Collapse 3, the opening made the Yingjies regret for life

——Acceptance is acceptance, don't you see their trembling bodies?

Lie originally wanted to refute back like this, but facing everyone's shrinking but kind eyes, Lie couldn't say this no matter what.

He couldn't figure out the specific reason, but fortunately, the teacher's teaching contained relevant content, so Lie attributed the reason for his reluctance to speak out to this.

——The teacher said, don't trample on the goodwill of others, unless the purpose is impure.

Lie calmed down again, and began to chat with the children one sentence at a time. After a while, everyone became acquainted with each other, and the children gradually forgot their fear. Some of them even dared to make physical contact with Lie. .

Looking at the warm scene in front of him, the smile on Alponia's face became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, exuding the brilliance of motherhood.

Lie noticed the changes in Aponia, and asked, "Aponia, what are you laughing at?"

Aponia replied softly: "It's nothing, I just thought of something to be happy about..."

The children also chimed in: "Hey? Did something good happen? Sister Aponia, it makes us happy to say it!"

"That's right, Sister Alponia is always secretive when she goes out, and she fools us like a three-year-old child every time she asks, why don't you just talk about it this time? Okay?"

"But you were a child..."

"Well, I also want to know how sister Aponia got brother lie back."

……

The energy of a child who is making a fuss is terrible, and Aponia and Lie played with the children for a long time before letting them settle down.

Then, Aponia took Lie to visit the nursing home and arranged a room for him by the way.

"This is your room. My room is opposite to yours. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."

While talking, Aponia glanced out of the window. It was already dark at this time, and it was about to enter the night soon. Aponia couldn't help but sighed, and apologized to Lie: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect the children You are so energetic, I originally wanted to take you to visit the Twilight Street, but the Twilight Street is not very safe at night, so let's go out tomorrow."

Lie looked indifferent: "It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway... It's the same when I go out for a stroll later."

Aponia looked at him expressionlessly, and repeated what she had just said without any fluctuations in her tone: "Twilight Street at night is not very safe."

Liedon was full of question marks at the time, not understanding why Aponiya said: "Not safe? What can be unsafe for me?"

Alponia stared at him silently for a while, then said quietly, "I'm afraid you're lost."

"Oh, don't worry, I have a good memory and a strong ability to recognize the way, and I have never lost my way."

"Then how did you float here from the sea?"

"Didn't I say that at that time, I was too busy fighting to know my way? When I came back to my senses, I was already in the middle of the ocean. Looking around, there was only boundless sea water, let alone know my way. I can't even tell the direction, and I don't know where to go and I don't have any place to go, so I just drift with the ocean current and go wherever."

"..."

Finally, Aponia couldn't hold back anymore, she sighed helplessly, and said frankly: "Lie, I told you that anyone can find his home on Twilight Street... Do you really understand the meaning of this? "

Although it was a question, she didn't give Lie time to think, but continued on her own: "Most of the people living here are abandoned and forgotten by the world. Just judging from their current situation, Everyone is more or less connected with the "scum and scum" your teacher said, but most of them are not completely bad, and some of them are even good people in nature. There are many reasons for their complicated situation, and they cannot all be blamed. on..."

Hearing this, Lie suddenly nodded, waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, okay, you know what you want to say, you want to tell me that people here have complicated temperaments, and they cannot be divided by simple good and bad Isn't it? Hey, I thought you were going to say something, isn't most of the human beings like this? That's why I said you were weird."

"However, why are you telling me this... wait, you don't think I'm a guy who kills the wicked when I see him?"

After going around for a long time, Lie finally understood the deep meaning of Aponia's words, so he explained: "The teacher didn't teach me to be so rigid, and I figured it out a long time ago. It will always exist like a shadow, but I understand that the teacher never wants me to destroy human beings because of this, so as long as I don’t mess with the door and bump into my eye-catching, I generally don’t care about it.”

In order to prove that he really understood, he used the teacher's rhetoric: "Good and bad are essentially the concept of dynamic balance, and most people are at the critical point, that is, neither good nor bad, or have good or bad." Bad or bad, they can slide to either end of the balance, or they can always remain the same, or even change forever..."

"Moreover, everyone has a different definition of good and bad. Based on law, morality, culture and education, we can extract common or most people's recognized parts, but there are differences after all, not to mention there are positions lying here , it is difficult to cross..."

——So, I hope you can get in touch with, know more, learn more, and think more, instead of simply taking me as the standard. Everyone should have their own three views and principles of life. This requires what you have seen and heard It was slowly forged with thinking, teacher, I have no way or qualification to give it to you directly...

——Then shouldn’t I trust the teacher?

——Ahem, cough, until you really figure it out, you'd better follow my teacher's standard... At least, there won't be any big mistakes.

--I don't understand.

——It’s okay, I will teach you slowly.

But, no matter how you teach the teacher, I still don't understand.

