Chapter 529 The First and Last Photos

Alice's urn is not as gorgeous as others - it is inlaid with gems, etched with various complicated decorations, and handmade using various rare materials.

It was the most plain white stone box with no decorations on it. Even the photo above won't move, it's just a photo.

Alice, who looked to be in her twenties, showed a gentle and cheerful smile.

She was wearing home clothes and had part of her hair tied up in front of her left shoulder. The other part of hair is scattered casually behind her back.

And she was squatting on the ground, holding a young Russell who looked to be only five or six years old. Cheek to cheek.

The young Russell had a fluffy bob haircut and wore a long-sleeved sweater with a sleeveless sweater on top. He was politely held in Alice's arms. He did not struggle at all, but instead showed a gentle smile that was the same as Alice's. The wet turquoise pupils made him look more like a cute little girl.

"That smile..."

Delphinium murmured in a low voice, frowning.

With her familiarity with Russell and Alice, she immediately noticed the problem.

The similarity between the two people is not just because of their mother-child relationship...if you look closely, you will find that Russell's expression is "completely consistent" with Alice's.

Because they are so similar... so after Delphinium realized this, she felt a little creepy.

And Russell guessed what Delphinium was thinking.

He explained softly: "At that time, I had not yet awakened the memories of my previous life...I would instinctively imitate the people around me. And among the people I came into contact with, the people I thought were the most affable and the most amazing people were also That's my mother.

"At the beginning, Alice didn't realize the problem. Because children imitate adults, and she was a mother for the first time, and she also lacked some common sense... So until I went to school, she thought it was normal. Condition.

"Including the speed at which I learned listening, speaking, reading and writing, she didn't realize anything was wrong. Because before I went to school, I basically only had contact with Alice... The tone and clarity of my speech, including the expressions and demeanor when talking to others, were all outstanding. Exactly the same as Alice. She just thought I was a little smart and precocious, but didn't realize the extent of the problem.

"It wasn't until I made other children cry that Alice first realized that my learning abilities were abnormal."

"...Why did you make me cry?"

Delphinium was a little strange: "With Alice's character, she shouldn't bully others, right?"

"I didn't actually do anything."

Russell shook his head: "Did Lang Yin tell you before that I was very naughty when I was in elementary school? But in fact, I was not so naughty at the beginning.

"There was a child in the class at that time. His every move was very special... very interesting and cheerful. In just a few days, he quickly became friends with many people in the class. And the naughtiest person in the class was actually It's him, not me... Not to mention Lang Yin, even the teacher remembered it wrong.

“I had only been in school for a few days, and I was attracted by his energetic attitude and wanted to play with him.

"But when I was chatting with him, because I wanted to make friends with him and envied him for being able to make friends with other people, I subconsciously imitated his movements, his expressions, his tone, and his thoughts. Way.

"Then, he suddenly realized something instinctively, and began to look at me with fear, as if he had seen something indescribable and frightening... and then suddenly burst into tears.

"The teacher initially thought I had hit him, but after watching the surveillance video, he discovered that I was just chatting with him. Whether it was the teacher, classmates, or the child's parents... or even He himself didn't even realize what he was afraid of.

"'Being scared just because others imitate you' is something that others cannot understand. And because of my fear, I subconsciously hid what I learned after imitating. Instead, I used Alice's posture, Apologize to them neatly and sincerely.”

Russell looked at Alice's photo and said softly: "Alice was there at that time.

"She still didn't realize the problem at that time, so she apologized with the same tone and expression as me. The teachers all praised my politeness and well-behavedness, and comforted Alice.

"But that child seemed to have a strong sense of inspiration...just like the current one. He recognized at a glance that Alice's and I's smiles were 'exactly the same'. This made him cry out in fear and make a fuss. Non-stop.

"Because when he saw me, he would cry out in fear, tremble all over, and retching, so in the end he had no choice but to transfer to another school and leave. I also felt sad because a 'friend' left me for this reason. of sadness and pity.

"——So, with the abilities and character I acquired through studying him, I replaced his position in the class at an extremely fast speed. At that time, the classmates hardly remembered much, and soon the impression in their hearts became I.

"Because compared to him who is really naughty and lively, I am smarter and calmer at the same time. I relied on the likable ability I learned when imitating Alice, and my innate ability to sensitively control other people's emotions. Naughtiness never crosses the line - I will never do anything offensive, and I always consider neutralizing the impact of the joke after I make it.

"Soon, I completely replaced him. The first friends that kid made became my friends with almost no transition. And, I did even better than him."

"For example, there was a teacher who was sad because she didn't have a boyfriend in her thirties. So on her birthday, I made a fake cake with only a shell packaging. I said seriously that the handsome male teacher next door asked me to It was given to her, and he wanted to wish her a happy birthday. But when she opened the cake package happily, she found that there was only a flower carved out of a wooden board.

"I smiled and told the teacher, I am a bad boy, I lied to you, I am really sorry - there are no handsome guys, and there is no cake... But this flower was made by me as a birthday gift to the teacher. "

Russell looked at Alice's photo and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "The teacher was crying and laughing at the time. She warned me not to do this again. She hugged me and sucked me hard twice. Although she looked very fierce, I could detect it keenly. To...the teacher was very happy.

"When Alice came to pick me up that day, she and the teacher chatted for a long time. Finally, the teacher took a photo of us.

"--that's it."

Russell touched the photo gently and murmured in a low voice:

"This is the first photo of me and the last photo of Alice.

"It was also from this time that Alice realized that I was different. She handed me over to the bishop to learn how to behave in the world."
