The Riddler Get Out of Terra

As for the kids who took his candy?

Of course they all ran back!

Why? !Why? !

Ino's chest heaved with anger at this reality, and he wished he could kill everyone with his Origin Stone skills, but he quickly controlled himself:

Teacher Tata said, you can't do this...

...did you really say that?

"..."

The boy looked at the bruised and purple skin that could not be hidden by his clothes in embarrassment, gritted his teeth, and did not intend to continue using the Origin Stone skills, but just returned home.

bang bang bang-

The sound of shoes hitting the floor surprised Ino. He couldn't help but stand there, staring at the source of the sound vigilantly——

It's the extremely thin Xi'er!

Chapter 28 A day in the life of an ordinary person

(Updated to [-] words in total) (Additional updates with monthly subscription!)

The girl ran over sneakily and eagerly. Ino looked at her with impatience and disgust, clenched his fists, and with the sum total of others desperate to save him, when the girl ran over with a little smile. At that moment, a straight punch hit her on the cheek!

bump--

The muffled sounds of flesh colliding were heard one after another, and the girl was knocked to the ground by Ino's punch. Her blue-purple hair was still as withered and yellow under the sun, and her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Ino blankly.

The boy's angry expression showed his hatred for her for not saving her.

Xi'er sniffed in grievance, and tears ran out of her eyes. Ino didn't care about this. He thought about the embarrassment of the five older children who surrounded him, punched and kicked him, and even took off all his clothes and pants. He became more and more angry. Yue Sheng wanted to take revenge on Xi'er for this humiliation.

But he quickly thought of the teacher's teachings, or in other words, if he really did this, Tartarus would punish him, so he had to reluctantly reach out his hand again and take Xi'er's arm. Lift her up.

The girl screamed, and Ino was so frightened that he almost made a move, but thinking of her embarrassment after being thrown to the ground again, he gritted his teeth and helped her up.

Xi'er's withered short hair could not cover the uncontrollable tears in her eyes. She sniffed and raised her right hand tremblingly. Ino looked at her movements in confusion, thinking that the little girl wanted to retaliate for his bullying, so he also gave him Give him a look.

Although Ino felt itchy with hatred at the thought of them eating sweets and refusing to save them, bullying a little girl was still a bit too much, so he propped himself up and raised his neck, hoping that the girl would fight back as well.

but.

Even if Ino closed his eyes and tried to endure the pain, he didn't feel much. Only when his covered body became a little cold, Ino realized that Xi'er had taken off his clothes. He opened his eyes angrily, thinking that the girl was planning to Stealing his own clothes and leaving him naked——

But he found that Xier was carefully rearranging his shirt, putting the shapes together on the flat floor, then stretched out his right hand, closed his eyes, and painfully pulled out the slender bone needles stuck in his fingers.

——Due to Ino's straight punch and incorrect posture of lifting the girl up, the bone needle penetrated deeply into her thin and dirty fingers. As soon as she pulled it out, drops of bright red blood emerged from the gap.

She took out another small ball of thread from the hidden place of her clothes. Even though her right hand was still bleeding, she carefully threaded the needle and thread in front of the dim sunset, sewing the cracks in Ino's thin clothes.

"..."

Ino opened her mouth and watched this skinny girl who was far from beautiful carefully sewing her clothes with needle and thread. Her face was swollen because of his punch, but she still sat there kneeling. Dressed in needlework.

Her body was thinner and smaller than his, and her thin clothes could not cover the exposed bones on her back. Her stomach was growling, but she still moved there carefully.

On that ball of thread, the small characters "Fifty Points·Xie'er" were posted viciously in an inconspicuous corner, but when Ino, who was so panicked that he didn't dare to look at Xi'er, saw it, his heart was like lightning. Suddenly I thought of Tartarus’ point-based material distribution:

"The current conditions are not good, and the children of infected people have to work even if they are sick. Although I will not arrange very tiring work, but because of this, their points will be very few - about two points a day."

With just such a small ball of thread, Xiao Xier had to do this kind of work that would make Ino dizzy for nearly a month!

But how long has she been here?Base No. [-] has only been established for just over a month!

Is that why she wants to eat a candy so much?

Ino's throat was clogged. He watched Xiao Xier move her fingers clumsily with the short thread, watched her blood stay on his clothes from time to time, and watched the girl lose the fruits of her hard work because of a candy. Take it out and give it to him.

And what did he do?

Ridiculously cowardly, angry and resentful, ignorant, narrow-minded and timid, he did not have the courage to resist the older children, so he punched Xiao Xier; he did not have the calmness to use the Origin Stone skills, but he could punish the weak in anger.

How could he be so vicious, so mean, so... like the smug nobles Mr. Tata spoke of, or even the villagers he spoke of who didn't dare to fight back against the search team and only dared to attack the infected? !

There was a buzz in Ino's head, and his thoughts went blank. The muscles in his body seemed to have lost the power to move, and he was weak and half-knelt on the ground with Ino trembling.

