HISO Chapter 128

Chapter 128: “I’ve caught you.”

Yu An belatedly realized what he was about to face.

So, he was going to find his parents soon.

It was strange, seeing his family was something he had once eagerly anticipated, but when it truly arrived, he felt an immense reluctance.

He hadn’t seen the sea yet.

Nor had he seen jasmine flowers blooming.

He hadn’t even finished learning the knowledge in his textbooks…

Of course, the thing he couldn’t let go of the most was the little monster.

His first friend.

It might sound unbelievable, but although Yu An was likeable, he never had any friends. Because he was weak and sickly since childhood, like a porcelain doll, not many people were willing to play with him.

Except for the little monster…

In the last second before Yu An’s vision completely darkened.

He saw the little tentacled monster swimming towards him, but the golden light of the magic circle behind him shone brightly, gradually engulfing him until he disappeared.

The little monster was gone.

That was good, he was free.

But.

He wanted to grow up with him even more.

And he didn’t want to… forget him…

Xie, Jinsheng.

Yu An wanted to engrave this name into the depths of his heart, but he still closed his eyes bit by bit.

This usually gentle and soft human boy gradually fell asleep on the frozen lake.

A layer of thin snow had accumulated on his body, and his breathing was getting shallower and shallower.

The jasmine flower seeds that had fallen out of his pocket, shaken out by the shockwave, had been buried in the cold soil for a while on the rooftop.

This kind of flower was delicate and difficult to grow, very susceptible to cold, and would die in a cold winter.

But the bag of flower seeds in front of him sprouted with an extremely strong vitality.

Just as Yu An also fell into a pre-death slumber.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy pouring into his body.

After a moment, it seemed that the wind and snow had stopped.

He “saw” someone walking over.

With a waterfall of white hair, he was an extremely enchanting and beautiful man, but his eyes contained a few hints of early spring-like warmth.

It was the Main God Boss.

Yu An was stunned, but he was currently muddle-headed, and the pain of just experiencing death had exhausted his soul, making it impossible to think.

He felt the Main God Boss gently pick him up, the memory of him, very gently.

A faint scent of medicine wafted over.

It seemed that he had also smelled a similar scent on the masked Dean.

[You shouldn’t save him.] It was the AI voice of the Main System, popping up from nowhere: [He stayed beside Tan Si for a full half a year, and has gone through these experiences, he might be a world-destroying villain in the future!]

The Main God’s voice was as clear and cold as a spring, injecting energy into the child’s cut neck, and said: “If it wasn’t because of me, he… wouldn’t have become like this.”

Only nine years old.

He had lost his family and then his life.

Looking at the child’s face, one could tell that he was destined to be a wealthy child who should have been pampered and spoiled all his life, yet he had ended up in this situation.

[But you and Tan Si, were already two different people a thousand years ago!] The Main System reminded, [The mistakes Tan Si made shouldn’t be shouldered by you.]

“You don’t understand, the grievances between me and him…” Wen Jinyi’s eyes turned cold as he thought of something.

If the Main System AI could be a little more careful, it would have noticed that there seemed to be a bite mark remaining on the side of the Main God’s neck. It was a very deep bite, one that wouldn’t disappear even after hundreds of years, “It’s not something that can be settled with just one or two strokes.”

There were too many debts that needed to be settled face to face.

Yu An felt Wen Jinyi’s gaze fall back on him, his eyes full of heartache and reluctance.

“Sleep.” The Main God’s slender jade-white fingers touched his wound, healing it little by little, “When you wake up, everything will be fine.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu An’s thoughts were coaxed into complete sleep.

The next day was a sunny day with melting snow.

Little Yu An woke up from bed, feeling like he had slept for a long time and experienced a lot.

When he saw the full courtyard of crabapple trees through the window, he was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a little unfamiliar.

After a moment, the curtains were pulled open, and a person in a long shirt walked over. Strangely, he seemed very young, and also very old, and he couldn’t quite remember his face.

“Hello, Little Yu An, I am the head of the orphanage that adopted you,” the other party said gently, “In the future, you can call me Grandpa Headmaster.”

It was the Main God Boss…

Seeing this, Yu An already understood everything.

No wonder the Main God Boss took such good care of him when he entered the Space-Time Bureau, so he was the Grandpa Headmaster who existed in his memory later and treated him very well.

