Dust-covered memories (IV)

"Children, science is the greatest, because science is not inferior to anything, and truth will surely be revealed by science!!" Doctor Ebson smiled, holding up a Syringe through which Syringe black liquid inside could be seen.

Walking up to an orphan, Ebson stabbed the orphan in the arm, completely ignoring the orphan's bewilderment and fear.

"The Eldians are truly amazing, and the Titan Power is truly captivating. It's a pity that the Marley rulers are just a bunch of short-sighted wretches; they simply don't understand!" Ebson looked earnestly at the orphan after the injection.

Suddenly, the orphan began to struggle violently, shaking violently, his eyes turning bloodshot, veins bulging on his neck and face, and he let out a terrifying roar.

This scene terrified all the children except for the little girl Elusa, including Yago.

"My research is absolutely correct. Demons and gods are nothing but the ignorance of the natives! I am the pioneer who brought evolution to this world!"

With a fanatical expression, Ebson raised his hands and stared at the children before him, saying, "Children, I will give you a new life! You will no longer be called demons; you will become angels leading humanity's evolution!"

"Ah!!" A piercing wail drowned out Ebson's voice and drew everyone's attention.

As the child struggled, faint Yellow Lightning arcs of electricity appeared on his body, even flickering in his open mouth.

"Elusa! Help me untie this! Has Doctor Ebson gone mad?" Yago said anxiously to Elusa beside him in a low voice.

But Elusa looked at Ebson with fanatical adoration and said, "No! The Doctor is right! We must follow the Doctor. We are not demons, we are angels!"

Yago realized he couldn't continue like this and began trying to break free of the leather straps binding his arms. He had noticed earlier that the straps on the hospital bed beneath him were worn out, but out of a desire to avoid getting involved, Yago hadn't told Doctor Ebson.

The wailing gradually subsided, and fear grew in the children's eyes.

Doctor Ebson's previously enthusiastic smile froze. "Impossible! What's going on?! How could this be! Something's not right!"

Looking at the orphan's stiff corpse and smelling the acrid burnt odor emanating from his open mouth, Ebson went mad.

Then, Syringe were plunged into the orphans' arms, Yellow Lightning flashing across each orphan's body, but also accompanied by the orphans' screams as their internal organs were burned to ashes.

Even Elusa, who fervently revered Doctor Ebson, collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Only Yago remained. The cold liquid entered Yago's veins through the steel needle, and a terrible burning sensation began to spread throughout Yago's body. The intense pain made Yago unable to help but let out a wail.

Yago was still unable to break free of the belt binding his body in time.

Doctor Ebson was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of burnt blood.

Ebson looked at the only survivor, Yago, whose body was also crackling with Yellow Lightning, but was more stable than the other orphans. This gave him hope for success. Ebson smirked and burst into hysterical laughter.

"Hahahaha! My research was right after all! It must be that the genes of those Eldia children are just too rubbish! Norman, well done, as expected of the child I chose! You are the angel who will lead humanity's evolution!"

Ebson excitedly stomped over the syringes scattered on the ground, crushing the glass syringes into fragments under his boots.

"The toughest first phase is over, Norman. Get ready for a fresh start!" Ebson took out another syringe and walked step by step toward Yago.

Yago was still in excruciating pain, but his strong will to survive made Yago suddenly break free of the belt.

"What!?" Doctor Ebson was clearly taken aback by Yago's ability to break free and stood frozen in place for a moment.

Yago grabbed a scalpel from the wooden table and plunged it into Ebson's thigh. Then he shoved Ebson over and stumbled toward the basement exit.

Ebson's scream came from behind, and Yago ran towards the basement exit on all fours.

"I... I can't die here. I promised Annie I would watch her become a warrior. I also want to..." A glimmer of light appeared before Yago's eyes—the exit from the basement.

Bang! But often, despair lurks behind hope. Just as he was about to touch the light, the stinging pain in his arm and the pulling from behind made Yago's vision go black.

With his hands covered in blood, Ebson viciously plunged the Syringe, stained with his own blood, into Yago's arm, shoving all the black liquid into Yago's arm in one go.

"Norman! As my most perfect creation! Let those corrupt Marley regret it!"

"You should stop your pointless research! I've said it before, the Eldians are all demons, and you actually dare to try to taint their power! Do you want to go to hell with the demons?" The old man in the magnificent suit looked at the disheveled Ebson with disdain.

"You are the heir to the Louis Family. Remember your place!"

Ebson's eyes were lifeless, his legs were wrapped in thick bandages, and his white coat was stained with blood and dirt.

"Father..." Looking at the dignified old man before him, Ebson's mouth moved a few times but he didn't say anything.

"Stop worrying about that damned Titan Power. The gun blueprints you gave me last time have certainly caught the attention of the other Nobility. Get ready, the head of the Tybur family wants to see you." The old man said calmly as he got into the car.

Ebson slumped to his feet, pondering the knowledge in his mind. He could have used this knowledge to become a superior person in this world, so why was he so fixated on the Titan Power? Was it because his previous obsession had run too deep?

"Bill, clean this place up," he instructed. Ebson followed his father into the car and drove away.

Bill, the butler of the Louis Family, with a face full of scars Bill, directed several servants to carry out the body from the basement, with the ashen-faced Yago lying on top.

Wearing the yellow Armband that symbolizes Warrior Candidate, Annie's little face was filled with excitement as he eagerly returned home, even bringing a smile to his usually stern father's face.

Annie looked at the Ring on her hand. Because the Ring was quite large, Annie wore it on her thumb, her eyes filled with anticipation. She really wanted to tell Yago the good news, even though Annie didn't know what the price of becoming a warrior would be.

At the seaside dock, the Louis Family's butler made arrangements with a ship preparing to depart for Devil's Island, and several corpses were thus loaded onto the ship. After sailing for a while, the bodies of these Eldia orphans would be thrown into the sea.

Having avoided the arduous task of digging a pit, Bill leisurely lit a cigarette, watching the ship sound its departure horn and slowly sail away from the port.

(There's one last chapter in Yago's Memories, but Muzi feel there are some parts that need revision, so I'll release it tomorrow~(^з^)-☆)
