Chapter 334 Monster Hospital (Thirty-three)
Although Bei Xi couldn't let Nan Huan go to kindergarten as a normal child when they were young, she was still able to take him to experience this kind of thing secretly. So although Nan Huan didn't spend as much time as normal with her peers, she actually did everything that other children would do.
Even because he had such an outstanding accomplice like Bei Xi, and had experienced a lot of rebellion that others had never experienced in their entire lives, Nan Huan had no regrets whether in his childhood or adolescence.
The evil god was worried that he was too rebellious and would arouse the other party's suspicion by taking Nan Huan to ride those exciting rides, but he didn't expect that Bei Xi had already taken her there, which exposed his true intention.
But in fact, apart from this point, although she readjusted Nan Huan's physical data and made Nan Huan deliberately lively and energetic, the attention that was engraved in his bones from childhood to adulthood could not be changed overnight.
She was not worried that she would suddenly faint one day and never wake up again, but she just didn't want to waste her time on this when she was with Bei Xi, so for many things, she would have self-control after experiencing them once. After knowing what it felt like to run, she would no longer think about the speed of the wind. After knowing what ice cream tasted like, she would no longer greedily want to try more. Especially after experiencing what it felt like to be stimulated, she would become very restrained. This restraint was not caused by physical reasons, but a kind of self-protection after understanding the limits of her body.
So even if it can no longer feel the pain in its body, that kind of self-protection will still consciously appear in its mind, reminding Nanhuan at all times. So on this basis, the behaviors of Abei, who was transformed by the evil god, became a little strange.
Nan Huan did not explain the rest of the words, but the evil god had already understood. A strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she said nothing. As the amusement park scene disappeared, she disappeared along with it.
Nan Huan originally thought that this time, just like the first time, the scene would end and he would be able to see Bei Xi, and the two of them could have a brief chat and check on each other's status.
But she didn't know whether it was because she had exposed the evil god twice in a row, or because the system felt that the time they spent on each other was longer than the time to complete the task, so it simply skipped this step. Because she had already felt the familiar tingling sensation of electric shock in her solar plexus, her eyes fell into darkness again.
In the first two scenes, one was the birth and the other was the development. Nan Huan had easily distinguished what the system wanted her to recall, so strictly speaking, what she had just seen and heard was her first meeting with Bei Xi.
But even during the mission, the content that the system allowed her to recall was fragmentary and not complete.
For example, although she knew the circumstances under which she first met Bei Xi, she knew nothing about their origins, their true identities, or why she was there.
And the black gas spreading over the land, could it have existed so long ago? But what about those monsters that were dependent on the black gas?
What is the story behind Beixi, a monster that is called an alien and different from other monsters?
The system clearly said that in order to pass this mission, one must protect one's own memory, but Nan Huan only felt that there were more and more doubts in his heart. The evil god would not be so kind as to watch him and Bei Xi complete the mission like this. But to be fair, this mission was a bit too simple compared to the ultimate copy of the 3S level.
Nan Huan already had a lot of messy thoughts in her mind, and the system task made her even more confused. But before she could think about it, those memories had already dissipated, and a familiar voice came from the darkness.
[Maturity is a stable trend, but change is the eternal truth. Sometimes a small action is like the wings of a butterfly, stirring up a huge storm.]
Butterfly effect?
What is the system implying? Is it saying that my previous actions have caused some unacceptable consequences, or is it just warning me to avoid such actions?
When it opened its eyes again, it felt that its body had grown a little bigger, but it was not sure whether it was due to the passage of time or simply because it absorbed the black air. In any case, it had gradually caught up with Axi's height.
The land before their eyes was no longer barren, there was no longer the intrusion of black air, and the monsters were no longer bloodthirsty. Like normal humans, they began to recuperate and live and work in peace on this land. Groups of houses stood on both sides, and the land had a lively atmosphere.
It still regularly cleans up the black air spreading from the land. After such a long time, it has also discovered that the black air hidden deep in the land seems to be endless. Even if it uses all its strength, it can only absorb some superficial black air each time. After a period of time, the black air hidden deep in the land will come back. It seems to be trapped in this place and cannot leave.
