Human, am I evil?

In this house, there was an old man lying on the bed, and there were many young people standing beside the bed watching her worriedly.

They should all be relatives of the old man. Today is the last day of the old man. They all came to see the old man for the last time.

"Mother, I'm sorry... I was busy with work before and didn't take good care of you."

"What are you talking about, Yuanyi. You are very filial, and you have always wanted to take me to live in the city. Now that you can spend so many days with me, an old guy, on the last journey, I am already very happy."

The old man looked at the child with tears streaming down his face lovingly, and she tried hard to raise her hand to wipe away his tears like before, but he no longer had the strength to do this.

Seeing the old man's movements, the man immediately grabbed his hand and put it on his face, hoping that this action could make her feel his own warmth.

Seeing his movement, the man standing on the other side of the bed imitated his movement and put the old man's hand on his face.

He is the second child, and he is also very filial. He cooks well, and every year during the Chinese New Year, he will come back and cook a delicious meal for her.

She is really satisfied in this life. Her children are filial, her children and grandchildren are full, and she has no serious illness in her life. This is a life that many people do not want.

All this is due to Miss Miko. If it weren't for the meeting when I was a child, my life would definitely not be so smooth.

At this time, the old man found that the surroundings had turned black and white, and everyone was frozen, as if time had been suspended.

Myself...is this time up?Is this what death feels like?It's not as scary as I imagined.

When she breathed a sigh of relief, a figure appeared beside the bed, quietly looking at the old man on the bed.

"No, it's your own credit, Ye Yue. If you don't put in the effort, no matter how much I bless you, it won't have any effect."

Ye Yue looked at the girl who suddenly appeared, slowly widened her eyes, and looked at her in disbelief.

"You are...you are Miko-sama, have you come to see me?"

Ye Yue was a little flattered, you must know that Ba would not favor anyone, she who never took special care of anyone, unexpectedly appeared here.

If she didn't have the strength to get up from the bed, she would definitely kneel in front of Ba and thank her for protecting her.

"Thank you, Miko-sama. Thank you for giving me such a fulfilling life."

Ba shook her head: "When you came to me, you hoped that I would save your mother. I failed. As compensation, I guarantee that your life will be happy. I came here this time to ask you, how is your life? Are you happy?"

Ye Yue looked at the children surrounded by the bed, she couldn't see her smiling eyes.

"Of course, I am very happy, Miko-san. I have no regrets in my life."

"Is that so? If you have the chance to continue living, do you want to continue living?"

Ba didn't know why she asked this question, Ye Yue didn't show any emotion for this question, she shook her head without hesitation.

"No, Miss Miko."

"Why? There are many people in this world who want to live longer, and even want to live forever. Now you have the opportunity to continue living, why don't you accept it?"

In the enchantment where she stayed in the shrine, many people who heard her legend came to Yuanshan Village to find her, hoping to get a way to live longer from her.

The opportunity that those people dream of is right in front of her, why is she not moved at all?

"I'm already very satisfied in this life, and I don't know what to do anymore. Instead of continuing to live meaninglessly, it's better to just leave, so as not to cause trouble for others."

That's right, trouble, her health has been deteriorating over the years, and in order to take care of her daily life, the children came back from the big city.

This made her very happy, but she couldn't be so greedy, how could she delay the children's future when she was about to die.

Keep living, everyone may be happy for a while at first, but soon there will be problems, and that will have a chain reaction that will affect other people.

In order not to make the children worry about her, let her go. She has no regrets, so it's okay to leave.

Ba nodded and looked at Ye Yue silently, why did she take a special look at her before leaving?Maybe...it was the reason why she played with him that day.

That happened when Ye Yue was a child, when she rarely came out of the barrier and met the lively and active Ye Yue.

At that time, Ye Yue didn't know anything about the Dragon Witch. When she saw Ba, she thought she was a child from the same village, so she invited her to play with her.

That day was a rare time for Ba to relax. Ye Yue agreed to play together next time, and Ba also agreed.

But after Ye Yue went back, she told the adults at home about this matter, and after the adults heard it, she was told not to be rude to the Dragon Witch, but to respect her.

Just because of the adults' advice, there was a gap between the two who could have become good friends. Ba also saw this, and she didn't take the initiative to show up again since then.

Later, Ye Yue's mother was seriously ill, and she brought her mother to the shrine, but at that time, there was no life left, and Ba gave her own blessing to make Ye Yue's next life happy.

All of this comes from the day's play. Maybe for some people, just a day's friendship is not worth achieving this level, but for Ba, it is worth it.

