Personality V: I will save everything

"Dad is so awesome.＼(☆o☆)／" Andrew looked at the scene in front of him with starry eyes.

They were still the same, using Jack's "Kogakure" ability to make everyone invisible, and then quietly followed Norton.

But there is a drawback to this. Except for Jack, all the other people wrapped in the fog can't see clearly the scene in front of them, it's all white.

But because the manor owner also entered the fog with them this time, Andrew could see clearly what was in front of him this time.

At least they don't have to worry about suddenly bumping into a pillar while walking...(┯_┯)

And with the owner of the manor here, they don't have to pretend to be mute along the way, because Jack's "Kirigakure" invisibility ability can only remain invisible, but it cannot eliminate the sound.

Andrew jumped on the manor owner very happily, and then rubbed his face against the manor owner's cheek (/^-^(^ ^*)/.

Andrew was originally unwilling to cling to the manor owner like he did when he was a child, just because he had reached the age and rebellious stage. Now that his rebellious stage has passed, he has become even more clingy than when he was a child.

Regarding this, I am of course very happy to be held by Andrew, eh ('e｀)?... My little baby lets daddy kiss it.

"Speaking of which, where does this kid want to go?" Jack's voice interrupted Andrew, who was acting coquettishly with the manor owner.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jack didn't know why, but he always felt uncomfortable in his heart...

And have they forgotten something? Although with the manor owner here, Andrew and the others can see clearly what is in front of them and remain invisible, but in the final analysis, Jack is still using the ability of "Kogakure" (*≧m ≦*)! ! ! It seems that among everyone, only Jack himself is the most affected...(╥w╥`)

That's it. Jack wouldn't say that he was jealous because he saw Andrew and the owner of the manor being so intimate... (quietly)

But of course, what Jack himself said was not wrong. Originally, Norton was just wandering around the town, and then they watched helplessly as Norton bought a bouquet of... flowers from the stall next to him?

Miles, a married man among them, mistakenly thought that Norton only came out because he wanted to date the girl he liked, but then they watched Norton walk further and further away, gradually out of the direction of the town, and came to ...the suburbs? !

Now Miles's idea is self-defeating. After all, which girl would invite her lover to go on a date in such a wilderness? !

And looking at Norton like that, he still plans to go deeper into the suburbs. As he goes further, there are obviously no signs of human activity. What on earth does Norton want to do? !

Seeing himself walking further and further with everyone, Cogan finally couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry..."

Cogan paused for a moment, and everyone else turned around, "Well..." Cogan thought for a while, and finally said the last words, "... let's say goodbye here first, over there at the court. The matter seems to be quite serious, and it has something to do with me, so I might...have to go back first."

Cogan actually didn't want to return to the court so early. Cogan took a long leave, originally to return to the manor to take care of Natasha. Unfortunately, Natasha ran away not long after she came back. Went to North America.

Now that Natasha has finally come back, Corgan originally wanted to stay until Natasha gave birth to the baby, and then return to the court, but... that matter...

Cogan felt that he had to go back to the court, and he had to participate in this matter. This could really be said to be an unprecedented accusation, and... Cogan really admired the courage of the plaintiff.

But now coupled with Norton's incident, Cogan is really hesitant whether she should go back now, because although Cogan doesn't show much on the surface, she is still very worried about Norton in her heart, because Norton His recent behavior has been so abnormal, so abnormal that it’s almost like he’s a different person.

Now Corgan is standing there, completely caught in a dilemma. On one side is the "justice" that he must be present, and on the other side is the "family" that he must accompany.

Corgan really didn’t know how he should choose... Because justice requires sacrifice, Corgan gave up his former family, affection and appearance...

Because the original family was not a very good place, at least in Corgan's eyes, so even if he gave it up, Corgan was not as sad as he thought.

But when you truly feel the warmth of family, and truly meet family members who understand and support you from beginning to end, it is really difficult to let go... Even if it is only a temporary separation, you are reluctant to let go...

Because even if it was only a temporary separation, he would probably miss the reason for Norton's abnormality and the birth of Natasha's baby... No matter what it was, Corgan couldn't bear it. (?? _ ??)??

Looking at Corgan's hesitant expression, I guessed what she had been thinking about. At the same time, I felt very happy, because among the many characters, Corgan was more inclined to the kind of "rootless floating" one. That category.

