Dragon Clan: I, Nono! Inherit countless futures!
Chapter 4 Inheriting the Power of Words
"My child, forget this painful experience. You are still my good child."
The man's voice was low and deep, yet it possessed an unusual allure. Chen Motong involuntarily lowered her guard and stared blankly into those eyes, which were as unfathomable as a deep pool.
"Tell me, what did that woman in your psychic vision look like, and what did she say to you?"
Chen Motong heard himself speak blankly, his voice hoarse and slow:
"She was tied to a bronze pillar, her white hair flying wildly. She opened her eyes to me, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from them..."
"She said something to me, but the wind was too strong, I couldn't hear her, I couldn't hear clearly. She kept talking, but I couldn't understand anything..."
"Think about it again. She said a lot to you, didn't she? Her mouth was moving; she was speaking. You saw the shape of her lips. What was she saying?"
Chen Motong's breathing suddenly became unusually heavy, as if a huge monster had taken up residence inside her body, and that monster was breathing, expanding and contracting, expanding and contracting...
For a moment, no one spoke. The sound of the wind in the wild grew clearer, and the leaves rustled, as if an unseen monster was approaching. You didn't know where it was, but you knew it could rush out at any moment and kill anyone who saw it in any unexpected way.
"She...she's begging me for help!"
Chen Motong trembled all over, his dark red eyes filled with palpable fear: "I couldn't hear what she was saying. She said a lot to me, but I couldn't understand her. However, I knew she was asking me for help!"
The Chen family patriarch's expression changed instantly. He wanted to ask more questions, but seeing the girl's swaying body and her pale, bloodless face, he had to give up the idea.
Perhaps his bloodline awakening wasn't complete enough, which is why his spiritual vision was rather blurry. He thought to himself and gave up the idea of pressing him for answers.
After all, the girl is only thirteen years old and has limited capacity to cope.
Moreover, they've already experimented with the fourth generation, and he's only just begun to get a glimpse of what he wants to know, which is enough to prove how precious the girl in front of him is.
Besides, if he couldn't get an answer by asking, there were many other ways to get it without asking, the man thought.
He simply didn't notice the fleeting hint of mockery in the girl's lowered eyes.
"My dear child, have you come here because you miss your mother?"
The man looked at the simple grave in front of him, a look of pity on his face: "She had a bad life, she never had a single good day."
"Do you want to make it up to her?"
Chen Motong lowered her head blankly, a suppressed pain in her eyes: "She's dead."
"So what if she's dead? Don't you want to bring her back to life?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Motong was taken aback: "Resurrected?"
"Yes, resurrection." The man nodded affirmatively.
"How is this possible? How can the dead come back to life?"
"Haven't you already seen the real world? We are hybrids, our abilities far surpass those of ordinary people. Resurrection is indeed difficult, but not impossible."
He paused, seemingly hesitant, but ultimately made up his mind. Looking at the pale girl before him, he lowered his voice and said:
"As far as I know, there is an incredibly powerful hybrid family that has developed a technology to bring the dead back to life. Do you want to resurrect your mother?"
His voice was full of temptation, like the devil tempting a lost person. Chen Motong's expression instantly became extremely conflicted. She seemed to be somewhat incredulous, yet unable to resist the urge.
Seeing this, the man spoke up at the opportune moment: "She loves you so much, and she searched for you for who knows how long, enduring countless hardships along the way. Don't you want to protect her?"
These words seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back, or perhaps the last hope for someone in dire straits. Her voice was low and hoarse, trembling uncontrollably:
"What can I do to bring her back to life?"
A knowing smile flashed in the man's eyes, but his voice remained unchanged, serious and earnest as he said, "That family is choosing a fiancée for their heir, and you are the perfect age."
"If you can become the heir's fiancée and successfully marry him, your mother can be resurrected."
"Mo Tong, do you know what to do?"
The girl fell silent for a long time, and the man didn't urge her, but simply reached out and patted her shoulder.
Before Chen Motong could speak, a pair of silver four-leaf clover earrings appeared in front of her. The man held the exquisite earrings and, unusually, showed a slight smile.
"A four-leaf clover brings good luck; this is your father's blessing to you."
Chen Motong reached out and took it. The man patted her shoulder again. The girl remained standing in front of the simple cemetery, her head bowed low, her dark red hair hanging down and obscuring her eyes, like an abandoned cat.
"Perfect timing. You must also be troubled by that woman in your spiritual vision. I'll send you to that family in the next few days. They will help you, and both your mother and that woman will be dealt with."
Chen Motong was stunned upon hearing this, and subconsciously asked, "What?"
"Mo Tong, your condition is very dangerous. In order to protect you, you must accept our help. I sent you there also to protect you."
"And you can also cultivate a relationship with their heirs earlier, so you can resurrect your mother."
The man spoke earnestly, patting Chen Motong's shoulder: "Think it over carefully."
After saying that, he turned and left.
As the man's footsteps faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard, the expression on Chen Motong's face slowly disappeared, leaving only a cold look.
She picked up the earrings with interest, muttering to herself, "Is this a threat?"
At this moment, she finally raised her head, revealing a pair of dark golden eyes.
Unlike men who believe that bowing one's head is due to sadness and frustration, the girl dared not look up simply because she dared not let others see the abnormality in her eyes.
From the fact that she had no memory of the torture at the beginning, to the later recovery of her memory, and considering that in the original work Nono always thought that the torture was just a dream...
Chen Motong easily deduced that the head of the Chen family must possess some kind of power of words that could alter memories.
She was already thinking about how to deal with it, afraid that if her memory was changed, she would forget what had happened. She was completely clueless and didn't know what to do until she inherited the previous Nuonuo's Word of Power.
It was an unrecorded Word of Power. Judging from the memories left by Nono, its serial number was 70, and its name was:
— Retrospection.
The power of words can be used to recreate anything that has happened at an anchor point in the past. In a sense, this is an enhanced version of profiling.
Therefore, Chen Motong couldn't help but wonder if this was Nuonuo's own Word of Power?
The original work seems to have mentioned that Nono possesses the power of words, but because it is too special, it was not recorded.
And her profiling abilities are so incredible that she can even see events that happened thousands of years ago in the Bronze City...
Rather than profiling, this is more like a replay, just like this Word of Power.
But whether it was an inherited or awakened Word of Power, this Word of Power did Chen Motong a great favor.
The Chen family patriarch erased and altered her memories, so she kept recalling the past by retracing the steps of this man. The man was completely unaware and thought he had everything under control.
The only problem now is that, because of the woman in the psychic vision, the man seems to want to send her for research.
This is undoubtedly very dangerous. She doesn't even know if she will be able to come back alive. After all, although she saw the woman, the woman didn't say anything at all. It was all a fabrication.
She couldn't withstand any investigation or research, let alone being someone's fiancée, which is truly disgusting.
Therefore, she absolutely cannot be sent to the Gattuso family.
"Marrying Caesar, that's interesting."
Chen Motong looked at the four-leaf clover earring in her hand, and a mocking smile slowly appeared on her lips: "I'm afraid Caesar doesn't have that kind of luck."
She casually tossed the clover, and the silver four-leaf clover shimmered in the air, but in an instant it fell into the soil and disappeared from sight.
The girl never looked back even once.
