Collapse 3, the opening made the Yingjies regret for life

Looking at the dusty Lie, Aponia's eyes were moved. She opened her arms again, with a faint smile on her face, and greeted Lie in the direction.

Lie nimbly avoided Aponia's embrace again, then jumped up and touched Aponia's forehead lightly, and said helplessly, "It's all dirty, idiot."

Aponia touched the place where the bullet was shot on her forehead, and said with a naive smile: "I don't mind."

Lie was puzzled and said, "If that's the case, why can't you wait a little longer?"

Aponia blinked her eyes, and immediately said without hesitation: "Because I want to give Lie a warm hug right away~ Mingming Lie has paid so much for everyone, if I'm even stingy with the little care of a hug, That's really outrageous."

Lie suddenly said: "So that's what you think, but I don't care, I know you care about me, I can feel the kindness from you and the children, that's enough."

Seeing that Aponia had returned to its original state, Lie continued, "I put all my things in the courtyard...the place where I told the children yesterday's story. It's relatively empty."

"Take the children to have a look first. I'll go back to the room and wash up before going. By the way, do the nursing homes still have any extra pants? As you can see, the ones I'm wearing are considered useless."

"Yes, I'll get you a set first, and then take the children to the courtyard."

"Sister Alponia, let me go. You have worked so hard, so leave this trivial matter to me."

"Eh? Ankexia, when did you wake up?"

"It's been a long time since I've woken up. Lv just made such a big commotion, and then a group of people gathered in the corridor and chattered for a long time. It's hard not to wake up, right?"

"...Indeed, I'm sorry, Ankexia..."

"Don't tell me you're sorry. I know. Brother Lie ran out so early for the sake of everyone in the nursing home. Lily woke up everyone because he was worried about what happened to brother Lie. If I complain again, I will be too ignorant gone."

"Besides, everyone thinks the same way. You see, although they were all woken up, they didn't complain."

"..."

Looking at the happy scene in front of him, Lie suddenly recalled the time when he was taken in by his teacher and lived in the orphanage, and——

The last ruins and corpses everywhere.

The calamity called "Hangkai" ruthlessly crushed his first home, and all those who cared about him and were willing to accept him were spared, either they were torn into pieces or turned into bloodless, tearless, A monster who knows how to destroy.

At that time, after witnessing everything with his own eyes, Lie, who could do nothing but give them equal silence, felt as if a flame was surging in his heart, almost breaking through all shackles, roaring to burn out from his chest, and burn everything.

This is the first time he understands what 'anger' is, and it is also the first time he gets angry.

——However, the price is too heavy.

After that, he was engulfed in burning rage, broke through all obstacles recklessly, and tore the culprit of the disaster to pieces alive.

—Happy, very happy!

But the dead are gone, and time only cares about moving forward, not going backwards. Even if the culprit is killed, the dead teachers and everyone in the orphanage will never come back, never will.

The revenge is successful, the fire of anger is gradually extinguished, the sense of exhilaration fades away, and what is replaced is a sense of emptiness that has been dug out of the heart. It is obviously not injured, and the beating is still strong, but the heart often lingers with strong phantom pain , Inexplicably, old memories often appear in his mind, as if he is still living in the past...

Somehow he realizes that this is called 'sadness', but there is undoubtedly a lot of things that he doesn't understand. It's a pity that this time there is no 'teacher' to explain his doubts for him.

So, after pouring out his anger and losing his home, he started wandering aimlessly and in a daze... just like him when he was born.

Later, he experienced many things, big and small, and his understanding and cognition of "Hengkai" became deeper. Even if he didn't have a systematic understanding, he could still sum up some laws from his past experiences.

That's why, after discovering those monsters, he immediately made the decision to 'destroy them all', and afterwards checked the entire area several times.

The mere existence of these monsters will cause disasters and bring huge losses and harm to human civilization. If they are left alone, they will inevitably become a major safety hazard, so they must be wiped out.

However, Lie also knew very well that although they meant 'Honkai', even without them, Honkai would come randomly and at will.

——It’s just that the probability of Honkai happening is relatively higher in places where Honkai beasts are active.

In other words, even if these monsters are cleaned up and inspections are made every day, what should come will still come.

Honkai is such an unreasonable disaster.

——It would be great if there is a way to completely eliminate the Houkai, so that everyone can be safe and sound.

Staring at the back of Aponia and the children leaving, Lie thought from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Lie, brother lie, here are new pants and clothes..."

Suddenly, Ankexia's trembling and subtle voice came from the side, Lie came back to his senses, looked around, and saw Ankexia standing tremblingly with a set of clean and tidy underwear in his hand , watching Lie's every move carefully like a frightened little animal, as if she would run away immediately if the situation was not right.

Lie was puzzled by this, how could this child be more scared than when he first saw me, didn't he get along well before, and dared to sleep on my shoulder...

