For the Three-Eyed Peng, the sudden turn of the journey dazzled her.
At first, she only hoped to become a human.
Then, Three-Eyed Peng discovered that someone was plotting the resurrection of the most terrifying ruler of the Three-Eyed Race, the Ghost Eye King. At that time, she felt fear and uneasiness.
But now …. As she sat on the plane, enjoying a cold drink and watching an entertainment program, it was as if everything that happened before was just a dream ….
"By the way, Miss Peng, there's something I've been wondering about."
At that moment, Crimson turned to look curiously at Three-Eyed Peng, who was sitting beside her.
"Why are you so obsessed with becoming a human? I don't think there's anything wrong with being a monster. "
This was a question that Crimson had always been puzzled about. After all, she had seen many monsters, but whether it was Misty Branch of the Sea, Sauerkraut or Hisashi, they all seemed to be satisfied with their monster identities. It was the first time Crimson had seen a monster like Peng who insisted on becoming a human.
If one were to say that they had lost interest in the world after living for a long time, then Misty Branch of the Sea and Hisashi, who were much older than Peng, did not seem that dispirited. At least, in Crimson's opinion, they seemed to enjoy life. Therefore, she could not understand why Peng insisted on becoming a human. After all, apart from the third eye on her forehead, she looked no different from an ordinary person. Besides, although the Three-Eyed Race had a long lifespan, they were much weaker than the monsters that Crimson had seen before.
For example, Hisashi was not afraid of swords and knives at all, while Misty Branch of the Sea was a noble vampire who was hard to destroy. In contrast, although the Three-Eyed Race had a long lifespan and possessed a certain amount of power, they were as fragile as humans and would die if they were killed.
Therefore, Crimson could not understand why Peng was so obsessed with becoming a human. In her opinion, the only difference between the Three-Eyed Race and humans was their lifespan and power. Other than that, the gap between them was not as big as she thought.
"…."
Facing Crimson's question, Three-Eyed Peng hesitated for a moment. She glanced at Grizzly who was sitting on the other side, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice.
"This is a punishment for me."
"Punishment?"
"Yes."
The Three-Eyed Pendant nodded.
"I've told the two of you before that the Three Eyed Race had almost all sacrificed themselves to stop the Ghost Eye King. But … things aren't that simple. "
The Three-Eyed Pendant said with a trembling voice.
"Humanization Technique … Not only did the Three-eyes lose his power, but his personality and memories as well. My husband, Shu Ya, was not Ghost Eye King. However, through the Human Transformation Technique, he obtained the Ghost Eye King's power and was controlled by his personality, becoming the new Ghost Eye King.
At this point, the Three-Eyed Ape seemed to have recalled something and curled up its body.
"Like I said, in order to stop the new Ghost Eye King, everyone worked together, but we were no match for him. At that time, everyone begged me to help them fight against the Ghost Eye King. But … I can't do it! No matter what, he is my husband! The one who raised me! No matter what, I can't resist him! "
"…"
"… In the end, he killed everyone and came to deal with me. Just as he was about to kill me, Shu Ya's personality, who was sleeping in the Ghost Eye King's body, woke up. He took control of the Ghost Eye King and told me to run away quickly. At that time, in fear and panic, I subconsciously chose to seal him … "
"…"
Hearing this, Crimson blinked, not knowing what to say, while the Three-Eyed Ape lowered its head.
"So, I'm not a hero who led my people to fight against the tyrant. I betrayed everything, betrayed my people who trusted me, and I couldn't save my husband. I'm just an indecisive coward who was afraid of death. After that, I sealed myself off and created a new personality … "
"Is that the other Ape?"
"Yes, she doesn't have those memories. She just wants to become a human."
"But, but if the Humanization Technique is completed, what about you, Miss Ape?"
"As I said before, the Humanization Technique will transfer the power and personality of the Three-Eyed Race to another Three-Eyed Race. When the Humanization Technique is completed, I will leave this body, fuse with the Ghost Eye King, and disappear completely."
"This …"
Crimson was shocked to hear Three-Eyed Ape's answer, but she didn't know what to say, so she looked at Kaede for help.
