Chapter 1195 Chapter 1192 "【I Had a Happy Childhood.】"

Chapter 1195 Chapter 1192·"【I had a happy childhood.】"

Noel was once a victim of a human experiment.

The criminal was finally caught by the police and he was sent to an orphanage.

In the orphanage, he met many bad kids. The child who was jealous of his appearance threw dirty water on him. The child who couldn't stand his intelligence wanted to push his head into the water...

However, he designed some traps. The former was scratched by a cat, and the latter slipped into the river while playing. As long as he showed a sympathetic expression, everyone would think that it had nothing to do with him. After all, who would suspect a poor little thing?

If you want to protect yourself, let the perpetrator fall into the trap first.

This is the way of survival for geniuses.

However, after being adopted, he didn't need those intrigues.

His adoptive father is a well-known musician and his adoptive mother is an international jewelry designer. They treated him very well. He just mentioned it a little, and they gave him piles of books.

In the deep night, he held the books, as if floating in a sweet fantasy. He read the mirror figure in Jane Eyre who was sent to Lowood Orphanage. It turned out that the world really does not pity the humble and lonely people. Once you are gentle, you will be gentle every day. He read the perfect villain Thenardier in Les Miserables, who is the embodiment of all the dark forces in society, but because of his bad intentions, Jean Valjean was cleared of all charges and accidentally completed the only good in his life. He also read about Youqing's absurd death. The moonlight shone on the road, like salt.

"Noel, what kind of person do you want to be?" One day, the adoptive mother was watering the golden sunflowers in the backyard: "Literary writer? Mathematician? Physicist?"

"Adventurer."

He answered under the fluffy golden hair.

"Adventurer... That's also romantic." The adoptive mother did not say anything like "no future" or "you must have a proper job", but supported him very much.

They talked about the world in the book, the scenery of various places, and the sunflowers in the backyard... The precocious child and the romantic adoptive parents seemed to be peers.

His parents loved romantic activities, such as musicals, hand-tossed balls, puppet shows... There were many wooden dolls in the room, and the family always performed dramas with silk threads in their spare time. His father played the male lead, his mother played the female lead, and Noel played the child.

Noel felt comfortable and even had a slight attachment to this kind of life... Is this "love"?

Whenever he looked in the mirror and saw the hideous surgical scars on his body, he felt like a broken glass bottle, which was slowly being filled with happiness.

One by one, colorful star candies fell into his chest, jingling and colliding in the bottle, sparkling.

On the day when Noel was twelve years old, his adoptive father mentioned someone: "This time I went to Longguo for a performance and saw the famous pianist Ms. Lin. She was not in good condition. I don't know if it was because of her five-year-old child."

Noel didn't care about the strange Ms. Lin, and only asked: "Is the scenery in Longguo beautiful?"

"Our adventurer, if you want to travel around the world in the future, you must go to Longguo to see it! It's beautiful there." The adoptive father stretched out his hands and lifted him high.

Noel fluttered in the air. He was so old, and he was still being held up like this!

The whole family laughed.

The room was filled with the scent of lavender, and the fields outside the window were endless. Windmills were embedded in the blue sky, like butterflies flapping their wings slowly. The golden sunflowers swayed, as if the happy time would never end...

...

[Youqing was the first to die suddenly. ]

["Youqing will not come running on this road." His mother said. ]

[——"To Live"]

...

All the thousand books on the bookshelf had been read, but Noel did not ask his parents for new books because they had a quarrel.

The reasons for the quarrel were nothing more than those: the trivialities of life, some disagreements in concepts, and the nagging of parents.

In the evening, his parents took him to the amusement park. Noel thought that they had not reconciled yet, so he refused to follow them and entered the grid of the Ferris wheel alone.

When the Ferris wheel rose, his parents waiting on the ground were getting farther and farther away from him. He opened the book he carried with him and read it attentively.

——So he did not hear the screams on the ground.

In the dim evening, he leaned against the small door of the Ferris wheel, curled up and read the translation in the book, like a cat half asleep and half awake.

The moonlight sprinkled on his golden hair, like an eternal light.

