A journey into an infinite dimension

Chapter 353: Accident and Adoption

In the deepest part of the Lost Bamboo Forest, in the courtyard of "Eternal Pavilion".

Under the curious gazes of the many rabbits gathered from the surrounding area, an instrument shaped like an industrial coal furnace stood quietly in place.

The baby was not wrapped in anything. Its weak newborn body was lying naked on a platform covered with a cotton mattress. At the same time, its body and face were connected to several wires extending from the instrument.

"Master, all the parameters have been adjusted to the maximum value as you said."

Lingxian spoke seriously after looking at the baby whose entire body was almost red and whose breathing intervals were getting longer and longer.

"Start it."

Nodding, Eirin waved his hand to cast a barrier covering a large area around "Eternal Pavilion" and gave orders.

"Yes!"

Reaching out and pressing on the handle, then slowly pulling it down, Lingxian looked at the instrument that started to work, and kept muttering to herself in her heart.

I have brought you back, you must be safe.

Under everyone's gaze, when the instrument was turned on, the baby's body was like a reservoir with the floodgates opened. A large amount of energy immediately burst out from his body along the wires connected to the baby, and rushed into the instrument.

Wuwuwu————

At the same time, after receiving these energies, a large amount of steam was suddenly released from the air outlet of the instrument. The initial amount was enough to be called "huge", and as time went on, it was gradually increasing.

It was visible to the naked eye that the baby's expression was slowly relaxing as the energy in his body was drained away, and the redness on his skin was gradually fading.

""call......""

Seeing this, two relieved voices were quietly heard among the sounds of the instruments, and the rabbits around also began to whisper to each other.

They all had high IQs and learned the whole story from Lingxian.

Although I don't really care about the life or death of a human child, it's still nice to join in the fun.

Time passed minute by minute, everything seemed to be developing in an orderly manner, and everyone's mood relaxed.

Except that Yonglin's expression became even more serious.

"Eirin, what's wrong?"

The girl who was the first to notice Eirin's abnormality asked in confusion.

"Based on my estimation of the amount, the energy in his body should have been fully released several minutes ago."

Eirin whispered to the girl.

"Furthermore, since the energy extraction began, other than rescuing him from a dangerous state, it has not provided any effective relief."

In other words, although the baby's situation is no longer as dangerous as before because the energy in the body has been drained, it still cannot be said to be 'cured'.

"you mean----"

Understanding Yonglin's meaning, the girl looked at the baby, who seemed to no longer be in as much pain as before, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

She didn't know why she was worried about a baby she didn't know.

She was just worried about him.

"---Um?"

Suddenly, in the girl's eyes, a strange glimmer seemed to suddenly appear on the left shoulder of the baby's back, and then the blush that should have faded quickly covered his petite body again.

“Woo-wah—woo-wah—”

Suddenly, a shrill cry that sounded like a wail sounded, and the sound that seemed to contain endless pain made people feel an uncontrollable pain in their hearts.

Woo woo woo dong dong dong————

As everyone's gazes changed slightly, the energy channeled from the baby into the circuit suddenly began to surge, and soon the circuit was expanded. At the same time, the sound emitted by the instrument began to become increasingly ominous.

"Teacher!"

"I gonna go see."

Without waiting for Lingxian to say anything, Yonglin had already reached the baby's side and gently turned his body over without affecting the wiring, so that his back was facing upwards.

She also saw the incident that just happened, and even knew what was at that location.

But she originally thought that it was just an ordinary birthmark.

I saw that on the baby's left shoulder blade, there was a birthmark with a color of scarlet and almost black, shaped like a crescent and a butterfly, quietly imprinted on its skin. It was so clear that it didn't look like a natural birthmark, but more like an artificial tattoo.

But Yonglin could see that this was something the baby was born with, not something that was carved into him later in life.

Is this the reason? But I didn't sense anything unusual from it at all...

He gently stroked the birthmark with his fingers, but didn't feel any difference from the rest of his skin. A hint of doubt flashed through Yonglin's mind.

But the incident did indeed occur because of this. What on earth was this?

Anyway, give it a try first.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and then pressed them on the baby's birthmark. As Yonglin thought about it, a seal quietly covered the birthmark and quietly merged into it, concealing its shape.

boom! ! !

At first, the seal did work, but soon, an even more powerful energy broke through the seal set by Yonglin with the most powerful attitude. The energy stirred up by the collision burst out, forming a large gust of strong wind that swept everything around.

"Well!"

Eirin, who was in the center, seemed completely unaffected, but Suzusen, the girl, and the rabbits, who had not anticipated this sudden change, subconsciously used various means to resist the impact, and barely avoided being blown away.

However, the energy extraction instrument was not so lucky. No one helped to resist it, and its size was not small to begin with, so it was the first to be hit. The instrument was separated from the ground by the impact and fell heavily to the ground.

