[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

Three minutes later, Carlisle changed into dry and warm clothes, frowning under the worried eyes of his family members, and came to the basement again.

It's been cleaned up by the vampires of the family—

The door that was broken by Rosalie has been thrown away and replaced with a new one; the messy medical supplies wrappers and needles thrown on the ground have been swept into the trash can; Carlisle's medical equipment has been neatly stacked The shadowless lamp was also removed and replaced with an ordinary, slightly yellowed incandescent lamp.The whole room is very dry and cold, which seems to have been deliberately set up to preserve the corpse.

Yes, Fox in spring is humid and warm, which is simply the best environment for microorganisms to grow.If this was not done, Edmund's body would rot within two days.

That's right, rot.

Carlisle stood in the middle of the basement, silently looking at the boy who was covered from head to toe by a white sheet. ——Even if Edward and the others handle the environment here well, they can't change the fact that he has been away for two full days, so Carlisle, as a doctor, can naturally imagine in his mind what Edmund's body should be at this time. What kind of scene is it.

The boy's muscles will become stiff, and plaques will appear on the occiput, lower back, and spread to the whole body...

After a while, Carlisle took a deep breath, guessing that he had already prepared himself, and then gently pulled the sheet covering Edmund's face.

The boy's sleeping cheeks immediately appeared in his field of vision.

The handsome blond vampire was stunned for a second, then quickly tore off all the sheets and threw them aside.

This is impossible.

Carlisle gently lifted Edmund's neck and examined Edmund's body carefully.

This is impossible. ——His boy has been away for so many days, but his body shows no signs of decay.

This is impossible. — Unless Edmund was frozen in ice, it was absolutely impossible to preserve it so well.

Except for the cold body temperature, the stoppage of heartbeat and breathing, and dilated pupils, his boy seemed to have really fallen into a deep sleep.

I seem to have seen such a record somewhere.

Thinking of this, Carlisle quickly left the basement like a whirlwind, ran into the study and began to search on his bookshelves for the materials he found in the Volturi library in his early years.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— —————————————————————————————————

Edmund lay face down, listening to the silence. ——His sense of touch told him that he was lying on top of a cold object.Maybe puddles, or snow.Well, his senses seem to have lost the ability to distinguish between liquid and solid at this time.

It's been a long time, oh maybe just a few seconds.The boy found himself able to move at last. ——He opened his eyes suddenly, and stood up from where he was lying on his stomach.

All around is bright mist. ——Like the mist wandering in the Fox Forest at dawn, soft and ethereal.

Edmund blinked, and tentatively took a few steps forward on the thick snow beneath his feet. ——As the fog dissipated, his field of vision gradually broadened. After a few seconds, a few sycamore trees with all their leaves fallen and a softly glowing grassland appeared in front of him.

【Where am I? 】——The boy looked around suspiciously. It seemed that there was no one here except him. It was so quiet that he could almost hear the sound of heavy snow falling on the ground.

Edmund turned around slowly on the spot, and then saw a big boy sitting on a sycamore branch. — the other was shaking his legs, half-closed his chocolate-colored cat eyes and smiled in greeting.

"Peter?!"

"Long time no see, Ed." Peter Pace raised his left eyebrow, and landed on the grass like a dexterous cat.

The boy frowned, watching his 16-year-old brother slowly walking towards him.

"I'm glad to see you grow so big." Peter raised his hand and rubbed Edmund's hair. "You're taller than me now. - Well, and you're... a little fatter. The 'stalk' this The nickname can finally be taken off of you."

The boy opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but it was more difficult than he imagined. ——He was silent for a long time and still couldn't say anything.

"Don't you have anything you want to know?" Peter stood in front of Edmund with arms folded and legs apart, with a gentle smile on his face.

"...Is this heaven?"

"Oh! That's a problem, isn't it?" The smile on Peter's face became more obvious, "Of course it's not heaven. Otherwise, how could it be just the two of us."

"Then where is this place?"

"In a memory. To be precise, it's a memory that was conjured up in my mind when I was alive. Everything you see and hear now is what I used to have in my mind."

"Even you know you'll see me after you die?"

"I don't know if you can see me, but I still try to keep this memory, so that if I have this opportunity, I can answer your question personally..."