…

"【…I looked at the winding path leading to the city, and I couldn't hear the sound of my son running barefoot. The moonlight shone on the road, as if it was sprinkled with salt.】"

…

"Who are you——!"

"——Where is your child?"

"What child? I don't understand what you are talking about."

"——I thought he could be easily taken away from the orphanage, but you adopted him. It seems that you really love him, poor parents... You don't seem to know what happened to him. He is our most outstanding experimental subject."

"What experimental subject...you..."

"——It's a pity that your kindness has brought you a big trouble. The mistake is that you shouldn't have adopted him."

"Tell Noel to run! Fanny, shout loudly——"

"Bang! Bang!"

Two slight sounds, like the sound of a silenced gun.

Then, there was the sound of two bodies falling to the ground, not heavy or loud.

…

"[...It was time to bury Youqing, but I couldn't bear to part with him. I sat in front of my parents' graves, hugging my son and refusing to let go. I let his face stick to my neck. Youqing's face seemed to be frozen. Already...】"

…

The Ferris wheel reaches the top and begins its descent.

Noel was reading a book and putting triangular blocks on the table.

There was a slight regret in his heart. Shouldn't he be angry over trivial matters? After all, the veal braised in white sauce last night was delicious, and my mother also made strawberry pudding...

Just count one, two, three silently.

After counting silently, the grid of the Ferris wheel fell to the ground. He opened the grid door and told his parents - I forgive you. Even if you always leave me at home to read, it doesn't matter. I am not a naive child and cannot understand how busy you are.

Counting silently in mind.

one,

two,

…

"[...Thinking that Youqing will never speak again or run away with his shoes, my heart aches. It hurts so much that I can't even cry.]"

…

three.

The Ferris wheel touches the ground.

He stopped reading, and like a brave man about to enter the forest, he pushed open the lattice door with a "click"——

He looked toward the door, his lips slightly parted.

He wants to tell them - I forgive you, mom and dad, let's continue the puppet show, okay? Last time we played Fantine selling her hair, now it's time to move on...

What greeted him was not his parents, but a gun.

"Click".

The black hole on the muzzle was stained with blood, which was the result of being shot at close range. At the last moment, my father threw himself at the gangster with his bare hands, leaving my mother a chance to survive.

But it didn't work.

No one succeeded.

Two cold bodies fell to the ground, blood spilled out, staining the blue rose walking stick used by his father on tour red.

The Ferris wheel was still spinning slowly, and the blocks on the table collapsed. He kept opening the door, as if frozen.

He was pulled away from the Ferris wheel and faced two cold corpses. The strange man in a white coat said with interest: "Say something. Beg for mercy, roar, cry bitterly... We finally caught you."

People put up his arms, and his blue eyes turned into a cold silence that gradually settled in the sea.

Maybe he should have understood that this is the world's preference for genius. Whatever is given to you, always take something away.

Whenever his parents touched the scar on his back, he would tremble slightly - this was a legacy left in him. But he always felt that the pain was over and happiness had arrived. Tragedy will not follow him like a shadow, he will live happily, just like a normal child.

But this seems wrong.

Reality is not a fairy tale.

These criminals who conduct human experiments come from a certain cult. They once dug up information about "eternal life" in the polar regions, and speculated that this information might be a gift from outer space. As a result, they began to capture orphans from various places and conduct crazy human experiments. They had an experimental city, and among the countless children who died, Noel was the most successful experimental subject - but was saved by the police.

But there is more than one den, and the darkness of the world cannot be washed away by justice. People who pursue "eternal life" exist even at the top - how can the justice of the common people be demonstrated?

Therefore, even after chasing the adoptive parents, these people did not give up and must take Noel back.

He never thought that these people would be so lawless.

It is not right to be greedy for "love".

"[...I know that dusk is fleeting]." Facing the crowd, he did not cry or beg for mercy.

They looked at him inexplicably, not understanding what he was talking about.

"[Darkness fell from the sky.]" He looked at the blood flowing on the ground.

——I saw the vast land with its strong chest exposed, which was a calling gesture.

——Go there, the leaves will wave to you, the stones will smile to you, and the river will greet you. There is no poverty or wealth there, no sadness or pain, no hatred or hatred... There everyone dies equal.

