Chapter 325 Rosemontis
Chapter 325 Rosemontis
On a stormy night, the howling wind and roaring thunder outside the window woke up the sleeping kitten.
The kitten had just come out of the painful memory of his brothers' death in front of him, and the unfamiliar closed environment and bad weather conditions made him nervous again.
The kitten propped up his upper body and carefully observed the surrounding environment, and soon found something strange in his right hand.
The needle was fixed on the back of the hand with medical tape, and the discomfort of the cold nutrient solution injected into the blood vessels triggered the kitten's memory flashback, and the painful experience, accompanied by a headache, swept over again like a tide.
"...The cage that imprisons us must be destroyed, destroyed..."
"It hurts, why do you treat me like this..."
"Narcissa, tell us your wish and we will help you realize it..."
The spell fluctuations caused by the drastic mental changes attracted the attention of Roy who was playing video games. His room was next to the kitten's ward and he could open the door directly.
Thinking that the kitten might be having a nightmare, Roy took off his headphones, put down the controller, and stood up to check the situation.
As soon as he opened the door, Roy saw the kitten, who had been sleeping peacefully on the bed, had fallen to the ground, with a painful expression on his face, and curled up in a ball, trembling all over.
As if afraid of making any noise, the kitten bit the fabric of the sleeve tightly and made no sound.
Next to the kitten, the invisible hand just took shape, but was forcibly interrupted, over and over again. It seemed that several consciousnesses were fighting for control of the spell.
In order to ease the kitten's pain, Roy had to cast a spell again to suppress both the main and secondary consciousnesses, and the mental fluctuations returned to normal.
The spell's effects will last until tomorrow, and we'll see how things turn out then.
At the Rhine Life Experiment Base, the air became fresher after a thunderstorm.
The warm sunlight shines through the glass dome and shines on the water mist sprayed by the sprinkler robot, forming small rainbows.
The early-rising feathered beasts stood on the branches, using the dew to clean their feathers, and occasionally made a few calls to communicate with their companions that the weather was good. As the sun rose higher, the feathered beasts flapped their wings and left their nests to look for food.
Roy pushed the kitten in a wheelchair and strolled in the green ecological park. Narcissa was quite resistant to closed and solitary space, so except for eating and sleeping time, Roy would accompany her to walk outside to relax.
"What a beautiful flower! Can I get closer and smell it?" The two passed by a greenhouse made of large glass, where flowers of various colors grew.
Perhaps influenced by her botanist father since childhood, Narcissa likes flowers with fresh colors and fragrance.
There were many flowers in the greenhouse that she had never seen before, and she wanted to go in and take a look. So she turned around and looked at Roy and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, Narcissa. You can act natural and don't be so nervous. No one here will hurt you."
"But I attacked you that day, shouldn't you punish me?"
"Well... if you put it that way, you really deserve to be punished..." Roy stroked his chin as if he was thinking about something. The kitten, waiting for punishment, drooped its ears and curled its tail uneasily into its clothes.
"Okay, it's decided. I'll punish you by telling you to eat well from now on, recover your health as soon as possible, and grow taller..." Roy stretched out his big hand and pressed the kitten's head, ruffling the smooth hair that had just been combed.
"Eh?" When the big hand reached out, the kitten closed its eyes in fear, fearing that it would be a painful punishment, but what it got instead was a gentle caress.
After the big hand above his head was pulled away, his emerald green eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.
"That wasn't what Narcissa meant, was it?"
"I don't know... I can't remember... I was angry because my brothers died in front of me. I wanted to tear apart and crush the things that bound us and hurt us..."
"Have I become the monster in the story..." The kitten's young face was full of sadness and confusion.
"You need to find the answer to this question yourself. Once you have a ruler to distinguish good from evil in your heart, you will get the answer you want. Let's go and look at the flowers first..."
Roy used the ID card given by Muirseth to open the greenhouse door and pushed the wheelchair into the garden.
"It's so beautiful! There's never been a place like this in the laboratory. It's all monotonous white..." The kitten reached out and gently pulled a flower, then put his nose close to it and sniffed it.
"What a strange scent! Do you know what kind of flower this is? I don't understand the meaning of this word..." The kitten found an acrylic plate with a few lines of text engraved on it from the dense green leaves, pointed it to Roy and asked.
"Let me see, Rosemontis. Here is its flower language: Keep memories. Its fragrance has the effect of refreshing the mind and improving memory."
"If Narcissa likes it, you can take one back to your room and grow it."
Unexpectedly, the kitten chose rosemary from the garden at first sight. Fate is really a wonderful thing.
"Really? I'll take good care of it."
"Well, of course."
