Chapter 360: The Truth

~11 min read 2,048 words

As soon as Charlie's Friend appeared, he launched an attack on everyone, and he himself entered everyone's sight...

"Charlie Cannon."

Charlie's Friend puffed out his stomach, a crack appeared on it, and then something resembling a snowball was sprayed out, smashing over in a parabolic arc.

"Careful."

Ye Nan grabbed Charlie with one hand and Melina Shilu with the other, leaping up to avoid the Charlie Cannon. While leaving, he didn't forget to kick the young boss away.

Boom!

The snowball smashed into the ground and immediately exploded. Strangely, there were no traces on the ground, nor was there any damage.

However, even so, Ye Nan wouldn't underestimate this so-called Charlie Cannon, because the table that the Charlie Cannon had just hit had already disappeared.

"What an eerie cannon," Ye Nan thought to himself.

"You actually dare to hit my daddy, you're looking for death." Melina Shilu roared, breaking free from Ye Nan's palm and rushing up. She was no saint; as the successor to the Xenomorph Queen, the new generation Xenomorph Queen, and also the most powerful reverse-breed Xenomorph, her temper had never been good.

Everyone present only saw Melina Shilu's figure flash, and then they saw her appear beside Charlie's Friend, kicking sideways with one foot.

"Such fast speed." The young boss, having just crawled up from the ground, saw this scene and was immediately astonished.

This kind of speed was only seen in movies, but in movies, it was fake, while here, it was real. For the first time, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity with this world he was so familiar with.

Melina Shilu kicked Charlie's Friend in the head and immediately felt a bone-chilling coldness pass from where she had kicked, almost freezing her corrosive blood.

"What kind of cold is this?" Melina Shilu didn't understand, nor did she know that she had long been immune to cold and heat. But now, the coldness passing from her foot could actually freeze her corrosive blood.

Ye Nan's gaze noticed that a circle of ice had already formed on Melina Shilu's foot, and his heart sank. He knew clearly that Melina Shilu was no match for Charlie's Friend.

This wasn't to say Melina Shilu was incompetent, nor that her power was too weak, but because of the special nature of Charlie's Friend. If he hadn't guessed wrong, Charlie's Friend should be some kind of special life form, likely a special life form similar to a soul.

Because from the beginning, only he and Charlie could see Charlie's Friend, which was enough to prove that Charlie's Friend was not a life form of the material world.

However, at this moment, he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Defeating Charlie's Friend was the right path.

"Psychic Field."

The psychic field, which had originally been weak and only for perception, immediately expanded, slamming fiercely into Charlie's Friend, knocking Charlie's Friend out of the teahouse.

"Daddy, am I very useless?" Watching her father knock Charlie's Friend flying with one blow, she was happy at first, then became dejected.

"How could my Melina Shilu be useless?" Ye Nan walked over, picked up Melina Shilu, and gently stroked her head, comforting her: "You're just not good at this kind of attack."

It was like using a cannon to hit a mosquito—if you couldn't hit it, could you say the cannon was bad or the mosquito was very powerful? No, it could only be said that the cannon wasn't suitable for hitting mosquitoes. Similarly, Melina Shilu not being able to beat Charlie's Friend didn't mean Melina Shilu was weak, and of course, it didn't mean Charlie's Friend was strong.

"Dash."

A mechanical double voice came over. Charlie's Friend spread his arms like a flying little year, rushing over fiercely. Everything blocking the way was smashed to pieces by Charlie's Friend.

"Psychic Field."

Ye Nan expanded his psychic field again. This time, the psychic field was much stronger than before, even vaguely distorting the air and sight. If you looked at Ye Nan from outside, you would find Ye Nan's figure exceptionally blurry.

Charlie's Friend slammed into the psychic field, his figure immediately stalling. The momentum that had been like a hot knife through butter also paused. However, he still stubbornly headed toward Ye Nan, as if he wouldn't stop until he crashed through Ye Nan.

But Ye Nan wasn't someone to be trifled with. Taking advantage of Charlie's Friend slamming into the psychic field, he immediately rushed up and punched Charlie's Friend.

Upon contact, Ye Nan felt a bone-chilling cold, and a layer of ice gradually emerged on his fist.

"Daddy, be careful, this ice is very eerie." Melina Shilu shouted anxiously. She had just suffered from this ice, and now seeing Ye Nan suffer the same, she immediately warned him.

"Don't worry, I won't." Ye Nan's heart stirred, and his psychic power swept over his fist, driving away all the icy energy.

This icy energy looked like cold, but in reality, it wasn't cold, but a kind of spiritual power, only this spiritual power interfered with reality, using cold as its manifestation. Now that Ye Nan's psychic power swept over, this power was immediately cleared away.

"Blizzard."

The double mechanical voice, neither male nor female, swept over, and a blizzard immediately began to fall in the warm teahouse. Wind blew from behind Charlie's Friend, blowing Ye Nan away.

"Energy Burst."

Ye Nan braved the blizzard, rushed onto Charlie's Friend, spread his hands, and slammed them fiercely onto Charlie's Friend. A flame-like energy transferred to Charlie's Friend, immediately corroding his body.

"Don't hit anymore, don't hit anymore."

Charlie, who had been silent and sad, suddenly rushed up like he had gone mad, rushing between the two, tears flowing down his cheeks without him knowing.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. It was me who killed Mom and Dad. If I hadn't resented my mom and dad, my friend wouldn't have killed my mom and dad to help me."

