Once upon a time, he was a child. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A five-year-old.

Children are undoubtedly lucky and happy. He was born in a castle and grew up in that castle. The cruelty and wind and snow of the outside world were blocked out by that castle. The maids who cared for him occasionally spoke of the harsh world outside the castle, where babies born outside were sometimes abandoned due to lack of food and even eaten by their own parents.

It was a hellish world.

When he heard about this, he felt more and more fortunate in his little heart.

He also had a beautiful and gentle mother, who would hold him in her arms in the afternoon, listen to the gentle words tell dreamy stories, and then fall asleep unconsciously. Or on a sunny morning, Mother would pull her graceful harp and play notes that enchanted him.

So while he is lucky, he is also happy.

I thought it was going to go on forever, and he would continue to grow and even become an adult. Then the generals who follow the mother will train themselves, and he will become a man who protects the castle, protects the mother. But he couldn't wait for this wish to come true, and a cruel reality hammered his past beauty into pieces like a sledgehammer.

If he could, he would rather not burrow into his mother's bedroom that day.

The boy loves to play hide-and-seek, and every time his mother finds him, he is filled with a feeling of happiness. That feeling of being valued and pampered finally came to an end on that day. That day, he hid in his mother's bedroom. Although his mother repeatedly mentioned that he could go anywhere in the castle, except for the bedroom. But he forgot this rule, and he only wanted to surprise his mother, so he gently pushed open the door and walked into the room that changed his life.

When he first walked into his mother's room, the boy's curiosity quickly dispelled. Because the bedroom is nothing special at all, except for a little more elaborate and gorgeous, it is almost the same as his room. Until he saw a portrait, which was a painting hanging from his mother's bedside. The man in the painting looks like a grown boy no matter how he looks at it, and at that moment, his mother pushes the door open. Out of curiosity, the boy asked his mother, "Who is he?" ”

But the mother did not answer, but she suddenly slapped him, and then ordered the butler not to deliver food to the boy to-day, and finally drove the two maids who took care of the boy out of the castle. As for the boy, he locked himself in his room before he could react to the series of changes.

At this time, the hot pain on his cheeks made him shed tears like pearls. It was the first time he had cried since he was sensible, and he cried very sadly. It's not that his mother slapped him so painfully, but more about his heartache.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, only that when he woke up in the middle of the night, he was lying on his mother's lap. His mother rubbed his immature face with her hand, her eyes showing a hint of sadness, and she asked him, "Does it still hurt?" ”

He shook his head desperately.

"Don't go in again."

He nodded desperately again.

The next day, a new maid came

Take care of him, everything seems to be back to the old days. It's just that the boy's smile is no longer as innocent and bright as before, and there is always an extra picture in his heart.

What does the portrait of a man who resembles him represent? Why did the mother get angry because of this? These doubts were like an untiring knot, tightening more and more tightly in the boy's heart.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye, the boy grew taller, and his mother began to train him with several generals. He also studied desperately, hoping that his mother would pay more attention to him. But since he went to that room two years ago, the boy sensitively noticed that his mother's eyes looked at him with a little less love than before, and a little more coldness than before. The change of his mother made the painting that stayed in his heart more and more obvious.

In the summer of that year, a maid who served him was sent out of the castle. He didn't understand, so he went to ask the butler. The butler told him that no new life had ever been born in this castle, except for him, the young master. He had a lot of affection for the two maids who had served him for two years, and he had heard a lot of rumors about the outside world, and he was afraid that the maid would have a hard time living without the castle, so he secretly took some food and green crystals and slipped out of the castle.

He found the maid and her husband in the wilderness outside the castle, and every once in a while he would bring something to the family. Then a week after the maid left the castle, she gave birth to a healthy baby. When the maid brought the baby to her husband and told the little new life that it was his father, the boy learned for the first time that there was a father in addition to his mother.

