Chapter 1 Emilia's Child

America.

Late 80s.

The bipolar struggle has come to an end. As the crisis of the old empire intensifies, the final winner is about to take the crown called the lighthouse.

Prosperity also blooms beautiful flowers in this country.

Miami, Florida.

A kidnapping case occurred in the famous local Kano family, and the illegitimate son of the third son of the head of the family was kidnapped.

In this era when the Anti-Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act has been introduced, gangs have suffered a heavy blow, but the Cano family, which has been rooted in Miami for 70 years and has become a local tyrant, is still strong.

Therefore, in the streets and alleys, you can see people walking in a hurry, looking around, as if they are looking for something.

This situation lasted for a long time, but in the end, the illegitimate child who was said to be extremely intelligent was still not found. There were rumors that the illegitimate child had gone to hell.

……

Mississippi.

In a manor in a small town somewhere.

A group of children of different skin colors sat quietly in a large house.

These children were all relatively young, the oldest was only eight or nine years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old. They were all at an age when they loved to make trouble, but at this moment they all stayed quietly, their eyes filled with fear as they looked towards the stairs.

One of the children had his head lowered and was being gently kicked by two little girls.

Louis woke up from his daze and looked at everything unfamiliar in front of him. Shock flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Okay, Mary, Emma, ​​I'm fine."

Only then did the two little girls stop kicking.

Louis, who had just woken up, also looked towards the corner of the stairs, his eyes full of curiosity and fear.

Boom boom boom!
There was a dull thud of high heels hitting the wooden floor.

Following her came a blonde woman wearing a nightgown, with an extremely hot body, curvy curves, and a face that looked a little old, but still charming and even reminiscent of her youthful beauty. Beside her followed a strong white boy.

The woman looked at it greedily and lovingly, and took out a test tube from her body.

"Oh, Noel, look at these children and see which one meets the requirements. You know, there are only a few years left. If you still can't let me give birth to a new life, then I will need a new husband."

"Mother, I, I understand."

The boy named Nuel looked at the obedient children in the living room, his eyes seemed to contain pity, but also a hint of anger.

Then the woman sat on the recliner, "Mary, Emma, ​​come here."

Louis' heart skipped a beat, but he saw the two little girls next to him had slightly frightened looks in their eyes. They tried hard to adjust their expressions and walked over quickly.

The woman looked at the soft skin greedily, stroked the cheek, and even stretched out her tongue to lick the earlobe.

"Young... so young... if my child hadn't been stolen, I would be like this now."

She whispered softly.

But Louis didn't have time to think about what these words meant.

Under the horrified gazes of all the children, Nuel pulled the oldest child over, dripped the liquid in the test tube into the cup, and forced him to drink it.

goo goo goo...

Subsequently.

boom!
The boy's face turned red, but soon, there was a burst of sound from below, followed by screams and blood.

Nuel had an ugly look on his face as he pulled people over one by one, as if the Grim Reaper was calling their names. Soon, all the nine-year-old children fell down, and the air was filled with a fishy smell.

"What a bunch of idiots! I really doubt that the guys who took the money were trying to scam me. These are the smart kids from every state?! Liars! Liars!"

Emilia was filled with anger, and her still charming face was filled with ferocity.

Nuel quickly drove everyone back to the rooms on the first floor like animals.

Due to limited space, four children huddled together in a cramped room. Louis happened to be in the same room with Emma, ​​Mary and the others, and there was another girl who looked indifferent watching them.

Curled up on the sofa, Louis began to think about all this.

There is no need to say much about the memories of the previous life. It is probably a story of good intentions not being rewarded.

In this life, he is the illegitimate son of the third son of the Kano family. His mother is Chinese and his father is Italian. Although he is a gangster and an illegitimate child, he actually lives a good life. He is even known as a genius and has received attention from his grandfather.

Until a while ago, he was suddenly robbed on the way to the kindergarten, and then he met two other girls during the trafficking and finally arrived at this destination.

In order to escape today, he and two girls secretly saw the miserable state of the boys who had drunk the potion before and were frightened, which awakened his memory prematurely.

Thinking of the tragic scene of the corpses bleeding, Louis frowned unconsciously.

Don't get me wrong, he frowned not only because he felt miserable, but more because of everything he had experienced in this manor in such a short period of time.

The aging woman named Emilia is not aging at the right rate, and she seems to be a... witch!
That's right, a witch.

They had all seen her eyes roll back and she would hang up the older children who wanted to escape.

This is also the reason why everyone is trembling and dare not resist.

At this time.

"Portugal."

Mary, the blonde girl who was reading a book, closed it and spoke.

?

All three of them looked over. "What?"

"I said, the old witch and her son spoke in Portuguese. I've seen it. It's all in the book."

"You mean you can learn a language by reading books?" The indifferent girl next to him smiled amusedly.

“Of course, é muito simples (It’s simple),” Mary said in a matter-of-fact tone.

The indifferent girl was shocked, then her expression gradually relaxed and she seemed to want to say something.

Mary, on the other hand, looked at Emma with a smug smile, wanting to see her companion's shocked expression, but Emma kept a faint smile on her face, while watching Louis out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing this, Mary wrinkled her nose and looked at Louis, but he didn't respond at all and trotted over.

Louis didn't pay attention to the little tricks between them.

Portuguese, is this Portugal?
It's impossible. Although it has gone through various transfers, the time doesn't match. It has not taken any plane or ship, and it is most likely still in the United States.

So... are they of Portuguese descent? No, if they speak the language in daily conversation, they're most likely immigrants. This is the largest immigrant country in the world.

A Portuguese immigrant to America, a witch, collected children and made the older children take potions.

What about the purpose?
Thinking back to the words I vaguely heard the woman say while holding the two girls, could it be that...

"Curiosity kills the cat. The most urgent thing is to find a way to leave." Louis thought to himself.

"Louis, do you think I'm speaking Portuguese correctly?"

The proud little genius girl Mary handed over the book and began to speak a string of Portuguese like a peacock spreading its tail.

"oh oh."

Louis said casually, glancing over at the same time.

The next second, his entire expression froze.

Staring intently at the book written in Portuguese.

Before his eyes, the appearance of the book gradually became blurred and changed dramatically.

Four familiar, ancient characters appeared on the cover of the book.

Left-handed folk code!

 ps: The plot is from the Portuguese movie "Emilia's Child", which I personally think is a bad movie and a bit heavy.
