Collapse 3, the opening made the Yingjies regret for life

"Well, what happened?"

"I have something to discuss with you, come with me."

Chapter 78: Alponia, my Humanoid Sanity Potion!

"I have something to discuss with you, come with me."

As soon as the words were finished, Lie grabbed one of Alponia's soft-tails, and forced her to walk quickly to his room.

"what!?"

Caught off guard, Aponia staggered and almost lost her footing. She couldn't help but let out an exclamation like a small animal, but she didn't resist. She just silently followed Lie's footsteps with a slightly red face, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart. Uneasy.

Speechless all the way, Lie quickly brought Alponia into his room, he closed and locked the door expressionlessly, and then shifted his gaze to Alponia.

——What is Lie doing?

Witnessing Lie's actions and feeling his strong gaze, Aponia felt his face burn, and he couldn't help but subconsciously clamp his legs, and felt a little nervous in his heart, as well as a little bit of anticipation... Although he was sensible In fact, she knew very well that although it was easy for people to misunderstand that Lie had drawn herself here, he most likely didn't intend to discuss 'that kind of thing' with her.

——But you still have to have a dream to be a human being.

Sure enough, Lie just broke her fantasy when he opened his mouth. He was not polite at all, and went straight to the point: "Aponia, I think we need to prepare for the war in advance-although so far, my enemy is No one has figured it out, but my premonition is very clear. In the future, I will definitely deal with things related to the Gate Line, and this moment has been greatly advanced for some reason, and even the battlefield will suddenly be set on Twilight Street one day. No."

Although he had expected that Lie would pull him here to discuss a very serious matter, but the span of the topic was too large, and Aponiya couldn't keep up with Lie's thinking for a while, so he couldn't help but said in a daze: "Ah? Lie you wait Wait, why do I not understand what you are talking about?"

Lie calmly explained again: "It's just that I have a hunch that things related to the Gate Line will inevitably match up in the future, and this moment is now inexplicably ahead of schedule... Although I don't know what the Gate Line is yet, I don't know what the Gate Line is. I know where this confidence comes from, but my heart tells me with certainty that the Gate Line must be linked to a strong fighting spirit. As long as it is involved, the fierce battle will be inevitable. face, so we need to be prepared for that in advance.”

This time, Aponiya understood, so her small face instantly turned pale, and her brows were filled with lingering gloom and melancholy, and she murmured softly: "The intense battle...is it really inevitable... "

After a while, she was still a little unwilling to accept the cruel reality, her eyes dodged, and she forced a smile: "Maybe...it's just Lie's fault..."

"No!"

Before Aponia finished speaking, he was met with strong opposition. He said firmly to Aponia with an unprecedented chilling expression: "There is nothing wrong, other things may be illusions, but only This one alone doesn't—"

Speaking of this, faint spiral marks appeared in his eyes again, his cold and stern expression faintly appeared a little ferocious and mad, and there was also a strong fighting intent and blazing murderous intent in his tone: "Because, this It is my fate."

—Yes, this is my destiny.

——It can only be my fate.

This is the first time Aponia has seen Lie show such strong emotional fluctuations, and it is also the first time he has shown such rich expressions—although they are all negative.

For some reason, looking at Lie who was as ruthless as a lone wolf, Aponia suddenly felt her nose sore, and tears began to roll in her eyes. She once again thought of Lie's bitter past.

——He has always faced everything alone by himself.

——I can't let this situation continue.

— Absolutely not.

Aponia gently held Lie's hands, leaned over to touch his forehead, gazed affectionately at the pair of golden pupils that were shockingly beautiful, but cold as a sword, and spoke extremely softly. Said: "Lie, no matter what kind of fate you face in the future, I will not let you face it alone. Although I may not be able to help you, I will always be by your side and silently behind your back. Supporting you, my arms are always open to you——I will do my best to provide you with a warm haven for your tired soul to recover.”

Slowly, Aponia was no longer limited to shaking hands. She took Lie into her broad and soft arms logically, and then caressed his back and his back carefully like a mother taking care of a baby. At the same time, he rubbed his delicate face against Lie's forehead affectionately.

She said slowly and softly: "Lie, don't be afraid, I'm by your side, I'll always be there, I won't go anywhere, and I won't refuse you..."

"..."

At this time, Aponia's whole body exudes the breath of maternal healing. Her movements and voice seem to have magical powers. Under her comfort, the restless mood slowly calmed down unbelievably. For the first time, I felt that the warm and soft embrace and the familiar smell of the other person were so soothing and calming that even Lie couldn't help being intoxicated by it.