He returned to the castle late that day, so he did not dare to enter through the gate, but slipped into a path that he used to walk. When he went into his bedroom room, he found his mother already waiting for him. He looked at his mother with some alarm, but she didn't blame him, just told him that he would have to bring a general with him next time he went out. For the first time in two years, he felt that his mother still cared about him. Perhaps because he was so happy that the boy was emboldened, he blurted out, "Mother, what about my father?" ”

Then the woman who had been planning to leave suddenly turned around, her face was cold as before, which made the boy feel strange and a little helpless. The woman asked, "Why do you ask?" ”

The boy said, "They say, everyone has parents, don't I?" ”

There was a pained look on the woman's face, but it was gone in a flash. She said, "I am your mother." As for the father, he went to an extremely distant place when you were very young. ”

"And when will he be back?"

The woman immediately became impatient, and after leaving a "don't ask again" message, she slammed the door.

The boy didn't know if he was scared or sad, so he sat all night. Two days later, when he approached a general to look at the maid, the general told him not to go. Upon his questioning, the general told him that the woman was dead. Including her children as well as her husband. The boy suddenly knew something, he found his mother, and for the first time in his life asked her: "Why did you kill them!" ”

The woman he called his mother replied coldly: "Because they said things that should not be said." ”

On this day, the boy was like that

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) has a trace of resentment towards his mother.

Another year passed, and one day, the woman was leaving the castle. She told the boy to stay in the castle and wait for her to return, and the boy didn't know where she was going, but he agreed. It was the first time his mother had been away from him, and he was both a little uncomfortable and a little excited. In his mother's absence, the castle was like his kingdom. For the rest of the day, he ran wild in the castle, as if he had returned to his childhood.

That night, he accidentally discovered a room. It was a room in the depths of the castle, and even a wall had been built before it. If it weren't for the hole in the wall, if it wasn't for the fact that he chased a fox cat here, if it wasn't for the fox cat that got into the gap. If it weren't for these ifs, he probably wouldn't have discovered the secret. But everything was as fate would have happened, and after he had walked into his mother's bedroom three years earlier, he had walked into a room that he should not have walked in.

Out of curiosity, he pried open the wall with his tools and walked into the hidden room, which the boy unexpectedly spacious. It's a room, it's like a hall. After he lit a fire to light up the hall, he discovered many strange machines, and the floor was filled with various cables. For him as a young man, it was very difficult to move around this hall.

However, the boy's attention was quickly drawn to the hall, and he noticed that the unnamed machines were still working. In the depths of the hall, he found a row of bucket-like vessels, filled with an unknown liquid. The liquid glowed faintly purple, and as he looked at it, suddenly an eye caught eye in it. The boy was startled and stepped back, hitting a machine behind him before stopping. Only then did he realize that there was a small figure in each of these barrel-shaped vessels.

The boy didn't know what was inside, and he was already a little scared and wanted to leave the room. But the machine he just bumped into seemed to have inadvertently activated some kind of command, so some images and sounds began to appear on one of the screens of the machine. The boy was drawn to the past because he heard his mother's voice. At the same time, the figure of the mother also appeared on that screen.

"Today is the seventy-eighth day of the experiment, and everything is going well. Embryo 14 has grown to the fetal stage, and I am confident that it will be successful this time. But just in case, I prepared five more embryos, and they're growing up well......"

"On the one hundred and third day of the experiment, although the formation of the fetus was slow in terms of the fertile period of the Bal people. However, all kinds of life characteristics are normal, and it won't be long before he can be born smoothly......"

“…… The one hundred and forty-seventh day of the experiment finally ushered in this day. All the waiting and expectation have paid off. He's my child, yes. I will watch this child, who was created according to the characteristics of the Creator, be born and grow, and when he grows up, perhaps I can find some solace in his figure. As for the other fetuses, there is no need to continue the culture, but just in case, let the life-sustaining machine work. Now, what should I call this new life......

"Since he is the life I created in honor of the Creator, call him ...... Naber! ”
