Human, am I evil?

Phyllis looked at the magic book anxiously. She really didn't mean to regard the book spirit as a toy... Well, she really regarded the magic book as her own toys for a while.

"This is another problem you need to deal with. She signed a contract with you because of me, but strictly speaking, you have not obtained her approval."

"She will teach you magic and answer your questions according to my requirements, but these actions are just to complete my tasks. You also want her to get along with you like a family member, or treat you as a work object, and do her own things every time Just go back?"

"Then... that is of course becoming family with her. Since we have signed a contract, we will always be together in the future. So... that... I don't want her to hate me, Lord Di Ruiji."

"Well, I understand what you mean. Let me ask you again, do you want me to order her and let her try to treat you as a family? Or do you work hard on your own to impress her slowly and let her think from the bottom of my heart? Want to be family with you?"

Phyllis blinked, and wanted to answer without too much hesitation, but before she could speak, Di Ruiji put his hand against his lips.

"Okay, I know what the answer is, so don't tell me again, Phyllis."

Phyllis smiled, and suddenly embraced Di Ruiji with both hands, buried her head in her arms, and said in a deep voice: "Actually... I don't want Master Di Ruiji to leave, I think Master Di Ruiji can Stay with me. But... I know that Lord Di Ruiji has something important to do, and I can't delay you any longer."

Di Ruiji didn't speak, but quietly stroked her hair, letting her lie in his arms to vent her reluctance.

Di Ruiji looked at the magic guide book, and the elf of the book that had already entered came out and stared at Felice lying in Di Ruiji's arms.

Noticing that Di Ruiji had found her, the book elf panicked, and was about to apologize before going back, Di Ruiji shook his head to signal her to keep quiet.

She looked at Phyllis in her arms, nodded to the book elf, and silently asked her to take good care of the child. She didn't need to be too partial, but it was enough to take care of her when she needed it.

The book elf nodded, just like what Di Ruiji said, she was actually very angry just now, but when she was in the magic book, she heard Felice's words and understood her idea of ​​wanting to be a family member with herself.

He actually wants to become a family member with himself, what does this guy think is such a simple thing?

She doesn't take care of her like those people Phyllis met in the past. If this guy can't get her approval, the relationship between her and Phyllis will always be the helper and the assisted person in the command room.

But...if she could do it, it would make her job a lot easier.

The next day, Di Ruiji woke up early, changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

"Master Di Ruiji."

"Phyllis? Woke up so early, did I wake you up?"

Phyllis shook her head. She guessed that Di Ruiji might leave without saying goodbye, so although she fell asleep, she tried to remind herself that she finally opened her eyes as soon as she noticed something moving.

"Go all the way, Lord Di Ruiji. Come back and meet me when you have time, and then tell me what you have seen and heard in other places, okay?"

"No problem, if you have something to say to me, you can write a letter and put it in the magic book, I can receive your letter according to the power of the magic book, and I can also send the letter to you. It doesn't matter where it is, as long as I'm still alive."

"really?"

I didn't expect to have such a function, this magic book is really amazing!

"You have to pay attention in the future. If you can, stay at home and learn magic, and wait for your father to deal with the problem before going out, you know?"

Those people must have other means to implement. It is best for Phyllis not to go out until it is completely safe. Even if she has the magic book by her side, with her current strength, she still cannot protect herself.

"I...I will be obedient."

"Well, then I'm leaving. I will come to see you when I have time. Write to me if you have anything to do, Phyllis."

With a wave of his hand, Di Ruiji turned into a black mist and disappeared in front of Felice. Such a cool way of leaving made Felice gasp in amazement.

As expected of Mrs. Di Ruiji, she was so handsome even at the last parting. Speaking of which, since she has such abilities, why did she have to walk in the wild for so many days?

Phyllis shook her head, looked at the magic book on the bedside table, recalled Di Ruiji's words yesterday, she clenched her fists.

"I will be family with you!"

Ark of Tomorrow: 009: Children of the Slums

Di Ruiji walked on the bustling streets of Longmen. This is the prosperity on the surface of Longmen, and it is also the picture in the eyes of most people.

But this is only a part of Longmen, and there is another unknown place, which is the slums of Longmen.

Suddenly, a small figure ran past Di Ruiji at an extremely fast speed and rushed into the slum.

Di Ruiji picked up the thing she dropped on the ground, it was a piece of bread, judging from the section, it should have been grasped too hard and broke it accidentally.