"If you were given a chance, let you go back to the day when you first met me. Would you still obey your parents and choose to respect me? Ye Yue."

What Ba wanted to say was not "respect", but alienation, just like Ye Yue's attitude towards her when they met again.

That was a completely different way of getting along with her when they first met. Even now, Ba still remembers the expression of being cautious and not daring to get close at all, for fear of saying something wrong.

If Ye Yue didn't listen to her parents at that time and got along with Ba as before, then after their relationship gets better to a certain extent, Ba might choose Ye Yue as the inheritor, teach her her own abilities, and let her become the master of the dragon. The Miko chosen by the Miko.

It's just that this may have disappeared long ago, she just wants to know Ye Yue's choice now, whether Ye Yue has realized the problem after growing up, and whether she understands the reason why she left her.

"...I'm sorry, Miko-san. I understand, I hurt you."

As a child before, she didn't understand why Ba left without saying goodbye. She just felt that it would be okay for a big man like Ba to disappear for a while.

She didn't understand what was going on until she grew up. Ba didn't care about the respect of the villagers at all. On the contrary, she hated this attitude, and she wanted to be treated like an ordinary person.

It's a pity that she understood it too late, and by the time she understood, she had no chance to apologize.

Even if she came to the shrine countless times later and prayed and apologized at the shrine, Ba did not respond.

If there is still a chance, she will definitely not regard Ba as a dragon priestess, but as a kind sister, and she will go to play with her when she is free.

After listening to Ye Yue's confession, a smile finally appeared on Ba's face. She pressed Ye Yue's forehead to help her relieve some pain in her body.

She didn't intend to cure Ye Yue, her vitality was almost exhausted, she just wanted to let her relax a bit when she left.

She doesn't hate Ye Yue, otherwise she wouldn't come here at the last moment of his life, all she wants is an answer, as long as she knows this answer, her heart will feel better.

"You don't have to feel guilty, Ye Yue. If you were someone else, it would definitely be the same. Every well-behaved child will listen to their parents. There is nothing wrong with you doing that. It's just that I couldn't accept it at the time."

"Miss Witch..."

"No need to say much, just say something clear. Then we will have no regrets, right?"

"...Yes."

Unexpectedly, at the last moment of her life, she could solve this worry, Ye Yue felt that her life was more complete.

Her mood was completely relaxed, after such relaxation, Ye Yue felt more and more sleepy, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, she really wanted to sleep, and wanted to close her eyes now.

"I... I'm a little tired, Miss Miko. Obviously... I still want to say something to you, but it seems that I have no chance."

"...Go ahead, there's nothing more to talk about. Finally, let me help you a little more."

"Thank you, Sister Ba."

Hearing this address, Ba paused for a moment, and put her palm on Ye Yue's face with a smile on her face.

Consciousness ceased, and Ye Yue's family members found that the old man had not responded to them for a long time, so they quickly observed and found that Ye Yue had closed his eyes, with a smile on his mouth, as if he was having a sweet dream.

Her elder son tremblingly stretched out his hand to the nose. He couldn't feel the breath, and the suppressed tears finally couldn't help flowing from his eyes.

As the eldest son, he couldn't lose control, he held Ye Yue's hands tightly, and said with a deep cry: "Go all the way, mother."

Ye Yue in reality had already left, but after a brief absence of consciousness, she found herself standing in a familiar place.

Here... It's like the Yuanshan Village when she was a child. She can be sure that this is the Yuanshan Village that hadn't been developed when she was a child.

This... Is this what Sister Ba said, do yourself a favor?

Ye Yue looked at her palm, and found that there were no wrinkles, it was smooth and fair, this is the skin that only children have.

She ran to the creek next to her, and through the stream, she saw clearly that she had returned to the carefree age when she was a child.

"Xiaoyue~"

Ye Yue, who was still sorting out the information, trembled suddenly, she got up quickly, resisting the urge to cry, and looked behind her.

"mom, Mom, Mom..."

She is still the same as in memory, no matter how many years have passed, she will never forget her mother's face.

"mom!"

Ye Yue couldn't wait to run over, threw herself into her mother's arms, kept shouting, tears flowed out uncontrollably.

The mother who was being hugged didn't understand why Ye Yue was so excited today, but as a mother, she didn't ask too much, just hugged Ye Yue wordlessly, patted her on the back lightly, to comfort her.

[Thank you, Sister Ba.This time... really no regrets. 】

Honkai 2: 070: Business-rich anti-entropy

"Then, today's class will end here first. Let's end get out of class."

Caltech University, space discipline, the great first Herr-Mr. Walter Yang is telling students about the thermodynamics of black holes.

