"Mom, they all said that dad didn't like mom anymore, that dad deliberately killed mom, and that I was about to become an orphan that no one wanted. I refuted them, and I said dad was not that kind of person, and they laughed at me. I want to go to dad and ask, but I’m afraid, I don’t dare to go. Mom, mom, I miss you so much.”
The maid put down the broom in her hand, and more skillfully than before, she hugged the little girl with red and swollen eyes into her arms.
"Baby, the reason why mom fights is to protect the base, protect everyone from the evil monsters, and protect the children in my base. Everything is done voluntarily by mom."
The maid's words made Ling stop sobbing, stuck out her head, and asked with a sob: "So mom, you are a hero, right?"
"Yes, my mother is a hero, and I came back alive. You have me, your mother. You will never be an orphan. I will always be by your side. You may not be strong enough now, but I learned from your I have seen many excellent qualities in you, and I believe that one day you will be able to be called a person like your father, come on, son."
"Thank you, thank you, Mom!"
"Mom, I want to eat the stewed potatoes you made now, but, is that okay?" Ling wiped the crying face.
"Of course, honey, this is a reward for your bravery."
In the kitchen, a maid wearing an apron was cooking, and next to her was a little girl who turned from crying to smiling, with a look of greed and anticipation.
As a bystander, Liao Ji could clearly see that whenever the little girl named "Ling" was in a sad mood, many red lines symbolizing misfortune would be released from her body.
And these bad breaths were absorbed by the maid when she played the role of mother and comforted the little girl.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl who may have been only six or seven years old now turned into about ten years old. Her height went from only reaching the maid's thighs to now reaching the maid's waist.
The memory of this time is that the little girl rushed in happily. Although she was gray and stained, her face was flushed, and she shouted excitedly to the maid:
"Mom! I became an evildoer! I even killed an evil monster with my own hands! Everyone looked at me in surprise, even my father! I did it, mom! Did you see it, mom! Mom! I also You are also a hero."
Speaking of the last little girl, as she grew older, she seemed to realize that the maid in front of her was not her mother, and her voice became lower and lower. Her real mother would never see this scene.
But soon, the maid bent down. This time, instead of hugging her, she gently pushed away the little girl's long-haired bangs with her hands. This new action made the girl stunned.
"My child, my mother has seen it. I am proud of your achievements. I am happy from the bottom of my heart that you can become a doomed person. My mother knows that you can definitely do it. You have had outstanding talents since you were a child. I believe that from now on In the future, your road will become more and more open, but at the same time, I hope you will not be complacent and continue to work hard."
"After you become a doomsdayer, there will be more and more battles. You are still young and need a lot of training. Remember not to show off. If you are injured, your mother will feel bad. Of course, I firmly believe that in the future, you will be able to surpass your mother and become a base. The most powerful evildoer among them."
"Finally, happy birthday kid, I've prepared your favorite stewed potatoes for you. Go wash your hands and eat it while it's hot."
Ling was stunned again when she heard "birthday". Then she quickly looked at the wasteland calendar next to her and realized that today was indeed her birthday.
This was a day that neither she nor her father had forgotten, but the maid remembered it and prepared a gift for herself. At a certain moment, Ling seemed to really see the shadows of the maid and her gentle mother, overlapping each other. Together.
The memory phantoms from behind began to flash quickly, and scenes of conversations between actors and maids appeared in front of Liao Ji's eyes one after another.
"Mom, I have been promoted to the regular level! My father's attitude towards me is getting better and better, and he is willing to talk to me more. He said that he saw your shadow in me, mother!"
"Of course, after all, you are your mother's child, but she doesn't want you to imitate her too much. You are an independent individual. You don't have to be like your mother. She hopes that you can find your own way. Come on, my child."
"Uh-huh!"
"Mom, I have now begun to take over some of the affairs of the base. It is very difficult to be a manager for the first time. I feel so nervous when I think that I have to be responsible for so many people. Mom, can you help me? Mom, if you can Just be with me."
"Sorry kid, mom can only stay at home and can't go out, but I believe you are just temporarily unskilled. With your intelligence, you will definitely be able to master it quickly. I am very happy to see that our base has one more person. An outstanding leader, and I’m sure others must be as well.”
"Uh-huh!"
"Mom, it's hard to deal with people. It's hard to tell the truth from the false. Mom, you know, today, a former subordinate of my father quietly told me that it was just an accident that I became a doomsdayer a year ago. At that time, It was my father who deliberately let me go out and wanted to kill my mother with a monster. Is this true? Mom. Why did he? Mom, what should I do?"
"Child, I believe these are just rumors, meant to disturb your spirit. You need to use your own eyes to judge the truth of things. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to take care of yourself and find the truth. In the end, No matter what, mom will always support you.”
"Um"
"I found out that what the subordinate said was true. At that time, my father found a new love to replace his mother. Under the temptation of that new love, they didn't expect that the cowardly little girl who was a crybaby actually inherited Because of her mother’s powerful bloodline, she became a doom-changer before the battle. Later, my father was afraid that I would find out, so he killed Xin Huan that night. Tsk, he really deserves to be the one.”
"Mom, it's strange. Logically speaking, I should be angry, but why... I don't have any emotions. I've been feeling a little wrong since recently. Mom, I seem to be becoming more and more indifferent. I feel like I'm losing Lost my feelings, I, I’m so scared, mom, I, I.”
"Child, becoming a doomed person will have certain side effects, especially when something seriously affects you in the outside world. This will cause your spirit to become more unstable, and you may even go berserk. Mom I hope you can pay attention and not be overwhelmed by negative emotions. Whenever you are unhappy, think of your mother, she is here."
"Or, you can express your feelings and use words instead. This can effectively help you, delay your missing feelings, and also allow your mother to understand you better and help you better."
As Ling grew up and became stronger, the little girl who laughed when she was happy and cried when she was sad, who could make the mechanical maid easy to understand, disappeared.
Maybe Ling didn't notice it, but Liao Ji, who was watching, could feel that Ling's current appearance was more and more similar to the father at the beginning of the memory. Her emotions and sorrows began to be hidden, making it difficult for people to guess her heart.
The current mechanical maid, as a mother, can no longer see through her daughter's heart, so she hopes that Ling can express her feelings on her own.
And Ling
"Like this? I thought it was interesting to ask!"
"That's great, kid, so mom can understand you better. If you find it interesting, mom hopes we can keep having this conversation in the future, okay?"
"Okay, then this is the little secret between me and mom!"
"Oh, stupid Ling almost forgot to say the modal particles!"
The turmoil in Ling's body was absorbed by the maid as always through the conversation with the maid, so she gradually regained some of the bright emotions she had as a little girl.
But as Ling's strength increased, the maid could no longer absorb so much. It was visible to the naked eye that there were still many turbid red lines surrounding Ling's body. This may be why, as Ling mentioned earlier, she began to lose more and more emotion.
And Liao Ji knew that, no, it should be said that when Ling could see the red line of Zhuo'e from the time she was a little girl, Liao Ji guessed Ling's terrifying talent in Zhu'e.
But in the old world, the higher the talent, the better. On the contrary, the higher the talent, in addition to the sudden increase in strength, the higher the "runaway" rate.
And losing feelings is one of the signs before a doomed person goes "rage".
