Chapter 120 Lack of Empathy
At dawn, the Public Security Department received a report that Mrs. Favlan had died.

When the new security captain Lu Ge arrived with his soldiers, he found that Favlan had hanged himself in the kitchen of the warm bakery.

There were 300 silver moons neatly placed on the table next to the corpse, and piles of copper and iron moons. All the savings of the family of three during their lifetime were here.

A suicide note was left next to it, expressing the hope that the money would be donated to orphanages to help children who lost their parents.

Lu Ge led people to conduct a detailed investigation at the scene, and determined that it was not a homicide, so he invited an embalmer to bury him, and all the monthly coins were also donated according to the will.

In the administrative mansion, after Baiza heard the news, the blood on his face quickly faded, he stumbled towards the office, and knocked on the door frantically.

"Enter."

Baisa pushed the door open and said in a trembling voice, "My lord! Mrs. Favlan hanged herself."

Kino hugged the little black cat and was sorting out the report to be submitted to the Governor's Mansion, so he gave a faint "hmm".

"Huh??? Did you hear me clearly?! I said she has since" Baiza froze in the middle of speaking, recalling Kino's previous "farewell" in his mind.
Baiza's lips began to tremble, and he said in a daze, "You knew she wanted to kill herself"

Chino: "Yes."

Baiza lost control of his emotions: "Then why didn't you stop it?!"

"Stop it, then what?"

"Then...then let her survive!"

After finishing the last word of the report, Kino tidied it up and put it aside, and said calmly, "How do you want her to live? Her husband died a few months ago, and the family lost their support. Now the only daughter is also dead. , she has nothing to worry about in this world, and she has nothing to cherish, and a peaceful death is her final destination."

"We...we can enlighten her! Go and find her some...friends or something to visit more when you have time." Baisa hesitated, stumbled, and couldn't even convince himself when he said it, so he couldn't continue.

"Look, you've realized it too." Kino leaned back on the chair, stroking the cat once and for all, "When life loses its meaning, death becomes a relief. Don't stop a person who has a will to die , this is the most basic courtesy, isn't it?"

Baisa clenched his fists, and his tone was extremely unwilling: "We are discussing people, a real person! It's not as simple as throwing away the furniture when it breaks! Don't you have mood swings in your heart? You must have! At that time you ordered the city to be closed, Obviously angry!"

Kino said inexplicably: "Are you talking nonsense? I am the administrator of Twilight City. The extraterrestrials are killing people wantonly in my city and blasting them in the street. It is equivalent to slapping my prestige with a slap. angry?"

Baisa's eyes widened: "Prestige? Gone? Wendy's death didn't move you? It must have! You care about her, right?"

Chino: "Of course I care. Wendy is dead, and I will never eat such delicious honey oatmeal bread again."

At this moment, Baiza only felt that his heart was frozen.

From the first day when Chino changed in Xilin Town, Baixa had a feeling that this person was very strange, and his actions and thoughts revealed inadvertently always made people feel faintly uncomfortable.

Baiza didn't understand what the problem was at first, but now, he finally understood.

This is a man without empathy.

Kino is not the kind of cruel, bloodthirsty, cold-hearted murderer. On the contrary, his emotions are very diverse, not much different from ordinary people, he will be happy, angry, irritable, helpless and so on.

But he has no empathy.

He doesn't feel lost, sad, or empathize with other people's pain.

Regarding Wendy's matter, Baiza finally figured out why Chino was so annoyed at the time that he wanted to forcibly seal the city, but now it's as plain as smoke.

Does Chino like Wendy?Of course I like it, a cute, well-behaved and polite little girl who cooks you breakfast every day, who wouldn’t like it?

But here is the problem, for Chino, Wendy is just "something for breakfast" in his heart.

Just imagine, a gangster rushed into your house one day and blew up your kitchen without saying a word, are you angry?
Of course, you will be so angry that you want to kill him.

But after you kill him, you don't feel sorry for the kitchen, it's just a kitchen.

The kitchen is gone, just replace it.

In Chino's heart, Wendy is this kitchen.

He cherishes the kitchen and loves it because it makes his favorite honey oat bread.

If someone destroys this kitchen, he will be angry and let that person die badly.

But he doesn't grieve over a broken kitchen.

Because it's just a kitchen, that's all.

Understood.
finally understood.
Chino's mind.
This man is polite, always smiling, and has the air of a warm friend, and it is a very lucky thing to be liked by him.

If you are confused, he will talk to you about life, talk about the world, and teach you a lot of truths.

When you cry, he will wipe away your tears and help you solve the difficulties in life.

If you are hurt, he will avenge you and let the villain who hurt you die a good death.

However, he does not grieve for you, nor does he have any empathy for your pain.

Because you are not a living person in his eyes, but some kind of tool, part, or moving piece of meat.

There is no concept of "person" in his mind
I have to say that Baixa is both lucky and unlucky.

In this world, he might be the first to see through Kino.

But seeing through the matter of Chino itself is unfortunate.

Kino's hand stroking the little black cat slowly stopped, staring into Baixa's eyes, as if he wanted to find something in his eyes.

Gradually, a strange smile appeared in Kino's eyes: "Baiza, I found that you are a person with a great sense of justice, and you can't tolerate sand in your eyes."

Baisa lowered his head and said, "I am a soldier, and it is my duty to punish evil and promote good."

"Very well, that's what a good military commander should do." Kino's eyes were already smiling into crescents, "I'm not good at Mrs. Favlan's matter, and I will reflect on it. You go down first, I am proud of you."

Baiza nodded to Kino and turned to leave.

After Baiza left, Kino called out, "Guards, tell Paladin to come see me, thank you."

Twenty minutes later, Paladin came to the office: "My lord, are you looking for me?"

Kino asked casually: "How is Baiza's archery?"

Paladin looked proud, and said without hesitation: "One in a million, he was once the most famous archer in Xilin Town, and he could shoot a mosquito a hundred paces away."

The corners of Kino's lips slowly settled down, and an imperceptible cold light appeared in his pupils.

Paladin scratched his face: "My lord, why do you ask this suddenly?"

Kino put the little black cat on the table and began to write the document: "The Governor's Mansion wants me to write a personal report on the eight officials of Twilight City, so that I can be promoted in the future. I need to understand the martial arts of the military commander, you and him I know you the most, so I will ask you."

For his brother's good words, Paladin did not hesitate to praise him: "I can vouch for my personality, with Baisa's archery skills, let alone Xilin Town, no one in the entire Twilight City can match him!"

Chino nodded: "Baiza's archery skills are so superb, I will truthfully report to the Governor's Mansion. Thank you for your hard work, go get busy with the chamber of commerce."

"Okay, goodbye." Paladin nodded and left.

"By the way." Kino called him suddenly, and said with a smile, "I asked about archery, please keep it a secret for me, I want to leave some surprises for Baiza."

Paladin smiled: "Of course, I will."
