Chapter 306: Are You Sure It’s Okay to Let Him Hold You Like That?
Even though he knew this was a parallel world.
Even though he knew this was Earth.
Even though he knew this wasn't his true hometown.
He still couldn't help but think about it.
Mom, are you doing okay...
Lynn has already been missing for two years, he went to hell, he's still struggling to survive, he's constantly thinking about crawling back out.
He just still wanted to ask.
Have you grown old? Have you lost weight? Is your health okay? Have your wrinkles increased? Do you...
still remember your son?
Lynn lay on the chair, looking up, gazing at the moonlight outside the window, his eyes filled with longing.Blood Doll sat there in a daze, holding the doll in her arms, watching the trace of warmth that had unknowingly begun to flow down his face.
"Are you thinking about your mommy too?"
Lynn smiled and sat up, wiping away the traces on his face, saying:
"Grown-ups don't think about such things, do they? Do you think I'm a little brat like you?"
As he spoke.
Lynn once again focused intently on sitting in front of the computer, his pupils reflecting the face on the computer screen. His fingers wanted to press the keys several times to switch away, but he always couldn't bring himself to press them.
So that's it...
Blood Doll looked up, staring blankly at Lynn's back, her eyes reflecting his figure.
Are the doctor and the doll the same...
Lost their home, left their mommy, wandering alone in that dark world, struggling to stay strong.
Longing in their hearts, yet out of reach.
Blood Doll lowered her head, hugging the doll in her arms, her little feet pressed together, feeling moved inside.
Then.
She dragged a stool over to Lynn, stood on tiptoe to sit on it, then reached out and hugged his shoulders, closed her eyes, rested her head on his shoulder, and gently patted his back with her small hand.
Lynn, with a head full of question marks, said: "What are you doing?"
Blood Doll, with her eyes closed, patted his back and said: "Don't be sad, the doll hasn't had a mommy for a long time either, but if you try hard to look, the doll believes you'll definitely find her, so be good, and you must become strong too, okay?"
Lynn: "..."
Blood Doll, with her eyes closed, said: "The doll won't hate the doctor brother anymore either, because the doll and the doctor brother are both children without mommies, so the doll can understand that feeling of longing, it really makes you feel very uncomfortable."
Lynn: "..."
Blood Doll, with her eyes closed and teary-eyed, stroked his back and said:
"So if you really want to cry, just cry it out, because keeping it all bottled up inside is also very uncomfortable. When the doll used to miss her mommy, she would hug the doll and cry, treating it like her mommy, so if big brother doesn't mind, you can also hug the doll and cry for a while, treating the doll like your mommy, the doll doesn't mind."
"..."
Lynn's eyes twitched shut, the veins on his temples throbbing wildly, and a "╬" symbol popped up on his head with a *pop pop pop* sound.
He reached out.
Grabbed Blood Doll by the back of her neck like picking up a cat.
Lifted her up.
"Huh?" Blood Doll was confused, dangling in the air by her neck, swinging her limbs left and right.
Lynn closed his eyes, the "╬" symbol appearing as he said: "Although you seem to be comforting me, you keep emphasizing the 'no mommy' thing, it feels like there's something implied in your words!"
"..."
A brief silence.
Blood Doll slowly became teary-eyed, then swung her limbs and burst out crying loudly.
"But the doll really doesn't have a mommy anymore ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅!! Waaah waaah woo woo!!"
Seeing this.
Lynn immediately understood that he might have misunderstood this little girl.
That's right, Blood Doll had always been a child without a mommy. Her empathetic desire to comfort him was definitely her seeing her own situation reflected in his, so how could he slander such a kind-hearted, good little girl?
Lynn's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Lynn then placed her on his lap, put his arm around her shoulders, gently patted her back, his eyes slightly red as he said:
"Sorry, my thoughts were too dark, I made you remember sad things. If you're feeling bad, just hug me and cry hard for a while. It's okay to hug brother and cry, treating him like your own dad, brother won't mind."
