Then there is no more

Although the Shelley family has been in decline for a while, they are actually quite well established.Now that it is confirmed that Tom is the ancestor of Theodore, just look through the genealogy of the Shelley family, study everyone's life, and look at the time of their birth and death, and they should be able to find out Tom's identity before his death.

As it should be.

When the family tree was actually searched, everyone found that several ancestors in the Shelley family were named Theodore.According to the naming rules of Westerners, they will inherit the names of their ancestors.For example, Theodore's grandfather was also named Theodore, and when Theodore was born, he inherited his grandfather's name.And Theodore's grandfather naturally inherited the name of his predecessors.Therefore, a string of Theodore appeared on the family tree.

Tom hated the name Theodore very much, and Shen Yi wanted to tease him, saying, "Maybe your name was Theodore when you were alive!"

When they searched the genealogy, they searched from the back to the front, that is, from Theodore's father to the front.When each person was born, roughly what kind of experience he had in his life, when he died, what was the will at the time of death, who was the priest who witnessed all this at that time...these are all simply recorded in the genealogy.Through these records, they were able to exclude many people from the genealogy, all the way back to thousands of years ago.

Bian Jingyu suddenly came to her senses and said, "Tom's last name was not necessarily Shelley. If Tom had only one daughter, and the daughter married into the Shelley family, and the daughter had only one child, the child would be the same from then on. If it is passed to Theodore, Theodore is also the only descendant of Tom." The elf magic he found started from the tester Tom, and he could find all his descendants starting from Tom.If Tom has siblings, nephews and nieces are supposed to be somewhat related to him, but that's not covered by the blood magic.

Taking Tom as a starting point, whether it is his son's descendant or his daughter's descendant, this is Tom's descendant.

"That would be a lot of work. Wouldn't it be necessary to check the women who married into the Shelley family?" Shen Yi said.

"Didn't we suspect that Tom knew Leslie, the founder of the Truth School, and the son of Leiter at that time?" Bian Jingyu also felt that the workload was too much, so she came up with a tricky idea, "First, carry out the genealogy of that period. Come out and check carefully." He searched forward for a while according to the timeline of the family tree.

This investigation really found a suspicious candidate.

The name "Theodore" must have a source. The descendants always inherit the names of the predecessors, and the predecessors inherit the names of the predecessors. As long as you keep looking forward, there must be a person in the Shelley family genealogy On to the first Theodore.They actually found this Theodore!

But none of them thought that the first Theodore was a disreputable illegitimate child.His mother, Catherine Shelley, was a daughter of the Shelley family, whose father is unknown, and the name Theodore was given by his mother, Catherine.Of course, this is the truth recorded in the genealogy. It is only said that Catherine never married, and that Theodore came from a side branch.However, this Theodore is indeed a very capable person.

The suspicious person is not this "first Theodore", but the father of the first Theodore.

They suspect that Tom is the father of "the first Theodore", the father who exists in the three characters "unknown father".

"I didn't expect that I was such a scumbag!" Tom accepted this setting very naturally, "I played with Catherine and abandoned her, making her such a well-educated young lady abandon her dignity and risk giving birth bastards. Oh, I'm so sorry for them!"

Shen Yi couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Why do you have such great hostility towards yourself before you were alive? Why don't you think better about yourself? If the father of the first Theodore is really you, then your name in life is very Maybe it's Theodore, I don't know what the surname is yet, but Catherine is willing to name her son after you, which means that she has never blamed you, and she has always loved you deeply. Maybe you are not a scumbag."

Bian Jingyu added: "Yes. Maybe you and Catherine really loved each other, and the two couldn't help but taste the forbidden fruit, but when you were about to come to propose marriage, someone killed you. It can't be your fault. On the head. Because Catherine loves you, she willingly gave birth to a child for you."

But Tom couldn't listen to the persuasion, hugging his distinct ribs, and fell into self-loathing: "No wonder I have forgotten all the memories of my life. Not only is it very likely that I called my least favorite name, Still a big scumbag who abandoned his wife and son. I'm so bad."

Shen Yi patted Tom's shoulder lightly. She intended to comfort him, but she didn't expect Tom to be scattered all over the ground.

The pile of bones said, as it sprinted towards the bottom of the bed, "I'm ashamed to see Theodore. I'm not a good father."

Theodore couldn't help his forehead, and said: "Hey! Tom, you have too many scenes."