He asked: "Where is that place?"

I said: "Death has no place to die."

(——Yu Hua's "The Seventh Day")

…

If I had not seen the light, I would not long for it in the darkness.

If I had not experienced happiness, I would not miss the past in never-ending pain.

But, dear, tell me.

Why are those days gone forever?

…

Noel's body is forever frozen in time as a teenager.

He did not tell anyone about the pain he suffered.

His happy childhood lasted only three years, and the rest was a long period of experimental torture. But when Su Mingan asked, he just smiled and said——

——[I had a happy childhood].

For him, it was just three years.

That’s all.

…

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

Why Noel was reduced to an experimental subject before he was eight years old, how the twelve-year-old Noel grew up to be twenty-five... There are no memories of these. He had no chance to save Noel. The story ends abruptly when Noel is taken away.

But he can complete it on his own - why Noel saw him as a child on the street.

Noel must have been close to 20 years old at that time and had already escaped the clutches of human experimentation. So Noel came to the Dragon Kingdom to travel according to his father's words before his death. So, his future best friend accidentally appeared in his life.

Moreover, Noel knows how painful human experiments are, so when he holds the scalpel and gives children the ability to protect themselves, he has already practiced the least painful surgical method.

As for those painful and roundabout surgical wounds... he had already tested them himself.

All the pain has been left to his childhood, and no new children will suffer from it.

"It turns out that before the start of the World Game, there were already high-dimensional forces spying on Zhai Xing... The immortality data in the polar regions were obviously not created by humans." Su Mingan said to himself.

Now it seems that Noel should have completed his revenge long ago, and the cult has long ceased to exist. The fantasy of "eternal life" has not been realized, but only the physical time has been frozen.

What if Su Mingan could also help Lu Shu get revenge and fulfill his shortcomings? But for Noel... Su Mingan has no way to interfere with his past. Noel is complete, there is nothing to make up for. If he hadn't seen the memory fragments, Su Mingan would never have thought that Noel had suffered such a brutal experiment - almost no different from Su Wensheng when he was a child.

Noel looked extremely optimistic, like a standard child who grew up in a happy family. No one would doubt his cruel childhood.

"...Su Ming'an?" Xiao'a's voice came from behind: "I picked up Lu Shu's fragments, do you want to see them?"

Su Mingan looked back at him.

After a while, he asked softly:

"Little Aba, how did you hold on?"

Xiao'a's eyes flickered for a moment, switching to the dark blue belonging to Dieying: "...that's not called 'support'."

"Um?"

"It should be called...'experience'. I don't agree that my childhood was miserable, and I don't need pity or sympathy."

"Does Noel think like you?" Su Mingan said.

"I have nothing to do with him, so I don't know." As if he had touched on an unhappy topic, his dark blue eyes quickly switched back to azure.

Su Mingan looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance.

Parents and children walked into the Ferris wheel. The soft colorful lights dimmed the light, and the laughter floated far away.

Some children are wearing mechanical arms and skeletons and should be members of the New World Guild. There was no pain on their faces, no silent despair.

They don’t have to cry in their personal space, and they don’t have to be treated like pigs by adults—under Noel’s surgery, they have the ability to protect themselves and will not experience the helplessness similar to that of a Ferris wheel.

——Let’s go over there.

There the leaves will wave to you, the stones will smile at you, and the river will greet you. There is no poverty or wealth, no sorrow or pain, no hatred or hatred.

The blood flowing from the predecessors, the scalpel changing direction, the smile on the genius's face.

——When Noel Akini faced his painful past, held a scalpel on a child who longed to become stronger, and repeatedly recalled his own trauma and PTSD to gain surgical experience—he never cared—

Others judge him as an angel or a devil.

Therefore, when he answered Su Mingan's question with a smile, he never cared -

——His past should be classified as pain or "happiness" in a conceptual sense.

…

[I am indulged in imagination and tightly controlled by reality. I clearly feel the split in myself. 】

[A happy moment is to taste the good tea in front of me with your heart, which makes the happy feeling at this moment more mellow, and you who are chatting with me in front of me are the source of my happiness. 】

【——"Alive"】
