Chapter 3
Ever since Glenn could crawl, he began to slowly collect information about his surroundings.
He discovered something strange. He was actually born in 1979.
In his previous life, he had grown to 17 years old in 2021 (according to information within the organization), a typical post-00s.
How could he go back in time? Glenn was confused.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. As a baby, his head was burdened with thoughts that shouldn't belong to this age.
He could vaguely feel that his current thinking speed was far slower than his previous life.
Perhaps it was because of the wear and tear on the soul caused by reincarnation and the limitations of the brain itself that this situation occurred. Perhaps it would recover as he grew up.
He subconsciously guessed based on the knowledge he knew.
"The soul is a magical thing. Glenn smacked his lips and said in a vague way.
In his previous life, he was trained as a killer since he was a child, and he lacked the environment in which normal people grew up. As a result, he lacked a lot of common sense and experience that normal people should have.
But now he has become a child again, with a normal and warm family environment.���I feel a little constrained.
What should a normal child do?
How the hell do I know this?
Fortunately, he has a natural teacher who can imitate and refer to - Hermione Granger next door!
This has to mention the relationship between the Hawthorne family and the Granger family.
Alan Hawthorne and Chris Granger are good brothers who grew up wearing the same pants. If it weren't for Glenn's biological evidence, they might be misunderstood in the Great Ying Empire.
Well, I'm getting off topic. After the two went to college together, Alan chose to join the army, while Chris became a dentist.
In the army, Alan met the love of his life - Glenn's mother, now Ms. Gwen Hawthorne, who was a military doctor in Alan's military school.
After the two retired from the army, Chris invited them to settle down next to his home.
The Hawthorne family became neighbors with the Granger family.
In order to find a playmate for the child, the two families also chose to work hard on life events during the same period of time.
Coincidentally, under the influence of the magical oriental power - the power of the author - the children of both parties were born on the same day.
Glenn was a few minutes later than Hermione.
So Glenn, who had a less mature but more mature soul than ordinary children, was amused by Hermione next door, who was often secretly brought home by his father to play.
Is this the life habit of human cubs?
I should have laughed foolishly.
But I didn't know how to laugh before!
I didn't know what to do, what to do at this age, so I had to imitate Hermione's every move.
Fortunately, when Glenn was preparing for killing in his previous life, he was used to imitating.
So you can often see such scenes at the Hawthorne family and the Granger family: Glenn followed Hermione, playing with toys together, crawling around curiously together, and laughing inexplicably together.
But Glenn's laugh was ugly and strange.
It made those stupid adults stunned.
Crawling, time passed.
When Glenn could stand up, it was more convenient to collect information.
When no one was paying attention, he secretly climbed onto the bookshelf and took a book to read.
Mr. Hawthorne is of Chinese and British descent. Glenn's grandparents now live in China. The Hawthornes also travel to China frequently and are very interested in Chinese culture. They bought a lot of Chinese books, and although they could not understand them very well, they still put them on the bookshelf.
In his previous life, Glenn had no time to read these books that had nothing to do with his work as a killer, but now he has plenty of time to make up for it.
Using the speed reading and shorthand he mastered in his previous life, he quickly absorbed the knowledge of China and Britain.
Leisurely and comfortable reading is his current entertainment.
Can playing with Hermione be considered playing?
That's coaxing a child and taking care of a baby!
It seems quite interesting. In his previous life, he never played like a real child. Glenn curiously took the toys apart and put them back together.
""Playing with toys" hardcore version.
But there is no common language, uncomfortable.
Glenn silently looked at his finger that Hermione was sucking in her mouth.
When trying to teach Hermione what one plus one equals, her hand was taken away and bitten.
Glenn couldn't quite understand why the little girl in front of him liked to bite fingers, whether it was his own or his.
Could it be that there are nutrients in children's fingers that help them survive, so Hermione is so interested in biting fingers, this is a survival instinct!
Looking at his index finger that was released by Hermione, Glenn tried to suck it.
A smell of milk.
Glenn silently pulled his finger out of his mouth, he only tasted the taste of milk powder that Hermione had drunk.
