Thread of Fate (16)
Is stopped and looked at the familiar face - the face of Singa.
But Xin Jia won't be here at this moment, let alone show such a smile... It seems so simple that he is heartless, and it seems that he is really heartless.
Moreover, if you pay a little attention, you will find that this is not a real person at all, it is just a projection.
Is glanced at him coldly and walked over to himself.
He has nothing to say to a guy who doesn't even dare to show up.
"Yis!Yis!" The young man chased behind him, with a familiar tone with a little intimate complaint, and his hoarse voice seemed particularly aggrieved: "Why ignore me?"
Is felt chills when he heard this and frowned unconsciously: "Speak well!"
This person is almost sixty now, right?
"But that's how I talked at this age." The young man replied with a smile, leaning over from behind him to look at his face, "Ah, you finally pay attention to me!"
Is just wanted to punch him in the face... but unfortunately it was useless.
His gaze tilted upwards, and a slight explosion, and the disgusting projection disappeared without a trace.
But before he took a few steps, the boy appeared before him again.
This time he smiled politely and kept a sufficient distance.
"Sorry," he said, "but... I can't help but joke when I thought about how I looked like when I was a teenager. Please don't take it to heart. Actually, I'm here to thank you for saving me."
"No need." Is replied, "That's just a deal."
"But you correctly understood my request at the right time, didn't you?" The boy still kept smiling. "I've actually been unsure if I should really do that... After so many years, I still can't see through the mystery of 'time'."
"Yes," Ice sneered, "If I have completed the transaction, it means I can pinch it next time... I don't have to be polite to you."
"But next time, we may not be enemies." The boy sighed. "I know Heaney did something that you hate very much, but whether you believe it or not, that's not what I mean... I really have no intention of being enemies with you."
Is sneered.
He doesn't care what he thinks, he just sees what he does.
However... Heaney should refer to the guy who delusionally wants to seize his body as his own body... the clone who maintains the appearance of a young man but is as hunched as an old man. He must be controlled, but obviously has some power, just like Xina.
Did this guy name every clone and raise them as his son? Just like... his grandfather?
Could this problem be inherited?
Thinking of the strange weakness of the "Heini" and his eagerness to seize the body of others, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart.
"...Are you really still alive?" he asked suddenly.
The boy was a little stunned. It didn't seem like he was surprised by being guessed, but it seemed that he was not used to his way of talking like he would do whatever he wanted and would say whatever he thought.
"If you mean a body with a heartbeat and breathing," he replied frankly, "It's barely enough. I've cut out almost everything I can cut off for experiments."
Is' scalp tingled in an instant - what's wrong with this person? Are you so cruel to himself?!
Nana, who had been quietly and obediently holding Is' neck in his arms, finally couldn't help but say "ah" and wrinkled her little face: "Don't it hurt?"
"...It doesn't hurt." The boy smiled at her, his tone soft, but his words were horrifying: "If possible, I don't want this...but before I could control the situation, my body was almost cut and I couldn't grow new organs."
Is subconsciously glanced at Nana, who was not scared, and was speechless.
At that time, he threw him onto a royal ship. A young man who suddenly appeared was an illegitimate child who had been despised. His weird wounds on his chest were recovering at an unimaginable speed... It was not surprising that he was locked into the laboratory with the virtues of those Britans.
But after a moment of sympathy, deeper fear arises.
A guy who has had this kind of experience and can turn the tables and become a controller is definitely a very terrible enemy.
He probably couldn't compare to his scheming, so he decided to communicate in the way he was best at.
"You are wasting my time," he said. "You don't want me to find Tiana... you brought her over? What do you want to do?"
"This is not counted on me." The young man spread his hands innocently. "I do know that the Nadens can actually get power from the consciousness of others, and that their power can actually be broken down into data... and so on. After all, we have studied them for a long time since my father... but I didn't reveal anything to her. I even tried to stop her, but unfortunately I didn't succeed. As for what she wanted to do and what level she could do, I actually wanted to know...so I am here."
