Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 297 Bonova and Russell

But after carefully checking his own condition, Bonova was sure that he was still awake, and the old father a few steps away was obviously not the result of an illusion.

But how is this possible?
Bonova was a little confused. He looked at Russell, his blue eyes reflecting his figure. For some reason, Bonova suddenly felt a little happy.

After several seconds, Bonois stepped forward again, walking to a place only a few steps away from Russell. He looked at him calmly and said, "Father, are you resurrected?"

"Bonova..." Russell looked at his youngest son's doll-like calm expression, and his heart suddenly ached. He then twitched the corner of his mouth, opened his arms generously, and made a gesture for a hug, saying, "It's been so long since we last met. Do you miss Dad? Do you want a hug?"

"I'm not a child anymore, and it hasn't been long, only one hundred and sixty-three years, four months and five days." Bonois neither shook his head nor nodded, but just looked at Russell calmly and said.

Russell's expression froze. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's why I hate steam..."

Hearing Russell's words, Bonois frowned and said, "Father, Lord..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear you say anything nice to that guy, it will only make me angrier!" Russell interrupted Bonova as if he had finally lost his patience. Then he rushed towards Bonova in two steps and hugged him tightly.

Bonois obviously didn't expect Russell to do this. He was stunned for a moment, but did not break free from the hug. This added a rare warmth to the long-lost reunion of father and son.

Rowling on the side was watching this scene thoughtfully. He raised his hand to push the gold-rimmed glasses on his face and made a diagnosis of Bonois in his heart.

To be honest, after experiencing the existence of the Archon of Death, Adam, Amon and others in succession, Rollin now has sufficient experience in how to treat the "divine puppet", so he can judge that Bonois's condition is closer to the former Archon of Death.

Bonova's humanity did not completely disappear like Adam's, nor was he born with only a special humanity like Amon. Bonova's humanity was more suppressed by his divinity, and coupled with the serious influence of the god of steam and machinery, he behaved like a hollow puppet.

Generally speaking, the easiest way to treat this condition is to kill the God of Steam and Machinery, and then increase the human anchor in a reasonable way. With these two approaches, it won't take long for Bonova to be reborn like Azik.

But the God of Steam and Machinery is different from the scumbag Death after all. At present, his crime is not punishable by death, and Rowling still needs the God of Steam and Machinery to promote technological development, so Plan A can only be passed.

But it doesn't matter. Apart from killing the God of Steam and Machinery, there are more gentle solutions - such as directly talking to the God of Steam and Machinery, threatening him with his fists as big as sandbags, and making him choose not to affect Bonova anymore.

Although this cannot directly eliminate all the influences, with more effort, it is only a matter of time before Bonois can get rid of the influence of the God of Steam and Machinery and regain his humanity.

While various plans were flashing through Rowling's mind, Amon next to him raised his hand and pushed the monocle on his face.

A Sequence 2 was naturally nothing to Amon, but the other party's appearance as a "divine doll" had to make Amon more interested. After all, he had been studying the topic of how to gain humanity recently. From this perspective, Bonois was undoubtedly a good research subject.

Although the two onlookers had a lot of thoughts in their mind, the father and son who were hugging each other did not think about anything at this moment. They were simply enjoying this warm moment of reunion after a long separation.

Then, when he felt that the time was almost up, Russell let go of Bonova, took a step back, looked at Bonova with a complicated expression and said, "It's been so long since we last met, don't you have anything to say to me?" Bonova's expression remained calm, and his blue eyes looked at Russell with a hint of confusion, as if he didn't understand why Russell asked this.

After thinking for a moment, Bonois said, "I thought there was nothing left to say to each other, father."

It’s hard to say what Russell was feeling at that moment. He just wanted to laugh, not because he was happy, but purely because he was angry.

"I'm speechless! I'm speechless! Should I be thankful that you still remember the idiom I taught you?" Russell was clearly so angry that he was about to rant. "Then why did you forget I taught you to always love your family?"

Facing Russell's almost accusatory words, Bonois seemed to pause for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I don't have that kind of feeling. I thought you knew about this a long time ago, father."

Roselle: ...

Russell felt like he needed some oxygen. He looked at Bonois and didn't even know what to say for a moment. He felt extremely absurd.

"Come, take a quick-acting heart pill and take a deep breath." At this time, Rowling stuffed something into Russell's hand.

Russell looked down and saw that it was actually a fast-acting heart pill. He looked at Luo Lin in disbelief and asked, "How could you have such a thing?"

"It's custom-made, after all..." Rowling glanced at Russell and said with a smile, "It's better to be prepared!"

"You've made very thorough preparations." Russell didn't know what to say, but he had to admit that after this interruption, his mood had indeed calmed down a lot. This made Russell look at Bonois, who had a calm expression. He then covered his chest with one hand and used the other hand to quickly and neatly put the pill to his mouth and choked it down.

——Roselle was really worried that he would get a heart attack.

Although he wasn't sure whether this drug would be effective for him, a Sequence 0, it could at least have a psychological effect.

Russell then took a deep breath, tilted his head to look at Luo Lin, and said seriously, "Boss, although you said before that the problem of Bonois had to be solved by us close relatives, but you also saw that I really... can't do anything about this kid. If I could solve this problem, I would have solved it more than 100 years ago."

As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. Russell believed that he was far less professional than Lucifer in how to restore the humanity of the "divine puppet".

After all, this is a professional who can even give humanity to a being like Adam.

Hearing this, Luo Lin glanced at Russell, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, after all, I'm a conscientious boss!"

Russell immediately clapped his hands and said, "Boss, you're awesome! I want to work for you forever!"
