Chapter XXXVII
After seeing Thirteen, Zero immediately wanted to rush forward, but the figure that had just been blurred couldn't control itself at all.
Just as Zero was anxious, Thirteen slowly walked up to Zero's side, stretched out his hand and copied it out of thin air, and took Zero's hand in his hand.
"Don't worry, it's okay. We meet again. ”
Zero nodded vigorously, his eyes hot, but no tears could fall.
Thirteen's palm seemed to possess a magical power, and Zero's body began to manifest at the touch of her palm.
Watching Zero's excited expression, Thirteen smiled, and brushed his palm over Zero's cheek.
"Long time no see. Thirteen whispered, and Zero just nodded to himself.
The two have known each other for a long time and have always been silent.
Eventually, Zero broke the silence and said, "Here... What is the place. ”
Thirteen said: "I don't know the specifics, but one thing is definitely not reality." Zero naturally agrees with this, although his mind is chaotic, but he still remembers the experience in the experimental chamber vividly, and he understands that the world in front of him is just a virtual illusion in his brain.
But the feeling in this illusion is too real.
"That's right... 🔥 I want to tell you one thing, I... Killed. Zero pondered for a moment before saying that although he knew that killing someone was not the right thing to do, he couldn't help but tell the truth in the face of Thirteen.
Thirteen wasn't shocked by this, and said with a faint smile on his face, "I'm sure you don't blame that." ”
Zero thought of the twisted corpse of the man in black, and still had a knot in his chest.
Looking at Zero's frown, Thirteen asked, "What are you killing for?"
Zero thought for a moment and said, "Freedom." ”
Hearing these two words, Thirteen's eyes lit up, and he said in disbelief: "You... Do you understand what freedom is?"
Zero nodded slowly, in the cycle of infinite despair, what he most desperately longed for was freedom, and Zero could appreciate the true meaning of freedom more than many people in the world.
Although Zero didn't say anything, his complicated expression at that moment made Thirteen understand. She couldn't imagine what kind of experiment Zero had been done under the arrangement of Yuan Jing and others, but looking at Zero's expression, she knew that what Zero had experienced was beyond anyone's imagination.
"I'm sorry for you. Thirteen said softly.
Two hearts that seemed to be young but had actually gone through countless hardships resonated in silence.
"What's next?" asked Zero, who had asked Asami before, and who also felt a sense of dependence in the face of Thirteen.
Thirteen tilted his head to the side and whispered, "We need to get something done before we can get out." ”
"Things?" Zero frowned in confusion.
Thirteen said to Zero, "Do you still have memories of things from your childhood?"
"What do you mean?" asked Zero, confused.
Thirteen stared at Zero silently, "Have you heard of the Tritogramia Stone?"
Zero shook his head and said, "Terry... Not impressed. ”
Thirteen nodded, then looked at Zero and said, "Do you want to be a god?"
"God," Zero muttered, his impression even more vague.
Thirteen nodded: "You are destined to become a god, and the future of this world belongs to you." ”
"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand, I..."
Thirteen stopped Zero and said, "Don't worry, some things are predestined, what belongs to you will always be yours, and all you have to do is not resist it, just accept it." ”
Zero looked at her confusedly.
Thirteen smiled, "Don't worry, I'll help you, I said I'd always be by your side." Holding each other with his hands, Zero only felt a wave of warmth welling up in his heart.
"We've always fought for freedom, and I hope that you in the future will never forget whatever you have." ”
Zero nodded ignorantly.
"So let's get started. Thirteen smiled.
…
In the underground space, the lilac-glowing glass box has not changed at all. The light shone on Professor Simon's face, and his cold expression exuded an eerie purple aura.
"You're not going to make it!" Asami's voice came coldly.
Professor Simon turned his head to look at Asami and said, "You don't have a right of certainty at this point. ”
Asami sat in the leather chair where Professor Simon had sat before, her hands folded behind the chair, her two thumbs together and restrained by a two-finger ring.
"You know the dangers of an early thaw, and in such a complex environment, it's a complete aggravation. ”
Professor Simon said disapprehantly: "The extremes of things must be reversed." ”
Asami said coldly, "Are you betting all your bets on one possibility?"
Professor Simon turned his head to look at her coldly and said, "Isn't it a gamble when you're about to flee here with Zero?"
Asami was silent.
Professor Simon held out his fingers and picked Asami's jaw.
"The reason why I didn't kill you is not because I have compassion, but because I think you may still be of some use in the future. Asami looked at him puzzled.
"You're Zero's mother. Simon said suddenly, and Asami's face turned pale when she heard this.
"Even though you only have half the same genes. Professor Simon said in a playful tone.
"What the hell do you want?" Asami's eyes trembled, as if she was looking at a demon. Professor Simon, however, was indifferent.
"I never looked into the origins of those children, because I wanted to give privacy to all my colleagues, and I didn't want to have contact lenses in the future. ”
"But when I learned that you had fled with Zero, I immediately accessed the database and finally found the answer to my question. ”
Professor Simon let out a long sigh and said, "I never thought that a mother who was only related to the scientific definition would be able to do such a thing, risking her own life, is this the legendary blood thicker than water?"
"What exactly is your purpose?" Asami said with a shudder.
Professor Simon shook his head and said, "Don't be nervous, I said you're still useful." Turning to the glass case, Professor Simon asked Asami, "Does he know your identity?"
Asami pursed her lips, her face pale.
Professor Simon chuckled, "Did he recognize you?"
Asami remained silent.
Professor Simon nodded: "Naturally, although he is still young, he can't accept your mother who appeared out of thin air all at once. ”
"So, did he ask you who his father was?"
Asami nodded.
"The answer?"
Asami shook her head.
"Of course, after all, you don't have access to the entire database. ”
Asami suddenly realized something, and jerked her head up to glare at Professor Simon.
"You... Result... What do you want to do?"
