American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Marsden Hospital, located in London, should now be called the Royal Infirmary. However, just over a decade ago, it was merely a regular public hospital with relatively good medical facilities.

At that time, many pregnant women in London had the opportunity to give birth here.

Mike came here to find information about the real Adam.

He saw deep in the mind of the prime minister's child that Raphael had indeed come to this hospital with a baby, but that baby had been placed next door.

"What are we doing here? And won't your rough reading of that child's memories have any effect on him?" More than a decade has passed, and Raphael has forgotten that he has ever been to this drastically changed hospital.

Despite his kind nature, he was still worried about the children he had previously borne.

"Of course we came here to find the Son of Satan..." Mike briefly told Raphael and the other man what he had "seen," and then said, "As for the Prime Minister's child, he won't have any serious aftereffects. At most, he'll just have a headache for a few days."

With Mike's level of skill, he could, if he wanted, avoid harming innocent people.

The reason the child still had a headache was simply as punishment for his addiction to video games.

……

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who took care of that baby back then. How could you possibly have mistaken his parents?"

After hearing Mike's explanation, Crowley felt a little resentful towards his best friend.

Fortunately, Mike helped them this time. Otherwise, given Raphael's carelessness, the two of them might still be in the dark when the Son of Satan awakens and begins his plan to destroy the world.

"How can you blame me... There were so many pregnant women back then, how could I possibly keep an eye on them all..." Back then, Raphael needed to find a pregnant woman who had lost her child due to complications during childbirth, and also a relatively wealthy family.

This ensures that Little Adam can grow up smoothly and healthily while taking the place of the other child.

Given the tight schedule and heavy workload at the time, it's not surprising that Raphael encountered some problems.

"Okay, okay. It's not your fault..." Seeing his best friend's "aggrieved" look, Crowley finally softened and forgave him soon after, then said, "Well then, to make up for our mistake, let's help each other find the records from back then!"

……

“No need, I’ve already found it.” Mike couldn’t bear to watch the two, one an angel and the other a devil, "flirting" with each other. He picked up a file and said, “If the information is correct, that son of Satan was placed by Raphael in the home of a farmer surnamed Yang more than ten years ago…”

……

Chapter 492 Adam [Turns Dark]

“This is the woman. I think I entrusted little Adam to her back then…” Angel Raphael leaned over to examine the birth records from more than ten years ago. He vaguely remembered the mother in the file.

After checking the relevant records again, the kind angel said with remorse, "I might have made a mistake at the time. This mother's delivery bed was very close to that of the leader's wife..."

"The information shows that her family runs a small farm that's on the verge of bankruptcy. I wonder if little Adam will be able to grow up healthy..."

Even angels know that relatively wealthy families are more likely to raise outstanding children.

Mike, impatient, stopped the sentimental angel with a look and said, "The farm isn't far from here. We can go there and see for ourselves. But let me make this clear, I don't have that much time to waste with you guys..."

"If this son of evil has any intention of destroying the world, I will deal with him in my own way."

As for the method, it is of course to nip the crisis in the bud.

Seeing that Raphael had a different opinion, the great demon Crowley quickly pulled him back and shook his head slightly.

After all, based on our interactions, Mike doesn't seem to be someone who listens to advice.

Raphael, whose strength is inferior to others, might only end up "humiliating himself" if he voices his dissenting opinions now.

Then, the portal to the small farm reappeared...

……

Meanwhile, little Adam, who possesses both angelic and demonic blood, grew up on a simple farm and inherited his father's lively, cheerful, and optimistic personality.

And he, who plays with his friends in the wild every day, also has a healthy body.

At only fourteen years old, he already looks like a little adult and is the leader of the group of children.

However, this sunny and cheerful child has been having the same nightmare lately, in which he can clearly see various scenes of hell.

Over time, even he himself didn't realize that a violent tendency had been planted in his subconscious.

"Good dog, go fetch the ball!"

In the afternoon, on a flat, dry meadow in the woods, bathed in the warm winter sun, Adam was playing with his four friends.

There was also a well-behaved and adorable little white dog with them.

Five people and a dog are playing a fetch game.

[Angel Bloodline * Energy +1000]...[Demon Bloodline * Energy +1999]...[Flame Holy Sword * Energy +9999]...[Hellhound Bloodline * Energy +1000]...

"I'm not seeing things, am I? That's Cerberus! Satan has already started his plans..."

On a small hill on the other side of the woods, the great demon Crowley watched the little white dog running around happily, his expression turning serious.

Standing beside him were Mike and the angel Raphael.

The three had been there for a while since they came through the portal. Because they had activated their [invisibility] ability, the children playing, including the demon child Adam and the dog, hadn't noticed their presence.

“That child must be Adam from back then. I felt the power of angels emanating from him…” Angel Raphael also confirmed Adam’s identity.

However, his current expression wasn't much better than that of his good buddy Crowley.

Because this kind-hearted angel also sensed the presence of evil in Little Adam.

Moreover, that uncontrolled evil force showed signs of erupting at any moment.

“If you can, I hope you can help him. He’s still just a child…” Overwhelmed with compassion, Raphael once again turned to Mike for help.

It is clear that he, who believes in truth, goodness and beauty, still regards Mike, who possesses the power of faith, as "one of his own".

"Let's take another look." Mike, who had obtained several energy orbs, did not rush to make a move.

After all, he's not some kind of serial killer.

Moreover, the little Adam in front of me really doesn't seem like a bad person. He's sunny and cheerful, and he's much more pleasing to the eye than the Prime Minister's child.

Just then, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred among the children who were playing.

Little Adam held his puppy, a hint of lingering anger on his face. Opposite him was a chubby little boy who had been pushed to the ground, surrounded by his friends.