But it knew in its heart that it was not unwilling to leave simply because of this reason.
It was born here, not knowing where to go or what the purpose of living was, but it met Axi in this place. It had a goal and wanted to stay here with Axi, so every once in a while, it would clean up the black air overflowing from the ground, which was just a piece of cake for it.
What's more, the time spent together made it fall in love with this place which had become beautiful again. Maybe other places had the same scenery, or maybe other places had better scenery than here, but it didn't know when it started, it felt that this dusty place had changed from filthy to clear, and this alone was incomparable to other places. What's more, there was A Xi here, and it never thought of leaving here.
It likes the tranquility here, and it also likes the monsters that have returned to normal life. Even though the monsters are no longer so bloodthirsty, they still have some strange abilities, and occasionally use these abilities to make it happy. Life is so plain and good.
But I don't know if the system's words planted a seed in its heart, or if it came here with a mission. It has to admit that as the days passed, it seemed to feel something intentionally or unintentionally. This feeling was very bad. Although it tried its best to conceal and avoid it, the peaceful days were still broken.
On this day, the wheat waves were swaying in the afternoon breeze. When it and A Xi were lying in the wheat field and were about to fall asleep, a few monsters came hurriedly carrying a person, saying that they had found a person who looked injured at the border, so they quickly brought the person back to see if they could treat him.
Although the monsters have returned to their normal appearance and are no longer restricted by the black air and confined to this land, they still choose to live here because of their special abilities and the habit of living here. They are worried that unrelated humans will run into this area and be attacked by the black air, so they fenced off this area and created a boundary. Someone patrols every day, and today they happened to pick up an injured human.
Those monsters are basically the same as normal humans now. When they see injustice, they will bring people back. Besides, they were able to save other people who were infected by the black air, so injured humans are naturally no problem for them. So the first thing they thought of was to send people over.
Neither it nor A Xi noticed anything wrong at first. After all, such a thing had happened before. It had rescued more than one human being and sent them out after saving them. It also warned them that this area was dangerous and that they should try not to come here in the future.
So it was just a little disgusted at the beginning. It had finally found some time with Axi to slack off, but was forced to work overtime. It was a little bit in a bad mood. As a result, when everyone lifted the injured person up and revealed his face, it and Axi realized something was wrong at the same time.
It’s not about her appearance. She is no different from other humans, and her appearance is not even outstanding. It’s just the familiar aura on her body that makes it and Axi feel familiar.
It felt familiar because it had a sense of déjà vu from the first moment it met this breath, so it was able to accurately lock onto Axi among the monsters, and then it stayed with the other person for so long, so naturally it was very familiar with Axi's breath, but this strange human had a breath that was very similar to Axi's.
Axi felt familiar because the moment she approached this human, she felt that the part of her body that had left with the black air seemed to have some response, and this response actually came from this human's body, which caught her off guard.
The human's injuries were not difficult to treat. He was simply attacked by a wild beast or fell into a trap. It cured them without any effort. While treating him, it secretly checked and found that the other party was indeed just an ordinary human. There was nothing strange about him. He just woke up a little earlier than a normal person and saw him first before it sent someone to send him away.
"You saved me?"
Her voice was not pleasant, and even her tone did not sound like that of an ordinary human being who had been rescued. She did not have any emotion of surviving a disaster at all. It was just like she was calmly narrating something. However, there was something wrong with the way the other person looked at it while she spoke.
As the person involved, it could feel that although the human was looking at it, it didn't seem to be talking to it. It was more like communicating with someone through it.
It nodded, as if to acknowledge the question, and then got straight to the point, "What are you looking at through me?"
It doesn't beat around the bush and says whatever it wants to say. Although it is very confused, its tone is still very calm. It would be good if it could get an answer from the other party, but if the other party is unwilling to answer, it's no big deal.
As for the human, I don't know if he didn't expect the other party to be so sensitive, or he seemed to not understand why it asked so directly. A few seconds of shock flashed across his face, and then he withdrew his strange gaze.
"You look like someone I know."
