The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

Even though the morning sun was bright and bright, the chill in the air still made people's hands and feet ache.

The entire sanatorium is like the nun in front of me, elegant and holy...but a little too quiet, so quiet that it is sad, so quiet...

Even if it suddenly disappeared the next moment, no one would notice.

"The former dean and nuns..."

Alponia's voice fluttered in the air softly like a cicada's wings.

"It's true that they all left."

"What about...the former children?"

Aponia shook her head, "They also...followed."

Xier may not understand the meaning of the so-called "leave" and "go with it", but Mikael squeezed her hand tightly, which made her realize that their ending may not be the same as the nun's. Speak so calmly.

"Anyway, since we're all here...can we go in and see the children? Is this also Xier's wish?"

"Ah."

Xier lowered her head, and held his arm with both hands, as if Mikael had become a kind of support for her at this moment—no, it was not limited to a certain person, what she needed was just a Lean on, that's all.

But Mikael's reaction was even more violent. He withdrew his hand extremely quickly, took a quick step back, and caressed his chest intently.

Xi'er's expression instantly turned gray.

But in just a split second, Mikael returned to her side. Under the strange gaze of Alponia, he knelt down, rubbed Seele's head, and forced a smile on the painful expression. Smile:

"I'm sorry, Xi'er, I just reacted a bit... In short, let's go and see those children, see them, the place where you used to live... can be regarded as revisiting the old place."

His eyes flickered a little, and seeing Xier nodded slightly, he wrinkled his nose and quickly looked away.

With his appearance, not to mention Alponia and Seele, even the nervous Qianjie noticed something was wrong.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? Are you insane?"

While Aponia was pulling Seele to the depths, it was rare for him to "concern" Mikael.

Mikael shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

If you know that you are destined to kill someone in the future, it is less wise to get involved with the other person beforehand.

But, that poor child is standing in front of him, how can people have the heart to cut everything...

What's more, is it just the Sixth Herrscher?

Looking at the child's back, it seemed that she was never alone in Mikael's eyes.

And Himiko...even Alicia...and this era

"what!"

Hearing Xier's exclamation, Mikael used the power of space before Qianjie could react, and suddenly appeared beside her.

"what happened?"

As soon as Mikael's question was typed, it was answered in silence.

The children smiled hard, genuinely, and welcomed strangers who came to visit them.

But that smile looked so weak on his pale face.

Fortunately, it's just pale.

It's just that both Mikael and Seele understand.

This unusually pale complexion often means that...

I don't know when the purple lines will appear on the body.

"That... brother Mikael."

"……What's wrong?"

"Could I make a phone call? I know two doctors who used to treat people in our family... I ran away suddenly, I don't know... I want them to check up on the children in the nursing home, please ?”

"Even if you're a doctor, you might not dare to come to Twilight Street... Forget it, it's better than letting Mebius come to check the child's body."

So Mikael handed the phone to Seele.

"Hey... I'm sorry, Xier got it wrong... Doctor Farr, Doctor Su, can you... come to Twilight Street? There is a nursing home here, and there are many sick children in it..."

"Su?"

Chapter 37 SU

"call……"

Su put down the stethoscope, forced a smile, and softly comforted the children a few words, then walked in front of Seele, looked at Mikael, and hesitated to speak.

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

It was Qianjie who was carrying boxes of cabbages into the yard, these were anti-entropy reserves—so where did Weiwei spend all her funds!

"I'm sorry, Miss Xi'er, the director is still in charge of the work in the hospital, only me, an intern doctor, has been sent here. Speaking of which, how's your condition during this time?"

"Hmm..." Xier hummed a long sound, but quickly turned to smile again, "It's much better, except for the occasional weakness, Xier feels the same as before."

"Ah... that's good, that's good."

He turned his gaze to Mikael. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Mikael always felt that there was a more complicated meaning in that gaze.

"This gentleman..."

"Just call me Mikael."

Su's child hole trembled slightly.

"Okay, Mr. Mikael, can I take a step to speak?"

Mikael rubbed Seele's head, she just showed a smile that couldn't understand the meaning.

Then, he followed Su to a secluded corner, and after making sure that no one was around, Su and Mikael spoke at the same time:

"Thank you Mr. Mikael for taking care of Seele..."

"I know Kevin..."

……

"Kevin!"

Su is not the enlightened being who has gone through 5 years of erosion. He pressed Mikael's shoulder hard and asked loudly, "Where is Kevin? Is he still okay now?"

"Don't worry."

Mikael just twisted his body, and shook Su's hands away, "Kevin is fine now, he and May are both working in a secret department."

"Well... the secrecy department... and Mr. Mikael..."

"Oh no, I'm not, I'm out of there now."

Mikael told the truth, there is no need to lie, because there will always be a day when it will be exposed...

But... Except for Alicia.

"It's fine..."

Su only sighed this sentence, and then his expression became serious, which made Mikael realize that Seele's matter was not that simple.

"Mr. Mikael, can I trouble you to take Xi'er in for a while?"

"Uh, of course this is fine, it's just..."

Mikael frowned, "You shouldn't be Xier's guardian, right? Besides, Xier has her own home, right?"

"That's why I asked you to communicate alone - Xier's house... something happened..."

