Chapter 39 ...
When 12 was woken up, he was still a little confused and even frightened. Anyone would be scared if they suddenly saw someone who was soaking wet and was giving them a strange smile in the middle of the night, right?
Aji, unable to maintain a smile because of her sadness: ...
Aji said gently to 12, "We can go out today."
12 was being pulled forward in a daze, when suddenly he seemed to wake up and asked, "Where did Dad go?"
Aji pursed her lips. "I'm sorry he was discovered... Don't worry, I'll get you away from here."
12 suddenly opened his eyes and then lowered his head again.
At this moment, Aji did not see that 12's expression was not one of sadness.
The doctor was marveling at the sight; he certainly knew why.
He just didn't know if this kid Aji knew or not. Even though he watched Aji almost every day, he still couldn't figure out if the kid knew anything, how much he knew, or what he was thinking.
Soon, Aji led 12 swiftly through the forest.
They all have some injuries, more or less, especially number 12, who has many wounds of varying sizes.
At least Aji didn't look as disheveled.
Although the plan was to take him out, this forest was a place they had to pass through.
In the forest, every now and then one or two unusual or mutated plants will suddenly appear.
12 gradually ran out of energy, but Aji's speed was getting faster and faster, and he could hardly keep up.
Thinking of another one, I dodged the mutated wolf that brushed past me.
"Ah... Brother Ji, slow down... I... I can't keep up."
It's funny, even though he was the last one born, he was always called "brother" by 12.
Suddenly, 12 saw Aji's expression and immediately fell silent.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Aji smiled at him and then pulled him along to continue forward.
After that, no matter how difficult the situation became, 12 never said another word.
12's breathing grew louder and louder; he had reached his physical limit.
Suddenly a snake lunged at him, and 12's pupils constricted sharply; there was no way to dodge it.
Suddenly, he felt a pulling force on his hand, which abruptly pulled him towards him.
12 then realized that Aji had saved him.
A little stunned, he was about to say thank you when suddenly he felt something warm flow onto his eyes.
He touched it and it was...blood. He didn't react for a moment, and only then did he feel the sharp pain in his forehead.
Just like the diamond-shaped pattern on Aji's head, he also had one on his head; it was a mark of God.
It is also a storage of power, equivalent to their life.
He had no name; he was simply given a name by God at random.
Now, the rhomboid lens on my forehead has shattered.
12 hadn't even reacted to anything before she suddenly became dazed and confused.
Because this rhomboid lens is also connected to their brain.
As we all know, the brain is a mysterious place; who knows where you might get injured?
He continued to be pulled forward by Aji in a daze, and then, not knowing how long they had passed through or how much time had passed, suddenly a large expanse of light appeared before his eyes.
Yes, everything went black and I fainted.
Then when he woke up again, he found himself in a place full of foxes.
They called their brother the Son of God.
Why? He noticed that all the foxes there were looking at him with utter disdain.
His brother could become a god, but he was just someone his brother brought in, because his brother said that if he wasn't allowed in, then he wouldn't have come at all.
So he stayed for his brother's sake.
He was deeply moved by this, because he felt that his brother had not only saved him, but also stayed here for his sake.
He lived a very ordinary life inside. He stayed there, acting silly and clueless, but no one bullied him because his brother was the divine child in everyone's mirror.
Is this the outside world? It certainly seems better than what's inside. Someone once spoke of the outside world... Who said that?
His days here passed uneventfully and quickly; ever since he injured his brain, he had been in a daze and not very clear-headed.
One day, suddenly a lot of people appeared around him, and it was very lively.
He was puzzled, and then suddenly he saw his brother who was tied up.
I heard those foxes say something with an air of righteous indignation.
Then I turned my gaze to him.
He was afraid for some reason and tried to escape, but he was quickly caught and brought back.
They proclaimed him to be the divine son, saying his brother was a traitor and that only he was qualified to lead their fox clan.
A group of strange-looking foxes, dressed in human clothes, were making some bizarre and unrecognizable movements.
They are foxes...and he is a man.
Yes, I don't know why I suddenly had this realization, and then I couldn't help but turn my gaze to my brother.
But he found his brother laughing, showing no fear, sadness, or breakdown whatsoever.
