[The problematic one is Mutt himself!]
A strong sense of fragmentation came from my mind, as if even the scenery in front of me was shattered piece by piece. The whole world seemed to be shattered at this moment, falling from the void like broken bricks and broken tiles.
His knees softened involuntarily, and he fell to the ground. Mutt knelt on the ground, his pupils constricted violently, but he couldn't make a sound with his mouth open, as if his throat was choked by something. The world around him shattered in an instant, and he couldn't see or hear anything. He instinctively hugged his head and clasped his fingers tightly.
It's not unbearable pain, just a sudden sense of weightlessness, as if falling from a high altitude into the bottomless abyss, the feeling of endless falling is extremely terrifying, and the strong self that follows negative-
Frightened to the point of unbearable—
Suddenly, one severed the slice. As if wanting to protect himself, all senses were cut off suddenly, and his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness. The boy kneeling on the ground fell forward, and the jet-black hair that rose up brushed his closed eyes.
However, before he was about to fall forward to the ground, a pair of hands suddenly reached out to catch him, and his body fell into those arms.
Troll, who was half-kneeling on the ground on one knee, hugged Mutt who was lying in his arms, and pressed his lips tightly. He stood up, scooped up Mutt with both hands, and hugged Mutt horizontally. He looked down, and saw the pale young man leaning softly on his chest, even the pink lips were bloodless at the moment, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.
Memory is confused.
Troll frowned.
He forbade Robin and the others to show abnormal expressions in front of Mute, just because he was worried about this.
Mutt told him that his memory is good and bad, and he often loses his memory again, but he is very clear that he has fully recovered, and there is no such thing as good and bad.
Troll remembered that when he woke up in the middle of the night, he had already remembered everything. Then he got up and went straight to Mutt's temporary residence.
Thinking of what Mute did during his amnesia... On the way, Troll had already thought of many ways to teach that little guy a good lesson. But when he saw the tired look on the face of the peacefully sleeping boy, he softened his heart a bit, and instead of waking up, he carried Mute back to the room.
Don't worry, there will be plenty of time in the future anyway.
At that time, he looked at Mute, who was sleeping deeply, and smiled. Thinking of this, he hugged him like this, feeling the familiar temperature in his arms, and fell asleep again.
He woke up early the next morning, and the teenager curled up in his arms was still sleeping, his head obediently pressed against his chest, there was still a little pressure mark on his cheek, and his slender eyelashes moved occasionally. That cute little appearance when he was asleep made him very soft-hearted, and he was reluctant to wake him up, so he just watched quietly.
It didn't take long before Mutt moved, opened his eyes and rubbed them with his hands, his face still had a confused look on his face, he didn't seem to notice his existence, and he just sat on the bed by himself. Sitting up, he continued to rub his eyes and yawned.
Looking at the boy's messy black hair, he couldn't help being a little amused, then sat up, and stretched out his hand to help Mutt comb his messy hair. But after he made such a move, Mute finally realized his existence, and looked up at him with a look of astonishment on his face.
At first, Troll thought that Mutt's expression was because he hadn't remembered what happened last night, but soon he realized something was wrong. Because Mute looked at him, apart from astonishment, there was also strangeness.
Mutt was looking at him like a stranger.
Almost at the same moment, just when Troll noticed something was wrong, Mute also spoke.
He stared blankly at Troll and asked, "Who are you?"
Troll's heart skipped a beat, and he opened his mouth to speak, but before he could make a sound, Mute suddenly showed a distressed look on his face, put his hands on his head, and passed out without saying a word.
Subconsciously, he reached out and hugged the fallen boy, checked nervously, and found that Mutt had only calmed down a little after falling asleep, and then carried him directly to his dedicated medical room.
…
Naturally, nothing can be checked out in the end. Mutt's physical condition is very normal, there is nothing wrong with it, but he has been in a coma. Just when Troll was about to use mental attunement to enter Mute's mental image to check the situation, Mute suddenly woke up by himself.
Mute who woke up had no memory of his amnesia at all, and what surprised Troll was that Mute actually told him that it was Troll who lost his memory again that morning, and that he had a split personality. Danger.
In this regard, Troll was extremely astonished. It was Mut who asked 'Who are you' that morning? Why did he lose his memory again in Mutt's memory
Moreover, this kind of thing happened more than once.
After that day, Mute suddenly lost his memory twice in a row, and what Troll couldn't figure out was that every time Mute lost his memory, he would tell him that he had changed back to the one who lost his memory. That person, and also noticed that there are two personalities in the body.
...
In great anxiety, Troll called Robin and Via and asked them what happened during the time when he lost his memory, and why Mutt had such a strange behavior.
After thinking about it for a long time, Via told Troll everything Mutt had said to him and Robin.
"He himself once said that once the memory is confused, the human spirit will automatically complete the missing part of the memory in order to protect itself. I think he may be in the same situation now."
Robin, who was thinking over there, also spoke.
"Mute mentioned to me back then that he had to split all his memories related to you because of the boss you forced to carry out mental coherence... Is his behavior related to this incident?"
