Soso curiously took out her eyeball and looked at the mark on her forehead that quickly disappeared, saying:
"Is this - getting married -"
The Witch God's head smiled lovingly and said, "No - This is just a mark that can let you understand each other better - Of course - If one day you feel it's not suitable - it can be erased -"
"If after a long time - you don't dislike each other - Then there will be the real mark of getting married at that time -"
She was smiling especially happily, just like a mother who had witnessed her daughter growing up.
Soso said curiously, "I see -"
Although she didn't quite understand.
But it seemed to be a good thing.
Because she also suddenly felt a wonderful connection with the doctor!
Soso immediately stretched out her tentacles with a (✪ω✪) expression and held Ryan, who was in an o(╥﹏╥)o state, in front of her, saying:
"Doctor - a wonderful - connection -"
The "facehugger" that had sealed Ryan's mouth dropped off under the control of the Witch God's head with a snap, giving Ryan the freedom to speak.
Looking at Soso's innocent eyes that knew nothing, Ryan o(╥﹏╥)o said:
"How should I explain this to you..."
It's too fast!
This whole process is really too fast!
So fast that he couldn't react, so fast that he didn't even know how to explain this current situation.
And from the moment the Witch God's head sealed his mouth, he had already realized that she must have known long ago that it was a misunderstanding and she was deliberately pretending to be confused!
What a strong obsession this is to be so eager to marry off her own daughter!
No!
He must find an opportunity to explain all the twists and turns of this matter clearly to Soso!
Otherwise, it would really be troublesome!
Still clueless and with a (✪ω✪) expression, Soso happily placed Ryan on her head and turned to look at her mother, saying:
"Mother - can we go now -"
The Witch God's head smiled lovingly and said, "Yes - Hehehhe -"
Finally, a obsession in her heart was fulfilled.
...
In the evening.
Black mist was rising.
By the side of a small hill in the desolate wilderness, Ryan was sitting there dejectedly, followed by Soso who looked curious.
Seeming to notice Ryan's depression.
Soso stretched out a tentacle and gently poked Ryan's shoulder.
"Doctor - are you unhappy -"
Ryan raised his head and stared blankly at the distant sky, saying: "How can I be happy like this? It was so sudden. I didn't even have a chance to speak before I signed that darn contract with you, Soso."
"Sorry -"
Soso with a (✪‸✪) expression said: "I thought - the doctor also really wanted - to improve the relationship with Soso -"
Ryan helplessly lowered his head.
He knew that this matter had nothing to do with Soso. Although Soso was powerful, her mind seemed still very young and was indeed easily induced.
Ryan said dejectedly: "It's not that I don't want to deepen the relationship, but... Soso, do you know what getting married is?"
Soso blinked and said: "It's like with father and mother - better playmates and friends -"
Ryan gave a bitter smile and said: "No, getting married is a very sacred thing. It means spending a lifetime with the other person. It requires a long accumulation of feelings before making that sacred vow."
Soso looked blank, not seeming to understand.
The evening breeze was blowing.
Ryan sighed and shook his head.
How could Soso possibly understand?
Although she was huge, but according to the standards of giants, she was actually still a child, right?
The introductions on Soso's parents' panels instantly rang in Ryan's mind.
The head that fell from a higher world...
Surviving with resentment and curses...
War.
Death.
Titans...
Ryan stared blankly ahead, his eyes falling on Soso's blank and pure face.
Was it a Titan whose head was... cut off...?
And what about Soso?
Was it that at the node three thousand years ago, Soso was also like this, having her head cut off and falling from a higher world into this hell...
If that was the case...
"Soso, can I ask you a question? How old are you?"
Soso with a (✪ω✪) expression jumped, shaking the ground, and said: "Father said five years old - Mother said three thousand and five years old - Soso doesn't remember either -"
Ryan was shocked.
Five years old...
He murmured.
Could it be that...
"Have you always been without a body? Or just here?"
Soso with a (❁´◡`❁) expression said: "Seems to remember - having one a long time ago - and then suddenly it was gone - It was too long ago - Can't remember clearly -"
Ryan sat there blankly.
Could it be that...
At the age of five, Soso had her head cut off in the war they experienced...
Then fell.
And finally became the current headhunter...
The current primordial-level creature...
Ryan instantly felt an indescribable chill rising in his heart.
If they didn't even spare the children...
Then the war they experienced back then was probably a real war of extermination...
Ryan turned his head, and there was something else in his gaze when looking at Soso.
Perhaps sympathy.
Perhaps pity.
Especially when seeing her still pure appearance, seemingly having no memory of her previous life, when she died back then... what kind of...
calamity was it really?
He closed his eyes.
His hands clenched slightly.
Soso curiously looked at Ryan's cheek and said: "Doctor - what's going as - are you unhappy again -"
Ryan raised his head, stood up from the ground, the evening breeze blew up the stray hairs on his forehead, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Nothing!"
He patted the dust off his body.
"Just suddenly thought of something."
He turned his head, smiled and stretched out his hand towards Soso, suddenly asking:
"Soso, do you want to become the way you were when you had a body?"
Soso looked puzzled and curious, saying: "Eh?"
Ryan smiled and opened his arms, saying:
"Yes, just like me, having other parts besides the head. Do you want to? If you do, I can help you!"
Soso immediately became excited and happy.
"Really - Can you?"
"Sure! Although it's only for a very short hour, but it's enough."
Ryan slowly stretched out his right hand towards her, with a smile spreading.
"Because, I also really want to see what the real Soso looks like."
