person had indeed gone up to the second floor and that no one was watching her around, Kelai carefully got out of the blanket she was wrapped in and stepped on the carpet with her bare feet. She lowered her head and looked at herself, who was skinny and everywhere. With his body covered in scars and disease spots, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, and then found something warmer and more suitable to wear from the clothes piled up as high as a hill.

From the very beginning, the food on the table was exuding an alluring aroma, but Kelai had been trying hard to restrain himself from looking at or thinking about it. However, [Gluttony] is the original sin engraved deep in the human soul. , especially when she was an experimental subject, she was only provided with some tasteless nutrients every day to maintain her life. Now faced with such a table of delicious food, someone else would have pounced on it without a second thought. If she could persist until Now, it can only be said that Kelai's willpower is indeed strong enough.

But when hunger reaches a certain level, no matter how firm your will is, it will loosen——

"If you really want to kill me, there is no need to go to such trouble..." The moment this thought came to him, Kelai felt that her mind went blank for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on the stool in front of the table. , mouth full of food.

"Damn it...why is it so delicious..." Kelai chewed and swallowed, and kept reaching out to grab other food, but the look on his face was not the joy of eating delicious food to fill his stomach, but some kind of intense unwilling.

At this time, in the room on the second floor, the silver-haired boy was sitting on the sofa, with one hand supporting the side of his face and the other hand holding a book in front of him to read.

He stared at the line written in the book - "When people's desires are satisfied, they will gain joy."

After looking at it for a long time, he murmured: "Is it enough to meet the three basic basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation? It's really greedy."

......

After eating and drinking, Kelai silently left the chair and sat back on the sofa in a daze, which lasted all afternoon.

And similarly, for the whole afternoon, the man never came down from the second floor, and no one from outside came to disturb him.

This was the calmest and most comfortable afternoon that Kelai had spent in so many years, but the comfort was only on the surface, but something was brewing in her heart all the time.

At about 06:30 in the evening, someone outside came to clear away Kelai's leftovers on the table, then quietly arranged a new meal and left quietly.

Kelai ate alone and continued to sit on the sofa in a daze after the meal.

Until sleepiness hit my brain, I fell directly on the sofa and fell asleep.

At midnight, Kelai quietly opened his eyes.

She did not make an immediate move, but rolled her eyes, briefly observed the surrounding situation, then stood up from the sofa lightly, looked carefully at the stairs leading to the second floor, and then quietly began to use a piece of clothing as a Put the remaining food on the table in the package, pick it up, and approach the door with almost silent steps.

With his heart pounding, he took one step...two steps...and finally approached the door. He put on the shoes that came with the clothes at the entrance, and opened the door with the utmost lightness.

A gust of icy cold wind carried the snow and hit her face, but she didn't pay attention at all, but swallowed nervously. It wasn't until she walked out of the house that she looked back for the last time, feeling warm and comfortable against the glow of the fireplace. house.

She closed the door very gently, but the rhythm of her heartbeat became faster and faster. Kelai kept chanting in his heart: "Relax...relax...relax, relax..."

click...

The door was closed, and the heat source in the room was instantly cut off. In front of him was a vast white world. The cold wind was biting and mixed with snowflakes, but the sky was clear. The bright moon hung high, the stars were bright, and the stars were shining with the moon's shadow. On the snow, it is as beautiful as a painting.

Although Kelai was so cold that she wanted to curl up after a while, her heart was as hot as ever.

escaped...

Kelai grabbed the package in her hand and rushed into the snowfield like crazy, as if she wanted to take away all the suffering she had suffered over the years!All suffering!All misfortune!As if she had left them all behind, she was running across this empty snowfield. Even if it was freezing to the bone, even if she fell, this sense of freedom and relief made her want to scream with excitement, but she knew that she had not completely escaped yet. , must be faster, must run farther——

Kelai didn't know how long she ran or how far she ran, but when her physical strength could no longer support her and she fell into the snow, it was as if she was the only one left in the world.

She lay on the snowy field where nothing could be seen around her, looking at the boundless bright night sky above her head. She gasped for breath and smiled for the first time in years on her face.

She took the food out of the package and stuffed it into her mouth. It was obviously cold and the taste was far less delicious than when she ate it at the table, but she preferred the food she was holding in her hands.

