My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 77 Guests
The door closed, leaving the three children alone, two of them sitting on the plain white bed;

The other stood quietly at the entrance, his back against the closed door.

Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling put their heads together, raised their eyebrows, opened their eyes wide, and looked curiously at the boy's wolf ears and the tail that grew so long that it circled the ground.

"He looks like a dog." Kong Youling wrote on the notebook.

Ji Minghuan nodded nonchalantly.

In fact, putting aside these inhuman parts, Firion looks more like a mixed-race person, with delicate and three-dimensional facial features, but his hair and pupils are black.

For a moment, the three people in the cell looked at each other. Whoever came last would definitely be embarrassed. Firion didn't know what to do and could only stand there stupidly.

"Ah, there's a big dog!" Ji Minghuan pointed at Firion's tail dragging on the ground and suddenly shouted.

The dead silence in the prison cell was broken by these inexplicable words.

Kong Youling was stunned for a second.

Firion was also stunned.

Under the hair that almost covered his eyes, his cold expression collapsed for a moment, revealing a hint of panic and evasion - it seemed that he had been locked up here for a long time and didn't know how to get along with children of the same age, especially when they were pointing at him.

The next second, Ji Minghuan got off the bed barefoot, swaggered in front of Firion, and greeted him:
"Hello, can I touch your tail? I heard that in Africa, dogs use their tails instead of shaking hands."

"Stay...stay away from me." Firion said, with a hint of ferocity in his pupils.

Ji Minghuan frowned immediately: "Please...is it necessary to be so fierce?"

He turned his face away and pretended to be magnanimous: "Call me boss, I will protect you in this laboratory, no other kid dares to treat you badly..."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "I'm telling you, if I were to hang myself right here, even my mentor would have to kneel down and beg me not to die."

"Rejected. We won't give you the chance to hang yourself... but we might get you to kneel down and beg you not to die."

The instructor's voice came from the radio and echoed throughout the prison cell.

His tone was gentle, as if a good-tempered professor had suddenly interrupted a college student debate and chatted and laughed with them.

Ji Minghuan curled his lips and thought to himself, we are just kids chatting, why are you, an adult, joining in the fun?
But the next second, his expression changed again, and he said smugly, "Did you hear that? My instructor said he would kneel down and beg me not to die. Do you know who's the most powerful person in this lousy place? Do you know? Do you know?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Firion's shoulder.

He did this on purpose, wanting to see if the mentor would shock him with the collar after touching Firion's body, but obviously, this did not happen. Now he understood why the people of the Savior Society forbade them from touching each other when he wanted to touch Kong Youling's hair.
Because at that time most of the people in the Salvation Society had not yet found a way to suppress psychic abilities, so they were worried that Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling would enter each other's spiritual world and communicate privately beyond their sight.

Now, they probably have mastered the corresponding means, so they allowed Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling to have physical contact under their noses.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ji Minghuan's hand on Firion's shoulder was slapped away with a "pop".

"Don't touch me!" Firion's tone became even colder.

Ji Minghuan drooped his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "I'm not going to play with you anymore. You're making me look like a bad guy."

Not far away, Kong Youling couldn't hear what the instructor said on the radio, but she could tell from the shape of Ji Minghuan's lips what Ji Minghuan and Firio were talking about.

Under the cold light, she blinked her red eyes and looked at Ji Minghuan's back.

Only Kong Youling knew why Ji Minghuan suddenly became so active, like a completely different person:

He used to be like this too. In order to prevent the children from the orphanage from bothering her, he would always pretend to be a little kid in front of them and drive them away.

When they were in the library before, Ji Minghuan said to her while reading:
"Children are the worst. They don't understand anything, so they can do anything and don't care about other people's feelings at all... let alone these poorly educated children in orphanages. So, don't take their ill intentions as your own problem."

After many days, Ji Minghuan showed another familiar side of Kong Youling: when he met a stranger, he pretended to be a naughty child, no matter who the other person was or what the consequences were, he would go up to the stranger and throw a tantrum without saying a word.

He protected Kong Youling behind him and attracted everyone's attention.

Over time, everyone will forget that he was just a child who liked to read quietly. Maybe... even he himself has forgotten what he was like originally?
At this moment, Ji Minghuan stared into Firio's eyes, obviously not very reassured about this uninvited guest.

But the instructor insisted that they make friends with Firion, and the reason was very simple upon closer inspection:
Demons...it sounds like they are not easy creatures to educate. The mentor hopes that Firion has a friend of the same age so that he can be more emotionally stable.

