Chapter 4 Doubt

The first time Xu Shen saw the ruins was three months ago in the morning.

He got up as usual, went to the living room, and ate the breakfast served by his mother.

That breakfast was moist and had a faint fishy smell. Xu Shen asked his mother what it was, and the answer he got was fresh strawberries.

Although he felt weird and confused, Xu Shen still endured the discomfort and ate it because of his unconditional trust in his mother. After all, he had only heard of strawberries but had never eaten them.

This is an extremely luxurious and expensive fruit for the fog people living at the bottom.

Usually only the big shots enjoy it...

With anticipation and excitement, Xu Shen tasted it carefully, but what he got was a bitter and fishy taste. Especially when he bit into it, the fishy pulp exploded instantly and filled his lips and teeth.

At that moment, for the first time in his life, he lost his yearning for the life of those big shots.

Considering the luxury of strawberries, Xu Shen still resisted the desire to vomit and swallowed it with difficulty.

But soon I felt a burst of heat, gushing out from the intestines and gastric juices, extending along the blood pumping from the heart, and spreading to the ends of the body and limbs.

He thought this was a normal feeling after eating strawberries.

But then, something miraculous happened.

In the nothingness he had felt all year round, a vague light appeared.

The light became clearer and clearer, and Xu Shen was shocked to find that he could actually "see" it.

And that time was also the first time in his life that he regretted that he could actually see it.

Because the "mother" in front of him was the ferocious and ugly Yumo Ji, whose appearance alone was enough to give people nightmares.

And the strawberry left on his dinner plate was round and round. Xu Shen didn't know how to describe it, but he knew that it was definitely not the fruit of a plant, but a piece of flesh and blood!

It wasn't until later that he "saw" his mother's "eyes" between the bridge of her nose and her hairline. Those eyes... were quite similar to the meat on his dinner plate.

Only then did he realize what the "fresh strawberries" he had eaten were.

Although it was the first time he saw her, Xu Shen naturally did not regard Yumoji as his real mother.

Because he knows the general "look" of his mother, or in other words, he knows that his mother's body and shape are similar to his.

Even if he is born blind, it does not mean that he has no common sense. What's more, what he sees in front of him is just the appearance. It is just the first time he "sees" the world. He does not even judge or recognize colors, but he can sincerely follow them.

Feel the fear in that terrifying appearance!

But he didn't yell at the first time.

Maybe he was confused.

Perhaps the strong shocks of "seeing" and "mother" hit him at the same time, causing him to fall into a long silence.

When he regained consciousness again, he found that he had been able to control his emotions, so he suppressed his fear and carefully observed the world he had truly "seen" for the first time...

Later, he saw his real mother, who had passed away.

The home was invaded by this monster.

Every day after that, this monster would bring some fresh "vegetables" to make breakfast, lunch, dinner, and occasionally some "fruits" and "snacks" for himself.

"Mom" said that she was still growing and had to eat three meals a day.

Xu Shen wanted to say, there is no need to...

But he didn't dare to refuse or anger "mom".

He tried to resist, but he saw the angry "mom" crawling around the house, banging and beating on the walls, ceiling, and bedroom.

He felt afraid, fearing that the other party would slap him in anger.

He felt that his small body might not be able to bear the palm that could crack the wall.

So what follows is three months of closed nutritional feeding...





Xu Shen's thoughts slowly returned to the Xu Secret Bureau and the recording room.

"There are still some doubts about this incident. I hope you can cooperate with us to record it." At this time, the young woman stared at Xu Shen and said.

Although she couldn't see Xu Shen's eyes and knew that Xu Shen couldn't see her, she still maintained her usual movement habits.

Xu Shen's heart skipped a beat as he "saw" the other party's gaze and felt a bit oppressive.

But soon he comforted himself that he had no eyes... This was a bad thing, but sometimes it was also a good thing. People couldn't read his thoughts from his eyes.

Just like the pity and sympathy that had appeared in this young woman's eyes before, she could see them clearly, and she could feel the other person's heart from this.

