Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 690

Chapter 690 Chapter

176. Fate for two (4)

* * *

One year at Draka’s headquarters One year at the Tower of Stories.

During the two years that he was imprisoned, Kelliac and other family leaders often conciliated Hedo directly, and Hedo was treated almost like an honored guest, except for the fact that the form was confinement.

It was because Kelliac had treated Hedo that way.

He wanted to make Hedo a Ziffle person without using mind manipulation as much as possible.

No matter how much mental manipulation develops in the future, it was thought that the value of Hedo would decrease the moment it was added.

Of course, Hedo didn’t respond to Kelliac’s sincerity either.

Kelliac even loosened the restraints on Hedo so he could just go outside again. They even promised not to retaliate unless they went out and joined Runcandel, but Hedo did not leave.

“You’re saying I’ll give you freedom, but you mean you don’t even like that?”

Kelliac couldn’t figure out what had driven Hedo so desperately.

Nor did he know that outside the world was simply a hell that he could neither comprehend nor mix with.

Rather, Hedo was perfectly adapted to the meaningless days spent in prison. Until then, there had been no better condition in his life.

“…Sorry. In the end, even this was rejected, so you will now be moved to the laboratory building. But even there, if you change your mind at any time, ask the person in charge. He wants to talk to me.”

In this way, Hedo was transferred to ‘Experiment Building 12’, which existed near the Tower of the Midnight Sun in the Sota Desert.

At the time, the general manager of Experimental Building 12 was a person named ‘This Room’, and he was a person with high notoriety among the test subjects as torture under the guise of experiments.

“hey. When you were in the Tower of Stories with Drakkar, it seems that the god of wealth took care of you, but here I am the god. Unless he descended here himself. Hmm… I’m a bit worried about how to treat you. Should I do it according to my personality or should I do it in moderation considering the head of the household?”

This was the first time I had ever seen Hedo. Hedo didn’t even listen to him.

“I like the latter. Still, it’s a test subject that the god of humanity is watching, but it’s a bit disrespectful to treat it too carelessly. Beating me to start with the nice old-fashioned things.”

From that day on, he assaulted Hedo every day.

It is inherently impossible for a superman to be hurt by the bludgeoning of a criminal or a wizard who is not an unmanned person.

However, Hedo at the time was not the body of the Black Sea days due to long refusal to eat. It looked like a thin giant and even had restraints to reduce its strength, so it was no different from a well-trained ordinary soldier.

Hedo did not resist even once.

Didn’t even scream. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel pain at all, but there was no need to show signs of suffering.

“No. 118! You’re used to the pain, right? Let’s see if your snout doesn’t open again today.”

This time was typically crazy. He regarded Hedo’s unresponsiveness as defiance, and the more he focused on the displeasure resulting from it, the more he forgot that Hedo was a test subject sent by Kelliac.

In other words, he began to deviate from the line he was trying to protect. This time, the torture and fasting, which increased in intensity, crippled Hedo in an instant.

Not long ago, the strong body that tore apart the monsters of the Black Sea mercilessly, defeated the challengers who came to Shiron, and stood side by side with his dark knights was completely over.

Its limbs remained motionless, like a withered tree, and its aura-generating body organs were permanently damaged and unable to function properly.

Eventually, the fact that Hedo was alive was barely recognizable by the babbling that came up on his hard tongue regardless of his will.

Ironically, when the situation reached that point, this time he seemed to be engulfed in fear.

“Damn… What have I done! Are you saying it really can’t be fixed?”

“I’m sorry this time. Number 118 is currently impossible to regenerate without the divine object of Numerus. Besides, if it continues like this, it won’t be long before you die. I have to report it to the upper level…”

“Report? report? This baby is trying to fuck. It’s not number 118 that dies, it’s you. How dare you… As of the present time, you are subject number 145.”

“This time? Oh, no!”

This time, Hedo’s condition was not known to the upper management. Those who were aware of the torture were demoted to test subjects, and every effort was made to prevent Hedo from dying.

However, there was no way that the situation would improve since he even made a person who originally had no will to live to that point.

Sooner or later, if an audit comes out from the upper level, it is only a matter of time before the situation becomes known. This time, I was in trouble as I spent my anxious days every day.

‘When I first took delivery of the 118, there was only one special instruction given to me. If number 118 asks to see the head of household, listen to it. He didn’t do that after all, so wouldn’t it matter if I killed him? It wouldn’t be a problem to report death during an experiment… Damn there’s no way. The patriarch will directly punish me.’

It is impossible to prevent Hedo’s death.

In the end, this time, after thinking about it, I chose to pass the responsibility on to someone else in the lab. It is to the only test subject he can’t treat carelessly in the lab building.

‘No. 109… I’ll have to say Sandra Ziple killed it.’

