Collapse 3, the opening made the Yingjies regret for life

Chapter 23: The end of Twilight Street is here!

If, in a group of harmonious herbivores, a lion or tiger was suddenly released, what would it be like?

Presumably these harmonious and docile vegetarians must be shocked, right?

But soon they will discover the fact that their side has an overwhelming numerical advantage, so the panic will not further evolve into panic, but unity, gathering, and vigilance.

At that time, if there are brave individuals who take the lead in defending against foreign enemies, the community will be ignited by a spark of will to fight, and will be completely twisted into one rope. The strength of unity will turn into a tide of counterattack, even the top predators in nature, In the case of fighting alone, you should also temporarily avoid its edge.

——Unless you are desperate, you can only give it a go.

Even the fiercest and wildest beast lord would know how to weigh the pros and cons under the pressure of survival, this is nothing more than normal.

——But what if you throw an Extinct Dragon into this community?

——Dimensionality reduction strike.

——Win, can't win, when you encounter this kind of painting style that is not in the same dimension, no matter how you think about it, you can't win!

Under Aponia's hard work, Lie finally agreed to go to the street with her, and after sending the little creature that was supposed to be food back to the mountain, he returned to the nursing home to wash and change his clothes, and then let Aponia Ya took her hand and wandered around the evening street.

only……

——I didn’t expect this to happen.

Looking at the residents shivering around, watching Lie all the time with a vigilant face, even if it affects the walking, and the residents who dare not slack off at a considerable distance, Aponia couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Undoubtedly, Aponia was disappointed with the current result. She thought that she had done enough psychological construction before she set off, and she had also rehearsed a similar situation in her mind, but she did not expect that the gap between reality and imagination would be so great!

Forgive her, after all, Aponia is just a layman, although she has tried to exaggerate her imagination, but Lie's power is far beyond her imagination.

As soon as they went out, they didn't even meet their eyes. Lie's one-sided glance triggered an avalanche-like escape. Both men and women on the street were overwhelmed by the desire to survive, and their brains refused to think about trivial matters other than escape. Driven by instinct, they began to try their best to stay away from this terrifying source of danger... If they had no other place to go, they had to take their belongings and escape from this ghost place overnight!

——Damn it, when did this kind of monster come to Twilight Street!

——It turns out that the premonition before was not an illusion!

——The end of Twilight Street is here!

At first, although Aponia was taken aback by such a violent reaction, she was not surprised. After all, the children in the nursing home were all scared when they first saw Lie, but the degree was still different—— Don't you see that Ankexia mustered up the courage to initiate a conversation?

She thought it was just the reaction of a certain type of people, and didn't take it to heart until she led Lie through the streets and alleys to the downtown area...

The arrival of Lie directly evaporated most of the population here, and the bustling crowd instantly turned into a torrent of fleeing. Fortunately, Lie remained calm throughout the whole process and did not further arouse panic, and the population density of Dusk Street is also low, otherwise there would be a large-scale stampede No bloodshed.

Soon, the bustling market fell into complete silence, leaving only the vendors who couldn't escape immediately and the sparse figures in twos and threes.

But even so, people did not forget to stay away from Lie and be wary of his existence at the same time. Most of the shops were busy closing the shop and pulling the gates, and the vendors even fell to the ground, with faces full of lovelessness, as if lying flat look dead...

How could this be... Obviously the children in the nursing home can...

Looking at the lonely and deserted scene in front of her, Aponia pursed her lips tightly, frowned, and her eyes were filled with incomprehensible confusion and confusion. Why did it become like this?

——Obviously, Lie did nothing wrong.

Lie is used to this, and he seems to have seen Aponia's doubts, and said lightly: "Perhaps it is because adults have completed various physical developments, and the senses can capture information more clearly, coupled with experience The instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will be stronger than that of children."

Aponia murmured, "I don't understand..."

Lie shook his head and said: "So I said, you are the alien, and their normal reaction is that. If you don't understand, just imagine that I am the evil dragon who destroys the world in the story, but they It's just unarmed villagers...not even villagers. To say it's a baby is an exaggeration. It's such a weak life. Let them face such a terrible existence. Fear, fear, and avoidance are the normal reactions they should have. .”

Aponia looked complicated, and said unwillingly: "Ke Lie obviously did nothing wrong..."

Lie replied lightly: "I'm not hurting anyone now, but people's hearts are far away, not to mention facing this kind of uncontrollable existence that can easily take their lives, no matter how malicious it is, it's not an exaggeration to speculate. , which is quite normal.”