Oddly enough, for the first time, Lie took the initiative to embrace and hold Alponia's waist tightly, and buried himself deeper into the other's embrace.

Feeling the great tenderness enveloping him, Lie Ping closed his eyes peacefully, and said a little tiredly: "...Aponia, don't move, let me hug you like this for a while."

Aponia was startled for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "No problem, I can hug you as long as you want."

The two maintained the position of hugging each other tenderly for a moment, Lie finally took a deep breath of each other's breath in Alponia's arms, then let go of his hands, and easily broke free from her arms.

When he opened his eyes again, Lie had recovered his indifference and peace in the past. He looked at the smiling Aponia, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Aponia, I feel much better, and now I won't feel the same way as before. Anxious..."

After a pause, he continued: "At the same time, thank you very much for your willingness to believe in me."

Aponia held his palms, shook her head slightly, and replied softly but firmly: "Didn't I say that Lie never needs to say thank you to me, and he doesn't need to be polite to me—the relationship between us The relationship has already surpassed all the politeness."

This time, Lie didn't refute, but hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "...um."

Aponia confirmed again with a smile on her face: "Calm down now?"

Lie calmly replied: "Thanks to you, I have calmed down."

Alponia blinked happily, and said with satisfaction: "Then... let's start a formal discussion next, tell me what do you think?"

"it is good."

Seeing Aponia's initiative to ask questions, Lie slightly sorted out the thoughts and logic in his mind, organized the language and said: "First of all, we need to stockpile as much supplies as possible. For this reason, we urgently need to conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the equipment in the nursing home— —while Wei Wei is still around."

Aponia didn't expect that Lie would suddenly mention this name, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and asked in a slightly complicated tone: "Wilwei? What does this have to do with her?"

Lie didn't hear anything wrong in Aponiya's tone at all, and emphasized again: "Yes, the key to this first stage of preparation lies in Wei Wei."

Chapter 79: A thousand kalpas gradually reduced to a standard unit of measurement...

"That's right, the key to this first stage of preparation lies in Wei Wei."

——Aren’t we going to prepare?What is it with that woman?

Aponia thought with a little dissatisfaction that even she herself didn't realize that her attitude at the moment was a little bit uncomfortable, as if she was jealous of the woman who could leave a deep impression on Lie's heart after only being together for a day, but Before she could open her mouth to ask questions, Lie went on to explain the reason, what she said was plausible and well-founded:

"Wilwei, isn't she the director of engineering? She must be very good at machinery and equipment. I want to ask her to help repair the equipment of the nursing home—especially the cold storage. If you want to store more supplies, the cold storage is almost a must. Options."

Aponia was startled when she heard the words, and then replied with some dumbfounding: "Lie, your idea is good, but have you considered our current financial situation, just maintaining our daily life is already a bit stretched... so even if Even if Wei Wei is willing and helps us repair the cold storage and other equipment, we can't afford it."

"..."

Aponia directly pointed out the cruel reality, and the sentence "we have no money" instantly sank Lie, making his expression stagnate, and then fell into a long silence.

——Yeah, how could I forget this.

A penny is hard for a hero. The nursing home is a public welfare place, and the usual income basically depends on Aponia's donations. If the hat of "public welfare" is removed, it is estimated that the donations that could have been raised will also be donated. If it is dropped, it will directly break through the weak finances of the nursing home.

Thinking of this, Lie couldn't help but bow his head and fell into deep thought.

—Is there any quick-paying job?

——But besides fighting, what else can I do?

——to grab it?Or black eat black?

——But the teacher said that unless there is a reason or an extreme situation, he does not want me to do those criminal things... It is not an extreme situation right now, and the doomed fate has not yet come down...

— By the way, it can still be like this!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Lie's mind, reconnecting his interrupted train of thought. He thought about it in this direction, and after finding out that it was really feasible, he told Alponia He expressed his own immature thoughts: "Why don't you let Wei Wei recommend for me, let the fire moth pay me to fight Honkai? Anyway, according to what Wei Wei said and what I observed, gradually The Fire Moths have always been at a disadvantage, and occasionally have big defeats, they should have no reason to refuse a strong foreign aid like me."

Hearing this, Aponia's heart suddenly thumped for no reason, and a fear of separation enveloped her heart instantly, and she asked nervously: "Lie, you mean...do you want to join the flame-chasing moth?" To fight against the collapsed ranks, and get money for it?"

