Chapter 268
"The wild berries on the back hill have been bearing fruit again and again, but you always say they are too sour and ask me to add more sugar."
"After sending you away, I have done some more. If you don't mind and are willing to acknowledge me as your mother, take it away with the gifts."
"Fia..."
Fia listened to this not-so-short letter, which was full of her mother's chatter and even repeated itself.
She couldn't help wondering if the letter was hastily written by her mother before she died.
Phyllis piled apologies between the lines, but deliberately avoided any request for forgiveness.
Since she had already made a decision that would hurt the child, she naturally would not pray for Fia to forgive her.
"Mom loves you."
Fia burst into tears.
"When Phyllis became the energy core of the alien network, she didn't know she was pregnant with you."
At some point, the man in the wheelchair appeared beside her again.
Fia didn't look back. She couldn't control her emotions at all, but she didn't want to be seen crying.
"I suggested she have an abortion, but Phyllis refused."
The judge knew that this statement was abominable in human ethics, but it was the fact.
"She had less than nine years left to live, but she still tried her best to give you the best."
Feiya cried so hard that she couldn't make any sound. Her mother kept apologizing to her in the letter, but...
Phyllis had already made the decision to ensure the survival of the alien network, and she was the variable that appeared at an inopportune time.
Phyllis took such a big risk to give birth to me and raised me. Even if she is destined to die, Fia should stay by her side and accompany her through her last moments.
Fia has been lonely for so many years, but isn’t her mother, who has shouldered everything alone, also lonely?
"And, your mother lied in the letter, about your father..."
"Okay, Judge."
Before he could finish his words, Liuhua Buxi was stopped by Liuhua Qi.
The truth was too cruel for this underage girl, and she didn't need to endure it.
Feiya quickly wiped away her tears.
"What? I want to know!"
She has been kept in the dark about the truth for long enough. Even though she knows her mother and they are doing it for her own good, she would rather face the bloody truth than live in ignorance and pretending to be happy.
Liuhuaqi understood her feelings and did not continue to stop her.
'Liuhua Buxi' is based on the analysis of its own data, and the judgments it makes are the best under the current circumstances.
But he also understood Liuhuaqi's concerns, so he chose a more tactful and obscure statement.
"Your father died before you were born."
So everything Phyllis said about her father in the letter was false.
"......"
Fia actually had a premonition, because there was never any father figure in her childhood memory.
Perhaps this is the last gentle dream Phyllis can weave for her daughter, so that she will have fewer regrets.
"Mom...my mother, and the Othernet...what are you protecting?"
So many people have sacrificed for this, yet they still keep coming.
“They call it hope, I call it reality.”
What is hope and what is reality.
The judge turned his gaze to the three young men beside him, the only people he had recognized as worthy successors over the years.
——
"......"
"......"
They looked at each other in silence, and of course there were no tears.
When Nai Tiaosheng saw Naiwud appear in front of him in this posture, he was speechless.
"You are really in a mess."
"You don't have to tell me."
Naude was so angry that he almost laughed.
The follower I was when I was a child was cuter.
But... that is the past that can never be returned to.
"..." Nai Tiaosheng just felt extremely irritated. The brother whom he hated for half his life didn't seem to be living a good life, and he had no way to hate a guy who was so miserable.
To be honest, Naud looked like he was dying.
After finally finding something to say, they both fell silent again.
"I...I'm sorry..."
In the end, it was Naud who spoke first.
Nai Tiaosheng's face turned dark in an instant.
"Shut up!"
Did he want an apology? No matter how sincere his apology was, he was definitely responsible for his parents' death!
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Nai Tiaosheng asked in a deep voice.
Although he was certain in his heart, in order not to wrongly accuse the man in front of him, he still chose to ask first.
"...yes."
"Why?"
Naude smiled bitterly.
"I don't know people well..."
At the end of Miss Phyllis's life, before Naiwud took over the alien network, he needed to take Fia to a safe and trustworthy place.
He visited most of the orphanages in Shengjing that had a good reputation, and it was during this period that he met that 'friend'.
"I called him Fourth Brother. At the time, I thought it was a very intimate name. Now that I think about it, he had ulterior motives from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have even told me his real name..."
After sending Fia to the orphanage, the relationship between the two became better and better, and Naiwud once thought that they would become like-minded companions.
Whether he should say it or not, he was still cautious and did not reveal his relationship with Yiwang right from the beginning.
When Naiwud was about to become the core of the alien network, he asked his fourth brother to look after the family for him.
"My brother has grown up. The only thing I worry about is my parents."