For the next few days, Kelai walked around. When she was hungry, she ate the frozen food like ice cubes in the package. When she was thirsty, she dug out the snow on the ground to eat. When she was sleepy, she lay down on the ground. She felt that she It's so freeing.

However - when the joy of being free gradually faded away, the food was eaten up, the clothes were soaked in snow water, and the noon sun shining on the snow made the eyes red and swollen, making them shed tears.

Unable to hold on any longer, Kelai fell to the sky and fell on the snow. Different from the previous joy and excitement, Kelai who fell this time had a look of pain on her face. Her body could no longer support her such squandering, and she remained silent for several days. The remnants of the devil began to whisper in her mind again, and her body was in agony and cold. She rolled and struggled on the snow, desperately stuffing the snow into her mouth - but it was no use, she felt like she was going to die.

She gave up the struggle and had no strength to struggle anymore. She lay down on the snow again, her heart was indescribably complicated. She did not die in the hands of the fools... but she was going to die on the way to escape from the fools...

crunch - crunch -

The sound of walking on the snow—the sound that Kelai was most used to in recent days, sounded in the direction above his head. Kelai looked up with the only part of his body that could still move—his eyeballs.

Then she saw the young man with silver hair and purple eyes leaning down beside her and picking her up from the snow without saying anything.

Black flames enveloped her, and she closed her eyes in fear, but there was no burning or stinging feeling. Instead, there was an incomparable warmth and comfort. The demon's remnant no longer made any noise, and all her clothes were dried.

——Ke Lai opened his eyes and looked blankly at the side face of the young man who was holding her and walking in the direction he came from without any expression. An indescribable feeling rose in his heart...

My name is Kelai. On a snowy day, I met a very strange person.

——He forcefully changed my life again and again.

Chapter 49 Ke Lai’s Daily Life

In the wooden house shrouded in darkness and heavy snow, only the bathroom on the first floor lit up with a warm yellow light.

In the mist, Kelai nestled in the bathtub filled with hot water, hugging his legs and submerging half of his face in the water.

Thinking back to what happened 10 minutes ago in his mind, his face was immediately filled with displeasure.

——Ke Lai was brought back to this wooden house 10 minutes ago. After entering, she was thrown into the bathroom by the man.

At that time, Kelai looked at his back as he left without looking back and couldn't help shouting, "Wait a minute."

The man stopped but didn't look back.Ke Lai hesitated and gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry, I..."

"That's not necessary." He interrupted Kelai calmly.

Kelai was silent, and then asked: "What...should I call you?"

"[The deceased]," he said.

"Where's the name...?"

"You don't need to know." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in the black flames all over his body...

In the bathtub, Kelai half-closed his eyes. With a gentle exhalation, a series of bubbles appeared on the steaming water.

"Weird guy..." she muttered to herself.

......

In the following days, Kelai did not try to escape again. Every day was like living according to a schedule without any disturbance.

There is only one bedroom on the first floor, and Ke Lai sleeps there on weekdays. The room is very clean and beautiful, the bed is big and very comfortable, and there is a big window on the wall. As long as you open the curtains, you can see the snowy scene outside. In the morning When he woke up, Ke Lai used to sit on the warm and comfortable big bed and stare at the snow scene for a while, then go to the bathroom to wash up and prepare for breakfast.

The form of breakfast is not fixed, and the special foods of each country will be rotated every day. Ke Lai’s favorite and most anticipated day is the day when he eats Liyue vegetables. Of course, whether and whenever it is rotated to Liyue vegetables, [Dead Man] Then there will be something to do with dining with her... I don't know. Although the two of them dine together only once every seven days, and every time, Kelai would talk to him cautiously, and he would often ignore him. .

During the period from [-] to [-] a.m., Kelai usually learns to read under the guidance of a female member of the Foolish People. This is not because anyone ordered her to do this, but at Kelai's own request, but he said When this happened, Ke Lai's mood was actually very complicated——

This is what happened in the third week that Kelai lived in this wooden house.

At the dinner table where they had breakfast together once every seven days, [the deceased] was still reading while eating. Kelai finished his breakfast in silence. It was not until [the deceased] got up to leave the table that he finally seemed to have the courage. Kelai, who seemed to have gained courage, closed his eyes and whispered to him: "Um...can you teach me how to read?"

The [Decedent] looked back at her with a rare expression. Kelai remembered that it was a look of 'doubt'.

