Chapter 522: Bonus Support Added
["Abnormally Sincere Emotions"] Special Achievement: Ordinary, normal people generally cannot obtain this achievement. What appears to be abnormally sincere emotion actually contains layers of manipulation; because of an extremely flexible way of thinking and a morality that hops left and right, the host can, in any situation, seamlessly stage various strange outpourings of true feeling without being discovered. Congratulations, you have permanently gained: All attributes +3, Intelligence +1, Morality -1, Sir Aiwen's base Affinity +10.
Then Lynn turned his head.
His nose prickled.
He broke down.
That kind of sincere, trembling emotion, those reddened eyes, would move anyone to tears upon seeing them.
"Sir Aiwen…"
Sir Aiwen looked at him gently, extended his hand toward him, and smiled softly:
"Do you still want to call me by my full name? Or do you not want someone like me to be your incompetent brother in the Dark World? Hmm?"
The moment those words came out, Lynn finally could no longer control himself.
He suddenly fell apart, rushed over in the wheelchair to that ephemeral young man, and like a child, hugged Sir Aiwen and began to cry loudly.It was like a lost child finally finding a home, like discovering the warmth of family in the pitch-black hell of the Dark World.
Only he knew.
His crying contained fragile, overwhelming emotion he could no longer hold back.
"Brother!!"
That choked, ripping-out-the-heart address seemed to express everything he had suffered in the past two years in the Dark World.
What a heartbreaking child this was!
Even Sir Aiwen was moved by that single address, faint light glimmering in his smiling eyes.
[Ping! Sir Aiwen's Affinity for you +10]
[Ping! Sir Aiwen's Familial Bond with you +1]
[Ping! Sir Aiwen's Familial Bond with you +2]
With the System notices constantly chiming in his ears, Lynn cried even louder!
Sir Aiwen patting the back of the brother he had just acknowledged, his eyes full of warmth and moisture, felt the tenderness. He had previously studied the emotions between different races, so he could immediately see Lynn's vulnerability at this moment.
What a hard life this child had had.
They fall into the Dark World only after they have become strong enough, yet this child had been dragged into that hellish calamity while still an ordinary person.
No one could imagine how much suffering he had endured to reach this point.
Years away from home.
Even the strongest heart would likely be shattered into a thousand wounds by now.
"Let it out. Crying will make you feel a little better."
He closed his eyes, gently wiped away a tear at the corner of Lynn's eye, and embraced his little brother's back, doing his best to comfort him.
"Though I am not a flesh-and-blood being, I will be a competent brother. From now on, consider me your family, Lynn."
Wah—
Lynn cried even louder.
[Ping! Sir Aiwen's Familial Bond with you +1]
Zuo Zuo's entire body hair exploded into goosebumps; it waved its hands frantically, trying to block out that awful crying, but to no avail.
Because…
Because she knew…
Stupid Brain that guy…
He didn't have a brother at all!!
No way.
Yes, she had heard him say before that he was the only brat in his family, spoiled rotten since childhood, and not only was he an only child, even back on Earth he was also an only child!
So…
Where did this so-called brother come from?
The moment he spoke so sincerely about his brother earlier, she had sensed something off, and now it was conclusive!
Brother is fake; clinging to someone powerful is the truth!
But how could he act out "true emotion" so convincingly?!
And is this even moral?!
He's completely lost his bottom line!!
Don't listen! Zuo Zuo, don't listen! This is so embarrassing! So mortifying!!
Zuo Zuo felt like she would split apart from shame.
…
Finally.
After more than ten minutes.
Lynn, eyes inflamed and swollen from crying, asked Sir Aiwen about Miss Puppet's room, and only then reluctantly departed, glancing back every few steps.
Clatter—
The door closed softly.
Tear-blurred, Lynn paused for three seconds, then his expression immediately relaxed. He breathed deeply a few times, pulled a handkerchief out of System Space, and wiped his reddened eyes.
Then…
He smiled brightly.
[Happiness +1]
[Bonus Support +1]
"That's outrageous!! Stupid Brain, you are really too much!!"
Finally unable to hold back, Zuo Zuo slammed a hand up and grabbed his cheek, tugging his face wildly.
"How can your face be so thick! So shameless! Sir Aiwen is such a big warm guy and you tricked him, no morals! No morals!!"
Seeing this, Lynn quickly clamped Zuo Zuo's mouth shut, baring his teeth as he pulled her off his face.
"Lower your voice! How did I trick him? You're slandering me out of thin air. I was really very sad when I cried."
Zuo Zuo shouted, "But you literally don't have—"
Lynn was quick; he jammed his fist into Zuo Zuo's mouth, successfully silencing her. Zuo Zuo could only glare at him angrily and make muffled accusations.
Lynn adjusted his Monocle and, wise with closed eyes, said:
"Although I don't have a biological older brother, I never said I didn't have cousins, older cousins, sworn brothers, and so on! I truly thought of family, so I couldn't help but show my feelings and weep."
Zuo Zuo glared and cried, "Liar!! Big liar!!"
Smooch~~
Lynn pulled his hand out of her mouth, glanced around, and said:
"Don't shout it out again. Got it? Next time it won't be my fist shoved in, but something harder. Understand?"
Zuo Zuo glared back and said, "Liar!!"
Lynn: "…"
…
So as they rolled down the corridor, Night Doctors passing by saw a young man riding a wheelchair, furiously performing left-right ambidextrous maneuvers, speeding and drifting down the hall, forcing passersby to step aside to avoid him.
