Chapter 67 Your Age
Nakahara Chuuya woke up the next afternoon, but because of his serious injuries, the doctor recommended that he stay in the hospital for observation and recuperation.
As soon as he woke up, he saw the "wild brother" who appeared out of nowhere and threatened to kill everyone close to him sitting next to his bed. He was so scared that he almost jumped up.
"Why are you here!?" Nakahara Chuuya stared at Weilan warily.
Wei Erlan looked at him sadly and said slowly, "I came to see you."
Nakahara Chuuya, who already knew how strange this guy's thinking was, didn't dare to relax at all. He asked nervously, "Where are my companions?"
I hope he hasn't killed me yet!
It's no wonder he thinks so. He is in the hospital now, and Verlaine is sitting next to his bed. Combined with what Verlaine said before, doesn't it seem like this guy has taken care of everyone and then kidnapped him!
Lan Tang is an old acquaintance of his and may not necessarily help him. And since even he can't beat Wei'erlan, it's obvious that no one else in the Port Mafia can beat him!
Wei'erlain did not answer immediately, but looked at him in silence for a while. When Zhongyuan also felt panic, he finally curled his lips and spoke.
He showed a look of regret, "Let them escape."
Nakahara Chuuya heaved a sigh of relief. He tried hard to hold back the pain in his body, half-raised himself and grabbed Wei Erlan's collar, "I'm warning you, if you dare to lay a hand on them, I will never let you go!"
Weilun was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Chu Ye, I plan to find a small place in the countryside to live here. You should leave the port mafia and come with me."
Nakahara Chuuya: “…”
In other words, why hasn’t this batch passed yet?
"Ah...ah...this, I can't do that..." Nakahara Chuuya said awkwardly.
Wei'erlaan's face suddenly darkened. "So they have finally caught you?"
"No!" Nakahara Chuuya was very tired. He was not stupid. If he agreed with him at this time, it would be like asking Weilun to kill his companion. Besides, they seemed to have been guarding him in his ward for quite some time. It seemed not good to attack him as soon as he woke up.
Nakahara Chuuya: Sometimes I hate myself for having such a high sense of morality :)
Nakahara Chuuya sighed: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Wei'erlaan's expression became gloomy again. He looked at Nakahara Chuuya and said quietly, "I want to help you get rid of this quagmire full of exploitation and darkness, and take you to live a peaceful and leisurely life without having to be troubled by your life experience..."
“Wait a minute,” Nakahara Chuuya interrupted him, “You know I am…”
In such a tense atmosphere before, Nakahara Chuuya didn't listen to what he said seriously, let alone analyze it in depth. Adam, who knew the situation, wanted to tell him about Verlaine and his origin, but Verlaine came too quickly last night, and he was trampled before he could say anything. Later, Nakahara Chuuya was sent to the hospital. At first, Lan Tang was guarding him, and then Verlaine was guarding him, so he couldn't even get in.
Lan Tang was relatively gentle in his approach. When he approached, he simply used his special ability to frame the ward. Wei'erlan was different. He simply dismantled the ward and threw it away.
——Adam spent the rest of the night repairing his body at the back door of the hospital.
"Chuuya, your source code comes from me." Weilun's expression finally became serious. "It is painful to know that you are an alien, because everyone around you will naturally have hostility towards us. But if everyone, including yourself, thinks that you are a human, you can get the same fairness as others."
"When you were still sealed, it was Arthur and I who broke your seal. Our mission at that time was to bring you back to France and hand you over to those upper-level people." Speaking of this, he lowered his eyelids with some sadness, "At that time, I betrayed Arthur. I didn't want to hand you over to them. At that time, I planned to let you live as a human for the rest of your life and never know your own life experience. But the explosion was too big. When I came back to look for you, I couldn't find you anymore. I thought..."
Nakahara Chuuya was stunned.
In a place like Leibo Street, kindness is a precious thing. Zhongyuan Chuuya did not meet Yang as soon as he became conscious, but Yang discovered him when he was just starting out in this world and seemed to have almost no ability to protect himself.
Unlike all the organizations that tried to recruit him after discovering his powerful abilities, when the Sheep first accepted him, they only accepted him as a protected member because he was a minor. This was the first person who showed kindness to him at the beginning of his life, so Nakahara Chuuya has always cared about this organization very much. He regards the Sheep as a family, so even if he was betrayed and hurt by these "family members" in the end, he was reluctant to hurt them.
