Arknights, the new kid Kevin no longer has to save the world

"Yes."

"The old beast is approaching, evil spirits are knocking on its doorstep, and now there are such changes... It's such a troubled time, how long can the peace of Great Yan last for hundreds of years? Forget it, let's wait and see first, it's not a good idea to provoke it."

Chapter 72 The World in the Picture

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed quickly.

The people in Gouwu City gradually learned that a kind-hearted couple lived in the large house in the east of the city.

There is no way, even if they don't want to know, the children who come back from playing at home will chatter with them.

The hostess of that house gave them many snacks and so on...

They were wary at first, but as time and frequency gradually increased, they let it go.

Judging by her face, the hostess of the house does not look like someone with ulterior motives or meanness. On the contrary, she makes people feel quite friendly.

"Hey?! You don't have to bring so many things next time you come."

Hongxue was flattered and took the basket. The old woman looked like she wouldn't leave until she accepted it.

"You gave my useless grandson snacks and taught him how to read. I don't have any other skills. I only have some radish and green vegetables grown at home..."

"Hey, okay, I'll take it, why don't you take it?"

.......

"Hey!"

Carrying the vegetable basket, Hongxue picked up two big radishes and walked to the kitchen.

"Is it a gift from another family again?"

"Well, she is the grandma of the child yesterday."

"Next time you go shopping for groceries, just take care of her family's business."

Kevin said calmly, it has nothing to do with who owes whom, favors are inevitable after all.

"Miss Hongxue, are you going on an outing with your husband again?"

"Well, let's go take a look at Huiqi Mountain."

"Oh, that's far away. How about renting some beasts of burden? If it's Miss Hongxue, it's free."

The woman feeding the horse smiled warmly.

"No need, since it's an outing, of course you have to walk there."

Hongxue put on a more powerful outfit with a Dayan style and black boots, giving her a bit of a heroine vibe.

Kevin was still in his casual clothes, with his hands in his pockets.

The two of them walked all morning before finally arriving at the foot of Huiqi Mountain before the sun was in the center.

There are rugged rocks and tall pines. Hongxue holds a pancake in her mouth and breathes in the fresh mountain air, with a smile on her lips.

This was the life she was looking forward to, without dark political struggles, dangerous wars, and intrigues between villains...

"It's a beautiful scenery, but the travel guide Lucille gave me is actually quite useful."

In her spare time, with Kevin's permission, she occasionally

I will also look through his books.

But she didn't expect that one of the marked attractions was near Gouwucheng, which made her look forward to it.

Fortunately, Kevin didn't mind indulging her little willfulness, so what happened today happened.

"Well, although that guy charges money to do things, in most cases he gets value for money."

Kevin agrees with Afdoja.

Greed for money is sometimes not a shortcoming, but at least Lucille did meet her own requirements.

"Hey, wait, why is there a hut here?"

Luper's excellent eyesight allowed her to notice something strange in the distance.

At the foot of Huiqi Mountain, a hut stood on a rare flat land. It had no water or electricity. It was really nice to live in such a place.

dong dong dong-

"Hello, is anyone there?"

There was a knock on the door, but disappointingly, there was no response from inside the house.

"It seems that the people who live here are not here."

Hongxue looked around and saw that there were basically no traces of anyone living around. It was overgrown with weeds and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a while.

"Let's go."

She had no intention of pushing the door open and taking a look. In fact, she had always been able to curb her curiosity very well.

It was weird enough that a hut stood here, if there were any traps or something inside... Hmm, she didn't want Kevin to worry about such a trivial matter.

"Ah."

The two of them turned around and were planning to continue walking to the top of the mountain.

But they were not in a hurry, but the beings who were watching here began to be anxious.

Shouldn't normal people open the door and look around out of curiosity?Maybe I didn't hear it?

What's the point of turning around and leaving?

I saw the thatched house trembling undetectably, the thatch on the roof rising slightly, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed drastically.

All the colors between heaven and earth quickly faded into pure black and white.

The sky, streets, villages... one after another, lifelike things appeared out of thin air, and the originally silent mountains and forests turned into a noisy and lively market.

People come and go, and in this world where color has faded, they, as well as Kevin and Afdoja, are the only "people" who have color, not monotonous black and white.

"here is?!"

She looked at all this in shock.

Weren't she and Kevin still at the foothills of Huiqi Mountain just now?Why are you here all of a sudden?

"Is it an illusion? No, no, this is the real world?"

He touched the stone slab on the ground, and felt a hard touch. Every sense told him that this was the real world.

but,

In the sky, the sun and moon hang high at the same time, one side is night and the other is day, and the intersection between dawn and dusk is clearly defined.

