Chapter 1039: Inherited

"Inherited" and twisted "love"

This was a diary that dissected the heart.

Melina recorded in detail how she received the commission from the Scholarly Chair Society and went to the Grand Tribunal with Grinde to deal with the traitorous scholar Serius.

In the Katou Court, the capital of the neighboring country, she was selected into the Iron Law Knights due to her outstanding performance and was personally arranged by Kein Laoer to be by the side of the little Galiusha, becoming Galiusha's personal bodyguard.

From then on, she began to contact the little Galiusha.

At that time, Galiusha could only be considered a precocious little girl. She had a pair of sharp eyes and could vaguely see the purposes behind the various behaviors of adults, but her speculation on the logic of interaction between people appeared very immature.

She often asked Melina for advice, and as a believer of 【Truth】, no matter how much Melina concealed, her will always carried shadows completely different from 【Order】. Coupled with her loyalty and piety to the Scholarly Chair Society, she felt that if she could let a descendant of an 【Order】 authority figure approach 【Truth】, perhaps in the future, the contradiction between the Grand Tribunal and the Tower of Rationality would be reduced to a level where they could coexist harmoniously.

Thus, she began her road of "education."

And it was also the enlightenment of the little Galiusha that gave her the opportunity to follow Galiusha to find Serius and see the dawn of completing the mission.

But the interior of the Grand Tribunal wasn't calm either. Just like the Great Scholars intrigued for experimental resources and used all means to step into the Scholarly Chair Society, there was also a faction within the Grand Tribunal investigating the connection between Kein Laoer and 【Truth】.

Melina was ambushed several times because she was too close to Galiusha, and she escaped death every time.

The most serious time, she almost lost all consciousness, but when she woke up and saw the little Galiusha taking care of her by the bed in person, Melina fell.

Of course, the fall here doesn't represent any taboo emotions. She completely treated the little Galiusha as her own student, and the only student, because at that time she was still far from being able to recruit students and stand on her own.

From then on, her attitude toward the little Galiusha changed. She wanted to take the other away from the quagmire of 【Order】 and become a true believer of 【Truth】, but she also knew that such things couldn't be rushed, so she put even more effort into transforming this descendant of the authority figure, transforming the other's cognition and ideas about everything.

Galiusha really changed. She began to look at this world with the eyes of 【Truth】.

But it's shameful to say, this wasn't Melina's credit, but Serius who put in the effort.

Serius's idea was easy to guess. Building a relationship with a descendant of an authority figure could clearly make his situation in Montelani better, but this behavior made Melina fall into entanglement.

Her mission was to kill Serius, but she didn't want to make the little Galiusha sad. Even a crazy thought rose in her heart: that if it just kept going like this, it would be very good. As long as Serius didn't die for a day, she could stay in the Grand Tribunal forever, taking care of her student until she grew up.

However, personal slacking off was useless. Grinde was a person who dreamed of making contributions. He planned one attack plan after another and finally launched the plan during a death-match performance, killing Serius.

From that time on, Melina knew that she no longer had the opportunity to accompany Galiusha, because she had to return to that place where 【Truth】 flowed.

But she still wanted to say goodbye to Galiusha, and even thought of a reason for her disappearance, a reason sufficient to comfort herself and the other.

But before this reason could be spoken, Galiusha died, died under her distraction and negligence.

This unacceptable reality completely broke Melina's heart defense. She hated herself and hated the Grand Tribunal, and even began to hate the Tower of Rationality. She didn't know why she had so much hatred in her heart; she only knew that her student, the perfect student she had watched grow up for so many years, just... was gone.

So she burned down Serius's laboratory with one fire and returned to Tusnat from then on.

Because of the excellent performance of Melina and Grinde, their status in the academic department began to rise, and they became the backbone of their respective departments and received more and more experimental projects and teaching tasks.

However, no matter how many students Melina brought, she could never find a student as intelligent and perfect as Galiusha again.

Her obsession made her record her longing in a notebook every day, which later slowly evolved into daily meditation and recollection. As she grew older, her obsession accumulated more and more, and she became dissatisfied with vain thoughts, so she decided to secretly initiate some taboo experiments to engrave Galiusha's traces of existence into her own genes.

In this way, Galiusha wouldn't be considered dead.

The content behind the diary was mostly trivial matters, but it could be seen that Melina's paranoia had exceeded the boundary of normal emotions, twisted into a pain that she couldn't let go of and wasn't willing to let go of.

And this kind of "twisted pain" became more solid with genetic inheritance, until it reached Pelaya's generation...

Little Pelaya was a rare genius in the family. She showed proud wisdom and amazing 【Truth】 talent from a young age. Everyone in the family said she was the most perfect successor to Great Scholar Melina, comparable to that 【Truth】 star named Galiusha.

The attraction of bloodline and the crowd's praise made Pelaya more and more interested in Galiusha. She felt that perhaps it was her great-grandmother's obsession that engraved that person's shadow in the generation-to-generation inheritance of genes, so she grew into Galiusha's "appearance."

She appreciated that "Galiusha" who was like herself more and more, and even began to confide in her.

Whenever an experiment didn't go smoothly or she was exhausted by laboratory politics, she would sit in front of the mirror and complain to "another self," confiding all her pressure to the reflection in the mirror just like Melina recorded in her diary.

For many years, she had treated the "Galiusha" in the mirror as her spiritual sustenance, feeling that only she could understand herself and accompany herself to move forward silently on this lonely road of 【Truth】.

Up to this point, everything was still "normal," but marked fate always likes to joke with people, until one day, when she complained to "Galiusha" again because of the failure of a crucial experiment, the real Galiusha climbed in from outside the window.

She had been listening for a long time. After coming in, she didn't say a word of nonsense, just pulled over a screen, and under Pelaya's stunned gaze, began to write and draw on it.

She explained the reason for the experiment's failure to Pelaya, analyzed the steps of process optimization, and even gave some incredible suggestions, saying that if she did so, the experiment would likely succeed.

Pelaya was stunned. She looked at this familiar yet strange female scholar in front of her and asked who she was.

A beautiful smile bloomed on Galiusha's face, and she said her name.

"Galiusha."

At that moment, no one could understand the sense of redemption in Pelaya's heart, and it was also at that moment that the 【Truth】 in Pelaya's heart was concretized in the world. ===== CHAPTER 1040 =====