He is not the tutor of the school, he just replaces Liesel... that is, Dr. Einstein is a substitute teacher. Currently, the anti-entropy is managed by Einstein and Tesla, and he rarely spends a few days in peace day.

He wanted to be a teacher when he was very young, but he had to give up this dream because of his own responsibilities. He never expected to experience the feeling of being a teacher in this form.

"It seems that you are very free, First Herrscher. I thought you spent your usual time dealing with anti-entropy matters, but I didn't expect you would have time to be a university tutor."

Um?this voice is...

Walter, who was on the phone with Einstein about the anti-entropy situation, stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw white tables and chairs placed on the grass at some time, and exquisite refreshments were placed on the table. Di Ruiji and another girl in a maiden costume that he had never seen before were sitting on the chairs drinking tea, sitting on the table. Beside him was a girl in a maid outfit.

Since when have they been there?I didn't feel anything.

Cold sweat rolled down his face, and what happened in the Siberian snowfield two years ago kept replaying in his mind.

In the past two years, Antientropy has been looking for Di Ruiji's trace, but no matter how hard he searches, he can't find anything, as if the other party has disappeared from the earth.

I didn't expect that she would come to her so quietly, and brought two other girls whom she had never seen before.

Although they didn't feel anything, as if they were ordinary girls, Walter also felt this feeling on Di Ruiji.

Is Di Ruiji an ordinary girl?Obviously not, he didn't think that ordinary girls would act with Di Ruiji.

Walter adjusted his mood, raised his glasses calmly, and said, "It's just that Ein is too busy, so I came to help her substitute for a few days. Don't look at me like this, I am usually very busy."

"Oh? Is that really the case? That's really hard work, First Herrscher. According to my observations, you've also been involved in other fields besides researching Titan technology."

Speaking of this, Di Ruiji paused for a moment, her expression changed, and she continued: "The ACG field, that is "Homu World Adventure", and idols, this is the project you use to disguise, right? ?”

Walter fell silent, he raised his glasses again, this time he didn't have the vigilance just now, but wordlessly turned his eyes to the side, preventing Di Ruiji from seeing his embarrassing eyes now.

"Hey, don't these be the main business? Do you know what organization you are? As the thorn in the side of destiny, if you don't study technology well, how can you spend your heart on it?"

In fact, Tianming’s suppression of anti-entropy in these years has not been as serious as before, just to avoid being seen as flawed, and Otto still misses the punch that slapped his face, so he will punish them every once in a while. Made Tesla go into a rage.

According to eyewitness Dr. Liesel, whenever this happens, what Dr. Tesla says needs to be silenced, otherwise there is no way to broadcast it.

It's just that even without the suppression of Mandate of Heaven, the situation of anti-entropy is not good. You must know that research will cost a lot of money, and the cost of each Titan is not cheap, let alone those Titans with better performance.

The current anti-entropy no longer has Princess Nancy, the leader who can provide a large amount of funds. In order to prevent the anti-entropy from stopping due to insufficient funds, Walter, as the leader, must find a way to get money.

Oh, who is Princess Nancy you ask?His full name was Nancy Thomas Alva Edison, a pretty rich fellow.

Di Ruiji was helpless, she was very optimistic about the anti-entropy organization, why such a situation happened, I really don't know what to say.

"Forget about ACG, what about idols? According to my investigation, Anti-Entropy seems to want Tesla and Einstein to be idols at first. Is this proposal a joke?"

"No, seriously."

Walter shook his head: "Ignoring their real age, they are young and beautiful girls from the outside. Although they have never been in contact with idols, they are all geniuses. I believe that they will be able to sing and dance idols soon. Get the basics right."

"...Is there still a smile? The First Herrscher."

Alright, there are so many things she wants to complain about, she found that anti-entropy seems to have a talent for being a comedian, how could she be so serious about some plans that sounded like jokes.

"Do you have anything else to do, First Herrscher. If not, how about having a cup of tea with us? Yue's craftsmanship is very good, you won't be disappointed."

No, that's not what I care about, what I care about is your motivation for doing this!Also, although the school did not explicitly prohibit setting tables there to drink tea, most people would not do such a thing, and it would easily attract a large crowd of onlookers.

If they were ordinary people, there would indeed be a lot of people watching, but Di Ruiji was not an ordinary person, even if they passed by, no one noticed them.

Not only that, Walter also found that several students who should have walked to the table naturally walked around the table, which was completely unintentional.

Is that why he didn't notice?If Di Ruiji didn't call out to stop himself, he would have been unable to notice Di Ruiji and his party like the others.