Boom————

A large cloud of dust was stirred up and steam was no longer released, which meant that the instrument's function had malfunctioned.

Empty, empty, empty——————

As expected, after losing the restraint, all the energy that had been drained away exploded from the baby's body, repelling the circuits in his body and Yonglin's hand, and driving his body slowly into the air.

The blank eyes slowly opened, and the pupils swaying with flames and light reflected the scenery in front of them like a mirror. The moon butterfly pattern similar to the birthmark bloomed with a hazy brilliance. A feeling as if even the soul was completely seen through suddenly came over the hearts of everyone present, making them feel as if they no longer had any secrets in front of these eyes.

Under the influence of this mentality, even if the person in front of them is just a fragile baby, they all feel as if they are facing a pillar of "Heaven's Way".

Ding---

However, this feeling quickly disappeared from everyone's mind.

Because the moment the pendant worn by the baby suddenly lit up, all the changes disappeared.

Whether it was the psychological pressure or the scene of surging energy in reality, they all disappeared like an illusion.

The baby, who was floating in the air relying on energy, slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground after losing the support of energy.

Fortunately, he did not actually fall to the ground, but was caught steadily by two pairs of slender hands.

"this......"

Catching the baby at the same time, the girl and Suzusen exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Eirin at the same time.

The successive incidents made it difficult for them to react.

But now it seems that everything is fine?

"Ah, it's lively? Didn't you say there's something exciting to watch?"

A voice quietly broke the quiet atmosphere, and everyone looked at the little girl with bunny ears who suddenly ran out from the bushes. Only then did they remember that there was indeed a member of their "Eternal Pavilion" who had not yet arrived.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Lingxian was too lazy to seek revenge on the culprit who caused her to fall into the trap and meet the baby.

Compared to this matter, she was more concerned about what to do with the baby next.

"Let's stay and observe for a few days."

Eirin said as she glanced at the baby held by the girl and Suzusen.

"If you're sure there are no hidden dangers, send it to that human village."

Human beings are always more suitable to live in human society.

"But Master, his eyes are so strange. He must have a very hard time in the human world. He might even be abandoned by the humans."

Hearing this, Lingxian suddenly became a little anxious.

She knew the personalities of those humans very well. If this baby had nothing special about him, it would be fine. But judging by the look of his eyes, if he was sent to the human world like this, those humans would definitely not treat him well.

Being treated as a monster and being looked down upon since childhood is not a big deal. If no one is willing to adopt them, it is not impossible for them to be thrown out of the village and become food for monsters.

Although, if that kind of power still exists, then perhaps it will erupt again when encountering danger, but let's not talk about the consequences of such development. For example, a baby who has just turned one month old cannot even talk or walk, let alone think. How can it survive alone?

Since I brought this child home, I have the obligation to ensure his future.

Otherwise, if I just pick him up and don't care about him, what's the difference between me and his damn parents who gave birth to a child but didn't raise him?

The girl looked at Eirin, and although she didn't say anything, she also agreed with Suzusen's point of view.

Although she didn't know what humans were like in this era, she didn't think that human beings would change in just a thousand years.

What is ugly and filthy is absolutely still the same.

In fact, rather than handing over the baby, she was more inclined towards——

"If you're so worried, then let's keep it and raise it ourselves."

The bunny-eared girl, who was feeling a bit depressed for not being able to catch up with the fun, overheard the conversation between Lingxian and Yonglin and made a flowery suggestion.

"That's right, leave it to me and raise it myself————Hmm?"

Suddenly coming to her senses, the girl looked at Yonglin and others who were focusing their attention on her, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

I actually said what was in my heart like that?

————Forget it, just say it out loud.

"Yonglin, please keep this child. We have the ability to raise a child anyway."

Looking up at Eirin, the girl said seriously.

"Master..."

Lingxian also looked at her own master.

Indeed, this is the best way.

Rather than sending it somewhere else, it’s better to raise it yourself.

"Raising a child isn't just about having enough resources, right?"

Seeing that the girl was serious, Yonglin felt a little helpless.

I always feel that the princess seems to care particularly about this baby.

Is it because of that pendant?

Although he is indeed very special, and I am also somewhat concerned about his background and strength.

"It's okay. You've taught me, Toyohime, and the others before, Eirin. Plus, I can try to learn."

Hearing Eirin's words, the girl knew there was something going on and spoke immediately.

"I, I can learn too!"

Lingxian also continued.

"......All right."

After a long silence, Yonglin finally agreed.

It's been a long time since I've seen the princess so concerned about something.

Maybe this is a good thing.

But, I just hope the princess doesn’t get too deeply involved.

Seeing that Yonglin agreed, the girl couldn't help but smile.

"From now on, you are Kaguya Horaisan's younger brother."

Looking down at the baby who was already sleeping peacefully, the girl—Hōraizan Kaguya spoke softly.

Just think of it as a novel experience in the long years.
