Chapter 6: The Death of the Brain

The Western Star Field, the lair of the Resistance, the home planet of Ed's administration

The military and political center of the administrative star has been occupied by the rebels at this time, and is used as a military command room. Of course, the effect of looking good is greater.

At this time, the entire command center was already in a state of sadness.

Gretel, Kidd, and Dimilli had all come out of the culture tank at this time, but their faces were all gloomy. Suddenly, Gretel's hair trembled, and Kidd and Dimilli on the side were also instinctively on the same side in the same direction for a moment. Countless spears and cannons appeared out of thin air, and the surrounding air seemed to be cut off by some powerful force, and it was distorted to the naked eye, and a cold cold air enveloped the room, as if a killing intent was brewing.

I saw that the center surrounded by this killing intent suddenly blurred, and a figure suddenly appeared in place. The three of them hadn't seen what was happening, they only felt a heavy pressure on their shoulders, and the murderous aura in the room suddenly disappeared into invisibility. Only then did the three of them see that it was the old Shanny, who is now Olivia.

Seeing the visitor, the three of them immediately put away their guard, but the sad look on their faces could not be concealed. Olivia sensed that something was wrong, and her heart began to feel uneasy, "Something's wrong?" ”

...

"Let's go inside, it's inside!" Gretel's face no longer had the smile he remembered, and there was a sadness on his face.

Olivia was silent for a moment, looking at her equally grieving relatives around her, and finally walked in silently.

The house was covered in real films, and as soon as she walked into the room, Olivia felt the same sense of familiarity, but she didn't have the slightest impression of the place.

The room is very simple, with only a table and two loveseat sofas. On the table next to it was a vase, and the flowers in the vase were in bright bloom. In the small cabinet against the wall, there are some bits and pieces. On the ceiling, an old fancy chandelier hangs down, as if it will be extinguished by the old wiring as soon as it is opened.

Olivia looked at everything in the room, and felt strange and warm.

"You... It's coming! Daddy John's voice came from outside the gate leading to the courtyard.

Olivia walked silently towards the outside of the room, only to see a rocking chair outside the room, and on the rocking chair lay a gray-haired old man, who did not see the shadow of Daddy John's vicissitudes of life.

"Your brother and sister... Put things on... Told you all, right? Daddy John's voice sounded again, not surprisingly from the gray-haired old man. Olivia didn't speak, but the old man didn't care at all: "Here... You probably don't know each other. Over here... It was the first home I built with your mother, and at that time... You're not even five years old. ”

But Olivia still stood behind Daddy John, just hanging her head and letting her hair cover her face, and she didn't say a word.

Daddy John didn't care, his eyes looked into the unreal distance, leaned back in the rocking chair and swayed, and continued to say slowly: "I will always remember the moment you were born, the moment I held you in my arms. I once swore to protect you, not to let you fall, not to let you get hurt, and to watch you grow up healthy. But I was wrong, when I was wrong, I lost my family, I lost your mother, I lost you..."

"That's enough..."Olivia reacted when she heard her mother, interrupting her father.

"I'm sorry..."Daddy John wanted to turn his head away, but he felt too tired, and his tone was a little heavy: "I'm dying... Before I die... Can I ask you a question? For some reason, Daddy John's voice trembled, as if he was afraid to bring up the question, even though he was about to die. But he still asked: "You... Hate me? ”

"Hateβ€”" Olivia's head was still down, and even her voice was muffled, "I kept praying that you would show up when Mom shoved me into the fireplace and blocked my body with her body, but you didn't. When Mom's screams outside the fireplace kept getting into my ears, I kept praying that you would show up, but you didn't. When I woke up, the world was only half gone, and you appeared. I hate you... I really hate you..."

At this time, there was the sound of water dripping on the floor...

A drop...

Two drops...

"But, please... Don't die... Father! Don't die..."Olivia's voice sounded, tears dripped from her eyes and fell to the ground, Olivia trembled and cried, but Daddy John couldn't hear it...

Hearing his daughter's last voice, hearing the father's voice, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he slowly closed his eyes.

has survived for hundreds of years, and the wise brain that is not afraid of death and is scheming, until the last moment of his life, is just a father...

...

Daddy John knew he was going to die, but he didn't know what kind of desperate situation he would face. But when he came out of the tank, he knew his future.

Hundreds of years of life in the culture tank have impregnated every cell in his body. For hundreds of years, changes in the environment have made their bodies unable to adapt. A body as strong as Daddy John's, but he is also suffering from the desperate situation of being eroded.

But at this moment, Daddy John didn't think of himself, but thought of his three children. With the help of Wen Zhong, Olivia came out of the culture tank without any sequelae, but she was already like this, so what about the other three children? It was also at this time that Daddy John suddenly understood what Wen Zhong said about his death in the future.

Hundreds of years ago, the ability that Daddy John got from Wen Zhong's blood was absolute control, an ability that he could control with his mental power as long as he wanted to. Hundreds of years is enough for Daddy John to be an ordinary person and almost equal to aliens like Skynet. In a sense, he... It's not a human anymore.

Daddy John finally made a decision he would never regret and took control of his life... He gave away his immense power and distributed it among his three children. In the last moments of his life, Daddy John leaves the three children and sits alone in the house to enjoy the last moments of peace until Olivia's arrival.

At the end of his life, Daddy John had no regrets, but for the four children he left behind, a fatherless world was coming to them...

...

"I'm leaving," Olivia said to her brother and sister standing next to her, holding Hal who was asleep with one hand, "and I'll send him back when it's all over." ”

As the figure blurred for a while, only the three Gretel siblings were left in the room.

It was also at this moment that the three of them also realized that this youngest sister had embarked on a completely different path from them. But... They have made a choice, and there are so many companions who need to be rescued in which cage, and they must take on different responsibilities without their father, until... They may want to see each other again.
