The Ferris wheel reached the top and began to descend.
Noel was reading a book while building triangular blocks on the table.
He felt a little regretful. Shouldn't he be angry over such a small matter? After all, the veal stew with white sauce last night was delicious, and his mother also made strawberry pudding...
Just count to yourself, one, two, three.
After counting silently, the grid of the Ferris wheel landed, and he opened the grid door and told his parents: "I forgive you. It doesn't matter even if you always leave me at home to read books. I am not a naive child who cannot understand your busyness."
Count silently in your mind.
one,
two,
…
“[…When I thought about Youqing never speaking again, never running away with shoes in his hand, my heart ached so much that I couldn’t even cry.]”
…
three.
The Ferris wheel touches the ground.
He stopped reading, and like a brave man about to step into the forest, he pushed open the lattice door with a click.
He looked towards the door, his lips slightly parted.
He wanted to tell them - I forgive you, Mom and Dad, let's continue the puppet show, okay? Last time we played it to the point where Fantine sold her hair, now it's time to move on...
What greeted him was not his parents, but a gun.
"Click."
The black muzzle of the gun was stained with blood, which was left by the close-range shooting. At the last moment, the father rushed towards the gangster with his bare hands, leaving the mother a chance to survive.
But it didn't work.
No one succeeded.
Two cold bodies fell to the ground, blood gushed out, staining the blue rose cane that my father used on tour red.
The Ferris wheel was still turning slowly, the blocks on the table collapsed, and he maintained the action of opening the door, as if frozen.
He was pulled away from the Ferris wheel and faced two cold corpses. The strange man in the white coat said with interest: "Say something. Beg for mercy, roar, cry bitterly... We finally caught you."
People held up his arms, and his blue eyes turned into a coldness that gradually sank into the sea.
Perhaps he should have understood that this is the world's preference for geniuses. Whatever is given to you, something will always be taken away.
Whenever his parents touched the scars on his back, he would tremble slightly - this was the legacy left on him. But he always felt that the pain had passed and happiness had arrived. Tragedy would not follow him like a shadow, and he would live happily, like a normal child.
But this seems wrong.
Reality is not a fairy tale.
These criminals who conducted human experiments were from a certain evil cult. They had dug up information about "eternal life" in the polar regions and speculated that this information might be a gift from outer space. So, they began to capture orphans from all over the world and conduct crazy human experiments. They had an experimental city, and among the countless children who died, Noel was the most successful experimental subject - but he was rescued by the police.
But there is more than one den, and the darkness of the world cannot be washed away by justice. People who pursue "eternal life" exist even at the top - how can the justice of ordinary people be demonstrated?
So, even after they chased him back to his adoptive parents, these people did not give up and were determined to get Noel back.
He never thought that these people would be so lawless.
It is wrong to be greedy for "love".
“[…I know dusk is passing away].” Facing everyone, he did not cry or beg for mercy.
They looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was saying.
"【Night fell from the sky】." He looked at the blood flowing on the ground.
——I saw the vast land revealing its strong chest, which was a gesture of calling.
——Go there, the leaves will wave to you, the stones will smile to you, the river will greet you. There is no poverty or wealth, no sadness or pain, no hatred or resentment... There everyone is equal in death.
He asked, “What is that place?”
I said, "There is no place to bury the dead."
(——Yu Hua, The Seventh Day)
…
If I had not seen the light, I would not long for it in the darkness.
If I had never felt happiness, I would not miss the past in endless pain.
But, dear, tell me.
Why are those days gone forever?
…
Noel’s body is forever frozen in time as a teenager.
He did not tell anyone about the pain he endured.
His happy childhood lasted only three short years, and the rest was filled with long-term experimental torture. But when Su Mingan asked him about it, he just smiled and said -
——【I had a happy childhood】.
For him, those were just three short years.
That's all.
…
Su Mingan opened his eyes.
He had no memory of why Noel became a test subject before he was eight years old, how Noel grew from twelve years old to twenty-five years old... He wanted to save Noel but had no chance. The story ended abruptly when Noel was captured.
But he could complete the question on his own - why Noel saw his childhood self on the street.
At that time, Noel should be close to 20 years old and had escaped the clutches of human experiments. So Noel followed his father's words before his death and came to Dragon Country for a trip. Then, his future best friend accidentally appeared in his life.
Moreover, Noel knew how painful human experiments were, so when he picked up the scalpel and gave the children the ability to protect themselves, he had already mastered the least painful surgical method.
As for those painful and tortuous surgical injuries... he had already experienced them himself.
All the pain has been left to his childhood, and no new children will suffer from it.