"I hope you won't hide anything. These will be entered into the archives. They will also provide a reference and reference for similar things in the future, and they will have contribution value." The young woman said seriously.

The value of contribution...does it still have value after the contribution is made? Xu Shen thought silently in his heart, but he quickly agreed: "I will definitely cooperate."

"First of all, the first question is, do you really not know that your mother has been replaced?" The young woman's tone gradually became sharp.

The air suddenly became tight.

Xu Shen suddenly felt that this was not a record, but an interrogation.

That feeling of insecurity came over him again, and his fingers under the table clenched slightly, but slowly relaxed them after two seconds.

After being silent for a while, Xu Shen said: "I don't know, I just feel that my mother's personality has changed a little in the past few months, but I thought that maybe something happened to my mother at work that caused the change in temperament.

"

"About work? It...can still talk to you about work?"

The young woman was stunned and asked suspiciously.

Xu Shen shook his head slightly: "Mom won't go to work for three months. Even if it doesn't say it, I can guess it..."

Young woman: "..."

"Okay, then the second question is, normal people can eat what Xu feeds you, right? Why can you eat it? And, haven't you ever doubted it?" The young woman's eyes became sharp again,

It seems that he wants to regain his aura.

Xu Shen replied: "Of course I couldn't eat it. The first time I ate it, I almost vomited it out, but my mother got angry and lost her temper and forced me to eat. I have always listened to my mother's words and she took good care of me."

It was hard work, so I didn’t want to make my mother angry. Although it tasted terrible, I still ate it.”

"As for doubt...why should you doubt your mother?"

The young woman was left speechless by the rhetorical question.

So...this guy is a filial son?

It seems so.

According to the information she obtained, the young man in front of her lost his father when he was young. His father was killed while working outside, and he was raised by his mother since he was a child. They warmed each other in the dangerous environment of this city, and they would indeed have a deep relationship with his mother.

"You are already 16 years old and have been working at your assigned job for two years. You have been working steadily every day. Suddenly your mother asked you to miss work for three months. Don't you question it?" the young woman asked again.

If only he had eyes... The young woman stared closely at the fog boy in front of her, feeling secretly sorry in her heart. Eyes can reveal a lot of things. Although she sympathized with the boy's experience, judging from the information in this incident,

There were too many doubts, which made her think that this young man might have known for a long time that his mother had been replaced by a beast.

Although...such a guess is incredible.

After all, if he really knew about it, this young man would definitely alarm the beasts and then be killed.

It's impossible to live in such harmony for three months.

"I find it strange too, but my mother keeps saying it's dangerous outside and won't let me go out. I can't help but listen to my mother, right?"

Xu Shen sighed and said a little lowly: "Besides, if the job is gone, you can still find it again, but there is only one mother, and it is for my own good..."

The young woman was speechless.

"Okay, that's it for today."

Seeing Xu Shen's low mood, the man next to him winked at the young woman, shook his head and said: "After all, he has just experienced so much and accepted so much new information. Don't embarrass him anymore. He is just a fog man."

, and you can’t see it, not to mention it’s a C-level beast. Even we may not be able to distinguish it with its disguise, let alone with our eyes closed..."

"But……"

The young woman was a little unwilling. She always felt that there was something strange inside. There was no reason, maybe it was just a woman's sixth sense.

"And I'll be off work in two minutes. I don't want to work overtime."

The man raised his arms to relax his body, smiled at the young woman and said, "Don't forget that he will also be our colleague in the future, and he will also be a member of the combat department..."

The young woman understood what he meant and said helplessly: "Okay."

The two stood up, said a few polite words to Xu Shen, and sent him out of the recording room.

Watching the boy being taken away by colleagues from the War Department who were waiting outside, the young woman still felt unwilling and said: "I always feel that there are some strange things inside that I haven't asked clearly about. You have also seen the photos taken from the scene. It is simply hell."

!

How could he not notice anything after living with a beast in such an environment for three months? Unless he is really big-hearted and a filial son!"

"Yeah." The man nodded, looked at his watch, and asked, "What do you want to eat after get off work? I'll treat you to it."

"..."