He said "What a pity" and his eyes were full of enthusiasm - he was just watching the fun.
Tiana, the Naden, who made all kinds of attempts for revenge, may be just his test subject.
"Aren't you afraid that this excitement is so big that you can't end?" Is asked him...
The boy did not answer, but just smiled at him carelessly.
——He doesn't care.
So what can be the worst? Even if another star really explodes, even if all the people here die today, he is not here anyway.
If all the supreme rulers of several empires die, it would be nothing more than another turmoil, and that might be exactly what he needs.
But if Tyana fails, everyone will be in danger and he will not lose anything.
"But," said the boy, "maybe you should listen carefully to the warning she had given to this adorable little girl before--maybe you should leave the planet as soon as possible."
"I thought you told me so much because we were sure we couldn't escape." Is raised his eyebrows.
"...You said this, making me feel like a villain who is too much adventure story and is still doomed to fail." The boy sighed and shook his head, "But I really didn't do anything. Even if someone is guiding her and using her, it's not me. You will definitely not believe it. Neudenstar was ruined by them in order to deal with Britan's fleet. I may not have stopped something I knew might happen, but I was just... curious."
I was curious that even if I cut my body open again and again, I wanted to find the answer.
"…I know a mage," said Is, "You might be able to become a confidant with him."
"Is he very powerful?" the boy asked him with interest.
"Once," Is replied expressionlessly, "later he went crazy. He felt like a rabbit, jumping around with carrots in his mouth all day long."
The boy laughed.
Is actually thinks this guy is very similar to Ikabird... but that priest, at least so far, has not been so fanatical because of "curiosity".
"Ah, listen," the boy raised a finger, "The show is about to begin! Although it's too early."
He shook his head dissatisfiedly: "This will affect the drama."
Far away, the garden was full of singing and dancing, and suddenly, after a burst of exclamations, it became quiet.
.
The time has not yet come. But even if the people who came to watch the ceremony did not sit in their seats, they were almost there. The huge light curtains on three sides of the garden had already displayed the scenery of the planets of New Britan and the images of the emperors of the Britan Empire - especially the famous ones.
One of the light curtains was on the scene. The guests interviewed were all full of blessings, expressing all kinds of beautiful hopes, and they looked peaceful... Until the three light curtains flashed briefly, an aging face appeared.
Not many people know who she is. The name of Tiana is only circulated among a very small number of people, but anyone can recognize it at a glance. It was a Naden person.
Her long hair flew like tentacles, as if she could poke out the light curtain. Her pupils with silver-gray cracks were extremely bright and dark, looking down at all the surprised people coldly.
Some interviewers who do not belong to New Britan subconsciously began to shoot at the light curtain. Recently, due to the emergence of the Bounty Hunter Guild, the popularity of the Naden Star incident has slightly decreased, but everyone who has paid a little attention can react. What does a Naden face mean when it appears in such a place at such a time?
This is more attractive than a coronation.
Only a few people noticed the possible danger, but they didn't take it too seriously. The defense here is tight, and no matter what, a Naden person can't cause any storm.
"This is what you call an 'accident', right?" Vasar approached Bertram slightly and asked softly in his ear.
"That's right." Bertram replied with a wry smile, "I don't know everything either... I hope she won't bring us any greater surprises."
"I guess she can do only a limited time," Vasar commented very objectively. "After all, she didn't get the best opportunity."
He looked back and the guests in the hall were obviously not very panicked.
"If you want to impress people enough," he said, "at least wait until the young king walks to his throne, or reads his oath."
Bertram almost immediately remembered Ice, who had not returned yet.
"Probably... is in a hurry?" he guessed.
On the light curtain, Tiana had already spoken. Her old voice seemed to fill the entire world, and was engraved on everyone's soul:
Chapter completed!