"!"

Worried!

"A doctor like Director Faer can't leave his post at will, and Xier's parents have a personal doctor who needs to come to the door. Fortunately, in the field of this strange disease, those doctors with more senior qualifications are no better than me, an intern. How can doctors be strong, so I often come to their home to do...do some treatments that are actually useless.

"When Xi'er's parents and sister left one after another, her mood was not very stable. I could only act as a psychiatrist, and continue to treat her illness... Ha, actually her illness does not need special treatment. , was abnormally stable...but her mental state was getting worse and worse until she suddenly disappeared.

"On the first day she disappeared, that is, the day before yesterday, everything was normal when I went to her house, but she was not there. On the second day, that is, yesterday, I wanted to go to her house to try my luck again, but the gate stopped Two men in black were killed. I dare not ask more, because the villa’s surveillance system has records of my entry and exit, if they want to check, I’m afraid they will startle the snake.”

"To startle the snake?" Mikael tilted his head, "Are you sure they have malicious intentions? Why is that? Also, I think Xier's mental state is not bad, except for the agitation at the beginning of yesterday." ... At least I think she is doing well today."

"Hehe..." Su Yan laughed twice, looked at Mikael's eyebrows and eyes carefully, and shook his head.

His actions confused Mikael, but before he could ask, Su spoke again:

"Xie'er's family is not as simple as you imagine. Her adoptive parents are well-known entrepreneurs in Brindi City, and their factory often recruits a large number of employees...

"Well, how should I put it, in short, I have taken over five patients. They all worked in the factory of Xier's adoptive parents. They were all infected with Honkai disease without exception, and the onset rate was faster than others. What's more, even if the limbs with purple lines are removed in time, it is too late to stop the disease, and most of the other patients can persist for several months or even a year under normal circumstances, such as Xier, I think it can even last for two or three years... …but those five died within a week.”

Mikael's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he raised his head in astonishment until Su's last sentence was finished:

"A week? You mean a week?"

"Yes."

Mikael closed his eyes and walked around Su twice: One week, what a familiar time?How familiar is Lesion Speed?It was almost the same as Luluye's man-made lesions at that time.

It is true that it is a miracle that patients can survive a week after the Houkai disease intensifies in the later stage, but it is still at the stage of the outbreak of the Houkai disease, and there are many people who have survived for a few years, so it seems that the death rate this week is so fast Incredible.

At the same time, it also means how strong the Houkai energy radiation they suffered at first!

Perhaps it cannot be arbitrarily attributed to man-made, but that must be the greatest possibility.

And Su may not know that the specific principle of the Honkai disease is radiation, but as long as it is a doctor with a normal brain, he will not fail to notice this abnormality.

"So, in fact, you chose to go to Xi'er's house to provide home treatment, and it was actually for this purpose, right?"

Mikael pointed this out astutely.

But Su didn't refute.

"Then I have another question: Su, why did you tell me this? Do you want to ask me for help?"

"of course."

its not right?Mikael did not provide any more personal information other than his name. Based on what Su could see, such as Qianjie, who seemed not easy to bully, and the boxes of cabbages, Mikael felt that If it was him, he could only guess that he was the "boss" of a gang on Twilight Street.

And if the boss of Twilight Street leaves Twilight Street, then he is nothing.

"you know me?"

"Ah, to be precise. In fact, I started to doubt you when I first saw you, and then your name matched with what I remembered. But I still can't confirm that you are the one I remembered Mikael - until you mentioned Kevin."

"Kevin? I see."

Mikael remembered that Su should have lost contact with Kevin after the third Honkai, which should have been after the Luluye incident, and Kevin had mentioned himself to Su.

It's just that his appearance is a bit ordinary, and his clothes are nothing special. The name "Mikael" is not bad, there must be many people with the same name, and there is no white emergency food by his side, so it is difficult to let People recognize it immediately.

"So how does Kevin evaluate me? I also said that I have left the secret organization now, so why don't you ask why? What if I am a vicious person?"

Su smiled and shook his head: "I believe in Kevin's judgment. Although he is stupid, he can't be wrong in judging people. After all, he brags that he can catch up...cough cough! In short, in his description, you are a A calm and reliable senior. And then again, I don't need to know the reason why you left the organization, I just need to know that you have no ill intentions towards Xier."

"No malice, it's that simple?"

Mikael was very surprised, but Su who was asked by him was obviously even more surprised.

He laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe, maybe you and I see things from different angles. You seem to think that it is normal for people to treat each other with kindness and sincerity? In my opinion, this It is indeed rare, and precious happens to mean scarcity."

Mikael smiled wryly, probably because he has been with Ellie for a long time, and he forgot to speculate on the world with the greatest malice...

"In short, I hope you can help with the investigation, mainly to see if you can sneak into Xier's house and find some evidence. Let me be honest, I can't give you any reward, but... this matter may be special to you meaning."

"Special significance?"

"Um……"

Mikael pouted, he still had one last question, but he found the answer before he opened his mouth:

"Su, why did you take this muddy water? Investigating this kind of thing won't do you any good."

"Well! Can't you speculate on me with the utmost kindness as you did just now?"

"Mr. Mask! Mr. Mask!"
