Xiao Yan wiped the tears from her cheeks and held Ding Yao's little head close, asking him how he had managed to kill those three people. Ding Yao briefly explained, and after a moment's thought, she asked, “Who hurt you?”
Ding Yao furrowed his brow and replied, “I don’t know. I didn’t see. I used Hand Thunder, and it made such a big noise that it might have attracted other scavengers.” After finishing his words, he felt Xiao Yan tighten her embrace around his arm. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing… I was just thinking about who could be so hateful…” Xiao Yan replied, her voice trembling slightly. Ding Yao thought she was still consumed by pain and fear, so he did not dwell on other thoughts.
It was not until two days later, when Xiao Yan kept him locked in the house to recuperate and wouldn’t let him remove the bandages, that he began to sense something was off.
“Mom, what’s wrong with my eyes? Why haven’t the bandages been taken off?” he inquired.
They had landed on a spaceship that was still somewhat intact and were lucky enough to find a damaged treatment pod, which not only had a Gamma Knife therapy device but also a full-body analysis system. It was probably because it was damaged that it had not been taken during the robbery.
