Chapter 138
After watching Song Yue rustle away, Chen Xin got bored and started wandering around the cave.
This is a cave underground. It is obvious that it is not natural, but was slowly dug by Song Yue.
The experience she had had in the void for the past six months, being hunted by evil creatures, having no one to rely on, and then watching her sanity slowly fall, this intense feeling of loneliness and helplessness, just thinking about it, made Shen Xin feel a pain in her chest.
Place your hands on your chest and slowly let it calm down.
Suddenly, he saw an old backpack in the corner.
The style is somewhat familiar, it seems to be...
A special travel bag for the previous generation of investigators!
Chen Xin was stunned, then walked over uncontrollably and gently opened the bag.
Human bones stood upright in it.
He suddenly realized something, and his whole body felt like it had been electrocuted, and he stood there motionless.
This is...their bones...
Chen Xin suddenly went crazy and dumped out everything in his backpack. A piece of debris fell lightly. He picked it up and looked at it, stunned.
When Song Yue came back, she found Chen Xin sitting with his back against the cave wall, looking lost and depressed.
He turned his eyes downwards and saw the backpack he had used to carry the bones and photos next to him.
Everything is clear.
Song Yue said nothing, but skillfully threw the remaining limbs into the pile of corpses, wiped his tentacles on the ground as if washing his hands, then walked to his side and sat down.
“They’re great.”
Song Yue picked up one of the bones, looked at the name abbreviation and bureau number written on it, and spoke slowly.
"Look at this leg bone. There's this long scratch in the middle. It was left by the evil creature's claws. It means the evil creature scratched through his thigh."
"And this one, can you tell what part it is? It's the mandible, and both sides are crushed, indicating that the evil creature removed his jaw with its bare hands."
"And this..."
There are 21 bones in total, and Song Yue described every detail as if he knew them all by heart.
"This is Investigator Bai Ye." Song Yue pinched a palm-sized fragment and placed it in Shen Xin's palm. "Do you know why I took large pieces of bones from others, but only a small piece from her?"
"Because this is the only relatively complete piece."
Ana Shen trembled all over, and her lips felt numb.
However, he did not respond, but just nodded slightly, indicating Song Yue to continue.
Song Yue picked up the last small curved bone and said, "Investigator Chen Yu, this is his rib."
"The human body has 12 pairs of symmetrical ribs, for a total of 24. This is the only relatively complete one I have found."
Ana Shen understood her subtext, which meant that the other 23 were either broken or shattered, and there was no way to take them out and preserve them.
What kind of brutal battle could have caused a once brilliant generation of investigators to leave in this way?
Shen Xin gently stroked the fragments in his palm, then silently picked up the rib, and finally put them together, and said with difficulty: “Bai Ye is my mother, and Shen Yu is my father.”
"Yeah, I guessed it." Song Yue said calmly as he carefully stuffed the other bones back into his backpack.
She doesn't have the original owner's memories and actually doesn't know what happened back then.
But the woman in the photo is too similar to Ana Shen in both outline and temperament, and it is hard not to doubt the relationship between Ana Shen and the woman.
"However, I have a question." Song Yue said.
These investigators have been dead for at least several decades. If they are Shen Xin's parents, their ages don't quite match. It's okay to say they are his grandfather.
Ana Shen didn't hide anything and confessed, "I'm a frozen egg IVF baby. My parents were actively involved in the bureau's mission back then and were so busy that they couldn't get pregnant like a normal woman. So I was born 28 years after they died and was raised by Gao Qiyi."
The technology in this world is more advanced than her native world, so it is normal to have this kind of embryo culture technology. Song Yue nodded to show that she understood.
Afterwards, Shen Xin told her many stories that she didn't know.
For example, why his birth was delayed by 28 years.
After his parents' generation of investigators passed away, the bureau hadn't received any missions related to evil things for a long time, so there was not much demand for senior investigators at that time, and all the frozen embryos were not hatched.
It wasn't until about twenty years ago that evil creatures began to appear in various worlds, so the bureau began to incubate them in batches. As the descendant of one of the top senior investigators, Shen Xin was naturally included in the first batch of incubation list.
This explains why Shen Xin is only 22 years old despite being 50 years away from his biological parents.
In addition to the age aspect, Song Yue also noticed the time point that Shen Xin mentioned, "twenty years ago."
The Investigation Bureau may not be aware of this, but she knows the reason very well after coming to the void and seeing the corpses of the previous generation of investigators.
It was Bai Ye and the others who killed the new evil creature in the void.
Even if he was dragging his broken body, he would fight to the end.
Song Yue listened quietly, his eyes constantly looking at the tentacles swaying under him.
She had only been in the Void for half a year when her sanity began to decline. If Shen Xin had not arrived, she would not have realized that she had lost the part of her consciousness that belonged to a human.
Song Yue couldn't imagine how strong Bai Ye and the others' willpower was to have managed to survive in this desolate void for 30 years!
Not until their flesh and blood were gone and their bones were shattered did their breath finally disappear from this land.
