Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 80 Resolving the Heart Knot
"No, Yue Kui!" Bai Yuetian tried to dissuade him.

“You have a deep misunderstanding about him. Your mother’s death cannot be entirely blamed on him.”

Bai Yuekui frowned.

She looked at Bai Yuetian with a suspicious gaze: "Did that person brainwash you while installing your prosthetic body?"

Bai Yuetian sighed softly.

He understood how deep Bai Yuekui's misunderstanding of Bai Jingyu was.

Back then, their mother was kidnapped by bad guys, and Bai Jingyu, the mayor of Jiuchuan City, did nothing but watch helplessly as their mother was killed by the bad guys.

From that moment on, Bai Yuekui harbored a deep hatred for Bai Jingyu.

He was young and naive at the time, and ran away from home with Bai Yuekui. Later, he gradually realized his father's predicament.

But it was too late.

“When my mother had her accident, he was also very sad. During that time, he ignored our feelings, which eventually led to us running away from home.”

"Of course it's his fault."

Bai Yuetian changed the subject: "But we don't actually know the whole story. Our understanding of that matter comes from snippets of online reports."

"Is this part of brainwashing?" Bai Yuekui asked dismissively.

Bai Yuetian shook his head: "Professor Horn also knows some things."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuekui was stunned.

After leaving Bai Jingyu, she went to live with her mother's mentor, Professor Horn, and grew up under his care.

Professor Horn was practically her father.

"Go on," Bai Yuekui said, his brows furrowed. "I will verify this with the professor."

Bai Yuetian nodded.

The next second, he made a surprising statement.

"The murderer who killed my mother was actually a patient whom my mother saved through a brain transplant."

Bai Yuekui's eyes widened.

"What did you say!" She looked at Bai Yuetian in disbelief.

Bai Yuetian didn't keep anyone in suspense. He began to tell the story: "Many years ago, a man was in a car accident and was on the verge of death. His father carried him to his mother and begged her to save his life with a brain transplant."

Bai Yuetian's tone became heavy.

"My mother wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist the father's repeated pleas."

"Finally, she transplanted that person's brain into the body of a police officer who died in the line of duty. The surgery was successful, and the person was reborn in the police officer's body."

Bai Yuekui asked impatiently, "Isn't this great?"

Bai Yuetian shook his head.

He continued, "The first six months were indeed very good, but one night six months later, the man became delirious, forgot who he was, and shot his father dead, mistaking him for a home invasion robber."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuekui froze.

"When that person realized what had happened, he went crazy."

Bai Yuetian's tone grew increasingly heavy: "He kidnapped my mother and then demanded that my father hand over all the neuroscientists in Jiuchuan City, exchanging the lives of 97 neuroscientists for my mother's life."

"Not only that, he also planted a bomb on his mother that was connected to his own heartbeat, so that the police could not shoot him to rescue his mother."

Bai Yuekui was dumbfounded.

The things Bai Yuetian was telling her were things she didn't know.

She was young at the time and only knew that the robbers made demands, but she didn't know what those demands were, let alone that there was more to the story.

Her heart began to race.

"Yue Kui, please put yourself in his shoes. If you were the father at that time, what would you have done?" Bai Yuetian asked solemnly.

He had seen Bai Yuekui's pained expression of deep regret.

He did not want the Moon Goddess of this world to repeat the same mistakes and suffer the bitterness of regret throughout her long life.

This knot should be untied now! Bai Yuekui clenched his fists.

What can I do?
What would I do?
She remained silent for a long time, unable to speak.

"My father has only been in office for a short time. He is just a puppet mayor of the Coastal Alliance, not a dictator emperor!"

He said in a deep voice, "Even if Father is determined to exchange Mother for 97 neuroscientists, who should he send to capture those 97 neuroscientists? Do you think these scientists would willingly go to their deaths?"

"And these scientists include Professor Horn. Do you think Professor Horn deserves to die?"

Bai Yuekui's shoulders trembled.

She suddenly received important information she hadn't had before, and Bai Yuetian's thoughts began to run wild, causing her mental defenses to crumble little by little.

Bai Yuetian struck while the iron was hot.

"Think about it again. Why did the criminal only want the neuroscientist, not anyone else? Did he simply want to kill someone?"

"You must have figured it out, right?" Bai Yuetian coaxed gently.

He stared at Bai Yuekui's face.

A few seconds later, Bai Yuekui murmured, "He wants to destroy the scientists who are driving the development of brain science, to destroy brain science itself."

Neuroscience is a special discipline cultivated and pioneered by a very small number of geniuses. The collective fall of top scientists is enough to severely damage this discipline, and may even cause it to decline.

Bai Yuetian let out a long sigh.

"Mom is also a neuroscientist, and she was the one who performed his brain transplant. Do you think Dad will really let Mom go after entrusting him with the work of 97 neuroscientists?"

The answer is obvious.

The direct cause of that criminal family tragedy was their mother's brain transplant surgery years ago.

The brain scientist that criminal hated most was their mother.

Even if those 97 neuroscientists are handed over, their mothers will not be spared.

"Enough! Stop talking!"

Bai Yuekui suddenly stood up.

At this moment, her heart was beating so fast that it made her feel physically uncomfortable.

She turned around and ran out of the house, tears streaming down her face.

Bai Yuetian watched her leave.

The future will prove that Yue Kui is not only intelligent, but also very responsible.

Knowing this information and verifying it with Professor Horn, she will surely be able to resolve the knot in her heart from back then and eventually reconcile with her father.

"ASH, Yue Kui's emotions are unstable. Please protect her," Bai Yuetian said softly.

ASH's voice echoed in his mind: "Mayor Bai is very grateful for what you just said. I thank you on his behalf."

“It’s what I should do,” Bai Yuetian replied.

With a weary expression, he said, "Having experienced the turmoil of the apocalypse, I finally understand what is truly important."

Thank God, he was given a chance to fulfill his dream.

“It carries extra weight coming from you,” Ash said softly.

Bai Yuetian smiled gently.

He stood up and picked up his coat from the back of the chair.

When can I go back?

He said slowly, "I am the head of Dragon Bone Village. I can be away from the village for a few days, but if I can't go back for a while, things in the village will get out of control."

The burden on his shoulders is by no means light.

After returning, he not only had to deal with village affairs, but also persuade Yue Kui to relocate the village.

Before the disaster, there were plenty of good cards to play. As for the mess left by the apocalypse, let whoever wants to clean it up do so!
"I feel like I've forgotten something."

"Oh, right, Gray!"