Children's thinking really affects their behavior, and the wear and tear (of reincarnation) is really terrible.
Later, Glenn, who found that his activities seemed to be unrestricted, became bolder and secretly took Hermione to study the big baby
——Mr. Hawthorne stored his guns and daggers in the cabinet.
Maybe Glenn's only hobby in his previous life was to wipe and maintain his weapons.
Ensuring that weapons were always complete and in good condition was the most important thing in his previous life. It can be said that weapons were his family and friends.
So one time when Mr. Hawthorne got off work, he saw this scene - Hermione knelt beside Glenn with interest and leaned over to watch him caress his big baby.
Mr. Hawthorne was almost scared to death and rushed over to take the dagger away.
Then Glenn's butt was almost broken.
What should I do? It's too late to put it away.

Glenn showed great enthusiasm for weapons (pretending), and under his constant coquettishness (impossible), Mr. Hawthorne agreed to teach him how to use them when he grew up (not necessary), and promised to give him a small dagger on his 10th birthday.
Let's skip the episode for now. After that incident, Glenn's activities were restricted. When Mrs. Hawthorne found that Glenn was not interested in toys but showed great interest in books, she waved her hand and bought a bunch of books for him.
Well, children's books.
It was natural to put them aside and collect dust. Even Glenn, who had no childhood, would not waste time on them.
Little Hermione was quite interested in them. She stopped playing with her toys and came to Glenn's house every day to read books. If she didn't understand a word, she would just stick the book on Glenn's face while he was reading history, asking him to teach her.
"Na na~" The little girl pointed at this paragraph and looked straight at Glenn
"……"Glenn, who was reading the history book, closed the book and patiently read the sentence again.
The little girl showed great interest in books and knowledge. Her natural concentration and understanding surprised Glenn. Even though it was just a children's book, Hermione's potential was evident.
She just asked too many questions, like a curious baby. Of course, Glenn was not impatient. After all, the little girl was cute when she showed off and asked for praise after learning knowledge.
He taught her again and again without getting tired of it.
"Am I good? I learned a few more words."
"Um"
"……?"The little girl stared at Glenn in confusion.
"?"
""Why don't you praise me!" Little Hermione wrinkled her nose and was very angry.
Every time Glenn praised Hermione expressionlessly, the little girl would proudly put her hands on her hips, raise her chin and hum.
Who did she learn this from?
"Hermione, do you want to read faster and remember knowledge better?"Once, Glenn calmly closed the book and suddenly said
"I have a method to improve your reading comprehension skills that I can teach you. Glenn decided to teach the little girl how to read quickly and take notes quickly.
""I want to!" Hermione raised her head from the book, blinked her eyes, and looked at Glenn expectantly.
"But you can't let me call you sister in the future." Glenn stared at Hermione lying on the ground with an expressionless face.
Who told the little girl that she is older than me?!
"Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore." The little girl pouted and turned her head away
"……You were just born a few minutes earlier than me."
What a strange obsession!
"Big... a little bigger is still big, you are so thin, I am your sister and I can protect you, what's wrong with calling me sister?" Hermione said,"You don't even want to call me sister." Why is there so much drama!
Well, Glenn is indeed thinner than other children, even if he eats more than others, he still looks thin.
This is also what confuses Glenn. He feels that the vitality in his body is too strong, and there is a trend of continuous increase.
It feels strange, but no matter what, he can't burst himself.
"Okay, Sister Hermione, I'll teach you."
"Great!"
"But you have to control the amount of candy you eat, or I'll tell Uncle Granger."
"Woo……"The little girl was about to cry in grievance.
God knows why Allen bought so many candies for Glenn and Hermione to eat. Didn't he see the Grangers staring at him resentfully every day?
Being secretly ordered by Mr. Granger, Glenn had no choice.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. After all these years of getting along, he has already regarded the Grangers as his own family.
Then the Hawthorns and the Grangers are his superiors, and he obeys their orders unconditionally.
"I can’t criticize my own precious daughter, so I have to be the bad guy."
It’s really difficult.
