Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

Grandpa Huo immediately became serious and turned to look at Lin Shuangshuang.

Lin Shuangshuang wasn't shy at all. She nodded and said, "Hello, Grandpa."

Grandpa Huo initially had a stern face, but upon hearing "Grandpa," he smiled again. "Very good, very dignified. What's wrong with your hair?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the three of them, one in red and one in yellow.

Luo Na and the others smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Hello, Grandpa Huo."

After pouring the water, Huo Ling picked up an apple and started peeling it. "Aftereffects of superpowers."

Grandpa Huo looked up and said "Oh," then glanced at the group and commented, "These three kids are timid."

No one is as bold as his granddaughter-in-law.

Huo Ling hummed in agreement. Having not seen each other for so long, the grandfather and grandson didn't mention the past, and chatted casually for a few minutes.

Huo Yichuan had brought his wife and children to the hospital quite a few times, but Old Master Huo didn't like him. Instead, he invited Wen Jingshu and her children to sit down, saying, "Don't always bring the children to the hospital; they're full of germs."

Old Master Huo knew perfectly well that Huo Yichuan had brought Wen Jingshu and the others here just to make himself known and to pretend to be filial in front of outsiders.

But he didn't say it explicitly, just mentioned it, and he really didn't want the children to come all the time.

Wen Jingshu asked worriedly, "Did I do something wrong? Did I make you angry, Dad? Or were the children too noisy? I'll definitely discipline them better in the future."

Grandpa Huo sighed, "I've already said there are many viruses in hospitals, don't overthink it. We've seen them today, Yichuan, take them back first."

Huo Yichuan was initially reluctant, but when his father glared at him, he chickened out. There were no reporters downstairs today, so after thinking about it, he agreed.

Before leaving, he wanted to take Huo Ling with him, not wanting him to get too close to Old Master Huo.

Old Master Huo said angrily, "Go back yourself and let Ling'er keep me company."

Huo Yichuan had no choice but to leave with Wen Jingshu and the others with a gloomy face.

Wen Jingshu personally took care of Huo Ting, Huo Yuan, and Huo Zhixian's three children. She wasn't very close to the two elders and didn't have much to talk about.

They only come here briefly; they're always eager to leave.

The three of them started complaining as soon as they left the ward.

"Why bother coming out in this hot weather?"

"That's right, even Grandpa doesn't like us."

"Let's go back home. Aren't you happy with the air conditioning at home? We're moving to the underground city in a few days, and I still have a ton of stuff to pack. Mom, is that guy coming with us to the underground city? I don't want to live with them! What kind of older brother is he?"

……

Lin Shuangshuang got up and closed the door, which completely shut out the noise.

Huo Ling glanced at her, and seeing that she had returned, he continued peeling the apple without much reaction. He truly didn't take those people seriously.

After reading it, Old Master Huo sighed and asked, "Where do you live now?"

"Outside." Huo Ling handed him a piece of apple, which the old man accepted.

Old Master Huo immediately became angry upon hearing this, "Why do you have to babble like that? Where is it outside? Which base? Which city?"

He was angry with his grandson, but he was polite to his teammates. He turned to Rona and the other two and told them not to stand, but to find a place to sit.

They also said there was fruit over there, and we could eat whatever we wanted without being shy.

After giving his instructions with a smile, he turned to Huo Ling with a stern face and said, "Speak."

Huo Ling said, "The outside is the outside, don't worry about it."

Old Master Huo said sarcastically, "If I don't care, why should I care about you? I'm just an old man, I don't have the right to. If I say another word, you'll get angry and won't come home for another six or seven years, isn't that the logic?"

Huo Ling frowned and hissed, annoyed by his grandfather's snort. "Eat the apple."

Grandpa Huo snorted loudly, quite angry at his grandson.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the fruit platter in the ward and found that there wasn't much fresh fruit, so she put some fresh fruit from her spatial card into it.

Huo Ling glanced at her.

She has to check on her grandson's every move, otherwise she won't feel at ease.

Grandpa Huo's eyes crinkled with amusement. "What's the little girl's name?"

Lin Shuangshuang said honestly, "Grandpa, my name is Lin Shuangshuang."

Mr. Huo smiled and said, "Lin Shuangshuang, what a good name, it sounds so vibrant."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled slightly, "I chose it myself." Some images flashed through her mind.

This was when she was still in the lab. Once, during a mission, she almost died in a forest. The trees were lush and green, but she almost died. As she lay on the ground, she thought of this name. The code name "Peerless" was given to her by the people who created her, but she didn't like it, nor did she like that kind of life. She gave herself an ordinary name and wanted to live an ordinary life.

After leaving Huo Ling and being recruited by the authorities, she resumed using the code name, hoping to return to the right track. This was her original life; she was a dangerous person and shouldn't yearn for the life of an ordinary human.

But who could have imagined it?

The end times are coming.

The experimental subject Wushuang became Lin Shuangshuang again. Now, Lin Shuangshuang can accept both identities calmly, because they are both her.

Huo Ling told her that no matter the good or bad experiences, she is still herself.

Old Master Huo paused for a moment, his cloudy eyes revealing too much, and finally said, "You're a precocious child, thinking too much is a waste of your energy."

Lin Shuangshuang was taken aback.

Huo Ling broke the heavy atmosphere, "When did you become a fortune teller?"

Old Master Huo said with disdain, "Go away, go away, you're so annoying every day."

The three of them, including Rona, couldn't help but chuckle.

Huo Ling didn't hide it from Old Master Huo, "I took some things with me when I left home."

"Take it. Your grandma called me early this morning. It's yours, take it if you want."

Old Master Huo changed his posture. If he weren't still ill, he probably would have crossed his legs. He must have been very arrogant when he was young.

Huo Ling hummed in agreement, glanced at the old man, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Grandpa Huo said, "I'm getting old. My body can't keep up anymore, the parts are broken. Isn't that normal? You young people should go do what you're supposed to do. Don't worry about this. If you want to come back, then come back for a visit. If you don't want to, then that's fine."

He's very stubborn.

Seeing that his eldest grandson was still happy, he didn't dare to mention the harsh words he had said before. He just mumbled, "People only realize when they reach this kind of world that family continuity and billions in assets are all empty words. You never know when they will all be gone. The point of living is to be happy."

Grandpa Huo looked at his eldest grandson, his lips trembling slightly, "Are you happy now?"

He had hurt his child's feelings for the sake of his family, and he was also very upset about it.

Huo Ling was silent for three seconds, then nodded. "I'm quite happy now."

The old man smiled with relief. "It's good that you're happy, it's good that you're happy. Alright, you've seen it all. Hospitals are full of germs, so you shouldn't come here so often. Go on, go about your business. Take good care of yourself. If I ever leave this world, don't be sad. Everyone has to go through this, you know?"
