Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 689 He Has Always Been Free

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

Xiao Zuo and Xiao You rushed forward, but this time, Lin Tiandong raised his hand to stop the two from getting closer.

"I said, this is a fight to the death... a one-on-one fight to the death." Lin Tiandong said weakly.

Su Yue showed a surprised expression. It was obvious that Lin Tiandong knew the effect of her supernatural powers, but no one should know about her supernatural powers except a few experts in the Analysis Department and the people in the Third Department!
Lin Tiandong stood up and walked step by step towards the sealed box that contained the bait.

Su Yue's spirit, which had just relaxed, immediately tensed up again. She quickly moved closer and hung the boy on Lin Tiandong's neck.

Lin Tiandong stopped and Su Yue looked guilty. No one spoke in the silence.

She knew that the person in the sealed box should have originally belonged to Lin Tiandong, and Lin Tiandong could have exchanged the hostages beforehand and then started the fight.

But the other party directly released her parents without asking for his mother at all.

Some decisions seemed to have been made by the other party before they met.

But even if Lin Tiandong didn't eat his mother, her strength was already so strong. If Lin Tiandong ate the bait, she would probably find it difficult to defeat him.

"Are you so unconfident about your speed?" Lin Tiandong smiled weakly, and there was actually a hint of happiness in him.

Su Yue was startled when she heard this, and silently put the boy down.

But this was not because she was absolutely confident in the speed of her sword, but because she remembered what Lin Tiandong asked him - is he Lin Tiandong, or a nameplate collector?
Suddenly, she understood him.

"Thank you." Lin Tiandong limped, and blood leaking from the huge wound on his abdomen flowed down his thigh to his calf, flowing like a dried-up stream along the road he walked, and finally extended to the side of the bait box.

He dropped to his knees in front of the bait box and grasped the cold metal handle with his bloody hands.

"Click!"

The box was opened, and when the gap appeared, Su Yue also heard a faint and vague call coming from inside - "Son... Mom... I love you..."

Su Yue got goose bumps on her arms. She couldn't describe her feelings at the moment. She couldn't even tell whether the faint moan just now was the habit of the bucket of fish bait as an abnormal body, or... the emotion of being a mother.

I'm afraid only Lin Tiandong knows the answer.

No, it should be said that this answer only makes sense to him.

Su Yue gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, her muscles tensed to the extreme. As long as Lin Tiandong made any rash move, she would immediately draw her knife and chop off his head.

Lin Tiandong looked at the bait in the box with his eyes wide open. His desperate, collapsed, tired and weak eyes lit up the moment he saw what was in the box.

Su Yue held her breath and her mind entered a state of extremely high pressure. She almost felt that Lin Tiandong would bury his head in the box and eat voraciously in the next second.

Lin Tiandong's face, which looked as haggard as a corpse, became brighter to a degree visible to the naked eye.

His face was still as pale and bloodless, but the slight relaxation of his facial features and corners of his mouth made his expression and overall complexion come alive, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness or been resurrected from the dead!
Even though many years had passed, Su Yue still couldn't understand this scene when she recalled it, because she had never encountered the same thing happening to anyone else.

So she didn't know what happened to Lin Tiandong that day. Was it a flash of life? Or was it the fulfillment of his wish?
Can't tell...

Lin Tiandong's expression was like that of a person trapped in a cave for a long time who saw the light of the exit when he ran out of water and food, or a drowning person who grabbed a life-saving straw in his last moments of confusion.

At this moment, it seemed as if even the deathly aura lingering around him had been dispelled.

The mouth-watering aroma wafted from the twisted and squirming flesh that was no longer in human form. The same voice that the mother had heard when she was alive came from the sound-making piece of meat that was temporarily made from the fragments of meat.

The bait repeated what it had just said. Lin Tiandong stared at it in a daze, and then suddenly let out a relieved laugh.

"Huh, what is that..."

Two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes. His body trembled and he said in a trembling voice: "Mom... I miss you so much." He thought of countless possible endings for himself. He thought that he would not be able to control his instinctive desires and turn into a mother-eating monster.

I also thought that at the last moment, I might be able to suppress that crazy animal nature with my conscience as a human being.

But he never expected that when this moment came, he would feel nothing.

When the hard shell of longing cracked, what flowed out was grievance. He wanted to go back to his childhood when all this had not happened yet. If so, he would definitely listen to his mother.

...If I had known this would happen, we should have met earlier.

Click!

Lin Tiandong used both hands to close the box again.

"Captain Lin..." Su Yue called out with a frown.

"Please tell my brother that it's really hard for him to have a naughty brother like me." Lin Tiandong raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a relaxed smile that he had never shown since he was called a nameplate collector.

"correct……"

Lin Tiandong wanted to say something else when he suddenly had a very happy premonition in his heart. When this premonition appeared in his heart, he suddenly heard his father and mother calling from behind.

He blinked his bright eyes, turned around and saw his father and mother.

And my brother!

They all look the same as they did back then.

He looked at his hands, which had returned to their childlike state.

It’s so beautiful…

……

Su Yue looked at Lin Tiandong, who was kneeling beside the bait box and had lost his voice, with her brows furrowed.

[Thirty-three Thousand Bloods] is over, and the scene before us is the result of this life-and-death battle.

In the end, she didn't give an answer, but Lin Tiandong found the answer for himself.

In the very end, Lin Tiandong was smiling.

Frankly speaking, it is really hard to imagine that such a cold person can have such an innocent and childish smile on his face. He is just like a child who has lived under the protection of his parents' wings all his life and has never suffered any pain.

Xiao Zuo and Xiao You slowly came over, wiping their tears and sobbing softly.

They did not participate in the war from beginning to end.

Su Yue had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't have the energy to ask them now. She wasn't that cruel yet.

"Let's go back." Su Yue said to Xiao Zuo and Xiao You.

When saying this, Su Yue was ready to meet the other party's hateful and disgusted gaze, but when they looked up at her, there was no hatred in their eyes.

Xiao Zuo bent down: "Xiao You!"

Xiao You lifted up Lin Tiandong's body and put it on Xiao Zuo's back with difficulty. The two looked at Su Yue and asked with a sad look of expectation:
"Captain, are you finally free?"

Su Yue looked at Lin Tiandong who was leaning on Xiao Zuo's shoulder and smiling, thought for a long time, and said: "I think... he has always been free."
