Chapter 138: Renata and Zero
Zero paused to reminisce, he looked at his brother and asked softly, "When are we going to let Renata see me?" β
"It's coming." The younger brother smiled,
"Brother, do you want to see her? I mean, she can see you the kind of seeing her. β
"Hmm......" Zero scratched his head.
"It's really fast." The younger brother said,
"Next time you open your eyes, brother, you can see her."
"Will we meet in reality?" Zero was stunned,
"But she didn't dare to come to Room Zero before."
"Yes." The younger brother nodded. Suddenly, the younger brother asked, "Since the last fusion, brother, your body has been easily controlled by me...... Don't regret it? β
"I think it's okay...... You're not going to do anything weird. Zero smiled.
"Brother, there may be something very important to happen in the past few days, can you agree to let us integrate more deeply?" The younger brother whispered,
"Of course, I'll only occasionally control your body, brother, to do something to make sure we can get out."
"Something very important?" Zero was a little confused.
"We may ...... It's time to get out of this place. The younger brother said.
"Leave...... Over here? Zero was stunned.
"It's not leaving this black box, it's not that dark room, it's not this cold port. It's freedom, the freedom you can go anywhere in the world. The younger brother said in a seductive tone.
Zero hesitated, scratching his head,
"Yes...... Do you want to bring Renata with you? β
"Of course." The younger brother smiled and said,
"She was originally your brother's helper for the two of us, and she will help us get out of here."
"Uh-oh." Zero nodded as if he didn't understand,
"Then let's continue to merge, and we'll be separated by that time anyway, right?" The younger brother nodded.
"Brother, where do you want to go when you go out?" The younger brother asked suddenly.
"I don't know." Zero shook his head.
"......" There was a moment of silence between the two, and Zero asked, "When I woke up, where were you when I left the black box?" β
"It's still here." The younger brother obediently hugged his knees.
"Or here?" Zero was stunned,
"And how did you see the outside?" The younger brother pointed to the pure black wall opposite,
"Brother, when you open your eyes, it will show what you see, brother."
"And what you hear, brother, will come from the walls on both sides." The younger brother pointed to the walls on either side.
"Of course, if I wanted to, I would be able to see and hear a lot of things that you don't know, brother." The younger brother added.
If it's future
"Zero" is here, and he will definitely complain: "Good guy, are you still a binaural feeling?" "But it's a pity that he's not there, so Zero just scratches his head, and some don't know what to say...... Because he suddenly felt that his brother was much more pitiful than himself.
"Renata is coming." The younger brother suddenly said,
"Brother, you're about to wake up." The younger brother held out his hand to Zero,
"Come on, brother, a deeper integration." Zero stood up, walked up to his brother, looked at his outstretched palm, and slowly reached out as well.
"Brother." The younger brother suddenly asked faintly,
"Will you come to my rescue?" Zero was stunned for a moment, and although he didn't understand what the other party was talking about, he couldn't help but respond softly.
"Yes." The younger brother didn't respond, just smiled.
"......" Zero slowly opened his eyes, and the familiar dark room fell into view, and at the same time there was a girl's back.
Is that...... Renata? Zero was a little anxious and wanted to say not to go, but the words changed when they came to his mouth.
"Don't be in a hurry, Renata." This is...... What's the situation? Zero was puzzled.
"That's a side effect of deeper integration." And the younger brother said in his heart,
"During this time, brother, what you do is not completely under your control, and some of it will be affected by my subconscious." Zero understood, but he didn't care much about it, just looked at Renata, who turned to look at him, with a silent smile on his face.
"You know me?" Renata was a little surprised.
"Of course, I know a lot about you...... You're a celebrity here. The delicate boy stuck out his tongue.
In fact, he wanted to scratch his head, but his body was firmly bound by his restraint clothes, and his hands couldn't move. The younger brother said that he would be able to meet Renata in magic next time, so Zero hesitated and didn't tell the other party the truth.
Renata was a little dazed, the other party's face was covered by a wire mask, and he couldn't see the expression clearly, but his smart eyes could see clearly, which conveyed an intimate attitude...... There was even a slight pleading, as if he wanted to stay and talk to him.
"You...... What is your name? Renata also rarely communicates with strangers, and her wording is a bit dry.
"Me? They didn't give me a name. The boy said,
"This is room zero, so I'll name myself room zero!"
"Hello, Zero, I'm Thirty-Eight Renata." Renata didn't know who or what.
"You're looking for something, aren't you?" Zero said,
"Looking for what?" Renata hesitated in reply,
"Find ...... Find a friend. "Looking for a friend? Is it me? No, it should be Black Snake......
"If you're looking for a friend...... May I? Zero blinked,
"We can be good friends." Renata felt that the other party probably misunderstood what she meant, but Zero actually just wanted to say that I can also be your friend, but the words on her lips changed again.
So Zero, who was afraid that he had said the wrong thing, could only look at Renata pitifully, like a little seal that was currying favor with humans.
Renata's heart relented, she had seen a small seal that had strayed into the harbor before, and it looked like thisβbut before Renata could reach out and touch its head, the little one was hacked to death by the head nurse with an axe, and it became everyone's snack at night...... Except for the sad little Renata who hid in her room, she didn't eat a bite.
After a moment's hesitation, Renata replied against her will, "Okay......"
"Friends should have some expression, right?" Zero smiled. Renata subconsciously hugged the rag bear in her arms, which she named Zoro, she had heard that friends were going to give gifts to each other, but everything here was rationed, and she had nothing else to give to each other, except for the Doctor who gave her an extra komit doll.
But 'Zoro' is a very important thing for Renata, and she gave it this name in the hope that 'Zoro' can protect herself like Zoro in the story protects others.
Renata didn't want to give it to Zero, whom she had just met.
"But I don't have anything to give you." Zero smiled, as if he saw the girl's thoughts,
"Why don't we tell each other a secret?"
