125. My name is Game
125. My name is Game
Cat Lord, Tai Sui, Shen, and Gluttony in the bar—their identities are not suitable for exposure. They have left too much hatred in a human-dominated society, and getting involved in too many things will only bring more trouble.
Seemingly seeing through Jiang Chen's concerns, the usually silent brat spoke up.
"I don't want to stay here anymore."
His voice was calm, yet it conveyed a resoluteness beyond his years.
"I don't want my past name or identity anymore."
He didn't know who his parents were, but he knew that he had been abandoned by them, and he didn't expect that one day his parents would change their minds and come back to him.
These days, being treated like a monster by the staff and others at the welfare home is not a pleasant memory.
So he wanted to say goodbye to the past completely, to sever ties with it and start anew.
Jiang Chen did not deny his idea, but asked.
"Have you decided on your name yet?"
The mischievous child lowered his head, his gaze falling on the game console.
Games were his only solace in his lonely world.
Let's call it "Game".
Jiang Chen approved of the name, and it reminded him of an anime character, which gave him a bold idea. He turned to look at Cat Master beside him.
"Master Cat, since the game's spirit is still in its gestation period, does that mean we can artificially intervene in it?"
"Is targeted training possible?"
Cat flicked its tail, a hint of surprise flashing in its emerald eyes.
It didn't expect Jiang Chen to think of this. Although it had lived for thousands of years, it rarely encountered such a situation and didn't have enough experience.
"In theory, targeted breeding is indeed possible."
"But theory is just theory. It is full of uncertainties, and it is extremely difficult to intervene precisely. It is almost impossible to succeed."
"As long as there's an opportunity."
Jiang Chen interrupted Cat Master.
For him, as long as there is even the slightest possibility, it is worth trying.
impossible?
Has he experienced a lot along the way?
The person and the cat instantly reached a consensus.
Accompanied by spatial distortion.
A person, a cat, and a child disappeared in this dilapidated annex.
Inside the room, only the old television set remained.
The start screen of Yu Yu Hakusho on the screen was still flickering with a faint light, as if silently telling the story of everything that had just happened here.
Two hours later, it was already broad daylight.
A black, extended luxury car stopped in front of the welfare home.
The car door opened, and Ai Yi stepped out.
He was dressed very well today, clearly a man of considerable wealth, and entered the orphanage accompanied by his assistant.
In the dean's office, Ai Yi sat in the main seat, and her assistant handed her a document.
"Dean Wang, hello, I am a representative of Ai's Group, my name is Ai Yi."
"Our group is planning to do some charity work to give back to society. We will fund the education of children in welfare homes in the name of the group, and at the same time, we will see if there are any suitable children we can adopt."
Across from him, the dean, who was over fifty years old, was somewhat flattered. The Ai Group, that's a big group, especially with its rapid development in the past year.
However, she was surprised, "Mr. Ai looks very young, and he wants to adopt a child now."
So young, and already this bad?
Ai Yi explained with a smile, "My dad really wants to have a grandson, but I don't have that idea yet. However, there are many employees in the group, and there are always some families that are in difficulty. Helping them find adoptive parents and rebuild their families would benefit both sides."
"Of course, if the seedlings are good enough, we can train them ourselves."
Ai Yi's ramblings were so convincing that the bewildered dean nodded repeatedly. People with such a sense of responsibility and compassion as Ai Yi are truly rare.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ai Yi finally got to the point: she wanted to meet that brat named Game, whom she had heard was a genius.
Having said all that, could the dean refuse? Of course not, so he could only take Ai Yi to the annex.
"Squeak—"
The iron gate was pushed open.
However, the scene behind the door was empty.
Apart from the television, game console, and controller, there was no one else there; he simply vanished into thin air.
Where are they?
The dean let out a startled cry, his expression one of terror and panic.
Ai Yi outwardly feigned surprise, but in reality, she had already activated her senses the moment she stepped into the room.
Several energy fluctuations remained in the air.
One of them was one he knew all too well—it belonged to Cat Master.
If Cat Master has appeared here, then how far away can Jiang Chen, who disappeared with Cat Master a long time ago, be?
They must have been here, and his mission objective must have been to be taken away by them.
Ai Yi was not discouraged by the mission failure; on the contrary, he was very happy. After all, he had confirmed Jiang Chen's whereabouts as soon as he stepped out of the house, which was incredibly lucky.
In order to protect Jiang Chen and Cat Master's whereabouts from being discovered by the Foundation, Ai Yi immediately made a decision.
He turned his head and looked at the panicked dean.
A faint golden light flashed in his eyes.
"Dean Wang, you've got it wrong."
Ai Yi spoke in a calm, unquestionable, almost commanding tone.
"That child, because of his outstanding performance, has been adopted and taken away by our Edward Group."
The dean's eyes showed a moment of confusion, then cleared up.
She nodded.
"Yes, yes, it was picked up by your group. Look at my memory."
Her memories have been altered, which is precisely due to his ability to combine the dragon's nine sons totem with her destiny—a king's word is law!
Then, Ai Yi subtly released a trace of totem aura.
That is the power of the Suanni, one of the nine sons of the dragon.
An invisible, corrosive aura permeated the room.
All the spiritual energy fluctuations left by Cat Master and Jiang Chen in the air were completely wiped out.
He fabricated the illusion that the target had escaped through his own abilities.
At the same time, he had secretly memorized a general location by following the trajectory of that spatial fluctuation.
After cleaning up all traces at the scene, Ai Yi left the welfare home.
He took out his phone and dialed Dongfang Liang's number.
The moment the call connected, Ai Yi immediately started accusing Dongfang Liang, launching into a tirade against him.
I've disliked this four-eyed guy for a long time, and I've finally found an opportunity to vent my frustrations and give him a good scolding.
"Your intelligence department is so unprofessional! The intelligence you gave me is all outdated. How can you do such a big job? The target has long since disappeared without a trace. You made me come all this way for nothing and wasted my time."
On the other end of the phone, Dongfang Liang was silent for a moment. He thought for a while and did not refute Ai Yi.
"Since that mission objective has disappeared, I'll assign you a new mission."