However, the more insipid his reaction was, the tighter and uncomfortable Aponia's heart became. She knew Lie's past and how he walked all the way against the malice of the world. It made her heart ache.

She wanted to refute Lie's remarks, but after thinking about it, she had to admit that Lie was right, and his past was the best proof.

But even so...

Aponia's eyes shone with compassion. She caressed Lie's hair with one hand, and clasped the other's right hand tightly with the other hand, and said softly: "The world is so big, isn't there someone like me?" Is it an outlier?"

A smile bloomed on her face again, only this time, there was a firm look in her eyes, "Let's go, leave them alone, let's continue"

"Do you want to continue? In fact, should I say it or not, in fact, this is very inefficient. If it were me alone, I would have already..."

Before Lie finished speaking, Aponia interrupted forcefully: "You are right, but I can't leave Lie alone, and the main purpose of bringing you out is not to familiarize yourself with the terrain. Show the beautiful side of Twilight Street to Lie as much as possible."

Lie asked in puzzlement: "Beautiful? Didn't you say that this is not a good place?"

Aponia patiently explained: "People's hearts are so complicated, and places built by people are even more so. There will also be multiple aspects, and it cannot be simply generalized."

"That's it... But I have never understood human beings' concept of 'beauty'. After all, this is a very personal thing. I may not be able to live up to your good intentions."

"it does not matter."

Aponia shook her head slightly, then stared at Lie's pupils, and said softly: "I just want to show Lie what I like, what I think is beautiful, and wonderful things, so that Lie can understand me better."

"why?"

Aponia held Lie's hands in front of her chest, then lowered her head and lowered her body to get closer until her foreheads touched.

Her eyes were shining with brilliance, and her words were full of sincere feelings: "Understanding each other is the beginning of two hearts getting closer. Lie has already handed over the past to me. I also hope that Lie can understand me better."

"What's this..."

Before the word 'meaning' could be uttered, Aponia interrupted again: "There is meaning. If Lie can understand me better, I will be very happy!"

"I think, become closer to Lie."

While speaking, two faint blushes appeared on her face, perhaps because she was shy, but she never evaded, she pressed against Lie's forehead, and looked straight into Lie's eyes the whole time, with a serious expression and sincere eyes, without any falsehood sign.

For some reason, looking at that pretty face so close at hand, Lie felt as if something had been touched in his heart, and after being silent for a while, he responded softly: "...Okay."

Aponia immediately smiled: "Then shall we continue?"

"Well, listen to you."

Lie didn't know which part of his heart was touched by Aponia's words, and he didn't even know why he felt this strange feeling. He just felt that there was nothing wrong with wasting time with Aponia in this way. Yes, anyway, I have nothing to do...

——So, why?

Chapter 24: Just because of you

"here it is……"

"Ah, this place..."

"Well, usually there..."

"..."

Lie would never go back on what he had promised, so he let Aponia lead him through Dusk Street one place after another.

Wherever he went, the crowd avoided, their eyes were filled with fear, and they were full of repulsion and vigilance against aliens. Fortunately, Lie's coercion was too strong, and no one dared to make trouble, not even to check and point fingers. Walking down is also quiet and comfortable.

However, even in the cage of sight, Alponia was still in high spirits, actively explaining every place they passed, and even the tone of voice was higher than usual.

It's a pity that her enthusiasm couldn't infect Lie. From the beginning to the end, Lie kept a flat expression. He couldn't empathize with Aponia, but he still tried to respond, listening carefully the whole time, and from time to time Nodded, responded with a soft 'um'.

He couldn't understand Aponia's emotions, but his logic could analyze that if he didn't do anything, just follow Aponia indifferently and let her do stand-up comedy all the time...she would feel lost.

Lie didn't want to see Aponiya showing that expression.

Even if you don't know why.

They walked on Twilight Street like this for a long, long time, during which their interlocking hands never separated for a moment, as if as long as they were with each other, they could keep walking tirelessly.

All of a sudden, Alponia stopped in her tracks. She looked up at the sky and said with insatiable interest: "Ah, before I know it, it's already dusk. Let's go back to the nursing home if we go to another place, okay?"

It was almost dusk at this time, and the sky was surrounded by bright and dark fire clouds, and the setting sun that gradually sank to the sea level cast a soft afterglow, soaking the deserted streets.

Lie still did not refuse Aponia's request, and nodded: "Yes."

Aponia looked directly at Lie's pupils with burning eyes: a faint smile pecked at the corner of her mouth: "I'm going to take you to a good place."

After all, she speeded up her pace silently, and Lie also accelerated forward accordingly.

