Chapter 562: Inheritor of the Curse
nbsp; Chloe is no longer a little girl, but she still has the habit of listening to a story before bed. γFanβ½β‘ eggplant small β said that the net w'w'w'.-f-q'x-sw tonight's story is especially important to her, this is a story about the origin, a secret that has been buried for too long.
Li found a very special location for her story, a platform made of wooden planks deep in the mangrove forest, like an abandoned dock next to a dry river. She said there would be fireflies, but the fireflies haven't come yet. The considerate Li Qi cleared the field, piled up the hard branches and sawdust, lit it with a lighter, and made a small fire. Chloe was wrapped in a blanket and felt a lot warmer. Looking at her from the side, her face looks particularly delicious under the reflection of the red flames, her lovely chin is gently raised, and her cheeks are shrunk, as if she is swallowing saliva from time to time.
However, what she wanted to hear was actually a horror story.
Li Qian fiddled with the fire and began to speak: "That's the person, the last pilot of the Shangtang base, and the only ...... of us who has not been corrupted by the Hundred Day Ghosts."
βxγβ Chloe knew that Liqi didn't want to name the man.
"Thanks, I'll just call that person X, my former best friend." Li Qi stabilized the fire, refilled the coffee pot, and clamped it on the fire, "Before the Meng struck, X had just returned from Osaka. β
"Osaka? X is a Japanese man? β
"No, just to visit the patient, X's father is treating there. I'll go with you, too. Tomato Novel β‘ Net β w-w-w-.-f'q'x-s'w'"
"That's right. That seems to be a very serious illness. β
"That's right, it's very deadly, and that's the 'first patient' I sue you."
"The first patient of the whooping ghost system? I know why the man's name is kept secret, X's father is one of the Seven Aces of Jiawu. β
"That's right. In retrospect, it was a very unpleasant meeting. I was outside the hospital room, and I heard the conversation between X and my father. β
Li Qi recalled and told the uncomfortable story:
It was a very dark night, and the hospital corridor was very dark, and not a single light was turned on. It's not that the effects of the nuclear attack on Nippon haven't dissipated, but for the sake of the patient, X's father is very sick and eccentric, and his body can't be exposed to too strong light. X walked in step by step, and the footsteps were clear. His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he slowly saw his father's figure lying on the hospital bed.
Li Qi leaned against the wall, breathing slowly, for fear of disturbing the meeting between the two.
X hasn't seen his father for a long time, and it's completely out of his heart that he doesn't want to see him. If it weren't for the fact that his father was seriously ill, X would not have come back at all. Even when he saw his former majestic father lying on the hospital bed, X did not have the slightest sympathy. His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he gradually saw his father's face, a face that was extremely terrifying under the distortion of the sequelae of the Hundred Day Ghost system, and only by the expression twisted by those knife-like wrinkles could one recognize that it was his father. βββ½ββ Tomato Fiction Web w-w'w'.-f-q-x'sw
"Daddy......" X opened his mouth first.
The sound of trying to turn over, the sound of coughing and coughing, and a sigh. "My baby, I, am a little disappointed. I never thought you'd look at me in such strange eyes. Hehe, you are my most precious treasure, but you have abandoned it, all, you have left me with nothing. β
"You abandoned me, Daddy." X didn't say much, just threw this sentence coldly.
"Do you still mind? It turns out that all you mind is that you don't have the same birthday party as everyone else, and you don't have your parents to go to the zoo like other children, right? I haven't worn new clothes, I'm not ...... like everyone else," he choked up, his temper suddenly agitated, "You don't need to come. I thought you were growing up, but you didn't understand it, and I never thought you could understand that. "I don't intend to ask you to forgive me." β
A helpless, old laugh came, "Heh, you don't understand at all, you don't understand my sacrifice, my dedication." My darling, do you know what a whole new world you can get in exchange for what little you lose? A world that exists on the other side of the legend. I had to sacrifice, along with you, your ridiculous childhood, wanting to be the same as other mediocre children. You think I'm selfish, so I look at me like that. But all this qiΔ I did was for you and for your future. β
Li Qian listened outside the wall, not daring to take a breath.
In the ward, X did not answer. Fanβ eggplant β‘ novel network w'w-w.fqxsw
Silence lasted for a long time, and no one spoke.
YiqiΔ was unusually quiet.
X's father let out a long, deathly laugh. The laughter this time was completely different from the previous one, and the sound was strange and complicated. X's father laughed and coughed, "I'm so stupid. Now I know...... I should have known. If I had seen your eyes earlier, I wouldn't have said those stupid things just now. β
"I'm not surprised."