Little Yu An always felt that he had forgotten a lot of things.

Especially when he heard the words orphanage, he felt a conditioned reflex of panic for some reason, and blurted out:

“Father…”

Even he was stunned.

The head of the orphanage walked to his side and said, “You don’t have to call me that, just call me Grandpa, don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”

More than a dozen hours passed.

Little Yu An finally regained a sense of security here.

But he was stunned when he looked down at a painting on the wall.

The white paper depicted the sea, with a boat on it, and two stick figures leaning against each other. Based on his knowledge of liking jasmine flowers, he recognized that one of the short stick figures holding jasmine flowers was himself.

So, who was the other tall one?

And there was something black under his feet, which looked very scary.

Little Yu An shivered, but he vaguely felt that he shouldn’t be afraid.

Moreover, he should be holding a book in his hand, and then a greasy soft thing would come to wrap around his wrist, intimately touching his fingertips…

Headache.

Little Yu An felt uncomfortable thinking about it, so he closed his eyes.

That day, he had a dream.

In the dream, there was a ship at sea, and the hall was filled with fragrant jasmine flowers.

Suddenly, a melodious and pleasant piano sound came from upstairs.

He walked up step by step and saw the figure of a strange monster boy, with many tentacles dragging behind him, playing the piano.

It should have been terrifying.

But he wasn’t afraid at all.

The little monster smiled and said, “You’re finally here.”

You were waiting for me? Do we know each other?

Yu An suddenly woke up in a daze. Then, he fell asleep again, and this time and in the future, he never dreamed of that monster boy again.

Since then.

The memories ended.

And Yu An’s soul was completely freed from the body in the memories.

At that moment, he chased after Tan Si with his sword.

The memories created by the key had not dissipated, so he quickly saw the other party in the snow. Without any hesitation, Yu An directly stabbed him with his sword.

Tan Si was walking when he felt a knife stabbing into his chest.

He turned his head and saw the usually weak and helpless teenager, but now his eyebrows and eyes were so sharp that it was outrageous.

His eyes were filled with hatred, disgust, everything.

Tan Si paused for a few seconds and recognized him, smiling:

“Ah, is it the grown-up Little Yu An? Your temperament is much more interesting than when you were little. It’s a pity you can’t kill me, the me in front of you now is just a remnant created by the key.”

Indeed.

The blade couldn’t penetrate the flesh at all.

But Yu An still slashed several times, cutting his remnant image until it became transparent, and said word by word with red eyes: “One day, I will return to the Space-Time Bureau to find you and kill you with my own hands.”

For his parents.

And also for himself who died in the snowy night.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you, Little Yu An.” The remnant Tan Si showed an annoying expression, looked at the surrounding mist, and raised his eyebrows: “However, whether you can return to the Space-Time Bureau alive, I don’t know.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The remnant Tan Si scattered with a smile.

Only then did Yu An feel the scenes in the memory gradually dissipating, replaced by balls of black gas rushing towards him.

Trying to engulf him.

He wanted to resist desperately, but the memories had just consumed a lot of his emotions. Just as he used his sword to slash down four or five balls of black mist, the next second he suddenly saw his parents’ faces in the black gas…

Mom and Dad.

His eyes were blurred with tears, and the sword in his hand had stopped.

And the black gas on the side had already taken the opportunity to attack!

Yu An couldn’t withstand the impact and fell straight into the frozen lake.

Was he… going to sink into the deep sea like this?

Yu An’s eyelashes trembled, but when he thought of Tan Si’s face, his emotions burned again. He gripped the blade tightly, trying to stay awake with the pain—

A warm soft thing suddenly trembled on his wrist, giving him warmth.

Yu An was stunned.

His round eyes blinked unblinkingly, as if in disbelief, or as if he hadn’t reacted.

Until a strong arm forcefully hugged his slender waist.

The next second, he fell into a familiar, scorching chest, and the clear scent of sandalwood instantly rushed over, dispelling all the cold and darkness on his body.

“…”

Yu An’s heart was beating fast.

He heard the man’s slightly hoarse voice, with a hint of sadness, ringing in his ear, “This time, I really caught you.”

Yu An.

Even if I die in this lifetime, I will never let go of you like I did when I was a child.
