Opposite Lu Xin, Kid was silent and did not speak.
She still didn't like to talk, but there was clearly something in her expression.
Lu Xin couldn't tell whether it was sadness or a feeling of emotion. I could only feel keenly that there was something more in Kid's always clear eyes than before. It might be light, or it might be something more complicated. This kind of thing makes the eyes look big and lifeless at ordinary times. More often, the indifferent face, which usually has an empty expression, Kid, was a little more angry.
"You are a girl who seems to have little connection with this city, or even with this world."
Lu Xin is also a stupid person, but because he knows that the only one who can tell Kid at this time is himself.
So he tried hard to express himself clearly enough. "I know, and the people following you also know that if you are asked to go to that position without telling you, you will not refuse, but I still hope you understand before going..."
"I don't know how to make you understand, so I can only show you these feelings."
"These are things that I think are pretty good, so I share them with you."
"Only when you feel this can I ask you such a question..."
"..."
He looked at Kid gently and said, "Are you willing to protect them?"
Kid was silent, thinking about this question seriously. After a long time, she nodded lightly.
Lu Xin suddenly felt relieved.
Although he knew that if he didn't make these efforts and asked Kid directly, the answer he would get would be the same.
However, after trying hard to make Kid understand, and then deciding whether to nod, the meaning is a little different.
He felt as if he had done something special.
However, before the smile appeared on his face, Kid suddenly looked at him steadily again.
Her eyes were firm, but also questioning, very serious.
"What about you?"
Lu Xin was slightly startled.
After a moment of reaction, Lu Xin finally understood what Kid meant.
She is too simple.
So simple that all the choices feel real.
As for whether she is willing to accept Qinggang's plan, for the purpose of protecting Qinggang, Kid is of course willing. However, Kid also has her own persistence. There is a kind of inquiry in her eyes, which is asking for her own opinion.
Kid is a girl who is willing to protect Qinggang, but is also unwilling to give up her own life and pursuit.
After understanding these thoughts in Kid's heart, Lu Xin even developed a respect for her.
He discovered that not only did he teach Kid something on this day.
Kid also taught himself something.
So he thought carefully and then answered with a smile:
"If you are asking me if I am willing to let you agree, then what I can answer is..."
"I personally like this city very much."
"I think life is pretty good now. If you work hard, you can get generous rewards."
"Children without a family can live a good life in a place with swings and fruit trees."
"A cute little girl will refuse to sell her soul to complete the mission..."
"People in this city, even though they know they are weak, still choose to stand up and fight against pollution..."
"..."
"He's certainly not good enough, but everyone I see is trying."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, "So, I also hope to protect this kind of life."
Kid looked at Lu Xin's face seriously.
When he saw the smile on Lu Xin's face, he seemed a little confused.
But she still felt that Lu Xin's words were sincere.
So she nodded seriously, and her smile began to slowly appear on her face.
"But, I have to answer you honestly..."
Lu Xin didn't wait for Kid to say anything again, and then spoke softly. At this time, his face was still very sincere and calm. "Once you choose to become Mental Lord, then you may have to stay here forever, and my words..."
He paused for a moment and then said softly, "I may not stay in Qinggang forever."
"After all, I still have some things to do, and I think I have worked very hard, but I have to admit..."
"Maybe I can never really be them..."
"..."
Kid's expression suddenly froze, and an indescribable sadness rose in her eyes.
In the cars behind, there were countless worried eyes looking at the car in front, waiting for the answer from that car.
Having achieved their status, it is rare to feel so worried and anxious.
"A single soldier brought Kid to see these. What does it mean?"
They are not the only ones who are also worried, there are also people who have not followed, who are also waiting for this answer.
Someone called the video call over and over again and asked anxiously, "We could have chosen not to ask the individual soldier's opinion, but we did. We could have directly asked Kid to agree to the matter, but we still took such a big detour. We..."
Professor Bai was sitting in the back seat, closing his eyes and concentrating, paying no attention to such anxious inquiries.
Only Mr. Su can handle these matters.
On his round face, the muscles were too tight and lines appeared. He said with a cold face:
"In this case, there is no need to ask anymore. It was you who were hesitant before whether such a project could be started. Now it is you who are eagerly and anxiously waiting for the results. If we are so anxious to finalize this matter, do you really think we can relax?"
The person on the other end of the phone said angrily, "We are just worried..."
"You're not worried, you're panicking!"
Mr. Su showed a rare cold side and said, "You are just worried that such a matter cannot be grasped by you."
The other party was slightly speechless and speechless.
Mr. Su looked at the phone quietly and said seriously, "I will tell you the results as soon as they come out."