"Would you be happy about that?" [The deceased] asked.

"Because...because I'm usually bored...I think it would be interesting to read a book that I could understand...so...I'd be happy..." He stumbled over the words and his face turned red from holding back.

[The deceased] nodded and left without saying anything, so the next day——

After the knock on the door, Kelai went over to open the door. Standing outside the door was a very tall sister. The other party smiled and greeted Kelai: "Hello, I was ordered by Lord [Decedent] to come here and teach you how to read. people."

Kelai looked at the friendly smiling face of the other party and blinked blankly: "...Eh?"

However, although there is a slight deviation from expectations, overall, Ke Lai still likes the two hours of study time from [-] to [-] o'clock every day.

After ten o'clock, Kelai would stand at the top of the stairs and ask loudly if she could go outside for a walk. She would not go out until she got permission. Although every time she asked, she would get a "permission" response, but she would still ask every day. Again.

Because there is only wood outside besides snow, Kelai makes snowmen every time she goes out. She builds one every day and goes back after finishing the pile. Most of those snowmen will be painted with indifferent faces by her...

Lunch is also a time that Ke Lai is looking forward to, because the member of the Fools who delivers lunch is also responsible for bringing some "gadgets" that Ke Lai requires. Sometimes it is books, sometimes it is needlework or cloth, and of course there are some that she is responsible for. Some small toys seen in pictures in books.Based on Kelai's personality, he would not ask for anything from the Fools. The fundamental reason was that one day when the members of the Fools who delivered lunch came over, the [deceased] who happened to be out and passed by the restaurant said casually to Kelai. One sentence: "If you need anything, tell him."

And because of this, Kelai, who used to have nothing to do after lunch, had something to do. She liked sewing very much and often indulged in it all afternoon, until the person who delivered the meal came to remind her that it was time to have dinner.

As for after dinner, Kelai likes to take a bath and then go back to his room to lie on the bed and read a book. Although he always stumbled when reading at first, after studying for so long, Kelai can now finish a book smoothly.

Ten o'clock in the evening was the time for Kelai to go to bed, but he would often toss and turn in bed for a while before falling asleep because he was thinking about the story he had just finished.

Days like this lasted for so long that Kelai seemed to have forgotten his life in that research institute.

——This day is no different from usual. The only thing worthy of attention is probably that today is Liyue breakfast...

Every day on this day, Kelai would skip the process of staring at the snow scene in a daze. Not long after she opened her eyes, she went to the bathroom to wash up in her pajamas, humming the music she learned from the record player.

Before breakfast started, she sat down at the dining table early, reading a book there, although her eyes always glanced in the direction of the stairs unconsciously.

Today's [Decedent] came a little slowly. He didn't come down from upstairs until the breakfast was already a little cold.

Kelai's eyes lit up, but the next second, they dimmed due to the path of the [deceased], because the [deceased] did not walk towards the dining table, but walked straight towards the door.

Kelai bit his lip and couldn't help shouting: "Um... do you have something to deal with?"

[The deceased] turned back and smiled at her (his expression became richer and richer), but his voice was still so calm: "Don't ask so many questions."

"..."

[The deceased] left the house, and Cole finished his breakfast alone in silence.

[The deceased] did not come back all morning. Kelai was reminded by the "teacher" several times during study time not to lose focus.

He still didn't come back at noon. Kelai didn't have much appetite. He only ate a few bites of lunch and then went to sit on the sofa very close to the door and sat in a daze.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of the door being pushed open sounded.

Kelai stood up from the sofa in an instant, looking towards the door with joy on her face, but her smile froze, and a feeling of weightlessness and suffocation enveloped her whole body.

Because standing outside the door was a man wearing a mask that covered three-quarters of his face. The half of his exposed mouth was grinning in a high arc:

"Hey, my little experimental subject has a new owner. Is your life still happy?"

Chapter 50 "Doctor" "Dead"

The moment he saw that person, the memories in Kelai's mind that had been forgotten...or deliberately not thought about, broke through the shackles of thinking in an instant, and quickly occupied the entire brain's thoughts.

The controller behind the human experiment, the real culprit behind sending her to the deepest level of hell, the Fool Executive [Doctor] (the one who was very criticized in the official comics)...

Even Kelai had only met him a few times, but the look of him was something she could not forget no matter what.
