Chapter 237 Twin Hypothesis
The hand that Freese had raised to his ear dropped weakly. He raised his other hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a heavy breath.
She is indeed still a child. How can she think these things are so simple? She even says that she is capable of taking care of her mother and brother. It is really ridiculous.
Freese walked out of the study in a daze, walked out of the main house in a daze, and came to the small villa in the back garden in a daze.
When he saw the scratched wooden door, Freese realized what he had to do next. He had to talk to Louisa about this.
A gust of wind blew, and the swing on the lawn next to it swayed slowly. The rusty screws rubbed against each other, making a creaking sound.
Freese was stunned and turned to look at the swing. Scenes from the past emerged in front of his eyes. He remembered that when Flora was still a child, he had held Flora in his arms and played on this swing.
At that time, Milo was not yet in a wheelchair, and he often played with the two children when he had free time... At that time, they had not encountered so many problems in their lives.
But now, everything is so bad, and the troublesome situation is tangled like a tangled ball of wool, making it impossible to sort it out... and even making people want to give up.
Freese shook his head slightly, rubbed his red eyes, withdrew his gaze from the swing, raised his head and pushed open the door.
…
Milo sat in his small study, flipping through books, but none of the words in front of him could enter his brain. When he was distracted, the words seemed to crawl on the book, then crawl into his left eye and crawl out of his right eye, but they did not pass through his brain.
This small study room is upstairs from his mother's bedroom, and the entrance to the house is directly opposite the door, so he can hear the sound of others coming in.
“Click!”
"Bang!"
The sound of doors opening and closing.
He heard someone coming in from outside.
People from the Osborn family usually don't come to where they live, so it should be Dad who comes.
Then I heard footsteps coming from the living room. It should be my mother rushing to the door.
He heard the vague sound of two people talking outside, but he couldn't make out what they were saying. But soon he heard his mother sobbing again.
When he heard the crying, he knew that Flora had failed and he could not go to Dongyang Island.
“As expected…as expected.”
Milo sighed and put the book down.
He had known it wouldn't be that simple, if only the nobles could be manipulated so easily.
My sister has no idea what kind of people the nobles are. Interests are very important to the nobles, but sometimes they can easily give up interests for the sake of the stability of their rule.
Sister, no one wants to win-win with you. They just want you to lose. In order to make you lose, they don’t mind losing themselves.
Although the family failed to fulfill his sister's wish, Milo felt that it was not the family's fault.
In this world, everything has its own way of survival, and the same is true for the aristocracy, a large interest group.
Changing other people's way of survival just because of one's own survival needs is as ridiculous as humans eating meat and wanting to force rabbits and sheep to eat meat.
Similarly, it is also stupid to eat grass while hoping that lions and tigers will not come and eat you and learn to eat grass like you.
"Sister, you are so stupid." Milo smiled sadly.
He looked at his pale, slender fingers, on which the slightly blue veins were clearly visible. His health had been getting worse recently, and he had to take spiritual salt more frequently to keep his body active. But this obviously couldn't go on, and he could feel that his end was near.
He will die, there is no doubt about it.
And he actually knew a long time ago that his abnormal loss syndrome was not a true abnormal loss syndrome.
I remember when he was little, about four or five years old, he could use his supernatural powers to swing the swing vigorously, but his sister's supernatural powers had not yet appeared at that time.
At that time, he was undoubtedly more talented as a psychic than Flora.
But later, when they grew older, his ability became weaker, becoming even worse than when he was a child, and he could only barely push the swing even with all his strength.
At that time, Flora awakened her superpowers. Her superpowers showed incredible power as soon as they awakened. Just a slight touch could cause huge cracks to appear on hard rocks.
Later... he was diagnosed with abnormal loss disease, and his supernatural powers gradually weakened to the point where he could not use them. He then gradually became unable to stand and could only sit in a wheelchair. He then gradually had to take spiritual salt to maintain his vitality.
Until now, more than ten years have passed.
If his sister hadn't kept telling him, "I will definitely cure you! You have to be fine!", he would never have survived to this day.