——It doesn't matter, you will understand sooner or later, because human beings are such creatures.

but.

seem.

like.

perhaps.

Maybe.

should.

I am not human.

Nor does it belong to any ethnic group in this world.

I am me and I am just me.

A plausible monster.

That's it.

——When getting along with others, it is better to follow the teacher's standard, anyway, no matter what I think, it will not help.

"Lie! Don't do this!"

Chapter 5: The Innocent Monster

——When getting along with others, it is better to follow the teacher's standard, anyway, no matter what I think, it will not help.

"Lie! Don't do this!"

Alponia suddenly shouted loudly, her tone was directly raised by an octave compared to usual, and she seemed extremely nervous and anxious.

Lie was interrupted by her voice, and he looked at Aponia suspiciously, but unexpectedly Aponia pulled him into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Suddenly, Lie's eyes went dark, and he felt that he had crashed into a soft and warm mattress, especially on his face, as if two ball-shaped precious pillows were bundled together, the soft and elastic touch was almost Covering the entire head, as the deformation deepened, he could feel the heavy weight more and more, and his nose was full of the smell of Albania.

——According to the teacher, this should be the category of fragrance, right?Kind of like a mix of several flowers?A bit like milk?Hmm, I don't know the difference, let's make a separate name...

——Then again, it's really not easy for Aponia. Do her shoulders often feel sore?

——No, with her physical fitness, this shouldn't be a big deal... right?

Aponia hugged very hard, as if she wanted to become one with Lie, her chin pressed Lie's dumb hair on top of his head, her eyelashes trembled slightly, there was great sadness in her eyes, and even her voice They all trembled a little: "Lie, promise me, please...no..."

"?"

All of a sudden, Alponia stopped her words, and a struggling look flickered in her eyes. After a while, she bit her lips tightly, shook her head vigorously, and hugged her hands even tighter.

Aponia caressed Lie's thin back, and said softly: "Lie, I hope you don't reject this world, perhaps, this world is really bad, but it is more inclusive than you imagined, you can definitely If you find your own home in it, you will definitely find your own answer... If you want, I can always be by your side."

Because his head was buried deeply in the deep and full valley, Lie's voice seemed a bit muffled: "Aponia, you are really strange, what are you talking about all of a sudden... wait, you can't Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Aponia's body shook suddenly, a subtle and slightly embarrassed expression appeared on her face, her eyes wandered, she remained silent for a long time, she struggled for a long time, and finally admitted: "Well, this is one of my abilities. "

Lie suddenly said: "So that's it, I said why you seem to have suddenly changed..."

"Don't you blame me?"

"Oh, yes, according to what the teacher taught me, I should be angry at this time, right? Because you violated... violated my right to privacy? Didn't you get my permission in advance?"

"...This is what your teacher said, your own thoughts are the most important."

"It doesn't matter to me."

"why?"

"I don't know, just indifferent... I don't even understand why humans care about this."

"Humans will care about these things. There are many reasons, and they will not be the same. Some are because of peace of mind, some are because of the law, and some are because of likes and dislikes..."

"Sure enough, human beings are still very difficult to understand. The teacher tried to explain it to me, but I just can't figure it out... Forget it, there are many things I can't figure out, and this one is not bad."

"You always follow your teacher's standards, instead of using your true side to touch and feel. Naturally, it's hard to understand."

"I tried it, but the result is that the young ones came to the big ones, and the big ones came to the old ones. After all the beatings, they all came. But the doubts did not diminish at all, but more and more... ..."

"...can I take a look at your past? I want to know you better."

Although Lie's future is like a cloud of fog, it is impossible to explore, but his past is composed of established events. For Aponia, these established facts can be reproduced and observed through his own means.

Facing Aponia's request, Lie agreed very easily: "It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want."

After getting Lie's answer, Aponia let go of her embrace. She held up Lie's small pink and jade-carved face, closed her eyes, bent down, and pressed her forehead to it.

The moment her foreheads touched, intense information flowed into Aponia's mind. She had to concentrate all her energy to sort out the chaotic and disordered information, and at the same time Lie also felt something invisible that separated him from Aponia. Nia linked up.

Although Lie couldn't explore her past through this connection like Aponia, he could feel that he could refuse or disconnect this connection at any time as long as he wanted.

But Aponya said to see his past, or wait for her to come out.

Lie just stared at Alponia in front of him, quietly waiting for her next move.

After a long time, Aponiya's consciousness returned to reality. She opened her eyes, frowned, and looked at Xiang Lie with complicated and tangled eyes. She opened her cherry lips several times, and then closed them tightly again, with a look of hesitant to speak. Strange look.

... The estrangement is really too deep.

