Little One curiously plucked out her eyeball, gazing at the rapidly fading mark on her forehead, saying:

"Is this—getting married—"

The Godweaver Head smiled fondly and lovingly, saying: "Not exactly—this is just a mark—that lets you understand each other better—of course—if someday you feel it's not suitable—it can be erased—"

"If after a long time—you still don't absolutely dislike each other—then you'll get the real marriage mark—"

She smiled with extraordinary happiness, like a mother watching her own daughter grow up right before her eyes.

Little One said curiously: "So—that's how it is—"

Although not really understanding. This content belongs to novelFirｅ.net

But it seemed like a good thing.

Because she could instantly feel a wonderful connection with the doctor!

Little One immediately (✪ω✪) extended her tentacles and lifted Lynn, who was in an o(╥﹏╥)o state, to her front, saying:

"Doctor—such a wonderful—connection—"

The Facehugger sealing Lynn's mouth plopped off under the Godweaver Head's control, giving Lynn back his freedom to speak.

Looking at Little One's innocent eyes that understood nothing, Lynn said o(╥﹏╥)o:

"How should I explain this to you..."

It happened too fast!

This whole process was really too fast!

So fast he couldn't react, so fast he didn't know how to explain this current situation.

And from the moment the Godweaver Head sealed his mouth, he had already realized she definitely knew this was a misunderstanding—she was deliberately playing dumb!

Just how deep was this obsession, to be so impatient about marrying off her own daughter!

No!

He must find an opportunity to carefully explain all these complications to Little One!

Otherwise things would really get troublesome!

Still completely unaware, the (✪ω✪) Little One happily placed Lynn on top of her head, turned to look at her mother, and said:

"Mother—can we go—now—"

The Godweaver Head smiled lovingly: "You may—hehehehe—"

Finally, she had fulfilled an obsession in her heart.

...

Evening.

Black mist rose.

By a small hill outside the Desolate Wastelands, Lynn sat dejectedly, with the curious-looking Little One following beside him.

Seemingly noticing Lynn's depression.

Little One extended a tentacle and gently poked Lynn's shoulder.

"Doctor—not happy—"

Lynn raised his head, gazing emptily at the distant sky, saying: "How could I be happy like this? It was so sudden, I didn't even get a chance to speak, and I ended up signing that damn contract with you, Little One."

"Sorry—"

Little One said (✪‸✪): "I thought—doctor also wanted—to improve relationship with Little One—"

Lynn helplessly lowered his head.

He knew this wasn't Little One's fault. Although she was powerful, her mentality seemed quite young, and she was indeed easily influenced.

Lynn said dejectedly: "It's not that I don't want to deepen our relationship, it's just... Little One, do you know what marriage really means?"

Little One blinked her eyes, saying: "Is it like Mommy and Daddy—better playmates and friends—"

Lynn laughed bitterly, saying: "No, marriage is a sacred thing. It means spending your whole life with someone, a sacred vow made only after a long accumulation of feelings."

Little One looked confused, not really understanding.

The evening breeze blew.

Lynn sighed and shook his head.

How could Little One possibly understand?

Although she was huge, by Giant standards, she was probably still a child, right?

Instantly, the descriptions from Little One's parents' status panels echoed in Lynn's mind.

Heads fallen from a higher world...

Surviving filled with resentment and curses...

War.

Death.

Titan...

Lynn stared blankly ahead, his gaze falling on Little One's confused yet pure face.

Were they... Titans... who had their heads chopped off...

And what about Little One.

Did she also have her head chopped off at that moment three thousand years ago, also falling from the higher world into this hell...

If that were the case...

"Little One, can I ask you a question... how old are you?"

Little One (✪ω✪) hopped up and down, shaking the ground, saying: "Daddy says five years old—Mommy says three thousand and five years old—Little One doesn't remember either—"

Lynn jolted.

Five years old...

He murmured.

Could it be...

"Have you always been without a body? Or is it just here?"

Little One said (❁´◡`❁): "Seem to remember—had one long ago—then suddenly didn't—too long ago—can't remember clearly—"

Lynn sat there stunned.

Could it be...

At five years old, Little One had her... head chopped off... in the war they experienced...

Then fell.

Eventually becoming the current Headhunter...

The current root-level entity...

Lynn instantly felt an indescribable chill growing in his heart.

If even children weren't spared...

Then what they experienced back then was probably a true war of genocide...

Lynn turned his head, his gaze toward Little One now containing something else.

Perhaps sympathy.

Or maybe pity.

Especially seeing her still innocent appearance, seemingly with no memory of her past life, how must she have felt when she died back then...

Calamity.

He closed his eyes.

His hand clenched slightly.

Little One looked curiously at Lynn's cheek, saying: "Doctor—what's wrong—unhappy again—"

Lynn raised his head and stood up from the ground. The evening wind blew through the strands of hair on his forehead, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Nothing!"

He patted the dust off his clothes.

"Just suddenly thought of some things."

He turned his head, smiling as he reached out his hand to Little One, suddenly asking:

"Little One, would you like to return to how you were when you had a body?"

Little One looked puzzled but curious, saying: "Huh?"

Lynn smiled and spread his arms, saying:

"Yeah, like me, the doctor, having parts besides just a head. Want to? If you do, I can help you!"

Little One immediately became excited and happy.

"Really—possible?"

"Really! Although it's only for a brief hour, it's enough."

Lynn slowly extended his right hand toward her, his smile spreading.

"Because, I really want to see what the real Little One actually looks like too."