He has always been straightforward, and this time was no exception. Upon seeing this, he asked directly: "What's the matter? Suddenly he looks scared? Don't worry, I said before, I won't hurt you."

Seeing that Lie finally returned to the familiar appearance in his memory, An Kexia couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "It's just that Brother Lie's expression was really scary just now, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to breathe hard... ...Did something happen? Why did brother lie suddenly... "

"It's nothing."

Lie shook his head, and actively interrupted Ankexia's words. He followed the relevant content in his memory and squeezed out a smile on his face, trying to soothe Ankexia's fear. At the same time, he explained:

"It's just that when I went out, I saw some bad things and thought of some bad things. It's okay, I've already dealt with it."

An Kexia nodded half understanding: "Oh, that's it... If you can help, you must say it. Everyone is very happy to help brother lie."

"Well, I will. If there is nothing else, Ankexia, you can go there first, and I will be there later."

"Ah."

After watching Ankexia briskly leave, the smile on Lie's face disappeared instantly, and he walked towards his room with his clothes expressionless.

——Not only money, but also the matter of Honkai has to be considered on the agenda?

——But collapsed.

——How to eliminate it?

——By the way, I seem to have heard that there is a human organization dedicated to fighting against it before, it seems to be called...

——Candle... Chasing what... Big moths are coming?

——Ah, because he is too weak, he is often killed by Honkai, and he will be killed soon, so he has no chance to talk to him. He only heard about it occasionally, but he can't remember it at all.

——But that's right, if they had a way to deal with Honkai, they wouldn't be killed so many times.

——In the end, you still have to figure out your own way.

Chapter 14: Don't play with food casually! (angry

Mr. Lie felt that after coming to the nursing home, he had more and more doubts.

The main reason why he went out to work so early was to find richer nutritional supplements for the cubs in the nursing home, and it was just a way to eliminate the Houkai Beast.

That is to say, in Lie's perception, what he brought back was food, which was food for the cubs to supplement nutrition, prevent stunting and decline in immunity - he didn't kill the bloodletting directly, but chose to wrap it around The stone was brought back with the legs tied, but it was only because there was no freezer that it was not easy to store, so it would be better to bring it back and discuss with Aponia about how to deal with it!

But what does he see now?

These little devils are actually playing with food!

And besides, Aponia not only didn't stop them, but also squatted down and smiled to accompany them to play around, answering and explaining a few words from time to time.

Lie couldn't understand the joyful and warm scene in front of him, but he was greatly shocked!

——If you don’t understand Lie’s mood at this moment, just imagine that one day you kindly sent a big bucket of crispy chicken to your foodie sand sculpture roommates. But I found that these groups of people not only did not show off their mouths, but played Star Wars with them, the golden crispy skin was flying all over the sky, the sweet and fragrant juice overflowed everywhere, and even made the screens of various electronic devices greasy...

——Is it a fist?

——Gan Linniang, don't play with food, shit!

However, after all, it was the weak-tempered Lie, even if this kind of thing happened, even if his mind was shocked, he still didn't get angry, but he was confused and his mood was a little complicated.

A sharp-eyed child caught a glimpse of Lie from the corner of his eye, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Brother Lie is here!"

"Ah! Really!"

"Brother Lie, come here quickly, this little rabbit is very dear! Hold it with your hands and it won't move around!"

"Idiot, it's obviously because I was so scared that I didn't respond!"

"Ah, so, isn't brother lie here..."

"No wonder these little guys suddenly became active from the very beginning, thumping around..."

"..."

Lie walked to Aponia's side in silence, leaned on his knees and bent down, tilted his head to look at Aponia, and asked in confusion, "...what are you doing?"

Abonia, who was immersed in the interaction with the children, didn't notice Lie's approach until he asked aloud to be surprised, but the surprised emotion only stayed for a moment, and soon her face regained tenderness. smile: "As you can see, I am playing with the children."

Lie shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this...I mean, why do you play with food? The teacher once said that food is very precious and you can't play with it. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"food?"

Aponia was taken aback for a moment, then realized it after a while, and replied with a little embarrassment: "...I know your original intention is to supplement nutrition for the children, but aren't these small animals cute in appearance? So Children take it for granted that they want to be close to them, just like pets."

Hearing this, Lie couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and couldn't help repeating in his mouth: "It's like treating a pet..."

——Because of its cute appearance, it is regarded as a pet instead of food?

Seeing Lie frowned and lost in thought, but looked puzzled, Aponia thought for a while, and added: "Well, I need to add a little more, because they are alive, and their appearance is very beautiful. Completely, if you deal with them in advance, then the children will not find it cute, well, most people are also..."

After listening to Aponia's explanation, Lie finally realized something: "Oh, that is to say, for most people, the appearance of these foods meets the definition of cute in their aesthetics, right, so after they are alive and complete People want to play and interact with them when they are food."

