Chapter 22: Hair Grows Out of Control
Mingnuo was sleeping soundly in bed, completely unaware that his room was almost full of people. Archer and Seren huddled together, looking at Mingnuo's sleeping face, whispering.
Aqier gently brushed away the silver strands of hair from Mingnuo's forehead. "He's sleeping so well now. Before, even talking loudly would wake him up."
Seren was very reasonable: "It's not his fault, it's because you were just yelling at me."
Aqier was unconvinced: "Nonsense, I speak softly."
"That's because you were beaten so many times by your third brother." Seren looked at his second brother in confusion. "Can you even forget the beatings you received?"
Aqir: "..."
I really don't remember.
Zelphis was afraid that they would wake up Mingnuo, so he pulled them aside. Unexpectedly, Birdwin approached Mingnuo and left again.
Birdwin was wearing silk pajamas, looking down at Mingnuo who was sleeping like a pig, and suddenly wanted to reach out and pinch Mingnuo's nose.
Zelphis took a deep breath. Facing this group of careless elders, he suddenly felt a little tired.
After releasing Achir and Seren, Zelphis went to Rabdawin and patiently told the uncles, "Don't disturb him. Let him sleep well. If you have nothing to do, go back to sleep too."
Bodwin pulled the chair in front of Mingnuo's desk and sat on it backwards, resting his chin on the back of the chair. "I can't sleep."
Aqir and Seren sat on the floor. Seren held his chin with his hand and shook his head. "I can't sleep either."
"Sleeping is a waste of life!" Archer said righteously, "There will definitely be someone who wants to take Lorian tonight. We will wait with you until they come."
He took out his sword and placed it on his lap, revealing his huge white teeth. "Come one, I'll chop one down."
After a while, Mingnuo's door was quietly pushed open, and the Phalaenopsis hair accessories in Garland's hair sparkled in the dark night.
He walked in quietly, looked at Ming Nuo lying on the bed for a moment, and spoke in a whisper, "Are you guys here for team building? If Grandpa Fu Di hadn't told me, I wouldn't have found you."
Zelphis frowned at him, "Why aren't you going home so late?"
"Just got off work." Garland sat down next to Seren, looked at Ming Nuo's sleeping face, and smiled, "Come to see little Nuo Nuo. How many groups of people have arrived already?"
Achir said: "We were just killed by Zelphis. I guess we have to wait a little longer."
At three o'clock in the morning, the animals in the garden had fallen asleep. When everything was quiet, an agile figure stepped into the night and climbed onto the windowsill of Mingnuo's room.
He was wearing a jammer that could prevent him from being caught by the mechanical eyes placed everywhere in the palace. Seeing that the mission was about to succeed, the man could not hide the pride in his eyes.
Perseus's palace was just like that, with lax guarding, so it was easy for him to sneak in.
Ten billion to steal a child, that's easy.
The man jumped in through the window confidently, landing without making a sound, but the next second he met several pairs of golden eyes in the room and was completely stunned.
Oh no, I’m going to die.
As this thought popped into his mind, a few seconds later, the man's body lost its agility and was thrown out of the window in a parabola, and was dragged away half-dead.
…
The next day, Ming Nuo woke up feeling refreshed. It was as if Grandpa Fudi had installed a surveillance camera next to him. Just as he put on his contact lenses, Grandpa Fudi knocked on the door and said, "Little Prince, do you want to go to dinner?"
Ming Nuo hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, I'll get up right away."
Suddenly, he noticed a small doll next to his pillow. The plush lamb looked delicate and cute, but Mingnuo didn't remember having this toy. Remembering that his brother had come to his room last night, he picked up the plush lamb.
During breakfast, all the Perseus were there. Minno greeted everyone one by one and sat down next to Zelphis.
Zelphis didn't look like someone who hadn't slept all night. He was a hundred times more energetic than Minglu. He poured him a cup of hot milk and said, "Did you sleep well last night? Let me know if there's anything missing in the room."
"I slept well and I have everything I need." Mingnuo placed the lamb in front of Zelphis and shook it. "Brother, did you drop this in my room?"
