Things had once again, for the third time, gone beyond Shu's expectations.
10 + 50... Shu wasn't a fool, and he didn't really believe in coincidences. As long as he wasn't a fool, he could understand the nature of the "scam" that had made Kiana react.
Wasn't that just the fare and food money he had borrowed from Kiana?!
"What else?" Shu's eyes widened. He leaned in close to Kiana's face, his eyes fixed on her, determined to capture every single change in her expression.
The result was quite horrifying.
"That's it," Kiana shook her head. "Neither Bianka nor I were scammed, and we monitored this report ourselves on the thirteenth underground level."
The thirteenth underground level?!
This location represented authority at this moment. Shu felt his heart stop. He turned his head to look at Bianka in disbelief.
What happened? Did I... did I really suddenly have a sixteen or seventeen-year-old daughter?!
As it turned out, this world was more absurd than one could imagine. Even though Shu had already understood this, he couldn't escape the cage of "insufficient imagination."
What hadn't he seen?
He really hadn't seen this.
How could his at most twenty-year-old body have a sixteen-year-old child?
Bianka was an artificial human? In fact, she might just be a baby like that Star Core spirit? Reasonable!
He hadn't even participated in this paternity test. Where did Kiana and Bianka get the data?
Otto was on the verge of dissecting him for research. It was normal for the database on the thirteenth underground level to have his genetic information. Reasonable!!
How did Kiana have his genes in her body?
Bianka was an artificial human, and everything else was Otto's doing...
Reasonable!! It was so f*cking reasonable!!
Shu felt like his brain had committed suicide the moment it had calculated this result. All that was left was the primitive urge to punch Otto in the face.
He supported whatever Otto did.
Sorry, he really couldn't support this, and he planned to give Otto a good one before Kallen did.
Shu's dazed gaze was met with Bianka's hopeful response. However, the [Hope] that had only ever given Shu strength in the past now made him shudder.
It was too weird, too absurd!
Shu took several deep breaths in a row. His lips trembled wildly. In the end, what came out was still self-deception: "There must be something wrong with this..."
"I heard that bananas and humans both have..."
"Oh, this is kinship genes. It seems to be specifically used to monitor heredity," Kiana easily shattered Shu's last struggle, making his head droop completely.
Reasonable—!!
These two words stabbed Shu's eyes more than "death sentence." Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine groundhogs were screaming in Shu's mind at the same time, and he was "The Scream" among them.
And the last straw that broke the camel's back was Kiana's next sentence, delivered with a hint of pride.
"Bianka and I are 99.9% related!" Kiana was very proud when she said this, as if a higher degree of relationship was something to be proud of.
This is a paternity test, not an affection meter, Kiana!!
What did Kiana mean?
Bianka was his and Kiana's child?!
So—rea—son—able!!
From which corner of the world was this theory dug out?! Gu Chu, is this your true way of challenging me?!
After his suicidal brain, Shu's frantic heart finally announced that it had stopped beating.
Shu crossed his hands in front of him, his fingers lightly resting on his shoulders. Then he fell straight back and closed his eyes peacefully on the bed.
The ups and downs of life were no more than this. Last night, he was still gloating over the [Hope] ability that Bianka had shown. But today...
Hiss... so that's where Bianka's [Hope] came from?!!
They all say that if you write your life story, you'll get a perfect score. But Shu felt that he could only give his life an 8.6.
Otto, what have you done?!!
I thought constituting history was your bottom line, but I didn't expect you to...
How am I supposed to face Kiana and Bianka in the future, you bastard!
The two of them watched as Shu raised his hand to cover his eyes. Faintly, they seemed to hear his scream.
The two looked at each other. Kiana felt that she had seen everything she wanted to see. It was time to help Shu out of his gloom...
"I'll be leaving for a bit," Shu had already made his decision as Kiana was about to explain how Bianka was born.
Otto had to take this punch today, no matter what. Since this guy was no longer human, he didn't have to abide by any gentleman's agreement. The correct solution was to go up and give him two good slaps.
Huh? Why is there a killing intent?
Kiana was startled. She really hadn't expected this reaction from Shu!
It was most likely directed at Otto, but no matter who Shu was going to kill, Kiana couldn't let him kill someone over this kind of thing.
So she decisively lunged forward and hugged Shu's leg before he could leave. "Wait!!"
Shu really stopped. Although Bianka felt that it wasn't because of Kiana's "wait," but more because of the sentence that followed—
"Actually, Bianka is not our child!"
Kiana, do you really know what you're saying?! Why has the situation turned into this kind of melodramatic development?!
No, I'm actually dreaming right now. I'm not awake yet. This is just a nightmare...
This was the last excuse Shu could come up with to comfort himself. But the weight on his leg was so real, the force of the arms wrapped around his thigh so firm, that Shu felt he couldn't drag her without using [Hope].
Damn it, this is reality.
Shu wanted to die. But this time, Kiana had learned to be smart. She knew she couldn't explain slowly anymore, as that would only deepen Shu's misunderstanding.
"Actually, Bianka is a person created by adjusting both of our genes!" Kiana remembered that this was more or less the final conclusion Mei and the others had come to. In a moment of panic, Kiana closed her eyes and shouted, directly throwing out the final conclusion.
Fréllei: "Actually, Bianka should have been born with Kiana's genes as a base. It's just that Shu's genes were added halfway as a postnatal adjustment. In essence, it's a kind of postnatal genetic modification."
Many times, listening carefully was a very necessary and excellent habit.
If one really didn't have the ability to listen or remember, then extensive knowledge was also necessary.
For example, right now, Shu happened to know one more reasonable summary of what Kiana was saying than she did.
[In vitro fertilization.]
