death of hope

Chapter 851: "Wild Growth" (266) Memory Fragment: Frantz
The memories in the modified human's brain had been deleted many times, becoming incoherent and fragmented.

Jinguji Yuna's abundant psychic energy penetrated the alloy skull and entered the part of the brain responsible for memory;

The amygdala, hippocampus, and temporal lobe of the brain,

Finding traces of the past.

Soon, Yuna successfully read out another paragraph, which appeared in his mind.

Second memory;
The man in the mirror was tall and handsome;

He wore a gas mask integrated with his helmet, heavy exoskeleton armor, a huge tactical shield on his back, a belt full of grenades, and a large-caliber pump-action shotgun in his hand.

The person in the mirror said in a nervous tone, as if reading from a script;

"The Macmillan Group corporate warriors,
Alpha Special Tactics Squad,
Scorer,
Corporal Sigrdrifa,
Ready!

Waiting for the captain's inspection!"

·
"Hello~"

A cheerful female voice came from behind: "What are you doing, my lovely sister Xige~"

Turning around, I saw a short woman in a military green T-shirt, holding a coffee cup, sitting lazily on an ammunition box;

"Sister Wang, why are you here..."

"The ring fell in the ammunition depot. Come and get it. Look, it fell into the ammunition box. It is an heirloom of our Wang family. We can't lose it."

"I see... I'm glad you found it."

"Sister Xige, it's the middle of the night, and you're wearing a full set of gear, holding a gun, and posing in front of the mirror... are you trying to look cool?"

"Ah...actually...I...I was practicing...I wanted to impress the captain."

"what?!"

The short lady almost spit out her coffee. She put down her coffee cup and looked at him suspiciously.

"When did you make peace?

You hated that ugly guy so much that you had a fight with him the first time you met him."

"During the Shangri-La mission (Chapter 35 of Corporate Warriors), I was shocked by the captain's ability.
I was wondering how a human could have such brute strength like a monster. I suspected he was a cyborg or took drugs.
So I…took advantage of my days off to secretly follow the captain.”

"Wow~"

The short lady whistled. "Tell me the truth, Sig, are you attracted to the captain?"

"No! No... Sister Wang, don't make blind guesses..."

"How did you make peace with that?"

"I...sneak peeked at the captain's diary. His childhood was very painful and uncomfortable...it reminded me of my own childhood, and I felt a little bit of the same way (Chapter 61 of "Corporate Warriors")."

"That's right. The captain always has a sad face and I've never seen him smile. I guess he must have suffered some trauma when he was a child."

At this time, the sound of entering a password was heard, and someone else entered the armory. The two of them turned around together;
"Hey? Big Beard, what are you doing here?"

"The dormitory is too noisy. That Shaft guy turned up the volume too loud. I want to find a quiet place to pray."

As he spoke, the bearded man spread out a carpet, knelt down, held a religious book in his hands, and worshiped devoutly.

"Tsk tsk, come to the armory to pray, Mahmadi is becoming more and more abnormal." The short lady winked and whispered:
"Let's go back to the dormitory, Sister Xige, I'll help you braid your hair~"

·
The scene of the ammunition depot began to distort and collapse...

The psychic energy begins to read the next memory fragment.
The third memory;
At night, the room was dark.

The creaking of wooden furniture and heavy breathing could be heard;
"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

"I can't do it anymore... I'm old... I need to take a break..."

"How old are you? How come you're old already? Don't be lazy!"

"Huff... spare... spare me..."

"I said, husband..."

"Ok?"

"Can we do it again...like we did just now?"

"Uh... okay... but I need to take a break... I'm going to the balcony to smoke a cigarette..."

"I'll give you five minutes."

"Oh my god...you really treat me like a cow..."

"Hey, hey, hey, hurry up~" "What's that sound? It seems like there's a door..."

"Oh no, I forgot to lock the door!"

"Ouch! Hurry up...put it on..."

"You got the wrong one...that's mine!"

·
There was a flurry of rustling noises in the room.
"Bang!" Someone's head hit the furniture and he said "ouch!"
The lights were turned on, and the big man walked to the door barefoot, with dishevelled hair and his pajamas buttons all wrong, obviously put on in a hurry.
He picked up the peeking blond boy with his big hands and scolded him;
"Franz, it's the middle of the night, why are you still not asleep?!"

The boy's big, innocent eyes rolled around, and he bit his finger and said;
"Dad, Mom, they're fighting!"

The big guy covered his forehead with his hands, looking at himself in a state of confusion. A woman's hearty laughter could be heard from the room:
“Hahahaha! Fighting… I’m dying of laughter…”

The big guy turned around, his brows furrowed like a caterpillar: "You are a mother, and you can still laugh.

I forgot to lock the door, and I saw everything... How can I explain this to my child..."

"You're such a fool, just forget it, watch me.
Franz! Come to Mammy!"

·
She picked up the boy with her slender white hands and kissed him gently on the forehead;
"Little rascal, do you know how your sister Sarah came to be?"

The boy shook his head: "I don't know!"

"This kid! Where did you learn that accent?"

The big guy spread his hands and said, "I probably learned it from the gardener."

"You have to correct him. You can't change his accent once you get used to it."

The white palm gently stroked the boy's golden curly hair; "Franz, you know, the birth of your sister Sarah was an accident."

"Accident?!" The boy's eyes rolled around;

"Is it because... Mom and Dad are fighting?"

"Uh……"

This time it was the big guy's turn to cover his mouth and laugh.

"Fighting...yes...that's one of the reasons. Another reason is that you are naughty, Franz!"

"It's unfair! How can you blame me? I just watch cartoons every day!"

"Why not blame you? It was you who was naughty last time and popped all the 'balloons' in mom's drawer!"

"Oh!"

The boy's eyes widened, as if he had suddenly realized something:

"So sister Sarah came out of a balloon! I'm going to pop more balloons and play tricks on my two sisters! The four of us can get together at a table and play the Monopoly board game!"

"Hahahaha!" The big guy held his stomach and laughed so hard that he could hardly breathe while lying on the bed.

"Uh... go back to bed, Franz... you'll understand when you grow up."

The housewife sang a lullaby and carried the boy back upstairs to the children's room, where the baby girl was sleeping soundly in her cradle.

She blew a kiss to the swaddling clothes, placed the boy in the cradle with the word "Frantz" written on it, and kissed the boy's forehead:

"Sarah... Franz...

baby,

Mommy loves you~"

The scene in the baby's room began to spin and collapse, and I felt dizzy...

Yuna woke up. A long time had passed in the fragmented memory, but in reality only a few seconds had passed.

After connecting a series of clues, she seemed to have found the answer;
(The boy named Frantz...

The birthmark on his neck is exactly the same as his brother's...

So, the baby girl named Sara in the cradle next to her is...

When I was a kid...I...

That big man...

And the housewife...

dad……

Mother……)