His pants were torn apart by the infected, and the cold floor of the breeding room followed the cracks and stuck to his thighs and calves, which had just gained some flesh, leaving dirty stains.

Ino watched blankly as Xier worked with the needle and thread, and occasionally got pricked by the needle a few times. When the girl finished sewing the top and handed the clothes to Ino with great fear and fear, little Li Boli's eyes suddenly flashed. hot.

Xi'er looked at the boy's tear-stained cheeks and trembled in fear. She bit her bloodless lips and tried to take off his torn trousers, but she could only touch a pale hand.

Ino just put Xi'er's little hand in the palm of her hand. This hand was not pretty. Many calluses had grown on it early on. The scars of frostbite and the old wounds left by the girl pulling things in the ice and snow were ugly residues on her hand. , the dirty mud made this hand as black as an expired chicken foot.

She was so thin that her fingers had distinct joints and were pitiful.

It was uncomfortable to hold it with such a hand. The calluses and scars damaged all the aesthetic features, but Ino held it tightly as if it were the first-class treasure in the world.

Tartarus's finger bones are well-proportioned and his palms are pink. They are soft and beautiful when pinched. The skin that can be broken by blowing makes the not-wide hand tender and wet. Each knuckle is as cute as white jade - even those animations The book doesn't care about the small palms of human body mechanics, but that's all.

This beautiful hand once gave Ino an unparalleled sense of security, but for Ino at this moment, Xier's hand was the greatest treasure in the world.

Tartarus's hand makes people feel safe and want to rely on, but Seele's hand makes people understand what they really should protect.

Ino used his Origin Stone skills extremely carefully, more carefully than when he treated his own internal injuries, and even more carefully than when he controlled the silky Origin Stone energy under the guidance of Teacher Tata.

——He was afraid that he was about to make a mistake and impose dangerous Originium skills on Seele.

When the sunlight left the breeding room, leaving the sunlight lamps spread throughout the room to take effect, illuminating every corner once again, Ino completed the treatment of Xi'er.

Little Li Boli's head was covered with sweat, and his face was horribly red. He was so frightened that Xi'er wanted to find water for him several times, but was gently stopped by Ino.

Now, his repayment is complete.

Ino watched the girl's cracks disappear, the scars fade away, and even the calluses on her little hands were beautified, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xier just looked at it and continued to reach out for his torn pants.

Ino smiled at her, took them off obediently, and started putting them together with the other trouser leg.

Since the infection, Ino felt like he was a kite floating in the wind. The hand connecting him to the ground was Sasha's hand, and later the white palm of Teacher Tartarus.

But a kite is a kite, and Ino is just a kite floating aimlessly after all. She will learn the will of Teacher Tartarus the hard way, and she must persevere even if she doesn't like it.

Now, he is a little beast hanging on the ground, finally having a purpose to pursue at all costs:

Let children like Xier live a better life, and let the weak who are bullied find the strength they can rely on!

Maybe, this is what Mr. Tartarus wants him to understand?

Ino put on the trousers that had been mended by Seele so that they were a little ugly, smiled at the girl, used the key that Tartarus gave him in the morning to secure the door of the breeding room, and returned her to the infected room with a heavy hand. In the child’s dormitory:

This is a children's dormitory built by Tartarus. Children sleep in various houses according to their age. In each house, children can have their own cubicles, and there are often dormitory patrols to eliminate any possibility of bullying. .

Just when Xiao Xi'er said goodbye to Ino and was about to return to her dormitory, Ino seemed to have remembered something and suddenly stopped Xi'er and asked her to wait outside the door.

Wait for him——

When the girl's body was shivering in the cold wind, Ino's figure, out of breath from running, reappeared outside the children's dormitory.

"Here." He handed Xiao Xier a bag of candies - these were toffees given to him by Tartarus. Even during the internship teaching stage, Teacher Tata still put Ino's weekly rewards on the bedside table.

It's just that Ino is often too exhausted when he completes his work to pay attention to it at all.

Hill glanced at the toffee in surprise. She pointed to herself carefully, and then pointed to the toffee in Ino's hand, as if she couldn't believe what Ino meant.

"It's for you."

Ino smiled.

He saw that the girl had a pair of extremely beautiful blue eyes. On the thin face, these clear pupils were as beautiful as stars falling on the ground. The embellishment on the night was not half as good as the pure light in the girl's eyes.

Xiao Xier was too shy. After understanding what Inuo meant, the girl refused without any hesitation, but Inuo gently pushed her into his hand.

Little Li Boli was no longer as agitated as he was when he was beaten in the afternoon. At this moment, his heart was at peace, and his Origin Stone skills were eager to try in the induction, catching the traces of the bad boys in the other house.

Good children and bad children must be treated differently!

But his move was still undermined.

