edge of pure land

Chapter 55 Promise (third update)

After Lu Buer returned to the military base again, he first went to the military supply depot and exchanged for the highest-level supply box and ten thunder attribute numerology chips.

At this point, he still had two thousand and one merit points left.

That was the deposit he planned to keep to exchange for magic chips.

Tonight he continues to prepare for intense electrotherapy.

The receptionist at the munitions depot treated the newly promoted corporal with great respect. After all, with so many meritorious deeds, one could tell that he must be a capable person, and he is probably going to be very successful in the future.

"Sir, you don't need to come here specifically to exchange supplies. There are chaplains in the officer's dormitory specifically to serve you. You can leave these errands to them." The receptionist's smile was brighter than Sunflower's. It was like meeting my biological father.

It's completely different from the last time I came here.

"Takeaway, right?"

Lu Fuji understood, but still felt uneasy and refused.

What if the priest swaps his memory chip?

At this time, the receptionist came over secretly and whispered: "If you want to change your family, you can also tell us. What do you want? If you need a wife, we have very good candidates. I can introduce it to you and ensure your satisfaction.”

Lu Fuji was stunned: "Why do you really want me to change my family?"

His instinct told him that there was something fishy in this matter.

"Oh, that's right."

The receptionist did not hide anything and said frankly: "It is said that there was something wrong with the quality of the last batch of military supplies, and many officers were complaining. The superiors have already been punished for this matter, and they are currently planning to recover that batch of people and repatriate them. Go to the orphanage and get retrained.”

Lu Buer frowned, so Boss Zhang's daughter would also be deported.

No, you have to find a way to stop it.

This matter requires vigilance. After all, the Corpse Food Cult has now penetrated into the city. Who knows if there will be big figures who will rebel because their life span has reached the limit or they cannot advance.

The man behind Aoki is also a potential threat.

He was a little worried and had to go home quickly to take a look.

"Oh, right."

Lu Fuji suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you have any snacks, candies, etc.? Or maybe clothes and skirts for little girls, hairpins, etc.?"

The receptionist was stunned: "You mean, daily necessities for family members? There are some, and with your military rank, these things are all free, you can get as much as you want!"

He was very positive: "I will prepare it for you right now."

Late at night, there was a crackling sound from the campfire on the front line.

The door of the stone house was open. The girl in the white dress was sitting on the small bench at the door and fell asleep. A group of priests and ten mechanics in red were guarding her.

A group of people just watched the little girl sleep, and the scene was very strange for a while.

When Lu Fuji came back, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

Fortunately, it's okay.

Obviously these people were left behind by Jose. That guy has now been taken to the Noah Agency to work as a mechanic. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take care of the little girl for him.

From this point of view, Noah's mechanism is still very good to He Sai.

After seeing Lu Fuji's return, the priests and mechanics knew that they had completed their tasks. After bowing respectfully, they quietly withdrew without making a sound.

On the other hand, Lu Fujian was not so gentle. He shook the little girl awake and shouted: "Lu Sixian! Lu Sixian! Wake up, why are you sleeping here? I won't freeze you to death."

Lu Sixian slowly woke up, her eyes were hazy with sleep, and she looked a little silly.

She was stunned for a long time before she realized that her brother was back.

He replied obediently: "I'm used to it."

"What are you used to?"

Lu Fuji asked.

"This is how I waited for my parents when I was little."

Lu Sixian said softly: "I heard from the elderly at home that people's life and death are unpredictable every time they travel, but if they have the attention and blessings of their family, they will come back safely."

This is what the Ministry of Purity says, it’s bullshit spoken by those pedantic old people.

They all sold you as a witch, but you still remember all that useless nonsense.

Of course, Lu Fuji also understood the other meaning of this sentence.

"Do you want me to come back safe?"

He asked curiously: "Do you think I am family?"

This was the only time after losing his parents that he experienced the feeling of someone waiting for him at home.

Lu Sixian nodded seriously: "Brother is family, the family assigned by the divine intelligence."

Lu Fuji raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about the previous family members?"

"It's family, too."

"Then will you also wait for them to come back at the door?"

"Um...no."

"why?"

"Because they don't like me."

"You think I like you?"

"At least my brother is nice to me."

"Then it's quite easy for you to be satisfied."

Lu Fuji looked at this ragdoll-like girl and sighed inwardly.

