Chapter 230
Seeing the strange infant on the platter clearly, Shen Ge felt a strong urge to voice a certain unprintable phrase. If he weren’t a future adult’s soul inhabiting this body, the mind of a mere ten-year-old child would never withstand such a fright and would likely spill everything that happened last night truthfully and completely.
However, two things puzzled Shen Ge. First, was this strange infant really so easily “contained”? Last night, while hiding by the rooftop door with Sanzai, he hadn’t heard any sounds of combat, which was completely inconsistent with the infant’s combat power from his first visit to the dream world.
Second, what did Dr. Chen mean by showing him the infant? To “intimidate” this ten-year-old child, trying to get the real story?
Or was it simply a show of force, telling him that even a Freak of this level could be easily contained by Rongshan Mental Hospital?
Fortunately, when Shen Ge recounted the previous night’s events, he did so from the angle of a “dream.” Aside from some crucial details, about sixty to seventy percent of the process was true, skillfully mixing truth with falsehood. Even with surveillance, Dr. Chen would find it hard to distinguish truth from lie.
Most importantly, Shen Ge’s current appearance as a “ten-year-old child” was the best disguise. Even if everything he said now were lies, he could brush it off as being scared out of his wits.
“Y-yes… that’s… that’s the monster!” Shen Ge “fearedfully” shrank into the corner, pointing a trembling finger at the infant on the silver platter.
However, considering his previous “character portrayal,” he didn’t overact. His panic was mixed with a sense of forcing himself to stay composed, which actually made Dr. Chen and the others believe his story a bit more.
Dr. Chen said calmly, “You seemed quite calm yesterday when you pulled out the tubes from the female patient. Why are you so scared of this infant now?”