In other words, Corgan has been fighting alone, without a family who loves her or supports her behind the scenes.

I'm so happy that now she has one.

"Don't worry, Cogan, trust me, we will handle it soon. Maybe you can see us in the spectators' gallery then."

I said this half-jokingly, and it was obvious that Corgan understood what he meant.

"Then I look forward to seeing you in court." After saying this, Cogan said hello and prepared to leave.

"Um...Miss Cogan Nicholas, is it a little dangerous for you to go back alone? How about I go with you?" Miles thinks it will be dangerous for Ms. Cogan to go back alone. A little dangerous? After all, they were now in the forest on the outskirts. Looking around, there were only trees. It was not safe for a woman to walk back.

"Don't worry, I have my own shortcut." After saying that, Corgan left, or disappeared from Miles' eyes, or...

"She's very smart, isn't she?" Jack commented on Corgan's method at the right time. It was indeed a smart method.

"Huh?" Looking at Miles's expression, you knew that he hadn't understood it yet.

"It's very simple. Miss Cogan teleports back to the manor first, and then returns directly from the manor to the court. Wouldn't it be very safe?" This is indeed a good idea, and Jack even thought that he might as well think of it himself later. Do the same thing when you're on the road.

"If we don't follow, we will be lost." A leisurely female voice came from a direction that was obviously shorter than Jack.

Jack remembered that they also brought a woman in a wheelchair with them, a woman named Galatea.

But thanks to Galatea's reminder, they discovered that if they didn't rush over, Norton would disappear from their eyes.

………Three hours later…………

"He's also... too cruel..." Jack felt like his legs were no longer his own...

Norton was carrying a large box of luggage alone and a large bouquet of flowers in his left hand. Just like that, he kept walking for three hours! ! ! You must know that they are not walking on a flat road, but on a mountain road! Mountain road! ! !

And even though it was like this, Norton was still not blushing or out of breath, as if he didn't feel tired, and he was still walking forward.

But this made Jack miserable. Among the people following him, Jack was probably the most tired. Not only did Jack follow Norton miserably behind him, he also had to tighten his nerves at all times to prevent Norton from discovering someone behind him. Following him.

Jack now feels like his soul has left his body... (x_x;)

"Jack..." I looked at Jack like that, but after all, I didn't say the next half of the sentence. (Actually, what I want to say is, Jack, are you too useless? -_-||)

Because wasn’t it just a three-hour walk on the mountain road? Why did he look like he was about to expire?

But I glanced up and down Jack's bamboo pole-like body, and silently made a comment... lack of exercise.

Looking at Jack's half-dead look, I bet that under other circumstances, Jack would be able to steadily maintain his strength until the next morning.

"Hey...Jack, come here..." I hooked my fingers at Jack, motioning for him to stretch his head over.

I looked at Jack's head and slapped him on the face as fast as lightning.

This sudden shock made Jack want to retract his head immediately.

But the owner of the manor was holding the tie on Jack's chest with one hand, and he couldn't retract his head at all.

"Jack, just hold on, and then I'll..."

What I said later...keep it secret! Anyway, as I said, Jack instantly returned to his original state as if given a shot of blood, even better than his initial state.

At the same time...after finishing this thing, I kept walking side by side with Jack, not wanting to look back, because I didn't want to see...how the people behind me were surprised by what I just did. ………

I felt like I was just looking for trouble for myself by doing this, but I have to mention that I did this...at least...it worked very well for Jack...

never mind! ! Why do I care so much? ! Just use it! ! !ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ

But in fact, as long as the manor owner looks back now, he can see what the expressions of Andrew and the others are like——(=_=)

Don't ask, just ask because you are used to it.

Anyway, Andrew's feeling for Jack now is that he is "heartbroken". Jack can't succeed anyway, and Andrew is too lazy to care. Why care if he is just looking for trouble for himself? (＿＿)ノ｜Wall

…Half an hour later…

Norton finally arrived near his destination, because his pace slowed down obviously, and then Jack and the others finally discovered this location. Isn't it the location of the large mining area where Norton once stayed?

And when he was on the road, Norton had already changed into the tattered clothes that he asked Valletta to prepare for him in the manor.

