1094 Murderous Intent 2 (1/2)

Near Blackboard Region was another similar graveyard. A group of people dressed in luxurious black clothes was standing in front of a few burial grounds.

Regardless if they were men or women, the entire group were dressed in clothes that were fully black. A few women in the group wore black gauze hats to indicate that they were mourning. Clearly, there had been deaths in their families.

One of the women who had golden curly hair also had beautiful features that even the black gauze hat could not hide. She also had a seductive and curvaceous figure that would occasionally cause her surrounding subordinates to secretly cast their gazes at her.

Garen stood in front of the graveyard and allowed his Willpower to seep underground instantly. He could immediately detect that there were three badly rotted corpses buried deep underground. Two of them were a middle-aged man and woman respectively, while the last skeleton belonged to a young girl.

As his Willpower wrapped them, three thin strands of hair that belonged to each of these people slowly bore through the soil. The hairs were still undamaged and did not seem to have any signs of decay.

After crouching down, Garen reached his hand out and grabbed the three strands of hair. At the same time, he plucked a strand of his own hair and passed it to the two laboratory staff in black clothes behind him.

Various expensive testing equipment had already been set up on the ground behind him. A few specialized individuals used gloves to separate the hairs into four different containers. Next, they began the delicate gene examination procedure.

Within ten short minutes, the results of the test were released.

”Mistress, My Lord,” said the laboratory staff quietly. ”From the results of the genetic correspondence degree, the three corpses that were buried here really belonged to your late relatives. There's no doubt about it.”

”Are you sure?”

It seemed as if the air had suddenly become much colder.

The laboratory staff felt slight indescribable chills in his heart. However, since he was completely unable to decipher them clearly, he merely nodded his head firmly.

”I'm very sure. Any laboratory organization would presumably give you these results easily. There are no uncertainties at all.”

The chilly winds grew colder.

Garen's expression became colder. Although he was not emotionally attached to the birth parents of this physical body, he had previously promised Nonosiva that he would take care of them. However, he was unable to do it now.

He waved his hand. ”All of you can leave first.”

Inari nodded and quietly left with the other laboratory staff. It was obvious that Garen was in an extremely gloomy mood.

Garen took a white, palm-sized computer-like thing. This was Scarlet Snow Sect's most advanced communication device.

He dialed a number that he had memorized from constant practice before quickly turning off the location and video functions here.

A little while later, he received a response from the other side quickly.

”Is it Garen? Why is your side pitch black? I can't see anything,” Celine's voice echoed from the video. She still resembled her previous self with her short green hair and her temperament that hinted of indifference from the way the corner of her mouth was raised slightly. She was dressed in some kind of service-type clothing that was fully white and looked abnormally British-styled.

”My place has been sealed suddenly and the signal here isn't so good,” Garen answered simply. ”How have you been lately? Still good?”

”Still alright. My strength has increased now. However, I still feel that it isn't so smooth in certain places. Do you still have any of the ores that you gave me previously? The dark red metal ores,” Celine had always been this straightforward with Garen.

”Of course I do. Just send me and tell me how much you need,” Garen laughed. On the surface, he sounded as if he was speaking gently. However, a bone-chilling coldness was seeping through the depths of his gaze. ”That's right, how are my mother and the rest? They're still well, right? I haven't returned to see them in so many years and now that I think about it, I haven't been filial at all. I'm planning to return and visit them. Send me their full address.”

An indifferent look appeared on Celine's face instantly.

”They just moved houses recently and might not have a confirmed addressed for now. If you're coming here, it's best if you inform me first. The Central Star Region isn't the best place to pass through. I can get you a pass through my teacher's connections. However, since you're an Energy Machinist now, this should be easily done. Can you get out of your sealed Stargate now?”

”I can get out because I have a way,” answered Garen while smiling.

”That's right, your mother wanted to speak to you. You should speak to her yourself. I'll transfer you and connect you to the call,” a mysterious smile appeared on Celine's face suddenly before the screen snapped and shut off. It was quickly switched to another place with a little garden in the background.

His mother, Amy Lamda's warm face appeared in the center of the screen.

”Is that Nono?”

”Yes, it's me, Mother. Are my younger sister and Father still alright? I'm planning to come home and visit after some time,” replied Garen's voice in a gentler tone.

”There's no need. You're the backbone of our household and your career is important. We've been living well so you don't have to worry about us. However, we haven't heard from your younger brother all this while. If you hear any news about him soon, remember to inform us immediately. Just knowing that he's still alive is enough.”

His mother spoke softly and occasionally wiped the tears from her eyes.

Garen chatted to his mother about some of their household matters while listening to her constant compliments about Celine.

While listening to his mother enquire about his well-being through the video, Garen's consciousness was focused on his mother's badly rotten corpse below his feet.

An indescribable chill rose from the bottom of Garen's heart suddenly.

A person who died more than three years ago was actually still chatting and smiling at him through the screen?

In the end, who was real…?

In order to repay Celine's for her sentiments and for taking care of his family, Garen constantly sent the available resources in his possession to her. These items had traveled to and fro and he was unsure of how many things he had sent. Every time he watched the video calls of his family members assuring him of their safety, he felt that he had treated Nonosiva properly. However, he had never gotten deeper into the matter to get any other probable answers.

”Alright, I still have matters to attend to here. We'll talk again soon,” after conversing with his 'mother' for a while, Garen could not suppress the murderous intent in his heart and disconnected the phone call quickly.

”In the end, I never acknowledged them as my family from the bottom of my heart. This is how this ending has occurred,” Garen knew the source of this in his heart.
