5 Chapter 5
The headphones Rambo had sent were of excellent quality. Even though the three people in front of Bailibian were making rich movements and expressions, he simply couldn't hear what they were saying. In this quiet and harmonious atmosphere, an hour passed, then two, then three. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Nakahara Chuuya stepped forward and slapped him awake.
But the negotiations are not over yet.
Nakahara Chuuya took a photo of him just to tell him - get ready, take off.
During the time of flying in the air, Baili Bian carefully recalled all the things he had encountered since he traveled through time, and finally came to the conclusion that the disparity in the world was so huge - in City A, if someone had a disagreement, at most they would do something immoral; but here, they would actually take off directly.
As if to accommodate Bailibian, who lacked flying experience and was prone to flight sickness, Nakahara Chuuya's flying speed lagged far behind Verlaine's. Even the distance between Verlaine and Rimbaud, him and Nakahara Chuuya, exceeded the range of his supposed supernatural power.
Aren't they worried about accidents? Baili Bian looked worriedly at Zhongyuan Zhongye, who insisted on keeping his distance. During a venue change, where everyone assumed there would be no accidents, it was often the perfect opportunity to escape. The young wife of the Gu family prince escaped during the move from an outdoor wedding venue to an indoor one. Three years later, she still hasn't been found.
After Nakahara Chuuya and Bailibian landed, he realized his worries were unnecessary. Everything had been calculated—a large crater had been blasted into a place that, while its original shape was no longer recognizable, was still vaguely recognizable as a high-end laboratory. Entering the core area of the laboratory, besides Verlaine and Rimbaud, there was also a stranger, and someone in the incubator with their eyes closed, it was unclear whether they were human or not.
Although he still couldn't hear any sound, looking at the stranger's crazy expression, Baili Bian could guarantee that the other party must be a mad scientist - although this thing has become rarer in City A than an old beggar who possesses peerless martial arts secrets, he had seen it when he was young. If he remembered correctly, the other party's wish seemed to be to destroy all mankind and give the world evolution.
It's unclear what the mad scientist said, but Verlaine, Rimbaud, and even Nakahara Chuuya all put aside their differences and focused their efforts on confronting the increasingly insane scientist. Realizing their fight was about to escalate from verbal attacks to physical violence, Bailibian tactfully gestured to Nakahara Chuuya to indicate his willingness to step aside for a while, considerately leaving them ample room for action.
Things ended quickly. Under the crushing force of gravity, N quickly disappeared from the entire world.
Rimbaud and Verlaine still had to worry about raising the newborn baby in the warehouse, while Zhongyuan Zhongye was concerned about the safety of Bailibian and took the initiative to walk out of the core area to look for each other.
Baili Bian didn't go far, stopping when he thought he was more than ten meters from the core area. That's why Nakahara Chuuya saw him the moment he stepped out. He was about to signal Baili Bian to remove his earplugs, but he noticed he had already done so. He spoke directly, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Baili. It's over. Well, although Rambo said he'll still pay the reward, and my brother is willing to contribute, I still owe you a favor."
Baili Bian nodded absentmindedly, looking at Zhongyuan Zhongye with an attitude of wanting to say something but stopping himself.
This unwell look could not be hidden from Zhongyuan Chuuya. He frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Could it be that he flew too fast when he came here?
"No, it's not." Bailibian didn't know how to express his thoughts, let alone what to do. He lowered his head, avoiding Zhongyuan Chuuya's worried gaze, then took a deep breath and said carefully: "Chuuya, that person, how is he?"
It suddenly occurred to Zhongyuan Zhongye that Bailibian, who had always lived in the world of ordinary people, probably couldn't accept killing. But the truth was clearly no longer concealable, so he patted Bailibian's shoulder comfortingly and said, "He's dead. Baili, it's nothing. He was a villain who conducted human experiments. He killed countless innocent people. His death is a good thing." Zhongyuan Zhongye looked at Bailibian's still lowered head and continued, "I was once captured by him for human experiments... There's another person in there, a person he just created... It's my younger brother. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Bailibian slowly raised his head and followed Zhongyuan Zhongye.
The topic had been successfully changed. Zhongyuan Zhongye felt a little worried, seeing Bailibian still lacking interest. Although he couldn't understand Bailibian's sudden silence and frustration, he still hoped that he could get out of this predicament as soon as possible. After all, the person who died was indeed a bastard who deserved to be cut into pieces. It wasn't worth grieving over such a guy.
When Nakahara Chuuya and Bailibian returned to the incubator, he found that Rimbaud and Verlaine were still frowning. "What's wrong?" he asked nervously. Was there something wrong with his brother?
Verlaine nodded silently, and Rimbaud said regretfully: "If the incubator is broken, he will die directly because he cannot adapt to the external environment. But we have no way to take the incubator away, and the subspace cannot accommodate him." But N is dead, which means that no one can continue to maintain this incubator, which means they only have two choices - first, kill him directly; second, watch him slowly die.
No matter which one, it cannot change the final outcome.
"Really? There's no way?" Nakahara Nakaye couldn't accept it, but seeing the helpless looks on Verlaine and Rimbaud's faces, he fell silent. If there was no way to change the inevitable outcome, then… Nakahara Nakaye looked at Verlaine and said with difficulty but determination, "Just…" At least, there would be no more unnecessary suffering.
"I can help," Bailibian interrupted Zhongyuan Chuye. He stepped forward and looked up at Rimbaud and Verlaine. "Within the range of my ability, death will not occur."
This was different from what he had said before. Rambo looked at Bailibian inquiringly. Ever since their conversation that night, Bailibian had never mentioned his special ability again. He and Zhongyuan Zhongye both believed that the other's special ability could only block external damage within a certain range, but now the other had personally shattered this lie.
It's not that Rimbaud couldn't understand why the boy concealed the truth. Although they hadn't been together for a long time, he could see that the other party didn't like to be in the spotlight and even yearned for an ordinary life in obscurity. So why did he take the initiative to reveal the truth?
"What do you want?" Weilun spoke first. He could tell the other party was looking for a deal. Although he had no idea what the other party was up to, for his brother's sake, he was willing to do his utmost to achieve this cooperation.
"Don't implicate those who are not directly involved in this matter." Baili Bian didn't say it very directly, but everyone present understood and let go of the people around those who were related to the experiment.
This wasn't a difficult matter, and they hadn't even intended to hold the relatives of the lab staff accountable. So the deal was easily concluded.
The plan was a success, and Bailibian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was leaving the lab, he found a cell phone in the corner. Although it had been smashed, the screen still displayed the last number it had called: Murase's. He wasn't sure what the relationship between the phone's owner and Murase was, but the length of their conversations suggested it wasn't a stranger who had called by mistake. Furthermore, Murase had told him he had a brother.
Bailibian felt no regret for the destruction of the lab. Even if Zhongyuanzhong didn't say it, he could tell from the traces left in the lab that it was an inhumane experiment. Even if he had known that Murase's brother was inside, he wouldn't have stopped their actions. He knew how to write "the crime deserves the punishment" and he could see the impact the experiment had on both the deceased and the remaining survivors, but... Murase couldn't die because of this. He might not be completely ignorant, but he definitely didn't know what his missing brother was doing. He was a good man, a good man who saved him and cared for him for a long time.
Bailibian's behavior did not cause much controversy, and even fits the image of him in the minds of Chuuya Nakahara and Rambo, a kind and enthusiastic child.
