Chapter 985 [View] Becoming a Gentle Person
...
"Don't go to Japan."
The boy, having removed the strip of cloth, stared intently at the pair of amber eyes before him with his empty, lifeless gaze, his cool voice tinged with solemnity.
...
Icarus was feeding birds with another boy when suddenly a snow-white bird landed on his head and picked up the strip of cloth that wasn't tied too tightly.
Icarus: "...?"
Qianzhu: "?"
As he turned his head to look, the little bird had already flown into the air with the strip of cloth in its beak.
After glancing at Icarus twice, Qianzhu couldn't help but smile.
"?" Icarus: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing." Qianzhu shook her head, smiled, and reached out her hand to the round, fluffy, pure white bird, saying softly, "Come here."
The little bird circled around, then fluttered its tiny wings and landed on his hand, obediently handing him the strip of cloth.
At the same time, Icarus moved closer to Qianzhu.
Qianzhu turned her head in confusion: "?"
Icarus was also confused. "Didn't you tell me to come here?"
Qianzhu: "..."
Okay, he didn't explain it clearly.
He placed the little bird that was perched on his hand on his lap, then bent down to untie the knot in the cloth strip. "I'll help you put it back on."
"Mm," Icarus replied.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, carrying shimmering sand.
Strands of hair brushed against his eyes, causing a slight itch. Icarus subconsciously frowned slightly, but the next second another hand brushed his hair aside.
He suddenly opened his eyes and happened to meet the gaze of the person opposite him.
Icarus paused, looked at the boy in front of him, reached out and grasped his wrist, and suddenly said, "Don't go to Japan."
Qianzhu paused slightly upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Icarus remained silent.
He could only remind him, but he couldn't answer why.
He closed his eyes again.
Although Qianzhu was puzzled, she still put the cloth strip on him first.
"Ouch—!" Bertrand suddenly sat up straight with a start, pointing at the screen and yelling, "Get away from Chi-chan!"
"..."
Behringer nudged his arm and earnestly reminded him, "This has already happened, Xiao Ye."
Bertrand: "..."
Thanks, but I didn't need you to remind me, you silly goose.
...
"Where is Qianzhu?" Icarus asked softly, standing next to Morataya.
Upon hearing this, Morataya looked up at him, chuckled, and said, "Of course, we're going to Japan."
Icarus: "..."
“We can’t keep stopping him from leaving, can we? He’s not a member of our church. Besides, Japan is his parents’ hometown. What can we do if he wants to go?” Morataya stirred her coffee with milk in one hand and shrugged it off with the other.
Icarus thought about it quietly for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with her point. "That's true."
Morataya paused, then looked up at him in horror. "You're possessed by an evil spirit?"
Icarus: "...No, I just thought I could go to Japan for fun."
Morataya: "..."
"ha!?"
Morataya withdrew the coffee she was about to drink, stared at Icarus in shock, put the cup back on the table, and rubbed her temples with a headache. "No, he's leaving and you're leaving too? Are you leaving me to manage the church?"
Icarus remained calm and indifferent. "I didn't say you had to stay alone. After all, there's the Godfather, isn't there?"
Morataya paused, "...What you said actually makes some sense."
Then he nodded in satisfaction, looked up at Icarus, and said, "Okay, you go first. I'll take care of the rest and then come find you."
Icarus nodded, then turned and left.
His indifference made it impossible to tell that he had this intention all along.
After reaching an agreement with Morataya, Icarus and Percy left the island using a magical teleportation array.
As for the other matters, Percy took care of them; he certainly seemed to be there for fun.
Hmm... I found "parents" and such here while playing.
Morataya, who came to see him almost two weeks later: "...?"
When the maid led her to Icarus, she thought: "..."
"What did you do?" Morataya asked blankly. "You hypnotized everyone in the room?"
Icarus sat in his chair, calmly toying with the pocket watch that R had given him when he was teaching him. "Pretty much, but I only hypnotized two people."
Morataya: "..."
She sighed and rubbed her forehead, speechless. "Okay, I got it."