Troll was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"… indeed so."
He probably already understood what was going on.
That was the sequelae caused by Mute's forcibly splitting his memory in the mental image in order to protect him. The split memories sometimes surfaced, and sometimes re-dive into the depths of the subconscious and be sealed, which is why Mutt doesn't remember him from time to time.
In order to protect itself, the spiritual body automatically completed the memory when Mutt did not remember him, and formed the [false memory]—that is what Mutt thought happened [Troll lost his memory again].
In other words, in fact, every time Mutt experienced [Troll amnesia repetition], it was Mutt himself who lost his memory.
And there's Mutt's dream... It's not so much a 'Mutt's dream', but it's actually a result of being invaded by Troll's spirit, making the spirits of the two fragmented and mixed.
Especially at that time, Troll's spirit was not stable. In order to protect himself, a virtual personality was born, which led to the illusion of two different personalities. And this illusion and spirit of different personalities will also have a certain impact on the other party when in contact with Mute's spirit.
That's why Mute felt that this dream was very wrong, because it was not purely his own dream, but was caused by the doping, infiltration and even stimulation of Troll's consciousness. If it must be described, this dream is actually half Belonging to Mutt, half belonging to Troll, intertwined and finally formed into a mess that is neither quite Mutt's dream nor quite Troll's dream.
As usual, with Mutt's powerful spiritual power, he would not be penetrated and stimulated by Troll's consciousness at all, but what happened happened just right. He made an act of forcibly splitting his own memory and hiding it under the deepest subconscious mind—this made Mute's mental strength drop to the lowest point at that time, and when his mental strength was the weakest, he received Trouble again. It was the influence of Er, which led to his strange dream, and the ensuing memory and mental confusion.
...
"So, to sum it up, Mute's current behavior is all because you, Boss, are so jealous that you force Mute to forcibly synchronize his spirit."
Robin concluded.
"..."
With a beep, a message came from the medical room next to it. In silence, Troll turned around and walked quickly into the medical room. Robin shrugged and walked in with Via.
The transparent glass cover has been slowly opened, and the white mist emanating from it carries a faint smell of medicine, permeating the snow-white medical room. Several light curtains suspended in the air are flashing rapidly, updating the physical condition of the monitored subject at a rate of once per second.
After the glass cover was completely retracted, the boy lying on the soft silver-white metal hospital bed opened his eyes and sat up. When Troll and his group walked in, Mutt was looking around, as if looking around.
Troll walked over quickly, leaned over, and pressed his hands on the bed.
His appearance seemed to startle Mute, who sat on the bed and shrank back a bit, but when he saw Troll's face, his eyes suddenly lit up, showing a look of surprise, and then The eyeballs were fixed on Troll's face and did not move.
Mute's expression made Viaden feel something was wrong.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Uh… "
After being questioned, Mutt turned his eyes away from Troll's face, and glanced at Via and Robin in turn.
"I'm sorry, that, I..." He looked at the people in front of him with puzzled eyes, which were looking at strangers, "Where is this place? Who are you?"
The time in the snow-white medical room suddenly stopped, as if breathing stopped for a moment.
The young emperor's fingers on the side of the bed tightened suddenly, and the joints were clearly visible.
The bluish-haired brigadier general took a deep breath and took a step forward.
"What do you remember?" Via, who was the only one who could keep calm at the scene, asked.
"Well... Mom and Dad made me freeze it... That's right!"
The boy seemed to wake up.
"Is this a success? My illness is cured? I wake up?"
Having said that, Mute couldn't care about anything else, reached out and grabbed Troll who was closest to him, looked up at him nervously, and asked quickly.
"Please, please tell me, how many years has passed? Where are Mom and Dad? I—Mom—"
Because he was too excited, he seemed to be choking and coughed violently. Troll hugged the coughing Mute almost instinctively, and patted his back gently with one hand to help him breathe.
Mute, who was choking, was relieved and saw himself being hugged by a stranger. Although the stranger was very good-looking, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Lore's arms.
"… Thank you."
He whispered, "I'm fine."
Troll's hand paused slightly in the air, as if he wanted to grab something in the void, but he finally controlled it, clenched his fingers, and slowly retracted.
He lowered his eyes, the fine black hair scattered on his long and narrow phoenix eyes, shadows shrouded his eye sockets, he couldn't see his eyes clearly at the moment, only the cold thin lips were slightly tightened.
The room was very quiet, as if there was an invisible sense of oppression sinking down, making the atmosphere in the room even more depressing. Via stood there frowning, and he didn't know what to do in the current situation. Instead, Robin hurried forward, winked at the silent boss, and then squeezed in front of Mutt.
Mute looked at him curiously, examining the military uniform on his body.
Robin coughed lightly, and then, showing a smiling face to the ignorant boy like a big bad wolf abducting a little rabbit, began to fool the innocent boy who was like a blank sheet of paper at the moment—
Although your cryonics was successful, you have not been able to find a cure for your disease, so it has been a long, long time, and it is only now that you can be thawed.