After sorting out Lie's past, Aponia finally understood that it was not because of the uniqueness of the teacher and his passing away that led Lie to close his mind and reject the world, but that he was an inhuman existence from the very beginning, many of which are common to humans. Things that are usually called common sense come to him, but they become strange things that cannot be empathized with and cannot be understood. Although his teacher tried his best to teach him how to be a human being, he was limited in the perspective of a human being after all, and failed to understand. Understand his inhuman nature, let alone analyze and answer his questions from an inhuman perspective.

——In other words, as long as someone can build a communication bridge between humans and non-humans, then all problems can be solved.

However, it is easy to say, but just the conception of the first step makes Alponia feel at a loss and has no way to start.

Lie himself is a blank sheet of inhuman nature. His teacher once tried to fill it with human colors, but it was all in vain. There is still no change in his inner being. Instead, it is under the influence of these colors that do not belong to him. Under the circumstances, his cognition becomes fragmented and chaotic, which is also the root cause of his rejection of the world.

An inhuman monster is assimilated by a human trying to educate the same kind, but it is limited by time and perspective, but the result is only the understanding of the other party stays on the surface. He knows many things related to human beings, but only I just know that there has never been empathy, understanding, let alone identification and integration, and the communication with human beings is only based on the summary of experience and logical calculations.

——However, it’s not all bad news. At least, Lie’s first teacher was reliable. Under his careful care, Lie did not become a reckless and violent God of Destruction, but instead possessed the ability to communicate and coexist with human beings. Possibility, if given that teacher long enough...

——Lie should become a monster that is more human-like or even indistinguishable from human beings.

——But this is not a long-term solution after all. Once his inhumanity is revealed, he will be pushed to the opposite side without hesitation by suspicious and fickle human beings. The final result is just as Lie said, or kill him They, or stay away from them... But with human nature, the former is obviously more likely.

Thinking of this, Alponia couldn't help clenching her fists, as if she was carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders, the invisible weight almost crushed her completely.

She didn't know if she had the ability to guide Lie to the right path, let alone help him integrate into the human race. The fate lines related to him were all swallowed up, and the definite and observable future didn't exist in him at all. , even after being in contact with him for a long time, it is very likely that his future will become unknown and unobservable...

--but.

——No matter how bad it is, where can it be so bad?

--at least.

——Lie's teacher proved at the cost of his life that Lie is not really without blood and tears. There is a common emotion between him and human beings, maybe it is very weak, maybe he himself is not aware of it...but at least it exists.

Lie saw that Aponiya just stared at himself and didn't speak for a long time, so he asked, "Why didn't you speak suddenly?"

Aponia shook her head lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't know what to say for a while, I didn't expect you to go through so much... I feel very sorry for your teacher."

Although he mentioned the deceased teacher, Lie still acted very calmly: "Oh, it's okay, I have already taken revenge. I personally dismantled that bastard who made things and threw things into pieces... which is worse than my teacher's death." It's much worse."

——It was also in that incident that Lie showed strong emotional fluctuations for the first time and the only time so far.

——But the price of wanton venting emotions is also very heavy. That unilateral play and venting anger not only razed the entire city, but also almost shattered the entire continent...

——Not only this time, but also the following times, I am afraid that most of the creations in this world are just tofu-like fragile things that will break if touched lightly... let alone life itself...

As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly thought of the tragic scene like the twilight of the gods caused by the fierce battle with the enemy, the shattered and sinking earth, the collapsed buildings, the raging fire, the billowing smoke and dust, it seemed like the end of the world...

Until now, Aponia finally has a clear and intuitive understanding of Lie's lethality. She is very glad that she did not do anything stupid on impulse just now - if Lie really went berserk, it is estimated that there is no one in this world If he can stop him, even if he is himself, he is not sure that he can restrain him. It is still unknown whether the precepts will work or not... It may even be due to his intervention that the situation will deteriorate further and even be irreversible.

Suddenly, Aponia felt that the burden on her shoulders became even heavier. The beautiful and lovely young man in front of her seemed innocent and well-behaved, but at her core was a thin-natured and extremely dangerous ferocious beast, which might erupt at any time. But in fact, the hands will feel extremely tricky, and people don't know what to do.

Surprisingly, Alponia didn't feel very irritable, nor did she feel panicked at what to do. Instead, she felt an unprecedented joy, and even had an inexplicable expectation for the future in her heart.

Looking forward to my own future, and also looking forward to Lie's future.

She thought that she had long since lost her curiosity and hope for the future, but the existence of Lie undoubtedly awakened her original belief and unwillingness.

——Besides, Honkai... So that kind of disaster is called Honkai... How can people resist it...

—Forget it, that's not something I can think about right now.

Thoughts turned, even though she didn't know how to guide Lie for the time being, even though she knew part of the cruel truth about this world, Aponia felt relaxed all over for some reason, and felt an indescribable ease.

Albania glanced at the sky outside the window, smiled at Lie and said:

"It's getting late, I have to cook for the children, Lie, you play with the children first, and have dinner together later."