The doll cried loudly while hugging his chest, saying: "It's the doll's fault, saying strange things, but if doctor brother is sad, you can also hug the doll and cry for a while, treating the doll like your own mommy, the doll doesn't mind either, woo woo."
The two girls tremblingly huddled by the door stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded as they watched the two hellish beings hugging and crying in front of the chair.
For a moment, they were so stunned they couldn't utter a single word.
The doll (ó﹏ò｡) hugged its head, curled up in the corner, not even daring to look.
Although it's said that when masters duel, every move is fatal.
And you are even more skilled in the art of language.
But doll, aren't you overlooking a key point.
You're not the same as him, you're a little girl, sitting on his lap crying while only wearing a dress, aren't you afraid he'll take the chance to seriously violate and grope you?!
You can't win against him!
...
A long time later.
Sitting on the chair, Lynn rapidly tapped on the keyboard, his gaze steady, quickly entering another person's name into the Household Registration Database.
"Lynn."
This was the most important thing he needed to check this time.
Since this was a parallel Earth, since his mother truly existed in this world.
Then what about himself?
Did there still exist a young man in this world who looked exactly like him, accompanying his father and mother by their side?
He quickly entered his own name into the Household Registration Database, simultaneously linking it to his parents' household registration information for a search.
As the dense data reflected in his eyes.
The computer screen fully displayed the entire household information about his father and mother.
But he immediately noticed.
There was no information associated with the name "Lynn" among it.
And even when searching for the name "Lynn" nationwide, he couldn't find any information related to himself.
Lynn frowned.
"Could it be that in this world, mom and dad didn't give birth to me? That shouldn't be the case!"
Because the father was still that father, the mother was still that mother.
Their ages matched up, could it be that after all these years, they were still infertile?
Or, did they abort me before I was even born?!
Lynn felt a sudden pang of unease.
No.
Lynn frowned, tapping on the desk as he pondered.
First, assuming he existed, and aside from going to hell, all other experiences were the same, then the version of himself in this world should have also played that game for a few years.
If that was the case...
Lynn's expression calmed down, his two hands and two tentacles clattering wildly as they typed on the keyboard.
"Just as I thought!"
Lynn looked at the mosaic-like image slowly appearing in the Household Registration Database, his breathing becoming hurried.
That's right, just like himself, the Lynn of this world had also, in his chuunibyou phase, encrypted his information in the Household Registration Database.
According to his thinking back then, it was:
[Someone as awesome as me, if others could easily investigate me, then could I still be called Lynn?!]
Lynn smiled as he looked at that mosaic image.
And knowing this, he could finally rest assured.
In this world.
There indeed existed a person just like him, a Lynn just like him, and this version of him didn't go to hell, but lived a normal life, normally accompanying mom and dad by their side.
"Maybe, I should go take a look."
Lynn looked up, a flickering light dancing in his eyes.
No need to make contact.
Just take a look from afar.
Even though I know they're not really my parents, and I have no real connection to that family.
But at least, let me take a look.
A smile appeared on Lynn's face. He put on his top hat and grabbed Blood Doll's wrist.
"Let's go! There's no need for us to stay here any longer."
Blood Doll was startled, saying: "Huh?"
But before she could finish speaking, Lynn grabbed her hand, his body moving like a phantom as he instantly appeared beside the two girls sent to serve him at the door. As he passed by them, Lynn's voice, with a slight upward curve of his lips, sounded in their ears.
"Thanks for your hard work. Tell them I've left. If you encounter anything you can't solve, you can pray to me anytime."
"By the way, you two are very beautiful."
Lynn kissed the cheeks of those two girls.
The two girls only felt a gust of wind blow past their ears, and Lynn and Blood Doll's figures instantly disappeared into the wall.
"Ah!!"
The two girls immediately let out a shameful scream.