Everyone: "..."
Although I guessed that Young Master Bei Ling wasn't actually a child of the Bei Ling family, seeing this still made me think... the people in the church really do whatever they want...
Except for that one blue Yeye.
Bechfenger: ?
...
As a prophet, he can see everyone's fate, but he has no direct way to change it; he can only give them a clear reminder.
The prophet will suffer a lot.
Life and death separations, blindness, and a mind filled with various images...
To avoid being destroyed, prophets are born with cold emotions.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t have emotions.
When he first came to Japan and met Chizuru, he found that his impression of him had been completely changed, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings at that time.
Perhaps a witch did something in secret.
Icarus looked at Morataya in front of him without asking why.
He "saw" the reason.
...
After seeing the contents of the prophecy, he could choose to speak or not, but most of the time, Icarus simply remained silent.
—The magician, who was afraid of pain, chose the painful method of suicide to end his life.
—The dual-bloodline angel, forced to become a demon, ultimately died for the angel with broken wings.
— He willingly endured severe injuries for the sake of justice in his heart, and ultimately fell alone into the endless deep sea.
—The ever-optimistic angel died in agony because of the cruel tricks of "Death".
—The arrogant witch, dissatisfied with the methods of "Death," fell alone into the snake's abyss.
He saw every single scene.
But none of them could be stopped by him simply by speaking out.
Is it his cold-heartedness?
Fortunately, he was cold-hearted.
...
As Icarus left the hospital and got into the car, he sensed a familiar, impending death emanating from the driver.
He saw himself reflected in the prophecy.
Icarus neither directly called him out nor made any attempt to get off the bus.
He picked up a book, opened it, but had no intention of reading it.
His eyes, which were covered by a strip of cloth, were open.
After the car accident, in addition to the blood seeping from his injuries, the blindfold over his eyes was also stained red with blood, and then blood-red tears dripped from the gaps.
He held the white crystal, inscribed with the prophecy, in his hand, and it too was stained red.
But two seconds later, the crystal disappeared from his hand.
He also completely lost consciousness.
"..."
Morataya leaned against Kita Ayane, quietly watching the flickering images on the screen.
The screen went black, and she gently poked Kita Ayane's hand. "What a pity, I wanted to see what you engraved in the crystal."
Kita Aya shook her head slightly and replied calmly, "It's not a pity, it wasn't meant for you."
Morataya: "..."
Bertrand blinked, then curiously turned to look at Kita Ayane, "Am I in your prophecy?"
Kita Ayane paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"So there's Chi-chan too?" the silver-haired boy asked with a smile.
Kita Ayane: "Mm."
"Is there an Asa?" Behfinger suddenly asked, his eyes full of curiosity.
Kita Ayane: "Mm."
"What is it!"
Suddenly curious, everyone turned to look at Kita Ayane with shining eyes.
Asa: "..."
Kita Ayane paused for two seconds, carefully considering her words, before replying, "The cunning devil ultimately cannot obtain what he desires."
Asa: "Tsk."
The crowd fell silent for a moment, exchanging bewildered glances before turning to look at the red-haired man behind them.
"Asa is...the demon himself???" Behefinger suddenly squeaked and cried, then jumped into Qianzhu's arms with a woof, sobbing, "I've been tricked, waaaaah!"
"...So what? You're not the only one who's been scammed."
Morataya spoke through gritted teeth, her voice filled with resentment.
Behrfinger stopped crying, then looked up and wiped her tears. "Yeah, even the witch isn't crying, so why am I crying!"
Kita Ayane suddenly spoke in a low voice: "But he orchestrated your death."
Behrfinger: "...!?"
She burst into tears again with a loud bang.
Bertrand's eyes widened, and she suddenly looked at Kita Ayane, "Are you serious?"
Kita Ayane said coldly, "Of course it's true."
Bertrand looked at Qianzhu with a wronged expression, "Qian-chan, listen to me, I told you it really wasn't me who killed Beibei..."
Liu Qingyao exclaimed, "Holy crap! So I was also killed by Asa!"