Lie nodded and said: "It can be said that, and if I can, I don't want to be their permanent staff, I want to be a strong foreign aid, it's best to stay in the nursing home to wait for nothing, and when I meet someone who has to take action." The kind that is summoned by the situation... Maybe this will lead to low salary, but as long as it is enough for the expenses of the nursing home, I also went for this purpose."

Aponia asked with a somewhat unnatural expression: "But... didn't they still regard Lie as an enemy before?"

Lie replied indifferently: "Yes, that's why I picked them up, but because it didn't hurt their lives, this friction is nothing at all, and Wei Wei also said yesterday that the high-level executives of the fire moth He has a friendly attitude towards me, and you can try to contact and communicate... But you must wait until the matter here is over, and if the matter of the inner ghost is not resolved, I still dare not rashly contact the flame moth."

Abonia caught the key words in the words at once, and asked with a frown, "The ghost? What's going on?"

"Oh, I haven't told Alponia about it yet, so..."

Then, Lie told Aponia exactly what he had discussed with Wei Wei when he went out to investigate the wreckage of the drone, as well as the final conclusions.

After listening to the whole process word for word, Alponia's brows frowned even tighter. The ensuing bad news and angry waves continued to impact her heart, which made her a little tired of coping, and she immediately felt a real sense of urgency. Her heart was tired, as if a heavy burden had been placed on her shoulders out of thin air, almost making her breathless.

She couldn't help pinching the center of her brows, and sighed: "Hey, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It seems that Moth Chasing Flame is not a good place to go..."

Lie nodded and said: "So even if you want to do things for Flame Chasing Moth, you have to wait for Weiwei to investigate the whole matter first, and then discuss it after punishing those inner ghosts, and I just rejected Weiwei's invitation today. If I suddenly change my mind suddenly, it is easy to make people feel that I have ulterior motives. Even if I tell the truth, she may not believe it... I will ask her for a contact information tomorrow. When will this matter end? I'll discuss it with her again."

Looking at Lie who was racking his brains to think of countermeasures in front of him, Alponia couldn't help feeling a little bit bitter.

——Actually, if you use the precepts, it is still very easy to get money.

——But, is it really good to use it to satisfy your own selfish desires?

--and……

Aponia's eyes flickered, and she replayed the conversation just now in her mind. After a long silence, she suddenly opened her cherry lips and asked, "Can you tell me why Lie is obsessed with hoarding supplies first?"

Lie sighed and replied: "Although I really don't want to admit it, but this is the only preparation we can do at present, stock up on supplies, strengthen our guard, and at the same time give Qianjie as much special training as possible to make him stronger... ..."

After a pause, he then seriously asked: "Once the fate of fighting falls, you will immediately huddle up in the nursing home, relying on the supplies you have stockpiled in advance as much as possible until I come back from the battle."

Then, before Aponia could respond, he began to mutter to himself while thinking: "Oh, by the way, I can also ask Wei Wei to help strengthen the defense of the nursing home... Forget it, she Those things in the workshop can't be defended even for a thousand calamities, so how can they resist the enemies related to the Gate line..."

Aponia looked at Lie who was thinking hard about countermeasures with great distress, and felt ruthless in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lie, why don't we take the children and leave this place of right and wrong, and find a place that is more stable and peaceful..."

However, Aponia's whimsical proposal was ruthlessly rejected by Lie before he finished speaking: "It's useless."

He gazed peacefully at Aponia's puzzled eyes, and explained softly: "There are two big mountains, 'Hengkai' and 'Gate Line', and it's the same no matter where you go—'Houkai' It is a major disaster that randomly occurs in human civilization, and the 'Gate Line' is a fate that I must face, and it is also related to the children, and I cannot escape."

Chapter 80: Till Death Do Us Part (Please order tickets! Please!)

"..."

— There is no escape.

These words fell heavily on Alponia's heart like a mountain, making her feel almost suffocated. She wanted to refute, but the more she thought about it, the facts that she had ignored and didn't want to face The details became more clearly visible, and in front of these cold and cruel evidences, she felt her own insignificance more intuitively, and a deep sense of powerlessness suddenly enveloped her whole body.

—I can't do anything.

Aponia's eyes were gloomy, and she was speechless. During this period, her lips parted and closed several times, but in the end she couldn't even utter a word of comfort, her heart was full of sorrows, and finally all kinds of emotions turned into a melancholy sigh.