If this is a witch, there is nothing to be afraid of. The only symptom of her illness is that she can dream and draw, and it has not brought any bad luck to him.

On the contrary, it helped him escape from death.

"Listen, you will be my sister from now on, my only family in this world. I will protect you from now on, but you can only pray for me." Lu Fuji ruffled her black hair hard, After all, she still didn’t tell her about the remnants of the Rebirth Department.

Although I don’t know how the little girl escaped from the Corpse Food Cult.

I don’t know what kind of abuse she suffered in her past families.

But the past doesn't matter anymore.

This child's life is already full of holes, and there is no need to know those sad things anymore. "You can be sad, you can be sad, you can lose your temper, but it can only be for me, not for other irrelevant people. Your parents are watching you in heaven, and as for other people, you have nothing to do with you. It’s my family now.”

Lu Fuji said seriously: "Do you understand?"

Lu Sixian was silent for a moment and nodded confusedly.

"it is good."

Lu Fuji took out a handful of candies from his pocket: "This is your gift."

Lu Sixian was surprised. She had almost lost the concept of gifts in her life.

It was her parents who used to bring her some little surprises.

Even Lu Fuji had never been so kind to her before. He only treated her as an ordinary family member and gave her basic respect as a human being.

But this time, she seemed to experience the feeling of being pampered.

Lu Fuji's attitude towards her changed significantly.

"I also bought you a lot of skirts. Winter is coming. What should you do if you catch a cold while wearing a torn nightgown all day long? I don't have time to take care of you. Listen, although I don't know how long I can live, as long as I still Live a day and you will live a good life if you follow me.”

Lu Fuji placed the boxes containing clothes in front of her, then raised his little finger and said word by word: "If anyone bullies you, I will beat him to death."

Lu Sixian was stunned for a long time, then raised her little finger slightly and pulled the hook with him.

Very cute.

Lu Fuji then laughed, took apart a piece of candy and stuffed it into her mouth.

Lu Sixian blinked her eyes cutely, and the lychee-flavored candy melted in her mouth.

She had never eaten lychees and didn’t know what they were.

Very sweet anyway.

Very sweet.

"Change clothes and move."

Because there was nothing valuable in this stone house, they didn't need to bring anything with them. They could just go directly to the officers' dormitory in the military base.

Lu Sixian wore a furry white mink hat, a thick snow-white cashmere coat, velvet stockings, and a pair of heavy snow boots.

Lu Fuji put another brown scarf around her and put on gloves for her.

The girl carved out of ice suddenly became exquisite.

"This makes it look better."

Lu Fuji smiled with satisfaction.

Lu Sixian saw a brand new version of herself in his dark eyes.

For a moment, I felt a little strange and unrecognizable.

The sugar in your mouth has melted, but the sweetness is still filling your mouth.

"Let's go."

Lu Fuji held her hand and led her towards the officers' quarters.

Lu Sixian gently twitched her delicate nose, as if she could smell the smell of the wasteland.

It was a smell she would never forget.

It's a flavor unique to the place where she grew up.

She raised her head and saw the boy's profile, and seemed to understand something.

"Brother, did you see anyone when you went out this time?"

"No, just a bunch of living animals."

"Live animal?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Oh."

Lu Sixian looked away and called softly like a kitten: "I will be in trouble. Many people in this world don't like me."

"I know, but I don't like those people either. I think they are idiots."

Lu Fuji shrugged: "I like to fight against idiots the most."

Lu Sixian actually knew that she had been abandoned very early, so wherever she went later, she would be cherished as her home, but the final outcome was not good.

The stone house that was getting further and further away from her was once her last hope.

Now she is leaving too.

But this time she was not afraid, but had expectations.

Because someone has already promised him the meaning of home.

As long as you follow him, you are home wherever you go.

Lu Sixian raised her pale eyes, as if a violent storm was gathering in the depths of her eyes. When the young man's figure was reflected in her eyes, it was gray, as if shrouded in a layer of vague mist, gradually stained with... A rich layer of black.

When Lu Fuji was about to go on his mission, he was even darker than this.

That's...the color of death.

"I will protect my brother."

Lu Sixian said suddenly.

"What stupid things are you saying? I still need your protection?"

Lu Buer patted her on the head: "You are not a big person, but your tone is not small."

Lu Sixian pursed her bloodless lips.

The soft voice was drowned in the howling wind.

"You protect me, and I will protect you."
