I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 2 Baby, you must grow up healthy

"Honey, I can't wait any longer."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xing'an heard Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and his father's words again.

A cold feeling came from my back.

This time is closer than last time
but……

So tired, so tired, so tired...

Lin Xing'an wanted to open his eyes, but the exhaustion from his soul prevented him from even doing the most basic thinking.

Returning to the minutes before his death twice in a row had drained all his strength from his body.

Lin Xing'an could clearly feel that if he died again this time, he would bid farewell to this world completely...

He didn't even have the strength to breathe anymore, without even dying again.

I really want to sleep...

He just felt like he fell into the water.

Falling and falling in the darkness...

"Baby? Ah! Baby! Why are you having a baby? Husband, come and take a look!"

"Don't scare mom! Baby, don't scare mom!"

In the chaos, Lin Xing'an vaguely heard his mother's anxious and self-blaming cries.

There was a cry in the voice.

"He was fine just now, how could he suddenly become like this? His heartbeat..."

“There’s still time!!”

Dad was equally anxious.

"No! This is our first one, we can't just make do with it!"

"If you miss the full moon, just wait until he's seven!"

The mother hugged Lin Xing'an tightly and said while wiping her tears.

"Alright, alright."

"Then I'll drive the baby to the hospital now! Honey, wait for me downstairs!"

Dad swallowed and nodded.

"Yeah! Baby, hold on! Mommy is here, Mommy is here..."

"Grow up quickly and be healthy, baby..."

Fragmented sounds kept flashing in Lin Xing'an's mind.

These two monsters actually treat humans as livestock...

A sense of sadness emerged in Lin Xing'an's heart.

What on earth are they?
How do they disguise themselves as humans?
Didn’t anyone notice?

The sound in my ears is getting smaller and smaller.

Lin Xing'an finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted completely.

……

"Hey, grandma, why are your ears so big?"

"To listen to you better, dear."

"But grandma, why are your eyes so big?"

"To see you more clearly, dear."

"Grandma, why is your mouth so big?"

“That’s because…!”

Lin Xing'an opened his eyes in a daze and found himself lying in the hospital.

There was a needle stuck in his forehead.

His mother sat beside him, patting him with one hand and holding a storybook in the other, softly telling him the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

After just one glance, Lin Xing'an felt a wave of fatigue coming over him again.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was dark.

Although Lin Xing'an could still feel the fatigue after overdrawing, he had recovered.

The needle in his forehead had been removed, and Lin Xing'an also stretched his body.

I turned my head and saw my mother sleeping on the edge of the bed.

Her eyes were red and a little swollen, and her face was full of fatigue. It was obvious that she hadn't closed her eyes for a long time before falling asleep.

Anyone who sees this scene can feel the mother's deep love and worry for her child.

But Lin Xing'an only felt nausea and palpitations.

I thought I was born into a good family, but it turned out to be a monster playing house...

In this situation, he would rather be an orphan.

Lin Xing'an sighed softly.

How could he survive these two monsters?

Kill them?
Oh? I'm going?

Report them?

It's too difficult. Not to mention that his words are insignificant, these two monsters are so well disguised.

Not to mention deceiving others, I guess even they themselves are about to believe it.

Dad even became the attending physician.

"Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one." Lin Xing'an thought about it and decided that escaping was the most reasonable option.

But no matter what, his main goal now is to survive and grow up.

He looked at his little hands and feet and sighed.

He was at least five or six years old before he had the ability to escape from home on his own.

During this period, try to understand the habits of these two monsters as much as possible.

As for the ability to return to a few minutes before death after death...

Lin Xing'an subconsciously touched his chest.

This ability is linked to his physical strength.

For the first time he was still breathing.

The second time he really felt like he was going to be worked to death.

If these two monsters hadn't wanted to have a good meal, Lin Xing'an would have already been playing the resurrection match.

"Is there no permanent practical ability for me..."

"Invisibility? Teleportation? Enlargement? Flying?"

"If all else fails, I can just use a random system to deal with it."

Lin Xing'an closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

As he was reciting, he fell asleep again.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Lin Xing’an was woken up by his father’s voice.

"Old Xu, this time it's all thanks to you."

Lao Xu?

Lin Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his father said that he was able to get him thanks to the relationship with Old Xu.

"Shh! Yuyu just fell asleep."

"Alas, my sister-in-law has been really hard-working these past two days. The child is fine now. Just go home and rest."

This Old Xu had a heavy voice like a smoker, and Lin Xing'an felt him touching his forehead.

"Old Xu, I don't blame you for advising me before. Raising a child is really not easy."

Dad tucked the corner of the quilt for Lin Xing'an and sighed.

"It's certainly not easy, but watching them grow up from such a young age is also quite happy."

"Well, I don't have any expectations. As long as my child is healthy and happy, that's enough."

Lin Xing'an could feel their gazes sweeping over him.

The originally warm words now made him feel only chills.

Old Xu probably doesn't know that the person standing in front of him is a man-eating monster.

Lin Xing'an was just thinking about it when Old Xu's voice came faintly from the window.

"You missed the full moon. Are you and your sister-in-law planning to raise him until he's seven?"

"As long as he doesn't find out, he'll be seven."

"Seven years old is better. You two are still a little anxious."

Old Xu stared at Lin Xing'an and swallowed his saliva. "As for my daughter, I plan to wait until she turns eighteen. It's almost time, almost..."

dong dong dong...

For a moment, Lin Xing'an felt as if his blood had frozen.

This Old Xu...is actually a monster...

And it seems that he is using his position to provide newborn babies for monsters...

So how many monsters are hidden in this world?

How many children are still being kept as livestock?
Who are the people around me? Who are the monsters?

The more Lin Xing'an thought about it, the colder he felt on his back.

The body also became a little stiff.

"This child..."

As if noticing Lin Xing'an's unnaturalness, Old Xu showed a hint of suspicion on his face.

He leaned over, his eyes piercing Lin Xing'an like needles.

"You... can understand?"

Old Xu's heavy, smoky voice came faintly from Lin Xing'an's ears.

That chilling feeling faintly spread again...

"Did the kid have a nightmare?"

Dad picked up Lin Xing'an and patted his back gently.

"Old Xu, it's just a one-month-old baby, how could it possibly understand?"

"Haha, that's right, I'm just too sensitive."

Seeing Lin Xing'an's body gradually relax, Old Xu scratched his head and said, "Just wait until tomorrow morning and you can be discharged directly from the hospital. I'll go on duty first. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After watching Old Xu leave, Dad gently placed Lin Xing'an on the bed and looked at him silently.

After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Baby, mommy and daddy will always be by your side."

"You must, you must grow up healthy..."

“Slurp…”