The two traveled quickly, and they arrived at their destination in a short time. Their last stop today was a soft sandy beach, which was located in a remote location, and the edge was close to the woodland of the island. It could only be seen from a distance that it had shrunk into a small port. Half body, can be said to be inaccessible.

And Lie recognized at a glance that this was the location he chose to go hunting in the sea this morning.

He looked at the surface of the sea, which was covered with glittering golden light by the setting sun, and flowed with light waves, and said lightly: "I have been here this morning."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Aponia felt a little pleasantly surprised, a gentle smile appeared on her calm face again, and said softly: "It seems that we really have a tacit understanding."

Lie withdrew his gaze, scanned the beach again, and then pointed to a certain place on the beach: "The suitcases and clothes were placed there at that time."

Aponia rubbed Lie's little head, smiled and praised: "Lie's memory is really good."

"So, what did you bring me here for?"

Alponia blinked her eyes and replied seriously: "This is the good place I told you... Whenever I am in a bad mood, I will come here to relax at dusk."

Facing Lie's puzzled eyes, Aponia explained self-consciously: "Human emotions are very delicate and sensitive things. Sometimes just a bad day can cause an irreparable mental breakdown, and then destroy a whole society. A person's life."

"I'm not as strong as Lie. In the final analysis, I'm just an ordinary girl. There will be emotions, difficulties or unhappy things, and I will feel frustrated, depressed, uncomfortable and even want to cry. That's normal. matter."

"However, I can't show it in front of the children. Even if I feel so uncomfortable that I want to cry, I have to endure it, and then take time to resolve it-because I am the only adult in the nursing home and the only 'sister' they can rely on."

Lie followed her words: "so, whenever you feel depressed, you will find time to come here to relax?"

Aponia looked into the sky and stared at the vast scene where the water and the sky meet, and calmly replied: "Almost."

She continued: "Listen to the sound of the waves, walk barefoot on the wet and soft sand, let the sea wash away, and then watch the sunset, the sky change, and the sea breeze gradually cool... Then my heart will change. It is very peaceful, and the original boredom and bitterness will disappear, as if it has never existed before...Of course, I do not only have this method of resolution, and I will tell you slowly later."

Lie didn't know how to respond, so he had to be a qualified listener: "Yes."

"correct."

Aponia seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and asked Lie with a smile: "Lie, how do you feel seeing these beautiful scenes?"

"I?"

Lie was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it for a moment, and replied very honestly: "To be honest, I don't have any feelings."

The expected answer, but Aponia was not disappointed, she was not arrogant enough to think that this short period of time could change Lie's mind, but it doesn't matter, the future is long, there is still a lot between them A lot of time, just take it step by step slowly.

"Then let me put it another way."

Aponia further guided: "This scene, which one do you want to see more than the ordinary day and night?"

Lie replied subconsciously: "For me, it's nothing..."

Before the words fell, Aponia interrupted forcefully: "You can't escape, you must choose one of them."

"..."

Lie looked at the scene in front of him seriously, silently compared it in his mind again and again, but he still couldn't come up with an answer. This time, Aponia really gave him a difficult problem.

Seeing Lie Abonia, she was not in a hurry to ask for the answer. She stood patiently aside, with a natural and peaceful expression, a gentle smile on her face, and kept casting encouraging eyes at Lie, hoping that he could come up with the answer by himself. ——It is best to be able to come up with the answer by yourself, but even if the final answer is still 'don't know', she will not be discouraged. This way doesn't work, just try another way.

——Since she has decided to be responsible to Lie, she must not give up halfway.

Which one should I choose... Which one should I choose...

While thinking about it, Lie's gaze drifted unconsciously to Aponia, and for some reason, he seemed to have an answer all of a sudden.

He said truthfully: "That's still the time."

"!!!"

An unexpected surprise appeared, and Alponia was very happy, just about to praise Lie, but he added: "Well, because of Alponia's existence, it's better now, I think so. "

"!?"

Chapter 25: What are you doing~ Ouch~

"Well, because of Alponia's existence, it's better now, that's what I think."

——The opening lightning strike.

Aponia blinked in disbelief: "Just now, the sea breeze seemed a bit strong, and I couldn't hear clearly, Lie, can you repeat what you just said?"

"Oh." Lie Buyi had him, and obediently repeated what he had just said in a louder voice, "I said, because of the existence of Alponia, I think the current scene is better."

This time, Lie's words reached Aponia's ears clearly and unmistakably.

The picturesque scene, the good atmosphere, the reconfirmation, and the previous foreshadowing directly multiplied the lethality of these words by ten times or even nine times!

"!?"
