Lord Specter

After Moira had calmed down, Heero laid her on the bench and began to apply the medicine to her wounds. A few centimeters of claw marks, fortunately, the wound was not too deep.

As he applied the medicine, he started the conversation with his usual gentle smile, "So, your name is Moira?"

"Mnn..." The little girl nodded her head. After a series of exchanges, the little girl became more quiet. She looked nervously at the green paste in Heero's hand.

After washing, it turned out that Moira's hair was red. Maybe because she had not washed her hair for a long time, her hair was so dirty that it changed its color.

"It's okay, my medicine is the best, you won't feel any pain," Heero put the green paste on the wound.

"It's okay, Moira can take pain," even Moira said. She closed her eyes, but then the cooling sensation spread over her wound. She felt no soreness, let alone pain. Instead, the green paste soothed the pain she had endured all this time.

Her amber pupils dilated in surprise. She looked at Heero who carefully applied the medicine and then wrapped her wound with gauze.

"See, you don't feel any pain, do you?"

Moira nodded her head.

"So, if Uncle may ask, why were you being chased by the other mutants?"

Heero stood up from the bench and plucked the shiny red apple from the tree, "Would you like an apple? It is sweet~"

"Can I?"

Moira hesitated to take the apple from Heero's hand. But under Xu Lingxun's encouragement, she took the apple with both hands.

"Thank you~," Moira said with a voice as small as a mosquito's.

Heero did not push her to answer his question.

Moira rubbed the apple with her hands. Maybe this was the first time the little girl had seen an apple. It took some time before she took the first bite.

Crunch!

Her eyes lit up and she continued to chew the apple in her mouth. She continued until the whole apple was gone. Yes, she ate everything, even the seed.

"You can't eat the seed, Moira. It's not good for your body" Xu Lingxun rushed over and tried to take the seed out of her mouth.

But it was too late, the little girl had already swallowed it all. With a confused look, Moira asked, "Why? Mommy said never to waste food.

"But the seed is not food. It's not good for your body" Xu Lingxun was worried about the little girl. But Moira did not understand his concern.

"It's okay, Big Brother Xun. Mommy said we mutants have strong bodies!" The little girl reassured Xu Lingxun with a smile, but her smile was a bit stiff.

After saying that, Moira looked back at the apple tree. There were more than dozens of apples hanging from the tree, and from her eyes, she was eager to pluck them.

"Hehe... Does Moira want more?" Heero picked up the little girl. She did not struggle when he brought her closer to the apple tree.

Hesitantly she looked at Heero and asked, "May I?"

"Mnnn," Heero nodded his head and lifted her body into the air. He let her pluck the apple by herself.

She plucked the apple and hugged it, "I'll save it for dinner.

"Oh, you can eat it now. We still have plenty of apples" Heero pointed to the apples hanging on the tree.

"Hmmm..." Moira shook her head and replied, "If we have a lot of food, Mommy said we have to eat sparingly or we will starve" she said.

"What a good little girl. Your mommy is right, but you can have it. This uncle has a lot of food here" Heero brought her to the railing and showed her the busy Xing District.

He was busy pointing to the shops that sold food. To the food stalls and more. He told the little girl not to worry about food.

Sure enough, her eyes lit up at the sight of the food stalls and restaurants. She had never seen such a sight, but she unconsciously flinched at the sight of a stream of people filling the district.

While the parents used the mutant existence to scare their children. The mutant child was the same, her parents must have told her how scary humans were. You could see it in her reaction every time she saw the humans.

Heero exchanged words with Moira. He told her how good this place was.

After a few minutes, Moira began to open her heart and told Heero why she was being chased by two adult mutants. Her story surprised him.

There was a hidden village in the north, a village for mutants. Moira and her mother had lived in this village for years.

Actually, Moira's life was quite happy for a mutant. She had a loving mother who always protected her from the harsh realities of the world.

The little girl even bragged to Heero about how strong her mother was. Everything was fine for the little girl until five days ago.

The leader of the mutant village brought a group of black-cloaked people who claimed to be the apostles of the Dark Shrine.

The mutant leader told the other mutants that these black cloaked people had a cure for them. But the cure was only for the children.

Moira's mother was happy to hear this. But when night came, Moira's mother panicked when she returned home. In a hurry, Moira's mother took Moira out of the village.

The surprise came later. After a full five days, Moira's mother was captured. She was killed in front of her daughter.

Before the two adult mutants killed Moira's mother, they shouted something: "An offering for the greatest lord, Lord Specter!

"Yes, they said Lord Specter. Even when they were chasing me, they said I was their sacrifice to Lord Specter" Moira finished her story and finished the apple in her hand.

"Can I have some more apples, Uncle?"

Heero smiled and took her to the apple tree. But his thoughts turned around. Moira did not know why her mother had decided to run away, since her mother had not told her anything.

But it must have something to do with the sacrifice.

'Mutant and Specter...'

'Ah, that's why... That's why they're not attacking us, they've found a new target...'

The mutants were physically strong compared to humans. Then what if the mutants, who are several times stronger than humans, ate the seed?

A strong specter would be born from the mutants.

They are creating more armies... they are preparing for war... and here we are stuck with a lot of useless things," he said.

"What's wrong, Uncle?" Moira asked when her talkative uncle stopped talking.

"Oh, nothing," Heero snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head.

He set the little girl down on the bench and his smiling face turned serious.

"Moira, let uncle ask you. Do you want to return to normal, just like us?"

Heero's question surprised not only the little girl, but even Xu Lingxun was shocked to hear it.

Moira almost dropped her apple, but she managed to hold on to it. Her eyes grew wide as she blurted out, "Can you heal Moira? But Mommy said there's no cure for us..."

"Uncle has the cure, but it will be painful. Can Moira bear the pain?"

"Mnn, I can. Moira is good at taking pain," the little girl nodded her head furiously.

"Good girl," Heero stroked her red hair, "eat your apple, we will start when Moira has finished the apple.

The little girl ate the apple very quickly. She was so excited to hear that there was a cure for her.

At that moment, Heero opened his smartwatch. He sent a text message to Bai Xian Ming.

[There is an urgent situation!]

"Uncle, I am ready," Moira tugged at his clothes.

"Mnn..." Heero picked up the little girl and brought her into his hut.

Moira was about to experience pain she would never forget.
