You don't even want to call me godfather

"The content of Originium particles is normal, and there is no mineral disease."

After confirming that Koshe did not have mineralogy, they connected a needle to Koshe's arm and connected the infusion tube at the other end of the instrument to the godfather's arm.

The blood transfusion was carried out in an orderly manner. After confirming that there was no problem with the blood transfusion, the godfather asked the doctor and nurse to leave the ward.

"Come here, child, come here."

The Godfather's free hand patted the side of the bed where Koshe sat down in a chair.

"Godfather... I have asked Red to issue a wanted order for Lappland and have all wolf hunters track down Lappland. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Lappland to you."

Koshe had never seen such a weak and feeble godfather before. He was a little at a loss for what to do and could only speak as if he was reading a report.

"Let's not talk about this today." The Godfather stared at the ceiling for a while, then his gaze returned to Koshei. "Stay with me for a while, kid."

I don’t know if it’s Koshe’s illusion, but the Godfather now looks so lonely and desolate.

Just like a helpless old man.

Chapter 24: Looking up makes you feel inferior, looking down makes you feel satisfied

Koshe was dreaming.

He dreamed of the flaming monster again.

He couldn't remember how many times this had happened, but the scenes in his dreams became blurry after he woke up.

Only this time, Koshei was in a spooky forest.

As far as the eye can see, every hundred meters or so, there will be a towering stone pillar standing there, crisscrossing with the forest.

He kept walking through the woods, passing one stone pillar after another. He didn't know how long he had been walking or how many stone pillars he had passed, but it seemed as if there were no boundaries here. No matter how long he walked, the scene around him was the same.

Trees and stone pillars make up this area.

Koshe stopped beside a stone pillar. He looked up along the pillar. The top of the pillar passed through the clouds and gradually became blurred until it could no longer be seen with the naked eye.

Each of these stone pillars is several meters thick and has some cracks on them, but that does not affect their standing there at all.

Suddenly, Koshe discovered that the area ahead was slightly different.

He ran towards there and saw several broken stone pillars. The broken cuts on the pillars were arc-shaped, and the upward parts were nowhere to be found.

He stopped there and looked around.

This was the first time that his consciousness in the dream was so clear, and because of this, the disgust he felt physically and mentally also became clear.

"who!"

A chill came from behind Koshei. He turned around quickly and tried to take out his pistol, but found nothing. He had no weapon on him.

Several bubble-like spherical objects attacked him at such a fast speed that he had no time to dodge.

"Roar--"

Just as the bubble was about to touch Koshei, a huge force grabbed the back of his collar and threw him aside.

"Uh!"

Koshe's body hit the stone pillar. The pain, which was so real that it was too real, seemed particularly abrupt in this dream, and also made him feel a little scared.

He shook his head which had hit the stone pillar and looked back to where he had just been.

I saw a ball of purple-black smoke blocking in front of him, stopping the bubbles and swallowing them. The bubbles disappeared in the smoke in an instant.

"This is……"

Before Koshei had time to think, more bubbles appeared around him. They gathered together and became bigger and bigger, until they became a twisted creature made entirely of bubbles.

Inside those bubbles, there were things similar to the starry sky, emitting light. They seemed to have self-awareness and wanted to bypass the smoke and rush towards Koshe.

But the smoke also allowed itself to spread out. In just a few seconds, the purple-black smoke was everywhere as far as the eye could see. It surrounded Koshei to block the invasion of bubbles.

Koshe was surrounded by smoke and could only barely see a little bit of the shadow outside through the smoke.

He could still see the shadows of the stone pillars, but he also saw something strange.

"Roar--"

It was a huge wolf-shaped monster, exactly the same as the monster he had seen in previous dreams.

He could see the shadow of the wolf and the shadow of the bubbles. They kept attacking each other. The wolf would burst the bubbles, and the bubbles would hurt the wolf and make it howl.

As time went on, the wolf even tended to be at a disadvantage.

Although he didn't know what happened, Koshei subconsciously cheered for the wolf in his heart.

"Roar--!!"