Seeing that he was looking over, she touched his face. "How lucky you are, you just happened to have forgotten."
12 felt that the smile didn't seem like comfort, but rather malicious, as if someone wanted to watch him fall into the abyss.
The ceremony proceeded quickly, and then the fox, holding a dagger, stepped forward and approached Aji.
To preserve the integrity of the crystal, he made a much larger cut.
Yes, I know that glass, as a crystal, will inevitably suffer very serious damage.
Most of this harm was psychological; at least, he suffered it.
And it's obvious that he would die if the crystal were to be completely removed like this, rather than broken.
As time passed, the fox carefully scooped the entire crystal off along with the flesh.
Then, excitedly, she walked up to him and reverently brought the crystal she had cut off close to his crystal.
Then the fox brought the crystal close to it, and the broken crystal began to automatically absorb the energy inside.
12 suddenly felt an unbearable headache, and he could feel this power repairing his brain and his mental strength.
But his intuition told him that he didn't want to regain his memories.
In the end, you have to keep your eyes open and watch helplessly as they throw Aji's body outside.
Then, in a daze, 12 seemed to see that Aji's finger twitched slightly.
But how could that be?
When evening came, he was placed in an empty room, and he became completely lifeless.
His head no longer hurt. He not only regained his memories, but also, possibly due to the crystal, gained some of Aji's memories.
So he realized that he wasn't "Uncle's" child, even though he had known that for a long time.
He was an undercover agent planted by God from the very beginning to find this traitor.
That's why "Uncle" firmly believed that he was his child.
He used to believe in a god and never refuted any of the god's words.
So he led "Uncle" to that place without hesitation.
Because God said He wanted him to return to His side, to be back in His embrace.
Twelve was once very naive. He thought that if his uncle could live with them and serve the same god in the same place, he would be very happy.
However, he saw his uncle's tragic end in Aji's memories.
He realized... pollution is also a form of regression.
He even saw his real uncle's child in Aji's memories.
Aji saw that the boy had given him the teleportation item that the older uncle had given him.
As it turned out, the person who got these things immediately used the mask first and took everything else that was usable.
The child, after the makeover, looked even more like his uncle.
Aji kept smiling whenever he saw him, but he didn't understand what he was laughing about.
"Why don't you just call yourself Mr. Krabs from now on?"
"Jie Lao Ban?"
"Yes, Mr. Krabs."
——
The doctor looked at the situation with a complicated expression. He really couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.
That child is quite pitiful.
And more importantly... the words he heard that night.
"If I do this, I'll be able to see that person in the future, right?"
Then the next day he announced "treasonous" words to the fox clan.
Then everything proceeded smoothly; he had his crystals removed, and even died.
But think about it carefully, who will we meet in the future? A little thought reveals his ability – prophecy!
He should have known from the beginning what would happen to him after saying those things, and he probably even knew what his future would be like.
He even foresaw the ending of 12, and this is perhaps the most severe punishment for 12.
But he did it anyway, because only by doing so could he avoid any accidents and truly meet the person he wanted to meet in that future and at that time.
As expected, the matter is far from over.
The body, which had been left outside the forest, suddenly vanished.
It turned into a small ball of light, and no one knows how much time, how many years, or how many days passed.
Suddenly I heard a crunching sound, the sound of someone stepping on leaves.
"Why is there a ball here? Let's take a look at it later, since it appeared in a place like this." The voice was very pleasant, and the doctor knew immediately that it was their beloved director.
When the director put the ball into the culture to observe it, he thought of something, took out a similar object, and put it into the ball.
"This thing should have been with you, right?"
Then she performed a miraculous transformation, and the person she was performing was none other than Aji, whom the doctor knew.
Just by looking into his eyes, one can tell that this person has lost his previous memories and may even have some intellectual impairment.
The man asked, bewildered, "Ah... Uncle?"
The doctor felt a pang of conscience upon seeing this; he knew all too well the meaning the word "uncle" held for him.
It was of great importance to him; for him, the word "uncle" was almost something he had been pursuing his whole life.
Then he heard the director chuckle and say, "I'm not your uncle, you can call me director."
Aji hesitated for a moment, then changed her words. "Director."