The bones had all been stuffed into the bottom of the bed, and Tom's muffled voice came from under the bed, saying, "You guys go, let me be alone."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why Tom firmly believed that his moral character had been corrupted during his lifetime. Obviously he had no memory at all, and any situation was possible.A flash of light flashed in Bian Jingyu's mind, and said: "Couldn't Tom be the Son of Leiter before he was alive? Tom has always hated the Son of Leiter and always thought that the Son of Leiter was not a good person. Now he feels that I was not a good person when I was alive..."

The name of the Holy Son of Leiter happened to be Theodore Leiter.

"But the Holy Son needs to remain holy all his life?" Shen Yi said.

There was a sneer in Theodore's mouth.After a few seconds, he came to his senses, and quickly apologized to Shen Yi, saying, "I'm not laughing at you. But a life of holiness? That's a joke. As far as I know, the current Pope has an illegitimate child, and he even raised the illegitimate child For the bishop."

There was a loud sob from under the bed, and Tom clearly couldn't accept that he was Rhett.

Shen Yi was going to coax Tom. After all, Tom was summoned by him, and he had some feelings after getting along for so long, but she didn't expect Theodore to move first.He walked to the bed, knocked on the edge of the bed, and said helplessly, "Tom, do you really want to hide under the dusty bed?"

"No dust! I just cleaned it yesterday! On the housekeeper's honor, it's spotless under the bed," cried Tom.

"Good, good, no dust." Theodore said softly, "You promised me yesterday that you would take me fishing today, do you remember?"

"Remember..." said Tom hesitantly, "but I thought I was a good father when I promised to go fishing with you yesterday. Now I know I'm a bad father. I'm so bad that I must Stay away from you... I... I must be a big bad."

Tom's symptoms obviously mean that he has fallen into a dead end. Theodore thought for a while and said, "You are a bad ancestor? Then what? Should you make it up to me? Don't you want to atone for what you did? Come on." Come out from under the bed, your atonement begins with fishing with me."

Tom came out from under the bed, weeping, but still a mess of bones.

Shen Yi and Bian Jingyu looked at each other, and they both left to give the space to Tom and Theodore.Back in Shen Yi's room, Bian Jingyu sighed, and said, "I don't understand why Tom fell into the mood of self-loathing so easily. What did he go through before he was alive!"

"I think it's pretty established that Tom was the first Theodore's father. I just went through the genealogy and noticed that Catherine is very fond of pets, and she likes to have one in her arms wherever she goes." The cat, after death, also left part of the inheritance to the cat." Shen Yi explained to Bian Jingyu, "When my mother left the abyss for the first time, Tom walked with her. My mother didn't know much about the customs on the ground. I listened to what Tom said. As a result, Tom told her that every lady must hold a cat in her arms. My mother released the black panther."

Hearing what Shen Yi said, Bian Jingyu also remembered it, and said, "There is such a thing." Although Tom had forgotten everything about his life, there were still some traces left in his subconscious.He must have known Catherine, but had forgotten her, and thought that every lady liked to hold a cat.

Shen Yi also said: "Tom is so easy to despise himself, either he was really a bad person, or he was a saint with a very high sense of morality. Some people have a high sense of morality, just accidentally aiming at a woman's chest, They must confess that they have committed the crime of rape.”

People with such a high sense of morality are often extremely devout religious believers.They restrain themselves with extremely strict moral standards.As long as there is a hint of killing in my heart, I think I have committed the crime of murder; just eating an extra bite of food makes me think that I have too much greed.

"Hearing what you said, I feel more and more that there is a connection between Tom and Son of Leiter." Bian Jingyu said.

Tom has been coaxed by Theodore to go fishing in the back garden.Theodore told himself that he didn't give a damn about Tom, that Tom was a great nuisance, and at the same time made Tom very happy.Obviously, he was infected with tsundere by the devil, and now he is in the early stage of tsundere disease.

There is a small pond in the garden.

Theodore sat in the shade.The weather was fine and the wind was gentle. Theodore gradually felt sleepy and closed his eyes.

Theodore opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were extremely cold.After a moment, his eyes closed again.

--------

Tom looked behind vigilantly. Theodore seemed to be asleep, and his white face was almost transparent in the sunlight.

Tom relaxed and stopped fishing, staring intently at Theodore's face.

"Look at what?" Theodore noticed Tom's gaze, opened his eyes and asked.

"Though I can't see through your skin..." Tom said.

This is a common sentence pattern in social etiquette.Theodore has said many similar words, although I can't see your soul through your skin, but I know it must be very noble, because your character is like the sun, like the stars, so shining, so extraordinary , and so on.

"... see your bones. But I guess your bones must be very nice. You must be a great beauty!"

Theodore was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Thank you for your (such ferocious) praise."