A gust of wind blew, and her low voice, along with the waves of wheat, flowed into its and A'xi's ears.
It was not known whether it was the effect of the wind or psychological reasons, but it always felt that there was a hint of sadness in the human's voice. However, this emotion was fleeting because the human seemed to be lost in some difficult memories, and while it was not paying attention, he gently touched its cheek with both hands.
The woman's movements were so quick and unbelievable that neither it nor Axi could react.
It had not come into contact with anyone except Axi, and even other monsters did not have this honor, so it felt very surprised at first, and then instinctively felt a sense of disgust from the bottom of its heart. Then the other effects brought about by that touch were temporarily covered up by the unpleasant emotions that were aroused in it.
Ah Xi's reaction was even faster, because she immediately felt hostility, a sense that a fellow creature had invaded her territory. She quickly stepped forward and tried to slap the other person's hand away, but the woman had quickly retracted her hand, with a hint of displeasure flashing across her face. Ah Xi only had time to stand in front of it.
The trace of displeasure that flashed across the other person's face made Ah Xi even more irritated. She instinctively realized that this woman was unwilling to touch it, but for some reason, she had to do so, so there was an expression of disgust on her face.
She didn't know where the aura that was similar to her own came from, nor did she care why she was by her side, feeling the completeness of her body, no longer feeling empty. Instead, she immediately ordered him to leave, "This place is very dangerous, this is not a place for you, don't come again."
This was an unarmed human being. Although he could kill him effortlessly, A Xi needed to constantly remind himself that he did not like killing and that he was not a bloodthirsty person. He should not have such thoughts in his mind just because of the other party's actions. He barely resisted the urge to attack the other party and let those monsters send the man away again.
The woman didn't have any objection and left, as if everything that had just happened was just random actions caused by her injury and mental confusion. But before leaving, her eyes still unconsciously followed its figure.
To be precise, it was looking at others through its own shadow. It moved its fingers, frowned, and said nothing, but looked in the direction the other person left. In fact, it wanted to keep the person and ask him something, but humans and monsters have never interfered with each other. Except for the fact that the other party accidentally touched it, there was really nothing wrong with it. It was not appropriate to force the person to stay.
Or maybe, she rubbed her brows, the other person was indeed a human, and the familiar smell on his body was really just a coincidence?
That episode passed quickly, and she and A Xi seemed to consciously not want to mention the appearance of that woman. They both wanted to gloss over the situation and hoped that their lives would remain the same as before, carefree.
But it soon realized that its premonition seemed to have come true. Since the day the woman left, the black energy absorbed into her body would somehow occasionally run around uncontrollably in her body.
It seemed like the fulfillment of some omen, and it also seemed to be constantly reminding it that something was about to come.
But before it had time to think about it, the familiar pain came and the scene in front of it began to change.
It heard the sound of waves for the first time before it opened its eyes. This time the transition seemed to take a little long, because when Nan Huan opened her eyes, she realized that this scene was a little blurry in her memory, and her state seemed to be different from the previous two scenes. She could easily tell that this was the scene created by the evil god to confuse her memory.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the evil god sitting next to him, without even any disguise on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you ready to admit defeat in advance? You don't even bother pretending?"
Nan Huan was puzzled. Are they going to surrender just like that?
"You are awake now, and you know that this is a fake memory." The evil god sat on the beach with her, looking at the waves in front of him, and said, "Why should I change my face? Besides, I don't like her face. For me, Ah Man's face suits me better."
"Then hurry up and bring Beixi here," Nan Huan moved away from her unhappily. She felt relieved and at ease without having to rack her brains to find loopholes. "Since we both know that in this environment, it is impossible for you to kill me or for me to kill you, don't waste your time talking nonsense and disturb Beixi and I from watching the sea."
It was not a pleasant feeling to have an enemy who could not be killed and kept hanging around in front of him. Nan Huan was in no mood to chat about life with him, so he asked her to bring Bei Xi over with confidence.
The evil god was not angry, but he did not say anything. After waiting for a few seconds, Nan Huan felt a familiar breath around him. When he turned around, he found that the evil god had left at some point, and Bei Xi really appeared in front of him.