Subject number 109 given to Sandra.

At that time, no one called Sandra by her number in Laboratory 12. Although she was a test subject, she was a pure-blooded Jeep, and all the researchers in the lab called her a lady and treated her like a superior.

Of course, behind such consideration was hatred and ridicule. She couldn’t be treated carelessly because she was a pure-blooded Jeep, but she was like an annoying pet in the laboratory.

He keeps going around the lab building without any restrictions and making accidents, but he can’t be abused like other experiment subjects.

That was the 109th Sandra Ziple back then.

“this time! They said they found me. Did you get any new snacks?”

“Oh lady. Are you here?”

“Do you have any snacks!”

“Haha, of course, a new snack has arrived. Have you ever heard of sugar?”

“sugar?”

“It is a powder that tastes very sweet when eaten. Now here… Oh, if you eat it like that… It’s a vulgar act.”

“Sweet! What is shallow?”

“Well, you may not know. And new toys are ready.”

“Toys? Is it my birthday today?”

“Every day is your birthday, lady. But there is one thing to be aware of.”

“What?”

“You can’t kill me like the toy I gave you last time. That means you shouldn’t twist or stab your neck with something if you don’t listen.”

Since Sandra had already undergone some organic golem transformation, she possessed incredible physical strength for a five-year-old.

Due to that power, she has killed several test subjects, but it was an accident caused by this time and the researchers’ prank rather than her will.

Poke it, lady. Yes, if you’re not compliant, you’ll do it. Sandra used to obey without hesitation.

She had an unusual temperament, but to her, Lab 12 was everything in the world. Since the time when her ego was formed, she has only seen, heard, and learned in the laboratory building.

This time, I wanted to use Sandra’s frog-like side. It seemed that the playfulness peculiar to children, who said not to do it and did not do it when told to do it, would be helpful.

“Remember, lady. Never ever hit or kill. Just pet and love.”

“Love you? what is that. Speak in a way I can understand, don’t talk like an asshole!”

“…hmm. Patting my hair, talking to me… or holding back even when I’m annoyed. something like that Let’s wait for toys. Let’s go.”

That was the first meeting between Hedo and Sandra.

“Hello number 118?”

Of course, Hedo didn’t react and Sandra ended up beating Hedo on the first day.

So this time, he felt that his choice was excellent, but the problem was that Hedo did not die despite her frequent assaults.

Hedo even regained some energy.

Even so, they could not move their bodies and only babble, occasionally spitting out completed words or words, but their predictions that they could never recover without the curse of Numerus were wrong.

“Hey, are you dead or alive? If you’re dead, if you’re dead or alive, answer me. I always try to play with you.”

“go away.”

“Ooh, get pissed off! Tear your mouth and twist your neck… No, hold it in. Because I have to love you! But only two are correct. no threes! what died? hide away See you tomorrow!”

Such bizarre days continued. The longer that time went on, the more irritable this time.

‘It’s to the point where I feel like 109 is making fun of me every day. Number 118 is too persistent than I thought…’

When I had that thought, I locked Sandra and Hedo in containment room 118. With the intention of killing Hedo before she can overcome the stress of Sandra being imprisoned, she will only open it.

‘Now, number 109 will really end number 118. If that happens, even the higher ups won’t be able to investigate properly.’

“…I’ve never heard of a worse story since I was born, Top Keeper.”

Jin wanted to ask. Why was he able to remain loyal to Zipple even after going through such a thing?

However, he kept quiet when he remembered that the target he was loyal to was not Ziffle but Sandra Ziffle.

“Everyone has their nightmares. You don’t even know now that those days were a nightmare. Perhaps… if time had passed, the lady might have killed me in the end, as she intended this time.”

Now that Hedo is here, of course, the plan failed this time.

It was because a few days after he and Sandra were quarantined together, Laboratory 12 was attacked by Runcandel.

“At that time, it was your mother, the Black Panther, who attacked Experiment Building 12.”

“Rosa?”

On the day she attacked, Lab 12 was completely ruined.

All data was discarded, and it was impossible for the researchers and wizards remaining in the lab to even hold out against her until the main unit’s support came.

At that time, the entire laboratory was vibrating like crazy as if it would collapse at any moment.

Sandra screamed as she hugged the fallen Hedo.

“He said don’t worry, he’ll protect you.”

i will protect you

It was the first story Hedo had heard since he was born. He had never heard such obvious words in his previous life in orphanages, Black Sea dungeons, and labs. It’s because his life wasn’t natural.

I don’t know what the heck he’s going to protect me from, but Hedo suddenly had the idea to live.

I will live the rest of my life for this strange girl.

On that day, Hedo stepped out of the animal life and stepped into the human path for the first time.
