Chapter 425.2: The Truth
[Running a check, reading "enemies" in the Hunter's mind.]
[Contractor # 10034 (dead).
Contractor # 10187 (dead).
Contractor #11316 (dead).
Contractor #12479 (dead).
Contractor...]
Seeing the large list in front of him, Su Xiao was even more puzzled. They were all "enemies" who killed his parents, but they all died without exception according to the summary provided by Paradise, even though he had previously said that his parents died due to an accident.
His enemies were already dead? Su Xiao lit a cigarette with trembling hands. Although these people weren't killed by him, he was still happy about it.
Some people said that after taking revenge, there was only one void left, but Su Xiao was very happy right now.
[According to the comparison of DNA data, the following results were obtained: The hunter is not related by blood to Contractor No. 12156 (Code name: Blood Eagle) and Contractor #12157 (Code name: Poison Orchid).]
Seeing this, Su Xiao couldn't believe his eyes. Rai gravely told him that his parents, who had raised him since childhood, were not related to him by blood?
Was this Paradise's mistake? Is it possible? Of course, this was impossible, because the possibilities of Paradise were too vast.
[Projecting a scene from the Hunter's Infancy...]
A screen that looked like a large flat-screen TV appeared in front of Su Xiao.
The screen showed a dark sealed space that was most likely a cave, with the entrance and exit blocked by rocks.
Inside the cave, there was a couple of a young man and a woman with a baby in their arms. If someone were to compare Su Xiao to this man now, they would notice certain similarities between them.
The woman was holding the baby in her arms and her eyes were full of tears.
— We can get out of here, can't we?" The phone does not catch and there is less and less oxygen. If they don't get us out of here, we will... the woman said and put her cheek to the baby's face.
The man leaned against the rocks. Even in this situation, he remained calm and his expression was cold.
— We don't have much oxygen left. The man raised his head and looked at his wife, who was standing nearby, and smiled. "Survive and raise him to be a real man," he said as he took out a jackknife and cut his own throat without hesitation.
There was no doubt about his actions.
But if there was only enough oxygen for two adults and one infant to last two hours, what about one adult and one child?
Three to four hours at best.
This man was very brave. So that his wife and son could survive, he decided to commit suicide. He was well aware of what it meant to be buried underground because of a sudden earthquake. They won't be able to be saved in a short time, and instead of waiting for an early death, he chose to give his family a better chance of survival.
The gushing blood stunned the woman, but soon she screamed and rushed towards the man.
— Survive and don't let him die, " the man's eyes turned glassy after he said that.
My wife was crying and screaming, but it was too late to change anything.
After a few minutes, she wiped the tears from her face. Her heart was shattered, but when she looked at the baby in swaddling clothes, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
The woman carefully brought the baby to her breast and began to feed it.
After the baby fell asleep, the woman laid him on the ground and covered him with everything she could find, so that if the excavation began, they could not do much harm to him, although she was well aware that the probability that they would have time to come to them in time was small..
After that, she looked at her husband and resolutely picked up his bloodstained jackknife.
She didn't know when they would get help, but she knew that just a few hours won't be enough. All she could do was try to keep her child alive so that he would have a chance to survive.
The most valuable things were often the most common things, and oxygen is a prime example.
Su Xiao stared at the screen in front of him. In the end, the baby was saved, but due to the fact that on that day there was a truly large-scale earthquake. The identification of the child was not carried out in time, and as a result, he was left as an unnamed baby, who was sent to an orphanage.
Six months later, a married couple came to the orphanage. Seeing the pair's familiar faces Su Xiao was stunned.
They were his parents.
No, it was more likely that they were his foster parents.
The video continued playing. Su Xiao gradually grew up, but his parents never told him that they had adopted him.
And his adoptive parents adopted him under false names, as they seemed to be avoiding someone.
But even so, his father was always kind to him, and his mother was always gentle.
Su Xiao didn't even remember being scolded by his foster parents at least once, let alone physically assaulted.
He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that their relationship didn't look normal.
The video continued to play. Soon, Su Xiao started elementary school, while his foster parents were chatting at home.
— It's been so many years, he won't know that we adopted him?
— Lan, don't think about it, he's still young and we're no different from his biological parents.
— But he's going to grow up soon. If he finds out that we're...
— Then get rid of it. You know we can't have children. We adopted him only to hide among ordinary people. The people in Ling Tian's group are real dogs and they will never let us go.
— Get rid of it... I don't want to do this, but this child shows such a ruthless character since childhood, I'm interested to know who his parents were, maybe he can even become a contractor in the future...
— They were obviously ordinary people, for he doesn't have a trace of digitization's presence, " Blood Eagle said and sighed as if he was worried about something, but when he talked about Su Xiao, there wasn't a drop of any emotion in his eyes.
The truth was always so unexpected.
In fact, this was not a story about a powerful enemy and successful revenge after gaining power, but something completely different.
One young couple was hit by a strong earthquake while hiking in caves and was sealed in one of the underground passages.
Although this couple was made up of ordinary people, both the man and the woman had a ruthless and determined nature, and this was what allowed their child to survive.
The couple's death bought them some time and the child was eventually rescued, after which he was sent to a shelter and adopted by a married couple of two contractors who adopted him only to hide their identity..
Su Xiao put one hand to his forehead. The cigarette was placed between his lips, causing a faint smoke to slowly rise to his hair.
Heaven's answer to his question had nothing right or wrong. Although his 'parents' had adopted him to hide their identity, in the end, they had raised and taken good care of him all along.
The contractors who killed his "parents" had died, so he didn't have any so-called powerful enemies.
When he killed other people, including Samurai, no one showed up in the end, which already indicated some oddities.
The burden that had been on his shoulders for so many years gradually dissipated, and he had never felt so relaxed before.
— Bubtney, let's go have dinner.
Su Xiao wasn't heartbroken by such a sudden truth. On the contrary, he felt as if he had just been reborn.
From now on, he could only live for himself.
In other words, his journey in Paradise has just begun, and from now on, he will only do what he wants and will no longer depend on revenge.
