Chapter 40: It's Like Crying and Drunk After Drinking
Bad Day is not unaware that the person in front of him is not the real Alice, but her child.
But even though I knew it clearly in my heart, my eyes still couldn't help but become moist when I heard the voice that was so familiar that it was engraved in my memory say "Xiao Jing" softly.
At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the boyhood that started when he was a few years old and ended when he left the family in his teens.
Nanliu Jing is the child prodigy most promising to become an elf director, and his father is the patriarch...
Logically speaking, he should enjoy a happy childhood.
But it was a beauty he had never experienced before.
His parents seemed to worship him more than they loved him.
They were afraid that they would leave any disrespectful or bad memories for Nan Liujing, and that they would harm the family after his body was controlled by the directors... They also always urged Nan Liujing to learn everything he could, so that he would continue to
Tempering his body; the food he usually eats pays more attention to nutrition than taste, and the servants clean his body like a statue of a god.
He does not seem to exist as a human being, but as a vessel, a tool.
The utensil named "Nanliu Scenery" is forged to perfection, like a work of art that has been repeatedly carved, and is carefully held in people's hands.
...In this case, the hired teachers and doctors, Sheath and Alice, became his real parents.
The stern and knowledgeable Sheath has extremely powerful swordsmanship and fighting skills, and knows many great principles.
He seemed to know everything, understood everything, and never tolerated some bad habits of Bad Ri. He strictly taught Bad Ri, who had been spoiled to the point of stubbornness, like a determined gardener, gradually pulling out the weeds in his heart.
Correct his bad habits one after another.
Although extremely strict, Hao Ri admired him from the bottom of his heart.
And the "doctor" is so beautiful... It's not the exquisite appearance, but the beauty and confidence that comes from the depths of her soul. She is a real lady from a famous family, and every move she makes is elegant.
She took care of Nan Liujing tenderly, not as a tool but as a child and a younger brother.
When he was wronged, he would lie in Alice's arms and cry.
He would occasionally catch Alice and act coquettishly, and when he was injured or sick, Alice would treat him carefully...
When she gets older, she will learn some new knowledge with herself.
Those who kill, those who save people...and those who "become human".
She told herself what was right and what was wrong; what was righteous and what was despicable.
She answered every question she had and treated physical or psychological trauma.
When the weather is nice and sunny, "Sheath" and "Doctor" will travel with Nanliu Scenery. Go to the mountains to overlook the earth and see the green grass and the legendary cattle and sheep; go to the snow-capped mountains and glaciers to look at the sky together
The gray-white lightless moon.
If Nan Liujing did something wrong, the doctor would apologize on his behalf to the brothers and sisters who were bullied by him. With the help of the doctor, the children who had been fighting would get back together again. The sheath could write very good calligraphy, writing
Some ancient poems that only a few people knew. He would take Nanliu Jing and his friends to teach them the meaning of these poems word by word, and tell them some fables that sounded like they were made up.
Teach them the principles they should follow as a human being.
Because of this, Nan Liujing's biological parents have always been just an illusory symbol to him, and the relationship between him and his brothers and sisters is actually better.
Likewise, Bad Ricai always felt guilty towards Russell.
Russell is the biological child of those two people. But he has enjoyed the love of both parents in advance, which Russell has never enjoyed.
If other people were like Alice, they would only feel the rage when the most beautiful memories of the past are touched.
But he is Russell.
The meaning is completely different.
Because he has the maturity and wisdom of Sheath and the gentleness and justice of Alice.
He has the same laziness as that man, and similar appearance and spiritual connections to her.
Bad Day lowered his head and closed his eyes. On the one hand, it was so that Alice could raise her hand and touch her head like before...and on the other hand, it was also to hide the tears that had accumulated in her eyes for a moment.
Fortunately, he still had the prosthetic eye, so his vision was not blurred.
But if you can see clearly with one eye but not the other, you will feel a stronger and more dizzy feeling.
It's like crying and getting drunk after drinking. It's like crying aggrievedly in front of the photos of the past... until the tears fill the lake.
"...You must be very tired."
Alice looked at the silent bad day, gently stroked his hair with her hands, and murmured softly.
The technique is exactly the same as that of Alice in the past.
He was not as tall as Alice at that time.
After studying hard, he would squat in front of Alice, put his head on Alice's lap, and wait eagerly for her to touch his head.
When Alice gently strokes his head and his white dog ears, which were still somewhat rounded when he was young, his tail will wag as if it is about to fly up.
Bad Ri's whole body trembled violently, and he straightened up suddenly.
He stretched out his right hand to block his only naked eye. His emotionless left eye reflected a cold light like a diamond, and a big, bright smile appeared on his face that was very inappropriate for him.
"alright!"
He said very loudly, even a little noisily: "This guy just stays here...we will take you back first!"
"You probably don't know yet, but Delphinium has also joined our Tower of Babel! Silence and I are the helpers she asked to save you."
Just like the sound of a delphinium making a loud noise with her mother.
When he lets go of his voice on a bad day, his voice becomes as loud as a dog barking.
But even though the sound is so loud, there is still a tremor in Bad Ri's voice that cannot be hidden.
But neither Alice nor the silence, nor the bird of paradise huddled behind Alice, said anything.
After Bad Ri took a deep breath, he released the hand that was blocking his eyes.
In just a few seconds, his mind adjusted itself at high speed and regained his composure at an extremely fast speed.
He walked forward and opened the door back to the Special Enforcement Department office for Alice.
Bad Day was still teasing: "I still have to let Miss Delphinium take a look. Her cat suddenly changed... hmm? Miss Delphinium?"
After he opened the door, he suddenly paused at the door.
"...What happened to her?"
Upon hearing this, Alice opened her eyes slightly and walked over quickly.
Delphinium's waist was still connected to the auxiliary device sneaked into the network, and she was unconscious on the table.
There was a look of pain on her face, and transparent colorless sweat oozed from time to time on her forehead, but when the sweat dripped on the paper, it showed a dark blue color.
"Delphinium!"
Alice was suddenly startled. The gentle temperament belonging to Alice in her body immediately dissipated, and the abnormality in her whole body disappeared quickly.
As she hurried towards the Delphinium, a part of her body was restored with every step she took. After taking five steps, she transformed back into Russell's appearance.
Russell eagerly walked to Delphinium and first checked whether the auxiliary device was successfully disconnected. After confirming that Delphinium's spirit body had returned to his body, he disconnected the device.
Delphinium, whose lower back was hanging on the instrument and whose upper body was leaning on the table, finally fell completely and was caught by Russell.
He touched Delphinium's forehead and exclaimed: "It's so hot... Does she have a fever?"
"She's okay...or maybe something is wrong."
Bad Ri's expression became serious: "She is talking to her demon... or fighting. She may not be unconscious for long."
"Is awakening a demon so painful?"
Russell was a little panicked for a moment: "What can I do?"
"...You are a special case, Russell."
Bad Day shook his head: "This is her battle, you can't do anything. But you can make her sleep better... Move her to the bed."
"Then should I send her back? That's not right..."
Just as Russell was about to send Delphinium home, he suddenly calmed down.
In this case, the parents of the delphinium will undoubtedly start to worry.
The point is that it’s useless for them to worry…
"I'll take her back to my house first. The Special Enforcement Department is not a place where you can have a proper rest. And it's not the past. It's just me and her..."
Russell quickly decided: "I'll go tell her parents and tell her that Delphinium will live in my house for the next few days."