Zelphis smoothed down the tuft of hair that stuck up on his head. "This is for you. It's your favorite doll from childhood."
Ming Nuo looked down at the lamb doll and felt surprised. It turned out that he had such good taste since he was a child, and it had not changed over the years. He liked it very much now.
Mingnuo was worried that the doll would get dirty while eating, so he got up and put the doll back in the room. When he came back, the little uncle who was supposed to sit next to him was pushed away by Uncle Birdwin.
Seren poked at the food on his plate gloomily. His brother was the most annoying creature in the world.
Mingnuo felt a little embarrassed when facing Baldwin. He politely called Baldwin "Uncle" and then secretly moved his chair towards Zelphis.
Birdwin noticed his little movement, reached out and pressed the edge of his chair, looked up at him, and asked, "Are you so afraid of me?"
"Well... a little."
Mingnuo glanced at him, lowered his head and told the truth.
"What? Did you remember that I cut up all your favorite stuffed animals, poured water on the path of your walker, and fed you chili sauce as jam?"
Bodwin deliberately spoke to Mingnuo about the terrible past in an extremely calm tone, and then he nodded to himself, "Then it's normal for you to be afraid of me."
When he said this, Archer frowned. Why didn't he remember these things? Was he just forgetful?
But Baldwin could actually do this to little Lorian. Archer had to condemn Baldwin, "Brother, you are such a beast."
Birdwin: "..."
This mentally handicapped idiot.
Seren also thought about it, and since he had no memory of such a thing, he stopped paying attention to it. It must be his elder brother talking nonsense again.
Mingnuo initially thought that Bodwin was joking and deliberately trying to scare him, but when he heard Achir scolding his brother, he took it seriously and squatted beside Zelphis's legs, hugging him tightly, "Brother..."
Zelphis glanced at his smug uncle and rubbed his brows tiredly, "Don't scare him, he'll really take it seriously."
Ming Nuo was stunned, "Huh?"
So it’s fake?
Bodwin chuckled, "What a little fool."
Then he looked at the confused Aqir, removed his smile, and replaced it with a cold and harsh one, "Idiot."
Aqir: "..."
Come to think of it, how could Birdwin have dared to tease Lorian like that at the time? Lorian was the treasure that his younger brother Herbert had obtained after taking fifteen make-up exams, and his younger brother wanted to hold him in his arms for 24 hours a day.
Ming Nuo was embarrassed and said, "I have forgotten everything about my childhood."
Aqir touched his chin and said, "I thought I had forgotten too."
Unexpectedly, a memory that didn't exist appeared.
Birdwin had a thousand swear words to say about this.
Mingnuo was terrified during this breakfast. After the meal, he was taken to the study by Zelphis, who asked Mingnuo to temporarily hand over his intelligent computer to him.
Ming Nuo didn't ask what to do, he just took off the smart brain and said, "Brother, here you go."
Zelphis fiddled with the silver-white intelligent computer. Mingnuo stood beside him, his eyes fixed on the back of his brother's head, which looked less bald now.
A few minutes later, Zelphis returned the AI to him. "I've upgraded your AI's permissions to the highest level. You can now talk to Ming Jue. I've also installed an intelligent assistant for you named Dillon."
When Ming Nuo heard that he could talk to his uncle, his eyes were full of joy. Before, he always had to borrow brother Galan's intelligent brain to say a word or two to his uncle, but he was also embarrassed to always bother him.
"Dillon?" Ming Nuo repeated the name of the intelligent assistant. The intelligent computer lit up, but he didn't notice. "But I have 566. I don't need another intelligent assistant."
"Dillon is different." Zelphis's slender fingers gently brushed the small bell hanging from the strap of the Mingnuo intelligent computer. "It's a military artificial intelligence developed by the Arsenal."
"Yes."
A deep male voice without any fluctuation came from Mingnuo's intelligent brain, "Please don't compare me with ordinary intelligent assistants. It's an insult to me."
Ming Nuo was startled. He looked down at the intelligent computer and asked, "Dillon?"
"Um."
Dillon's voice was cold. He had been used in military activities since his birth. Now he was suddenly asked to be a nanny for the children. This advanced artificial intelligence equipped with extremely rich emotional modules was very unhappy.
