Why it never ends

Chapter 82 Jane's Answer

Chiba thought for a while before remembering what the "those words" in Valenti's mouth referred to.

She shook her head, "I didn't teach that in detail. The whole process was thought up by Jane herself. I helped her solve the weapons and maps, and by the way, I took her to visit the floor she was on a few times."

"That's even more amazing," Valenti said softly. "Whether it's out of intuition or observation, it's amazing that Jane can hit the nail on the head, because she said exactly what Sean was most afraid of hearing. At that moment of confrontation, she may have completely shattered the defense that Sean had carefully built over the past two years—although it was in a, um...too rough way."

"so?"

"After this battle, it is impossible for Sean to think of taming Jane anymore, because it is impossible. Her inner self is much harder and stronger than her appearance. Although Jane's past material environment It may be very bad, but she has been watered by many people with common love. Since she has been truly loved and knows what it is like to be cared for, it is impossible for Sean's tricks of adding sugar to be cheated she.

"Even if she loses everything, it is impossible for Jane to lose herself and become someone else's vassal willingly. In contrast, Sean is full of ugliness. With Sean's character, I think not only will he not get close to Jane in the future, but He will try every means to actively avoid her - Sean has always been very smart in this regard, and he withdraws quickly after clarifying the outcome of a matter, and he will never be inexplicably stubborn."

"...Are you praising him?"

"Maybe...forget it?" Valenti smiled, "I think this crisis may also be an opportunity for Sean. His barrier is too thick, except for Calvin, no one in the base can touch it." His sincerity may sometimes be difficult for Calvin to touch. The Hekla Wasteland is so special, and he had such a serious accident when he entered the base... It is really difficult to clear the clouds and talk to him frankly .

"As for how people like them should live in the Habitable Land, Calvin used to be a pretty good answer, but now, Jane has given another answer."

"How to say?"

Valenti thought for a while, "Calvin never cares about how other people think of him, he doesn't care what's going on outside, and he rarely thinks about issues that haven't happened, he only does what he should do now.

"More importantly, all of Calvin's wishes are very specific: for example, to buy a big two-story house, to have a [-]-square-meter backyard and a cellar, and he will raise three dogs in the yard... and so on, In the past two years, he has been getting closer to this goal every day.

"And Jane's answer will be more gentle, but also more rare-in a livable place, sometimes you will be lucky to meet friends like Liz, who will take care of you and help you. When you show kindness, you can also give back to them with the same kindness. This is how the connection between people is established. Maybe Calvin and Sean will encounter such an opportunity in the future, although it takes a little bit Luck...but not necessarily impossible."

Chiba looked at Valenti quietly.

"Why are you looking at me like that again?" Valenti asked.

"When can I hear you analyze Jane's mental journey like this."

"It's not possible now, it's too difficult, Masaki," Valenti shook her head and laughed, "To this day, we still don't know much about Miss Hester's past-but I don't think you need to be too hard on her Worry."

"Huh? Are you too optimistic..."

"Of course I say that for a reason. When you asked me to find her in the parking lot the other day, I asked her a question." Valenti smiled. "I asked her, 'That day—— The day you encountered chelate in the underground base, when you found a barrier door in the hallway that could be opened and closed by hand, why did you choose to risk turning back instead of putting the door down immediately?', you guessed, Jane's answer was what?"

"Ok?"

"Jane said, 'Because Turan is in the safe room, she might need help.'" Valenti whispered, "She was once told, 'The more difficult our situation is, the more we should help each other. This is the beginning of our civilization'."

For a moment, Qianye's heart was really shocked by this answer.

She was silent for a long time before she asked, "...who taught her this?"

Valenti clasped her hands together, "It seems to be the nuns of St. Anne's Abbey, what an awe-inspiring answer..."

After a while, Valenti moved to Chiba's side, "What about you, Masaki?"

"What am I?"

"Is there anything you need help with now, or in the past few days?"

Qianye frowned first, then looked away, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"That day, you suddenly released Jane as a pigeon, and you didn't show up at the base at all these days... I still feel quite strange. You rarely miss appointments like this suddenly. What happened?" Valenti put her hands on the ground Behind him, his eyes were always looking at Qianye's side face, "If you want, you can talk to me."

Qianye sat on the spot, just shaking her head, she gradually relaxed and lowered her head, propped her forehead with her hands, and remained silent wearily.

After a while, Qianye finally said in a low voice, "It's nothing, Molly and I...have a little disagreement, I've been thinking about it for the past few days."

"what's up?"

"It's okay, just...a little tired."

"It's really all right?"

Chiba sighed, she leaned forward, and gently fell on Valenti's shoulder.

Under the night, Tan Yi's old town was outlined in a faint warm light by the street lamps. Qianye looked at the time, and in 40 more minutes, she should set off.

"Valenti."

"Ok?"

"Do you think I can make a good guardian?"

Valenti's eyes widened slightly—she was genuinely surprised by Chiba's question, but then she chuckled again.

"I don't know...I've been doubting recently whether I can be a good consultant at the base."

"...Why?" Chiba looked at her, "Is there anything you haven't done well enough?"

Valenti hugged her knees.

"It's just...the longer I grow up with them, the more I feel that what I can do is limited.

"What I've found is that for some kids, there are certain walls that they have to run into, and get their heads bloody, before they start listening to other people and looking for other ways.

"As for other children, even if they hit their heads and bleed, they are not reconciled, and they have the urge to smash themselves on it... In addition to being able to accompany them by your side, remind them from time to time that maybe it's time What can I do if I change direction?

"What's more terrible, they are not ordinary children. If you expect them to be obedient and follow the rules, how can you expect them to be able to surprise on the dangerous battlefield after a few years? Maybe, for Jane, Turan, and Sean , that's all..."

Valenti looked at Chiba, "I don't understand, I have never been on a battlefield, what do you think?"