Di Ruiji followed the girl's footsteps into the slums. As soon as she entered the slums, she felt several pairs of eyes on her in the dark.

In addition to those malicious eyes, there are some who are in charge of monitoring, and they should be the subordinates of the Mouse King.

After going around, Di Ruiji finally arrived at the girl's destination, in a dilapidated house, which didn't look like a place where she could be a master.

But there are still masters here, and there are at least a dozen of them living here. Judging from the breath, they should all be children, and the breath of a few others has gradually weakened, and they seem to be sick.

"Who are you!?"

Just when Di Ruiji was about to enter, a boy stood in front of her. It was a child with bear ears.

He watched Di Ruiji uneasily, as if he had misunderstood something, and said that there was nothing here, or there was nothing you were looking for, and told Di Ruiji to leave quickly.

Di Ruiji didn't pay attention to the child's words, and let him go aside with a slight push. He was anxious to be tough, but he couldn't even touch Di Ruiji, so he could only watch her enter the house Inside.

Here...it should be an abandoned factory building. Di Ruiji saw some chemicals left here in the corner. This is not a good thing. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will produce a poisonous smell.

Putting these aside, the most important thing is the dozen or so children living here. They stayed together in the room on the first floor. When Di Ruiji came in, they showed fearful eyes.

Obviously her appearance does not have any deterrent effect, and she tried her best to look gentle, but these children are still so scared, is it because they usually suffer too much discrimination?

"You...why did you come here? Are you someone sent by those shops?"

Oh, so that's the case, I thought I was sent by those people to make trouble.

There are so many people here, these children must have stolen a lot of things, are they afraid that I will bring people here?Or are you afraid that I will take away the things they use to save their lives?

Di Ruiji shook his head, ignoring the eyes of those children, and went directly to a child sitting on the ground. She looked at Di Ruiji panting, and wanted to say something, but it was too uncomfortable, and all she could spit out was her breath.

"It's uncomfortable, isn't it? According to your situation, I guess you will be almost ready tomorrow."

As he said that, Di Ruiji first maintained the child's life, and at the same time checked her injuries to see what disease she had.

Her illness is not serious, it is the kind of flu, but she has not received effective treatment, and her own resistance is not high, resulting in her body becoming weaker and weaker.

Buy some medicine for this kind of disease, and it can be cured after taking a few days, but these children have no choice, they don't understand these things, and this child is infected, ordinary hospitals and pharmacies dare not treat her at all.

If there were doctors in the slums, they could still be treated, but not in the slums, which led them to choose to fight hard, or choose some local methods for treatment.

"Is there water?"

Di Ruiji looked at a child next to him and asked.

"There is...some."

Although there was not enough food, there was still water. They saw that Di Ruiji seemed to be treating the child, so they ran to fetch water for Di Ruiji immediately.

Di Ruiji took a look and shook his head: "It's not hygienic. It's best to boil it into hot water. If you don't know how to do it, forget it. I'll teach you next time."

Di Ruiji took out several bottles of water out of thin air and handed them to the child next to him, as well as medicines for treating this disease, let the child eat it, and finally fed her some water, and after confirming that she was just asleep, her face returned to rosy , and then nodded in satisfaction.

She picked her up under the shocked eyes of the children, went to a slightly cleaner place, put a blanket there, put the baby there, covered her with a cup, and let her rest.

"There are a few other children in the same situation as her, but the symptoms are not obvious. Would you like to come over and let me have a look? By the way, we will treat them together."

As he said that, Di Ruiji looked at several children respectively. They all felt uncomfortable, but the situation was still tolerable, so they didn't take it seriously.

Hearing Di Ruiji say that a minor illness will become a serious illness if it is not cured quickly, these children came out to accept Di Ruiji's treatment.

At night, in this dark factory building, the children gathered together, looking at the scented cauldron not far away.

Di Ruiji put the last portion of seasoning in silently, and then stirred the contents with a spoon.

Fresh fish and rice, these are things that they have no way to touch at ordinary times, and they can only look at them on the glass outside the restaurant, but now they actually appear in front of them.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but they think that the fish porridge made by Di Ruiji tastes better than those in those restaurants.

What made them even more unbelievable was Di Ruiji, what was this big sister who looked not much older than them here for?

They grew up in slums. Compared with those children protected by their parents, they can be regarded as the bottom row, and they have to worry about their own food and clothing every day.

Because there is really no way for a person to live well, so they can only hold together like this.