Ye Nan stopped his hand, listening to Charlie's weeping, and Charlie's Friend also stopped his hand. The blizzard gradually subsided.

Charlie wept, gradually telling the truth of the matter. It turned out that Charlie's parents hated Charlie and abused him, making Charlie full of resentment toward his parents. Later, after Charlie went to a place, he came back, and following him was a toy-like Charlie's Friend. At the time, Charlie's Friend didn't have a name; the name "Charlie's Friend" was given by him to his friend.

And after Charlie returned, Charlie was abused by his parents again. At the time, Charlie said the harsh words, "I want to kill you," and this sentence was heard by Charlie's Friend. Charlie's Friend appeared and killed Charlie's parents.

But in reality, Charlie at the time was just angry for a moment; he didn't want to kill his parents at all. It was imaginable how self-blaming he was when he realized what had happened. Afterward, he ran out alone and then died.

But unfortunately, death wasn't the end. Charlie's soul was resurrected by his friend, and then he stayed in the alley, playing with Charlie. Fortunately, he forgot the memory of Charlie's Friend killing his parents. He thought his parents were missing. He, of course, didn't know that his neighbors had all been scared away by him.

But now, all of this had been revealed.

"When you were with your friend, did you feel very cold?" Ye Nan asked.

"Yes, Charlie's Friend was always very cold, cold like an ice cube," Charlie replied...

"Sure enough, it's like this." Hearing this, Ye Nan's heart stirred. In reality, Charlie was killed by Charlie's Friend, because Charlie's Friend's body unconsciously emitted a cold energy. This cold energy invaded Charlie and killed Charlie. This could be seen from the fact that when Ye Nan touched Charlie's Friend, it froze.

As for why Charlie died after such a long time, it was likely because Charlie's Friend intentionally controlled his cold energy. But even if he controlled his cold energy, the cold energy still leaked out involuntarily, freezing Charlie to death.

If Charlie had been an adult, he might have noticed the abnormality. Unfortunately, Charlie was just a little boy. He didn't know why he was so cold, nor did he suspect his friend. Thus, he froze to death without knowing it. It was likely because of this that Charlie's Friend treated Charlie as his true friend, always guarding him and playing with him.

In this matter, who was right and who was wrong couldn't be clearly stated. Was Charlie wrong? He wasn't wrong. He was abused by his parents and uttered words about killing them. This was just a child's momentary anger; he never thought about killing his parents.

And was Charlie's Friend wrong? Charlie's Friend wasn't wrong either. His cold energy wasn't something he could control, and he killed Charlie's parents because Charlie said he wanted to kill his parents.

Perhaps in this matter, the ones who were wrong should be Charlie's parents. But in reality, Charlie's parents were wrong, but their crimes didn't warrant death.

In other words, everyone in this had faults, but everyone's faults weren't big. If you want to blame someone, blame Heaven for arranging for them to meet.

"Fine, the truth has come to light. None of you are wrong. I just hope you don't keep the past in your hearts. You should face the future properly," Ye Nan said. "Also, I have a question. Charlie's Friend, where did you come from?"

"Charlie's Friend came from an interdimensional space and was summoned by someone," Charlie said, crawling beside his friend and listening to a few words.

"What." Ye Nan was shocked. "Interdimensional space, summoned by someone? What is going on? Tell me, tell me everything."

Interdimensional space—it wasn't the first time he had heard this term. One must know that interdimensional space refers to a space that is not in the same dimension. That is to say, it is not in the world visible to the naked eye, but in a parallel universe.

Interdimensional space comes from Japanese. In the Japanese explanation, the universe humans live in is a three-dimensional universe, while the real universe may not just be three-dimensional; it may have four, five, or even more dimensions of space.

At the time, with the help of Orochi's power, he jumped to another dimension, but he was only in a corner of the interdimensional space. That corner was a void of darkness. He had never thought that creatures could live in interdimensional space, and the life forms living there were messy, strange-looking life forms.

However, he was even more interested in the person who summoned Charlie's Friend, because this summoning already involved changes in space and the capture of interdimensional life forms. This was something even Orochi hadn't done; after all, Orochi only stayed in the interdimensional space for a short time.

"Charlie's Friend, tell me, who is the person who summoned you?" Ye Nan asked excitedly. He couldn't wait to see what the person who could summon interdimensional space looked like. He once again discovered that this Federation Earth wasn't simple.

Charlie crawled on his friend, listened for a while, and said: "Charlie's Friend says he doesn't know who summoned him either. He only knows he appeared there inexplicably, and there were many life forms from interdimensional space like him there. Those life forms told him: the person who summoned them has already disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Hearing this, Ye Nan was immediately disappointed. He himself didn't know what he was disappointed about; he only knew that not being able to see the person who summoned them was a regret.

"Yes, disappeared. In fact, what summoned Charlie's Friend was a magic circle. It is said that this magic circle has lasted for thousands of years," Charlie said.

"Disappeared is fine, disappeared is fine." Ye Nan murmured. He knew very well in his heart that the great existence capable of summoning interdimensional life forms must be very powerful and very dangerous. Perhaps disappearing was the best result, so as not to put himself in danger.

"Then tell me, what is the location where you were summoned? I'll go and see the so-called interdimensional life forms."