This does not look like a real place, as if the initiator of everything deliberately showed all kinds of irrationality.

In other words, she never thought of hiding it at all.

Hongxue's ears stood up, and she stayed away from the pedestrians on the street with caution, leaning next to Kevin, ignoring their strange looks.

hum-

The sun and moon shook, and the pedestrians on the street looked up in horror, only to see the paths of the twin stars intertwining, circling, and finally staying in opposite positions.

Day and night were reversed, and strange creatures with black backs and white bellies crawled out from all over the street, attacking the surrounding pedestrians crazily.

"Gah—!!"

"Help, this thing is eating people!"

"Who can help me!"

"Tips for carving insects."

Clusters of ice spikes accurately pierced each ink monster into a gourd, and the ink-like water flowing in the river was frozen and completely stagnated.

"Not bad skills, but that's all."

Glancing at Afdoja behind him, the Heavenly Fire Holy Seal in Kevin's hand slowly dissipated.

His eyes were cold, and he turned one hand into a claw and waved it horizontally.

The huge figure with an unclear outline slowly reappeared behind him, following his movements, raising its claws and swiping horizontally!

Under those invincible claws, the great sun!Bright moon!Even the entire sky!They were all like a fragile white paper being torn apart without mercy.

The scenery disappears, the people disappear, everything is like a dream.

Instead, there was the true appearance of a poor thatched house, and two...women?

Ling grabbed the wine bottle and laughed.

"Sister Gua, if you are willing to admit defeat, leave the blank spaces in these paintings to me."

"Book it up, just take it."

Xi's face couldn't stink any more, and she said with disgust.

Chapter 73 Xigua

"Miss Ling? And this one?"

Hongxue is not sure.

There is a woman sitting cross-legged next to him. She has smoky eyes and thrush, and her green silk is draped over her shoulders like a waterfall. Two green dragon horns like tree branches sprout from her forehead. Her green landscape cheongsam makes her alluring body perfect. presented.

src = "

"It turns out you were the initiators."

Kevin crossed his arms, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Perhaps they should be thankful that he didn't respond as if he were actually facing the enemy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the "painting" that would be torn off abruptly.

He glanced at the long scroll on the ground that seemed to be torn into pieces by unknown creatures, and he could vaguely see the dots of ink stains scattered, rippling, and mushy.

"This person is just as difficult to deal with as that old guy, but your methods are more rough."

Xi didn't feel bad about what he said on the ground. Anyway, she couldn't help but take the initiative to test him after being prodded a few times.

Now that it has been torn apart, I naturally have nothing to say. Anyway, I have been nesting in this gray mountain for a long time. If nothing else, I still have a lot of paintings.

Xi is a stay-at-home girl, not a xxx, so of course unreasonable things will not happen to her.

Oh, maybe there is one of the main reasons. She can't beat him, so she doesn't want to increase the amount of exercise for nothing.

"Sorry, sorry, haha, this is my sister, called Xi. I just made a bet while drunk, but unexpectedly she turned out to be more serious..."

Ling rubbed the gourd and suddenly had an idea.

The slender dragon's tail was stained with ink on the inkstone beside it, and the pen was filled with flowers. The blank spaces of the two scrolls on the table were filled with poems about flying dragons and phoenixes.

Xi Xiang couldn't stand this guy who liked to scribble on her blank spaces, but due to the bet, she had no choice but to endure it with a shameful face.

"It's done. Let's take these two paintings as an apology to you."

"Huh? Uh...uh!"

Ling covered Xi's mouth, ignoring the look in his eyes full of shock and questioning. He twitched his dragon's tail, neatly rolled up the scroll, circled the two rolled scrolls and handed them to the two of them.

"This...not so good?"

Hongxue was not embarrassed to take it, but smiled awkwardly.

After all, Miss Xi didn't look like she was voluntary. She was staring at her eldest sister with her smoky eyes, and she was about to burst into flames.

Although he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying, he must have used all the "polite expressions" he had learned over the years.

"It's okay, just keep it a little careful. But don't blame me, my little sister."

Ling had said all the good and bad things to her. Xi was tired and she didn't want to struggle anymore. It was just two paintings, so just give them away.

"let me go."

"Hey, good."

Seeing Xi finally calmed down, Ling Sansan smiled dryly and let go of his hand.

"Huh~, let me tell you in advance that my painting is different from ordinary paintings. I am stingy with the ink color. The other world is much more charming than reality, but don't fall into it accidentally."
