Revenge After Death

Chapter 538

Steven looked at the boy intensely. As he was going to speak, the boy gazed at me with a blank expression and asked, "Mom, why do you look... a little different?"

In the living room, a little girl timidly hid behind the wall and looked at me. "It's Mom!"

Then, she quickly came toward me and hugged me. I instinctively held her in my arms.

She was incredibly obedient. The little girl and the little boy seemed as if they were carved out of the same mold. At first sight, they looked like identical twins. They had deep, captivating eyes and adorable faces. They looked a lot like Steven.

"They look slightly... like you," Steven whispered.

"These two children... are so similar to you both," Joel exclaimed in amazement.

Eason was clearly confused. "Anyone who didn't know better would have assumed that you two had children."

I carried the little girl to the living room. The three-bedroom unit was plain, with wedding photos hanging on the wall. The man and woman in the photo were actually Steven and Stephanie. I looked at Steven in shock.

Joel exclaimed in surprise, "All the photos in this room feature Steven and Stephanie!"

"That's Mom and Dad." The boy pointed at "Stephanie" in a photo and declared that she was his mother. Then, he looked at me again. "Mom, why do you look different from the photos?"

I remained oblivious for quite a while, wondering what he meant.

"The entire underground cabin seemed to have been intentionally revealed to us. It was too obvious and deliberate. Someone led us to discover these two children," Steven said seriously.

"Have you two met your parents?" I asked in a hushed tone.

Both of them shook their heads. "The nanny said that our parents are scientists on a mission. It'll take a few years before they return. We must wait at home and not go out."

Gasping, I looked at the doors outside the cabin. "Is everyone here children?"

The boy suddenly replied, "They're all dead. They were eliminated..."

"What do you mean?" I felt a chill running down my back.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"The best children are the only ones who can survive and see their parents," the boy said in a solemn tone.

"My brother protected me..." The little girl hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear that her brother had been protecting her.

I didn't know what awful things happened to these two children who seemed to be only three or four years old.

"Look at this." Joel found a surveillance camera above the living room and a tablet on the bookshelf.

"This is the experimental data about you two," Joel said as he handed the tablet to Steven.

The data inside belonged to Steven and Stephanie.

"From a biological standpoint, these children are the offspring of you and Stephanie. When Stephanie reached sexual maturity, her parents obtained her eggs to use for the cultivation of the next generation

through embryonic development.

"Stephanie's genes have some defects, making it challenging to conceive healthy embryos. Hence, the birth of these two children is truly a miracle."

Joel scrutinized the experimental data and watched the confession of the experimenter displayed on the tablet. He played the video and passed the tablet to me. It turned out that the person in the video was Stephanie's mother.

In front of the camera, she repeatedly discussed the failures of the experiments and then recorded the successful embryo specimens. These two little kids were among the successful ones.

In addition to these two children, other children were born with unique conditions such as different or double pupils, or even other congenital diseases. Most of them had specific defects. However, since Stephanie's parents died in a car accident, the experiment was entrusted to others.

I examined the records regarding the two mentioned children and was appalled. Steven and Stephanie both had character flaws, and these two children were even more peculiar.

Due to a strong genetic bond, the older brother instinctively protected his younger sister from the moment he was born. He had an uncanny ability to detect approaching danger and would swiftly eliminate any animals coming close to his sister.

Furthermore, both children possessed remarkably high IQs. They were highly aggressive, and socializing them was difficult.

There was software on the tablet to view the surveillance. Upon playback, I witnessed the two little kids luring the nanny into the bedroom and locking her in.

Then, they proceeded to open the password-protected door of the lab capsule, which was the place we had just entered. If the door was closed directly, it became an invisible door that was difficult to find.

I glanced toward the bedroom and walked over slowly. All the door locks in these rooms were on the outside, which would be convenient for securing the two little kids inside the room.

When I unlocked the door, I took a deep breath. The nanny... was dead. It appeared that she had been locked in for a long time and died of starvation.

I couldn't help but glance back at the two little kids who eagerly threw themselves into Steven's arms and began to act coquettishly... A chill ran down my spine. What kind of little monsters were these two?

At that moment, I had the unsettling illusion that these two kids had deliberately lured us step by step, taking advantage of the fact that the door was locked from the outside. They eliminated the people in the cabin in advance. It was hard to believe that they were no more than four years old.
