Chapter 120 Brother
younger brother.
The person being questioned is referred to as "brother".
Lin Han listened to it many times, and chose to trust his own judgment after repeated repetition.
He was also certain that his sudden improvement in mental state began after he caught the word "brother".
Lin Han was dragged into an abyss of doubt and resentment by those three words.
He knew very well that everything had a reason, and that the current situation in the New World was inseparable from his own indulgence and pandering, but at that time he blamed everything on everything except himself.
The New World itself is at fault, those who were not chosen by the New World are at fault, Song Ziyi is at fault, and Liu Guoqiang is at fault.
The New World Strategy Center, which had not really forced him, made matters worse. Even Yin Yue and Wen, who only appeared in the dungeon, and those monsters and players that he could defeat or not, were not spared.
It seemed that he was the only one who was completely innocent in the whole incident.
When he was in that abnormal mental state, he came up with many ridiculous reasons and attributed them to everyone he met.
Lin Han might have laughed when he heard these reasons, which were unreasonable to the extreme, but he was so convinced at that time.
This in itself is a fairly clear abnormality.
Until he heard the word "brother" clearly, and while silently repeating "why" along with the voice, Lin Han also read out the two words.
Then the impact of those voices on him seemed to become less severe, enough for his own thoughts to take control of his brain, and he was able to control himself step by step slowly like a normal person.
Coincidentally, Alfred's voice also appeared in his ears at that time. Lin Han followed the direction of the voice and groped out from the boundless darkness.
At this moment, Lin Han, who was already safe, was sitting on the bed, and he seemed to be still having some auditory hallucinations.
Even though the sound was no longer echoing in his ears, he always felt that he heard it again.
Lin Han shook his head subconsciously.
It's a really scary feeling of being out of control.
My consciousness cannot control my body and thoughts. I don’t want to think in dangerous and abnormal directions, but I have to think in those directions.
This is almost the same as looking at yourself in the mirror and silently using your "exclusive perspective" on yourself.
Even worse than before.
Lin Han heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved for a moment.
Alfred seemed to be waiting for him to calm down. During this time, he did not speak, but just sat quietly and watched him.
When Lin Han turned her head to look over, he once again gave her a soothing smile, and the long-lost sense of security once again filled Lin Han's body.
The originally cold body slowly warmed up and gradually regained consciousness.
Lin Han rubbed the bed with his fingers gently, and felt the warmth under his nails.
He turned his head awkwardly, avoiding Alfred's gaze and no longer looking at his face.
During the time when he was daydreaming, he blamed everyone harshly, and the one who was blamed the most was Alfred in front of him.
He had too many identities: a mentor, the closest teacher to him, and a friend he felt was quite familiar with. He didn't know if Alfred thought so, but he did think so...
In short, for various reasons, Alfred took most of the blame placed on Lin Hanan.
After cursing him behind his back for so long, he finally helped you out of your misery. When you opened your eyes again and met his eyes, it was no wonder that Lin Han felt embarrassed at this time.
His little thoughts were too obvious. Alfred raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "It seems that I have committed a heinous crime?"
He knew better than Lin Han the possible impact of that question.
Lin Han scratched his cheek, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable: "No."
Lin Han: “…”
If he had remained silent, he could have pretended not to know what Alfred was talking about, but he had already answered without hesitation.
After two dry coughs, Lin Han slowly turned his gaze back and forced a smile despite the other person's smile which did not contain any blame.
When he wasn't awake, he should have been very quiet and said nothing.
But no matter whether he said it or not, Alfred had no intention of delving into it, and Lin Han just pretended that he didn't know.
He had more important things to ask Alfred than this.
The topic changed in an instant.
"Chenchen has a brother?"
Lin Han still remembered the live broadcast, so he didn't really speak, but chose to ask questions in his consciousness again.
No one had ever told him the importance of this matter, but Lin Han tacitly agreed that it was not something that could be made public.
Alfred stood up and for the first time lowered the bed curtains that were fixed on both sides to cover Lin Han who was still sitting on the bed.
"yes."
He answered without any hesitation, as if he had already known for sure that Lin Han would ask.
Lin Han had been in the academy for so long, but he had never told him that Jiang Xuchen had a brother. As Lin Han's most basic source of information, Shen Qiuqiu had never mentioned it either.
He wasn't sure whether Shen Qiuqiu didn't know or didn't tell him, it didn't matter.
Lin Han only recently learned some of Jiang Xuchen's family relationships. Ling Yueqing, the dean of the academy, is his mother. As for who his father is and who else is in his family, he has no idea.
Before he heard the word "brother", he may have thought about it briefly, but he was not curious at all.
It is not ethical to pry into other people's lives unless they actively tell them that private information.
But if anyone can have a brother, it can only be Jiang Xuchen.
In Lin Han's opinion, among so many people in the academy, young and old, including many students he had met and only greeted, the only one who had an older brother and let others accompany him to deal with this trouble was Jiang Xuchen.
