But this beautiful little girl lay motionless on the bed...

173. Actually, I'm a doctor.

Lin Yu was stunned the moment he saw the little girl. Her abnormally pale skin stood out against her long black hair. Only her eyes were full of vitality, but her body was like a withered flower. Lin Yu could hardly believe that the body of a cursed child could be so bad!

"Is the older brother a friend of the older sister?"

The little girl lying on the bed looked at Lin Yu's face with curious eyes, perhaps because Lin Yu was still holding her 'sister's' hand and hadn't let go.

"Yes, they're best friends!"

Lin Yu smiled gently, then led the white-haired girl to the bedside.

"Brother, can I take a look at your hands?"

Lin Yu gently brushed aside the bangs on the girl's forehead, his tone unusually gentle, as if afraid of frightening the child.

"But..." the little girl seemed hesitant, "My hands are ugly."

"Your brother is a doctor, maybe he can help you get better!"

Without waiting for the girl's consent, Lin Yu slightly lifted the thin blanket covering her. The moment he saw the girl's arm, he felt a surge of heat rush to his brain. Even with his self-control, he could hardly control the eruption of the Flame of Sin. For a moment, he even thought of simply destroying the world so that so much evil would not be born.

"Who did this?"

Lin Yu's voice was filled with anger and heartache. What appeared before him was an arm with joints twisted beyond recognition. What chilled him to the bone was that even the little girl's fingers were twisted and deformed, and only their original shape could be roughly discerned.

The children of the curse are immune to illness and possess extremely strong regenerative abilities; they can gradually recover from injuries that would be fatal to ordinary people.

However! The body of the cursed child has no memory function!

It's true that their bodies recover quickly after an injury, but if joint injuries are not corrected in time, they will only become deformed even after recovery. Lin Yu could hardly imagine how much torment this little girl had suffered to make every joint in her hand look like this!

Lifting the thin blanket, the little girl's almost identical limbs were revealed to Lin Yu and the others who had come with him.

Her knuckles, wrists, and elbows were all twisted and deformed. If you didn't see her face, almost no one would believe that these were the hands of a little girl!

"Surprised?"

This time, it wasn't the little girl who spoke, but the rough-looking but kind-hearted owner of the grocery store.

"This girl's limbs were forcibly broken like this by her own parents. Can you believe it? Those two poor bastards were just using her as a tool to vent their anger. They tortured her to the point of near death before dumping her nearby. Anyway, no one cares about the cursed child. The police left after they did some research. They didn't even check if the girl was still alive before classifying her death as natural causes."

The boss took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but after glancing at the little girl on the bed, he put it back.

"If this little blind man hadn't heard the commotion and picked her up, she probably would have starved to death long ago."

The fierce-looking boss calmly looked at Lin Yu and his group.

"I don't know what your purpose is in coming here. If you're here to cause trouble, I'll take it. These two kids are already pitiful enough; they can't take any more trouble."

No one chose to interrupt him. After the grocery store owner finished speaking, he glared at Lin Yu. He could tell that Lin Yu was the one in charge among this group of strange people.

"Don't worry, we mean no harm. Have you ever seen anyone do something bad while leading a group of children?"

After learning that the two little girls had survived thanks to the secret help of the general store owner, Lin Yu's attitude remained very good. You see, these children did not receive the erosion rate suppression drugs issued by the IISO organization, which means that their erosion rate would be much faster than that of cursed children like Enju, and they might even turn into Gastrea at any time. If that happened, the owner would be the first to be harmed.

"So what are you here for?"

The boss frowned. He had long felt that these people were strange, but he couldn't do anything about it without knowing their purpose.

"Of course we're here to help, didn't I tell you?"

Lin Yu turned to look at the little girl lying on the bed and smiled, "I'm a doctor!"

Before the shop owner could understand what Lin Yu meant, he placed his hand on the little girl's body.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The boss immediately yelled, thinking Lin Yu was going to do something to the poor child, but the pure white light that shone in the somewhat dark room the next second stunned him.