You know, living is very painful, and the feeling of the vitality flowing out of the body is indescribable. This feeling makes him desperate and wants to die... although he is indeed dying.
He grew up suffering from illness. After he lost his mobility, the only things that accompanied him besides his family were books and the Internet .
Just five years ago, he accidentally read a book that mentioned a disease. To be precise, it should not be called a disease, but a natural phenomenon.
It was a book about eugenics, so naturally the content was also related to eugenics. One of the articles was about a study on how different types of superpowers gave birth to superpowers with complex superpowers. A scientist observed a special case.
A male elemental psychic and a female conditional psychic had a union and gave birth to twins.
Naturally, the twins did not combine the superpowers of their parents, but instead each inherited the superpowers of their parents.
This was originally a very ordinary case, but the subsequent development was unexpected. When the twins were eight years old, they both awakened their superpowers, but one of the boys began to become inexplicably weak, and his physical abnormalities continued to increase.
This phenomenon is very similar to Abnormal Loss Syndrome, but as time goes by, something incredible happens. The brother of the sick child suddenly can use the supernatural powers that he did not inherit from his father one day.
On that day, he became a composite mutant.
And as time went by, the child who gained dual superpowers became stronger by leaps and bounds, and his physical fitness also developed abnormally, while his brother's body gradually became weaker and finally died at the age of ten.
The hypothesis proposed by the scientist is that under certain extremely special circumstances, twins born to two people with superpowers will develop an indescribable special connection. In the years to come, one of them will become weak and die, while the other will inherit the other's physique, superpowers, and abnormalities.
This hypothesis was named the "twin hypothesis" by the scientist, but apart from that one case, there are no other cases in the world.
The data on the twin hypothesis is limited to this one piece. With billions of people in the world, no second similar case has ever occurred, so most people in the academic community believe that this is an academic fraud.
Later, it was revealed that the scientist who expressed this view was actually just a full-time professor, and that the social research he did was just a hobby. As a result, this hypothesis was basically determined to be fictitious by the academic community, and there was no more research in this area.
When Milo first saw this message, he was wondering if he and Flora were the twins hypothesis?
At first, he was not sure, because according to the only example of twins with this kind of relationship, the weaker one died very quickly after awakening.
But he has lived so long now and is already twenty years old.
But later, when Flora went to participate in the superpower league, he realized that his guess was not wrong, he and Flora were the twins.
In order to defeat her league opponents, Flora exerted strength beyond her normal state during the game. Milo, who was watching in front of the TV, could feel strong physical discomfort every time his sister exerted force.
Moreover, the opponent who fought against Flora lost his balance inexplicably several times. This seemed to be a coincidence and an accident, but Milo knew that it must be Flora using his special ability, [Ghost Hand].
The effect of the ghost hand is to stretch out a "hand" that has no entity but can actually touch real matter. This effect is exactly the same as the "coincidence" that Flora showed in the Superpower League.
There is no doubt that Flora had acquired his supernatural powers long ago.
At that moment, he was sure that he and Flora were the second case that fit the twin hypothesis.
He had to admit that he was desperate after knowing the truth.
Anyone who knows that he is another person’s “nutrient” will feel unwilling from the bottom of his heart, and he is no exception.
But this despair did not last long, because he soon figured out one thing - his sister realized the truth earlier than him.
Flora had long known that his growth would lead to his death, so he had been suppressing the growth of his own strength. This was also the reason why he had been able to live so long.
For Milo, this was actually enough. When he knew the truth, he was satisfied.
He loves his family and is also deeply loved by his family. No one is responsible for his tragic fate. It is enough that he can live to this day and receive care from his parents and sister.
Now he has become a burden to everyone. If he were not there, Flora would have lived a happier life. It was his poor health that caused Flora a huge sense of guilt, so she worked so hard.
Milo felt that Flora might not even be aware of this, but he knew it very well.
Every time he heard Flora's voice during their phone call, he could feel the guilt so strong that it could not be dissolved.
These responsibilities should not be borne by her.
I can't blame anyone for my destined early death; it's just fate.
He shouldn't continue to torture Flora.
"Sister, you should live for yourself."
