After a moment of pause, Jiang Ziyi sighed and said, "What if you can’t pull yourself out and get lost in other people’s emotions? By then, you will lose your mind or even die on the spot."
The child nodded, but her words were firm. "Brother, I understand. But you are not a bad person. I trust you. You won’t harm me."
Seeing how stubborn she was, Jiang Ziyi could only shake his head and say, "Okay, I’m not sad anymore. Thank you for comforting me."
The child stared into his eyes for a moment. When she no longer felt guilt and sadness coming from him, she finally smiled and continued washing the fruits.
"You are welcome, Brother!"
The next day, Jiao Lizhi woke up at 4 o’clock in the morning. After brushing her teeth, she went for a morning run. Two hours later, she returned to the house, took a shower, and had her breakfast.
After she learned Jiang Ziyi’s identity, she rarely saw him.
When she checked on him, he was either with the children or with the chimeras. They would be playing, working, or just napping together. Since he was just spending his time leisurely, Jiao Lizhi let him be.
After breakfast, she went to the grassland. Seeing her, the mutants were no longer as aggressive as yesterday.
"Good morning, everyone," she greeted them with a smile.
While no one replied to her, Jiao Lizhi didn’t feel angry. She glanced at everyone and said, "I believe that all of you have made your decision. Those who want to stay can stand on the left side, and those who want to leave can stand on the right side."
As soon as she finished her words, only Feng Yuxuan stood on the left side. The rest of the mutants chose to leave.
Jiao Lizhi didn’t expect him to choose to stay. She looked at him and asked, "Feng Yuxuan, are you sure you want to stay here?"
Feng Yuxuan nodded and replied calmly, "There are too many uncertainties, and I can’t take the risk of being exposed to the Facility. Unlike others, almost everyone in the Facility recognizes me."
When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi went silent for a moment before she nodded. "Very well."
What he said was right. Before they had 100% certainty, it wasn’t safe for him to leave the space. He was one of the Facility’s greatest assets.
With both his and Fu Guai’s disappearances, added to Jiang Ziyi’s unknown whereabouts, it would be strange if the organization didn’t send people to investigate this matter.
Jiao Lizhi looked at the mutants and said, "All of you, sit down and close your eyes. You might feel uncomfortable for a moment, but it will pass soon."
The mutants nodded and followed her instructions. After everyone closed their eyes, a blue light enveloped them. The next moment, a mechanical voice echoed in Jiao Lizhi’s mind.
"The data deletion process will start in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
"The data deletion process is completed. Subjects’ memories have been partially modified."