This well explains why Norton asked Valletta to make such a dress for him, because it is equivalent to his disguise. After all, if he were wearing those clothes full of gems, he would not be alive at all. Get out of the mining area.

This anomaly is explained, but why does Norton want those broken shells? This is still a big doubt. And why is he looking for some strong hammers?

Everyone who did not get the final result had no choice but to continue walking with Norton.

I saw Norton passing through the mining area, and then came to the other side of the mining area, which looked like an undeveloped virgin forest.

Norton's walk was not very deep. From the time he left the mining area to the time he arrived at his destination, he only walked ten minutes at most.

"We're finally here..." Norton remained silent along the way. This was his first sentence after leaving the manor.

At the same time, hearing Norton say this, Jack and the others finally understood that Norton had arrived at his destination, but... where was this place?

Looking around, there is nothing special except trees or trees?

Except for the owner of the manor, no one knew what Norton wanted to do. However, the owner of the manor never said anything, and everyone could only continue to see what Norton wanted to do when he came here.

I saw Norton looking for a branch from the side that seemed to have been crushed by heavy snow. There were still a few leaves hanging on the branch, which could barely be used as a broom.

Norton used this "broom" to sweep away some debris on the ground, and then a very, very small... stone? emerged from under a pile of dead branches and leaves.

Calling it a stone is not very precise, because it was obviously erected here with a hammer by someone else, and it was also polished. Of course it was not a serious polish, but it could barely be seen that it looked like a stone tablet.

But it's not right to say a stone tablet, because this stone tablet is too small, just as big as an adult man's open palm. No wonder it is covered by some fallen leaves.

"I'm here to see you..." Norton reached out and touched the stone tablet, "Father..."

Norton stretched out his hand to straighten the slightly crooked stone tablet, and then recounted his experiences over the years.

"You have always told me to pray to God, and God will save us...but I have never believed it, but it is me who does not believe in God who receives God's attention, not you..."

At this point, Norton sighed and continued.

"I now live the life I wanted before, even better than I imagined before. I have white bread, milk, and all kinds of meat for my meals. The clothes I wear now are full of gold. And diamonds... (laughs) Except for the one I'm wearing now, after all, I have to hide from those man-eating jackals..."

Having said this, Norton laughed at himself, because he was once one of those "jackals".

"I helped you take revenge...Old Benny and the miners who had bullied us were all killed by me."

Norton said this and touched the burns on his face.

"I went to the place you told me about..." Norton said as he took out the shells he had picked up on the beach.

"You once told me that when I grow up, you would take me to the beach to see and pick up some real shells, but unfortunately you failed to fulfill this promise... I went by myself."

Norton suddenly poured out all the shells in the bag with a "swish!" But although the shells were beautiful, they were all broken.

"I can only bring them here like this. You must know the reason, so I won't say more."

Because if they were complete shells, the miners would definitely pick them all up without any scruples, and they might even dig them up thinking there was something valuable buried underneath.

Norton didn't want his father to be disturbed, so he had to break all the shells into pieces.

"I can take good care of myself, so you don't have to worry about me...bastard."

After saying that, Norton suddenly became furious and trampled all the shells next to his feet into pieces.

"You told me that as long as I work hard and work hard every day, I can live the life I want, have enough to eat, wear clean clothes, and don't have to worry about money every day!"

Norton's appearance suddenly changed. It was completely different from the way he looked when he was remembering his dead relatives. He now looked like a crazy beast.

"You lied to me! You liar! I worked hard, but I only inherited your poverty, lung disease, and pickaxe! Apart from that, I have nothing!!!"

Norton was completely furious. His eyes were red and he was breathing rapidly. He held the stone tablet tightly with both hands and pulled it out of the ground.

Norton was still very young at that time. It could even be said that he stood here when he was still very young. Therefore, the depth of the stone tablet in the ground was not very deep. In addition, Norton was now in a furious state, so he could easily The stone tablet was pulled out of the ground.

Norton was really going crazy now. He raised the stone tablet in his hand high above his head and wanted to smash it to the ground and smash it into pieces.

"Norton!" Miles, who couldn't stand it anymore, rushed out of the range of Jack's "Kirigakure" and grabbed Norton's hand.

"Calm down!"