She murmured as if in a dream: "Bengkai, Gate Line, fate...all of these are so cruel and heavy, yet they are not allowed to escape, and they cannot be avoided..."

Seeing Aponia's dazed and distraught appearance, Lie concluded helplessly: "Therefore, the only way to face it is to be mentally prepared and do everything within our capacity, and then face all of this bravely—we still have to go back to Let’s start with the topic, think about how to make money and stockpile supplies.”

Hearing this, Aponia came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She looked at Lie who had begun to think hard again, her eyes suddenly became moist, tears kept rolling in them, and even the tone of her words also changed. There was a bit of crying and trembling: "Lie, you have always thought about us...why don't you think about yourself too? Don't just care about us..."

Lie frowned slightly, and asked in puzzlement: "Me? What do I have to plan? My fate is like this. I can't avoid it. I can only face it. If I win, I will live. If I lose, I will die... No matter what the ending is, it will always be the same. It’s so clear and clear, what else do I have to plan?”

Aponiya forced herself to hold back her tears, and a smile uglier than crying appeared on her delicate face: "You haven't even tried...why can't you avoid it when you're so sure?"

There was an inexplicable gleam in Lie's golden pupils, and an expression of displeasure and disgust was blatantly shown on his face: even his tone was a lot heavier, as if he was suppressing his anger and resentment: "Because this is the way to talk to Gater." The fate of being in a relationship...It was doomed from the beginning, no matter how I dodge, I will definitely come to my door in the end...Damn shit."

"..."

Aponia looked at Lie's face silently. If she remembered correctly, this should be the first time Lie spoke so seriously, and it was also the first time he showed such an expression in front of her.

——It seems that Lie also hates this superior fate very much.

——Also, it wasn't that he didn't want to think about himself, but that he had no choice at all from the beginning, only after winning the thinking.

- And, most importantly...

Thinking of an unbelievable possibility, Aponia couldn't help but put his hands together in front of his lower abdomen with a heavy heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't Lie also confident to win this fateful struggle?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lie immediately shook his head and said, "No, not at all... I'm even prepared to die in battle in advance."

Even though she had already vaccinated herself in advance, Lie's answer was completely beyond Aponia's expectations. She couldn't believe that these words would come out of Lie's mouth. In her impression, Lie has always been the only existence on the outer level whose strength crushes all living beings, is invincible in the world, and can even easily change the established destiny. The Houkai beasts that can destroy cities can be crushed to death at will like bugs in front of him. The mountains are even thicker than the super-giant Honkai beasts, and even the terrifying humanoid monsters that were born from the Honkai and can be killed by an army of chasing moths can't last a few seconds in his hands. , no power to fight back...

Alponia couldn't imagine that such a tyrannical and invincible Lie would say "I can't win" one day.

And it came so fast!

Not to mention that he was even prepared to die in battle in advance... She suddenly understood the attitude of those people who were extremely cautious about the Gate line, and would kill even the slightest sign of losing control.

Huge fear was immediately rooted in the heart, and Aponia subconsciously hugged Lie tightly, with such strength that she seemed to want to merge with Lie, as if only in this way could the person in her arms stay...

She suppressed the panic in her heart, and said solemnly: "I don't allow Lie to say such depressing words... What do you mean by being prepared to die in advance? Lie will not die, and we will be fine. Lie is so powerful, he will be able to relax Overcome this unknown fate! It will definitely be possible!"

Her emotions became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice raised an octave rarely, containing unshakable firm confidence... She had to convince herself that Lie could win the final victory, otherwise she would not be able to face everything that followed.

——A future without Lie is not the future I want!

Lie suddenly felt a cold and wet feeling on his head. He struggled out of Alponia's arms, looked up, and saw two lines of tears on Alponia's cheeks, the crystal tears dripping slowly...

——It seems that it should be the feeling of tears falling on the hair just now, but...

—Aponia, are you crying?

Lie couldn't help being startled.

Aponia suppressed the phantom pain and sadness in her heart, and hugged Lie for a while, then she stared at the stunned Lie with red eyes, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Lie, it's for my own good. Please, you must, must win! I don’t want to lose you and I can’t lose you! I can’t imagine a future without you by my side!”

Hearing Aponia's begging, Lie slowly came back to his senses, he patted Aponia's back lightly, and softly comforted him: "Aponia, no one in the world will turn around, and no one will do it because of If you can't live without someone, time will heal the pain of memory after all, you don't need to be obsessed with..."
