Qi Cong finally understood the situation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the Taskmaster! It was the one who had taken over his body that was talking, and who was trying to lock him up again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No way!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He struggled like crazy, desperately trying to get control of his body back.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Stop it.&#8221; Qi Cong found himself raising his hand to press his forehead, then his voice turned even colder. \u201cIf the controller wasn\u2019t broken and couldn\u2019t be repaired I would really want to put you\u2026. Qi Cong I advise you to behave. If you continue to make trouble, don\u2019t blame me for taking it out on your parents. Also, Gu Xun, you care a lot about him, right?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong struggles suddenly stopped and in the next moment pain that was many times stronger than before came. Qi Cong wasn\u2019t prepared for it, and felt his consciousness instantly sucked away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No&#8230;!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong hurriedly continued to struggle, but in desperation he found that all his struggle was useless. As the suction increased, his original clear vision of the corridor gradually blurred and distorted, his perception of the outside world also gradually weakening.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before completely losing his sense of the outside world, he vaguely heard his own voice coming from afar, \u201cStay well. When the &#8216;seed&#8217; is well nourished, I will naturally return your body to you. I will try not to make your life too bad, because you helped me advance the mission by mistake, and gave me a good resource.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good resource? What good resource?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The darkness fell again, but there were glowing white black fragments floating in front of his eyes. When Qi Cong struggled, he accidentally hit them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buzz&#8230;!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wow.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The streets of the city spread out without warning, and Qi Cong found himself standing at the door of a restaurant, with his arm being pulled by someone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He looked over and confronted Gu Xun with a tense expression. Gu Xun and his familiar, but not so unfamiliar, low, depressed tone asked, &#8220;This is the answer you\u2019re giving me? You forgot about me?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The image distorted abruptly, then another image appeared. Gu Xun\u2019s face appeared once again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time it was at the entrance of a convenience store. Qi Cong found himself reaching out and pushing Gu Xun, his tone full of impatience. &#8220;Stop pestering me, I told you I don&#8217;t know you, go away!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gu Xun stepped back and looked up expressionlessly. His eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn\u2019t slept well for a long time. His eyes were heavy and scary, but his tone was light and gentle. He stood where he was and asked, &#8220;The Qixi Festival, don&#8217;t you want to spend it together?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Who would want to spend Qixi Festival together with you? Don&#8217;t bother me again!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The picture changed again, it was night now. Qi Cong saw Qi Yin this time. She hadn\u2019t lost much weight yet, but her emotions seemed to be on the verge of collapse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Cong, Jiang Zhaoyan is using you. He isn\u2019t sincere to you at all. Come home with me, Mommy begs you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even at his age, Qi Cong has never seen Qi Yin show such an expression and posture to him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His heart violently jerked up and Qi Cong realized something &#8211; were these the things that the Taskmaster had done to the people he cared about with his body when he took it over?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He heard himself say to Qi Yin in a cold, hard tone, \u201cYou are misunderstanding Jiang Zhaoyan, he\u2019s fine. Just go away. I\u2019m not going home. That&#8217;s not my home. You should pretend I was never your son.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the vision, Qi Yin&#8217;s eyes widened. Her lips trembled, tightened and there was a faint glow in her eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong looked at all this from the perspective of &#8220;himself\u201d and opened his eyes wide. His soul shrank and trembled, so painful that he wanted to punch himself twice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How could he say that, how could\u2026?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorry, I\u2019m sorry mom.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was so painful that he hated it to the extreme. He simply wanted to kill the Taskmaster!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it&#8217;s not him!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t try to control his life anymore! Don&#8217;t try to use his body to hurt the people he cares about, never! Over his dead body!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He began to struggle like crazy again, due to his struggle pictures switched faster and faster. Countless faces flashed in front of him, and countless words floated into his ears.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the entrance of the neighborhood, Shen Jia cautiously looked over with a voice that held a hint of holding by tears. \u201cBrother Cong, what&#8217;s wrong with you? I&#8217;m Jia Jia, are you really going to kick me out?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the school office, the counselor said in a serious voice, &#8220;You can take a break from school if you&#8217;re not well, but it&#8217;s not good to miss school for no reason like this. Originally with your performance you could easily become a graduate student, but now\u2026alas, think about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an unfamiliar office building, the tired-looking Lin Hui asked, slightly pleadingly, &#8220;Go see your mother, she is sick.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beside the playground, a familiar senior was frowning in front of him, clearly puzzled. \u201cQi Cong, I heard some bad rumors about you. What&#8217;s the matter with you? I feel like there is something strange about you now.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a strange apartment, Jiang Zhaoyan slammed a document hard on the table and rebuked him. \u201cQi Cong, look at the contract you signed, how could you agree to such terms? Are you trying to bring down the company?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an empty parking lot, the well-dressed An Xiahe leaned against a car, looking over with an odd expression, but his tone was soft. \u201cQi Cong, look at your current appearance. Like stinking mud in the gutter. Do you know? Just yesterday, Sanmu went bankrupt. Congratulations on finally losing your own company. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a strange company corridor, an old employee of Sanmu scolded him. \u201cQi Cong, how can you break your mother&#8217;s heart like this? Are you still human? How can you be so unfilial just because you have amnesia? She is your mother, your own mother who gave birth to you and raised you!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Antiope1<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The soul-shattering pain came again, and there was a faint force trying to pull him somewhere.