As if sensing the gaze and expectations from Koshei, the wolf turned around, looked in its direction, and then let out a long howl towards the sky.

The wolf shook its body, and its body became even larger, completely blocking the already scarce light. Then, it opened its mouth and spit out purple-black flames towards the bubbles.

The flames destroyed most of the bubbles in one fell swoop, but it was of no use, the bubbles continued to gather and regroup, and the wolf's flames ignited the forest.

The flames spread quickly, just as fast as the smoke. Before Koshei could fully react, the flames had already climbed up the stone pillar and onto his arm.

It was a piercing pain. Koshei had been burned by fire before, but this purple-black flame could damage his body while corroding his spirit.

This feeling almost made him lose his mind.

"elder brother!"

Suddenly, a shout pulled Koshei out of his dream.

"Hahaha……"

Koshei suddenly opened his eyes, fell off the chair and knelt on the ground. He was sweating coldly and looked at his arm that was not connected to the blood transfusion. Unexpectedly, a large burn scar appeared there out of nowhere.

What on earth is this?

"Brother!" Destiny helped Koshe up from the ground, her face full of worry and concern, "How do you feel now?"

"What happened to me?"

Koshe was breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead and wetting his collar.

"Just now, my brother's body suddenly caught fire, but he didn't move at all. After I called you, the fire went out." Destiny hurriedly checked Koshe's arm, but after seeing the scar on it, he was stunned for a moment, "Why, it has already formed a scar?"

"Ugh……"

Just then, the Godfather suddenly sighed.

Only then did Koshe and Destiny realize that the Godfather was right next to them.

"Godfather, are you okay? Is this something that has implicated you?"

Koshei quickly stood up and wanted to check the blood transfusion tube, but his legs went weak and he almost knelt down again.

He grabbed the edge of the bed to support his body. His head was dizzy and his vision was a little blurry. The weakness after the blood transfusion had begun to show.

Koshe shook his head. The pain from bumping into the stone pillar in his dream still remained a little bit. He sat down on the chair again with some difficulty.

"Alas... After all, it's all caused by us, the older generation..."

Looking at Koshe's appearance, the Godfather sighed again and said with emotion.

"Godfather, what are you talking about?"

Koshei rubbed his forehead and asked uncomfortably. He even felt a little nauseous now and didn't dare to say more.

"Before this, he had never known what kind of amorphous black creatures would lurk, leap, and struggle in this sea of ​​ether. These creatures would stay in this terrible space and glare maliciously at the sailors who might pass by, grinning at them, and sometimes even touch and feel the moving objects that aroused their curiosity with their slimy claws. These things are the indescribable young of the foreign gods. They are as blind and stupid as the foreign gods, and they also have unusual hunger and desire," the godfather stared at the burn scar on Koshe's arm and muttered to himself, "It seems that you have already contacted Him, Koshe, you have seen Him."

"What is He, Godfather?"

Koshe's mind once again recalled the wolf and bubbles in the stone pillar forest. This was the first time that the memory left by a dream was so profound.

"When you return to my original house, Koshei," the Godfather straightened his head and looked at the ceiling, and said, "you will find a book that will not be destroyed by the explosion. If you find it, you will know everything."

"...Yes, Godfather, I understand."

Although Koshe felt confused, he still agreed.

"I feel much better now, Destiny, let the doctor remove the blood transfusion tube."

"Nurse!"

Destiny obeyed and left the ward to find the nurse who was working the day shift at the hospital.

"Godfather..." Looking at the Godfather lying on the bed, Koshe asked his question, "Do you know a wolf that emits black and purple smoke? It can also spit out flames."

“Wolf,” the godfather smiled, but then coughed a few times before saying, “He is not a wolf, but you can also regard Him as a wolf. You can dislike Him, but you cannot disrespect Him.”

"Godfather, I don't understand. What you said today is so strange. It's not like you."

"No matter which step you reach in life, there are people looking up at you from below and people looking down at you from above. If you look up, you will feel inferior, and if you look down, you will feel complacent. Only when you look straight ahead can you see your true self," the Godfather turned around with difficulty, stretched out the hand without the blood transfusion tube, gently rubbed Koshe's hair, and said, "You have always worked hard, but the reason for working hard must not be because you want to be looked up to by others. If you do this, the focus of your life will be on their eyes, not on your true self."