Hearing this, Aponiya always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell, so she continued to add patiently: "Well, although there is a little deviation, it is generally like this... Also, not everyone knows Those who regard them as food, and many people will regard these little creatures as pets, natural spirits and human companions, and will take the initiative to remove them from the recipe and respond with a friendly attitude.”

Lie subconsciously asked: "On the premise that your own safety is not threatened?"

Aponia nodded and said: "Yes, the survival instincts of all creatures are common. Dogs will jump over walls when they are in a hurry, and rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. When humans feel threatened, they will naturally take measures within their ability or resist. , or eliminate, or stay away from these risk factors that will hurt yourself."

Lie replied with a face of approval: "Yeah, I'm familiar with this. When you feel that there is no threat from the other side, you will subconsciously relax your vigilance, and once you feel that there is a threat from the other side, even if it only causes a little skin trauma, you will immediately change your face." , changing attitudes and behaviors — it’s very human.”

"..."

——It always seemed weird, although there was no hint of irony in Lie's tone.

After hesitating for a moment, Aponia still couldn't help asking: "Lie, do you have prejudice and disgust towards human beings?"

Lie tilted his head, and the dull hair on his head bent into a hook shape according to the owner's mood, like an upside-down question mark, "No, why does Aponia think so?"

"Eh..." Gazing at Lie's pure and innocent cute appearance, Aponia suddenly fell silent, then sighed as if giving up, and explained helplessly, "What Lie just said is very similar to a mocking sentence pattern." ——Although you don’t seem to have that intention.”

"Huh?" Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by Lie Geng, "Is there any problem with this sentence?"

"...Forget it, don't mention this, Lie, what do you think of human beings?"

"What do you think? They are both part of the natural world, but the direction of evolution is different from other creatures. They are all creatures, so how can you look at them?"

Lie thought for a long time, and added uncertainly: "Hmm - it's strange to be able to communicate and make tools? It's powerful and weak at the same time?"

--really.

Although I have already guessed in my heart, when I really heard Lie say it, Aponia still felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, Lie's first teacher was a reliable enough person to teach Lie to this point It is not easy.

Although it has no likes or dislikes towards humans, its attitude towards humans will unconsciously favor the friendly side because of the teachings of its teachers.

After Aponia breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered that she still had something to ask, "By the way, Lie, I still have a little doubt, why did you bring these little animals back alive? Does it hurt at all, but only restricts their ability to move? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to process them in advance if they want to use them as food?”

Lie replied without hesitation: "Because the freezer here is broken, so bring them back alive first, and see if you have any way to preserve them for a long time—for example, make cured meat, dried meat or something."

"..."

——The most frightening thing is that the air is suddenly quiet.

——Fuck, it’s a blind spot of knowledge.

It's rare to be relied on by Lie once, but she can't do anything herself. Aponia felt embarrassed for a moment, and she couldn't help lowering her head and whispering softly: "Um... sorry, Lie, I may let you down..."

"Oh, it's fine if you don't understand, but there must be someone who understands this in such a big Twilight Street. Just find out and ask for advice. Let's deal with the meal in front of us first..."

Before the words were finished, a petite figure suddenly emerged from between Lie and Aponia. It was Xiaolu who was holding a little white rabbit and refused to let go. In front of Yahelie, he seemed to have something to say to them——

So Alponia and Lie stopped talking, looked peacefully at the little Ritsu in front of them, and waited quietly for her speech, during which Alponia gave her an encouraging look.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Lu's little face was flushed red, she took several deep breaths in a row, and then she mustered up the courage, and stammered: "Brother Lie, sister Aponia, I know this is very capricious, I'm very naughty, and I know that these are the prey that Brother Lie worked so hard to hunt for us before dawn. I feel very sorry for Brother Lie, but, but... the rabbit and the bird are so cute, so pitiful... "

The more the law spoke, the quieter it became, and in the end it was almost as thin as a mosquito, and the expression on his face became ashamed, blaming himself, as if he was about to cry: "So... can we not eat rabbits? With the little bird?"

Chapter 15: Protein is important! (Grandfather face

"So...can we not eat bunnies and birds?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu's little face flushed red, she lowered her head in shame, like an ostrich trying to bury her head in the ground, her eyes were closed tightly, and she stopped speaking, as if the words just now had been overwhelmed. exhausted her courage.

However, there was a deviation in Lie's understanding: "Don't worry, I won't let you eat them alive like this. Aponia and I will be responsible for processing them into what food should look like, and won't let you have a heart burden."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao's body suddenly trembled violently, like a child who has been severely reprimanded by his parents for doing something wrong, tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably, and the turbulent emotions suddenly turned into small and pitiful sobs.

"???"