His parents vaguely knew what he was going to do and expressed their support for him, but his younger brother knew nothing about it. All he had was an expired certificate from another network.
The fourth brother expressed doubts and asked him where he was going.
Naude said that he had important things to do and needed to stay in the alien network forever.
The Alien Network, hailed as a new world by those with special abilities but feared by the government and various organizations, has too many benefits to offer.
And the 'friends' he made casually turned out to be related to the Alien Network!
Make a fortune!
"He said he wanted to find me on the Alien Network and needed to know who I was. I agreed, but Senior Liuhua could not escape anyone's every move or even thought on the Alien Network. He saw through Fourth Brother's plot in an instant, but it was already..."
It's too late.
There is no way to get any closer to Naiwud, and there are also Naiwud's family.
As parents, what do you know? It’s normal to have some things related to the Internet!
Nai Tiaosheng's thoughts were drawn back to the day that changed his life.
My parents would rather be killed by the bad guys than reveal anything about my brother...
"..."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Nawud's voice even had a tearful tone, not at all like a mature and steady middle-aged man.
"Why are you staying here?"
Nai Tiaosheng's voice became a little hoarse as he tried to find a balance between emotion and rationality.
Reason told him that this could not be Naud's fault, he was just worried about his family.
But...but!
"..."
"At this point, you can't even answer this question for me!!!"
Nai Tiaosheng took a few steps forward angrily and grabbed Naiwude's collar with both hands.
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze.
My brother's weight is so light that it's scary.
"It's not that he doesn't say it, but I don't let him say it."
"Why?"
The voice came from behind. Nai Tiaosheng put Naiwude down and looked behind him coldly.
But when his eyes met Fia and the three young men, he retracted his slightly aggressive gaze.
"Because even if you knew now, I would make you forget everything that happened today."
Liuhua Buxi spoke in a normal tone, as if he didn't know he was talking about something terrible.
Before Nai Tiaosheng could respond, Feiya started yelling in response.
"Don't touch my memory!!!"
She had finally come here, and it would be better to let her die than to let her forget what happened today!
The judge looked back at her. Fia was frightened by the pair of cold metallic gear eyes, but she only shrank back and still glared back bravely.
"No!"
Lin Zhipei pulled the corner of the girl's clothes.
"He probably doesn't mean that, don't worry."
"I'm talking about important secrets." The Guardian had no intention of frightening Fia. "Your mother is not among them."
Fia blinked twice, then apologized embarrassedly.
Being interrupted like this, the throbbing veins in Nai Tiao Sheng's solar plexus calmed down a little.
After calming down and thinking about it, he realized that the death of his parents could not be blamed entirely on Naiwud.
"So what's going on?"
Liuhua Buxi was silent for a moment.
"They are fighting for their ideals and beliefs."
"Do you think I will believe this lie that is so hard to fool even a child? I want to know the truth!"
Nai Tiaosheng's anger rose again. He turned around to look at his haggard brother, his chest heaving violently.
"At least tell me why he became like this."
Before Liuhua Buxi could figure out what to say, Naiwud spoke up to stop the farce.
"Senior Liuhua, go do what you should do."
He knew at a glance that the three young men were people recognized by Liuhua Buxi. He felt relieved as he had waited so long for them.
At least... there is no need to sacrifice more people for this.
"You are Fia, right? You should stay too, okay?"
In the blink of an eye, the girl has grown up so much that Naiwud doesn't even know if she still remembers him.
Fia bit her lip, feeling a little overwhelmed.
But in the end, he nodded under the other person's gaze.
"Then I'll leave it to you." The judge greeted him, then left again with the three of them.
Now that the truth has been explained clearly to the three people, it is time for the final step.
They returned to [Spring] again and returned to the Tree of Life.
But now it was empty.
'Liuhua Buxi' raised his hand, and several optical discs that looked quite old appeared on his palm.
That's the place the three of them were looking for after they made a promise to Yigong.
"According to Liuhua Buxi's standards, you already possess a firm will, pure justice, and a dignity that you will defend until your death."
The man who had been sitting in a wheelchair, powered only by energy, stood up.
A huge sense of oppression poured down, as if it could destroy the entire alien network.
"Finally, you will show me your absolute fighting power, enough to overturn the world."
The man raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together to form a gun, and aimed at Lin Zhipei, the most powerful of the three of them.
Without any preparation, a huge gunshot rang out, like an explosion, and it actually blew Lin Zhipei to pieces.
But his consciousness did not dissipate and soon gathered back.
"Until you defeat me, the End of Death will deny you access—"
