Chapter 315 Unforgettable Memories

"Zero Two?" Jing Chen walked up to Zero Two, gently stroking its large horns, and slowly closed his eyes. "Zero Two..."

Leaning her head slightly closer, Jing Chen whispered, "Ling Er, answer me, okay? As expected, without you, I can't do anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Chen's consciousness suddenly left his body. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a snowy field. The first thing he saw was a mistletoe covered in snow. This mistletoe was completely different from the one Jing Chen remembered. Although it was still the same tree, it was now covered in snow.

"The memory adjustment for codename Zero is complete, but there are parts of Zero Two's memory that cannot be rewritten. Some very strong force is stopping it." In the laboratory, Jing Chen and Zero Two each lay on a bed, each wearing a device on their head for an unknown purpose. A researcher held up a report and spoke to the doctor.

"Erase the memory, turn that into noise," the doctor said.

"However, continuous use would be overloaded," the researchers said.

"It doesn't matter," the doctor said.

"What if the code name is Zero?" the researcher asked.

"Let him go back to the incubation center. He's mixed-race and has lost his memory; he's no longer capable of anything. He's only good as a guinea pig," the doctor said.

Ling Er, lying on the bed, turned her head to look in Jing Chen's direction, her mouth opening and closing, seemingly saying something.

……

In that prison-like room, Zero Two clutched her hat tightly, her teeth clenched. She was desperately trying to recall something, but no matter how hard she tried, all she could get was a jumble of noise. Zero Two, unable to bear it any longer, slammed her head against the wall. Blue blood splattered on the floor. Looking at the blue blood, Zero Two seemed to remember something. She put her blood-stained fingers in her mouth and licked them. Suddenly, the jumble of thoughts in her mind began to form images!

Ling Er was shocked; the static suddenly transformed into images! Ling Er exposed the wound on her left knee, gently licking it. Sure enough, this time it showed Jing Chen licking her wound! She remembered, she remembered!

However, remembering these things only added to her suffering. The Doctor and his team had no intention of letting Zero-Two remember these things, and sure enough, the second round of brainwashing began soon after. This time, the brainwashing was completely overloaded; Zero-Two, the subject of the brainwashing, endured immense pain constantly. In order to remember those memories, Zero-Two repeatedly scratched herself with her fingernails, creating wound after wound. Back in her room, she would lick her wounds and try to recall them again.

"I don't want to forget. If I forget, I think I can never be human again."

While licking her wounds and reminiscing, Ling Er suddenly saw a picture book not far ahead. She opened it, copied down the page about the witch's murder, and ate it. Ling Er didn't want to believe it, she didn't want to admit it, she didn't want to admit that she couldn't be with Jing Chen.

While eating this page of the picture book, Ling Er reminisced about the little things she had shared with Jing Chen. The unpalatable taste of the paper made Ling Er want to vomit several times, but she still forced herself to endure the nausea and ate all the torn pages of the picture book one by one. Thinking back on the past, Ling Er also recalled the first words she had learned: the first was "I," the second was "Ling Er," and the third was... Thinking of this, Ling Er recalled what happened under the mistletoe that day.

"In that case, I'll be your Darling!"

Swallowing a page of the picture book, Ling Er recalled the day she was captured. Jing Chen was struck to the ground with the butt of a gun, while Ling Er struggled fiercely. During the struggle, Ling Er saw bright red blood flowing from Jing Chen's forehead. Ling Er was still calling out "Darling." Thinking of this, tears welled up in Ling Er's eyes.

The surrounding scenery all disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of white. Jing Chen stood in front of the young Ling Er, looking at the crying Ling Er. Suddenly, Jing Chen felt a sharp pain in a certain part of his body. He slowly squatted down and hugged the crying Ling Er.

Jing Chen hugged Ling Er, and the scene of their first meeting after he lost his memory flashed through his mind. Immediately afterward, Ling Er pulled the amnesiac Jing Chen into the Strelitzia plantation, saying, "From now on, you're my Darling!"

Thinking of all this, Jing Chen hugged Ling Er, stroking her hair while tightening his grip on her even more.

In reality, what Jing Chen was holding suddenly shattered, and Ling Er, who had been unconscious, suddenly raised her head, looking at Jing Chen with teary eyes. Jing Chen, too, silently shed two tears down her cheeks.

"Da...Darling," Zero Two choked out.

Jing Chen immediately hugged Ling Er. Ling Er was still a little stunned. "I've finally met you, Ling Er..."

Ling Er snapped out of her daze, turned her face to the side, and said in a panic, "No...don't look!"

Jing Chen gripped Ling Er's hand slightly tighter, and Ling Er asked through tears, "Aren't you afraid of me? I used you."

"It's okay. I was already prepared when I rescued you from that dark world," Jing Chen said.

"But, but I said Darling is animal feed!" Zero Two shouted.

Jing Chen shouted back, "I already said you're a monster! None of that matters anymore. If you want, I can be your fodder."

"That's right, I am a monster, so..."

Jing Chen interrupted Zero Two directly: "No, you're not a monster! Now that I'm back, anyone who dares to call you a monster, no matter who it is, I will kill them! This world is vast, I can take you anywhere. Besides this world, I can take you to many more places. Zero Two, we are one, you can't leave me... you can't..."

After saying that, Jing Chen kissed Ling Er directly. Ling Er was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, deeply moved, her eyes shining.

"Jingchen, are you done yet?" Mei shouted.

Suddenly, the three Klaxosaurs stood up straight, opened their mouths, and fired three energy cannons vertically toward the Strelitzia.

"Oops!"

The energy cannon struck the bird of paradise accurately, sending it soaring high into the sky. While still descending, the bird of paradise suddenly burst into light.

"Look!" Xin shouted.

"That light..." Ichigo looked at the light emitted by the bird of paradise in the sky with some surprise.

In the command center, Seventh Sister stared blankly at the screen and called out, "Doctor!" The Doctor, however, didn't seem particularly shocked, simply saying, "Did you do it?"

The bird of paradise in the air spun around, transforming from its beast form back into its human form.

Bird of paradise!