"Yes, I understand, Godfather."

The Godfather had not been with Koshe like this for a long time, and he had not touched his head like a son for several years. This feeling made Koshe feel familiar and strange, but he did not hate it.

"We often do things we don't want to do, Koshe," the godfather took his hand back and lay down again, "Wolf... well... I didn't expect that the sins we committed in this generation would be repaid by the next generation. He has found you, and you can't escape. But as long as you have a strong enough will, you can talk to Him. He is not a monster that cannot be communicated with. Besides, He has chosen you."

"Dad, the nurse is here!"

Koshe wanted to ask something else, but Destiny had already entered the ward with several nurses, so he had to shut up.

Only after the Godfather's physical examination was clear and the blood transfusion tube was removed did the nurses push the equipment out of the ward.

"You must remember what I said today. No matter how incredible the things you encounter in the future, you must remember to raise your head to be humble and lower your head to be content." The Godfather closed his eyes and said sleepily, "Go find the book. The party members should have found it under the mansion after the explosion."

"Why are you so sure?"

"This is inevitable. We cannot escape His entanglement and bondage, but perhaps, one day we will be able to bind Him in return. It all depends on you, Koshei. Go, find the book... No, the book will find you."

"Yes, Godfather...I understand."

Chapter 25: Msisha

At the Godfather's request, Koshe returned to the mansion that had been bombed before, and Destiny stayed in the hospital to take care of the Godfather.

The rescue work never stopped. While searching for the victims, the party members were also sorting out the Godfather's belongings.

The center of the explosion was very close to the study. Many books containing legends and classics were destroyed in the explosion, but a few books survived.

And there was a book that was very strange. After a party member found this book, he hurriedly put it into his pocket as if he was possessed, and then sat aside under the pretext of resting, waiting for something.

Finally, he met Koshei who came to look for books.

"Godson!"

He stood up hastily and ran towards Koshei.

"Hmm?" Koshei was not uncommon to see such enthusiastic party members, so he just asked, "Have you sorted out the Godfather's belongings?"

"No, that's not important." The disrespectful words of the party member made Koshe frown, but the thing that the party member took out from his pocket immediately made his eyes light up, "Here, godson, this is for you."

The gang member quickly stuffed the book into Koshei's arms. As soon as the book left his hand, the gang member woke up. He looked at Koshei in confusion, "Eh? When did the godson..."

"It's okay, I'll just come and take a look," Koshei patted the party member on the shoulder and said, "Continue with the rescue work, don't be idle."

"Yes, godson."

Although still somewhat puzzled by Koshe's sudden appearance before his eyes, the gangster still obediently rejoined the rescue team.

In this way, we should be able to know what "He" is, as the Church Fathers said.

"Cascade Godson," a voice called out to Koshei as he was about to go back, "please stay."

Koshe paused, he looked in the direction of the voice and saw several unpleasant figures.

"Mr. Prime Minister," Koshei said, although he felt disgusted, he still had to be polite on the surface, "What are you doing here this time?"

"I heard that Ulysses was attacked by criminals, so I put aside all my affairs and came here to inquire about your father's health." The Prime Minister had a faint smile on his face, but it made people feel uncomfortable. "Also, Koshe, child, I told you a long time ago that you don't have to call me that. I have always maintained a good relationship with your father, and I also took you out to play when you were young. Come, call Uncle William."

"…The Godfather is fine now. You will be able to see him again soon." Koshei just wanted to leave quickly. He didn't want to see William's face, so he said, "I'm really sorry to make you worry, Mr. Patrick."

"It seems that during this time when we haven't seen each other, your father has taught you a lot of communication skills." William's smile became even more intense. He opened his arms and made a hugging gesture to Koshei. "It's been a long time since we last met. Don't you want to hug your uncle?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Koshe walked around William, ignoring his hug, leaving William standing there awkwardly with his arms outstretched.
