I am not the one who joins the chat group

"It's too dangerous for a group of children to stay in Changkong City where Houkai beasts will appear at any time, so I plan to take them away... Sora also wants to see the outside world, right?"

The last sentence was asked by Li Qingge in the air.

"Yes!"

Hearing Kong's agitated voice, Raven gradually let go of his worries. It seemed that it was just a coincidence, and he didn't come here on purpose for this group of children.

"Thank you for your thought, Mr. Li."

"But since I have the ability to enclose a safe zone in Changkong City, I can naturally take the children out of the sky, but there is a reason why I don't take them out."

"Is it because of the incompletely awakened stigmata?"

"……How did you know?"

In an instant, the soft voice became cold.

Kong grabbed Li Qingge's sleeve, worried that the teacher and big brother would stir up trouble.

"Don't be afraid (whispered), Miss Natasha, even in the destiny, my team is very special. There is more than one awakener born with stigmata, and there is also a professional who studies stigmata. It’s hard to see what’s going on with them.”

"And, since I made this request, I have the confidence to treat them well."

"..."

"If you are worried, we will wait for you in the nest. Don't worry, we won't do anything to the children's bodies until you come back."

"I see... Sora, you have to watch the children carefully, I will be back soon."

"Yes, I understand."

Chapter 31: Vigilance

"Nata, I'm already in place."

The high heels stepped on the ground, stirring up dust splashes and falling.

After receiving that communication, Raven returned to Changkong City as fast as he could.

But as soon as he entered the safe zone he had planned, a familiar voice came from the miniature earphones in his ears.

Raven's expression remained unchanged, his mouth was slightly opened, and he made a small sound.

"I see, bro, can you see how many people there are?"

"I've only seen one so far."

Using the collapsed high-rise building as a cover, the blond man was lying in a shaded corner, watching with a telescope in his hand.

"It's a petite little girl, not much bigger than Kong, with silver-gray twin ponytails."

"Is there only one?"

Frowning slightly, the raven continued walking towards the "nest" without stopping.

"Where's that boy?"

"Not found, it may be in the room."

"I see, let's continue to observe."

"Ah."

Instead of hanging up the communication, the blond man put down the binoculars in his hand, leaned against a bunker, took out the sniper rifle from the cello case, and adjusted it slowly.

"Nata, you don't have to be so nervous, maybe it's just like what the boy said, they just happened to happen, and they don't have any plans for Kong."

Knowing the tension in his sister's heart, as a brother and a partner, Thor comforted softly.

"Well, maybe."

Raven responded lightly, without refuting, but then she spoke again.

"But I don't mind speculating on their intentions with the utmost malice."

How can there be so many coincidences in this world, and how can there be so many kindness.

Ever since the third collapse, Changkong City has been deserted for more than a year, why not come sooner or later, why come at this time?

"We are mercenaries, there is no chance of misjudgment."

Ever since they embarked on such a road in order to survive, Raven and his brother have been walking in a fog like a chain under their feet, and an abyss below the chain. If they are not careful, they will fall To pieces.

"Besides, I can't gamble with their lives and future... Destiny and World Snake are the same thing."

My family knows their own affairs. Raven grew up under the cultivation of the World Snake, and has done many things for the World Snake.

There are good things, but more bad things.

Raven is well aware of the darkness of the World Snake. Even if he has the lofty idea of ​​"defeating Honkai", the methods of the World Snake are not without terror.

As incompletely awakened stigmata, Sora and the others are of high value, at least in the eyes of researchers.

The reason why Raven can safely raise these little guys is because of his own strength and money, but because of the medicine provided by a world snake cadre.

This cadre focused on Kong and the others, and was willing to provide drugs to alleviate the symptoms. As the price for providing the medicine, Raven needed to provide Kong and their blood for other research... and this was the minimum she had fought for. It's a price.

As the lowest cost alternative, Raven also needs to provide additional experimental materials for this cadre to conduct research on.

Thanks to her, Raven's favorable opinion of the researchers plummeted from zero to negative.

And through some internal information of World Snake, of course she also understands that destiny is by no means as clean as it appears on the surface.

However, although he criticized the two in his heart, Raven also understood that he had no qualifications.

They regard human life as consumables, since when did they care about such things... As long as the price is right, she can kill anyone.

After all, the fact that she was able to stay in the snake world for so long shows that she is also a "snake" who likes darkness.

Hehe, the code name is "Raven", but is it a snake?

"...Nata, the one you mentioned, I have already found the right person."

Noticing that his sister's tone was a little low, Thor thought for a while and changed the subject.

"Really?"

"Well, that person is willing to sell it to us, but the price is a bit expensive."

"The price is not a problem, but you can't let him pay too much, brother, you can grasp this aspect."

"Row."

Raven's tone relaxed, and Thor also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his sister had joined a not-so-good organization, but there was nothing he could do. He was just an ordinary person, not as adaptable as Raven.