But obeying the master's orders has been programmed into its core code, and Dillon can only follow the orders of Zelphis, no, now there is also Mingnuo.
Ming Nuo had no specific knowledge of Dillon's intelligence. He thought it was the same as 566, but with a stronger self-esteem.
"Thank you, brother." Mingnuo smiled at Zelphis, looked at the hair on the back of his head, and suddenly said, "Brother, your hair has grown."
“…”
Zelphis glanced at him, easily seeing through his thoughts, "Don't worry about going bald. We don't have the baldness gene in our family."
"That's good, that's good." Ming Nuo felt relieved. He looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly said, "Brother, can I go and give Sedwick and the others some strawberries?"
Zelphis met Mingnuo's expectant gaze, his hands at his sides suddenly clenched, and he stared at him intently, his mind a little confused.
Leave him?
He agreed to Lorian's request. Lorian said happily, "Thank you, brother," his clear blue eyes filled with smiles. But in the blink of an eye, Lorian was killed again, lying alone on the ground, blood spreading from his body...
"Brother?" Ming Nuo waved his hand in front of Zelphis. Seeing that he just stared at him without any other reaction, Ming Nuo was a little scared. "Brother, why don't you say anything?"
Zelphis suddenly grabbed his wrist, a bit too hard, and pain radiated from the tight grip.
Ming Nuo frowned in pain, and the moment he noticed that Zelphis's mental power became violent, he subconsciously released his mental power to comfort the other party.
Mingnuo's mental power is like a snow-white lamb that basks in the sun all day long. It runs to comfort the gloomy lion that is wet after being caught in the rain with its warm fur. It warms the lion with its clean and warm fur, and its soft bleating voice soothes the lion's wounded heart.
Zelphis quickly calmed down and the hallucination disappeared in an instant. When he realized what he had done, he immediately checked Mingnuo up and down in fear to make sure that he had not accidentally hurt him.
"I'm sorry, I lost control." Zelphis took a deep breath, his mind on the verge of collapse, but he controlled himself tightly, "Are you hurt?"
Seren noticed something was wrong and hurriedly pushed the door open. Seeing that Zelphis had stabilized, he closed the door lightly and retreated.
Ming Nuo didn't even know Seren had been here. He looked at Zelphis, his eyes reddening a little. "Brother, I'm fine. Brother, do you also have blood coagulation disease?"
Mental turmoil is one of the symptoms of hemorrhage. Mingnuo has already learned about it from Sedwick. He has regarded hemorrhage as a terminal illness. He is scared to death when he thinks that Zelphis may also have it.
Zelphis leaned down slightly, his eyes level with Mingnuo, and patiently told him, "As long as there is mental power, there will be blood coagulation, Lorian, it is unavoidable."
The only difference is the severity of the disease.
But the stronger the spirit, the sooner the body will break down. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, in an era when the average age was 300 years old, the average age of the Perseus royal family was less than 100 years old.
Ming Nuo was not very familiar with blood coagulation disease. He opened his eyes with tears in his eyes and asked, "So I have it too?"
This time, Zelphis didn't say anything too negative. He gently held Mingnuo in his arms and said, "You're still young. Perhaps by the time you grow up, there will be information and plans for treating blood coagulation diseases."
The implication was self-evident. Ming Nuo was a little dazed. Could it be that he also had this disease?
"Aren't you going to give strawberries to your friend? Go ahead." Zelphis suddenly said to Mingnuo, but he also had a request, "Go with your uncle, okay?"
Ming Nuo was frightened by what happened just now. He observed his brother's expression and said, "I don't have to go either."
"Go ahead. There's no point in being detained here."
Seren walked in silently again, took Mingnuo's hand, and said, "Let's go."
Mingnuo nodded, and when he left the study, he turned around and looked at Zelphis. Zelphis was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, enveloped by the warm and bright sunlight, but Mingnuo inexplicably felt that his brother was very lonely.
Mingnuo waved to Zelphis and said, "Brother, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
When Zelphis heard the promise, he turned around, but the study door had closed and Mingnuo had left. He recalled his loss of control just now and closed his eyes.