No one will pity themselves, only by themselves can they survive, this is the truth they gradually realized.

But today, someone broke their lives and released his kindness to them. This sudden kindness made them a little overwhelmed.

They looked at each other, wondering if there was anything bad in the seasoning that Di Ruiji had just added to the pot.

They had heard before that someone came to catch children in the slums, and that person added drugs that could make people unconscious in the food he brought.

Feeling the same, Di Ruiji extinguished the fire, stirred the porridge inside with a spoon, and when he wanted to taste some of the porridge, he noticed a lot of strong sights not far away.

The first thing she noticed was a girl's. She showed Di Ruiji what it means to be eager to see through, and she couldn't control her saliva.

Di Ruiji beckoned her to come over. Enticed by the food, the girl walked over without thinking too much, and took the slightly cold fish porridge Di Ruiji handed over.

"I... I started."

oh?I'm still a child from the Far East, yes, so many children with different characteristics don't seem to be from the same region.

I really don't know how they got together and depend on each other like this, maybe... because they have the same fate.

Um?this kid?Why are you crying?Could it be that my cooking is not delicious?

Seeing that the girl began to cry after just one mouthful, Di Ruiji thought that his cooking was not to her liking, and then saw the girl crying and eating mouthful after mouthful.

"Delicious... so delicious."

"Just like a fool, since it's delicious, why are you crying like that?"

Di Ruiji rubbed her somewhat messy hair angrily, because her hair was in a bad condition due to not taking care of it for a long time.

Although it was uncomfortable to touch, Di Ruiji didn't dislike it, and tried not to drag her hair, so that she could feel better.

With this kid as a role model, the other kids were no longer afraid to savor the most formal dinner they've had in years.

There are probably close to twenty children here, but the huge slum in Longmen is not only these dozen children, there are dozens of them here?Or a few hundred?There may even be thousands of children in need like this.

Di Ruiji has the ability to make them live a good life, but doing so will undoubtedly attract the attention of the Mouse King.

Even if she only came into contact with some children, but... what will happen to these children when they grow up?They are a powerful force, if they can be used well, they are sharp weapons.

It is naturally impossible for Di Ruiji to stay here to raise these children, but it is also impossible for her to do nothing, so the Mouse King will definitely see her.

Before that... Di Ruiji looked at the child who came to the room with a bowl of fish porridge to feed his sick companions.

Before that, whoever gets along with these children can improve the environment here by the way.

Although it is not satisfactory, with a little modification, it can become a place suitable for people to live in.

On the other hand, news of Di Ruiji's appearance in the slum also reached the ears of the Mouse King.

The Mouse King's eyeliner is all over the slums, and nothing that happens here can escape his ears, and the same goes for what happens outside.

Di Ruiji is an honored guest of the Louis family, the noble who saved the eldest lady of the Louis family, but such an honored person appeared in the slums and even ran to a place where a group of children gathered, which made him quite concerned.

"Master Mouse King, what should we do next?"

"Just continue to observe. I haven't messed up at the slightest sign of trouble. Let's see what she is going to do."

"clear."

After finishing speaking, the room fell into silence, and the Shu King stood here alone thinking about what Wei Yanwu said when he played chess with him some time ago.

"This girl who you commented is not simple seems to be planning to do something. Is she planning to start from the slums? Huh! Interesting. Let the old man see what kind of splash you can make in this place."

Tomorrow's Ark: 010: The First Confrontation with the Mouse King

"Oh! The electricity is coming too! The electricity is really coming!"

"Don't make noise! ​​Sister Di Ruiji said that this place was originally connected to electricity, but it was shut down because no one lived there. She restored it secretly. According to my sister, this is stealing electricity and cannot be discovered. of."

"Eh? This... isn't this very dangerous?"

"There should be, but as long as it is not discovered. My sister said that she did it very covertly, and there is no electricity outside. As long as it is used inside, there will definitely be no problem."

After several days of hard work, Di Ruiji and the children renovated the interior of the factory, and at the same time restored the two most critical things, water and electricity.

Next, she plans to restore the network, but the network in this world is different from the previous one. She needs to spend time to learn, and it will take a few days.

According to the past few days of getting along, the children have accepted the existence of Di Ruiji, and kindly call her sister, and everyone gets along very well.

They all put on new clothes, not the beautiful ones, but ordinary and old-looking ones.

This is a necessary disguise to live in the slums. Di Ruiji can ignore it. She has the ability to clean up all the villains who are targeting her, but the children have no choice.