He never thought that before he was born, someone had already shown him kindness, and in a way that was irreversible.
Not to mention the messy and complicated relationship between him and Lan Tang, being in the government system and working as a spy, he knew how much it would cost to betray the government. Even if he didn't know it before, he knew it more or less after dealing with politicians and financial officials in the past year.
The purpose of the person who did this was just to have an ordinary life. For those who live in darkness, they understand the beauty and value of this adjective better than ordinary people. It is what many people born in darkness want but cannot get.
Ozaki Kouyo is a living example. There are many people like her, and some even end up worse than her. Ozaki Kouyo is still a powerful attacking psychic, and her value determines her situation.
Nakahara Chuuya opened his mouth, but no words came out.
It was precisely this kind of kindness that he was least good at dealing with.
"I'm sorry, I came too late. If I had looked for you a little longer and not returned to Europe so quickly, I might have found you..."
Weilan was genuinely upset about this matter. He was the only one with the ability to manipulate gravity. Such an obvious ability, and in an unstable environment like Raymond Street, if he stayed a little longer, he would surely wait until Nakahara Chuuya used his ability and he would discover it.
Zhongyuan Zhongye turned his head away hesitantly, "What? This is not your fault..."
Then he heard Verlaine interrupt and ask, "Will you come with me?"
Nakahara Chuuya: “…”
“…I have to go to work too.”
After the original hostility faded a little, Nakahara Chuuya's words were no longer full of gunpowder.
However, Verlaine frowned and said, "At your age, you should go to school."
Although he had never been to school, Arthur had asked him before whether he wanted to go to school. However, due to his mental state at the time, he did not want to communicate with other irrelevant people, so he was naturally resistant to it, and ended up not going.
But he had at least thought about bringing his brother to live an ordinary life, and he had certainly checked what ordinary people would do in their lives. And although he had never been to school, it did not mean that he had not received an education, it was just that the educator was Arthur.
When he heard the word "go to school", Nakahara Chuuya was stunned again.
This word is too far away from him.
When he was in the Sheep, he occasionally fantasized about taking everyone to school, but reality always stopped him from thinking about it. After that, he joined the Port Mafia, and his work was always very busy. When he was on vacation, he would only think about relaxing, and of course he would not think about going to school.
He hesitated for a moment, "You don't have time for school or anything like that, right...?"
Verlaine pondered for a while, and suddenly, as if he had come to an understanding, he stood up from his seat and said in a calm tone, "Of course there will be time."
Nakahara Chuuya looked at his back as he suddenly left with great force, and slowly typed a question mark in his mind.
Not long after Verlaine left, he saw Adam, the robot who had come to give them the news last night (although he came too late and the information was wrong), peeking out of the window.
At least this toy robot helped him a little last night (although it didn't do much), and Nakahara Chuuya was quite nice to him and let him in.
Adam closed the door as soon as he entered. He was still wearing the clothes he wore last night, which were badly torn in the battle. There was gravel and dust in his short hair. In short, he looked ragged and dirty.
But he still sat down in the seat where Wei Erlain had just sat with a serious expression and asked in a calm voice: "Mr. Chuuya, are you okay?"
"...Are you okay?" Nakahara Nakaya was speechless for a while, "Do you want to go back and wash up and change clothes first?"
Adam tilted his head. "Theoretically, this is a robot detective, so all I need to do is repair the shell. Although this machine is made of waterproof materials, it does not need to be groomed like humans."
He paused and added, "When I came here, I didn't consider the need to change clothes or eat, so I didn't bring any clothes or spare money."
Nakahara Chuuya: “…”
So this means you didn’t bring enough money, right?
"Don't you need to replenish your energy? You need to buy energy, right?"
"This machine has enough reserve energy, and it is also equipped with solar panels, so there will be no problem of energy shortage."
Nakahara Chuuya looked him up and down speechlessly, "You look like a human now, after all. You should also act like one, right?"
Adam glanced at him strangely. "You too, the doctor too, you're all so weird. You're obviously a robot detective, why do you have to become like a human?"
Nakahara Chuuya had a blank expression on his face. "Because if you mess up this outfit a few more times, people will think you're a pervert and call the police to arrest you when you go out."
Is this guy really an intelligent robot instead of a mentally retarded robot?