"But what you need to understand is that this matter is not in your hands now."
"Never again."
"Heavenly Kingdom Plan belongs to Qinggang. It will not be in the hands of a certain person with abilities, let alone one of us."
"..."
After saying this, he turned off the call directly with no expression on his face.
Then, he sat quietly, suddenly took a long breath, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This is indeed a long time to wait, isn't it?"
He couldn't help complaining to Professor Bai next to him, and whispered, "This is almost a circle around Main City..."
"It's good to be a little longer."
Professor Bai seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but he immediately answered Mr. Su's words.
"The longer it takes, the more serious they are about this issue."
"..."
"Oh, don't say such things now..."
Mr. Su lightly slapped his thigh and looked at Professor Bai complainingly. "Now I prefer to hear that everything you say is real. Because I believe you, so I dealt with it and convinced several other people to unanimously agree to launch this project. But Lao Bai, to be honest, since I agreed to this matter, my heart has been hanging..."
"There are too many variables..."
"Every change is like bungee jumping..."
"Old Bai, don't sleep. Open your eyes and look at me. Look at my figure now..."
"I weigh two hundred pounds and am sixty-five years old. How can you bear to let me bungee jump every day? You..."
"..."
"Don't talk about bungee jumping."
Professor Bai was so annoyed by him that he finally opened his eyes, looked forward, sighed softly, and said, "The bungee jump is still tied with a rope, but now we, even if there is no rope, we still have to close our eyes and jump..."
"Do you really think we have a choice now?"
"There are some things you can't tell others..."
"Mental Lord will definitely appear."
His voice suddenly became very heavy, even serious. "Since Technological Church left those materials, or in other words, since they started to attack Happy Town, a door has been opened. The fourth step in Eclipse Research Institute's mouth has been destined to be on the stage under Crimson Moon since then. This is not a question of whether we are willing or not, but destiny."
"Even if we don't choose to build Heavenly Kingdom Plan ourselves now, Mental Lord will come to Qinggang..."
He paused slightly, with an indescribable subtle touch on his expression, and said softly, "When some wild ability users come to our Qinggang and use their fourth-level abilities to forcefully rule Qinggang, do you think we will have room to fight back?"
Mr. Su also suddenly fell silent, crossing his fingers and holding them together hard.
After a moment, he suddenly spoke, his voice a little hoarse. "It's like...Sea Nation?"
"Maybe it's more serious than that."
Professor Bai replied in a low voice, and after a while, he said again:
"I have always said that we in Qinggang are lucky, but I don't actually mean the information picked up from Technological Church."
"In fact, the appearance of these information was so coincidental that it made me uneasy."
"To this day, I'm not sure if it's a gift or a challenge."
"..."
"..."
"When I say we are lucky, I actually mean many other factors..."
"Like an individual soldier, like Kid, like you and me, like all the people in this city..."
"If the individual soldiers do not agree with our plan, then we will have no possibility of executing this plan. If we do not have Kid, then Heavenly Kingdom Plan will also make many people uneasy. If we do not consider Heavenly Kingdom Plan from the beginning, then even if we get this information, we will not be able to figure out how to use this information reasonably quickly..."
"Qinggang's journey to this point is more dangerous than walking on a tightrope. If you make a mistake every step, you will not be in the good situation now."
"But now that the current situation is here, we can think:"
"This situation is what we deserve."
"..."
Mr. Su was stunned for a while after hearing this, and his Adam's apple rolled a few times. After a while, he said, "I only know how to talk to Xini, so it's hard to talk to you at this time, but to be honest, you seem to have said so much. Did you still not answer my question just now?"
Professor Bai also wiped his hair helplessly and said with a smile, "Is this important?"
"Just like the last words sent by a single soldier just now, almost no one's last wish was fulfilled, but..."
"This is the life we want to see..."
"As long as this kind of life is something that most people are willing to see and love."
"We don't have to worry about not having anyone to protect him."
"..."
"..."
In the car in front, Lu Xin saw a trace of sadness in Kid's eyes.
When she had already taken the initiative to make a very important decision, she suddenly heard that she was about to leave, and the expression on her face suddenly became tangled. This was an expression that it was almost difficult to believe would appear on Kid's face unless she saw it with her own eyes. After all, entanglement comes from choice, which is essentially a desire, and Kid's desire for this world has always been very small.
Lu Xin looked at her expression and suddenly felt a little happy.
After admiring it for a while, he held her hand and said with a smile, "I may not stay here forever."
"But if I've been away for a long time, there's always a place where I'll come back."
"Same here."
"..."
Kid blinked. This time she understood, and a surprised smile gradually appeared on her face.