Thinking of this, Song Yue turned around and handed the sword she brought out today to Shen Xin.
"This is your mother's weapon, a great sword."
After saying that, he climbed deeper into the cave and came over with a spear in hand: "This is your father's, a flat-bladed spear."
Shen Xin stared at it, his hand gently touching it, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Every time you go out to kill...time, you use my mother's weapon?" Unwilling to dwell on the past, Shen Xin wiped back her tears, looked up and asked Song Yue.
Song Yue shook her head: "No. I use the greatsword and the spear in turn."
Ana Shen was stunned: “Is there anything particular about it?”
Song Yue smacked her lips, her eyes darting back and forth: "...It's nothing special, it's just that I had no choice."
Shen Xin was confused. What was going on?
Knowing that he didn't understand, Song Yue could only sigh and cover it up for him: "Look carefully, these two represent your parents."
After saying that, he picked up the sword and prepared to go out.
At this moment, the spear left on the ground began to vibrate!
Yes, Shen Xin confirmed that he was not "seeing" wrong, the bare spear actually moved on its own!
“My father…he…” Shen Xin was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to organize the series of question marks in his mind.
Song Yue didn't respond, but turned around, put the sword on the ground, picked up the spear, and walked out again.
This time the spear no longer vibrated, but stayed obediently in Song Yue's palm.
Shen Xin: He felt like he had grasped something, but also like he had grasped nothing.
Song Yue came back and placed the two weapons on the left and right sides of the cave entrance.
After doing all this, she finally explained, "This is what your parents meant. Every time we go out to kill evil spirits, we have to take turns bringing them along. If, as I remember correctly, we bring the same person twice in a row, the other one will get very angry, just like you just saw. Your dad was so angry that he pounded the ground."
Chen Xin:???
He thought his parents had something to tell him, but it turned out to be a fight for the chance to go out and kill monsters???
Should we say that they are too dedicated, or are they like two little naughty kids who still fight with each other even at their old age?
Shen Xin is a little messy.
But he soon accepted the temper of his two elders.
Because Song Yue told him that these two were really not easy to mess with.
"One time, I put them together and they fell asleep when I heard some clanging noises. I thought something evil had entered the cave, so I got up and followed the sound. I saw your parents were fighting. :)"
"Can you imagine? Your mom slashed your dad with a sword. Your dad wanted to fight back, but he didn't dare. He could only hide in the corner."
"I was worried that your father would be beaten too badly, so I separated the two of you."
It turns out... the "no choice" she mentioned really meant no choice!
Shen Xin rubbed his temples, completely impressed by the two people.
"Oh, let me be clear. I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you two just now. I was just stating a fact objectively and impartially. Whether it's Aunt Bai Ye or Uncle Chen Yu, they are both very powerful. Without their help, I wouldn't be alive today."
Out of concern for his own life, Song Yue folded a disclaimer for himself with a pot lid on his head.
Fortunately, the weapons on both sides did not react at all. Song Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her uncle and aunt did not blame her.
The days in the void were boring, so boring that Chen Xin finally understood why Song Yue would rush out to harvest with weapons every time the time came.
There is nothing here, and they don't need to eat or drink. The only way they can kill time every day is to sleep and hunt.
In just a few days, Shen Xin synchronized his life rhythm with Song Yue.
The two of them would take the two elders out for a walk every day. After coming back, they would wash and dry them, and then chat in the cave, from their birth to the present, and from the present to the future.
"I have a feeling that if we were not in the void, we would be like that old couple." Song Yue put his tentacles on the ground, lying on his upper body, and said leisurely while swinging his legs.
Seeing her carefree look, Shen Xin smiled in his heart and said, it would be great if it were really like that.
Being with the person I love every day, doing the same thing, chatting about the past, talking about dreams, well, if there was another cute baby...
Oh no! What is he thinking!
Shen Xin's cheeks flushed red!
Stop, stop now!
Song Yue didn't know what was going through Shen Xin's mind. She only saw his face flushed red and he blinked suspiciously: "Are you having a fever?"
Then she reached up and touched him with her palm, then touched herself: "No, it's quite normal, is it because you are wearing too much?"
Her gaze traveled from his eyes, his lips, to his neck, and finally to his slightly open chest.
"I just noticed you're wearing a vest underneath. Take it off. The void has been a bit stuffy these past two days."
Song Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with her suggestion, and even directed her tentacles to help him unbutton his clothes.
Chen Xin stepped back in a hurry, his face so red that it was unbearable to look at.
He tightly covered the buttons on his chest and stammered, "...No, no, I'm not hot... I'll go out... for a walk by myself."
He got up and fled.
At this time, neither of them noticed that the two weapons placed on the wall of the cave had been emitting strings of pink bubbles since some time ago, just like the CP party in front of the screen.
The author has something to say:
Chen Yu: Hey hey hey, my son is really promising! Go!
Bai Ye: You're nothing, just like you were back then, it'll take forever to catch up with someone! (He covers his chest) (Sighs) (Angry children don't argue)
