After returning from the secret base of the Kenedy Clan…
"Are you alright? How was it?" Yuki asked when she saw Theo.
"Well, you could say that everything went well enough," Theo answered.
Yuki may realize there was something else unsaid in words, but she knew that if it were necessary, Theo would tell her later.
"Where are my parents?"
"Are they okay?"
The children surrounded Theo and began to ask him questions rapidly.
Theo looked at them as he answered, "They are in a safe place, but it will take a little while before I can bring them here. But, you don't have to worry, they are fine."
Hearing Theo's response, the children and women cheered. Although they were doubtful at first whether he would be able to do this, they were thrilled to hear that Theo was able to save the people being held by the Kenedy Clan.
"Well, first of all, you can stay here for now, or, if you like, I can take you back to your homes." Theo looked at them seriously. He then said in a serious tone, "But if you live in this city, I would recommend that you don't go to your families right now. It could complicate your lives again, and even the possibility of being killed by the Kenedy Clan is not out of the question!"
Some of them who were from Ravena City began to reflect after they heard this. They weren't fools to just assume that Theo was wrong, so they would only remain a little further away from their families, and nodded in agreement.
Seeing them being so understanding, Theo nodded in approval. He also noticed that, unlike before, they were now dressed in new clothes, giving them a much better appearance.
"Yuki, would you mind taking care of them for a little while longer?" Theo knew he couldn't let the people in his Dimensional Room just keep sleeping there.
"Sure, no problem." Yuki agreed.
"Regarding those who want to go home and live outside Ravena City, please make a map where your hometown is located, and I'll see what I can do. As for right now, I'll be heading out, but my wife will be here to take care of your needs. If you feel hungry or need something, just ask her. You could even cultivate in the meantime if you want. Be my guest."
With that said, Theo left the Workshop. After returning to their room, he entered the Dimensional Room.
"That's a lot of people!" Theo told himself when he saw how many people were there, sleeping, in his Dimensional Room.
After using his illusions in the Dimensional Room to change the scene, Theo clapped once to make everyone wake up.
He put the people who had been experimented on in a separate illusory room, but he left the others together.
"Honey!"
"My love!"
"Mommy!"
Endless cries of joy were heard, making a commotion in the Dimensional Room. Many were married couples, and their children were also here, making their reunion stir their almost nonexistent emotions.
Dennis, on the other hand, didn't seem to have found his mother…
"Is it that… was your mother among Mauricio Kenedy's experiments?" Seeing this, Theo suspected that she was one of the women who had suffered at the hands of Mauricio, and that could explain why Dennis hadn't seen his mother yet…
However, he used his strong Divine Sense and could feel her presence, even if only a little, but he could not see her.
Of course, Theo was preventing him from finding where the experiment victims were… he still needed to see if he could save them.
Dennis came up with tears in his eyes as he asked, "Theo, where, where is my mother? Why can't I find her?"
Theo sighed and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. She's not in good shape, but I promise I'll try my best to help her recover, so you just need to wait for a little, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Dennis shook his hands tightly until he stabbed his fingernails into the palm of his hands and blood began to flow. His whole body trembled as he tried to restrain his tears that seemed to flow endlessly.
Dennis lost his young father already, and his mother was his only living family. He only managed to stand firm until today because he told himself that his mother was still well, and when he got stronger, he would save her. But now Theo said to him that his dear mother was not in good shape? Despite his young age, he could imagine what this could mean since he has seen many people here who could be described like that.
"So, in what state is my dear mother currently in?"
His mental state became chaotic, and he was losing control of his emotions, his Divine Sense was out of control, causing discomfort to those around him.
Theo shook his head and put him to sleep. He knew it wouldn't be good to leave him like this, but he didn't want to give him any false hope. He could only do his best and try to help them.
Theo communicated with the others in the Dimensional Room, summarizing what was happening. He said that they would have to stay in this place a little longer, but then he would take them to another location. After that, he went out to where his illusions were keeping the people who had suffered from the experiments.
There were a total of seven adult men in this group. They had no skin on their bodies and were the most deformed. If Theo didn't look close enough, he wouldn't have even noticed that they were human, let alone men, since they didn't have their genitals anymore.
There were also 14 deformed women with some extra arms and legs, bringing the total to 21 victims here.
Theo took a deep breath to calm his fury and revulsion as he examined what had happened to them.
"There's a great chance that the healing potions will fix them because they weren't born this way. If they're cured 100% by the potions, there is a great chance of them returning to normal." Theo hoped it would work. If not, he'd have to see if he could find another way to help them.
'Let's try the one that seems to be in a better state.' Theo looked at a child who had four arms, two seemed to be his own arms, but the other two were very similar to monkey arms.
Taking it out of the transparent container with his Divine Sense, Theo bought three Apprentice Kingdom potions that would provide 40% healing.
[165 System Points were deducted]
Since this boy was only in the 8th Layer of the Apprentice Kingdom, it was really cheap for Theo to buy these three potions. He just hoped it would work as he thought it would.
This child looked at Theo with his dead fish eyes and didn't move an inch. Theo knew there was no point in changing his memories now, before bringing him back to normal, because he would only collapse again the moment he saw his current state.
Making this boy open his mouth with his Divine Sense, Theo put a healing potion in his mouth. Soon after, he gave him the other two.
"It worked!" Theo was happy to see the result. Gradually, the wounds on the boy's body began to heal, and the two monkey arms just below his original arms fell off, and the places where they were sewn on were healed.
The boy with his dead fish eyes, looked at his arms and body, intrigued. His reaction reminded Theo of the response of a certain wooden boy when he became a real boy.
