Chương 42: IE: Chapter 42. J's Loneliness.

Noah was now thinking about how to get Laura's bracelet, even if it was only for a short period of time. He needed to upgrade the system first, and then give it back to her later.

He couldn't just ask for someone else's stuff out of the blue. He couldn't just neuralyze her and take the bracelet while she was in a daze, could he?

"Laura, we have no reason to lie to you. The two people you saw were probably aliens too. Maybe they're looking for something about your foster father."

"I understand that you can't accept these things all at once. It would be difficult for anyone to accept seeing aliens for the first time. But don't worry, you won't remember any of this." J saw Laura's tears, and inexplicably felt a little distressed.

"After we erase your memory, you can forget the pain and return to normal life."

"Okay... But after erasing my memory, if I see you again, will I remember it's you?"

"I'll see you, but you won't see me." J's tone was a little low. He knew it was cruel, it was Laura's foster father who had died after all.

"Will I still remember Ben?" Laura looked at Ben's 'body.'

"No, any memories of the aliens will be erased. You won't have any memory of him. You'll probably remember about things like living in an orphanage, but the details would be vague, like the orphanage would already be demolished or something."

"Ben is the sole owner of this store. He was killed by some robbers and left this store to you. You can run this store in the future." Noah added at the side.

"If I could even forget Ben, who raised me, what about you? It must be hard... it must be lonely." There was a hint of pity in Laura's eyes.

Laura's comment made J grow even more silent. Although he was a happy-go-lucky person who smiled and laughed every day, he also had a very difficult time whenever he cleared someone's memory. Because, it was also erasing his own existence. No one remembers him, no one knows him, no one would miss him. He wasn't 'some guy that passed by', he was never there to begin with.

This was the first time that someone had understood him and placed it all into words. He suddenly had an idea, 'why can't I do the same thing N did?'

"Laura, are you sure you don't want to have your memory erased? Then why don't you join us?" J seriously asked.

"J, you don't know who she is. You're going to recommend her to the M.I.B?" Noah frowned, 'What's wrong with him?'

"At first, you didn't know Weaver either, but you recommended her to join. Why can't I recommend Laura to join?"

Noah looked at J, and then at Laura. 'He definitely doesn't just want Laura to join!'

But it so happens that he also wanted the bracelet on Laura's wrist. This was a good opportunity.

"What do you mean? I can join?" Laura looked at J with expectations, "So I get to keep my memories and help you guys find the killers?"

"Of course, but you really have to think about it. Joining us means being the one forgotten." Noah warned.

He saw that Laura's face had changed a little. He was afraid that Laura would run away and getting the Light of Zartha would be even more difficult for him, so he mischievously smiled and added with a joking tone, "But you'll still have J. Or after avenging your adoptive father, if you decide that this isn't the life for you, you can leave at that time. Although, we'll still erase your memories."

J took two steps forward. The left hand behind his back, gave Noah a thumbs up. 'Bro, you sure are a great wingman!'

From the moment he saw Laura, he felt a little excited. This girl was young, beautiful, and her eyes were clear. She understood him, unlike those shallow women he had seen before.

When he saw Laura crying, he was also a little distressed and had a feeling in his heart that he had to protect this girl from further grief.

"Laura, don't be afraid. N is right, you have me."

Noah then walked outside the door and silently opened the lid of his pickup truck, "J, bring her foster father, we have to get out of here."

His pickup truck saved them the trouble of calling for the cleanup team.

After getting into the car, J and Laura sat in the back seats together. He kept saying comforting words, saying everything he could think of to comfort someone.

"J, you're a really nice guy."

Hearing that, Noah almost laughed out loud. 'J was already stuck with the 'nice guy' title, after 30 minutes of talking to the girl. He really doesn't have a chance.' He vaguely remembered the plot of the movie, and the two of them didn't end up together.

But seeing J's happy expression, Noah held back his laughter and didn't have the heart to remind J.

"Laura, you can trust me, I'll help you catch your foster father's killer!" Being praised by Laura, J felt like he was full of energy. If there was a Bug in front of them right now, he would go up and fight with it using his bare hands!

"Laura, your bracelet looks nice. Where did you buy it?" Noah acted like he was just chatting casually.

"My foster father said, my mother left this to me. He said I have had this since I was a child. It's not any kind of precious stone, probably ordinary stone." Laura touched the bracelet, seemingly remembering her foster father.

"Can I borrow it for a while? I want to give one to my girlfriend. She might like this style, I'll have someone look at it and I'll return it to you later."

'After the system finishes its charge, I can return it to her. I'm just borrowing it for a while.'

Although Noah's request was a bit strange, Laura took the bracelet off, "Sure, but please remember to give it back later."

Noah took the bracelet with excitement, but the system did not indicate that he had received the Light of Zartha. 'What's going on?'

'No, the Light of Zartha should be on Laura. She's the daughter of the Princess of Zartha. How could there be a mistake?'

"N, watch the road." J saw that Noah was a bit absentminded, and reminded him. 'Why are you always looking in the rear view mirror? Can't you see we need some time for ourselves?'

"Laura, did your parents leave you anything else?" Noah asked.

"No, Ben never told me anything like that. Why?"

"Did Ben leave you anything, something special? I was thinking that maybe, if he did, we could figure out what they might be looking for."

"No, Ben didn't leave me anything special. He always told me that everyone has their own responsibilities and mine should be to make pizzas."

Speaking of Ben, Laura shed tears again. Noah noticed that the sky, which was clear a moment ago, was suddenly raining again.

He remembered the sentence he had read in the information. It was rumored that when a Zarthan gets sad, it would rain.

Now, he was sure that... Laura was the Light of Zartha!