He was called "Young Master" by everyone in the academy and was spoiled by everyone.
No matter what he does, he is tolerated by everyone.
He doesn't walk properly and likes to be carried around. He sleeps wherever he goes and acts like a spoiled child when he's in a good mood. Everyone obeys him, and that's out of their love and respect for him.
Even though he looks like a cute and well-behaved child.
so......
Lin Han asked, "Is his brother the bug in each dungeon you mentioned?"
"yes."
Alfred's answer was still as quick as ever.
Yin Yue is him, Wen is him, the BUG that never showed up in the [We Are Together] copy is him, the monster that kept covering his eyes from behind in the [Behind] copy is also him, and in the [One Day] copy where he is now, the unseen existence that decides who can "stand out" in the end is also him.
They are all Jiang Xuchen's brothers.
Different names, different looks, different personalities, seemingly completely different people, all the same.
"Then what similarities do Chenchen and I have?" Lin Han asked again. "What similarities do Chenchen and I have?"
He recalled that when he was mediating with the moody Silver Moon, he had been trying to imitate an existence he did not understand or know, and to ease Silver Moon's emotions with what he thought was "new" so as to prolong his own survival time.
Yin Yue enjoyed it very much and didn't dare to attack Lin Han until two minutes before Lin Han was about to successfully pass the level.
Rather than gaining new experiences from him, the desire to erase his emotions prevailed.
But Lin Han didn't know what similarities there were between the person he was trying to imitate and Jiang Xuchen. If he really judged it based on his own judgment, there was no connection between them.
Lin Han liked Jiang Xuchen from the first moment she saw him.
He has golden hair, golden eyelashes, and golden eyes, and is still at the chubby age of a child. Although he doesn't seem like a child in his words and deeds, he is more rational than most adults, but he is used to expressing everything by acting coquettishly.
He is very cute.
When Lin Han was young, he was also a very well-behaved and lovable child. Both the Lin and Song families liked to tease him and make him happy.
When he was younger, Song Ziyi also loved to take him out to play and brag to others, "This is my younger brother."
Lin Han was stunned. Is it just because of this?
No, Lin Han shook his head and erased this guess from his mind. It wouldn't be that simple.
Judging from appearance alone, he and Jiang Xuchen are two completely different people. Jiang Xuchen is as high-profile as the little sun. To be honest, Teacher Anna, whom he has only met once, is closer to Jiang Xuchen's style.
Lin Han couldn't figure it out, he couldn't find any similarities.
But Yin Yue and Wen found him accurately, and even the monster with a slightly childish face chose him among the five people.
Lin Han was waiting for Alfred's answer.
He couldn't find the answer himself, and only Alfred, who knew the whole thing very well, could help him solve the puzzle.
At this moment, Alfred had already lowered the bed curtains, and the bottom edge of the curtains had been tidied up by him, hanging obediently by the side of the bed.
The light from the ceiling of the room could not shine in due to the three layers of curtains, and the space above the bed immediately became dim.
Lin Han could only vaguely see Alfred's figure but not his face, so when he was silent and did not answer quickly like before, Lin Han wondered if Alfred was not in a position to answer him.
He had no way to urge the other party.
Fortunately, Alfred was probably just organizing his words.
"There are no two identical flowers in the world," two people who couldn't see each other clearly communicated in their minds through the curtain, "but you and the young master have similar shining points in your souls."
Alfred spoke seriously, but Lin Han looked confused. He grabbed the quilt and did not answer.
This was beyond his comprehension.
"He's actually never actually seen the young master. His knowledge of his appearance comes entirely from us, but that's not important."
Alfred walked away and folded the blanket on his stool, but he did not interrupt his conversation with Lin Han.
"They can't really meet, because he'll lose control. He knows you're not like that, but the similarity between you gives him some comfort."
"There's no more we can say here, he can hear it all."
Lin Han: “…”
He had always thought that their communication in consciousness was like encrypted communication, but Alfred told him that this was not the case in the copy.
According to Alfred, they were absolutely hostile to each other. How could brothers who had never met each other develop such strong hatred?
That him, Jiang Xuchen's brother, would seek comfort for his missing younger brother in him who was similar to him.
But Yin Yue was so cruel that she wanted to kill him. Wouldn't he have felt like he was killing his own brother at that time?
Lin Han still had so much he didn't understand, his mind was a mess, but Alfred no longer spoke to tell him more information. Perhaps only after finishing this copy could he get an answer from him.
It is also possible to get the answer from Jiang Xuchen himself.
Because of the information he knew today, Lin Han thought of Jiang Xuchen who crawled behind him like a monkey and slept obediently that day. Was it because... he had the scent of his brother?
"Today's situation is rather special. You need to get some rest," Alfred said softly through the curtain, saying his final goodbye today. "I'll come back tomorrow."
The sound of a door closing was then heard, and the only one left in the room was Lin Han, who was sitting there in a daze, staring at the new information with a confused look in his heart.
He learned too much today, and it would probably take him a long time to digest it all.