"What, what is this?"

A rich and holy white light enveloped the little girl's entire body. Lin Yu's Divine Healing Technique could not be directly used on the white-haired girl and Tina, who had 'foreign objects' in their bodies, but the black-haired girl on the bed was different. She was only deformed because her joints had not been corrected after the injury, which was exactly within the scope of the Divine Healing Technique!

"It feels so warm."

The little girl instinctively wanted to open her arms to better enjoy the feeling. Having been lying motionless in bed for so long, she had long forgotten what it felt like to open her arms, but!

"How is this possible!"

The boss's already large eyes widened even more as he stared in disbelief at the little girl who, in his memory, had never made a single move, stretching out her arms as if she were yawning!

The light gradually faded, and even the little girl herself was stunned, blankly stretching her hands in front of her eyes and rubbing them.

"My hand can move again!"

Her joints had been repeatedly abused, and each injury went uncorrected, causing them to become swollen and unable to perform even the simplest movements. But now, she can move again.

With her palms outstretched in front of her eyes, the little girl could hardly believe that these beautiful hands were her own. Just a minute ago, these hands were barely recognizable as human hands.

"Eyes, eyes, big brother, you're so amazing, you can definitely help my sister restore her eyes too, right?"

After the joy subsided, the little girl grabbed Lin Yu's hand with a pleading and expectant look in her eyes. She hadn't forgotten that while her own body had recovered, her sister's eyes were still wrapped in white cloth!

"Don't worry, your sister's eyes are a bit complicated, but your brother will definitely find a way to restore them."

After comforting the little girl for a couple of minutes, Lin Yu walked up to the general store owner and said with a smile, "See? I told you I meant no harm, didn't I?"

174. A sniper bullet fired from who-knows-where!

readx(); "Looks like I need to excuse myself for a moment."

Looking at the high-end limousine that seemed out of place on this remote street, Lin Yu turned to the owner of the grocery store and said...

The grocery store owner's surname was Yuanshan, and Lin Yu had forgotten his given name. Anyway, Lin Yu was determined not to let go of someone who had no prejudice against the cursed child and was even willing to take the risk of raising him.

Although the school is now being used as a refuge, and Lin Yu has secretly instructed the Holy Emperor to transfer the cursed children from the outer districts here, there are not many people he can trust to take charge. The elders are too old to be overworked, and he and Shana are busy with other things, which has instead troubled Xia Shi, that girl with an off-the-charts IQ.

Yuanshan may look rugged, but he is very meticulous in taking care of the two girls for so long, which can be seen from the arrangement of their belongings. Therefore, Lin Yu directly recruited him.

At first, Yuanshan was not very willing, but after Lin Yu revealed his identity, he readily agreed. He was even too lazy to clean up his little shop. In his own words, "If it weren't for taking care of the two little girls, who would be willing to live in that godforsaken place!"

As soon as Lin Yu entered the room, he saw that the Holy Emperor was surrounded by a group of Cursed Children, who seemed to be talking about something. The atmosphere seemed quite nice. The Holy Emperor was not arrogant at all, and it was clear that although he hadn't been with these children for long, he got along very well with them.

Upon noticing someone at the door, the Holy Emperor turned his gaze over, and the smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a very serious expression.

"Everyone, let's go out and have some fun. This lady seems to have something to say to her brother."

After the little girls had all left the large room that had been used as a playroom, the Holy Emperor took a deep breath and said to Lin Yu, "Uncle, why did you say those things? Like, no longer protecting Tokyo..."

The Holy Emperor's expression was somewhat complicated. Back when she was only 6 years old, Lin Yu and Xia Na were already the guardians of this city. But now, the two guardians had publicly declared that they would no longer take action for the Tokyo area. Such news was hard to accept.

"Is it hard to understand?" dudu1();

Lin Yu shrugged and then looked at the closed doorway.

