Chapter 508 Zhang Deshang's Memories
The judge's bench was split in two, and Zhang Deshang was slowly raised in a mobile cage, revealing his full appearance.
The crowd's angry shouts grew even louder.
"Zhang Deshang, you deserve to die! What a joke! Since when can a deformed creature be put on trial!"
"Thirty years ago, you secretly sneaked into my planet and dug up my peach tree. That was the only peach tree on my planet, and it was given to me by an adult!"
"I remember you. You stole my clan's snake eggs. The poor little snakes never even hatched to see the world before ending up in your belly!"
"..."
Everyone started criticizing it.
Zhang Deshang kept his head down and remained silent.
Lu Youyou took the memory connector and walked over to Zhang Deshang.
It's called a memory connector, but it's actually just a small, thin, round piece.
By placing it in front of your forehead, you can transmit your memories to a large screen, or even to a small screen viewed by members of various ethnic groups.
Zhang Deshang extended his tentacles and stuck them to the memory-connected machine.
zizi...
The piercing crackling of electricity shattered the lively atmosphere.
The white curtain in the sky changed color, turning completely black.
Amidst the crowd's questions, the scene on the screen changed once again.
It immerses the reader in the story through Zhang Deshang's perspective.
A woman of medium build with curly hair, bent over, her brows furrowed with worry.
"This... how did I give birth to a deformed octopus? Zhang Cheng, look, doesn't this child have any human characteristics at all?"
A furious male voice rang out.
"Look, look, look what? I've already looked closely enough! It has no human characteristics whatsoever, and its talent level is extremely poor. Just strangle it."
"No! No way! Even if it's a deformed octopus, it's still my child."
The man ignored the woman's words and her desperate pleas.
He picked up young Zhang Deshang and slammed him to the ground with a loud bang.
The screen went black again.
But the girl's hysterical voice did not disappear.
"This world is absolutely chaotic! Humans want to merge parts of us to become stronger, yet we take pride in giving birth to children with human characteristics. What gives us the right?!"
"A real octopus shouldn't have human characteristics. An octopus with human characteristics is deformed. We are the deformed ones. My child is not deformed!"
The only response she received was an extremely indifferent male voice.
"Are you crazy? Humanoids are the strongest. Octopuses without human characteristics are deformed and useless."
The woman laughed wildly.
"Hahahaha! You're all a bunch of lunatics! You throw away your perfectly good genes and are willing to become monsters for the sake of power!"
"Who are you calling crazy! Go to hell!"
boom!
There was a loud bang.
The woman also died.
He was killed by being thrown to his death.
"It's Mom! The voice in my dream was Mom! Why don't I have this memory? Why don't I remember? Dad killed Mom!"
Zhang Deshang stared at the curtain, his tentacles churning in the cage as he roared incoherently.
He wanted to rush out and kill his scumbag father, but he was trapped in the sturdy cage.
Not only was Zhang Deshang excited, but the clan leaders who heard this passage all looked at the Octopus Clan Leader in the back seat.
His gaze was sarcastic, and his disgust was palpable.
"No, it wasn't me! I'm only thirty years old, and I've only been in office for a year!"
The young octopus chieftain blushed crimson, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant.
People say that the members of his octopus family are very affectionate, but what just happened clearly shows that the previous patriarch killed his wife!
How are the other men in the octopus family supposed to get married and have children? Their reputation is ruined!
Wow!
The sound of water can be heard on the screen.
The black screen turned into a dim, earthy color.
Xiao Zhangde swayed back and forth as the black water flowing from the garbage heap gushed out, sobbing incessantly.
When he was thirsty, he would drink the dirty water beneath him, which was infested with wriggling worms.
When he was hungry, he would bite into the rotten food around him.
And so, he grew up and became a dark, black octopus.
One day, he found an animal encyclopedia in a garbage dump. It was even an interactive version, and the octopus drawn on it looked exactly like himself.
"So I'm an octopus!"
Zhang Deshang was very happy, happy that he knew his true identity.
But what follows is endless loneliness.
"The encyclopedia says that octopuses give birth to many babies at once, so where are my brothers and sisters?"
"Did I get lost because I was naughty, and my parents didn't notice me because I was too young?"
From that time on, two dreams sprouted in Zhang Deshang's carefree mind.
His first dream was to grow big, so big that no one could ignore him.
His second dream is to find his family.
He rummaged through the garbage heap even more diligently.
Because it contains discarded materials, allowing him to gain an understanding of the outside world.
At first, he was illiterate and used an interactive encyclopedia day and night.
When he encounters a word he doesn't know how to read, he presses the word with the reading pen and starts reading it at least a thousand times.
Later, he learned all the words in the encyclopedia and was able to understand what was said in other materials.
Lu Youyou pressed the fast forward button, and the useless scenes flashed by quickly. She only played the important parts at normal speed.
"I'm on a garbage planet. No wonder there are so many supplies; they were all transported from different planets. I wonder if my parents know I'm doing so well here. Are they worried about me?"
"The Octopus Family, this must be my home! I need to find a way to leave this garbage planet and go home to find my mother."
"Haha! Teleporter blueprints! Why is one corner dirty? I can't see how it's installed."
"Wow! Someone actually dropped teleporters! Such a large batch of teleporters is enough for me to study!"
"Mission accomplished! I'm so smart! I can fix broken teleporters. If there are too many kids in the family and my parents can't afford to feed them, I can even earn money by fixing teleporters!"
Zhang Deshang happily boarded the teleporter he had repaired and headed towards the Octopus Family.
But what awaited him was not the joy of his parents being found again, but the disgust of the octopus chief.
"You're still alive? You should know your mother... Get out of here, you deformed mutant, I don't have a son like you!"
"So what if I can repair teleporters? As long as I get on good terms with the adults, I can have as many teleporters as I want! Who cares about your secondhand teleporters?"
"What if the adults find out that my octopus family has a deformed creature like you, and they get angry and stop giving me good things?"
"Get lost! I should have used more force to smash you to death back then, rather than having you alive and making me lose face."
"Take your broken teleporter and get back to your garbage planet! If I see you again, don't blame me for killing you without any regard for our father-son relationship!"
"..."
The clan leader's words were piercing to the heart.
This shattered Zhang Deshang's beautiful image of his family.
He came with passion and left with a broken heart.