"Yes, I was wrong, I was stupid. It turns out that you are also ...... Hehe, you have chosen the same path as me. I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't expect that. I'm dying, my darling. I, who originally had no heir, should have a son. Hehe, it's funny, you hate me, you choose to inherit me because you hate me, right? You want to take revenge on me, so sue me before I die, let me know about my incompetence. Look, look at your own eyes, you're already involved in the whooping ghost trial, aren't you? Sue me, after all, is it or not! β
"Yes." X's answer remained calm, "But not to get revenge on you." β
Long laughter, bordering on madness, "I knew, I should have known...... Good! I regretted that I didn't have a son, and I don't regret it now. But are you starting to regret it, my darling? Do you feel that your body is changing? Can you sleep at night? Do you often have a headache, feel like your head is spinning around your neck, and twist your neck into folds? β‘ Tomato Novelβ‘ w'w'w-.fqxswNext, you will also feel another self in your skull, eager to open your skull and break out of the cocoon. That's your new life, but it's not you. Yes...... No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry my darling, these are horrible, I shouldn't be talking to you about this, I just want to know your determination. Actually, you are not obligated to inherit these. β
X did not answer.
"The curse of the Hundred Days. I used to think this statement was ridiculous, but now I don't think there is anything more appropriate for this series of changes that are born in us. Those medical experts...... Ha, lame doctor, I can't remember any of the names I have for my ailments. Now, my darling, you'll have to inherit it too. I don't know who asked you to join the Hundred Days Ghost Project, and I don't know how long you've been involved, there's nothing I can do about it. Still, I'm proud and ashamed of your choice...... Baby, you don't have to take it at all. Now that you've reached this point, you have to go on. Well, listen to me, in the future, if one day, you can't hold on, there is someone who can save you. That person was different from me, from everyone else. β
His breath gradually soothed, "...... Perhaps, it was a mistake from beginning to end; Perhaps, you have a chance to correct this mistake. Come, come, my darling, listen to me, find that man......"
In the ward, the sound became weaker and weaker until it was no longer audible. In the pitch-black ward, as the sound gradually faded away, the other qiΔ seemed to disappear as well.
Liqi stopped talking, poured the hot coffee into an aluminum cup, and handed it to Chloe. "It was a very dark night, just like today. As for x......"
"X, it's Qiao Hongyu, it's Qiao Fu's daughter."
"Well, you guessed it yourself."
X's father said that he regretted that he did not have a son, and that she did not have to inherit them. I think she must be his own daughter. Among the seven aces of the First Five-Year War, only Qiao Fu is like this. Koloy took the aluminum cup and gently covered it with her hand, "But I really didn't expect that Qiao Hongyu was in Shishi Company, that is, it was Shi Yi who took Qiao Fu's daughter, but unfortunately Qiao Fu didn't know it at the time." β
"He should know. After the war, it was Shi Yi who brought out the whooping ghost system to continue driving in the name of a private company, and it was necessary to test the pilot. If it were someone else, who would have this condition? Qiao Fu knew that there was nothing he could do about it at the time, so he put his hope on another person. The conversations I didn't hear at the time should have been Qiao Fu telling Qiao Hongyu the name of that person. β
"That person, of course, means the striking."
Li Qian smiled knowingly.
Chloe continued: "He is the only one who is different from everyone else in the Seven Aces of the First Sino-Japanese War. β
"Yes. After that, Qiao Fu died. The Central 6 held a memorial service for him, although he is no longer from the Air Force. At the memorial service, the Air Force mentioned Qiao Hongyu's name in public for the first time. By that time, she had already left Osaka and returned to Shishi. I think it was that memorial service that made other military companies in Nanyang focus on the name Qiao Hongyu and her relationship with Shishi Company. They all knew who Qiao Fu's heir was, or rather, to whom the curse had been continued. β
"What about her? Did Qiao Hongyu go to find Meng Zhu? β
"Nope. She was determined to continue her father's unfinished business and explore the other side of the world led by the Hundred Days Ghost, so she didn't think about going to find Meng. You know, Qiao Fu just said that if one day, she can't hold on, Meng is the only person who can save her. Still, I think she's betting. β
Li Qi filled the fire with some branches, "Qiao Hongyu is betting that she will make a breakthrough first; Instead of becoming a monster like her father first. β
"Monsters?"
"Yes, the official text jiΓ n also uses the word, some kind of monster. It sounds exaggerated, or rather dramatic. In fact, the official is using dramatic words to cover up the more strict facts. I heard that Qiao Fu did not die in his hospital bed, but in the air expeditionary force garrison base in Osaka, Japan, and the cause of death was a fall from a building. The insider's account is more exaggerated than the word monster, and the person I trust told me that Qiao Fu did not become a monster, but became a carrier of a monster. He must be 'sealed'. β
"It's incredible." Chloe tightened her blanket, "But Qiao Hongyu didn't succeed, did she." β
"Of course it didn't work, otherwise, our world wouldn't have fallen to what it is now."
"Why didn't she go find Meng Zheng."
"Because the smanger himself came. Remember, that's why Meng Strike came to the Shangtang base. Li Qi replied, "I originally thought that the arrival of Meng Struck would make all the Yiqi better, and finally give the study of the Hundred Day Ghost an understanding. Unexpectedly, I was completely wrong, and things went in the opposite direction. She took a deep breath, "You can understand it when you listen to it." β