"The two little girls I just brought back, one had her eyes filled with lead by her biological mother, and the other had her limbs broken and reassembled countless times by her parents. Even I can't imagine how many times this happened for a child's joints to swell to twice their original size!"

As Lin Yu himself said, he really didn't know how that little girl managed to get through it; he couldn't imagine the pain of being cruelly hurt by her loved ones time and time again.

"how so!"

Although she hadn't witnessed it firsthand, the Holy Emperor believed Lin Yu wouldn't lie to her, meaning that such an inhumane act had indeed occurred! And it had happened right here in the Tokyo region under her rule!

How ironic that, as the head of the Tokyo region, she had been pushing for new laws to protect Gastrea, the children of the curse, but her people were dismissive of them.

"If you've come here to tell me the monolith has been eroded, then forget it. No one in this school, including myself, will participate in the fight!"

Lin Yu's straightforward words were resolute. The Holy Emperor had been hoping that Lin Yu was unaware of the matter, but that hope was shattered mercilessly.

"Some people deserve what they get, but what about the innocent people? Uncle, are you just going to stand by and watch innocent people in the Tokyo area die at the hands of Gastrea?"

The Holy Emperor still asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"Innocent?" Lin Yu scoffed. "They're just a tiny minority. I'll pray for them."

Lin Yu's uncompromising attitude caused the Holy Emperor's chest to heave violently, and he turned his gaze to Shana, who had not said a word.

"Does Shana think so too?"

The Holy Emperor suddenly stood up and met Shana's gaze. She hoped to see the result she wanted in Shana's eyes.

However, Shana responded with a firm nod. Leaving aside the fact that Shana knew Lin Yu's entire plan, what she had seen and heard during this period alone had already made her feel no goodwill towards the humans of this world. As for the question of how many people would die…

In her original world, every single day, tens of thousands of people were devoured by the Crimson Denizens. As long as she didn't know anyone, the death toll was truly just a number she didn't care about at all!

"I understand."

The Holy Emperor's expression returned to calm, but the usual warmth was gone, as if he had suddenly become a stranger.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

The Holy Emperor bowed slightly to Lin Yu and Xia Na before walking out, treating them as if they were strangers.

"Don't underestimate the power of others. Even without us in the Tokyo area, we've still made it through these past ten years, haven't we?"

Lin Yu uttered these words just as the Holy Emperor was about to open the door. Her movements froze slightly, and without replying, she opened the door and left, though her steps were noticeably lighter as she departed.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings? Can't you tell her some of your plans?"

Shana rolled her eyes at Lin Yu, seemingly annoyed, as if blaming him for treating the Holy Emperor like an outsider. Hmm, it seems this girl is showing more and more potential to be a virtuous wife and loving mother lately. She would never have shown such a coquettish look before.

"We can handle some things ourselves, let's save that girl some trouble."

Lin Yu shrugged innocently.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. You've had a hard day. I'll go get everyone something good to eat and then get some rest. It'll only get busier later."

As Lin Yu spoke, he left the room and walked into the classroom that had been converted into a kitchen not far away. There was a whole bunch of little girls there, eagerly waiting to be fed. He had already decided which adorable little girl he would catch to feed her later.

Well, figuring out who to catch without getting chopped up by Shana is a skill in itself, but that's no problem for Lin Yu. Luckily, today he brought back... cough, the white-haired loli he brought back today is blind, which is a perfectly legitimate excuse. Plus, she only knows how to laugh, so her personality is definitely fine. It's the perfect opportunity to strike!

As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry," and after careful planning, Lin Yu's scheme succeeded. Xia Na could only glare at Lin Yu with murderous eyes and remain silent. As for whether it was a gain or a loss, it was hard to say. What if they settled accounts later?

However, Lin Yu will not consider any of these for the time being, since what he needs to deal with most right now is the sniper bullet that shot at his head after he fell asleep!