He can only do logistics and do things that ordinary people can do. He can only watch the raven go further and further, and he can't do anything.

But fortunately, during this period of time, he may have been a little tired, and Raven wanted to quit that organization, so he gave up completely.

As for the life after Jinpen washes his hands, Raven wants to buy a small island, build a villa, and then take over all the children in the "nest", plant the land by himself, go fishing, and live a relaxed and happy life.

As an older brother, he can't stop his younger sister from getting deeper and deeper, but at least, in this regard, he can support him [-]%.

Thor has reached out to a seller through his own channels.

Everything is in line with his expectations, but the price is a bit expensive, and the terrain is not so good, it is easy to sink.

But it doesn't matter, the kind of tsunami that can submerge the island is rare in a hundred years, so I probably don't have such good luck... Probably.

"Huh, anyway, I hope everything goes well."

As if thinking of his own relaxed life in the future, Raven's pretty face under the hood also evoked a smile.

She stretched out her palm and stroked her chest, feeling the coolness of a hard object touching her body temperature, praying silently in her heart.

It was a habit she had developed since she was a child. Whenever she was nervous, she would pray to the silver crystal necklace hanging on her chest.

She doesn't believe in gods, but she thinks this crystal is a miracle from the gods.

That's not a symbol, but real power.

Until now, Raven still vaguely remembers that he and his elder brother had a serious illness when they were young, and they felt very uncomfortable, unable to think about anything.

But suddenly, the illness recovered, and I vaguely saw a figure from behind.

This crystal is what was left behind by that figure.

Because of this crystal, the two of them depended on each other for life, escaped famine, escaped wild beasts, and escaped adults with malicious intentions... Whenever they and their elder brothers were in danger, the crystal would light up, building an invincible barrier and bringing them back together. They flee from trouble.

Raven is very grateful for this crystal, and even more grateful for curing them, leaving behind the back of this crystal.

She wants to find this figure.

Joining the world snake, becoming a famous mercenary, and performing missions all over the world, Raven has always had this kind of thought - if he or she is found, he or she wants to say "thank you" personally.

"Empty, Lyle, children, I'm back!"

"teacher!"

Stepping into the "nest" that he had built, Raven hugged the children who ran over excitedly, and then looked at the girl with short silver-gray hair who came over, with red eyes flickering, and stretched out his palm proactively.

"Hi, I'm Natasha, thank you for taking care of the children."

"...Bronya Zajcek."

After a moment of silence, Bronya stretched out her palm and gently held Natasha's hand.

However, the moment she stretched out her palm, Raven suddenly noticed something, her eyes narrowed, and her other hand stretched out like a falcon, grabbing towards Bronya's wrist.

However, at the moment when Raven's expression changed, Bronya also noticed something, and at the moment she made a move, she retracted her outstretched hand, and stretched out her other hand, grabbing it in mid-air. Grabbed Raven's wrist.

"..."

"What do you want, Miss Natasha?"

The tone didn't change much, but there seemed to be some abnormal fluctuations around Bronya telling Raven that she seemed to be judged as an enemy.

Staring at Bronya's petite palm, Raven was a little surprised. Although she didn't take it seriously and underestimated the enemy, a young girl with such a reaction speed and skill really made her a little interested.

After all, my skills are pretty good, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the top of the [Charon List].

But what she didn't know was that the little girl holding her now, Bronya's past, the "Silver Wolf of the Urals", also climbed to the top of the [Charon List], and set a record for the fastest ascent.

Although he was curious in his heart, the stronger excitement suppressed this emotion.

She raised her free hand to signal that she was not hostile, and said.

"Sorry, Miss Bronya, I'm not hostile, I'm just too excited."

"reason."

The reloading bunny was ready to go, and the sudden change of atmosphere made Bronya and the children around Raven anxious, not understanding what happened.

"Sister Bronya, and teacher, stop fighting!"

Looking at the somewhat anxious Kong, Raven took the initiative to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Sora, this is just a misunderstanding, it will be fine when the teacher explains it clearly."

"Yes, as long as the explanation is clear, Bronya will judge for herself."

"It's… okay."

His teacher, and the new friend he just made... Sora was in a dilemma, but fortunately, it seemed to be just a misunderstanding.

After comforting Kong and the other children, Raven lowered his head slightly and looked at Bronya, to be precise, her left wrist.

She couldn't see it wrong, it was exactly the same as what she and her brother had, a silver-white crystal.

The raised palm gently pulled open the collar, and under Bronya's somewhat wary eyes, Raven took out a necklace with a crystal hanging on it.

"……This is?"

The silver-white glow flickered, as if responding to Bronya's doubts, and the two crystals on the wrist and neck began to resonate.

"How did you have it."

Even Bronya herself didn't realize that the vigilance in her eyes had changed.

Chapter 32: Are you that man's son? (convinced)

The golden sun behind the floating clouds is neither hot nor distorted. The direct sunlight passes through the covered floors and reflects distortedly on the blond man named Thor.
