boy of science

Chapter 266 Chapter 266: "Almost, this is my goddaughter."

Leitili's immortality was a not-so-beautiful accident. She didn't know those fairy fruits would have such an effect.

Bai Ye's immortality is the result of deliberate pursuit.

That's why their attitudes towards "immortality" are so different.

Hearing Leitili's reminder, Bai Ye glanced at her, and then asked as if nothing had happened: "Are you going to commit suicide again?"

He even knows this...

Leitili was not surprised either. The young man even knew what happened 800 years ago, let alone the past few hundred years.

She didn't hide it, but nodded and admitted it.

"Yes."

"Can't you just commit suicide?"

"..."

Ridley was silent for a while.

Don’t commit suicide…

If you don't die, why are you still alive?

She is bored.

Tired of being "alive".

"People have to die, I'm just moving towards the right outcome."

"What is right? What is wrong?"

"...do you want to discuss philosophical matters with me?"

"No, I don't have that leisure time."

Bai Ye shook his head.

Holding Leitili's hand and walking on the busy street, he turned his head and smiled at her: "I just don't think you need to commit suicide."

"...After you live for hundreds of thousands of years, you will probably want to commit suicide."

"I do not know."

"……Won't?"

"Certainly not."

Bai Ye stared ahead, the smile on his face unchanged.

"A few hundred years ago was the scientific enlightenment and thousands of years ago was the emergence of civilization. At that time, no one could have imagined that the world would become what it is now. Can you imagine what the world will be like a few hundred years from now? Thousands of years from now Woolen cloth?"

"...I can't think of it."

"Many people want to see what the world will be like in the future, but they don't have the chance. Unlike you, you can see the world in the future. The unknown world is waiting for you, so why commit suicide? "

One of the original intentions of Qi practitioners in pursuing immortality is to see the world in the future.

It’s to witness it with your own eyes, not to see it through magic.

The future seen by the spell is not necessarily the future that will actually be reached.

Leitili was silent for a long time, then continued: "The future means nothing to me."

"The future does not have much meaning. What is meaningful is the present and living. As long as you live, you can always find interesting things and meaningful things."

"……yes?"

"Yeah, for example, like me, running out to molest a girl, Lolita, etc."

"...is this interesting?"

"The key is not that this kind of thing is interesting or boring, the key is whether you think it is interesting. As long as you are willing, even squatting on the roadside and counting ants is fun."

"..."

Leitili neither agreed nor refuted.

She has thought about suicide for hundreds of years, and she has put it into action many times, but she will not change her mind just because of Bai Ye's few words.

Bai Ye didn't want to say (shuo) that he admired her, he just wanted to say (shui) that he admired her.

So he started to set a trap for Leitili again: "Otherwise, let's make a bet."

"……bet?"

"Let's bet on whether you can succeed in committing suicide. If you succeed... then you will die. Nothing else matters. If you fail, you will not be allowed to commit suicide in the future. How about that?"

"..."

Leitili did not answer immediately, but was thinking.

After a long time, he looked up at the young man next to him: "I don't think there is any need to bet on this with you."

To put it bluntly, she just wasn't confident.

He had committed suicide so many times in the past without dying, and he might not be able to die this time either.

If she failed, she would find another way and another opportunity.

"It's not necessary."

Bai Ye nodded slightly, seeming to agree with this statement.

Then the conversation changed: "But what does it have to do with me whether you think it's necessary? As long as I think it's necessary, that's fine."

"..." These words sounded a bit familiar.

Leitili didn't think about it, just glanced at the boy beside her: "Have you always been so domineering?"

"Domineering? No."

"I think so."

"Um……"

Bai Ye thought about it carefully and then ignored the topic.

"Anyway, it's been decided. If you fail, I will take you home. From now on, you have to obey me. The first thing is to prohibit suicide."

"...Are you going to stop me?"

"No, I won't make a move, someone else will stop you."

"..."

Leitili was silent again.

After a long while, he sighed softly and did not discuss this topic again.

Bai Ye also pulled her to stop.

"arrive."

"???"

Leitili followed his gaze and found that it was a children's paradise.

"...Do you think I'm a child?"

"When the heart gets old, it makes us want to die, so we have to keep a childish innocence, a positive attitude, and simple thoughts, so that we don't think about suicide all day long."

"Even if you say so..."

"Let's go and play with the little girls, Jiaqiejiang, I'm already here, come out quickly."

"dad."

Soon a little girl appeared and ran towards Bai Ye.

Leitili looked at the little girl and then at Bai Ye: "You already have a child?"

"Almost, this is my goddaughter."

"...???"

Leitili couldn't quite understand.

But I didn’t ask too much, it wasn’t important anyway.

And there is a reason why Bai Ye calls out the girl: staying with a real little girl can help her regain her innocence.

In fact, it's not just Jiaqie, but also Jenny, Feibli, and the last one.

Umi Aya is also there.

There was also a girl with white hair and red eyes.

Several little girls followed and ran out, and under Bai Ye's instructions, they forced Retili to play.

Byakuya, on the other hand, walked up to Yusai Uimi.

"Umi-chan, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"

"...Master, we call or send emails every day."

"After all, it's not as good as a real meeting."

"..."

The boys and girls started chatting like this.

The white-haired and red-eyed girl who followed stood beside her, her eyes were fixed on Bai Ye, probably because she was curious about him.

After all, this boy seemed to be able to nullify her abilities.

But when he looked at it, he quickly looked away, because the boy and girl were already hugging him and starting to kiss.

……

Byakuya was there helping Leitili find her childlike innocence, but Misaka Mikoto here encountered many things.

In the front, I got Yubiao Danxi, but in the back, Hiiragi Yuan Xiangji appeared.

There is also a magician involved behind this.

A magician who is good at dealing with the dead. He used magic on the remains of a great magician, but failed to deal with Aleister.

So he suspected that Aleister was not dead, and finally found Academy City, trying to summon Aleister's dead soul here.

Of course, the matter is not only that, but also involves a conspiracy to destroy Academy City.

Misaka Mikoto was helpless.

"This city is really in trouble."

Although it's troublesome, it can't be ignored, after all, Academy City is the only shelter for those with abilities like them.

Anyway, let's get this thing over with.