"...Why can you do this?" Edmund thought for a while before speaking. —He didn't know if this was the right question, but out of curiosity, he asked it anyway.

"I knew you would ask that, Ed." Peter said smugly, "I have hidden a lot of things from you, about my parents, but also about myself... I want to say sorry here. I think Sometimes the best protection for a person is to hide.—I can do this because I am not ordinary human.—Yes, that is such a corny answer.”

"What do you mean?"

"Remember when you were 7 years old and I had a serious illness that nearly burned my brain out? Since then I have been able to see other people's memories at will. Oh, of course, this is only part of it. I You can also choose to delete or modify them." Peter said softly, "This is my attractive little ability. ——Brain waves different from ordinary people."

"Enhanced mind reading?"

"No, this is not the same as mind reading. ——I can only act on people's memories, but I can't know what the other person is thinking at the moment or in the past. So when I have nothing to do, I like to stay in crowded places. Through This ability to look into other people's brains and gain knowledge and experience from their memories. I have to say, it has grown me up quite a bit."

"No wonder... you were always bullying me before you were 8 years old. But after that, you seemed to have matured in a blink of an eye. I used to think about why you changed so quickly. ——etc. Wait, you said you can check other people's memories? Then..."

"Carlisle Cullen. Yes, I have only seen him among the members of the Cullen family. Although he just passed by, it was enough for me to know their secrets. ——from his memory. But I Only had time to see a small part of it, about how he emphasized to the two vampires—Jasper and Alice? Is that the name?—that his family never harmed humans." Peter sipped his lips. mouth, "I know that their family is good people, so I don't think it is necessary to report them. But fortunately, I kept it a secret, otherwise where should you go?"

"Did Anthony tell you I was adopted?"

"Oh, yes.—To be precise, I saw it from his memory." Peter said softly, "I saw you being hugged tightly by that handsome young vampire, with a smile on your face. with a smile I almost never get to witness."

The boy was silent for a moment, turning his realization away from Peter's face and looking at the grass beneath his feet.

"I'm sorry.—If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have died."

"That's why I kept my memory.—I'm afraid you'll keep thinking like this...I think I'm also responsible for this." Peter shook his head, "I saw Anthony's memory, and I know he My real father. I sympathized with Edgar and Leah for what he did, and I thought too well of him to think he wasn't a good man himself.—Don't feel bad about it Blame yourself, Edmund. It's not your fault."

"So...it's true that our parents should be ashamed of him first?"

Peter was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Although they are not honest people, at least they love us, Ed. - I remember you were afraid of Edgar, didn't you? Because he was always very cold to you? But what I saw was different .Can you imagine a man who is as cold as ice in front of outsiders, sitting on the bed with a smile and kissing your cheek while you are asleep? He loves you more than you can imagine."

Edmund took a deep breath, feeling that his nose seemed a little sour. ——It's a pity that he didn't know this until now... It made him feel very sorry.

"What's the use of telling me this now? I'm dead."

"Haha! I knew you would think so!" Peter patted him on the shoulder and replied very cheerfully, "Of course not, Ed, you are still alive. Well, although you are not conscious, at least you have brain waves .Otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me."

"Then why would I... well, since you have already preserved your memory, why are you only now finding me?"

"Because we are half blood related, my dear brother, so the memory I left behind can track you, to be precise, the ability to track you. But you were, cough, IMHO, too weak before. So until now I was able to pinpoint you among so many people around the world.—You are now more than twice as powerful as before, and still seem to be changing. Oh, I think it may be because you are being transformed into a vampire by that doctor. "

"Will becoming a vampire enhance my abilities?"

"Of course.——There are some things that a human being's weak body cannot exert, and the power you possess is one of them. I have felt the power in you since a long time ago, but it has always been There's no way of assessing what that is. It's too vague for me to see, so leave that up to you."

"I don't understand why it's just that we have... something different from everyone else."

"I don't think it's important, Ed. Since fire is already born in this world, why should we think about whether the phoenix came first or the fire first?——All we can do is make good use of it."

The blue-eyed boy thought for a while, then nodded clearly.

"Hey!!! You weren't like this before!" Peter looked a little hurt, "The old Edmund Pace couldn't have accepted such an ambiguous answer! - why didn't I ask further? It made me feel very unfulfilled !"