Then he turned to Qianzhu and cried.
Qianzhu took a deep breath.
You can't coax them all, you just can't coax them all.
Machiru: "...We were also killed by him."

Morataya sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Oh no, could it be that everyone on that white chair, except for the Godfather and X, died at his hands?"
“…You wiped out the whole team!” Liu Qingyao looked at Asa with resentment.
Asa leaned back in his chair with an air of composure, his slender fingers lightly tapping Benshan's head as he met his gaze with a half-smile.
Liu Qingyao glared at him fiercely, then turned back to lean against Qianzhu.
Qianzhu suddenly felt like she was a bamboo shoot herself, and these three were like clingy pandas, with Zhenzhi behind her leaning forward and chattering away with them.
It's so noisy.
Pandas aren't that noisy; they're probably like cicadas in summer.
It's noisy and annoying.
They only quieted down slightly after the mechanical voice spoke, and turned to see who had the turn to draw a card.
[Please draw a card.]
Kaito Kuroba, suddenly being stared at by so many eyes: "..."
The last time I was watched this closely was when I was a phantom thief stealing gems.
Some people's reaction when they looked at him: Wow, this guy looks just like Shinichi Kudo.
Conan Edogawa's reaction when he looked at him: This thief really does look a lot like him!
Kaito Kuroba couldn't resist conjuring up a hat and putting it on his head before poking at the card on the table panel.
—The design is a moon.
Bertrand and his group instantly perked up and produced a huge pile of snacks and drinks.
After waiting for so long, it's finally Chi-chan's turn, sob sob.
Feeling the air around her less crowded, Qianzhu instantly breathed a sigh of relief and calmly glanced at the big screen.
...
In a room with a cold color.
A one-year-old child was being held in the arms of a red-haired woman.
The child looked somewhat bewildered, but the woman's expression was gentle. She smiled at the child and softly told him a beautiful fairy tale.
At the end, she also said she hoped the child would grow up to be a gentle person.
The child nodded as if understanding, and obediently replied in a soft, sweet voice, "Mmm."
The woman played with him and taught him many things until the appointed time came, at which point the child obediently said goodbye to her.
The next day, another woman came to keep him company, telling him gentle little stories, playing fun games with him, and teaching him a lot of knowledge.
day to day.
But the people who come to see him every day are not the same person; there are women and men, and they sometimes bring all sorts of cute little animals with them.
They could always pick up where the other person left off, as if they had planned it together.
But their goals are the same.
Over the years, under the careful guidance of others, he, still a child, has learned many, many things.
A three- or four-year-old child sat on the floor covered with a blanket, holding a small white cat in his arms and brushing its fur with a small comb in his other hand, a gentle smile on his innocent face.
The kitten is very attached to him. Whenever he puts it down and gets up to wash his hands, the kitten follows him around.
I hope he will become a gentle person.
This sentence was mentioned repeatedly and was deeply rooted in his heart.
What is gentleness?
—"Always with a smile."
What is gentleness?
—"I don't want to see others get hurt."
What is gentleness?
— "Treat every living being with sincerity."
What is gentleness?
— "To endure for others."
Gentleness is...?
"Help others, sacrifice yourself."
Gentleness is...?
—"Speak softly to show concern for others."
Gentleness is...
--"gentle."
...
"How are you?"
The child, looking worried, asked softly, glancing at the bandaged wound on the blue-haired boy's hand.
Number 311 shook his head slightly. "I'm fine."
Number 1000 looked at him with beautiful, gentle amber eyes.
After leaving room 311, he smiled and said to the red-haired woman beside him, "Next time, let me into the small laboratory."
The red-haired woman glanced at him. "Okay."
...
Number 1000 sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the blue-haired boy with self-reproach in his eyes, smiled slightly, and reached out to touch his head, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
"But……"
"It's okay," Number 1000 said softly, interrupting Number 311 who was about to speak.
He gently cupped Number 311's cheeks, a smile curving his lips and his eyes slightly narrowed, a very gentle smile, as did the words he spoke softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