Ji Minghuan knew very well that he was the most important person here. If this little werewolf really went crazy and bit someone, the instructor would definitely drag him out immediately.
So, he put on a childish attitude of "school is my home" and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down, big dog... You're late, the VIP bed is already taken, but there are chairs over there."

After saying that, he sat back next to Kong Youling.

"Who is he?"

Kong Youling wrote in the notebook for Ji Minghuan to see. "His name is Firion, the child of a human and a demon."

"demon?"

Kong Youling obviously had not heard anything about exorcists from his mentor.

"Well... just think of him as the child of Pleasant Goat mother and Big Bad Wolf father. Then he turned wolfish and ate Pleasant Goat mother. Then Big Bad Wolf father got so angry that he kicked him out of the Green Grassland and banished him from the Wolf family forever."

Ji Minghuan made up a bunch of nonsense and lowered his voice so that Firion couldn't hear him.

Under the gaze of the two, Firion silently found a corner against the wall and sat down, hugging his knees with his hands.

He hung his head, staring at the floor, his eyes becoming as empty as before.

It looks pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.

Kong Youling pinched the corner of Ji Minghuan's clothes.

Ji Minghuan ignored her.

She pinched the corner of Ji Minghuan's clothes again.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Ji Minghuan said with some impatience, silently got up from the bed, and sat down by the wall with Firion;
Kong Youling also came over and sat on Ji Minghuan's right, holding the sketchbook without saying a word.

"Can I ask you a question?" Ji Minghuan turned his head and looked at Firio.

Firion was silent for a long time, as if remembering his mentor's advice to him, and then he slowly spoke:
"You said."

"How did you get into my bedroom? I don't even know what it looks like outside."

The reason why Ji Minghuan didn't ask Kong Youling was because he was worried that she would be punished - it didn't matter to Firio. On the one hand, he was not familiar with him and there was no need to worry about him. On the other hand, he was a demon child after all, with thick skin and flesh.

Firion thought for a moment and said, "When you walk out of your bedroom, the lights in the hallway are so bright that you can't open your eyes. I followed the instructions on the radio and walked for a long time until I finally reached your bedroom. I couldn't see anything else."

Hearing this, Ji Minghuan turned around and glanced at Kong Youling.

She nodded her head slightly. It seemed that both she and Fiorio had come from their "bedroom" in this way - Kong Youling's eyes were sensitive to light, and it was impossible for her to see the way back in the overexposed light.

However, he did not expect to learn the structure of the laboratory from the two of them.

At least I knew that there was a long, winding corridor outside the detention room, and I also knew that this corridor was connected to the bedrooms of the children who were detained there.

When the day comes to attack the Salvation Society, Ji Minghuan will liberate the children here one by one, open the inhibitors on them, and let the "gentle" adults taste the feeling of reaping the fruits of their own actions.

After thinking for a while, Ji Minghuan asked again: "Can you transform, like a Saiyan transforms into a gorilla?"

"As long as I take the medicine regularly, I won't transform." Firion said. Although his tone was cold, one could hear a hint of timidity in it.

"That's great." Ji Minghuan nodded with satisfaction. "My mentor told me that you were sent here when you were very young. Is that true?"

Firion remained silent and nodded slightly.

"Don't you miss your family?" Ji Minghuan deliberately avoided the "mother" he had eaten.

"Didn't you hear from your mentor?" Firion lowered his head even more.

"What did you hear?"

"I ate Mom... Dad must be very angry. I'm afraid he'll find me and eat me." Firion whispered, "It's good to hide here. I don't have to contact anyone. If it weren't for the instructor's insistence, I wouldn't see you. So... you'd better not come near me. I'm afraid I'll eat you."

Even though your father is angry, he is still looking for you all over the world, silly child, even though he is still committing crimes of burning, killing and looting... Ji Minghuan shrugged, teasing in his heart.

"Then don't you miss him?" Ji Minghuan asked.

"I'm a monster, and monsters only belong here..." Firion said, "Only the mentor is willing to accept me, only he is willing to treat me as a human being, everyone else hates me."

He paused, buried his head in his arms around his knees, and whispered:

"To me...the mentor is like my father."

Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.

After a moment, he raised his head and sighed deeply towards the ceiling, thinking: Devil Queen, please come and save me! Your son has already recognized the thief as his father! If you don't come, this family will really fall apart!
