Crowning the SSS Guide

Chapter 26 Mother
"Mother, please don't report me. I don't want to do this." A long time ago, the man who was still Erdan knelt on the ground, pulling the trouser legs of a woman who was about 40 years old, and begged in a sad voice.

A Class B Sentinel has a lifespan of four hundred years. His appearance a few decades ago is not much different from what it is now. Perhaps because he still has a bit of youthfulness on his face, he still looks quite handsome.

He crawled on his knees, with desire and panic in his eyes, tears in his eyes, and his face and torso were covered with green, like a piece of emerald green tree branch.

He held out his hand for his mother to touch the area where he had undergone changes.

The smooth skin under his palm was dry and rough, like the bark of the old tree beside the orphanage door. Aokiji couldn't help but take a step back.

The high pile of bowls and plates behind him tilted and fell to the ground with a clatter. Broken pieces of porcelain scratched Erdan's legs, and the broken pieces bounced up from the ground and rolled a long way away.

Aokiji shook her head hesitantly, her eyes flickering. She felt sorry for the child's experience, but she couldn't do this. She couldn't harm the guide.

If it weren't for the efforts of the guides and sentinels, humanity might have perished long ago. They couldn't do this...

Aokiji reached out his hand to Erdan, wanting to touch the child's head. "Erdan, I will work hard to earn money. A D-level reliever is only 50,000. We can get enough by pooling our money."

"Time? What I lack most is time." He roared suddenly. Aokiji shuddered, withdrew his hands and clasped them together, looking at the child with an extremely unfamiliar look.

Before differentiation, Erdan was a good boy who respected the elderly and the young. How come everything changed?

Erdan saw his mother's unfamiliar look. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Mom, do you know how fast D-level mutations can occur?"

"Can't you hold on for a year as long as you don't use your superpowers?" Aokiji was reluctant to leave her child after all. She pretended not to hear the child's roar and spoke based on what she had learned in the federal school.

Erdan looked at his mother who had always doted on him in disbelief. Why didn't his mother want him to live?
"You are just an ordinary person. What do you know? The Federation is just saying this to comfort people."

The more Erdan spoke, the calmer his voice became.

He found that his mother had white hair on her temples and more wrinkles on her face than before. Her once beautiful face had faded with the passing of time.

Her hands became rough, her knuckles thick, and she no longer had the strength to hold him up.

Yes, his mother is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is not ordinary.

We know very little about Xiang Shao, so what he says is what it is, right?

It is reasonable for a mother who loves her child to make some sacrifices, as he is the pillar of the family.

My mother is old and her decisions are no longer effective.

Thinking of this, Erdan stood up straight. As an adult man, he was tall enough to look down at his weak and thin mother.

Erdan felt a little pain in his heart, but it was not as obvious as his ambition.

He met a guide that is rarely seen in a century. Who says this is not his chance!

The differentiation period for ordinary people is mostly between the ages of fourteen and twenty, and very few will differentiate due to some stimulation.

The guide he met happened to be the son of a member of his team, who was traumatized by the loss of his father.

Only the two of them survived that battle.

The feeling of being guided by a guide could never be matched by any reliever, so he hid the skinny child who called him brother and told him that we are not out of the crisis yet.

The child is very sensible. He doesn't make any noise and just cooperates silently.

However, his whereabouts were found to be unusual by his mother, who followed him silently and discovered everything.

"Mother, look, my transformation has begun, and I'm going to die soon."

"You don't want your only child to die, do you?" He whispered, as if pleading and threatening.

The guide's awakening level was very low, and he couldn't even completely eliminate the pollution from the D-class sentinels. It didn't matter, it was his only treasure.

"And the guide is also willing to do it. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask." He said it calmly and confidently, which made Aokiji waver. Could it be that what the child said was true?
And that’s really the guide.

Her hands clasped the edge of the wooden table, and the running water wet her fingers.

In fact, she only saw a thin figure with his back facing her and a protruding back, and then he ran out without stopping.

Imprisoning a guide is a capital crime and the guide will be sent to the front line to face alien species until he dies in battle.

Her child wouldn't do that, and the guide probably agreed with that.

After all, she is my own child. I shouldn't lie to her. That must be the case.

Her dark eyes were dim, as if covered with a layer of gray gauze. Her clenched fingers loosened and the flowing water was like dripping blood, sliding through her fingers and splashing onto the dishes that were no longer shiny.

"As long as the guide is willing."

Aokiji's dark eyes trembled, and he was unable to move to the attic to ask, his heart filled with fear and terror.

After a long time, Aokiji didn't understand why her children gradually lost their awe of the guide and became so unfamiliar that she felt scared.

Why did the guide die soon after, and why did her child have such ugly eyes.

Why did so many children in the orphanage who were about to undergo differentiation disappear? Why had she heard the voices of the missing children in his manor? Why did those children in her dreams silently condemn her, looking at her with eyes full of anger, hatred and disbelief?

She closed her eyes, not daring to look, as if she was indulging her child for the first time, becoming a blind and deaf mother.

Only in the occasional moments of leisure would she think that perhaps she... had really done something wrong, and then she would work harder to not allow herself a moment of leisure.

The children in the orphanage might still need her...

She comforted herself.

……

"You have no evidence. Even a guide cannot arbitrarily treat a sentinel. Federal law clearly states that everyone, whether a guide, a sentinel, or an ordinary person, has human rights."

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”

Fu Guang and Wen Ya found it difficult to conceal their murderous intent when facing the sentinel who talked about legal justice but acted in complete opposition to it.

It's not that the evidence can't be found, it just takes time. Time is the most precious thing and must not be wasted on this scumbag.

Wen Ya stood up and stepped forward. When the guide entered the sentinel's mental image, he would read the sentinel's memory.

A bit disgusting, but quick enough.

Aokiji heard the noise and rolled her cloudy eyes. A little light appeared in them. Her face twitched and she spoke in a hoarse voice, "I have evidence of my guilt."

Erdan shouted "Mother" with bloodshot eyes, but Bai Gao dislocated his jaw and he could only make a whimpering sound.

Aokiji raised her face with many fine wrinkles and recalled that she had met the original guide.

The child's eyes sparkled, but he said cautiously, "I feel very warm around you. Can I call you mom?"

The young children gathered around her and called her "Grandma."

But she has never been a competent mother and grandmother.