"Sister Kaede, look …"
"This is her own decision."
Kaede silently turned a page of the magazine.
"The one who started the trouble needs to solve it. This isn't something we can interfere with. If she didn't choose to run away, but bravely pulled herself together and led her people to fight against the Ghost Eye King, the Three-Eyed Race might not have fallen to this state. But on the other hand, her resistance might have been useless, and she might have been killed by the Ghost Eye King like the others. "
Kaede shrugged.
"She made a choice, so she has to bear the consequences. Running away is not shameful, and cowardice is normal. Although there are many heroes in the legends who mustered up their courage to face evil, ordinary people can't do it. They are heroes because ordinary people can't do it. It's like a doe facing a hungry wolf. She can choose to stand up and protect her young. She can also choose to run away alone and leave her children to the wolves. After all, children can reproduce again, but she only has one life. "
"This …"
"What I said is only a choice. To live or to die. This is a question that nothing in the world can escape. It's the same for Ape. Perhaps she would prefer to be killed by the Ghost Eye King instead of living in pain and self-blame like this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have created another personality. "
"As expected of Lady Kaede."
The Three-eyed Pei revealed a bitter smile when he heard Bi's words.
"Then, do you think that what I have done is right?"
"I don't have the right to judge you."
Kaede shrugged and looked away.
"I said, you have to bear the consequences of your choice. The reason isn't important. The process doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the result. If you have no attachment to this world and only want to exchange your death for peace of mind, that's your choice. But if you still have a trace of attachment to this world and don't want to disappear, then continuing to live is also a matter of course. No one will praise your decision, and no one will blame you because you only have to face yourself. "
Then, everyone was speechless.
Crimson didn't know what to say either. Of course, she felt that it wasn't a good ending. But as Kaede said, this was Three-Eyed Ape's own problem. She was different from the other personality. The other personality simply longed to become a human. But for Three-Eyed Ape, this was a form of self-punishment. All of this originated from the war that led to the destruction of the Three-Eyed Race hundreds of years ago, and this was something she couldn't interfere with.
Soon, the plane returned to Japan. Just as the three of them walked out of the airport gate, they saw a man wearing a windbreaker and a hat. He wrapped himself up tightly. It was as if the words "I'm very suspicious" were carved on his face as he walked over stealthily.
But Kaede didn't care. In fact, she had already figured out the true identity of this suspicious man from the monster aura emanating from his body.
"Greetings, my lord."
Kaede bowed respectfully to Kaede.
"I'm a subordinate of Lord Benarius. He asked me to tell you that we've found the last Three-Eyed Race member."
"Oh?"
Kaede raised an eyebrow when she heard the answer.
"You're quite fast. Who's the other party?"
"Here. Take a look."
While saying that, the trench coat man took out a photo. Kaede took the photo. It was a bald guy in a blue school uniform who looked like a primary school student. He looked innocent, but the most eye-catching thing was that there was a piece of tape on his forehead ….
"According to our investigation, this person is called Le Baojie. He should be a descendant of the Three-Eyed Race in Maya …."
"…."
How should she put it? When she saw the symbol of the Three-Eyed Race, Kaede had a bad feeling. Now, it seemed that her bad feeling had come true.
No, it should be said that it was within her expectations.
After all, there were only a few famous Three-Eyed Race members, and this was a childhood memory. Not only that, this guy also had a split personality, just like Kaede. He usually looked like a cowardly ordinary boy, but as long as the tape on his forehead was torn off to reveal his third eye, he would immediately become … .well … .a completely different person.
By the way, this manga was also Fangzheng's primary education material when he was a child.
As for what it was, I'm sure everyone knows.
Tezuka Osamu Sensei is really good (thumbs up).
If it was someone else, Kaede might have to think twice, but if it was this guy …. Well, considering that the humanization technique would transfer the personality and power of the Three-Eyed Race member, the Le Baojie's three-eyed personality would also disappear.
Kaede carefully recalled the things that guy did after he awakened ….
"It's him."
Kaede silently returned the photo to the trench coat man.
"Let's do it."
He was doing the people a favor.