Xi'er didn't take away the whole package of candies. She carefully tore open the package in front of Ino, took out five candies with blue characters on a white background, and returned the remaining candies to Ino.

The girl stuffed all the candies into her mouth in front of Ino, closed her eyes happily, and took out five more candies from the bag she sent to Ino's hand and handed them to Ino, smiling like a little crescent moon. Her eyes just looked at him.

Ino didn't understand what she meant. It wasn't until Xiao Xier moved her bulging cheeks to chew the soft toffee that he guessed what she was thinking. He tentatively tore open the packaging of the five candies and threw them into his mouth. .

Xi'er gave him a thumbs up.

The cold wind blew, and the girl's thin clothes were blown away, and she could no longer cover her slender body covered with bruises and scars. Ino was shocked to see the girl hiding these wounds nonchalantly, and for the last time He waved to him and walked into the sparkling dormitory.

The rich flavor of toffee suddenly lost its taste. Only now did Ino realize why she didn't even dare to speak for him, and why she could only secretly rush to the breeding room while eating and sleeping.

He was right. Even if Mr. Tata worked hard to bring everything to a better track, there were still countless dirty tricks that could not be eradicated.

But what appeared in Ino's heart at the moment when he saw Xiao Xi'er was not discouraged or angry, thinking that she shouldn't be saved.

He just wants to use his Origin Stone skills to wipe out from the world all those bastards who fish in troubled waters of beauty and are selfish in hope.

For the first time, Ino completely felt Teacher Tartarus’s understanding and expectations of the world:

There must be scum who are too vicious to be touched and should be destroyed immediately, there must be villains who are unforgivable and should be killed immediately, but there must also be good children who should be saved and cannot be given up.

How could you give up saving other children because of those evil people?

·

"only these?"

Tartarus was still sitting on the chair in the same position as that day. He moved his slender white legs lightly and looked at Ino's face, which was much more mature than last night.

"It's still not enough. In other words, if you just stay out of it and don't change it, you won't understand the other meaning."

he commented.

"Just tomorrow, it's still the infected breeding room. I'll let you see another layer of meaning."

Chapter 29 Bu Langya

Although Tartarus happily told Ino that he planned to take action against the infected youth group, little Liboli still had to get up at dawn.

Under the supervision of the teacher, after brushing his teeth, washing up, and munching on bread, Ino endured the fatigue rising from his bones and continued working in the infected breeding room.

——He doesn’t know what the teacher plans to do, but judging from what Teacher Tata said last night, his mission is not over yet. Since the field study is not over yet, Ino’s career of struggle will naturally continue.

not to mention……

Little Li Boli thought of Xi'er who was crying yesterday, and even thought that he had to go back there once:

The night Tartarus returned from establishing Base No. [-], he told Ino and Sasha very excitedly that both infected people and poor civilians could obtain food through labor in the base, and no longer had to accept the shameful exploitation of Ursus.

But Xiao Xier was too thin, abnormally thin.

Of course, Ino would not doubt whether the teacher's promise was true - whether it was the respect the guards showed to the teacher, the heartfelt enthusiasm of the adults when they saw Tartarus, or the brothers and sisters of the messenger team, who saw Tartarus. The admiration in Teacher Los's eyes almost overflowed.

How could such a person tamper with his promise?

Therefore, Xiao Xier’s situation is really intriguing.

Last night, Ino was tossing and turning in guilt and anger, repeatedly searching for memories, and finally he discovered the problem with these infected children:

The children in the same batch as Xier are so thin that you feel pitiful at first glance. There seems to be no fat at all between the bones and the skin. The thinnest Xier looks like a skeleton covered with dusty skin!

But those older children, no matter their smooth and smooth faces or their powerful muscles, were in sharp contrast to Xiao Xier.

So, they robbed Xier of food?

No, it should be more than that. These people should have stolen food from many people. Considering that they are better dressed than I am now, they still have a lot of points!

But their workload is completely lower than others!

So... Ino made a decision in his heart.

He couldn't sleep last night. He endured the pain of the Originium infection and secretly used the Originium Technique repeatedly. He resisted the sharp pain in his body and the weakness and despicability in his heart. He continued to adapt to the effects of the Originium Technique, even the pain of acupuncture. To simulate external stimulation...

Today, he will make those beasts who robbed other people's things pay, pay, price!

But things are a little strange today.

Ino walked to the breeding room in the infected area early, only to find that the children from yesterday were now standing neatly at the door, trembling and afraid to move.

He immediately ran forward, but remembered that Teacher Tata, who held the key to the breeding room, did not come and did not give him the key. Could it be that the teacher planned to lecture him because of yesterday's incident?

But Teacher Tata was still drawing drawings in the engineering room not long ago?

When Ino arrived at the end of the queue smoothly, he subconsciously looked for the withered grass-like blue-purple color, intending to find Xiao Xier and talk to her, but found that no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the girl. The children waiting in front of the door were all there one by one. He remained silent and did not move.