Twenty thousand years have passed, human beings have left the earth to live in the universe, and your parents are long gone. Before they died, they entrusted you to our BOSS family... Well, now, our BOSS He is the head of that generation of the family, so you don't have to worry about your future life, he will take responsibility to take care of you, so don't be nervous, just rely on him more.
Robin babbled a lot at Mutt, but in fact the central idea was the above two paragraphs. The tone of his speech was very sincere, which made Mutt stunned for a while. Apart from the sad expression on hearing the news that his parents were gone long ago, the boy was in a daze from the beginning to the end, his mouth was open and he couldn't speak, he could only look at Robin stupidly and listen to what he said .
It wasn't until Robin finished speaking that he was dazed for a long while before he finally digested the meaning of what Robin said, and showed an unbelievable expression.
"You mean... twenty thousand years have passed?"
The boy seemed unable to imagine how long this time was.
"Not on the earth... here is... on a spaceship?" The huge impact made his mind go blank, and too much information made his brain freeze, and he was flustered for a while, and he stuttered.
"Then I, I... now... I..."
Just when Mutt was in panic, a hand reached out and stroked his head.
"Don't be afraid."
A deep voice sounded above his head, and the bewildered young man looked up and saw a pair of dark blue eyes as beautiful as stars in the universe.
Those eyes looked at him, although they were long and sharp phoenix eyes, but Mutt could feel that those eyes looking at him were as gentle as the hand stroking his head at the moment.
"I am here."
A few simple words, but inexplicably calmed down the young man's flustered heart.
This person's voice seemed to have a magical power, which made him want to trust and rely on him unconsciously.
"Um."
Mut hummed obediently, then looked up at Troll again.
He whispered, "Thanks...uh..."
He wanted to thank the other party, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know the man's name, so he could only ask in embarrassment: "Well, please, your name is..."
Troll pursed his lips, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, as if a little unhappy, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Troll."
He replied lightly.
"That's it, then... Thank you very much."
Mute raised his head, his dark eyes slightly curved into a crescent moon.
He gave a bright smile of gratitude to the particularly good-looking young man who had comforted him.
"Brother Troll."
click.
There seemed to be some cracking sound from the invisible.
Troll's hand still on Mutt's head froze in mid-air.
His breathing seemed to stop for a moment at this moment.
His whole body froze in place as if he had been petrified.
In the next second, the young emperor turned around abruptly, stepped out with his long legs, and his back disappeared outside the door.
There was silence in the room where the three people stayed, and after a while, the boy's voice broke the silence of the room.
"Excuse me..." He looked at Robin and Via nervously and said, "Did I say something wrong to make him angry?"
Seeing Troll suddenly leave without saying a word, Mute was very flustered. He thought it was his words that made the other party unhappy.
"Did I address you too casually? Should I be calling you Sir...or Your Excellency?"
Via: "..."
The ghost knows His Majesty's uncertain thoughts.
Robin: "No, no, no, you don't need to change your words. It has nothing to do with you. It's just a sudden incident. The BOSS is in a hurry to deal with it. You don't have to worry."
Mutt breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turned out to be like this. Fortunately, I thought it was impolite for me to call it that... Well, otherwise I would still..."
"No no no! Very good, just keep calling it like that, don't change it!"
"what?"
"Listen to what I said, it must not be changed, just call it that, understand? Oh, yes, and, you don't have to call it that to us."
"… Oh."
Mutt nodded ignorantly.
...
……………
Let Mute rest first, Robin and Via left the medical room one after the other.
As soon as he went out, Via asked Robin unceremoniously.
"Tell me, what's going on? What happened to the boss?"
"Tsk, you don't understand."
"Tell me."
Via stared at Robin expressionlessly.
"The sentiment that the BOSS and I only understand~~~ Even if I tell you, you, a stone virgin like you, don't understand."
The red-haired junior soldier clicked his tongue again, raised his hand and rubbed his nose, rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of some good idea. He cleared his throat and suddenly showed a smile that sent chills down Via's back.
The warning from the sixth sense made Via instinctively want to retreat, but it was too late—Robin blinked at Via ambiguously, and then shouted at Via with his throat squeezed.
"Brother Via~~~Brother~~~~"
Boom!
Via punched Robin fiercely and mercilessly at the moment when the last lingering sound of the word "brother" was still turning upwards.
Robin, who had been prepared for a long time, flashed by quickly, so that punch hit the wall heavily, smashing a dent in the metal wall.
Robin, who was almost disfigured, was speechless, and then fled away from Via, whose face was distorted and the corners of his mouth twitching, at lightning speed.
Ah, I don't know what's going on with the boss now, can you still handle it
While fleeing, the red-haired junior soldier muttered in his heart.
That little guy is really powerful, just the sentence just now, the lethality against the boss is almost comparable to a nuclear bomb—
Yes, that's it.
[Troll brother].
The author has something to say:
Um…
Think for a while.
If Mutt called Via brother, Via probably wouldn't run away like now...
