Chapter 854: Finding a Home

Although the pursuers were dealt with, Caterpillar volunteered to return to Mello Petersburg, "Leonor, please..."

"Don't even think about it!" Su interrupted him directly, "Do you know how tiring it is to take care of a child? And what a huge responsibility it is!"

Katepila lowered his head. "I can't hide it anymore. I've been in a special cell..."

Special cells are designed for extremely vicious and unforgivable criminals or non-human criminals.

"But you've already been transferred to the regular cells, haven't you?" Etienne walked over. "I've worked here for over thirty years. More than thirty years ago, no, even earlier than that, you were already in the regular cells. This means you've passed the security clearance."

In the first month after arriving in Melo Petersburg, he learned about the various taboos and special existences of Melo Petersburg from his predecessors.

"People who don't exist", "People who have existed for hundreds of years"...

Lenore is a "person who does not exist", while Caterpillar is a "person who has existed for hundreds of years".

Although he may not be a fraction of Katepila's age, as a senior prison guard he knows Katepila's thoughts clearly -

Atonement.

He believed that his sins were so serious that hundreds of years would not be enough to atone for them.

Even if the sentence imposed by the law has long ended, it is still punishing oneself.

"Alas," Su sighed, "So, Carterpilla, you have so many special vouchers that you earned by working for hundreds of years."

She had previously thought that Caterpillar was an investment genius and was planning to learn his asset-increasing techniques!

Forget it, it's fine as it is now. Working is out of the question, I'll just do the tasks and earn the interest.

Sora, who had been silent and deep in thought, spoke up. "Catepila, do you know anything about the Narcissus Cross Society?"

It sounds like a question, but it has a sense of certainty.

Katepila admitted, "I was a member of the Narcissus Cross Society and was arrested for participating in its activities."

Etienne turned and left, dragging away Novalus, who was unconscious from the soda.

He is a senior prison guard who is about to retire, and he doesn't want to hear secrets that he shouldn't know!

After Etienne walked away, Catepilla did not continue speaking.

Lenore is still here, and the dark truth is not for children.

——*——*——

"Finally out!" Paimon took a deep breath of the free air. "Even though there are a lot of huge ventilation fans down there, the natural breeze is still the most comfortable."

Su rubbed her and said, "Thank you, Paimeng, for accompanying me in jail."

Lenore looked curiously at this new world for her, "This room is so big! Brother Carter, where are the walls?"

Katepila, who had transformed back into human form, said, "There are no walls here. As long as Lenore is willing, you can go to many places and see many sights. But you have to wait until you grow up."

Su kept her word and brought Caterpillar and Lenore to the "Garden of the Giant". The lavender fields swayed in the morning breeze, exuding a rich fragrance.

The three gorgeously dressed puppies still remembered the traveling group and greeted them with wagging tails and barking to alert their owners of the visitors.

"It's you guys," Earnshaw said, his expression softening as he pushed the door open. "Have you been on any adventures lately? I made some Tarses chowder, come in and have something warm."

Sue spoke truthfully, “We recently went to Mello Petersburg to be imprisoned…”

Before Su finished speaking, Kong felt that Mr. Earnshaw's eyes suddenly became sharp!

He stared at nothing, veins bulging in his arms, and looked as if he wanted to rush back to the house and grab his hunting rifle.

null:………………

"Calm down! Calm down!" Paimon flew in front of Kong, who was speechless. "Mr. Earnshaw, listen to us first!"

Caterpillar led Lenore, who was lowering her head, to Earnshaw. Lenore, sensing something, raised her head nervously.

Earnshaw squatted down with trembling hands and said in disbelief: "Child, you, you are...!"

——*——*——

It was noon when Lenore said goodbye to her brother Carter on the meadow full of flowers at the foot of the mountain where the gentle breeze blew as her mother had said.

Lenore tugged at the corner of Carter Pila's clothes reluctantly, "Brother Carter... can't you really stay with Lenore?"

Caterpillar: "Linole, everyone has a place to go back to. You should go back to your real home, and I have a place to go too."

Caterpillar looked at Earnshaw, who was waiting patiently not far away. "Mr. Earnshaw is a good man. He will protect you and take care of you."

Lenore slowly loosened her hand and tried to smile through her tears. "Yes! I promised to help Mom take care of Grandpa Earnshaw! I will grow up well. Brother Carter, you must remember to come back to see Lenore."

After bringing a new beginning to a regretful story, the Traveler Group and Caterpillar left the "Garden of the Giant".

Sue, who had been quiet for a long time, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Earnshaw has offered to adopt you. Wouldn't it be nice to live with Lenore?"

Paimon also said: "Will you remember to visit Lenore? If you really never see her again, she will definitely be very sad..."

Katepila: "For children, whether it's meeting or parting, they will quickly forget it. That's how they grow."

"Lenore is back in the normal world with a real family. This is a happy ending for her."

"And my story has ended. If the story doesn't end when it's appropriate, it would be tactless. The hero will turn into a dragon."

Paimon was speechless. Caterpillar's stories and his words were always suggestive and profound.

"Katpila," Sora said, looking at the quiet boy, "I'd like you to take us to the Narcissus Cross Society."

Caterpillar: "Why? It's not a nice place, and there's no wealth or treasure there."

Paimon: "We promised Seymour, uh, a clockwork dog, to help him find his master! Although Marian has passed away, the Narcissus Cross Society may have traces of her."

Sue: "You are also a member of the Narcissus Orphanage and the Cross Society. Like Jacob, you transformed from a human into an abyss creature."

Paimon's eyes widened. "Ehhhhhhh?" How did things get to this point?! What did she miss?

Sora gives Paimon a hint and shows evidence to Caterpillar.

"We obtained Vice Dean Besser's work notes at Narcissus Cross Court, which mentioned Carter, who was in poor health."

"I found the diaries of Alan, Rene, and Jacob at the Natural History Institute. They mentioned Carter, who also came from Narcissus Cross and was suspected of suffering from Demonic Scale Disease. He ultimately suffered a physical collapse after trying Rene's 'special treatment'."

Alan discovered Rene's dangerous human experiments and Carter's tragic condition, and the two geniuses broke up completely because of this.

Sue found it both funny and hellish when she thought about how Rene and Jacob didn't forget to shovel away the carter mud when they escaped.

Paimon covered his mouth, "So... Carter Pira, you are the Carter who was cured by Rene and Jacob?!"

Katepila was silent for a long time, then corrected himself: "I am not Katepila, but Katepila from Katepila."