This time the loss of control was very brief and did not require the help of his uncle and others. Zelphis also knew that this loss of control was probably caused by the shadow of Lorian's previous accident.
Tragedy cannot happen again. Whenever Zelphis thinks of his lost and found brother dying tragically in front of him again, his mental strength collapses.
He had to adjust his mindset. Lorian was his brother, not a cold object. He couldn't keep him by his side forever.
…
In the strawberry garden, Mingnuo packed up the strawberries for Sedwick and the others and put them into bags. Suddenly, he asked Seren, "Uncle, do you also have blood coagulation disease?"
Seren said, "Hmm," "You didn't?"
"I don't know." Ming Nuo shook his head blankly. He had never felt a mental turmoil before.
On the contrary, his mental power was usually extremely lazy. Not to mention a riot, even the occasional stretching and exercise would surprise Ming Nuo.
Seren suddenly approached Mingnuo and carefully felt his mental power, which was indeed very stable.
Seren guessed seriously, "Maybe you're still young."
Hemorrhage is a common disease among high-level psychics, and the psychic power level of the Perseus royal family is at the top level, so Seren does not think that Mingnuo can avoid it. The fact that he behaves normally now is probably because he is too young.
It was just like what his brother had said before. Ming Nuo sighed, accepted that he would also have this disease, took the packed strawberries and said, "Let's go."
The sun was a bit dazzling today. After Ming Nuo went out, he was dazzled by the scorching light, so he had to wear sunglasses.
Seren stared at Ming Nuo in a daze after he put on his sunglasses, and suddenly said, "You look like your father."
The biggest difference between Mingnuo and Koning is the eyes. When Mingnuo's pair of round and harmless eyes are covered, his temperament is almost the same as Koning's.
"Really?" Mingnuo thought his father was very handsome. He took Seren's words as a compliment, his eyes curved under his sunglasses. "Then I will wear sunglasses more often in the future. Isn't it cool?"
As soon as he spoke, that sense of eliteness disappeared without a trace.
Seren had mixed feelings: "...Yeah, that's cool."
Dillon suddenly said, "You'd be cooler if you just shut up."
Dillon was like a computer freeze after saying a few words in Zelphis's study. Ming Nuo didn't expect him to suddenly speak at this time. He asked in surprise, "Dillon, do you know Dad too?"
Dillon hummed, "He's one of my creators."
The initiator of Dillon's project was Corning, but he passed away suddenly before he could see Dillon's project actually get up and running.
Ming Nuo understood, "So that's how it is... Then are you my younger brother?"
Dillon: “…”
Seeing that Dillon was pretending to be dead again, Ming Nuo didn't continue chatting with him. After he got on the hovercraft, he used his smart brain to send a message to Sedwick and the others, asking them to wait for him in the small bamboo forest of the school, and he would bring them strawberries.
【Sedwick: When will you arrive? 】
Mingnuo looked at the time for a while and said, "About fifteen minutes. This hover car is super fast."
Field: [Oh my god, this is truly the royal family's disaster relief food.]
Ming Nuo was amused by this and took a few photos of the strawberries and posted them to the group, "I picked a lot for you!"
Lin Yu: [Thank you, Nuonuo, little lamb kiss.jpg]
Mingnuo: [lamb blinking.jpg]
Seren glanced at the smile on Mingnuo's face. When he was chatting with his friends, he was filled with incomparable happiness. Seren could feel the ease and joy sitting next to him.
The violent mental power surging in his blood seemed to calm down at this moment. Seren suddenly felt a little sleepy, and his thick and curly eyelashes drooped.
Seeing him leaning against the car window and feeling sleepy, Ming Nuo said, "Little uncle, go to sleep first. I'll call you when we get off the car."
Salem's black hair hung down in front of his forehead, and he looked very well behaved.
Ming Nuo looked at him like this, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable responsibility was aroused in his heart. After Seren fell asleep, he gently covered him with a cushion and whispered, "Go to sleep obediently."
Seren closed his eyes and nodded subconsciously, "Yeah."