"Adam, you went too far! Sam just wanted to play with the dog, why did you push him down?" Among the children, a little girl with pigtails stood up to defend the chubby boy who had been bullied.

The chubby boy's name is Sam, and he's the child Adam pushed to the ground for no reason. He looks aggrieved and seems ready to cry at any moment.

"I...I..." Adam felt a little guilty looking at his friends' righteous indignation. However, a fleeting thought of violence prevented him from apologizing.

This was the same situation before, which caused him to develop violent emotions for no reason, leading him to push Sam, who was playing with him, down.

“This is my dog, Sam shouldn’t take away its right to play with me…” After a moment of silence, Adam hugged the puppy tightly, finding a reason for his behavior.

"You're just making excuses..." The little girl with pigtails was very angry when she saw that Adam was unwilling to admit his mistake.

She helped Sam up from the ground, then called to the other children, saying, "Let's go, we're not playing with that bullying Adam anymore..."

"Unless he apologizes to Sam..."

The little girl was very tactful, not forgetting to give Adam a way out.

However, Adam, whose mind was still filled with violent thoughts, did not seize the opportunity.

He could only watch with frustration and disappointment as his friends slowly rode away on their bicycles.

As his friends disappeared into the distance, Adam, who was still just a child, felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

Subsequently, the violent emotions within him were no longer suppressed.

"Ah~"

Amidst agonizing screams, Little Adam's eyes turned bloodshot, and black energy slowly gathered around his body. Finally, in a bizarre manner, he was lifted into the air by the black energy.

"Partners, friendship!!! It's all a lie... Only power is eternal... Only power can rule the world!!!"

When he opened his eyes again, Little Adam seemed like a different person; his deep voice was filled with a destructive desire.

At the same time, the cute little white dog that he had been holding in his arms also bared its fangs, and as its size increased, its fur gradually began to turn black.

"What do we do? The demonic power within him is awakening, and even the Fiery Holy Sword can't suppress it." Raphael noticed Adam's change and, in a panic, looked at Mike, saying, "Quick, think of something!"

[Demon Bloodline * Energy +1000]...[Demon Bloodline * Energy +1000]...[Demon Bloodline * Energy +1000]...

As Adam's demonic bloodline awakened, Mike unexpectedly received several more waves of energy orbs.

It must be said that Adam has a very good foundation. Even though he is only half-awakened, his energy level has already caught up with Raphael and Crowley.

As for the flaming holy sword that Raphael mentioned, it was a divine artifact that he had taken from God more than ten years ago.

To protect Adam, who was in a special position at the time, Raphael temporarily lent the artifact to him.

The fact that Little Adam didn't turn evil prematurely over the years is also largely due to the protective artifact within him.

Mike had noticed the fire-attribute artifact inside Adam's body long ago, and even obtained an enhanced version of fire abilities from it.

He was currently in dire need of a suitable weapon, so he was very interested in this divine artifact.

Then, amidst Raphael's pleading expression, Mike stepped forward and appeared before Little Adam. He then made a grabbing motion in the air, summoning a greatsword wreathed in orange-red flames directly from Adam's body.

……

Chapter 493 Satan's Plan

Perhaps because of the power of faith within him, the raging flames on the holy sword did not make Mike feel any discomfort; on the contrary, he felt a sense of warmth when he held it.

"It is indeed a fine sword..."

In high spirits, Mike casually swung his flaming greatsword a few times, and countless flames flew around, forming a fire barrier.

And as the flames changed shape, the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time.

It can be said that this flaming holy sword with an energy value of 9999+ surpasses most angels and great demons in terms of power alone.

"Stop playing around, Mike! Adam isn't feeling well..."

Raphael, isolated outside the fire barrier, cried out anxiously.

Because the Holy Sword was no longer suppressing him, the demonic power within Little Adam was fully awakened, and a pair of demonic horns grew on his head.

His consciousness was gradually swallowed by darkness...

Mike even saw the phantom of Satan, the king of hell, in him.

"Kid, do you want to destroy the world?" Mike, holding the flaming holy sword, looked at the now corrupted boy in front of him.

"Destroy the world? No~ I will rule the world!!!" Adam's eyes were bloodshot, and his words were filled with inexplicable violent emotions.

As Mike slowly raised the holy sword, Raphael and Crowley behind him were extremely tense.

They wanted to stop it, but couldn't break through the flame barrier.

From this point on, Adam's fate rested entirely in Mike's hands.

"Rule the world?" Mike pressed his flaming greatsword against Adam's neck and continued, "And what do you want to do after you've ruled the world?"

Yes, what would be the point of ruling the world?

Adam, who exuded an ominous black aura, seemed stumped by the question.

Even his blood-red eyes became somewhat clearer.

"After I rule the world, I want Sam and the others to continue being my friends and playing with me..." Adam finally gave a childlike answer.

It was this answer that allowed the flaming greatsword to leave his neck.

It has been proven that the environment has a significant impact on a person's development. Even though Adam, who had a happy family, turned to the dark side, his heart remained kind.

In short, there is still hope...

Immediately, Mike absorbed the Flame Sword into his body and then condensed [Purifying Power] and threw it at Adam.

As the black aura around him was purified, Adam gradually regained his senses. Having lost his power, he then fell from the sky.

Raphael, the angel who had been watching from the sidelines, rushed over to catch the boy the moment the fire barrier disappeared.

"What's wrong with me? My head hurts so much..."

In Raphael's arms, Adam, having regained consciousness, still looked somewhat dazed, as if he remembered nothing from before.

Seeing this, Raphael quickly used [Blessing Power] on the little guy and then asked, "How do you feel this time? Are you feeling any better?"

The power of faith has a remarkable effect on healing emotional wounds.
